Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of optimization control technology, specifically referring to an intelligent sand and gravel screening efficiency optimization control system. Background Technology

[0002] The sand and gravel screening efficiency optimization control system is an intelligent system that utilizes artificial intelligence technology to optimize screening efficiency by collecting real-time data on material characteristics, equipment operating status, and environmental parameters. This helps formulate precise equipment control strategies, thereby improving sand and gravel screening efficiency and promoting the intelligent upgrading of the sand and gravel production process. However, existing sand and gravel screening efficiency optimization control systems suffer from several problems. Firstly, they fail to differentiate between operating conditions, resulting in insufficient targeted feature extraction. Secondly, they neglect complex interactions between features, focusing only on temporal features while lacking spatial correlation mining. This leads to large prediction errors and low accuracy in sand and gravel screening efficiency, failing to provide a reliable basis for optimization control. Furthermore, existing systems suffer from incomplete state descriptions, failing to consider the operating conditions of the screening process. They also rely on single reward indicators and control parameters that depend heavily on experience, making dynamic adjustment difficult. This results in an inability to accurately perceive the real-time screening scenario, leading to low adaptability and accuracy in sand and gravel screening efficiency optimization control. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the above issues and overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an intelligent sand and gravel screening efficiency optimization control system. Addressing the problems of existing systems that fail to differentiate between working conditions, resulting in insufficient feature extraction, neglecting complex interactions between features, focusing only on temporal features while lacking spatial correlation mining, leading to large prediction errors and low accuracy in sand and gravel screening efficiency, thus failing to provide a reliable basis for optimization control, this solution determines the working condition based on comprehensive variance, generates enhanced feature vectors, performs dynamic calibration based on keyness scoring, generates initial screening efficiency prediction values, constructs a temporal feature interaction graph based on feature type and corresponding working condition, generates random sampling disturbance coefficients to obtain two enhanced views, constructs positive and negative sample pairs, fuses temporal and spatial losses to construct a comprehensive loss function, obtains a sand and gravel screening efficiency prediction model, calibrates the initial screening efficiency prediction values, and outputs a model that simultaneously conforms to temporal changes and spatial correlations. The final predicted value of the regularity significantly improves the prediction accuracy, providing accurate and reliable data support for the subsequent dynamic optimization of control parameters. Addressing the problems in existing sand and gravel screening efficiency optimization control systems, such as one-sided state descriptions that fail to consider the working conditions of the screening process, single reward indicators, and control parameters that rely heavily on experience and are difficult to dynamically adjust, resulting in an inability to accurately perceive the real-time screening scenario and low adaptability and accuracy of sand and gravel screening efficiency optimization control, this solution sets up a state space and an action space, constructs an efficiency-gradient composite reward item, an equipment health-stability reward item, and an energy consumption-adjustment cost reward item. Based on working condition adaptive weight vector weighted fusion, a multi-objective weighted reward function is obtained. A reinforcement learning agent based on a near-end policy optimization algorithm is constructed to optimize network parameters with the objective of maximizing the expected cumulative discount reward, outputting the optimal operating control parameters for sand and gravel screening, significantly improving the adaptability and accuracy of sand and gravel screening efficiency optimization control.

[0004] The present invention provides an intelligent sand and gravel screening efficiency optimization control system, including a screening control data integration module, a sand and gravel screening efficiency prediction module, a sand and gravel screening control parameter optimization module, and an efficiency optimization control module;

[0005] The screening control data integration module collects historical screening control time series data and preprocesses it to construct training datasets and test datasets.

[0008] The efficiency optimization control module sends the optimal operating control parameters for sand and gravel screening to the programmable logic controller of the sand and gravel screening equipment, thereby realizing real-time adaptive optimization control of sand and gravel screening efficiency.

[0009] Furthermore, the screening control data integration module collects historical screening control time series data and performs preprocessing, dividing the preprocessed data into training datasets and test datasets;

[0010] The historical screening control time series data includes timestamps, material characteristic data, equipment operating status data, environmental parameter data, and screening efficiency, with screening efficiency used as the data label;

[0011] The preprocessing includes data cleaning, data encoding, and data normalization.

[0012] Furthermore, the sand and gravel screening efficiency prediction module predicts sand and gravel screening efficiency by constructing a sand and gravel screening efficiency prediction model. It includes a working condition feature fusion unit, a dynamic attention calibration unit, a feedforward prediction unit, a time-series feature interaction graph construction unit, a graph enhancement comparison unit, and a model optimization convergence unit; specifically, it includes the following:

[0013] The working condition feature fusion unit sets a threshold for the comprehensive variance, calculates the comprehensive variance within the window corresponding to each time step of the training dataset according to the sliding time window, and determines the working condition status of the data corresponding to each time step; extracts corresponding dynamic features according to different working condition statuses, extracts the linear trend features within the window for stable working condition data, and extracts the abrupt change features between adjacent time steps for transitional working condition data, fuses them to generate an enhanced feature vector, slices the enhanced sequence data in a sliding window manner, and performs standardization processing;

[0014] The dynamic attention calibration unit performs linear projection on the standardized enhanced data vector to generate a query matrix, a key matrix, and a value matrix. It calculates the basic self-attention, calculates the criticality score based on the working condition and feature fluctuation information at each time step, dynamically calibrates the attention weights based on the criticality score, and generates the calibrated attention output.

[0015] Feedforward prediction unit: The calibrated attention output is nonlinearly mapped through a feedforward neural network to obtain the initial screening efficiency prediction value. The temporal attention loss function is constructed by combining the mean square error and the attention weight regularization term.

[0016] The temporal feature interaction graph construction unit constructs a node set using each feature dimension as a graph node. Based on the feature type and corresponding working condition, it initializes an embedding vector for each node, calculates the interaction strength between any two nodes, selects the top C nodes with the highest interaction strength as adjacent nodes for each node, generates an edge set and an adjacency matrix, and constructs a temporal feature interaction graph based on the node set and edge set.

[0017] The graph enhancement contrast unit generates two independent random sampling perturbation coefficients for the temporal feature interaction graph, calculates the perturbation interaction strength, and updates the adjacency matrix to obtain two enhanced views. The graph convolutional network is used to aggregate features of the two enhanced views respectively, and the adjacency node information is fused to update the node embedding.

The spatial contrast loss function is constructed by combining the view contrast loss and the dynamic interaction consistency loss.

[0018] The model is optimized and converged. By combining the temporal attention loss function and the spatial contrast loss function, a comprehensive loss function is constructed. With the goal of minimizing the comprehensive loss, the Adam optimizer is used to update all learnable parameters synchronously to obtain the trained sand and gravel screening efficiency prediction model. The initial screening efficiency prediction value is calibrated and used as the final output of the sand and gravel screening efficiency prediction model.

[0019] Furthermore, the sand and gravel screening control parameter optimization module, by constructing a sand and gravel screening control parameter optimization model, dynamically optimizes the adjustable operating parameters of the screening equipment based on reinforcement learning to generate the optimal operating control parameters for sand and gravel screening. It includes a state-action space setting unit, a reward function setting unit, and an optimal control generation unit; specifically, it includes the following:

[0020] State and Action Space Setting Unit: Define the fusion vector containing material characteristic data, environmental parameter data, equipment operating status data, and working condition status markers during the sand and gravel screening process as the state space to obtain the state vector; Define the set of values ​​of the adjustable operating parameters of the screening equipment within its feasible range as the action space to obtain the action vector.

[0021] The reward function setting unit integrates the current screening efficiency achievement rate and efficiency rise gradient to construct an efficiency-gradient composite reward item; integrates the stability of adjustable parameter fluctuations and equipment health status to construct an equipment health-stability reward item; integrates motor energy consumption cost and parameter adjustment cost to construct an energy consumption-adjustment cost reward item; based on the current operating condition status label, an adaptive weight vector of operating conditions is generated, and the three reward items are weighted and integrated to finally construct a multi-objective weighted reward function.

[0022] The optimal control generation unit is constructed based on state vectors, action vectors, and a multi-objective weighted reward function. A reinforcement learning agent based on a proximal policy optimization algorithm is built. The agent's policy network takes the current state vector as input and outputs the probability distribution of each adjustable operating parameter value in the action vector. With the goal of maximizing the expected cumulative discount reward, the policy network parameters are iteratively optimized, and the current parameters are taken as the optimal policy network parameters. The corresponding network is a sand and gravel screening control parameter optimization model. The state vector is input into the trained policy network, and the recommended optimal operating control parameters for sand and gravel screening under the current state are output.

[0023] Furthermore, the efficiency optimization control module collects real-time screening control timing data, which includes timestamps, material characteristic data, equipment operating status data, and environmental parameter data. After data cleaning, encoding, and normalization, the real-time screening control timing data is sequentially input into the trained sand and gravel screening efficiency prediction model and sand and gravel screening control parameter optimization model to obtain the optimal operating control parameters for sand and gravel screening. These parameters are then sent to the programmable logic controller of the sand and gravel screening equipment to achieve real-time adaptive optimization control of sand and gravel screening efficiency.

[0024] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention using the above solution are as follows:

The initial predicted value of the law is obtained; based on the feature type and corresponding working condition, a time-series feature interaction graph is constructed to improve the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of feature representation; random sampling perturbation coefficients are generated to obtain two enhanced views, and positive and negative sample pairs are constructed to improve the reliability of spatial feature representation; a comprehensive loss function is constructed by fusing time-series and spatial losses to guide the model to simultaneously optimize the learning effect of time-series and spatial features; a sand and gravel screening efficiency prediction model is obtained, and the initial screening efficiency prediction value is calibrated to output the final prediction value that simultaneously conforms to the time-series change and spatial correlation law, significantly improving the prediction accuracy and providing accurate and reliable data support for subsequent dynamic optimization of control parameters.

[0047] Example 3, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment, based on the above embodiment, predicts sand and gravel screening efficiency by constructing a sand and gravel screening efficiency prediction model in the sand and gravel screening efficiency prediction module. It includes a working condition feature fusion unit, a dynamic attention calibration unit, a feedforward prediction unit, a time-series feature interaction graph construction unit, a graph enhancement comparison unit, and a model optimization convergence unit; specifically, it includes the following:

[0048] The working condition feature fusion unit addresses the issue of stable and transitional working conditions in sand and gravel screening. Traditional models fail to differentiate between these conditions, leading to insufficient feature extraction and confusion between trend features of stable conditions and abrupt changes in transitional conditions, resulting in large prediction errors. This unit sets a threshold for the comprehensive variance and calculates the comprehensive variance within each time window of length ω for the data in the training dataset, determining the working condition status of the data at each time point. If the comprehensive variance is less than or equal to the variance threshold, the data is classified as stable working condition data, and its working condition status value is marked as 0. If the comprehensive variance is greater than the variance threshold, the data is classified as... Transitional operating condition data is used, and its operating condition state value is marked as 1. Corresponding dynamic features are extracted based on different operating conditions. For stable operating condition data, linear trend features within a window are extracted, while for transitional operating condition data, abrupt change features between adjacent time points are extracted. These are fused to generate an enhanced feature vector. The enhanced sequence data is then sliced ​​using a sliding window method and standardized. This achieves feature matching with operating conditions. The fused enhanced feature vector retains key information under different operating conditions, enabling the model to adapt to fluctuations in the screening process and reduce prediction bias during operating condition switching. The formulas used are as follows:

[0049] ;

[0050] ;

[0051] ;

[0052] In the formula, is the overall variance of the data corresponding to the t-th timestamp, where t is the timestamp index, D is the total number of features, d is the feature index, and ω is the sliding window length, ω=5. It is the value of the d-th feature at the i-th time step, where i is the time step index. It is the mean of the d-th feature within the window corresponding to the t-th timestamp. and S t These are the enhanced feature vector and the original feature vector corresponding to the data at the t-th timestamp, respectively, where T is the vector transpose operation. It is the linear trend feature vector of features within the window under stable operating conditions, with a variance threshold ∈ [0.01, 0.05].

It is a standardized augmented data vector. , and These are the standardized enhanced feature vectors corresponding to the t-th, t-1-th, and t-ω+1-th timestamps, respectively. , σ x and μ x These are the variance vector and mean vector of each dimension of the enhanced feature vector within the sliding window, respectively. It is a smoothing term. , It is a Hadama pile;

[0053] Dynamic Attention Calibration Unit: Traditional self-attention mechanisms distribute feature weights equally across all time steps of the screened data, failing to highlight critical time points or important information with drastic feature fluctuations during transitional operating conditions. This leads the model to focus on irrelevant data, limiting prediction accuracy. This unit performs linear projection on the standardized augmented data vectors to generate query, key, and value matrices. It then calculates the basic self-attention and, based on the operating conditions and feature fluctuations at each time step, calculates a criticality score. The attention weights are dynamically calibrated based on this score, generating a calibrated attention output. This allows the model to focus on core data with large feature fluctuations during transitional operating conditions, improving the relevance of the attention output, reducing interference from redundant data in stable operating conditions, ensuring the model's sensitivity to key time-series information affecting efficiency, and improving the real-time performance and accuracy of efficiency prediction. The formulas used are as follows:

[0054] ;

[0055] ;

[0056] ;

[0057] In the formula, Q, K, and V are respectively The query matrix, key matrix, and value matrix obtained by linear projection, d k It is the attention head dimension. It is a normalization function. and These are the basic self-attention output and the calibrated attention output, respectively, and the score. i It represents the key score at the i-th time step within the sliding window, where α is the score weight coefficient, α∈[0.7, 0.9]. and These are the standard deviations of the enhanced feature vectors at the i-th and j-th time steps, respectively, where j is the time step index, and L...i W is the operating condition value corresponding to the i-th time step. calib It is the calibrated attention weight matrix. , It is the criticality score vector [Score1, Score2, ..., Score... ω ] T The matrix after broadcast expansion, Score1, Score2, and Score ω These are the criticality scores for the 1st, 2nd, and ωth time steps within the sliding window, respectively. It is an indicator function; it takes the value 1 if the condition is true, and 0 otherwise.

[0058] Feedforward prediction unit: Training solely with mean squared error can easily lead to the model overemphasizing short-term efficiency errors, neglecting the rationality of attention weights, resulting in overfitting to some outliers and reducing the model's applicability in actual screening scenarios. A feedforward neural network is used to perform a nonlinear mapping on the calibrated attention output to obtain the initial screening efficiency prediction value. Combining the mean squared error and the attention weight regularization term, a temporal attention loss function is constructed. This optimizes prediction accuracy while constraining the rationality of weights, avoiding model overfitting, and making the initial prediction value more closely reflect the actual variation of screening efficiency, providing a reliable foundation for subsequent calibration. The formulas used are as follows:

It is the temporal attention loss function, T train It is the total number of timestamps in the training dataset. and These are the initial screening efficiency prediction value and the actual screening efficiency value corresponding to the t-th timestamp, respectively, where λ is the regularization coefficient, λ∈[0.005, 0.015]. It is the calibrated attention weight of the i-th time step in the sliding window corresponding to the t-th timestamp;

[0062] A temporal feature interaction graph construction unit is used. Complex interaction relationships exist among various features in sand and gravel screening. Traditional models fail to explore the spatial correlations between features, resulting in insufficient modeling of the mechanisms by which multiple parameters synergistically affect efficiency. This unit uses each feature dimension as a graph node, constructs a node set, initializes an embedding vector for each node based on the feature type and corresponding operating condition, calculates the interaction strength between any two nodes, and selects the top C nodes with the highest interaction strength as adjacent nodes for each node, generating an edge set and adjacency matrix. A temporal feature interaction graph is then constructed based on the node set and edge set. This accurately captures the synergistic effects between features such as material properties and equipment status, enabling the model to learn the combined impact of multiple parameters on efficiency, compensating for the shortcomings of focusing only on temporal features and improving the comprehensiveness of feature representation. The formulas used are as follows:

[0063] ;

[0064] ;

[0065] In the formula, and Let be the initial embedding vectors of node u and node v at the t-th timestamp, where u and v are node indices. The feature type corresponding to node u is: material characteristic data, equipment operating status data, and environmental parameter data. Their features correspond to material type, equipment type, and environment type, respectively. yes The weights for the types are as follows: material type, equipment type, and environment type are 1.0, 0.9, and 0.7, respectively. and These are the standardized enhanced feature vectors corresponding to node u and node v at the t-th timestamp, respectively. δ is the embedding layer function, where δ is the transition condition embedding enhancement coefficient, δ∈[0.1, 0.3], and C is the number of adjacent nodes, C∈[5, 12]. γ is the interaction strength between node u and node v at the t-th timestamp, and γ is the eigenvalue difference decay coefficient, γ∈[0.1, 0.5]. It is the maximum L2 norm of the feature vectors of all nodes within timestamp t in the training dataset. It is the L2 norm;

[0066] Graph-enhanced contrast unit: Feature interaction graphs are susceptible to data noise, and the model lacks robustness in learning feature associations, failing to stably capture the dynamic changes in feature interactions under different working conditions, resulting in insufficient spatial feature learning accuracy. For temporal feature interaction graphs, two independent random sampling perturbation coefficients are generated, the perturbation interaction strength is calculated, and the adjacency matrix is ​​updated to obtain two enhanced views. A graph convolutional network is used to aggregate features from the two enhanced views, fusing adjacency node information to update node embeddings. Based on interaction strength and node type, positive and negative sample pairs are constructed from each enhanced view. A spatial contrast loss function is constructed by combining view contrast loss and dynamic interaction consistency loss. This enhances the model's ability to learn feature associations, reduces noise interference, makes spatial feature representation more reliable, and provides accurate spatial dimensional support for comprehensive prediction. The formulas used are as follows:

[0067] ;

This is the dynamic interaction consistency loss value, where M is the total number of nodes in the temporal feature interaction graph. It represents the model-predicted interaction strength between nodes u and v at the t-th timestamp. It is a spatial contrast loss function;

[0074] Model optimization convergence unit: Relying solely on a single loss function can easily lead to model bias towards a particular temporal or spatial dimension, resulting in an ambiguous convergence criterion and failing to ensure the model reaches global optimum in the screening efficiency prediction task. Furthermore, the predicted values ​​are not calibrated using feature interactions. By combining the temporal attention loss function and the spatial contrast loss function, a comprehensive loss function is constructed. With the goal of minimizing the comprehensive loss, the Adam optimizer is used to synchronously update all learnable parameters. When the comprehensive loss of the test dataset decreases by less than [a certain value] for five consecutive training iterations, the model is optimized. When the number of training iterations reaches the preset maximum, the model is considered converged and training is stopped. During training, the model parameters corresponding to the minimum overall loss in the test dataset are saved to obtain the trained sand and gravel screening efficiency prediction model. The initial screening efficiency prediction value is calibrated and used as the final output of the sand and gravel screening efficiency prediction model. This ensures that the final prediction value conforms to both temporal variation and spatial correlation patterns, improving prediction accuracy and providing a precise basis for subsequent control parameter optimization. The formula used is as follows:

[0075] ;

[0076] ;

[0077] in, It is a comprehensive loss function. It is the calibrated predicted screening efficiency value at the t-th timestamp.

[0078] By performing the above operations, this solution addresses the problems in existing sand and gravel screening efficiency optimization control systems. These problems include insufficient feature extraction due to a lack of differentiation between working conditions, neglect of complex interactions between features, and a focus solely on temporal features without spatial correlation mining. This results in large prediction errors and low accuracy in sand and gravel screening efficiency, failing to provide a reliable basis for optimization control. This solution determines the working condition based on comprehensive variance, generates enhanced feature vectors to achieve precise matching between features and working conditions, and retains key information under different working conditions.

It includes a state-action space setting unit, a reward function setting unit, and an optimal control generation unit; specifically, it includes the following:

[0080] State-Action Space Setting Unit: In traditional control, the state description is one-sided, the range of adjustable parameters is vague, and it does not take into account the characteristics of the screening process, which makes it impossible for the reinforcement learning agent to accurately perceive the scene state and output reasonable control actions. The fusion vector containing material characteristic data, environmental parameter data, equipment operating status data, and operating status markers in the sand and gravel screening process is defined as the state space, and the state vector is obtained. The set of adjustable operating parameters of the screening equipment within its feasible range is defined as the action space, thus obtaining the action vector. The system comprehensively depicts the screening scenario, ensuring accurate perception and compliant actions by the intelligent agent. This guarantees that optimization aligns with the actual operating capabilities of the equipment, preventing equipment malfunctions caused by parameters exceeding limits.

[0081] The reward function setting unit addresses the issue that a single reward indicator can easily lead to large fluctuations in equipment parameters, excessive energy consumption, or health problems, failing to meet the multi-objective requirements of "high efficiency, low consumption, and safety" in the screening process. This unit integrates the current screening efficiency achievement rate with the efficiency rise gradient to construct an efficiency-gradient composite reward item; it also integrates the stability of adjustable parameter fluctuations with the equipment health status to construct an equipment health-stability reward item; and it integrates motor energy consumption cost with parameter adjustment cost to construct an energy consumption-adjustment cost reward item. Based on the current operating condition status label, an adaptive weight vector is generated, and the three reward items are weighted and integrated to finally construct a multi-objective weighted reward function. This ensures the reward function aligns with actual production needs, guiding the agent to output control parameters that consider multiple objectives. The formulas used are as follows:

[0088] Optimal control generation unit; traditional control parameter setting relies on experience, cannot be dynamically adjusted according to real-time operating conditions, and is difficult to balance long-term cumulative benefits and short-term efficiency, resulting in poor adaptability of control parameters; based on state vectors, action vectors, and multi-objective weighted reward functions, a reinforcement learning agent based on a proximal policy optimization algorithm is constructed, and the policy network π of this agent... θ With the current state vector q t As input, output action vector a t The probability distribution of the values ​​of each adjustable operating parameter is used to iteratively optimize the policy network parameter θ with the goal of maximizing the expected cumulative discount reward.

[0094] By performing the above operations, this solution addresses the problems in existing sand and gravel screening efficiency optimization control systems, such as one-sided state descriptions that fail to consider the working conditions of the screening process, single reward indicators, and control parameters that rely heavily on experience and are difficult to dynamically adjust. These issues result in an inability to accurately perceive the real-time screening scenario, leading to low adaptability and accuracy in sand and gravel screening efficiency optimization control. This solution establishes a state space and action space to comprehensively characterize the screening scenario state, ensuring accurate perception of real-time working conditions. It constructs efficiency-gradient composite reward items, equipment health-stability reward items, and energy consumption-adjustment cost reward items, covering key objectives throughout the entire screening production process and providing comprehensive optimization guidance for the agent's learning. A multi-objective weighted reward function is obtained through weighted fusion of working condition adaptive weight vectors, enhancing the working condition adaptability of the reward mechanism and guiding the output of parameters that better meet actual production needs.
