[0021] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0022] To better understand the technical solution of this application, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0023] The application provides an excitation current to a Wheatstone bridge through a constant current source, two adjacent bridge arms of the Wheatstone bridge are respectively composed of a reference section and a monitoring section on the same pipeline of a boiler, and the other two adjacent bridge arms are composed of two fixed resistors; first voltage data of the reference section and the monitoring section and second voltage data of the two fixed resistors are obtained from the Wheatstone bridge, and a voltage difference value is obtained according to the first voltage data and the second voltage data; environmental data is obtained, a thickness reduction amount of a pipe wall of the monitoring section is obtained according to the environmental data, the voltage difference value and a preset lookup table; and state early warning information is generated based on a comparison result of the thickness reduction amount and a preset threshold.

[0024] The pipe wall of a boiler heating surface is prone to thinning due to long-term high-temperature, corrosion and wear environment. The existing monitoring technology such as a bypass probe method is inaccurate due to environmental differences, and a direct resistance measurement method is seriously disturbed by temperature, so how to improve the accuracy of boiler pipe wall thinning monitoring is still a problem to be solved.

[0025] The application parallelly arranges a reference section and a monitoring section on the same pipeline, and adopts a Wheatstone bridge differential measurement principle to convert synchronous resistance changes of the two sections caused by temperature changes into common mode signals for suppression, thereby improving the accuracy of boiler pipe wall thinning monitoring.

[0026] Based on this, the application embodiment provides a pipe wall thinning monitoring method for a boiler heating surface, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The flowchart of the first embodiment of the pipe wall thinning monitoring method for the boiler heating surface of the application is shown.

[0027] In this embodiment, the pipe wall thinning monitoring method for the boiler heating surface comprises steps S10-S40: Step S10: providing an excitation current to a Wheatstone bridge through a constant current source, two adjacent bridge arms of the Wheatstone bridge are respectively composed of a reference section and a monitoring section on the same pipeline of a boiler, and the other two adjacent bridge arms are composed of two fixed resistors; It should be noted that the execution subject of the embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device capable of realizing the above functions, a pipe wall thinning monitoring device for a boiler heating surface, etc. In the following, the pipe wall thinning monitoring device for the boiler heating surface is taken as an example to describe the embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0028] It should be noted that the principle of the application is that two adjacent pipe sections experiencing the same temperature history and environment are selected on the same pipeline, one as a reference section and one as a monitoring section. The relative change of the resistance of the two is measured by the Wheatstone bridge, not the absolute value, which can be referred to Figure 2 ,Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the measurement contact arrangement on a single pipeline and the differential measurement principle. Since the influence of temperature change on the two sections is synchronous and similar (common mode signal), and the wall thickness thinning only acts on the monitoring section (differential mode signal), the bridge output can greatly suppress the common mode interference and extract the weak effective signal. Among them, the measurement contact unit is made of high-temperature resistant alloy material through laser welding or high-temperature sintering sealing process, which ensures the formation of durable, stable and low resistance ohmic contact with the pipe wall, and ensures electrical insulation. For reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure, which sequentially measures the mechanical energy of the boiler heating surface pipeline through the measurement contact unit, collects data through the differential data acquisition module, transmits data through the signal transmission unit and the shielded twisted pair, processes data through the data concentrator, displays results through the data analysis and monitoring platform industrial computer or server, and can realize Web visualization through human-computer interaction interface, and data storage and early warning.

[0029] It should be noted that for reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a Wheatstone half-bridge measurement circuit schematic. Figure 2 , R_ref corresponds to Figure 2 the reference section resistance, R_mon corresponds to the monitoring section resistance, both of which are connected to the two arms of the bridge; R1, R2 are high-precision fixed resistors, which constitute the other two arms of the bridge, used to provide a stable reference voltage. Node A is the constant current source input point, node B is the bridge output ground reference point, nodes C and D are respectively the connection points of R_mon and R2 in the bridge, and the potential difference V_out = V_C - V_D is used as the differential voltage output. The voltage output reflects the resistance change of the monitoring section relative to the reference section in real time. Its core principle is: according to the conductor resistance law, where is the material resistivity, is the length of the conductor, and is the cross-sectional area of the conductor. For a pipeline of a certain length (constant), its cross-sectional area (where is the outer diameter of the pipeline, and is the wall thickness). When the wall thickness is reduced (decreased), the effective cross-sectional area of the conductor will decrease, resulting in an increase in the resistance R_mon. Therefore, the change of the monitoring section resistance R_mon directly reflects the thinning of the wall thickness. The relative change (ΔR / R) of the resistance is measured by the Wheatstone half-bridge, and the differential voltage V_out is output. Through pre-experimental calibration or theoretical calculation, a quantitative corresponding relationship (i.e. calibration curve) between V_out and wall thickness reduction (Δt) is established, and the actual pipe wall thickness reduction is obtained, realizing high-precision online monitoring. Therefore, by measuring the value of V_out in real time, the actual pipe wall thickness reduction of the monitoring section can be directly converted through the relationship, thereby realizing high-precision online monitoring and life assessment.

[0030] In a possible implementation, the step of providing the excitation current to the Wheatstone bridge by the constant current source comprises: generating an excitation current of a preset size by the constant current source; applying the excitation current to the Wheatstone bridge circuit; monitoring stability of the excitation current, and calibrating when fluctuation of the excitation current exceeds an allowable range.

[0031] It should be noted that a precision constant current source chip with low temperature drift can be used to generate a stable current of 150 mA, and fluctuation of the current is controlled within ±0.01%; the generated stable current is applied to a Wheatstone half-bridge circuit composed of a reference section, a monitoring section, and two 100Ω precision resistors; the stability of the excitation current is monitored in real time by the built-in current monitoring circuit, and when it is detected that the current fluctuation exceeds ±0.05%, the digital potentiometer is automatically started for current calibration, thereby ensuring the measurement accuracy.

[0032] Step S20: obtaining first voltage data of the reference section and the monitoring section and second voltage data of the two fixed resistors from the Wheatstone bridge, and obtaining a voltage difference value according to the first voltage data and the second voltage data; It should be noted that the differential data acquisition module can be a sealed metal shell, and the Wheatstone bridge circuit, the high-precision constant current source, the high common-mode rejection ratio instrument amplifier, the 24-bit high-precision ADC, and the temperature sensor are built-in. The signal transmission unit can be connected by shielded twisted pair lines to transmit data remotely to the monitoring platform.

[0033] In a possible implementation, the step of obtaining the voltage difference value according to the first voltage data and the second voltage data comprises: performing differential amplification and filtering processing on the first voltage data and the second voltage data by a differential amplifier to obtain a first amplified voltage and a second amplified voltage; and obtaining the voltage difference value according to the first amplified voltage and the second amplified voltage.

[0034] It should be noted that the instrument amplifier with a high common-mode rejection ratio (>120dB) can be used to acquire the first voltage signal between the reference section and the monitoring section; meanwhile, the same acquisition channel is used to acquire the second voltage signal between the two fixed resistors; the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal are amplified by 500 times by the instrument amplifier to obtain an amplified voltage difference signal; and a second-order Butterworth low-pass filter is used to filter the amplified voltage difference signal, and the cutoff frequency is set to 10 Hz to eliminate high-frequency electromagnetic interference in the field.

[0035] Step S30: obtaining environmental data, and obtaining a pipe wall thickness reduction amount of the monitoring section according to the environmental data, the voltage difference value, and a preset lookup table; It should be noted that the environmental data includes temperature values, pipe wall materials, etc. The preset lookup table can be a large number of empirical values obtained according to historical data before. The real-time temperature value measured by the temperature sensor attached to the surface of the pipeline is introduced when calculating the wall thickness reduction, which can assist in compensating and correcting the final calculated wall thickness reduction.

[0036] In a feasible manner, after the step of obtaining the wall thickness reduction of the monitoring section, the method further comprises: calculating a reduction rate according to the change time of the thickness reduction; comparing the reduction rate with a preset rate threshold to obtain a rate comparison result; and generating state warning information according to the rate comparison result.

[0037] It should be noted that after obtaining the wall thickness reduction of the monitoring section, the reduction rate can be calculated according to the change time of the thickness reduction, and a sliding time window method is used with 1000 hours as a calculation period. Then the calculated reduction rate is compared with a preset multi-level rate threshold, and the rate threshold is set to 0.05mm / 1000 hours, 0.10mm / 1000 hours and 0.15mm / 1000 hours. Finally, according to the rate comparison result, the corresponding state warning information is generated. When the monitored reduction rate increases from the initial 0.05mm / 1000 hours to 0.12mm / 1000 hours, the system triggers an accelerated wear warning, prompting the operation and maintenance personnel to pay attention to the wear intensification trend.

[0038] Step S40: generating state warning information based on the comparison result of the thickness reduction and the preset threshold.

[0039] It should be noted that based on the comparison result of the thickness reduction and the preset threshold, it can be judged whether the current reduction is abnormal, and multi-level warning can be performed according to the amount of reduction.

[0040] In a feasible manner, after the step of generating state warning information based on the comparison result of the thickness reduction and the preset threshold, the method further comprises: visually highlighting and positioning the corresponding position of the thickness reduction on the three-dimensional boiler model; and synchronously displaying the state warning information at the corresponding position.

[0041] It should be noted that after generating state warning information based on the comparison result of the thickness reduction and the preset threshold, the embodiment can visually highlight and position the corresponding position of the thickness reduction on the three-dimensional boiler model, and use a red highlight flashing effect to identify the pipe section with excessive reduction. Then the state warning information is synchronously displayed at the corresponding position, including displaying the specific reduction value (such as reduction: 2.1mm), reduction rate and risk level in the form of a label. The operation and maintenance personnel can view the detailed historical data and trend analysis chart of the monitoring point by clicking on the highlighted area on the three-dimensional model.

[0042] In a feasible manner, after the step of generating state warning information based on the comparison result of the thickness reduction amount and the preset threshold, the method further comprises: acquiring historical data of the thickness reduction amount and generating a reduction trend curve; performing residual life prediction calculation based on the reduction trend curve and generating a monitoring report.

[0043] It should be noted that after generating the state warning information, the embodiment can also acquire historical data of the thickness reduction amount, generate a reduction trend curve with 8 months as a complete monitoring period, and use an exponential fitting algorithm to improve the prediction accuracy. Then, residual life prediction calculation is performed based on the reduction trend curve, and a linear extrapolation method is used in combination with a material creep characteristic model to trigger a warning when the predicted residual life is lower than a major repair cycle. Finally, a complete monitoring report containing the current state, trend analysis, residual life prediction, and maintenance recommendations is automatically generated, and the report is output in PDF format and automatically sent to the equipment management department.

[0044] In the embodiment, a constant current source provides excitation current to a Wheatstone bridge, two adjacent bridge arms of the Wheatstone bridge are respectively composed of a reference section and a monitoring section on the same pipeline of the boiler, and the other two adjacent bridge arms are composed of two fixed resistors; first voltage data of the reference section and the monitoring section and second voltage data of the two fixed resistors are acquired from the Wheatstone bridge, and a voltage difference value is obtained according to the first voltage data and the second voltage data; environmental data is acquired, and a thickness reduction amount of the monitoring section is obtained according to the environmental data, the voltage difference value, and a preset lookup table; and state warning information is generated based on a comparison result of the thickness reduction amount and a preset threshold. In the embodiment, the reference section and the monitoring section are arranged in parallel on the same pipeline, and the Wheatstone bridge differential measurement principle is used to convert the synchronous resistance changes of the two sections of the pipeline caused by temperature changes into common mode signals for suppression, thereby improving the accuracy of the boiler pipe wall thickness reduction monitoring.

[0045] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as the above-mentioned first embodiment can be referred to the above introduction, and the following will not be described in detail. On this basis, please refer to Figure 5 , step S40 further comprises steps S401-S402: Step S401: comparing the thickness reduction amount with a preset threshold to determine the severity level of the thickness reduction amount; It should be noted that the thickness reduction amount calculated in real time is compared with the preset three-level threshold, and the three-level threshold is set to 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, and 2.5 mm, corresponding to the three severity levels of attention, warning, and danger.

[0046] Step S402: generating state warning information of the corresponding level according to the severity level.

[0047] It should be noted that the severity level of the thickness reduction is determined according to the comparison result, and when the thickness reduction reaches 2.0mm, it is determined as a warning level. Then, the state warning information of the corresponding level is generated according to the severity level, including displaying a yellow warning icon on the monitoring interface, issuing an audible and visual alarm, and sending the warning information to the relevant operation and maintenance personnel through the short message platform.

[0048] In this embodiment, the thickness reduction is compared with a preset threshold to determine the severity level of the thickness reduction; and state warning information of a corresponding level is generated according to the severity level. In this embodiment, multi-level warning is performed through the severity level of the thickness reduction, so that the thickness reduction is found in time in the early stage, and the speed of finding the thickness reduction is improved.

[0049] For the purpose of understanding the implementation process of the boiler heating surface tube wall thinning monitoring method obtained after the above-mentioned embodiment one, an example is provided as follows: Figure 6 , Figure 6 A brief flowchart of a boiler heating surface tube wall thinning monitoring method is provided, specifically: collecting an original voltage signal V_out, performing digital filtering processing on the signal data, obtaining a voltage signal by selecting temperature auxiliary compensation, and substituting into a V_out-△d model calculation to obtain a tube wall thinning amount and update a database for display. By judging whether the tube wall thinning amount or the thinning rate exceeds a threshold value, a corresponding level alarm is triggered, and a record log and a push information are pushed.

[0050] It should be noted that the above examples are only used for understanding the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the boiler heating surface tube wall thinning monitoring method of the present application. More forms of simple transformation based on this technical concept are within the protection scope of the present application.
