Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of fuel assembly end plug anomaly detection technology, and particularly relates to an intelligent detection method and system for fuel assembly end plug anomalies. Background Technology

[0002] Nuclear fuel assemblies are among the most important structural units in a nuclear reactor, and nuclear fuel rods are the core of these assemblies. End plugs, as structural materials for the nuclear fuel cladding rods, are responsible for sealing the uranium dioxide (UO2) pellets. The quality of the end plug welds directly affects the safe operation of the nuclear reactor; any defects can lead to nuclear leakage, threatening normal human life and the further development of the nuclear industry. Through precise end plug anomaly detection, defective end plugs can be detected, repaired, or replaced in a timely manner, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the nuclear fuel assembly.

[0003] Fuel assembly end plug anomaly detection plays a crucial role in ensuring the safe operation of nuclear reactors, improving detection efficiency, meeting regulatory requirements, preventing nuclear contamination, enhancing the reliability of nuclear fuel assemblies, and supporting process improvements.

[0004] Currently, fuel assembly end plug anomaly detection is typically performed manually, which involves a significant degree of subjectivity. Furthermore, due to limited worker attention, anomalies in the fuel assembly end plugs may not be detected promptly. Using deep learning for intelligent end plug detection can quantify end plug information to a certain extent, allowing for a more objective assessment of the fuel assembly end plug's condition.

[0005] Taking the upper plug of the fuel assembly as an example, in a frontal view from one side, there are typically 17 upper plugs on the outermost side. Anomalies in these 17 upper plugs include the following:

[0006] First, the relative distance between this set of upper plugs as a whole and the upper tube seat does not meet the specified threshold. For example, the overall relative distance does not reach the specified threshold (i.e., the upper plug is too close to the upper tube seat).

[0007] Second, the relative distance between one or more of the upper plugs in this group and the upper tube seat does not meet the specified threshold.

[0008] Third, under normal circumstances, there are 17 end plugs on one side of the fuel assembly. If the number of end plugs detected is insufficient, it indicates that there are missing end plugs.

[0009] Similarly, the lower plug also has similar problems, and the abnormality type detected by the lower plug is the same as that of the upper plug. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The purpose of this application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method and system for intelligent detection of fuel assembly end plug anomalies, which can complete the identification of fuel assembly end plug anomalies with high accuracy and high speed, reduce the workload of workers and improve the efficiency of four-sided appearance inspection of fuel assemblies.

[0101] The following detailed description provides further details on specific implementation methods.

[0102] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a method for intelligent detection of fuel assembly end plug anomalies, including steps S10 to S230, specifically including the following:

[0103] S10: Receive video footage of the fuel assembly's exterior from all four sides. Extract one frame from every N frames. The value of N can be determined based on the actual situation; N is a positive integer.

[0104] S20: Preprocess the extracted image and crop out the undetected areas in the image.

[0105] S21: Input an extracted image and manually draw out the areas that do not need to be detected using specialized software or tools;

[0106] S22: Automatically extract the coordinates of areas that do not need to be detected using existing algorithms;

[0107] S23: In subsequent video images, image regions that do not need to be detected are automatically cropped using existing algorithms.

[0108] S30: Using the fuel assembly feature localization model, input the preprocessed image and predict the location of features in the image. Fuel assembly features include the upper tube seat, the outer strip of the grid, and the lower tube seat.

[0109] In one embodiment, training the fuel component feature localization model includes:

[0110] S31: Using videos from multiple nuclear power plant overhauls, extract an appropriate number (e.g., 5000 images), label the upper tube seat, outer strip of the grid, and lower tube seat, and construct a fuel assembly feature dataset;

[0111] S32: Train and test a fuel component feature localization model using a deep learning framework and a fuel component feature dataset.

[0112] S40: When the predicted feature is the upper pipe seat, determine whether the y-coordinate of the lower right corner of the upper pipe seat's positioning box reaches a certain threshold. If it does, trigger the upper end plug anomaly detection state. It should be noted that this threshold can be set according to the actual situation. For example, the threshold can be 0.8 times the height of the preprocessed image.

[0113] S50: Using the corner plug positioning model, input the preprocessed image to locate the corner features of the upper tube seat and multiple upper plugs.

[0114] In one embodiment, training the corner pin localization model includes:

[0115] S51: Using videos from multiple nuclear power plant overhauls, extract an appropriate number (e.g., 5000 images) covering the upper / lower pipe seats and upper / lower end plugs, and label the corner features of the upper / lower pipe seats and the upper / lower end plugs to construct a corner plug localization dataset;

[0116] S52: Train and test the corner location model using a deep learning framework and a corner location dataset.

[0117] S60: Based on the range of the upper tube seat positioning frame, determine whether the upper tube seat corner feature box is in the lower half of the upper tube seat positioning frame, and select a suitable upper tube seat corner feature box.

[0118] S70: Based on the center point of the selected upper tube seat corner feature box, fit a reference straight line and calculate the slope and intercept of the reference straight line, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0119] S80: Based on the slope of the reference line, determine whether the slope of the reference line is within a suitable range (e.g., the absolute value of the slope is not greater than 1). If it is within an unsuitable range, continue waiting for the next detection image; if it is within a suitable range, flip the upper plug anomaly detection state and execute the subsequent process.

[0120] S90: Based on the number of upper plug positioning frames and the actual number of upper plugs, determine whether the upper plug is missing. If it is missing, output the detection result of the upper plug being missing; if it is not missing, output the detection result of the upper plug not being missing.

[0121] S100: Based on the upper plug positioning frame and the reference line, calculate the pixel distance from the top of each upper plug to the reference line, and determine whether the upper plug as a whole has shifted upward.

[0122] The pixel distance is calculated as follows:

[0123] like Figure 3 As shown, the pixel distance used in this application is a relative distance, that is, the pixel distance is calculated as follows: first, calculate the pixel distance for each upper plug ( Figure 3 The center point on the horizontal axis (x-axis) at the top of the purple box (the center point above the purple box) is used to calculate the distance from this center point to the reference line in S70. Figure 3 The distance L1 from the yellow line in the middle is used to obtain the distance S1 between the two corners of the upper tube seat below the tube seat. Figure 3The distance between the two yellow boxes is calculated as L1 / S1, and the pixel distance or relative distance is equal to L1 / S1. Then, the pixel distance from each upper plug to the reference line is calculated sequentially. By calculating the relative distance, the positional / distance relationship between each upper plug and the upper tube seat can be obtained more accurately, and the inaccuracy of anomaly detection will not be caused by errors in image extraction and processing.

[0124] Furthermore, when it is necessary to calculate the relative distance of this set of upper plugs relative to the upper tube seat, it is only necessary to calculate the average value L2 of each calculated distance L1, and the relative distance of the upper plugs is equal to L2 / S1.

[0125] In one embodiment, S100 specifically includes:

[0126] S101: Calculate the shoulder moment coefficient of each upper plug based on the pixel distance from the top of the upper plug to the reference line and the pixel distance from the center point of the upper tube seat corner feature box;

[0127] S102: Determine whether there is a falling rod for each upper plug based on the shoulder moment coefficient of each upper plug and the set threshold.

[0128] S103: Based on the shoulder moment coefficient of each upper plug and the set threshold, determine whether the upper plug as a whole has moved upward.

[0129] S110: Display and save the results of the upper plug anomaly detection.

[0130] S120: Set the corresponding trigger and termination conditions (for the lower plug). Refer to the upper plug anomaly detection process in S10-S110 to execute the lower plug anomaly detection process. It should be noted that re-entering the video is unnecessary because the video order is from upper plug to lower plug. The lower plug anomaly detection process includes:

[0131] S130: Receives video of the appearance of the fuel assembly from all four sides, extracting one frame every N frames.

[0132] S140: Preprocess the extracted image by cropping out undetected regions. The preprocessing method is the same as in S20 and will not be described in detail here.

[0133] S150: Using the fuel assembly feature localization model, input the preprocessed image and predict the feature locations in the image.

[0134] S160: When the predicted feature is the lower pipe seat, determine whether the y coordinate of the lower right corner of the positioning frame of the lower pipe seat reaches a certain threshold. If it does, trigger the lower end plug abnormality detection state.

[0135] S170: Using the corner plug positioning model, input the preprocessed image to locate the corner features of the lower tube seat and multiple lower plugs.

[0136] S180: Based on the range of the lower tube seat positioning frame, determine whether the lower tube seat corner feature box is in the upper half of the lower tube seat positioning frame, and select a suitable lower tube seat corner feature box.

[0137] S190: Based on the center point of the selected lower tube seat corner feature box, fit a reference line and calculate the slope and intercept of the reference line.

[0138] S200: Based on the slope of the reference line, determine whether the slope of the reference line is within a suitable range (the absolute value of the slope does not exceed 1). If it is in an unsuitable range, continue waiting for the next detection image; if it is within a suitable range, flip the lower end of the plug anomaly detection state and execute the subsequent process.

[0139] S210: Based on the number of lower end plug positioning frames and the actual number of lower end plugs, determine whether the lower end plug is missing. If it is missing, output the detection result of the lower end plug being missing; if it is not missing, output the detection result of the lower end plug not being missing.

[0140] S220: Based on the lower end plug positioning frame and the reference line, calculate the pixel distance from the top of each lower end plug to the reference line, and determine whether the lower end plug as a whole has shifted downward.

[0141] The pixel distance is calculated as follows:

[0142] like Figure 4 As shown, first calculate each lower plug ( Figure 4 The center point on the horizontal axis (x-axis) at the bottom of the purple box (the center point below the purple box) is calculated to be the reference line in S190. Figure 4 The distance L3 (the yellow line in the middle) is used to obtain the distance S2 (between the two corners of the lower tube seat above the tube seat). Figure 4 The distance between the two yellow boxes is calculated as L3 / S2, and the pixel distance or relative distance is equal to L3 / S2. Then, the pixel distance from each lower plug to the reference line is calculated sequentially. By calculating the relative distance, the positional / distance relationship between each lower plug and the lower tube seat can be obtained more accurately, and the inaccuracy of anomaly detection caused by errors in image extraction and processing can be avoided.

[0143] Furthermore, when it is necessary to calculate the relative distance of this set of lower end plugs relative to the lower tube seat, it is only necessary to calculate the average value L4 of each calculated distance L3, and the relative distance of the lower end plugs is equal to L4 / S2.

[0144] S230: Display and save the results of the lower plug anomaly detection.
