Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of machine learning-based industrial intelligent detection, and particularly relates to a boiler heating surface pipe wall leakage detection method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The heating surface pipe system of the boiler equipment of a thermal power plant has been running in an extremely harsh working condition of high temperature and high pressure and flue gas scouring for a long time. The heating surface pipe wall leakage is the primary cause of the unscheduled shutdown of the boiler. According to industry statistics, the shutdown accidents caused by four-pipe leakage account for more than 40%. Once a small leakage occurs, if it cannot be discovered and handled in time within the golden window period of 10 to 30 minutes, the high-pressure jet flow of up to 15 MPa to 25 MPa will quickly blow away the adjacent pipe row, causing a chain reaction of pipe burst accidents, causing huge economic losses and seriously threatening the safety of on-site personnel.

[0003] The detection methods commonly used in the industrial field at present have significant defects. The traditional manual listening method seriously depends on the personal experience of the inspection personnel, cannot realize 24-hour all-weather real-time monitoring, and often cannot distinguish the weak leakage sound with a sound intensity lower than 10 dB in the furnace. Although the conventional acoustic monitoring technology realizes non-contact measurement, during the operation of the boiler, the furnace is filled with combustion noise with a frequency of 50 Hz to 500 Hz, blow ash noise of up to 110 dB, and fan airflow noise. The sound pressure level of these strong background noise is often much higher than the jet flow sound signal generated by early small leakage, causing the leakage characteristics to be completely submerged, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the system is usually lower than 5 dB, which is prone to false positives or false negatives. In addition, most of the existing positioning methods are based on the assumption of ideal normal temperature sound speed (about 340 m / s), ignoring the nonlinear influence of the extremely uneven temperature field distribution inside the furnace on the sound wave propagation speed, resulting in a sound source positioning error of usually more than 2 m, which cannot provide accurate fault point coordinates for maintenance personnel.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent detection method that can adaptively filter out strong background colored noise, automatically mine weak leakage characteristics from massive data, and realize sub-meter high-precision positioning combined with temperature field distribution.

[0051] The present invention proposes a method for detecting leaks in the tube walls of boiler heating surfaces, the overall process of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0052] S1. High-fidelity wave field acquisition and signal preprocessing of the high-temperature acoustic array in the furnace: This step first involves hardware layout. The analog voltage signals output by the high-temperature acoustic sensor array and the piezoelectric ceramic sensor are pre-amplified and then transmitted to the high-speed synchronous data acquisition card. Second, the acquisition card performs analog-to-digital conversion on the signals to obtain discrete voltage sequences, and converts them into discrete sound pressure sequences based on sensitivity coefficients. These sequences are then spliced ​​together in channel order to generate the original acoustic observation data. Finally, an infinite impulse response bandpass filter is used to filter out power frequency and low-frequency interference, and a one-dimensional preprocessed acoustic time history signal is formed within a locked time window for subsequent algorithm processing, serving as input data for subsequent processing.

[0053] S2. Signal Enhancement Method Based on Improved Sparrow Search Algorithm: This step takes the preprocessed acoustic time history signal as input. First, a parameter optimization model is established with the goal of minimizing the average envelope entropy. Second, an improved sparrow search algorithm incorporating chaotic mapping and Cauchy mutation is used to iteratively search within the parameter space, outputting the optimal number of modes and the optimal penalty factor required for variational mode decomposition. Third, variational mode decomposition is performed on the same preprocessed time history signal using the optimal parameters to obtain several intrinsic mode components, and the correlation coefficient and kurtosis of each component are calculated to characterize their correlation with the leakage impact component. Finally, effective modes that meet the threshold conditions are selected and linearly superimposed for reconstruction, outputting the enhanced leakage signal.

[0054] S3. Constructing a dual-flow spatio-temporal attention deep neural network to realize feature fusion and boiler leakage type identification: This step takes the enhanced leakage signal as input. First, in the frequency domain branch, the signal is subjected to short-time Fourier transform to generate a two-dimensional time-frequency spectrum, and a convolutional neural network is used to extract a frequency domain feature vector. Second, in the time domain branch, 12 physical statistical characteristic quantities of the signal are calculated to construct a time domain feature sequence matrix, which is input into a bidirectional long short-term memory network to extract a time domain feature vector. Third, a cross-attention mechanism is used to align and weight fuse the frequency domain and time domain features to generate a fused feature vector. Finally, the fused feature is input into a fully connected classification layer to output a probability distribution vector containing four states of normal, early leakage, moderate leakage and burst, which serves as the basis for online monitoring and positioning triggering.

[0055] S4. Precise positioning of sound source combined with three-dimensional temperature field correction and online monitoring: This step first monitors the total probability of leakage in the probability distribution vector in real time. When it exceeds a preset threshold in consecutive time, an alarm is triggered and the current time window data is locked. Second, at least four nodes are selected from the deployed sensor array to participate in positioning, and multiple node pairs are constructed by combining the nodes in pairs. The generalized cross-correlation phase transform algorithm is used to process the enhanced leakage signal in the locked time window to extract the measured time difference of arrival of each node pair for joint solution. Third, the real-time temperature field data of the furnace is introduced and converted into a non-uniform three-dimensional sound speed grid model. The ray tracing method is used to calculate the propagation time of sound waves in the non-uniform medium to obtain the model predicted time difference of arrival of each node pair. Finally, a nonlinear residual error objective function is constructed between the measured time difference of arrival and the model predicted time difference of arrival, and a particle swarm algorithm is used to search for the solution that minimizes the residual error in the candidate space range. The three-dimensional position coordinates of the leakage source are inverted and output.

[0056] The specific implementation of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0057] S1, high-fidelity wave field acquisition and signal preprocessing of high-temperature-resistant acoustic array in furnace

[0058] First, the high-temperature-resistant array hardware layout and acquisition parameters are defined. In order to balance the coverage of the whole space of the furnace and the geometric accuracy of the sound source positioning, the system adopts a distributed topology layout scheme, with 16 acoustic sensor arrays evenly deployed at different elevations on the front wall, rear wall, left wall and right wall of the boiler. For the high-temperature environment of more than 1000°C inside the furnace, a piezoelectric ceramic sensor equipped with an austenitic stainless steel waveguide with a length of 800mm is selected. The waveguide is fixed to the outside of the furnace wall by a flange and extends through the insulation layer to the inner wall of the furnace, and is specially responsible for picking up the high-frequency jet noise generated by the pipe wall rupture.

[0059] The analog voltage signals output from all acoustic wave sensor arrays and piezoelectric ceramic sensors are conditioned by a low-noise preamplifier with a gain of 60dB, and then transmitted to a high-speed synchronous data acquisition card with a sampling frequency of 50,000Hz for multi-channel synchronous sampling. This sampling frequency is set to ensure that the effective high-frequency components up to 20,000Hz in the leakage signal can be completely captured. According to the Nyquist sampling theorem, the sampling frequency must be greater than twice the highest frequency of the signal to avoid aliasing distortion. Given the upper limit of the frequency band of interest in this system (20,000Hz), the theoretical lower limit of sampling is 40,000Hz. The 50,000Hz sampling rate selected in this embodiment provides a redundancy safety margin, thereby physically ensuring the integrity and reconfigurability of the original wavefield information.

[0060] The high-speed synchronous data acquisition card performs analog-to-digital conversion on the conditioned analog voltage signals of each channel to obtain the discrete voltage time sequence for each channel. In this embodiment, the sensor array includes 16 high-temperature resistant acoustic wave sensors and 1 piezoelectric ceramic sensor equipped with a waveguide, for a total of 17 sensors corresponding to 17 acquisition channels. Therefore, the total number of channels is taken as... Record the first The discrete voltage sequence of each acquisition channel is as follows ,in , Indicates the channel number. , To record the number of sampling points within the window. Furthermore, when At that time, the first The channel corresponds to the first A high-temperature resistant acoustic wave sensor; when At that time, the 17th channel corresponds to the piezoelectric ceramic sensor.

[0061] To obtain the sound pressure time history data for each channel, the voltage-sound pressure sensitivity coefficient was based on the sensor's factory calibration. (Unit is) ), to the discrete voltage sequence Converted to discrete sound pressure sequence and satisfy The discrete sound pressure sequences of all channels are concatenated in channel order to generate the original acoustic observation vector. .

[0062] To address the electromagnetic interference and low-frequency combustion noise present in the furnace environment, an infinite impulse response bandpass filter is used to filter the... Preprocessing was performed, with the passband range set to 1000Hz to 20000Hz to filter out 50Hz power frequency interference and low-frequency combustion noise. Obtained by bandpass filtering .in, This refers to the one-dimensional preprocessed acoustic time history signal used for VMD decomposition within the locked time window; subsequent steps all use this signal. For input.

[0063] S2. Signal enhancement method based on improved sparrow search algorithm

[0064] The process is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, taking the acoustic time-history signal as input, a parameter optimization model is first established with the goal of minimizing the average envelope entropy. Secondly, an improved sparrow search algorithm incorporating chaotic mapping and Cauchy mutation is used to iteratively search within the parameter space, outputting the optimal number of modes and the optimal penalty factor for variational mode decomposition. Thirdly, the acoustic time-history signal is decomposed using the optimal parameters to obtain several intrinsic mode components, and the correlation coefficient and kurtosis of each component are calculated. Finally, effective modes that meet the threshold conditions are selected and linearly superimposed to reconstruct the signal, outputting an enhanced leakage signal.

[0065] (1) Establish the VMD parameter adaptive optimization objective:

[0066] The preprocessed acoustic signal vector output by S1 is uniformly denoted as... Variational mode decomposition (VMD) is used to... When performing decomposition, two key parameters need to be determined: the number of modes. With penalty factor Since leakage signals typically exhibit sparse impulsive characteristics, while background noise is closer to a high-entropy random process, this embodiment uses the envelope entropy of each modal component obtained from VMD decomposition as an evaluation index: The first... The envelope entropy of each modal component is denoted as... and with average envelope entropy (for all) The average value is used as a fitness index for the Sparrow Search algorithm, which makes it more likely to obtain parameter combinations that highlight the impact structure and suppress random noise during the parameter search process.

[0067] (2) Improved Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA) Initialization and Parameter Mapping:

[0068] To obtain the optimal parameter combination globally, an improved sparrow search algorithm is adopted. To improve the initial population diversity, a Logistic chaotic mapping is introduced in the initialization phase to obtain the initial sparrow positions. ,in , ;

[0069] Using the first dimension component For the number of modes Encode it and map it to a preset integer range. For example, using ; Utilizing the second dimension component For the penalty factor Encode the values ​​and map them to a preset real number range. For example, using ;

[0070] Therefore, the sparrow's position The corresponding meaning is: to A set of candidate solutions for performing VMD decomposition Furthermore, to avoid the search getting trapped in local optima, Cauchy mutation is introduced during the individual position update process: that is, in the updated parameter combination... A random perturbation is applied to the parameter space to allow the search to escape local minima. The algorithm iteratively searches within the parameter space to ultimately obtain the fitness index. The minimum optimal parameters are denoted as follows: and .

[0071] (3) Perform VMD decomposition using optimal parameters:

[0072] Use optimal parameters and right Perform VMD decomposition, Decomposition The intrinsic mode components. Each modal component is denoted as... And at the same time, its corresponding center frequency is obtained, denoted as . ,Right now For the first Modal center angular frequency.

[0073] (4) Modal screening and leakage signal reconstruction:

[0074] After obtaining each modal component Subsequently, to select modes more likely to contain leakage impact components, two types of indices were calculated:

[0075] No. Modal components and correlation coefficient The larger the correlation coefficient, the more consistent the main changes of the mode are with the original signal;

[0076] No. Modal components cliff The greater the kurtosis, the more likely the mode is to contain sparse impact components of leakage acoustic emission.

[0077] Select those that simultaneously satisfy and The modes are taken as the effective leakage mode set, denoted as S. If S is empty (i.e., no mode simultaneously meets the threshold condition), a fallback strategy is adopted: a comprehensive score is calculated for each mode (the comprehensive score is calculated by taking the comprehensive score of each mode as the threshold condition). and (After normalization and weighting), select the top scorers. The modalities constitute a set S to ensure the stability and executable nature of the process. The correlation coefficient threshold is denoted as... ,set up ; kurtosis threshold is denoted as ,set up .

[0078] Finally, the enhanced leakage signal is obtained by linearly superimposing and reconstructing the modal components in set S, and is uniformly denoted as . Specifically, the linear superposition reconstruction process involves adding the modes in set S point by point along the same time axis. Through the joint screening and reconstruction of correlation and impact mentioned above, steady-state combustion noise and low-frequency airflow interference can be effectively suppressed, while retaining the abrupt acoustic signature features induced by leakage, thereby providing input data with a higher signal-to-noise ratio for subsequent deep learning models.

[0079] S3. Construct a dual-stream spatiotemporal attention fusion neural network to achieve feature fusion and boiler leak type identification.

[0080] Two-stream spatiotemporal attention fusion neural network structure such as Figure 3 As shown, taking the enhanced leakage signal as input, firstly, a short-time Fourier transform is performed on the enhanced leakage signal in the frequency domain branch to generate a two-dimensional time-frequency spectrum, and the frequency domain feature vector is extracted through a convolutional neural network; secondly, 12 physical statistical features of the enhanced leakage signal are calculated in the time domain branch and a time domain feature sequence matrix is ​​constructed, which is then input into a bidirectional long short-time memory network to extract the time domain feature vector; thirdly, a cross-attention mechanism is used to align and weight the frequency domain and time domain features to generate a fused feature vector; finally, the fused features are input into a fully connected classification layer, and the output is a probability distribution vector containing four states: normal, early leakage, moderate leakage, and pipe burst.

[0081] (1) Constructing the frequency domain feature extraction branch: for the output of S2 A short-time Fourier transform with a window length of 256 and an overlap rate of 50% is performed to generate a two-dimensional time-frequency spectrum reflecting the distribution of signal energy over time and frequency, which is defined as the input tensor. .Will The input is fed into a feature extraction network containing four cascaded convolutional blocks. Each convolutional block contains a convolutional layer, a batch normalization layer, and a ReLU activation layer. The convolutional operation extracts local texture features through a learnable filter bank, mathematically expressed as:

[0082] ;

[0083] in This is the weight matrix. For bias terms, Representing the The feature map tensor output by the convolution operation. This represents the input feature map of the previous layer. This represents the linear rectified activation function. After feature extraction in the fourth convolutional block, a feature map containing high-level semantic information is obtained. .

[0084] To reduce dimensionality while preserving key features, Perform a global average pooling operation to calculate the average response value of each channel in the spatial dimension, generating a frequency domain feature vector. This vector highly condenses the broadband energy distribution pattern of the leakage signal in the frequency domain.

[0085] (2) Constructing the temporal feature extraction branch: for the output of S2 A full-dimensional time-domain statistical analysis was performed, calculating a total of 12 physical statistical characteristics of the signal, including mean, root mean square, variance, standard deviation, peak value, peak-to-peak value, rectified average, skewness, kurtosis, waveform factor, impulse factor, and margin factor. These characteristics quantified the dynamic patterns of the leakage signal from four dimensions: central tendency, dispersion, distribution pattern, and impulse characteristics.

[0086] The 12-dimensional feature data obtained from the above calculations are stacked in chronological order to construct a time-domain feature sequence matrix with a time step of 50. The sequence is then input into a bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) network. This network utilizes a gating mechanism to address the long sequence dependency problem, for each time step... The forward layer calculates the hidden state. Backward layer calculates hidden states The hidden states from the two directions are concatenated to obtain the combined state vector at that moment. Extract the output of the last time step as the temporal feature vector. This vector physically fully characterizes the dynamic impact law and statistical distribution characteristics of the leakage signal as it evolves over time.

[0087] (3) In order to make full use of the complementarity between time domain and frequency domain information, this embodiment designs a cross-attention feature fusion module: firstly, the time domain feature vector is fused with the frequency domain information. A fully connected layer is used to map to 512 dimensions to achieve the same effect as the frequency domain feature vector. Dimensional alignment yields aligned temporal features. ; then with As a query vector, As the key vector (Key) and the value vector (Value), the cross-attention weight matrix is calculated , which is used to quantify the attention degree of the frequency domain features to each component of the time domain features in fusion, The calculation formula is:

[0088] ;

[0089] Among them is a scaling factor (corresponding to the dimension of the key vector) to stabilize the attention distribution; further multiply the weight matrix with the value vector and introduce the residual connection to obtain the fusion feature vector , specifically:

[0094] (1) Real-time leakage state discrimination and alarm triggering:

[0095] During online monitoring, the controller reads the four-class probability vector output by step S3 at a fixed time step , wherein represents the probability of the normal state, , , respectively represent the probabilities of early leakage, moderate leakage and burst pipe state. In order to avoid inconsistent judgments caused by jumps between early / moderate / burst pipe three categories, the probabilities of the three leakage related categories are combined into the total leakage probability , wherein . When is greater than the preset safety threshold 0.85 (i.e. always satisfies >0.85 in the 3-second continuous discrimination window), the system determines that a leakage event is occurring, immediately triggers a level one sound and light alarm, and automatically locks the acoustic data in the time window, and starts the positioning program.

[0096] (2) Sensor node and position information calling:

[0097] The positioning phase selects a set of sensor nodes for positioning from the deployed acoustic / piezoelectric sensor array, denoted as wherein denotes the sensor node participating in positioning. To ensure the reproducibility of positioning, the spatial coordinates of each sensor node are recorded when the system is deployed, denoted as the coordinates of the node are recorded and stored in the controller; the coordinate information is directly called to participate in the calculation during positioning.

[0098] In addition, to improve the stability of three-dimensional positioning, the embodiment preferably selects no less than 4 nodes from the deployed sensors to participate in positioning, denoted as On this basis, a plurality of node pairs are constructed from for obtaining time difference of arrival observations, denoted as wherein any denotes a node pair consisting of the node and the node selected from the no less than 4 nodes; by jointly solving the time delay observations of the plurality of node pairs in , three-dimensional positioning is achieved, rather than relying on the positioning of any two nodes alone.

[0099] (3) Time difference of arrival extraction based on GCC-PHAT:

[0100] For each node participating in positioning , its enhanced time history signal is intercepted within a lock time window, denoted as .Wherein the superscript denotes the lock time window, , denotes the sampling point number in the window, is the number of sampling points in the time window; the enhanced leakage signal output by step S2 is taken out at the node and windowed to obtain.

For any pair of nodes , the generalized cross-correlation phase transform algorithm (GCC-PHAT) is used to calculate the cross-correlation function of the signals corresponding to the node and the node :Specifically, the algorithm constructs the cross-power spectrum and amplitude normalization, and then transform back to time delay domain to get , so as to suppress the interference of reverberation and amplitude fluctuation on time delay estimation. Wherein represents the complex conjugate.

[0102] Finally, the time delay where the peak of is located is taken as the measured time difference of arrival, denoted as (through searching to make maximum). ).

[0103] (4) Introduce three-dimensional temperature field and construct sound speed grid:

[0104] Considering that the temperature distribution inside the furnace is uneven (for example, the combustion core area can reach about 1500°C, and the water wall area is about 400°C), if the constant temperature sound speed is directly used, it will cause significant positioning error, therefore, the real-time temperature field data of the furnace is introduced to correct the sound speed. The temperature field data is provided by the existing temperature monitoring system of the furnace in real time, and is interpolated / grided in space to form a three-dimensional temperature grid with a resolution of 0.5m. Then, according to the thermodynamic relationship, the temperature field is converted to the sound speed field:

The local sound speed is calculated for each grid point, so as to obtain a three-dimensional sound speed grid model for subsequent propagation time modeling.

[0113] In summary, after the multi-channel acoustic signals are collected and preprocessed by S1 and enhanced by S2, the deep learning model of S3 is used to output Realize the online judgment of boiler heating surface pipe wall leakage; When the total probability of leakage Trigger threshold condition, the system automatically locks the abnormal period and completes the three-dimensional positioning combined with the temperature field corrected propagation time model, so as to obtain the specific abnormal position in the furnace , Provide basis for maintenance decision and rapid disposal.

[0114] Experimental analysis:

[0115] In order to comprehensively verify the effectiveness and reliability of the boiler heating surface tube wall leakage detection method based on adaptive modal decomposition and spatio-temporal attention fusion network proposed in the present application, a set of high-fidelity boiler leakage acoustic simulation experiment platform is constructed in the present embodiment. The platform is built based on the 1:10 scale of the furnace geometry of a 600 MW supercritical coal-fired unit, and the hardware system includes 16 high-temperature sound wave sensors and 1 piezoelectric ceramic sensor, a multi-channel high-speed data acquisition card, and a heating device simulating the high-temperature environment of the furnace. The experimental objects cover the key heating surface areas such as water wall, superheater and reheater, and simulate the micro leakage of different aperture from 0.5mm to 5.0mm and the complex working conditions of background noise intensity from 80dB to 110dB. A total of 10000 test data are collected, and the three core indicators of signal enhancement ability in strong noise background, intelligent recognition accuracy of different leakage degrees and accuracy of three-dimensional space sound source positioning are evaluated.

[0116] 1. Weak leakage signal enhancement experiment analysis under strong noise background

[0117] The present experiment aims to quantitatively evaluate the ability of the improved sparrow search algorithm optimized variational modal decomposition technology to extract weak leakage features in low signal-to-noise ratio environment. The test set selects extreme working condition samples with background noise intensity up to 105dB and leakage sound intensity of only 90dB, at this time the signal-to-noise ratio is -15dB, and the leakage feature is completely submerged by combustion and airflow noise. We compare the adaptive signal processing method proposed in the present application with the traditional band-pass filtering method and the fixed parameter variational modal decomposition method, and calculate the kurtosis value and signal-to-noise ratio gain of the processed signal.

[0118] As shown in the original signal and adaptive enhanced signal time domain waveform comparison chart shown in Figure 4 , the gray curve in the figure represents the original strong noise signal collected on site, and the red solid line represents the reconstructed signal after processing by the method of the present application. The experimental waveform clearly shows the denoising effect of different methods. In the original signal, the impact component generated by the leakage is completely covered by the high-amplitude random noise and cannot be identified by the naked eye or simple threshold. After processing by the method of the present application, the low-frequency combustion noise and high-frequency electromagnetic interference in the background are effectively stripped, and the periodic impact feature caused by the leakage is significantly preserved and enhanced. The data statistics show that the output signal-to-noise ratio of the present application is improved by 18.5dB compared with the original signal, and the kurtosis value is improved from 2.4 to 8.9, proving the excellent extraction ability of the algorithm for weak fault features in strong interference environment.

[0119] 2. Multi-stage leakage state intelligent diagnosis precision comparison experiment analysis

[0120] The experiment focuses on the classification performance of the dual-flow space-time attention fusion network in distinguishing between normal operation, early micro leakage, moderate leakage and severe pipe burst. The experiment selects 2000 test samples, including early pinhole leakage samples (hole diameter less than 1mm) that are difficult to distinguish. Under the same test conditions, the dual-flow fusion network proposed in the application, the single convolutional neural network and the long short-term memory network are respectively run, and the performance of different models on the confusion matrix is recorded.

[0121] As Figure 5 shown in the confusion matrix heat map of the dual-flow fusion network fault diagnosis of the application, the horizontal axis represents the predicted class, the vertical axis represents the true class, and the value on the diagonal line represents the classification accuracy. The single modal network model performs poorly in processing early micro leakage, with an accuracy rate of less than 75%, and is easily mistaken for early leakage as background noise fluctuation. In contrast, the experimental results show that the dual-flow fusion network proposed in the application exhibits high diagnostic accuracy, with an overall recognition accuracy of 93.5%. Especially in the most challenging early micro leakage class, thanks to the deep mining of cross-attention mechanism for time-frequency domain complementary features, the model can sensitively capture the weak high-frequency jet soundprint, and the recognition accuracy remains above 87.6%. This proves that the application can effectively overcome the problem of insufficient single feature expression ability, and significantly reduce the false negative rate.

[0122] 3. Sound source positioning accuracy experiment analysis based on temperature field correction

[0123] The experiment aims to verify the actual effect of introducing the furnace temperature field correction model on improving the sound source positioning accuracy. The experiment sets 5 simulated leakage points with known coordinates, which are located in the center of the front wall, the corner area and the burner of the furnace. A non-uniform temperature field is established inside the furnace, with a temperature distribution range from 400 degrees Celsius to 1200 degrees Celsius. The experiment compares two positioning strategies: the traditional positioning method based on constant sound speed (340m / s) and the positioning method based on real-time temperature field correction proposed in the application.

[0124] As Figure 6The three-dimensional positioning error space distribution of the sound source is shown, the blue scattered points in the figure represent the positioning results of the traditional method, the red pentagram represents the positioning results of the method of the application, and the black cross represents the true leak source position. Experimental data show that the positioning results of the traditional method show significant systematic deviation due to the neglect of the change of the propagation speed of sound waves in the high-temperature non-uniform medium, the average positioning error is as high as 2.3m, and the error is further expanded to 3.5m in the burner area with large temperature gradient. On the contrary, the method of the application accurately compensates the propagation time delay by dividing the furnace into a high-resolution sound velocity grid, and the positioning results are closely gathered around the real sound source, and the average positioning error is reduced to 0.42m. The results confirm the effectiveness of the nonlinear positioning equation set constructed in step S4, and realize sub-m level accurate positioning sufficient to guide the maintenance personnel to quickly lock the fault point.
