Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent operation and maintenance technology for equipment, and in particular to a fault analysis system and method for marine equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of ship operation and maintenance, traditional fault analysis methods generally rely on manual inspections or post-shutdown checks, making it difficult to perform real-time and accurate correlation diagnosis of the operating status of multiple devices. While some existing technologies attempt to introduce sensor networks and deep learning models for fault prediction, their data acquisition cannot fully consider the low-frequency vibration interference unique to ships, resulting in raw signals mixed with motion noise such as roll and pitch. Furthermore, fault diagnosis models typically employ fixed parameter structures, failing to dynamically adjust feature extraction and modeling strategies based on equipment state evolution. This leads to the neglect of latent fault characteristics (such as early pump wear and valve micro-jamming), and makes it difficult to effectively model the propagation patterns of coupled faults between multiple devices. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fault analysis system that can integrate the characteristics of the ship's operating environment, achieve collaborative perception of multi-physics states, and drive adaptive optimization of the model through dynamic parameters, in order to overcome the bottlenecks of existing technologies in early warning capabilities and system-level diagnostic accuracy.

[0048] For illustrative and not limiting purposes, the present invention will now be described in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, wherein:

[0049] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the component modules of the ship equipment fault analysis system in an embodiment of the present invention;

[0050] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the fault analysis method for ship equipment in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0051] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0052] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0053] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] refer to Figure 1 This embodiment discloses a fault analysis system for ship equipment, including a multi-source sensing synchronization module 21, a multiphysics modeling module 22, an adaptive diagnostic analysis module 23, and a predictive decision-making module 24, which are described in detail below:

[0055] The multi-source sensor synchronization module 21 is deployed in the ship's equipment and is configured to synchronize the operating data of multiple devices through a hardware phase-locked loop mechanism.

[0056] In this embodiment, the multi-source sensor synchronization module 21 is deployed at the operational nodes of key ship equipment, exemplarily including the propulsion shaft bearing housing, generator stator housing, hydraulic pump inlet and outlet pipelines, and the surface of the cooling system heat exchanger. The multi-source sensor synchronization module 21 achieves high-precision phase synchronization of operating data from multiple devices through a hardware phase-locked loop mechanism, thereby eliminating interference from low-frequency vibrations of 0.1–2Hz caused by roll, pitch, and other movements during ship navigation on the original sensor signals.

[0057] Specifically, the multi-source sensor synchronization module includes a sensor deployment unit 211, a phase measurement unit 212, a phase-locked control unit 213, and an environment adaptation unit 214. The sensor deployment unit 211 is equipped with vibration sensors, pressure sensors, temperature sensors, flow sensors, and ship motion attitude sensors, which are respectively installed at the aforementioned device nodes to synchronously acquire raw signals at a sampling rate of 100Hz. ,in The total number of sensors, It is a continuous-time variable.

[0058] Furthermore, due to the periodic low-frequency disturbances generated when the ship navigates in waves, the physical differences in the physical positions of each sensor cause phase shifts in the acquired signals. Therefore, the phase measurement unit 212 detects the phase shift of each channel signal in real time within the 0.1–2Hz frequency band. Its calculation is based on the dominant frequency phase extracted by the short-time Fourier transform (STFT): ,in, This represents the Fourier transform operator. This indicates taking the complex phase angle. For frequency variables.

[0059] Phase-locked control unit 213 receives all A hardware-level synchronous clock signal is generated, and dynamic phase compensation is applied to each acquisition channel through a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) to ensure that the compensated signal satisfies the following: ,in, The average phase offset is given by the formula. The 0.1° accuracy threshold is derived from the critical point of the first-order bending mode resonance of the ship's piping system. Simulations show that when the phase error exceeds this value, the stress field reconstruction error will increase sharply, leading to the failure of subsequent fault feature extraction.

[0060] Furthermore, the environment adaptive unit 214 is coupled to the ship's motion attitude sensor to acquire the roll frequency in real time. With surge intensity Based on this, the synchronization accuracy threshold of the phase-locked control unit 213 is dynamically adjusted. : This setting helps avoid accidents in high sea states, such as... or The vibration coupling between equipment is enhanced, and the characteristic frequency aliasing caused by small phase mismatch is also improved. In actual ship tests, the signal-to-noise ratio of the pump body wear characteristic frequency can be improved by 13dB in sea state 6 using a 0.05° threshold, which significantly improves the detectability of latent faults.

[0061] It is evident that by employing a hardware phase-locked loop mechanism and an environmental adaptive strategy, strict temporal consistency of multi-source data can be ensured under the unique low-frequency vibration environment of ships, providing high-fidelity input for subsequent multiphysics modeling and adaptive diagnosis. This effectively solves the problems of feature distortion and misjudgment caused by signal loss of synchronization in traditional methods.

[0062] The multiphysics modeling module 22 is coupled to the multi-source sensing synchronization module and is configured to construct a virtual state field of devices based on the multi-device operation data after phase synchronization, and generate dynamic parameters characterizing the temporal misscheduling of the multi-device state.

[0063] In this embodiment, the multiphysics modeling module 22 is coupled to the multi-source sensing synchronization module 21 to receive the phase-synchronized multi-device operating data output by the module. ,in Indicates the first The timing signals of the sensors corresponding to each device are obtained after phase compensation. The multiphysics modeling module 22, based on the physical topology of the ship's equipment, constructs a coupled virtual state field that integrates mechanical vibration, fluid pressure, and thermodynamic fields, and generates dynamic parameters characterizing system-level state timing misalignment. Specifically, the multiphysics modeling module 22 includes a multidimensional data fusion unit 221, a virtual field construction unit 222, a dynamic parameter generation unit 223, and an environmental attenuation compensation unit 224. The multidimensional data fusion unit 221 first... Grouping and processing: Vibration signals Pressure signals Temperature signals and flow signals Energy distribution features are extracted using wavelet packet decomposition to generate a multidimensional feature matrix of the device state. ,in This represents the number of device nodes. For feature dimensions.

[0064] Virtual field construction unit 222 is based on the ship's equipment compartment layout diagram and material properties, and will... Mapped to a virtual state field with three fields coupled:

[0065] Mechanical vibration field : Indicates spatial location Equivalent stress at the location;

[0066] Fluid pressure field : Indicates the static pressure distribution of fluid within the pipeline;

[0067] Thermodynamic field : Represents the temperature gradient field on the surface of the device.

[0068] These three elements together constitute a coupled virtual state field. .

[0069] The dynamic parameter generation unit 223 calculates the temporal misalignment between the current state field and the healthy baseline state field. Let the environmentally calibrated baseline distribution under healthy conditions be... ,in Given the initial environmental attenuation factor, the dynamic parameters are... Defined as: ,in, This is the real-time environmental attenuation factor. Let the logarithm function be base 2, summing over all device node positions. This design effectively quantifies the distribution shift of multiphysics in temporal evolution; for example, when the device is healthy. Therefore When early anomalies occur (such as micro-leakage in pipelines), asynchronous shifts occur in the multi-field distribution. Significantly increased.

[0070] Environmental degradation compensation unit 224 dynamically updates according to the ship's operating environment. Let the salinity of seawater be... The cumulative exposure time of the device is The energy of the main frequency of the ship's vibration spectrum is ,but: ,in , and This represents the material-related attenuation coefficient. This exponential attenuation model originates from accelerated aging experiments on actual ships. Tests have shown that in a salt spray environment, the damping characteristics of cast iron pipelines increase with... and The increase in amplitude and the decrease in attenuation lead to a reduction in the stress response amplitude under the same fault condition. Without compensation, this will result in… underestimate.

[0071] In summary, this implementation constructs a virtual state field with three coupled fields and introduces dynamic parameters that are adaptive to the environment. This design not only captures anomalies in individual devices but also reflects the collaborative imbalance caused by the physical connection of multiple devices. Real-world ship verification shows that on bulk carriers, this design enables early identification of micro-leakage faults to be reduced to 82 hours, and maintains a diagnostic accuracy rate of over 94% even after 12 months of salt spray exposure. This effectively solves the problem of condition assessment bias caused by traditional solutions neglecting environmental degradation and multi-field coupling.

[0072] The adaptive diagnostic analysis module 23 includes a deep learning fault analysis model. The implicit feature extraction parameters and fault evolution time series modeling parameters of the deep learning fault analysis model are adaptively adjusted in real time according to the dynamic parameters to output system-level fault characterization parameters.

[0073] The adaptive diagnostic analysis module 23 is coupled to the multiphysics modeling module 22 and receives the dynamic parameters output by it. The system adjusts the internal structure of the deep learning fault analysis model in real time based on these parameters to accurately extract the latent fault characteristics of ship equipment in complex marine environments and model the evolution of multi-factor coupled faults. The adaptive diagnostic analysis module 23 includes a model initialization unit 231, a ship characteristic parameter tuning unit 232, a cross-equipment feature fusion unit 233, and a system characterization generation unit 234.

[0074] Specifically, model initialization unit 231 loads a pre-trained deep learning fault analysis model, whose basic architecture is a fusion structure of convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory network (LSTM). The input is a multi-dimensional feature matrix after phase synchronization. Three-dimensional tensors formed by stacking along the time dimension ,in, The time window length, Let be the total number of device nodes, and d be the multiphysics feature dimension of each node. The output is the system-level fault characterization parameters. ,in, These are the dimensions used to represent the severity of the fault, the propagation trend, etc.

[0075] Ship characteristic parameter tuning unit 232 according to dynamic parameters Real-time adjustment of key hyperparameters of the model. First, calculate the adjustment amount of the convolution kernel center frequency. : ,in For the ship's vibration intensity coefficient, The activation threshold for the characteristic frequency. The function is the hyperbolic tangent. The adjusted center frequency of the convolution kernel is... ,in This serves as a reference frequency for typical fault characteristics of the equipment under health conditions. Through this design, when... If the frequency is too high, it indicates an early anomaly in the system, and the CNN should be focused on harmonic components near the reference frequency of typical fault characteristics; otherwise, the frequency band should be suppressed to avoid false triggering of roll interference. Secondly, the slope of the dynamic parameters' change in the time dimension is calculated. : ,in This represents the sliding window step size. Based on... Determine the depth of LSTM memory cells : Therefore, it can be seen that a low slope corresponds to steady-state fluctuations, and a shallow LSTM is sufficient to model short-term dependencies; a high slope reflects progressive faults (such as the exponential growth of micro-leakage apertures), requiring a deep LSTM to capture long-term evolution patterns. In actual tests on bulk carriers, this mechanism reduced the leakage rate prediction error from ±18.3 hours to ±4.1 hours.

[0076] The cross-device feature fusion unit 233 receives the adjusted CNN-LSTM model output and extracts the latent fault feature vectors of each device node in the 0.1–2Hz vibration frequency band. And a spatiotemporal evolution diagram is constructed based on the physical connection topology of ships. , where the set of nodes For N devices, Let be the set of edges, and the edges Indicates device With equipment At any moment State interaction strength, and use edge weights Quantify this intensity, that is Furthermore, a spatiotemporal attention mechanism is used to aggregate neighborhood information and generate fused features. .

[0077] System characterization generation unit 234 will The parameters are concatenated and mapped to system-level fault characterization parameters via a fully connected layer. ,in Characterizes the severity of system failures. Characterize the trend of cross-device influence propagation.

[0078] In summary, this implementation method utilizes dynamic parameters. The adaptive reconstruction of CNN and LSTM enables the model to focus on ship-specific fault frequencies and accurately track evolution patterns. Real-world ship validation shows that in coupled fault scenarios, this design improves root cause localization accuracy from 60.4% to 89.7% and advances the early warning time for micro-leaks to 82 hours, effectively solving the problems of inaccurate feature extraction and temporal modeling failure of traditional fixed-parameter models in dynamic ship environments.

[0079] The predictive decision module 24, coupled to the adaptive diagnostic analysis module 23, is configured to generate decision information including fault development trend prediction and preventive maintenance windows based on the system-level fault characterization parameters. The predictive decision module 24, coupled to the adaptive diagnostic analysis module 23, receives the system-level fault characterization parameters output by the module. It integrates ship operation plans and environmental data to generate structured decision information that includes fault development trend prediction and preventive maintenance windows. The predictive decision module 24 includes a trend quantification unit 241, a ship operation plan fusion unit 242, a decision generation unit 243, and an accuracy feedback unit 244.

[0080] Specifically, the trend quantification unit 241 is based on Construct a physical evolution model of the failure. Assume the remaining safe operating time (RUL) of the equipment is... The rate of increase in fault severity is The two satisfy a differential relationship:

[0081] , ,in This is the preset fault threshold. To solve this integral, the exponential decay assumption is used. Modeling: ,in The initial growth rate, This is the propagation sensitivity coefficient. Since multi-equipment coupled failures in ships often exhibit accelerated deterioration characteristics, such as micro-leakage leading to oil temperature rise, which in turn exacerbates valve group wear, the exponential form of this design can effectively fit such nonlinear evolution patterns.

[0082] The vessel operation planning fusion unit 242 is coupled to the Automatic Identification System (AIS) to obtain berthing plans in real time. (Arrival time at the next port), sailing phase (Transoceanic / Nearshore / Anchorage) and Sea State Data (e.g., wave height, wind speed). Based on this, the rate of increase in fault severity is dynamically adjusted: Among them, the correction factor Defined as: This avoids the equipment being subjected to additional dynamic loads under high sea states, which could accelerate fault evolution; while when the system is at rest, the load is low, and the evolution is slower. By introducing an operational plan, the predicted results are closely coupled with the actual operation and maintenance scenario, avoiding giving unrealistic maintenance suggestions during transoceanic voyages.

[0083] Decision generation unit 243 based on the modified Recalculate the RUL and generate structured decision information:

[0084] Fault location topology diagram: Based on the ship's equipment physical connection diagram, highlighted The largest device node;

[0085] Root cause probability distribution: Location of the pair via backpropagation The original sensor features that contribute the most are the output probability vectors. ;

[0086] Cross-device impact propagation chain: Extracting the spatiotemporal evolution diagram Medium weight The edges form a directed path, where, The preset threshold for the intensity of the influence;

[0087] Preventive maintenance time window: defined as ,in , To ensure that repairs are completed before the fault becomes critical, among other things, The earliest time to recommend starting maintenance preparations. The latest deadline for completing the repair.

[0088] The accuracy feedback unit 244 compares the actual maintenance verification results with the predicted RUL and calculates the relative error. ,in, This refers to the actual failure time, i.e., the actual maintenance verification result. For example, when a hydraulic system experiences a failure due to micro-leakage, it becomes a fault characterization parameter. The time when the preset critical value of 1.0 is reached at 154 hours is defined as the failure time. This indicates that the system has entered a state requiring repair, rather than a point of physical damage resulting in complete equipment failure. When At that time, the environmental degradation factor of the environmental degradation compensation unit is triggered. Correction: ,in The learning rate is used. Therefore, during long-term operation, the material aging model may drift due to deviations in actual operating conditions. Dynamic calibration based on maintenance feedback can maintain the long-term stability of the system's predictive accuracy.

[0089] In summary, this implementation method constructs a system with dynamic parameters. A closed-loop fault analysis system based on coupling factors enables high-precision, system-level predictive diagnosis of early-stage faults in multiple ship equipment. First, the multi-source sensor synchronization module 21 utilizes a hardware phase-locked loop mechanism to achieve ±0.1° phase synchronization in a low-frequency vibration environment of 0.1–2Hz, effectively suppressing ship motion noise. Second, the multiphysics modeling module 22 integrates mechanical, fluid, and thermodynamic fields, introducing an environmental attenuation factor. Dynamically compensate for the effects of seawater corrosion and vibration, and generate dynamic parameters characterizing the system's state misalignment. Furthermore, the adaptive diagnostic analysis module, based on... By adjusting the convolution kernel center frequency and LSTM memory depth of the deep learning model in real time, latent fault features are accurately extracted and the spatiotemporal evolution of coupled faults is modeled. Finally, the predictive decision module combines ship operation plans and maintenance feedback to dynamically correct the fault evolution model and generate decision information including maintenance windows, forming a complete technology chain from data acquisition to closed-loop optimization. Real-ship verification shows that this solution advances the early warning time for micro-leaks and other early faults to more than 82 hours, improves the accuracy of coupled fault root cause localization to 89.7%, and maintains a prediction error of less than 5% in long-term salt spray environments. This effectively avoids the problems of diagnostic lag, low accuracy, and insufficient correlation analysis caused by environmental interference, model rigidity, and data fragmentation.

[0090] refer to Figure 2 This embodiment further discloses a fault analysis method for ship equipment, including the following steps:

[0091] S100: Synchronizes the phase of operating data from multiple devices through a hardware phase-locked loop mechanism.

[0092] Specifically, vibration, pressure, temperature, flow rate, and ship motion attitude sensors are deployed at equipment nodes in the ship's propulsion system, generator set, hydraulic system, and cooling system to collect raw signals at a sampling rate of 100Hz. Since the ship operates in a low-frequency vibration environment (such as roll and pitch) of 0.1–2Hz, phase shifts occur in each sensor due to differences in their physical locations. Therefore, a hardware phase-locked loop (PLL) is used to detect the phase shift of each channel in the 0.1–2Hz frequency band in real time. Furthermore, a synchronous clock signal is generated by a digitally controlled oscillator for dynamic compensation, ensuring that the phase error of all channels meets the requirements. ,in This represents the average phase offset. This synchronization accuracy originates from the resonant critical point of the first-order bending mode of the ship's pipeline, effectively eliminating the interference of motion noise on subsequent analysis.

[0093] S200: Construct a virtual state field for devices based on the multi-device operation data after phase synchronization, and generate dynamic parameters that characterize the temporal misscheduling of the multi-device states.

[0094] Specifically, the phase-synchronized multidimensional data is grouped by device node, and the energy features of vibration, pressure, temperature, and flow are extracted through wavelet packet decomposition to form a multidimensional feature matrix of device status. Based on the physical topology of the ship equipment, a fused mechanical vibration field is constructed. Fluid pressure field With thermodynamic field Coupled virtual state field Introducing an environmental degradation factor For the health baseline field Perform dynamic correction. Calculate the information entropy shift between the current state field and the corrected reference field to generate dynamic parameters: This parameter can effectively quantify the coordinated misscheduling caused by physical connections among multiple devices. A normal value indicates a healthy system, while a significant increase indicates an early abnormality.

[0095] S300: Based on the dynamic parameters, the implicit feature extraction parameters and fault evolution time series modeling parameters of the fault analysis model are adaptively adjusted in real time to output system-level fault characterization parameters.
