[0002] As key equipment in industries such as energy, petrochemicals, and metallurgy, the operating status of burners directly affects production safety, energy efficiency, and environmental performance. Traditional burner maintenance mainly adopts a periodic inspection and reactive repair model, which suffers from insufficient or excessive maintenance and fails to achieve accurate condition perception and predictive maintenance.
[0003] Existing burner monitoring systems lack effective multi-source heterogeneous data fusion mechanisms; sensor data with different sampling rates are difficult to synchronize in time, resulting in insufficient data feature extraction and incomplete condition monitoring; furthermore, existing burner monitoring systems lack effective sensor fault detection and data recovery mechanisms, leading to a significant decrease in system monitoring capabilities when sensors malfunction. Existing health assessment methods rely too heavily on empirical thresholds, resulting in insufficient accuracy in remaining life prediction. Summary of the Invention
