Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of helium mass spectrometry leak detector technology, specifically to a leak detector leak rate prediction method based on function fitting and correlation analysis. Background Technology

[0002] A helium mass spectrometer leak detector is a highly sensitive detection device used to detect and quantify minute leaks in systems. It utilizes helium as a tracer gas and detects the amount of helium leakage through mass spectrometry. Specifically, helium is injected into the exterior of the object being tested. If a leak exists, the helium enters the object and is extracted by a vacuum pump. The mass spectrometer identifies and measures the leak by analyzing the concentration ratio of helium molecules. This instrument boasts advantages such as high sensitivity, non-destructive testing, speed and efficiency, precise leak location, and compatibility with various leak detection methods. It is widely used in industries with extremely high sealing requirements, such as aerospace, electronics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and semiconductors. Currently, in the initial stage of leak detection, helium mass spectrometer leak detectors require evacuating the machine and the tested component to a high vacuum. During this process, the leak rate gradually decreases and tends to stabilize. Because the signal from the helium ions is inherently very small, the industry typically calculates the leak rate by integrating the helium ion flow. This results in a long time to stabilize to the lowest leak rate and requires filtering, which introduces a lag. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a leak rate prediction method for leak detectors based on function fitting and correlation analysis, which solves the problems of long time required for existing technologies to stabilize to the lowest leak rate and the need for filtering. This application utilizes the correlation between leak rate curves of the same device under the same conditions after integral filtering, which greatly accelerates the convergence speed and improves the leak detection efficiency.

[0004] This application is achieved through the following technical solution:

This includes: using the Pearson correlation analysis method or the Spearman correlation analysis method to perform a correlation analysis on the real-time data fitting model and its corresponding leakage rate decay characteristic model to determine the correlation analysis results.

[0017] If the correlation in the correlation analysis result is greater than a preset correlation threshold and the duration is greater than a preset time threshold, then the leak rate prediction result is determined to be the minimum leak rate; otherwise, the leak rate is determined to be the minimum leak rate.

[0018] In one possible implementation, it also includes:

[0019] If the predicted leakage rate is the minimum leakage rate, then the real-time data fitting model is subjected to fitting index analysis to obtain the fitting index corresponding to the real-time data fitting model.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this application are only for explaining this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application provides a leak detector leak rate prediction method based on function fitting and correlation analysis, including:

[0040] S101. For any type of leak in the leak detector, collect the sequence of leak rate versus time corresponding to the leak, and perform function fitting on the sequence of leak rate versus time to obtain a leak rate decay characteristic model.

[0041] The leak detector described in this application embodiment is officially called a helium mass spectrometer leak detector, which is a highly sensitive detection device used to detect and quantify minute leaks in a system. Leak detectors typically have a sensitivity of 10⁻⁻⁶. 8 Pa·m³ / s, 10⁻ 9 Pa·m³ / s, 10⁻ 10 Pa·m³ / s, 10 -13 The leak detector operates on four scales: Pa·m³ / s. For any scale, the leak rate can be injected and stopped using the corresponding built-in standard leak orifice, while simultaneously acquiring a time-dependent sequence. Then, logarithmic transformation and polynomial fitting can be performed on the time-dependent sequence for each scale to obtain the leak rate decay characteristic model for each scale. This model can then be permanently stored. It is worth noting that for 10... -13 For leaks of Pa·m³ / s, no leak signal injection is required. The leak detector's leak rate will reach the machine's baseline leak rate, which is also the machine's minimum detectable leak rate.

[0042] In the industry, standard leaks are generally used for calibration. These standard leaks are factory-calibrated, and the leak rate values ​​corresponding to them are generally considered correct. As long as the operating conditions of the standard leak, such as temperature and humidity, are met, the leak rate model collected will be correct. Therefore, standard leaks can be used to obtain a leak rate attenuation characteristic model.

[0043] For example, after collecting the time-related sequence of the leakage rate corresponding to the leak, the leakage rate value at each sampling point can be logarithmically transformed first, and then a third-order least squares fit can be performed to obtain the leakage rate decay feature model.

[0044] In one possible implementation, the leakage rate decay characteristic model is:

[0045] ;

[0046] in, Represents the logarithmic function. Let i represent the leakage rate decay feature model corresponding to the i-th order of magnitude, i=1,2,…,I, where I represents the total number of order of magnitude and t represents the sampling time (e.g., leakage rate sampling is performed once every 10ms; if it is the 10th sampling, then t=100ms). This represents the zeroth coefficient of the leakage rate decay feature model corresponding to the i-th order of magnitude. This represents the first coefficient of the leakage rate decay feature model corresponding to the i-th order of magnitude. This represents the second coefficient corresponding to the leakage rate decay characteristic model at the i-th order of magnitude. This represents the third coefficient corresponding to the leakage rate decay feature model for the i-th order of magnitude.

[0047] S102. Collect the real-time data fitting model corresponding to the leak, and perform correlation analysis on the real-time data fitting model and its corresponding leak rate decay characteristic model to determine the correlation analysis results.

[0048] The real-time data fitting model continuously matches the model in the system during the leak detection process, while the standard leak rate decay characteristic model only has a few fixed orders of magnitude. If the leak rate has not yet reached the corresponding order of magnitude, the real-time data fitting model will be matched.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the real-time data fitting model is:

[0050] ;

[0051] Where lg represents the logarithmic function. Let represent the real-time data fitting model corresponding to the i-th order of magnitude, where i = 1, 2, ..., I, I represents the total number of orders of magnitude, and t represents the sampling time. This represents the zeroth coefficient of the real-time data fitting model corresponding to the i-th order of magnitude. This represents the first coefficient of the real-time data fitting model corresponding to the i-th order of magnitude. This represents the second coefficient of the real-time data fitting model corresponding to the i-th order of magnitude. This represents the third coefficient of the real-time data fitting model corresponding to the i-th order of magnitude.

[0052] In one possible implementation, a correlation analysis is performed on the real-time data fitting model and its corresponding leakage rate decay characteristic model to determine the correlation analysis results. This includes: using the Pearson correlation analysis method or the Spearman correlation analysis method to perform a correlation analysis on the real-time data fitting model and its corresponding leakage rate decay characteristic model to determine the correlation analysis results.

[0053] For example, the correlation analysis results obtained using the Pearson correlation analysis method are as follows:

[0054] ;

[0055] in, This indicates the correlation analysis results obtained using the Pearson correlation analysis method. express The average value across all sampling points.

[0056] The correlation analysis results obtained using the Spearman correlation analysis method are as follows:

[0057] ;

[0058] in, This indicates the correlation analysis results obtained using the Spearman correlation analysis method. express and The difference between function values, where N represents the total number of sampling points.

[0059] S103. Based on the correlation analysis results, predict the leakage rate of the leak and determine the leakage rate prediction result; wherein, the leakage rate prediction result includes whether the predicted leakage rate has reached the minimum leakage rate or the predicted leakage rate has not reached the minimum leakage rate.

[0060] Optionally, once data that meets the criteria is obtained, it will be merged into the existing data. To save storage space, the merged data will not be saved in its original form, but will be fitted into a polynomial using the least squares method, storing only the four coefficients of the third-order polynomial.

[0061] If the predicted leak rate does not reach the minimum leak rate, it may be due to machine aging or other reasons that cause the model to fail to fit, or it may be that there is no model of the corresponding magnitude. Therefore, abnormal feedback or prompts can be given.

[0062] In one possible implementation, based on the correlation analysis results, the leakage rate of the leak is predicted, and the leakage rate prediction result is determined, including:

[0063] If the correlation in the correlation analysis result is greater than a preset correlation threshold and the duration is greater than a preset time threshold, then the leak rate prediction result is determined to be the minimum leak rate; otherwise, the leak rate is determined to be the minimum leak rate.

[0064] For example, the correlation threshold can be set to 0.9. If the correlation analysis result is r, then if the duration exceeds the preset time threshold when r is greater than or equal to 0.9, the leak rate prediction result can be determined to be the leak rate prediction, which has reached the minimum leak rate. This can speed up the convergence speed and improve the leak detection efficiency.

[0065] The time threshold is variable and can be adjusted using the corresponding leak rate decay feature model. This allows the leak rate decay feature model to quickly converge to the minimum value for different magnitudes of leaks. For example, the time threshold can be adjusted based on the minimum leak rate corresponding to different magnitudes of leaks; for instance, for a -8 leak, the time from the start of leak detection to the -8 leak rate stabilization is very fast and does not require a long time, so the time threshold can be set to 3 seconds.

[0066] In one possible implementation, it also includes:

[0067] If the predicted leakage rate is the minimum leakage rate, then the real-time data fitting model is subjected to fitting index analysis to obtain the fitting index corresponding to the real-time data fitting model.

[0068] Based on the fitting index corresponding to the real-time data fitting model, the leakage rate decay feature model is detected and updated to achieve model calibration.

[0069] In one possible implementation, the real-time data fitting model is subjected to fitting index analysis to obtain the fitting index corresponding to the real-time data fitting model, including:

[0070] Goodness-of-fit analysis and root mean square loss error analysis are performed on the real-time data fitting model to obtain the goodness-of-fit and root mean square loss error values ​​corresponding to the real-time data fitting model, and the goodness-of-fit and root mean square loss error values ​​are used together as fitting index.

[0071] In one possible implementation, the goodness of fit is:

[0072] ;

[0073] in, Indicates the goodness of fit. This indicates that the leakage rate decay feature model corresponding to the i-th order of magnitude is at sampling point t. nUsing a base-10 logarithmic value, we need to calculate the leakage rate decay feature model for each order of magnitude, and select the leakage rate decay feature model with the highest goodness of fit as the model corresponding to the real-time data fitting model. This indicates that the real-time data fitting model is at sampling point t. n The above are logarithmic values ​​with base 10, n = 1, 2, ..., N, where N represents the total number of sampling points. express The average value across all sampling points.

[0074] In one possible implementation, the root mean square loss error value is:

[0075] ;

[0076] RMSE represents the root mean square error value.

[0077] In one possible implementation, the leakage rate decay feature model is detected and updated based on the fitting index corresponding to the real-time data fitting model, including:

[0078] If the goodness of fit and / or root mean square loss error value in the fitting index do not meet the preset numerical requirements, the leakage rate decay feature model will be calibrated and updated; otherwise, no calibration and update will be performed.

[0079] Optionally, it can be done in R 2 If the error rate is ≤80% and / or the root mean square loss exceeds a preset error threshold, a curve update is triggered to prevent model mismatch caused by machine aging or temperature drift. Correlation reflects the degree of association between real-time data and the model, but goodness of fit reflects the fitting effect between the function fitted to the real-time data and the model function. Therefore, it is possible to have a good correlation but a poor goodness of fit, in which case the leak rate decay feature model needs to be calibrated and updated.

[0080] For example, if the real-time data meets the model update conditions, the built-in model can be updated, and the new model feature model is:

[0081]

[0082] Where lg represents the logarithmic function. Let represent the fusion fitting model corresponding to the i-th order of magnitude, i = 1, 2, ..., I, where I represents the total number of orders of magnitude, j = 1, 2, ..., J, where J represents the order, and t represents the sampling time. This represents the j-th coefficient of the fusion fitting model corresponding to the i-th order of magnitude. This represents the weights for different orders, with values ​​ranging from [0,1]. During the fusion process, different fusion strategies are employed for coefficients of different orders. The constant term reflects the baseline leakage rate and uses a conservative fusion approach. The value is set to 0.8; the linear term reflects the decay rate, and a balanced fusion is used. Taking 0.5, the dynamic characteristics of the attenuation of higher-order terms are analyzed, and adaptive fusion is employed. and Take 0.3;

[0083] like Figure 2 As shown in (a) through (c), the test data was collected using the same leak detector to reach 1.0*10. -13 The data on the leakage rate in Pa·m³ / s shows that, in real-time correlation, the correlation value r exceeds 0.95 at t=100, indicating a strong correlation. The real-time leakage rate change curve represents the data curve displayed in real time after algorithm optimization. In the real-time leakage rate change curve, green indicates that the correlation r has not reached the set condition, while red indicates the minimum leakage rate of the model after reaching the set condition. When the test curve has not yet reached the -13 leakage rate (baseline leakage rate), the function fit has reached 0.9, indicating a strong correlation. To avoid misjudgment, the fit needs to meet a certain duration or other set conditions, and then it is determined that the measurement can reach the minimum leakage rate of the model. Similarly, as long as there is a standard leak, decay curves of various orders of magnitude can be collected, and multiple decay results can be fitted, allowing the machine to converge to the minimum leakage rate of the model more quickly.

[0084] For 1.0*10 -8 Convergence at the Pa·m³ / s level is inherently short. If model prediction is required, the order of the fitting function needs adjustment. Due to its fast convergence speed, the curve is closer to a first or quadratic function; a second-order fit is more suitable. Furthermore, using Pearson correlation to measure the relationship with the calibration curve can accelerate model convergence. For 1.0*10... -9 Pa·m³ / s, 1.0*10 -10 Pa·m³ / s, 1.0*10 -11 Pa·m³ / s and background leakage rate 1.0*10 -13 Because Pa·m³ / s has a relatively long convergence time, fitting the curve with a third-order polynomial and measuring the relationship with the calibration curve using Spearman correlation or Kendall correlation can more accurately predict the convergence value.

[0085] For 1.0*10 -8Convergence at the Pa·m³ / s level is inherently short. If model prediction is required, the order of the fitting function needs adjustment. Due to its fast convergence speed, the curve is closer to a first or quadratic function; a second-order fit is more suitable. Furthermore, using Pearson correlation to measure the relationship with the calibration curve can accelerate model convergence. For 1.0*10... -9 Pa·m³ / s, 1.0*10 -10 Pa·m³ / s, 1.0*10 -11 Pa·m³ / s and background leakage rate 1.0*10 -13 Because Pa·m³ / s has a relatively long convergence time, fitting the curve with a third-order polynomial and measuring the relationship with the calibration curve using Spearman correlation or Kendall correlation can more accurately predict the convergence value.

[0086] In practical use of leak detectors, the leak rate to be measured is unknown. Therefore, it is necessary to fit the test data with the built-in model of each leak detector for calculation. Figure 3 As shown, tests were conducted using test data of various magnitudes. It can be seen that the model at each magnitude has the highest good of fit, thus demonstrating that the technical solution described in this application can be applied in practical use. To further optimize the algorithm, goodness of fit is needed. Since correlation is merely a direct trend of the evaluation function, and it generally decreases for the leak rate curve, relying solely on correlation may not be sufficient in certain scenarios. Goodness of fit more intuitively reflects the correlation between the model and the test data. For example... Figure 3 As shown, it can be seen that for 1.0*10 -8 Pa·m³ / s, 1.0*10 -9 Pa·m³ / s, 1.0*10 -10 Pa·m³ / s and 1.0*10 -13 Data in the Pa·m³ / s range exhibits a strong correlation with the corresponding model. Further analysis allows for a better assessment of whether the data closely matches the model at a given time point. This can be achieved by calculating the ΔR² value (the rate of change of goodness of fit) to determine if the R² value is stabilizing. The model with the largest R² value among all models should be considered. If the ΔR² value approaches 0, it indicates a similar trend to the model. Then, it's determined whether the R² value corresponding to this model is the maximum value within the model. If it is the maximum value, it means the data will converge to the model's minimum value.

[0087] Specific implementation results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown in (a) to (c), the trends of R² and ΔR² values ​​for four different leak rate models as the number of test points increases are illustrated. Figure 4In (a) of the model, the closer the R² value is to 1, the better the model fits the test data; the faster the curve rises, the faster the model converges; the smaller the fluctuation after the curve stabilizes, the more stable the convergence. Therefore, it can be seen that using 1.0*10 -13 Data on the order of Pa·m³ / s were fitted to a value of 1.0*10. -13 The model with a Pa·m³ / s has the best fit and converges very quickly. Figure 4 (b) shows the trend of ΔR² value. The ΔR² value approaching zero is the key condition for judging convergence. It can be seen that in the initial stage, the ΔR² value fluctuates greatly and the model fitting is still being adjusted. As the number of test points increases, the ΔR² value gradually decreases and approaches zero. Figure 4 (c) shows a scatter plot comparing the R² value and its corresponding ΔR² value on a two-dimensional plane. The horizontal axis represents the R² value (range 0-1). The scatter plots move from the left (low R² value) to the right (high R² value). As the R² value increases, the ΔR² value gradually approaches the zero line. The scatter plots within the convergence region are concentrated in areas with higher R² values ​​and ΔR² values ​​close to zero. The convergence points of each model are located at or near the convergence region. However, the convergence criterion is that both the R² value and the ΔR² value must be sufficiently high and sufficiently small. Experiments confirm that only data of the same magnitude and models of the same magnitude can achieve convergence. Based on 1.0*10 -13 Experimental results using data on the order of Pa·m³ / s confirm that the technical solution described in this application reduces convergence time by 78%.
