Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal power generation, and in particular to a self-calibration method for an air-cooled energy-saving and efficiency-enhancing robot for a 600MW unit. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of thermal power generation, the air-cooling system of a 600MW unit is a key piece of equipment for energy conservation and consumption reduction. Its heat dissipation efficiency directly affects the unit's back pressure and economy. The accumulation of dirt on the surface of the air-cooling island tube bundle will lead to a decrease in heat exchange efficiency. In the traditional method of using a track-type cleaning robot for regular flushing and maintenance, the system collects track geometric parameters in real time and uses a PID control algorithm to correct the robot's trajectory online. The system adopts multi-sensor fusion technology, uses a laser ranging unit to measure changes in track spacing in real time, and combines encoder feedback to achieve synchronous control of the drive motor. This effectively solves the problem of track parallelism deviation caused by thermal deformation. A temperature compensation algorithm is introduced to correct the measured values according to changes in ambient temperature, which significantly improves the measurement accuracy under conditions of large day-night temperature differences.
[0003] However, existing technologies still have room for improvement in predictive compensation and adaptive control of track deformation. Because air-cooled island tracks are exposed to the outdoor environment for extended periods, they are affected by a combination of factors, including wind load, temperature cycling, and material creep, resulting in significant time-varying and nonlinear characteristics in their deformation process. While existing fixed-parameter PID control methods can achieve real-time deviation correction, they struggle to address the control challenges posed by sudden deformation and gradual deformation accumulation. Especially under conditions of sudden wind speed changes or rapid temperature fluctuations, fixed control parameters cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of response speed and stability, potentially leading to overshoot or oscillations during the cleaning process. Summary of the Invention

Based on the digital twin model of the track, combined with historical deformation data and material fatigue characteristics, the future deformation trend of the track is predicted and deformation compensation commands are generated. Upon receiving deformation compensation commands, the parameters of the proportional-integral-derivative controller are dynamically adjusted based on reinforcement learning algorithms to optimize the control strategy of the drive motor. Based on the topology diagram of the air-cooled island tube bundle layout and combined with the three-dimensional coordinate map of the track generated by LiDAR scanning, the cleaning coverage path is optimized and the travel path is set through the A* algorithm. The 600MW unit air-cooled energy-saving and efficiency-enhancing robot follows its path, with lidar and inertial measurement unit continuously monitoring track deformation and dynamically adjusting the output of the proportional-integral-derivative controller to control the magnetorheological damper to suppress vibration.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0023] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0024] Reference Figures 1-3 As one embodiment of the present invention, this embodiment provides a self-calibration method for a 600MW unit air-cooled energy-saving efficiency-enhancing robot, comprising the following steps: The S1, 600MW unit air-cooled energy-saving and efficiency-enhancing robot initializes and calibrates the lidar, inertial measurement unit, encoder, high-pressure water pump and electric valve.
[0025] S1.1 The control center sends an initialization command to perform zero-position calibration of the reflective target of the lidar, six-axis static calibration of the inertial measurement unit, speed feedback verification of the encoder, no-load pressure test of the high-pressure water pump, and opening and closing response test of the electric valve. All calibration data are uploaded to the control center in real time via industrial Ethernet. If an abnormality occurs, an alarm is triggered and the startup process is paused.
[0026] Furthermore, before the robot system starts, the control center sends initialization commands to all key sensing and execution units. First, a high-precision reflective target is used to perform zero-point calibration of the lidar to ensure the accuracy of the ranging reference. Then, a six-axis static calibration is performed on the inertial measurement unit on a horizontal reference platform to eliminate zero-point drift errors in attitude measurement. Next, the encoder is dynamically verified by comparing the actual rotational speed with the feedback signal to ensure the accuracy of motor control. At the same time, the no-load pressure characteristics of the high-pressure water pump are tested to verify its pressure output linearity, and the electric valve is tested for full-stroke opening and closing response to confirm its operational reliability. All data generated during the calibration process is transmitted to the control center in real time via industrial Ethernet. When any abnormal value exceeding the technical specifications is detected in any link, the system immediately triggers multi-level audible and visual alarms and suspends the startup process. S2. By integrating lidar scanning data, inertial measurement unit attitude data, and material mechanical property parameters, a three-dimensional virtual track model is constructed using the finite element analysis method.
[0027] S2.1 By integrating the orbit point cloud data scanned by lidar, the orbit inclination data recorded by the inertial measurement unit, and the elastic modulus and fatigue limit parameters of the orbit material, a three-dimensional virtual orbit model is established using finite element analysis software, which includes mesh generation, boundary condition setting, and load application.
[0028] Furthermore, in constructing the 3D virtual track model, the system first uses a high-precision lidar to perform a comprehensive scan of the air-cooled island track, acquiring dense point cloud spatial coordinate data. Simultaneously, it utilizes an inertial measurement unit to collect real-time dynamic tilt angle changes at various points on the track. Combining the elastic deformation characteristics and long-term fatigue performance parameters of the track steel, professional finite element analysis software is used for modeling. The modeling process begins with fine-grained mesh generation of the track structure to ensure mesh density in key areas. Then, reasonable boundary constraints are set based on the actual support conditions of the track, and loads are applied considering multiple physical field factors such as wind pressure loads, temperature stress, and mechanical vibration. Finally, a 3D virtual model that accurately reflects the true state of the track is generated. This model, by integrating multi-source measured data and material properties, achieves a precise digital representation of the mechanical behavior of the track structure.
[0029] S3. Based on the digital twin model of the track, combined with historical deformation data and material fatigue characteristics, predict the future deformation trend of the track and generate deformation compensation commands.
[0030] S3.1 Using the deformation records under temperature load and wind load in the historical deformation database, the longitudinal bending and lateral offset of each track segment are calculated by the time series prediction algorithm, and deformation compensation commands with deformation position, direction and compensation amount are generated and sent to the motion controller.

[0033] S4. Receive deformation compensation instructions and dynamically adjust the parameters of the proportional-integral-derivative controller based on reinforcement learning algorithm to optimize the control strategy of the drive motor.
[0034] S4.1 The deviation between the actual deformation of the track and the predicted value is used as the state input of the deep reinforcement learning algorithm, and the motor torque adjustment is used as the action output. The proportional coefficient, integral coefficient and derivative coefficient of the proportional-integral-derivative controller are optimized online through a reward function that takes into account both energy consumption and trajectory tracking accuracy, and then sent to the drive motor in real time via the CAN bus.
[0035] Furthermore, during the adaptive control process, the system collects dynamic deviation data between the actual track deformation and the predicted values from the digital twin model in real time, using this data as the environmental state input for the deep reinforcement learning algorithm. The control algorithm evaluates the current operating conditions through a deep neural network and outputs the optimal motor torque adjustment command. This adjustment comprehensively considers instantaneous response requirements and long-term operational stability, employing a multi-objective optimization reward mechanism. While ensuring trajectory tracking accuracy, it intelligently balances factors such as energy efficiency and mechanical wear, autonomously adjusting the parameter combinations of the proportional, integral, and derivative control dimensions. The optimized control parameters are transmitted in real time to each drive motor execution unit via a high-speed CAN bus communication protocol, achieving millisecond-level dynamic response. This AI-based adaptive control strategy effectively solves the adjustment lag problem of traditional fixed-parameter PID control under complex operating conditions, enabling the robot to intelligently cope with challenges such as sudden track deformation and gradual deformation accumulation.

[0038] Specifically, the expression is, ; in, For nodes The overall cost estimate, From the starting point to the node The actual cost, For the node Heuristic cost estimation to the target point.
[0039] Furthermore, in the path planning phase, the system first constructs a topological network based on the engineering design drawings of the 560 tube bundles in the air-cooled island, accurately reflecting the spatial connections between the tube bundles. Simultaneously, it integrates a real-time 3D point cloud map generated by high-precision LiDAR scanning to establish an environmental model that includes the track deformation state. Through an improved A* search algorithm, the system intelligently calculates the globally optimal path within the topological network. This algorithm comprehensively considers factors such as path length, deformation risk level, and mechanical steering constraints, automatically avoiding high-risk areas where deformation exceeds safety thresholds. The final optimized path coordinate sequence is transmitted in real-time to the steering control system via an industrial communication protocol, guiding the cleaning robot to precisely operate along the predetermined trajectory. This path planning method, which integrates prior design and real-time perception, ensures comprehensive coverage of the cleaning operation while effectively avoiding operational risks caused by track deformation.

[0042] Furthermore, during robot operation, a high-precision lidar continuously monitors the track's geometric deformation at a scanning frequency of 100 times per second, capturing microscopic displacement changes on the track surface in real time. Simultaneously, an inertial measurement unit samples the robot's multidimensional vibration spectrum at millisecond levels, accurately identifying the mechanical vibration characteristics of different frequency bands. Based on this real-time sensor data, the motion controller dynamically allocates the output torque of each drive motor through intelligent algorithms, while simultaneously sending precisely modulated current control signals to the magnetorheological damper, enabling its damping characteristics to adaptively suppress high-frequency mechanical vibrations. This multi-sensor collaborative closed-loop control system ensures the robot's operational stability under complex track conditions while effectively avoiding positioning errors and mechanical wear caused by vibration, significantly improving the accuracy of cleaning operations and extending equipment lifespan.

[0045] The comprehensive scoring expression for cleaning effectiveness is as follows: ; in, To determine the overall cleaning effect, To account for the temperature difference before and after cleaning, As a temperature reference value, This is the back pressure reference value. This represents the decrease in back pressure. For the area to be cleaned, This represents the total area of the tube bundle.
[0046] Furthermore, during the cleaning effect evaluation phase, the system uses an infrared thermal imager to scan the entire temperature field of the air-cooled island fins, accurately capturing the temperature distribution characteristics of the heat exchange tube bundle. Simultaneously, a high-definition camera acquires images of the fin surface, and a deep learning convolutional neural network intelligently identifies areas of residual dirt and calculates the contamination coverage. At the same time, an ultrasonic thickness gauge precisely measures the thickness of dirt deposits in key areas. Finally, through a multi-source data fusion algorithm, an objective and quantitative comprehensive evaluation result of the cleaning effect is generated by integrating multiple dimensions such as temperature uniformity, visual cleanliness, and dirt thickness. This multi-modal sensing collaborative evaluation mechanism overcomes the limitations of single detection methods and achieves a comprehensive and scientific evaluation of cleaning quality, providing accurate data support for subsequent maintenance decisions.

[0049] Furthermore, during the data management and equipment maintenance phase, the system processes all operational data using encryption algorithms and stores it in a distributed database based on blockchain technology, ensuring the immutability and traceability of data records. Simultaneously, it continuously monitors acoustic signals in the 20-50 kHz frequency band using acoustic emission sensors and employs pattern recognition algorithms to accurately extract the microcrack characteristic spectrum of the finned tube bundle. When a damage characteristic signal is detected, the system automatically marks the risk level at the corresponding location in the digital twin model and generates an intelligent work order containing specific coordinates, risk type, and maintenance priority, which is then pushed to the equipment management system. This technical solution, integrating blockchain data preservation and acoustic fault diagnosis, not only achieves full lifecycle management of equipment status but also provides a scientific basis for predictive maintenance, effectively avoiding heat exchange efficiency degradation and safety accidents caused by fin damage.
