Pump station equipment (such as motors, water pumps, bearings, etc.) is usually operated in a high-load, strong-vibration and harsh environment for a long time, and is prone to mechanical looseness, bearing wear, cavitation and other faults.
[0003] The traditional pump station monitoring method is mainly based on a "threshold alarm" mechanism of a single physical quantity (such as a vibration value), however, the working condition of a large pump station is complex, and the load changes frequently, so that a fixed threshold is often difficult to adapt to a dynamic working condition, resulting in a high false alarm rate (normal working condition fluctuation triggers an alarm) or a high missing alarm rate (early weak faults are not detected because they do not reach the threshold value), and the existing simple signal processing method (such as FFT spectrum analysis) cannot effectively mine deep nonlinear correlations between multi-source heterogeneous data (vibration, current, sound, etc.), and lacks the ability to predict the fault evolution trend, therefore, the AI-based large pump station fault online monitoring and early warning system is proposed.

[0018] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an AI-based online monitoring and early warning system for large-scale pumping station faults, including: The multimodal data acquisition module is used to acquire vibration signals, current and voltage signals, acoustic signals and temperature data of large pumping station equipment in real time. The edge computing preprocessing module is connected to the multimodal data acquisition module and is used to clean, denoise, and align the acquired raw data. The cloud-based AI deep analysis engine communicates with the edge computing preprocessing module to receive preprocessed data and extract spatiotemporal features through a dual-attention temporal neural network model to output device health status indicators. The dynamic early warning module calculates the anomaly confidence level based on the equipment health status indicators and an adaptive dynamic threshold algorithm. When the confidence level exceeds the set threshold, a tiered early warning is triggered. The dual-attention temporal neural network model includes a spatial attention unit and a temporal attention unit. The spatial attention unit is used to focus on the correlation between different sensor data, while the temporal attention unit is used to capture key time steps in the fault evolution process.
[0020] In this embodiment, specifically, the system deploys high-precision vibration acceleration sensors, Hall current sensors, acoustic sensors and thermocouples at key parts of the pumping station. Considering the complex electromagnetic interference at the pumping station site, an improved wavelet threshold denoising algorithm is used at the edge end.
[0021] In this embodiment, specifically, the edge computing preprocessing module adopts an improved wavelet threshold denoising algorithm, and its threshold selection formula is as follows: in, The standard deviation of noise. For signal length, The wavelet decomposition scale, To achieve the maximum decomposition scale, the formula, compared to the general threshold, incorporates a scale-dependent adjustment factor. This allows more information to be preserved at the low-frequency scale (approximate signal) and stronger denoising to be applied at the high-frequency scale (detail signal), thereby effectively preserving the fault impact characteristics.
[0022] In this embodiment, the specific construction process of the dual-attention temporal neural network model in the cloud-based AI deep analysis engine includes: One-dimensional convolutional neural networks are used to extract local spatial features of multi-source signals; The features are input into a long short-term memory network for time series modeling; A spatial attention mechanism is introduced after the convolutional neural network layer, and the weight calculation formula is as follows: in, The convolutional neural network outputs a feature matrix. and This is the weight matrix. For bias terms; A temporal attention mechanism is introduced after the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network layer to weight and aggregate the hidden states at different time steps.
[0023] In this embodiment, specifically, the weight calculation of the time attention mechanism is based on the correlation between the current hidden state and the historical context, and its correlation score. The calculation formula is: in, For the first Hidden states of the Long Short-Term Memory network at each time step The current hidden state. , and For model parameters, This represents the normalized temporal attention weights.
[0024] In this embodiment, the detailed steps of the dual-attention temporal neural network model are as follows: S1. Spatial Feature Extraction: First, a one-dimensional convolutional neural network is used to perform convolution operations on the multi-channel sensor data to extract local spatial features. Let the input be... ( For time steps, (Number of sensors), after passing through the convolutional layer, a feature map is obtained. ; S2, Spatial Attention Mechanism: Not all sensor data is equally important for current fault diagnosis; therefore, spatial attention weights are introduced. The calculation formula is as follows: This mechanism can automatically learn the weights of different sensors (such as vibration and current) in specific fault modes, thereby enabling the focus on key signals; S3, Temporal Modeling and Temporal Attention: The weighted features are input into the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network. The LTM network controls the flow of information through gating mechanisms (forget gate, input gate, and output gate), as shown in the following formula: in, It is the Sigmoid activation function. Represents element-wise product; To capture critical fault moments in long sequences, a temporal attention mechanism is introduced to calculate the current moment. With historical moments correlation score : Final time context vector for: This mechanism enables the model to automatically assign higher weights to time steps that contain key fault features when predicting the current state, while ignoring irrelevant noise fluctuations.
[0025] In this embodiment, the dynamic early warning module uses a Gaussian mixture model based on a sliding window to construct a dynamic threshold, updates the model parameters through maximum likelihood estimation, and calculates the negative log-likelihood probability of real-time data as anomaly score.
[0026] In this embodiment, specifically, the abnormal score The calculation logic is as follows: in, The number of Gaussian components. The mixing coefficient, Representing observation data In the The system updates the Gaussian mixture model parameters within a sliding window in real time, based on the probability density function under a Gaussian distribution. Thus, the threshold It can adaptively drift according to operating conditions (such as flow rate changes), when continuous The number of times exceeded the dynamic threshold When this occurs, it is determined to be a fault state.
[0027] In this embodiment, specifically applied to a large water supply pumping station, the system deployment is as follows: A triaxial vibration sensor is installed at both the motor drive end and the non-drive end, with a sampling rate set to 20kHz. A current transformer is installed in the electrical control cabinet to collect the three-phase current, and an acoustic sensor is installed on the pump casing. The data is transmitted to the edge gateway, which uses an improved wavelet threshold denoising algorithm to reduce the noise of the vibration signal and downsamples the 20kHz vibration signal to 1kHz. The data is then timestamped and aligned with the current and temperature signals, and the data is packaged and uploaded to the cloud every 5 seconds. The cloud-based AI deep analysis engine receives data and inputs it into a pre-trained hybrid model of a dual-attention mechanism convolutional neural network and a long short-term memory network. This hybrid model first extracts features through the convolutional neural network. The spatial attention mechanism identifies that the features with the highest weights are "horizontal vibration at the motor drive end" and "C-phase current," automatically suppressing other noise channels. Subsequently, the long short-term memory network analyzes data from the past hour, and the temporal attention mechanism detects a slight increase in a harmonic component that occurred 10 minutes prior.
[0028] A hybrid model combining a dual-attention convolutional neural network and a long short-term memory network outputs the current health index (HI). The dynamic early warning module calculates Gaussian mixture model parameters based on a sliding window of data from the past 24 hours. Since the pumping station is currently operating at a high water level and high load, the threshold... Automatic up-floating; although HI increased, it still did not exceed the adaptive threshold. As time went on, HI continued to rise, eventually reaching... The time exceeded 3 times in a row The system identified the issue as "early bearing wear" and immediately sent a Level 2 warning (yellow) to the central control room, recommending a maintenance plan.

Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and these should all be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
