Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of instrumentation and intelligent monitoring technology, specifically relating to a method for multi-sensor tilt angle fusion monitoring and dynamic early warning of large floating platforms. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of large oil storage tanks in energy storage and chemical production, the floating roof, as a key component of internal floating roof tanks, directly affects the safety, sealing, and evaporation loss control of the tank. Floating roofs are constantly positioned above flammable and explosive media, and are highly susceptible to tilting or even jamming due to multiple factors such as liquid level fluctuations, wind load disturbances, structural deformation, and sediment accumulation. In severe cases, this can lead to fires, explosions, or major environmental pollution accidents. Therefore, high-precision and highly reliable real-time monitoring and early warning of the floating roof tilt angle has become a requirement for the safe operation and maintenance of storage tanks.

[0003] Large floating roofs can reach diameters of over 60 meters, with large structural spans and uneven stiffness distribution, making it difficult to reflect the overall attitude from tilt measurements at a single location. Existing monitoring solutions typically deploy multiple tilt sensors on the floating roof to cover key areas, but data from each sensor is often processed independently, lacking an effective mechanism for fusing multi-source information. Due to inherent sensor limitations such as installation errors, temperature drift, and local disturbances, simply taking the average or maximum value as the basis for judgment can easily lead to false alarms or missed alarms, failing to accurately characterize the true tilt state of the floating roof.

[0004] In existing technologies, tilt angle warnings generally employ fixed threshold triggering mechanisms, failing to consider the impact of dynamic operating conditions such as tank operation phase, ambient temperature, and liquid level on the floating roof's behavior. This results in frequent alarms under normal operating condition fluctuations, while lacking sensitivity to hidden risks such as slow, cumulative tilting. Furthermore, the system lacks self-diagnostic capabilities for sensor malfunctions; if a sensor fails or drifts, it directly affects the overall judgment logic.

[0005] Current monitoring systems lack intelligent linkage control logic with safety interlock devices such as emergency shut-off and nitrogen sealing protection of storage tanks. Even when a dangerous tilt angle is detected, rapid response and proactive intervention are difficult to achieve, failing to meet the high standards of inherent safety and proactive defense required by modern intelligent storage and transportation systems. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent monitoring and early warning method for floating roof tilt angle that integrates multi-sensor data, possesses dynamic threshold generation, fault self-diagnosis, and safety linkage capabilities. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention provides a multi-sensor tilt fusion monitoring and dynamic early warning method for large floating roofs, aiming to solve the technical challenge of accurately, in real-time, and globally sensing and warning of local tilting caused by structural deformation, uneven medium distribution, or external disturbances during operation of large oil tank floating roofs with diameters up to 60 meters. Existing technologies typically use single-point or a small number of discretely arranged tilt sensors for monitoring. The data only reflects the instantaneous attitude of a local area and cannot effectively characterize the spatial attitude field distribution of the entire floating roof surface. Furthermore, these sensors are susceptible to sensor drift, installation errors, or local interference, leading to false alarms or missed alarms. Existing systems lack the ability to perform spatiotemporal consistency calibration, spatial weight allocation, and dynamic evolution trend modeling of multi-source heterogeneous tilt data, making it difficult to support accurate assessment and graded early warning of the overall stability state of the floating roof.

[0059] Reference Appendix Figures 1 to 5 This invention provides a multi-sensor tilt fusion monitoring and dynamic early warning method for large floating roofs, applicable to oil tank floating roof structures with diameters up to 60 meters. This method constructs a tilt sensing network covering the entire floating roof surface by deploying multiple high-precision dual-axis tilt sensors in a grid pattern on the floating roof surface. Combined with microsecond-level time synchronization, spatial coordinate mapping, adaptive weighted fusion, and a dynamic threshold early warning mechanism, it achieves high-precision, robust, real-time monitoring and tiered early warning of the overall attitude state of the floating roof.

[0060] The method includes the following steps:

[0061] S1, spatial grid division of the surface of a large floating table and deployment of a multi-sensor array;

[0062] S2 performs spatiotemporal synchronous acquisition and transmission of raw tilt angle data from multiple sensors;

[0068] S8 sets up a multi-level dynamic early warning threshold system and executes a graded early warning response process.

[0069] In step S1, the surface of the large floating roof is divided into several monitoring units with clearly defined geometric coordinates. Each monitoring unit is a regular hexagonal or square area, with its side length determined based on the floating roof diameter, structural stiffness distribution, and expected monitoring accuracy; a typical value is 5 to 10 meters. Each monitoring unit is equipped with at least one high-precision dual-axis tilt sensor with a measurement range of -90 degrees to +90 degrees, a resolution of not less than 0.01 degrees, and a repeatability error of less than 0.05 degrees. All sensors are bolted to a rigid support structure on the upper surface of the floating roof, ensuring that their measurement axes are strictly parallel to the local plane of the floating roof. After the sensors are installed, the position coordinates of each sensor in a three-dimensional coordinate system with the geometric center of the floating roof as the origin, the X-axis along the east-west direction, the Y-axis along the north-south direction, and the Z-axis vertically upward are recorded. , For the first The X-axis coordinates of each sensor. For the first The Y-axis coordinate values ​​of each sensor. The design height of the floating platform is considered constant. The three-dimensional coordinate system of the floating platform has its origin at the geometric center of the platform, with the X-axis along the east-west direction, the Y-axis along the north-south direction, and the Z-axis vertically upward. A total of no fewer than 36 sensors are required to ensure a sufficiently dense sensing network on the 60-meter diameter floating platform.

[0070] In step S2, all tilt sensors achieve microsecond-level time synchronization via a unified clock source. This clock source is provided by a high-stability crystal oscillator built into the central processing unit and distributed to each sensor node via a wired synchronization signal line or a low-latency wireless synchronization protocol. The synchronization accuracy is better than 10 microseconds. The sensors acquire raw tilt data at a fixed sampling frequency, typically 20 Hz. The raw data includes the tilt angle value in the X direction. Inclination angle with the Y direction , representing the tilt angles of the floating roof relative to the horizontal plane in the X and Y directions, respectively. All raw data is transmitted to the central processing unit in real time via industrial Ethernet or an interference-resistant wireless communication module, with a transmission delay of no more than 50 milliseconds. The data packet format includes a unique sensor identifier, a timestamp, and , And a verification code to ensure data integrity and traceability.

[0071] In step S3, the central processing unit performs preprocessing on all received raw tilt angle data. Outliers exceeding the sensor's range limits are removed, i.e., when... or If this occurs, the original tilt angle data is deemed invalid. Zero-point offset caused by temperature drift is compensated. Each sensor has a built-in temperature sensor to monitor the ambient temperature in real time. Based on the factory-calibrated temperature-zero offset curve, for and Compensation will be provided, and the compensation formula is as follows: ; For the first Tilt angle data in the X-axis direction of each sensor after temperature drift compensation For the first Tilt angle data in the Y-axis direction of each sensor after temperature drift compensation and This is the temperature drift coefficient. To calibrate the reference temperature, typically 25 degrees Celsius, a time alignment operation is performed. The sensor located at the geometric center of the floating disk is selected as the primary reference sensor, and its timestamp is used. As a benchmark. For other sensors If data timestamp and There is a deviation Then, a linear interpolation algorithm based on the assumption of rigid body motion of the floating disk is used to calculate the... Inclination angle at time:

[0072] ;

[0073] For the first The tilt angle values ​​of each sensor along the X-axis after time alignment. For the first The tilt angle values ​​of each sensor along the X-axis after time alignment. and For sensors The rate of change of tilt angle during the previous sampling period is calculated using the first-order difference. If If the maximum allowed synchronization window (e.g., 100 milliseconds) is exceeded, the data is discarded and marked as a communication error.

[0074] In step S4, an initial model of the floating table's tilt field is constructed based on the physical installation positions of each sensor on the floating table and its preprocessed tilt angle data. This initial model of the floating table's tilt field uses the floating table surface as its domain and any point... Inclination vector at point This is the value range. For point The tilt angle value along the X-axis. For point The initial model for the tilt angle value along the Y-axis (north-south) treats each sensor location as a discrete sampling point and directly assigns its tilt angle data, forming a sparse tilt angle field representation. This initial model of the floating dock tilt angle field provides the basic data structure for subsequent spatial consistency verification and fusion calculations.

[0075] In step S5, a spatial consistency check is performed. This check is based on the physical constraint of the floating roof structure's continuity: the tilt angle change between adjacent regions should be smooth, and its gradient should not exceed the critical value for material yielding or structural instability. The calculation is performed between any two adjacent monitoring units. and The gradient of the inclination between Its definition is: ; For the first The tilt vector of each sensor, No. The tilt vector of each sensor, Denotes the Euclidean norm. The Euclidean distance between the two sensors. Set the maximum allowable gradient threshold. The typical value is 0.5 degrees per meter. If Then the determination unit or At least one of them contains a local anomaly.

[0076] Furthermore, by comparing the gradient mean of a given cell with that of all its neighboring cells, the most likely anomalous cells are identified. Once the anomalous cells are identified... The data repair mechanism is activated. This mechanism employs a spatial interpolation method based on radial basis functions, utilizing... Reconstruct the dip angle data of all normal cells in the neighborhood. The appropriate tilt angle value for the location. A Gaussian kernel is chosen as the radial basis function, and its expression is: ; The reasonable tilt angle value of the abnormal element k after radial basis function interpolation is given. for The normal neighborhood set, and Units and The position vector, The scaling parameter is used to control the smoothness of interpolation. For normalized weight coefficients, satisfying The repaired data replaces the original outliers, updates the tilt field model, and ensures its spatial continuity and physical rationality.

[0077] In step S6, an adaptive spatial weighted fusion strategy based on the structural mechanical properties of the floating roof is introduced. This adaptive spatial weighted fusion strategy aims to dynamically allocate the weight of each monitoring unit in the global tilt angle calculation according to the importance of each unit, avoiding the central region information being overwhelmed by edge noise due to simple averaging. The formula for calculating the weight coefficient of each monitoring unit is: ; For the first The standard deviation of the tilt angle data of each monitoring unit in the most recent hour reflects its historical stability; The structural stiffness coefficient of the region where the element is located is predetermined by the finite element analysis of the floating roof, with a value of 1.0 for the central region and 0.6 for the edge region; The normalized distance from the cell to the geometric center of the floating disk. , This is the actual distance. The radius of the floating platform; , , The preset positive real number adjustment parameter satisfies Typical value All weight coefficients are normalized to make Based on this weight, the overall equivalent tilt angle of the floating roof is calculated. : ;

[0078] At the same time, the maximum value of the tilt angle amplitude in all monitoring units is recorded as the maximum local tilt angle. .

[0079] In step S7, a dynamic evolution model of the floating dock tilt angle is constructed. This dynamic evolution model of the floating dock tilt angle uses a sliding time window of 300 seconds to... and Continuous sampling is performed to form a time series. First-order difference is used to calculate... and instantaneous rate of change and : ; For time, The sampling interval is 50 milliseconds. Simultaneously, an external environmental monitoring system is connected to obtain real-time wind speed. Liquid level change rate and the surface temperature gradient of the floating table The perturbation-response relationship is established using a multivariate linear regression model: ;

[0080] The expected dip angle value, , , The regression coefficients were obtained through offline training using historical normal operating data. The actual... and If the deviation exceeds three times the standard deviation, it is judged as an abnormal change, which may be caused by structural jamming or local instability.

[0081] In step S8, a multi-level dynamic early warning threshold system is set. The first-level early warning threshold... Based on the floating roof design specifications, the typical value is level two; the level two warning threshold. Based on the statistical distribution of historical operating data, take The 99th percentile value over the past 30 days; Level 3 warning threshold. Based on the dynamic rate of change, when Triggered when the intensity of the disturbance exceeds 10 seconds per second. The thresholds at each level are dynamically adjusted based on the intensity of the current environmental disturbance. The specific adjustment rule is as follows: If... meters per second, then and Increase by 15% proportionally; if meters per minute, then Increase by 10%. The warning trigger logic is: when When, a Level 1 warning is triggered; when When, a level-two warning is triggered; when The conditions are met and When the event occurs, a Level 3 warning is triggered. The warning response process includes: highlighting the over-limit monitoring unit in yellow, orange, and red on the monitoring interface; generating a warning report containing the current tilt field heat map, over-limit values, the trend of change within 10 minutes, environmental disturbance parameters, and possible cause analysis; triggering the audible and visual alarm device; and completely recording the event to the historical database, including timestamps, all raw data from sensors, fusion results, warning level, and operator confirmation status.

[0082] The aforementioned method integrates a full-chain technology framework, including gridded multi-point sensing, spatiotemporal synchronization, spatial verification, adaptive weighting, dynamic modeling, and intelligent early warning, to achieve global, accurate, and robust monitoring of the tilt angle of large floating roofs. This method effectively overcomes the limitations of single-point monitoring, suppresses the influence of local interference, distinguishes between environmental disturbances and structural anomalies, and significantly reduces false alarms and missed alarms through dynamic thresholds, providing a reliable guarantee for the safe operation of large oil tanks.

[0083] This invention also discloses a system for performing the above-described method. The system includes a terminal sensor network, a central processing unit, an environmental monitoring interface, an early warning output module, and a historical database. The terminal sensor network consists of no fewer than 36 high-precision dual-axis tilt sensors, evenly distributed on the surface of the floating dock. Each sensor integrates temperature sensing and time synchronization functions. The central processing unit is an industrial-grade embedded computer equipped with a multi-core processor and large-capacity memory, running a real-time operating system to perform data reception, preprocessing, model building, fusion calculation, dynamic modeling, and early warning judgment. The environmental monitoring interface connects to an anemometer, level gauge, and temperature sensor network via standard industrial protocols to acquire external disturbance data. The early warning output module includes a graphical user interface, an audible and visual alarm, and a remote communication interface for human-computer interaction and information push. The historical database adopts a relational database management system to store all raw data, intermediate results, and early warning events, supporting queries and backtracking by time, location, and early warning level. The system, through a hard real-time architecture, ensures that the end-to-end latency from data acquisition to early warning output does not exceed 200 milliseconds, meeting the timeliness requirements for large floating dock safety monitoring.
