Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer data processing technology, and in particular to a method for early fault identification and warning of sprinkler irrigation machines based on intelligent diagnostic technology. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the alarm mechanisms widely used in sprinkler system fault detection are typically based on numerical thresholds. This method sets a normal operating range for sensor values; when a sensor detects a value exceeding the threshold, the system triggers an alarm and issues a fault warning. However, this threshold-based approach has significant limitations. It usually only triggers an alarm when a fault occurs or is about to occur, failing to provide timely warnings in the early stages of a fault or when potential problems arise. For example, when a sliding sprinkler slips due to insufficient ground friction during operation, causing a positional shift, the alarm system is often not triggered immediately. Only when the shift reaches a certain level will the system recognize the fault, making preventative maintenance difficult and potentially causing missed optimal adjustment opportunities.

[0003] Neural network methods primarily focus on fault identification using a single data source, especially one-dimensional data, such as using current detection to determine the health status of a motor. While this method can effectively identify faults in certain specific situations, it cannot fully leverage the advantages of multiple data sources for comprehensive analysis. Faults in sprinkler irrigation machines may involve multiple aspects, such as the motor, transmission system, and control system, and these different data sources often have close interrelationships. Traditional neural network methods fail to integrate this diverse sensor data, resulting in insufficient dynamic adaptability during fault identification. They cannot track various changes in the equipment in complex operating environments in real time, and their robustness and accuracy are insufficient when dealing with complex faults.

[0004] Furthermore, to achieve comprehensive fault monitoring, sprinkler systems typically require the installation of multiple different types of sensors, including those for monitoring voltage, current, temperature, vibration, and position. The installation of these sensors usually necessitates invasive modifications to the sprinkler system, increasing its complexity. Additionally, installing a large number of sensors incurs high costs and engineering workload, leaving room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a method for early fault identification and early warning of sprinkler irrigation machines based on intelligent diagnostic technology. It uses a multi-node synchronous acquisition and dynamic perception strategy to obtain high-quality data, and combines a multi-task deep learning model guided by physical knowledge to perform intelligent diagnosis. This method can achieve high-precision, adaptive, and low-false-alarm early warning of various faults in sprinkler irrigation machines.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Firstly, a method for early fault identification and warning of sprinkler irrigation machines based on intelligent diagnostic technology is provided. The method is applied to a warning terminal and includes:

[0008] The early warning terminal collects synchronous sensor data from multiple nodes that characterize the fault propagation model of the physical structure of the self-propelled sprinkler irrigation machine, and analyzes the synchronous sensor data based on the fault propagation model to generate a dynamic acquisition strategy.

[0009] The early warning terminal performs feature extraction and cross-modal fusion on the synchronous sensor data according to the dynamic acquisition strategy to generate a fused feature sequence.

[0010] The early warning terminal inputs the fused feature sequence into a multi-task deep learning model, processes the fused feature sequence through the multi-task deep learning model to output a fault probability, and generates an early warning signal based on the fault probability.

[0011] Optionally, the step of the early warning terminal collecting synchronous sensor data from multiple nodes includes:

[0012] Using the clock signal of the Global Navigation Satellite System as a synchronization trigger source, data acquisition devices at multiple nodes are simultaneously activated to collect raw sensor signals.

[0013] The original sensor signal is de-drifted at the edge to generate vibration data and attitude data.

[0014] The vibration and attitude data are written into a circular buffer to form traceable synchronous sensor data.

[0015] Optionally, the step of analyzing the synchronous sensor data based on the fault propagation model to generate a dynamic acquisition strategy includes:

[0016] Based on the fault propagation model, the propagation path and time relationship of the fault between nodes are determined, forming a fault transmission chain;

[0017] Real-time monitoring of the synchronization sensor data of the initial node in the fault transmission chain to identify abnormal features;

[0018] When the abnormal features are identified, the associated nodes are activated and the sampling frequency is increased according to the fault transmission chain to form the dynamic acquisition strategy. The abnormal features include abnormal slipping posture of walking deviation, deterioration of drive motor transmission due to drive failure, and abnormal nozzle blockage.

[0019] Optionally, the step of performing feature extraction and cross-modal fusion on the synchronous sensor data according to the dynamic acquisition strategy includes:

[0020] The increase in vibration amplitude and the expansion of bandwidth in the vibration signal of the drive fault analysis indicate that the vibration energy is often concentrated in the mid-to-high frequency range, accompanied by the rise of the main peak in the envelope spectrum.

[0021] For the analysis of walking deviation faults, the attitude sensor was used to detect abnormal fluctuations in angular velocity and pitch angle, whether the low-frequency energy ratio of the attitude signal increased, and whether the change in sway amplitude was symmetrical.

[0022] For nozzle clogging faults, analyze pressure changes, which generate irregular fluctuations in vibration signals, and analyze the energy drift of low-frequency and mid-frequency components in vibration signals, as well as the enhancement of sidebands and frequency drift in the spectrum.

[0023] Based on the dynamic acquisition strategy, time-domain and frequency-domain features are extracted from the synchronous sensor data;

[0033] The spatial texture and the aligned multi-source feature matrix are channel-integrated and compressed to generate the fused feature sequence.

[0034] Optionally, the step of inputting the fused feature sequence into the dynamic temporal attention module includes:

[0035] The fused feature sequences are linearly transformed to generate a query matrix, a key matrix, and a value matrix.

[0036] The similarity calculation between the query matrix and the key matrix is ​​guided by the fault propagation model to generate attention weights;

[0037] The attention weights are weighted and summed with the value matrix, and then processed through residual connections and layer normalization to generate the enhanced feature sequence.

[0038] Optionally, the step of generating a warning signal based on the fault probability includes:

[0039] The fault probabilities are processed by an exponentially weighted moving average to generate a smoothed fault score;

[0040] Obtain a trigger threshold and a release threshold to construct a dynamic threshold;

[0041] The smooth fault score is compared with the dynamic threshold. When the smooth fault score is consistently higher than the trigger threshold but not lower than the release threshold, the warning signal is generated.

[0042] Optionally, it also includes steps for online learning and adaptive updates:

[0043] Construct a digital shadow model and monitor the deviation between the output of the multi-task deep learning model and the simulation expectation of the digital shadow model;

[0044] When the deviation exceeds the tolerance, incremental learning is triggered;

[0045] The model parameters and dynamic threshold of the multi-task deep learning model are updated through mini-batch fine-tuning and shadow verification.

[0046] Secondly, a sprinkler irrigation machine early fault identification and warning system based on intelligent diagnostic technology is provided, the system being configured as follows:

[0047] A multi-node data acquisition module is used to acquire fault propagation models and synchronous sensor data, and generate dynamic acquisition strategies;

[0048] The feature processing module is used to process the synchronous sensor data according to the dynamic acquisition strategy to generate a fused feature sequence;

[0049] The intelligent early warning module is equipped with a multi-task deep learning model to process the fused feature sequence to output the fault probability and generate an early warning signal;

[0050] An online update module is used to monitor the performance of the intelligent early warning module and update it adaptively.

[0051] Thirdly, an electronic device is provided, comprising: a processor and a memory; the memory is used to store a computer program, which, when executed by the processor, causes the electronic device to perform the sprinkler machine early fault identification and warning method based on intelligent diagnostic technology described in the first aspect.

[0052] In one possible design, the electronic device described in the third aspect may further include a transceiver. This transceiver may be a transceiver circuit or an interface circuit. The transceiver can be used for communication between the electronic device described in the third aspect and other electronic devices.

[0053] In the embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device described in the third aspect may be a terminal, or a chip (system) or other component or assembly disposed in the terminal, or a system containing the terminal.

[0054] Fourthly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, comprising: a computer program or instructions; when the computer program or instructions are run on a computer, the computer causes the computer to perform the method for early fault identification and early warning of sprinkler irrigation machines based on intelligent diagnostic technology as described in the first aspect.

[0055] In summary, the above methods and systems have the following technical effects:

[0056] This invention solves the problems of feature distortion and decision conflict caused by spatiotemporal inconsistency of data by multi-node synchronous acquisition and cross-modal fusion. By aligning high-frequency vibration signals with low-frequency attitude signals in time and deeply fusing them at the feature level, it can accurately identify complex faults and early weak fault signs, improve the accuracy and sensitivity of early warning, allocate sensing resources as needed according to the transmission path of potential faults, guide deep learning models to focus on key information, effectively adapt to complex and ever-changing field conditions and equipment aging processes, and ensure the reliability and interpretability of diagnostic decisions while reducing system power consumption and data redundancy.

This terminal device can also be referred to as user equipment (UE), access terminal equipment, subscriber unit, user station, mobile station (MS), mobile station, remote station, remote terminal equipment, mobile device, user terminal equipment, terminal equipment, wireless communication equipment, user agent, or user device.

Alternatively, the terminal device may also be a customer-premises equipment (CPE).

[0071] The early warning terminal communicates with corresponding synchronization sensors, which can be intelligent sensors with signal receiving and transmitting capabilities, such as... Figure 3 As shown, 1 is a sensor unit (including attitude and vibration sensors), and 2 is a data acquisition unit with a data transceiver module, used to receive and transmit the data from the sensor unit to the early warning terminal.

[0072] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. A method for early fault identification and warning of a sprinkler irrigation machine based on intelligent diagnostic technology, the method being applied to an early warning terminal, the method comprising:

[0073] The early warning terminal collects synchronous sensor data from multiple nodes that characterize the fault propagation model of the physical structure of the self-propelled sprinkler irrigation machine, and analyzes the synchronous sensor data based on the fault propagation model to generate a dynamic acquisition strategy.

[0074] The early warning terminal performs feature extraction and cross-modal fusion on the synchronous sensor data according to the dynamic acquisition strategy to generate a fused feature sequence.

[0075] The early warning terminal inputs the fused feature sequence into a multi-task deep learning model, processes the fused feature sequence through the multi-task deep learning model to output a fault probability, and generates an early warning signal based on the fault probability.

[0076] In this multi-task deep learning model, spatial feature encoding uses a multi-scale convolutional coding network as a shared backbone. The coding network consists of several parallel convolutional branches, each configured with a different receptive field and stride to capture multi-scale structures ranging from mid-to-high frequency modes such as tooth meshing and bearing impact to low frequency modes such as slow posture fluctuations. The outputs of each branch are channel-joined and pointwise convolutionally compressed, and then residual connections and random dropout are superimposed to suppress overfitting. When the input is a time-frequency map, the convolution is performed on the time-frequency plane, thereby simultaneously modeling spectral texture and temporal evolution.

[0077] To enhance the discriminability of time dependencies and reduce the impact of irrelevant perturbations, a dynamic temporal attention module is set up before entering the temporal unit. This module uses the encoded feature sequence as the key, value, and query to calculate multi-head attention weights, enabling the model to assign higher weights to segments at key moments (such as 1× order enhancement, GMF sideband appearance, low-frequency energy surge, or frequency centroid drift) based on the context. The attention output is stabilized through gating residuals and layer normalization training, and the attention weights are used as a side-channel supervision signal to explain the model's decisions.

[0078] The temporal modeling part adopts a bidirectional long short-term memory network (Bi-LSTM). Compared with simple recurrent units, the input gate, forget gate and output gate structure of LSTM can effectively alleviate the gradient vanishing problem in long sequences, thus preserving both the low-frequency trend caused by slow-changing conditions and the transient mode caused by intermittent impacts. The model uses two to three stacked Bi-LSTM layers to perform forward and backward modeling on the attention-enhanced feature sequence, and finally performs pooling or extracts the terminal state in the time dimension to form a temporal representation vector for the current window.

[0079] At the task level, the model has multiple parallel decision branches, corresponding to fault types such as drive failure and nozzle blockage. Each branch consists of one or two layers of lightweight fully connected networks and a Sigmoid or Softmax output, providing the fault probability or anomaly score for that window. To adapt to early warning requirements, the model adds a temporal smoothing and hysteresis mechanism to the output of each branch: the scores of multiple consecutive windows are compared with an adaptive threshold after being exponentially weighted by a moving average. When the score continuously exceeds the trigger threshold but does not fall below the release threshold, it is determined to be a valid alarm, thereby reducing false triggers caused by jitter.

[0080] Multi-task training employs a Dynamic Weighted Average (DWA) strategy to adaptively balance the losses of each task, avoiding performance degradation caused by single-task-dominated optimization. The overall loss is composed of the binary cross-entropy or focus loss of each branch, attention sparsity regularization, and temporal consistency constraints. Among these, the consistency constraints encourage adjacent window predictions to remain smooth when there are no drastic changes in operating conditions, and allow rapid transitions at fault edges. During training, online data augmentation is also employed to improve generalization ability, including amplitude random scaling, small frequency drift, band-limited noise injection, and random masking of missing sample segments to simulate installation differences and communication jitter in the field.

[0081] In terms of multi-node fusion, the model utilizes the unified timestamp of GNSS to stitch together inputs from windows of the same time from different installation points along the channel dimension to share the backbone. Alternatively, attention-based cross-node aggregation can be set after the time-series layer, enabling the model to learn the spatial association patterns between the drive end and the cantilever center. When operating parameters such as rotational speed are available, the system can also perform order resampling during the preprocessing stage, standardizing the frequency axis to the order domain to improve the alignment robustness of feature lines (such as 1× and GMF) under variable speed conditions.

[0082] Optionally, the step of the early warning terminal collecting synchronous sensor data from multiple nodes includes:

[0083] Using the clock signal of the Global Navigation Satellite System as a synchronization trigger source, data acquisition devices at multiple nodes are simultaneously activated to collect raw sensor signals.

[0084] The original sensor signal is de-drifted at the edge to generate vibration data and attitude data.

[0085] The vibration and attitude data are written into a circular buffer to form traceable synchronous sensor data.

[0086] Optionally, the step of analyzing the synchronous sensor data based on the fault propagation model to generate a dynamic acquisition strategy includes:

[0087] Based on the fault propagation model, the propagation path and time relationship of the fault between nodes are determined, forming a fault transmission chain;

[0088] Real-time monitoring of the synchronization sensor data of the initial node in the fault transmission chain to identify abnormal features;

[0089] When the abnormal features are identified, the associated nodes are activated and the sampling frequency is increased according to the fault transmission chain to form the dynamic acquisition strategy. The abnormal features include abnormal slipping posture of walking deviation, deterioration of drive motor transmission due to drive failure, and abnormal nozzle blockage.

[0090] Optionally, the step of performing feature extraction and cross-modal fusion on the synchronous sensor data according to the dynamic acquisition strategy includes:

[0091] The increase in vibration amplitude and the expansion of bandwidth in the vibration signal of the drive fault analysis indicate that the vibration energy is often concentrated in the mid-to-high frequency range, accompanied by the rise of the main peak in the envelope spectrum.

[0092] For the analysis of walking deviation faults, the attitude sensor was used to detect abnormal fluctuations in angular velocity and pitch angle, whether the low-frequency energy ratio of the attitude signal increased, and whether the change in sway amplitude was symmetrical.

[0093] For nozzle clogging faults, analyze pressure changes, which generate irregular fluctuations in vibration signals, and analyze the energy drift of low-frequency and mid-frequency components in vibration signals, as well as the enhancement of sidebands and frequency drift in the spectrum.

[0094] Based on the dynamic acquisition strategy, time-domain and frequency-domain features are extracted from the synchronous sensor data;

[0095] The time-domain features and the frequency-domain features are used to construct a multi-source feature matrix;

[0096] The multi-source feature matrix is ​​subjected to dynamic time warping and channel splicing to generate the fused feature sequence.

[0097] Specifically, in order to accurately identify these faults, feature extraction will comprehensively analyze the vibration and attitude signals from multiple perspectives, including the time domain, frequency domain, and time-frequency domain, and construct a sliding window (length T, step size Δ) to calculate features window by window.

[0098] Temporal feature extraction primarily focuses on the amplitude fluctuations and temporal variations of the signal. Temporal features (such as...)

[0099] Variance, kurtosis, and mean, etc. These time-domain characteristics can be represented as follows:

[0100]

[0101] Where, xi Let μ be the i-th sampling point, μ be the mean, and σ be the standard deviation.

[0102] Frequency domain feature extraction is crucial for detecting nozzle blockage, as it reveals the energy distribution of vibration signals across different frequency ranges. This is especially important because blockage can weaken the signal strength. Frequency domain features (such as spectrum, power spectral density, frequency center, and spectral flatness) can be extracted using methods like Fourier transform and by calculating relevant statistics to capture the frequency components of the signal.

[0103]

[0104] Where: X(f): is the spectral value at frequency f.

[0105] P(f): is the power spectral density at frequency f.

[0106] Csc: is the frequency center, reflecting the frequency "center of gravity" of the signal.

[0107] Fsf: Spectral flatness, which measures the flatness of the signal spectrum.

[0108] Furthermore, the construction of the feature matrix includes:

[0109] After extracting the time-domain and frequency-domain features, they are constructed into a feature matrix for subsequent model training and analysis. Each row of the feature matrix represents a pipeline leak signal sample, and each column represents a feature. The feature matrix includes the following:

[0110] Time-domain characteristics: such as the signal's mean, variance, kurtosis, etc.

[0111] Frequency domain characteristics: such as the dominant frequency of the spectrum, power spectral density, frequency center, etc.

[0112] Other statistics include energy distribution and spectral flatness of the spectrum.

[0113] Finally, all extracted features will be combined into a matrix, represented as follows:

[0114] f i = [x1,x2,…,x n ]

[0115] Optionally, the step of performing dynamic time warping and channel concatenation on the multi-source feature matrix includes:

[0116] Based on the temporal relationships defined in the fault propagation model, the multi-source feature matrix is ​​aligned in the time dimension.

[0117] The aligned multi-source feature matrix is ​​input into a multi-scale convolutional coding network to extract spatial texture;

[0118] The spatial texture and the aligned multi-source feature matrix are channel-integrated and compressed to generate the fused feature sequence.

[0119] Optionally, the step of performing dynamic time warping and channel concatenation on the multi-source feature matrix includes:

[0120] Based on the temporal relationships defined in the fault propagation model, the multi-source feature matrix is ​​aligned in the time dimension.

[0121] The aligned multi-source feature matrix is ​​input into a multi-scale convolutional coding network to extract spatial texture;

[0122] The spatial texture and the aligned multi-source feature matrix are channel-integrated and compressed to generate the fused feature sequence.

[0123] Optionally, the step of inputting the fused feature sequence into the dynamic temporal attention module includes:

[0124] The fused feature sequences are linearly transformed to generate a query matrix, a key matrix, and a value matrix.

[0125] The similarity calculation between the query matrix and the key matrix is ​​guided by the fault propagation model to generate attention weights;

[0126] The attention weights are weighted and summed with the value matrix, and then processed through residual connections and layer normalization to generate the enhanced feature sequence.

[0127] Optionally, the step of generating a warning signal based on the fault probability includes:

[0128] The fault probabilities are processed by an exponentially weighted moving average to generate a smoothed fault score;

[0129] Obtain a trigger threshold and a release threshold to construct a dynamic threshold;

[0130] The smooth fault score is compared with the dynamic threshold. When the smooth fault score is consistently higher than the trigger threshold but not lower than the release threshold, the warning signal is generated.

[0131] Optionally, it also includes steps for online learning and adaptive updates:

[0132] Construct a digital shadow model and monitor the deviation between the output of the multi-task deep learning model and the simulation expectation of the digital shadow model;

[0133] When the deviation exceeds the tolerance, incremental learning is triggered;
