Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of data processing and analysis, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and intelligent manufacturing, and specifically relates to a method and system for monitoring diesel engine rail pressure anomalies based on multi-subspace slow feature analysis. Background Technology
[0002] Modern diesel engines commonly employ high-pressure common rail fuel injection systems, renowned for their precise injection timing, flexible injection patterns, and extremely high injection pressure. Rail pressure, as one of the key control variables of this system, is the core of the high-pressure common rail system and even the entire diesel engine control system. The dynamic response characteristics and steady-state accuracy of the rail pressure directly determine the quality and consistency of fuel injection. Monitoring the rail pressure signal and promptly, or even in advance, detecting anomalies is crucial for the precise and stable control of the diesel engine.
[0003] In recent years, with the development of technologies such as microcontrollers, sensors, data acquisition, artificial intelligence, and 4G / 5G, signal acquisition and data processing have become easier. Anomaly monitoring methods based on multivariate statistics, as an important branch of data-driven methods, do not require precise system models or in-depth structural principles, and their algorithms are simple and easy to implement. Therefore, they have been applied in engineering practice, gradually realizing remote monitoring and diagnosis of diesel engine operating status. However, most methods only perform simple monitoring and classification of rail pressure operating status, without considering the quality variables in the rail pressure monitoring process. Furthermore, they only perform static analysis of faults, ignoring the dynamic changes of variables and the differences between different samples. This significantly reduces the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the detection results, leading to low reliability of fault diagnosis conclusions. Summary of the Invention

If it does, proceed to the next step. 3) Based on mechanistic knowledge, variables are selected from dataset i to form the process variable set X and the quality variable set Y; 4) Calculate the grey relational degree between each process variable and each quality variable, and construct the grey relational degree matrix GR; 5) Divide the quality-related subspace according to the GR threshold of the grey relational degree matrix. Mass-independent subspace ; 6) In the mass-related subspace Within, the dynamic dissimilarity index (DDI) for each variable is calculated based on the mean and skewness; 7) Based on the DDI value The variables within are sorted, and a high-contribution subspace is divided according to their contribution rate. and low contribution subspace ; 8) In subspace , , Slow feature analysis is performed separately in each subspace to calculate the monitoring statistics and corresponding control limits for each subspace; 9) Based on conditional probability, perform weighted fusion of multidimensional quality variables, calculate fusion statistics and control limits, and determine whether each subspace has a fault; 10) Output the monitoring conclusion of abnormal rail pressure of diesel engine.
[0006] In step 2), if the evaluation dataset i cannot meet the training requirements of the monitoring algorithm, then return to step 1.

Variables representing the normal state, It is a random variable The average value, for standard deviation For the sample size, For quality-related sub-blocks The number of variables contained within; The mean, This refers to the skewness.

By improving the basic slow feature algorithm, refined online monitoring of rail pressure signal control quality is achieved. Then, a weighted fusion method is developed using a distributed modeling strategy to integrate the static and dynamic features of the signal and fuse multiple quality monitoring results from three subspaces. This solves the problems of poor dynamics and real-time performance in rail pressure monitoring, and difficulty in measuring rail pressure signal quality, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of diesel engine rail pressure signal monitoring.
[0019] Specifically, the following steps are included: 1) Obtain the real-time operating parameter information of the diesel engine and perform data resampling and standardization to obtain the recombined dataset i; 2) Based on the recombined dataset i, evaluate whether dataset i can meet the training requirements of the monitoring algorithm in terms of variable dimensions, sample size, missing values, and data units.

The method for calculating the grey relational degree matrix GR is as follows: in, For the process variable set X ( The i-th variable and the k-th sample, For the set of quality variables Y ( The j-th variable and the k-th sample, The resolution coefficient is given according to the actual situation. . For the k-th sample, and Grey relational degree, for and The grey relational vector, For the process variable set X and The grey relational matrix.

The calculation method is as follows: Control limits are set to determine whether a fault has occurred in each subspace, and the quality variable set Y is tested separately. Steps 4)-8) are executed for the p variables in the p-dimensional mass variables to complete the monitoring of rail pressure anomalies. 9) Based on the monitoring results corresponding to the p-dimensional quality variables obtained in step 8), calculate the fusion statistic. and fusion control limits Based on conditional probability, a weighted average is applied to determine whether each subspace in the fused system has experienced a fault.

This represents the number of sample points whose statistic exceeds the control limit. The control limit is the quality statistic under normal conditions. If the proportion of the b-th quality variable that exceeds the normal state is high, it indicates that the variable has a significant impact on the fault.
