Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermoelectric Internet of Things (IoT) safety technology, specifically to an intelligent analysis system for heat meter calibration data based on multi-parameter simulation of heating. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the centralized heating industry, household heat meters, as core metering instruments for trade settlement, directly affect the vital interests of heating companies and residents in terms of measurement accuracy and operational stability. They also significantly impact the energy conservation, emission reduction, and standardized operation of heating systems. However, the heating industry currently faces numerous prominent problems in the use and calibration of heat meters, severely hindering the industry's high-quality development.

[0003] On the one hand, the actual operating environment of heat meters is complex and variable, and the accuracy of metering is affected by multiple coupled factors, making it difficult for traditional verification methods to fully cover actual operating conditions. Residential heat meters, in their long-term use, not only face the influence of external conditions such as differences in pipe network water quality (e.g., calcium and magnesium ion content, sediment, rust, and other impurities), fluctuations in supply and return water temperatures, and uneven flow rates in the pipes, but also the effects of internal factors such as battery degradation and disassembly / removal wear, resulting in a persistently high failure rate. During the trade settlement statement rectification campaign, a large number of faulty heat meters were detected, and the metering accuracy of heat meters that had not undergone regular verification lacked effective verification. Traditional heat meter verification is mostly based on a single standard operating condition, only testing metering performance under fixed parameters, and cannot simulate the complex scenarios of multiple coupled parameters in actual operation. This leads to a disconnect between verification results and the actual usage state of the heat meters, making it difficult to reveal the independent influence and interaction of various factors on metering errors, and failing to provide a scientific basis for heat meter error correction.

[0004] On the other hand, the heat meter market is rife with numerous brands and varying quality, lacking a unified and standardized performance evaluation system. Furthermore, data collection and analysis methods are outdated, leading to inefficient operation and maintenance management. According to feedback from heating companies, different brands of heat meters exhibit significant differences in failure rates, maintenance difficulty, and environmental adaptability. However, existing evaluations largely rely on manual experience or simple data comparisons, lacking multi-dimensional and quantitative comprehensive evaluation models. This makes it difficult to objectively reflect the actual performance level of heat meters, causing significant difficulties for heating companies in procurement and selection. In addition, the inconsistent communication protocols of different brands of heat meters result in cumbersome data collection processes, poor compatibility, and an inability to achieve unified collection and standardized processing of batch data. Traditional analysis methods are often limited to simple statistics of single parameters, failing to achieve accurate tracing of metering errors, early warning of battery life, and timely fault diagnosis. This leads to a series of problems such as frequent metering disputes, high operation and maintenance costs, and energy waste.

[0005] With the increasing national requirements for energy conservation and emission reduction in the heating industry, and the urgent need for heating companies to improve operational efficiency and service quality, the limitations of traditional heat meter calibration methods in terms of operating condition coverage, data processing, analysis and evaluation are becoming increasingly apparent. There is an urgent need for a heat meter calibration system that can simulate complex multi-parameter coupled operating conditions, realize intelligent data analysis, and provide comprehensive performance evaluation and accurate optimization suggestions to fill the existing technological gap and promote the standardized, scientific and intelligent development of metering management in the heating industry.

[0024] (I) Multi-parameter operating condition simulation module 100 The multi-parameter operating condition simulation module 100 is deployed in the heating operating condition simulation laboratory. It consists of a water quality simulation unit, a temperature regulation unit, a flow rate control unit, a battery power regulation unit, and a central controller. It can dynamically generate preset multi-parameter coupled operating condition environments.

[0025] Water quality simulation unit: A high-precision metering pump adds calcium and magnesium ion solution (a mixture of calcium chloride and magnesium chloride), sediment suspension (particle size 0.01-0.1 mm), and rust particles (Fe2O3 content ≥95%) to the circulating water system to simulate water quality with different hardness and impurity contents. Water hardness is adjusted based on a concentration change function. To achieve precise control, for example, when the target hardness is 500 mg / L (calculated as CaCO3) and the initial hardness is 50 mg / L, k is set to 0.02 min. -1 (Calibrated using a system volume of 500L and an addition rate of 1L / min), this function allows the target concentration to be reached smoothly within 60 minutes, avoiding the impact of sudden changes in water quality on the heat exchanger. The water hardness adjustment range is 0-1000mg / L, and the impurity content adjustment range is 0-50g / m³, with real-time feedback on the adjustment effect via an online conductivity meter.

It simulates different power states such as new battery (6.0V), half-charge (4.5V), and low charge (3.3V), and collects battery voltage decay data in real time.

[0031] Data Acquisition Parameters and Accuracy: Two types of data are acquired in real time: First, the metering response data of the tested household heat meter 300, including instantaneous flow rate (m³ / h), cumulative flow rate (m³), supply and return water temperature (°C), calculated heat (GJ), and instantaneous fault codes; second, operating condition parameter data, including pipeline pressure (MPa), standard meter flow rate (m³ / h), system temperature (°C), flow velocity (m / s), water conductivity (μS / cm), and battery voltage (V). The acquisition frequency can be configured within the range of 1-10Hz, with a default acquisition frequency of 5Hz. The data acquisition accuracy is ±0.001%FS, ensuring synchronization with standard metering data.

[0032] Data transmission: The acquisition terminal is connected to the data aggregation gateway via a shielded cable. The gateway uses an edge computing chip (ARM Cortex-A53) to perform preliminary filtering of the raw data (removing data that is obviously beyond the measurement range) and then transmits it to the data processing and storage module 400 via Ethernet or 4G module.

[0033] (III) Data Processing and Storage Module 400 The data processing and storage module 400 consists of an industrial server (CPU Intel Xeon E3-1230, memory 16GB, hard disk 4TB SSD) and data processing software. Its core functions include data storage, cleaning, alignment and standardization.

[0034] Data storage: The system uses a MySQL database to store both raw and processed data. It supports retrieval by heat table number, test time, operating condition type, and other dimensions. The data retention period is no less than 5 years, which meets the requirements for verification and traceability.

[0035] Data cleaning: For missing data, linear interpolation is used. Fill in; for abnormal data (such as instantaneous traffic surges of more than 10 times), use the 3σ criterion to identify and mark them, do not delete them directly, and preserve the integrity of the original data.

[0036] Data alignment and standardization: Based on the collection timestamp of the standard table, the metering data of the tested household heat meter 300 are time aligned (accuracy ±1ms); parameters of different magnitudes (such as temperature, flow rate, hardness) are standardized (normalized to the [0,1] interval) to provide a structured test dataset for the intelligent analysis core module 500.

The predicted RUL (Relative Voltage Limit) is less than the safety threshold. Mark the battery risk at the end of the month.

[0047] (v) Calibration Optimization Recommendation Module 600 The calibration optimization suggestion module 600 generates dynamic calibration compensation coefficients based on the output of the operating condition coupling effect analysis unit 510. For example, regarding a certain brand of heat exchanger in high hardness ( mg / L), high temperature ℃, low flow rate The systematic positive error under the m / s condition is obtained by fitting the error sensitivity coefficient. , , Substitute into the formula: Calculations yielded This coefficient can be written into the heat meter calibration register to correct measurement errors.
