[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for calculating the residual value of equipment. The method involves acquiring equipment information, specifically information corresponding to the equipment whose residual value is to be calculated; selecting a residual value calculation method based on the equipment information, thereby equipping different equipment with suitable calculation methods and improving the accuracy of residual value calculation; when the selected residual value calculation method is a machine learning method, a feature set is constructed using the equipment information, and the feature set is processed by a machine learning model to obtain a first equipment residual value; when the selected residual value calculation method is a replacement cost method, a baseline residual value is obtained based on the equipment information, a depreciation rate is calculated based on the equipment information, and a second equipment residual value is calculated based on the baseline residual value and the depreciation rate. This method automates the calculation of equipment residual value, reduces manual intervention, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of equipment residual value calculation.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 In one exemplary embodiment, a method for calculating the residual value of equipment is provided, which is applied to the residual value assessment scenario of used equipment. The method may include the following steps: S101: Obtain device information, wherein the device information is the information corresponding to the device whose residual value is to be calculated.

[0025] Specifically, the process involves acquiring equipment information corresponding to the device whose residual value is to be calculated. This equipment information can include comprehensive data on the device, encompassing static attribute data, dynamic attribute data, and market parameters. Static attribute data includes inherent equipment attributes such as brand, model, tonnage / cubic meter / meter range, manufacturing date, chassis type, power type, and battery brand. Dynamic attribute data includes usage status data such as service life, operating hours, cumulative idle time, recent idle status, condition level, and lock status. Maintenance data includes core component replacement records, number of major overhauls, total number of maintenance visits, and inspection scores. Market parameters can include market environment data, such as regional market dynamics, brand influence, seasonal factors, and provincial factors, as well as transaction and procedural data, such as the purchase price, historical transaction prices, procedural completeness, and transfer status. By acquiring comprehensive data on the equipment whose residual value is to be calculated, inaccurate residual value calculations can be avoided due to incomplete data, such as missing key indicators like condition level. For details on the specific fields, data types, and functions of the equipment information, please refer to Table 1.

[0026] Table 1 The parameters included in the above equipment information are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute a limitation on the equipment information.

[0027] S102: Based on the equipment information, select the residual value calculation method for the equipment whose residual value is to be calculated.

[0028] In this embodiment, the residual value calculation method of the device to be calculated can be selected according to the type of device, thereby improving the compatibility between the device and the algorithm and improving the accuracy of calculating the residual value of the device.

[0029] Specifically, the step of selecting a residual value calculation method for the equipment to be calculated based on the equipment information may include: Based on the equipment information, determine the equipment type; When the equipment type is an excavator, machine learning is selected as the residual value calculation method for the equipment whose residual value is to be calculated. If the equipment type is not an excavator, the replacement cost method is selected as the method for calculating the residual value of the equipment to be calculated.

[0030] In the specific implementation process, the equipment type is determined based on the equipment information. For example, the model number in the equipment information value determines whether the equipment is an excavator. If the equipment type is an excavator, machine learning is selected as the method for calculating the residual value of the equipment to be calculated. If the equipment type is not an excavator, such as a diesel mixer truck or a pump truck, the replacement cost method is selected as the method for calculating the residual value of the equipment to be calculated. A machine learning model is specifically configured for excavators to deeply mine the dynamic data correlations of equipment use and maintenance, thereby achieving accurate calculation of the equipment's residual value. For other types of equipment, a replacement cost method model is specifically configured to calculate the equipment's residual value based on standardized industry rules, improving the accuracy of the calculated equipment residual value.

[0031] S103: When the selected residual value calculation method is machine learning, a feature set is constructed using the equipment information, and the feature set is processed by a machine learning model to obtain the first equipment residual value.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the selected residual value calculation method is machine learning, a feature set is constructed using the device information. The constructed feature set is then input into a machine learning model, which processes the feature set to obtain the first device residual value.

[0033] Specifically, when the selected residual value calculation method is machine learning, the step of constructing a feature set using the equipment information and processing the feature set using a machine learning model to obtain the first equipment residual value may include: Filter key information from the device information and construct a feature set based on the key information; The machine learning model is used to assign corresponding weights to each feature in the feature set. The first equipment residual value is calculated based on the feature set and the corresponding weights.

[0034] In this embodiment, given that the equipment type is an excavator and the residual value calculation method is machine learning, the equipment information can first be cleaned. This includes handling missing values, outliers, and integrating the data to remove outliers and supplement missing values, thereby reducing noise and improving the completeness of the equipment information. The outlier-handled equipment information is then integrated to obtain integrated equipment information. Key information in the integrated equipment information is further filtered. This key information may include equipment brand, tonnage, year of manufacture, service life, working hours, condition rating, new machine sales price, number of repairs, core component replacement status, province, and operating condition. Specifically, the feature importance ranking function of the XGBoost algorithm can be used to filter key features from the integrated equipment information. After obtaining the key information, a feature set is constructed. The specific process of constructing the feature set includes: determining sample units and assigning labels to the samples. For example, if the value to be calculated is the residual value of a piece of equipment, the sample unit can be the equipment information of a piece of equipment, and the assigned label can be residual value. Features are extracted from key information of a device, including numerical, categorical, temporal, and textual features. A feature set is obtained by combining the extracted features with assigned labels. This feature set is then input into a machine learning model, which assigns weights to each feature in the set; for example, a weight of 0.25 is assigned to working hours, 0.22 to years of use, and 0.18 to inspection score. Based on the feature set and its corresponding weights, the machine learning model calculates the first residual value of the device.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to improve the accuracy of the machine learning model in calculating the residual value of the first device, the machine learning model can be trained before assigning corresponding weights to each feature in the feature set through the machine learning model.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, before assigning corresponding weights to each feature in the feature set using a machine learning model, the following steps are also included: Obtain historical device feature data; According to the time parameters of the historical equipment feature data, the historical equipment feature data is divided to obtain the first historical equipment feature data and the second historical equipment feature data. The first historical equipment feature data is used for model training, and the second historical equipment feature data is used for model verification. The first historical device feature data is searched by grid search to obtain N sets of parameter combinations; The N parameter combinations are validated through cross-validation to obtain the parameter combination with the highest score; The initial machine learning model is trained using the parameter combination with the highest score to obtain the trained machine learning model. The trained machine learning model is tested using the second historical device feature data to obtain the machine learning model.

[0037] In practice, historical equipment feature data can be used to train untrained machine learning models. First, historical equipment feature data is acquired, which can include comprehensive historical data about the equipment, such as inherent attributes, usage records, price references, maintenance habits, and images of key components. The historical equipment feature data is then divided according to its time parameters to obtain first and second historical equipment feature data. The first historical equipment feature data is used for model training, and the second historical equipment feature data is used for model validation. This allows for the evaluation of the machine learning model's generalization ability, detection of overfitting, and prevention of data leakage.

[0038] A grid search is used to search the first historical device feature data according to a preset parameter range, obtaining N sets of parameter combinations. Here, N is a positive integer greater than 1. Cross-validation is used to validate the N sets of parameter combinations, obtaining the score for each validation iteration. The average score for each set of parameters is calculated based on these scores. The combination with the highest average score is selected as the optimal parameter combination, i.e., the parameter combination with the highest score. The initial machine learning model is trained using this highest-scoring parameter combination to obtain the trained machine learning model. The trained machine learning model is then tested using the second historical device feature data. If the error between the predicted value output by the trained machine learning model and the preset value is less than a preset error, the machine learning model is considered complete. The preset error can be 15% or 10%, etc., and can be set according to the user's accuracy requirements.

[0039] After calculating the residual value of the first device, the residual value of the first device can be verified using the verification rules corresponding to the first device.

[0040] Specifically, after obtaining the first equipment residual value, the following steps are also included: Obtain the historical transaction prices corresponding to the equipment whose residual value is to be calculated; The residual value of the first equipment is compared with the historical transaction price to obtain the first valuation deviation; If the first valuation deviation is less than a preset deviation threshold, the first equipment residual value is determined to be a first equipment residual value that conforms to the preset rules, and then output.

[0041] In the specific implementation process, the historical transaction price corresponding to the equipment whose residual value is to be calculated is obtained, such as the historical transaction price of other excavator equipment. The residual value of the first equipment is compared with the historical transaction price to obtain a first valuation deviation; if the first valuation deviation is less than a preset deviation threshold, the residual value of the first equipment is determined to be a first equipment residual value that conforms to a preset rule, and is output.

[0042] S104: When the selected residual value calculation method is the replacement cost method, a baseline residual value is obtained based on the equipment information, the depreciation rate is calculated based on the equipment information, and a second equipment residual value is calculated based on the baseline residual value and the depreciation rate.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the equipment type is determined to be a non-excavator and the selected residual value calculation method is the replacement cost method, the baseline residual value can be directly found based on the equipment information, and the depreciation rate can be calculated based on the equipment information. Thus, the second equipment residual value can be calculated based on the baseline residual value and the depreciation rate.

[0044] Among them, reference Figure 2 When the selected residual value calculation method is the replacement cost method, the steps of obtaining a baseline residual value based on the equipment information, calculating the depreciation rate based on the equipment information, and calculating the second equipment residual value based on the baseline residual value and the depreciation rate may specifically include: S1041, Obtain the baseline residual value based on the equipment type and cargo space volume in the equipment information; S1042, Obtain the brand coefficient based on the equipment brand in the equipment information; S1043, Based on the equipment age in the equipment information, obtain the corresponding age depreciation rate and depreciation rate, as well as the corresponding age depreciation rate coefficient and technical condition depreciation rate coefficient; S1044, Obtain the equipment technical condition assessment score and impairment amount based on the equipment information; S1045. The second equipment residual value is calculated based on the benchmark residual value, brand coefficient, age-depreciation rate, depreciation rate, equipment technical condition assessment score, impairment amount, and the corresponding age-depreciation rate coefficient and technical condition depreciation rate coefficient.

[0045] In the specific implementation process, the baseline residual value can be obtained based on the equipment type and cargo space volume in the equipment information. The baseline residual value can be obtained by searching the equipment database based on the equipment type and cargo space volume in the equipment information. The brand coefficient can be obtained based on the equipment brand in the equipment information. Based on the equipment age in the equipment information, the corresponding age-related depreciation rate and depreciation rate, as well as the corresponding age-related depreciation rate coefficient and technical condition depreciation rate coefficient, along with the equipment technical condition assessment score and impairment amount, can be obtained from a preset correspondence table.

[0046] Preset correspondence table The second equipment residual value is calculated based on the benchmark residual value, brand coefficient, age-depreciation rate, depreciation rate, equipment technical condition assessment score, impairment amount, and the corresponding age-depreciation rate coefficient and technical condition depreciation rate coefficient.

[0047] The specific steps for calculating the second equipment residual value based on the benchmark residual value, brand coefficient, age-depreciation rate, depreciation rate, equipment technical condition assessment score, impairment amount, and corresponding age-depreciation rate coefficient and technical condition depreciation rate coefficient include: Multiply the stated age-based depreciation rate by the age-based depreciation rate coefficient to obtain the first product; The second product is obtained based on the technical condition depreciation rate coefficient and the equipment technical condition assessment score; The third product is obtained based on the second product and the depreciation rate; Multiply the brand coefficient and the impairment amount to obtain the fourth product; Add the first product to the third product to obtain a sum, and multiply the sum by the benchmark residual to obtain a fifth product; Subtracting the fifth product from the fourth product yields the second equipment residual value.

[0048] In the specific implementation process, the first product is obtained by multiplying the current age depreciation rate by the current age depreciation rate coefficient; the second product is obtained based on the technical condition depreciation rate coefficient and the equipment technical condition assessment score. Specifically, the equipment technical condition assessment score is divided by 100 to obtain the equipment technical condition assessment percentage, and the equipment technical condition assessment percentage is multiplied by the technical condition depreciation rate coefficient to obtain the second product. The third product is obtained based on the second product and the depreciation rate. Specifically, the difference between 1 and the depreciation rate is calculated, and the difference is multiplied by the second product to obtain the third product. The fourth product is obtained by multiplying the brand coefficient and the impairment amount; the first and third products are added together to obtain a sum, and the sum is multiplied by the baseline residual value to obtain a fifth product; the second equipment residual value is obtained by subtracting the fifth product from the fourth product. The specific formula for calculating the second equipment residual value is as follows: W = R×(α×c + β×(X / 100))×(1 - D) - F × γ Where W is the residual value of the second equipment, R is the baseline residual value, α is the age-related depreciation rate coefficient, β is the technical condition depreciation rate coefficient, and α + β = 1. C is the age-related depreciation rate, which is determined by querying the corresponding residual value rate based on the equipment's service life.

[0049] X represents the equipment's technical condition assessment score, ranging from [0, 100]. D represents the depreciation rate. F represents the impairment amount, including material and labor costs required to replace parts or restore functionality. γ represents the brand coefficient.

[0050] Assuming the equipment has a service life of 4 years, the depreciation rate is c = 45%, α = 0.6, β = 0.4, and the technical condition score is X = 82 points; the depreciation rate is D = 35%; and the brand coefficient is γ = 0.96. Substituting these values ​​into the formula W = R × (α × c + β × (X / 100)) × (1 - D) - F × γ, we get W = 62 × (0.6 × 0.45 + 0.4 × 0.82) × (1 - 0.35) - 3 × 0.96 ≈ 62 × (0.27 + 0.328) × 0.65 - 2.88 ≈ 62 × 0.598 × 0.65 - 2.88 ≈ 241,000.

[0051] After calculating the residual value of the second device, the residual value of the second device can be verified using the verification rules for the second device.

[0052] Specifically, after calculating the residual value of the second equipment, the following steps are also included: Obtain the industry-specific threshold for the equipment; The residual value of the third equipment is calculated based on the industry rule threshold. The residual value of the second equipment is compared with the residual value of the third equipment to obtain the second valuation deviation; If the second valuation deviation is less than the preset deviation threshold, the second equipment residual value is determined to be the second equipment residual value that conforms to the preset rules, and then output.

[0053] In the specific implementation process, by obtaining the equipment industry rule threshold, it is confirmed whether the second equipment residual value conforms to the preset rules, that is, whether the second equipment residual value is accurate. The equipment industry rule threshold can be the upper limit of the depreciation rate or the fluctuation range of the benchmark price. When the depreciation rate and benchmark price are at their upper limits, they are substituted into the calculation formula for the second equipment residual value to calculate the third equipment residual value. The second equipment residual value is compared with the third equipment residual value to obtain the second valuation deviation. If the second valuation deviation is less than the preset deviation threshold, the second equipment residual value is determined to conform to the preset rules, that is, the calculated accurate second equipment residual value, and is output. The preset deviation threshold can be set according to actual conditions, such as according to the user's deviation requirements.

[0054] Based on the method provided in the above embodiments, by acquiring equipment information, which is information corresponding to the equipment whose residual value is to be calculated; selecting a residual value calculation method for the equipment based on the equipment information, thereby equipping different equipment with suitable calculation methods and improving the accuracy of residual value calculation; when the selected residual value calculation method is a machine learning method, a feature set is constructed using the equipment information, and the feature set is processed by a machine learning model to obtain a first equipment residual value; when the selected residual value calculation method is the replacement cost method, a baseline residual value is obtained based on the equipment information, a depreciation rate is calculated based on the equipment information, and a second equipment residual value is calculated based on the baseline residual value and the depreciation rate. This achieves automated calculation of equipment residual values, reduces manual intervention, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of calculating equipment residual values.
