Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydropower station cleaning equipment technology, specifically an intelligent cleaning method and system based on multimodal deep learning. Background Technology

[0002] During the operation of a hydroelectric power station, the intake trash rack area is prone to accumulating large amounts of floating debris such as branches, tall crops, and wood. The main function of the trash rack is to intercept such large or long debris, preventing it from entering the turbine unit and causing equipment damage. At the same time, the continuous accumulation of debris in front of the rack can lead to blockage, resulting in a significant water level difference before and after the rack, which reduces the effective head of the unit and severely reduces the power generation efficiency of the hydroelectric power station.

[0003] To ensure the safety of the generating unit's head and power generation, hydropower stations must promptly remove debris from in front of the trash racks. Currently, the mainstream trash rack removal operation relies heavily on manual operation: operators must use trash racks at the unit's intake to retrieve debris and transport it to a designated waste disposal site. Furthermore, existing trash rack removal systems have limited intelligence and automation, often relying on mechanical timed triggering or pressure sensor threshold judgments for decision-making. These traditional methods have the following drawbacks: 1. Manual dredging and cleaning operations are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the efficiency of cleaning is limited by the experience of personnel and environmental factors.

[0004] 2. A single decision-making mechanism based on mechanical timing or pressure sensors lacks real-time and accurate perception of the area of ​​dirt accumulation, resulting in unnecessary losses in the power generation efficiency of the unit.

[0005] 3. The level of intelligence is insufficient, and it is unable to make adaptive decisions based on complex factors such as the area of ​​sewage accumulation, the water level difference at the inlet, and the amount of rainfall.

[0006] In recent years, deep learning algorithms have made significant progress in fields such as smart industry, object detection, healthcare, and natural language processing. Applying deep learning algorithms to the field of hydropower station cleaning equipment to achieve automatic detection and identification of pollutants is of great significance for improving the operational efficiency and intelligence level of the cleaning system, and reducing the operation and maintenance costs and energy efficiency losses of hydropower stations.

[0007] Existing cleaning and decontamination systems still have shortcomings in real-time processing, detection accuracy, and intelligent decision-making, making it difficult to meet the actual needs of efficient and safe operation of hydropower stations.

[0008] Therefore, to address the aforementioned shortcomings, the development of an intelligent cleaning system and method based on multimodal deep learning has significant economic value and importance for improving power generation efficiency, ensuring operational safety, and reducing operation and maintenance costs in hydropower stations.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A smart cleaning method based on multimodal deep learning includes the following steps: S1, Preliminary preparation: Install industrial cameras in the trash rack area at the intake of the hydropower station to monitor the area of ​​accumulated waste in real time and transmit real-time images of the trash rack area. S2, Model Training: Collect images of water surface debris from different perspectives in real-time footage of the debris barrier area, generate a debris detection dataset, and train a deep learning-based debris recognition algorithm. S3, dirt recognition, transmits real-time images of the trash rack area captured by industrial cameras to an IoT edge computer, and uses a dirt recognition algorithm to identify dirt in the real-time images of the trash rack area and mark its location information. S4, Multimodal Fusion Decision, establishes a multimodal deep learning model to determine whether the cleaning equipment should be started. It comprehensively considers factors such as the area of ​​the sewage accumulation area, the water level difference at the inlet, weather conditions and rainfall.

The weighting coefficients must satisfy the following conditions: , and, through Set the hydrological mode to the highest priority. This is a seasonal bias term, derived from the effects of the wet season, normal season, and dry season, and calculated by weighting the rainfall amounts in different seasons.

[0015] Preferably, if the result of S4 indicates that the cleaning equipment can be started, then the following step S5 is executed: S51, after receiving a signal that the cleaning and pollution control module determines that the cleaning equipment can be started (i.e., an alarm signal), it immediately activates the audible and visual alarm lights and the intelligent positioning module, records the alarm time in real time, and provides the location information of the trash rack containing the dirt to the intelligent path algorithm. S52, the intelligent path algorithm combines the location of the cleaning equipment to generate the optimal cleaning operation sequence, and transmits the operation instruction to the programmable logic controller; S53, after receiving alarm signals and work instructions, activates the frequency converter anti-sway module; S54, the cleaning equipment moves to the orifice area to carry out cleaning operations, and the rake bucket moves to grab the dirt; S55, the cleaning equipment is moved to the sewage discharge area to perform sewage unloading operations; S56, the cleaning equipment returns to its initial position.

The intelligent positioning module outputs real-time location data of the cleaning equipment. These two types of data are transmitted to the intelligent dirt identification module and the frequency converter anti-sway module, respectively. The intelligent dirt identification module generates dirt detection results and the optimal cleaning operation strategy, which are transmitted to the intelligent cleaning control module. The intelligent cleaning control module judges the operation status and issues control commands to the local control module. The local control module converts the control commands into executable signals and also undertakes data exchange and remote communication adaptation between modules. The signals are transmitted to the frequency converter anti-sway module. After the frequency converter anti-sway module performs the cleaning operation, it feeds back the real-time operating status data of the equipment to the intelligent cleaning control module.

It combines multi-modal deep learning algorithms to detect contaminants and plan the optimal cleaning operation sequence, quickly responding to blockage problems and accurately removing blockages from the trash rack. This significantly reduces the time of blockage at the inlet, reduces water waste, and directly increases the power generation per unit flow of water. Especially during the peak of floating debris in the high-water season, it significantly improves power generation efficiency and economic benefits. 3. This invention reduces impact wear and accidental damage to key components of cleaning equipment through frequency conversion anti-sway control, and optimizes the operation process by combining intelligent path planning algorithm, making cleaning operations more energy-efficient, extending equipment service life, reducing the frequency of spare parts replacement and maintenance, and achieving a simultaneous reduction in operation and maintenance costs and energy consumption costs.

10. The intelligent cleaning system based on multimodal deep learning as described in claim 9, characterized in that: The connection relationships between the modules of the system are as follows: The data acquisition module outputs environmental perception data such as images of the trash rack area, water level, and water flow. The intelligent positioning module outputs real-time location data of the cleaning equipment. These two types of data are transmitted to the intelligent dirt identification module and the frequency converter anti-sway module, respectively. The intelligent dirt identification module generates dirt detection results and the optimal cleaning operation strategy, which are transmitted to the intelligent cleaning control module. The intelligent cleaning control module judges the operation status and issues control commands to the local control module. The local control module converts the control commands into executable signals and also undertakes data exchange and remote communication adaptation between modules. The signals are transmitted to the frequency converter anti-sway module. After the frequency converter anti-sway module performs the cleaning operation, it feeds back the real-time operating status data of the equipment to the intelligent cleaning control module.
