Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent operation and maintenance of rail transit equipment, and in particular to the intelligent fault prediction function of rail transit equipment. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of urban rail transit and the gradual expansion of the network scale in various regions, the number of equipment in various specialties within the network has also increased significantly, leading to a surge in equipment inspection / maintenance workload. Metro electromechanical equipment mainly consists of systems such as ventilation and air conditioning, water supply and drainage, low-voltage power distribution and lighting, environmental and equipment monitoring, escalators and platform screen doors, etc., and is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of the metro and providing passenger services. Metro electromechanical equipment involves many specialties, spans a wide range between them, has a large number of pieces of equipment, a large maintenance workload, is geographically dispersed, has many professional interfaces, operates in a harsh environment, and directly faces passengers. It is closely related to operational safety, passenger order, passenger service, and emergency rescue, making the task heavy and the responsibility significant.
[0003] Existing statistics show that electromechanical equipment failure is one of the major causes of subway traffic accidents and malfunctions, accounting for over 70% of all accidents and malfunctions. As the total number of subway electromechanical equipment increases, the number of devices experiencing failures also rises. Currently, the maintenance of subway electromechanical equipment mainly adopts a combined approach of planned maintenance, condition-based maintenance, and fault-based maintenance, with planned maintenance as the primary method and condition-based and fault-based maintenance as supplementary methods. However, the current operation and maintenance of electromechanical equipment faces the following difficulties: Poor visibility of actual equipment conditions hinders timely reflection of status changes, making it difficult to identify safety hazards and posing significant operational risks. There is a lack of clear guidelines for determining when and where repairs are needed, as well as identifying the most urgent repair areas, leading to a lack of emphasis on importance and urgency, resulting in a heavy workload and low efficiency. Planned inspections and maintenance require substantial investment of manpower, equipment, and spare parts, resulting in high costs. Equipment fault information cannot be obtained promptly and accurately; a large amount of data lacks specificity and fails to reflect the real-time status of the equipment.
[0004] Therefore, the existing market urgently needs to change the above situation, conduct accurate "real-time analysis" and "comprehensive evaluation" of equipment status, realize intelligent operation and maintenance of electromechanical equipment, and realize the transformation from traditional diagnosis based on phenomena and indicators to prediction based on intelligent systems. Electromechanical equipment can serve the safe operation of enterprises more effectively and reliably in networked operation and maintenance, and carry out full life cycle management of electromechanical equipment to achieve the project goal of lowest cost and highest overall efficiency throughout the entire equipment life cycle.
