[0025] The accompanying drawings are provided to better understand this solution and do not constitute a limitation of this disclosure. Wherein: Figure 1 A schematic flowchart illustrating a strain margin alarm method for a container provided in an embodiment of this disclosure; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a strain margin alarm device for a container provided in an embodiment of this disclosure; Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of another strain margin alarm device for a container provided in an embodiment of this disclosure; Figure 4 A schematic block diagram of an example electronic device provided for embodiments of this disclosure. Detailed Implementation

[0026] The exemplary embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments to aid understanding, and should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0027] The strain margin alarm method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium of the container according to embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a strain margin alarm method for a container provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps: Step 101: Obtain at least one of the following: real-time strain data, real-time pressure data, and real-time temperature data of the pressure vessel; Based on a preset sampling sequence or external trigger command, an operation to sense the operational status of the target monitoring area of ​​the pressure vessel is initiated to collect at least one type of physical parameter reflecting the current structural response characteristics of the vessel. Specifically, the physical parameters are selected from a set of parameters that can characterize the local mechanical behavior or service environment state of the vessel. This set includes at least strain parameters for measuring the degree of deformation of the structural surface, pressure parameters for characterizing the internal medium pressure load, and temperature parameters for reflecting thermodynamic boundary conditions.

[0030] Depending on actual monitoring needs, sensor configuration resources, or the current stage of equipment operation, this data acquisition step can selectively and independently collect any one of the aforementioned parameters, or simultaneously collect any two or all three, thus forming differentiated input data sources. The acquired at least one real-time data point is not merely recorded as an independent value, but rather serves as the foundational input for subsequent quantitative assessment of safety status.

[0031] Through this selective acquisition mechanism, this method can flexibly adapt to different types of monitoring scenarios while ensuring the core monitoring functions. For example, as an optional implementation, to take into account both structural deformation monitoring and environmental load correction, this step can use resistance strain gauges in conjunction with pressure transmitters and resistance temperature sensors to simultaneously acquire strain, pressure, and temperature parameters, thereby constructing a multi-dimensional real-time state characterization vector.

[0032] Step 102: Compare at least one of the real-time strain data, real-time pressure data, and real-time temperature data with the corresponding preset safety threshold, and calculate the safety margin based on the comparison results; wherein, the safety margin represents the remaining safety capacity. First, a set of safety judgment benchmarks pre-stored in the system is retrieved. This set contains preset safety thresholds corresponding to different types of physical parameters. Each preset safety threshold is used to define the permissible limit boundary of the corresponding parameter under normal operating conditions. Then, at least one of the acquired real-time strain data, real-time pressure data, and real-time temperature data is numerically compared with the preset safety threshold corresponding to the same type of physical parameter to determine the positional relationship and degree of deviation of the current measured value relative to the threshold.

[0033] Based on the differences obtained from this comparison, this step further calculates the safety margin under the current state according to preset quantitative evaluation rules. The safety margin, as a quantitative index, is used to characterize the remaining bearing capacity or redundancy of the pressure vessel relative to a predetermined safety boundary at the monitoring moment. This comparison and calculation process supports both independent evaluation for a single parameter and comprehensive evaluation for multiple parameters, in order to adapt to the needs of different monitoring focuses and operating condition complexities.

[0034] As an optional implementation, this step can be achieved by the safety assessment module receiving measured data from the strain acquisition module and the parameter detection module, and calling the strain safety preset value, pressure upper and lower limits, and temperature upper and lower limits in the preset module. Using a quantitative formula that combines multi-parameter weighting or extreme value discrimination, the margin percentage or grade index used to characterize the structural safety remaining capacity can be calculated.

[0035] Step 103: Execute the corresponding graded alarm according to the safety margin; wherein, different safety margins correspond to different graded alarms; the graded alarms include on-site audible and visual alarms and communication alarms sent to remote terminals.

[0036] First, the current value of the safety margin is obtained and matched against multiple preset risk level division intervals within the system to determine the risk level to which the current state belongs. These multiple risk level division intervals do not overlap and collectively cover the complete range of possible safety margin values. Each level division interval corresponds to a preset alarm response strategy. Based on the determined risk level, this step invokes the output control logic associated with that level to execute the alarm operation matching that level. The alarm operation includes at least two independent notification methods on the physical transmission path: one is a locally perceptible notification for on-site equipment operators, and the other is a remote information report for a remote monitoring center or designated terminal device.

[0037] Through the aforementioned hierarchical matching and multi-output mechanism, this method ensures that risk situations of different urgency levels receive attention levels and response times commensurate with their severity, avoiding unnecessary emergency responses triggered by low-risk events, while ensuring that high-risk events receive immediate and definitive handling. For example, as an optional implementation, the locally perceptible prompts can be implemented using an audible and visual alarm unit, and the remote information reporting can be achieved by a communication alarm unit sending messages containing level identifiers and real-time data to remote terminals via wired or wireless networks, with different levels corresponding to different audible and visual frequencies, colors, or communication priorities.

[0038] In some embodiments, acquiring at least one of the real-time strain data, real-time pressure data, and real-time temperature data of the pressure vessel includes: Strain signals in a local area of ​​the pressure vessel are acquired based on preset sensors; The strain signal is subjected to signal conditioning and analog-to-digital conversion to obtain digitized real-time strain data.

[0039] Pre-set sensors are installed on the surface of the target monitoring area of ​​the pressure vessel, such as stress concentration areas like the heat-affected zone of welds, the transition section of the end cap, or the flange neck. These sensors are preferably resistance strain gauges, which utilize their piezoresistive effect to convert the micro-deformation of the structural surface into a change in resistance. The resistance strain gauge is connected to a signal conditioning circuit via a four-arm Wheatstone bridge to eliminate temperature drift and improve measurement sensitivity.

[0040] When the container is loaded, causing deformation in the patch area, the bridge outputs a differential voltage signal proportional to the strain. This weak analog signal is first amplified by the instrumentation amplifier in the signal conditioning circuit with a high common-mode rejection ratio, then filtered by a low-pass active filter network to remove high-frequency noise interference, and then input to the analog-to-digital converter circuit.

[0041] The analog-to-digital conversion circuit is preferably a successive approximation type or Σ-Δ type high-precision analog-to-digital converter, and its sampling frequency and resolution are configured according to the frequency band characteristics and accuracy requirements of the strain signal being measured. After analog-to-digital conversion, the analog voltage is converted into real-time digital strain data, and transmitted to the control module through digital interfaces such as SPI or I²C, thus completing the complete conversion link from physical deformation to processable digital information.

[0042] In some embodiments, calculating the safety margin based on the comparison results includes: The real-time strain data is compared with the strain safety value, the real-time pressure data with the pressure preset value, and the real-time temperature data with the temperature preset value to obtain the corresponding deviation values. The safety margin is obtained by weighting each deviation value with a preset weighting coefficient.

[0043] As a preferred implementation, the safety assessment module synchronously acquires real-time strain data from the strain acquisition module, real-time pressure data from the parameter detection module, and real-time temperature data from the control module. At the same time, it calls the strain safety value, pressure preset value (including upper and lower pressure limits), and temperature preset value (including upper and lower temperature limits) that have been entered in the preset module.

[0044] The safety assessment module compares each real-time data point with its corresponding preset safety value. For strain data, it calculates the difference or ratio between the measured strain value and the safe strain value as the strain deviation value. For pressure data, it calculates the pressure deviation value based on the degree to which the current pressure exceeds or falls below the preset upper or lower limit. For temperature data, it calculates the temperature deviation value based on the deviation of the current temperature from the preset upper and lower temperature limits. Each deviation value can be quantified in various forms, such as absolute deviation, relative deviation, or normalized deviation. After calculating each individual deviation value, the safety assessment module reads multiple pre-stored weighting coefficients from the preset module. These weighting coefficients correspond to the weight of strain, pressure, and temperature in the safety margin assessment, and their values ​​can be differentiated according to the design specifications, service history, and failure modes of different pressure vessels.

[0045] The safety assessment module multiplies each deviation value by its corresponding weighting coefficient, then sums or calculates a weighted average, and normalizes it using a preset benchmark value to obtain a dimensionless safety margin. For example, in a specific application, for thin-walled vessels primarily controlled by strain, the strain weighting coefficient can be set to 0.6, the pressure weighting coefficient to 0.3, and the temperature weighting coefficient to 0.1; while for vessels operating in high-temperature environments, the temperature weighting coefficient can be appropriately increased, thus allowing for flexible adjustment of the assessment focus.

[0046] In some embodiments, executing the corresponding tiered alarm based on the security margin includes: When the safety level reaches the first warning level, the on-site audible and visual alarm unit is triggered to issue a warning, and the alarm information is pushed to the remote terminal through the communication unit; When the safety level reaches the second warning level, the on-site audible and visual alarm unit is triggered to issue an over-limit warning, and the alarm information and handling suggestions are pushed to the remote terminal through the communication unit.

[0047] The alarm module includes an on-site audible and visual alarm unit and a communication alarm unit. When the safety assessment module determines that the current safety margin falls within the numerical range corresponding to the first warning level, the control module sends a first control signal to the on-site audible and visual alarm unit. This first control signal drives the buzzer in the audible and visual alarm unit to emit intermittent short beeps, and simultaneously drives the LED indicator to emit yellow flashing lights, thus forming a warning message that is different from the normal operating state. At the same time, the control module synchronously sends alarm information containing the current safety level, measured strain value, pressure value, temperature value, and timestamp to the communication alarm unit. The communication alarm unit pushes this information to the remote monitoring terminal via wired Ethernet or wireless 4G / 5G network, so that operation and management personnel can be promptly informed that the equipment is in a state requiring attention.

[0048] When the safety assessment module determines that the current safety margin has further deteriorated and reached the second warning level, the control module sends a second control signal, distinct from the first control signal, to the on-site audible and visual alarm unit. This second control signal drives the buzzer to emit a continuous long beep with increased volume, and simultaneously drives the LED indicator to emit a fast-flashing red light, thus creating an emergency over-limit warning. Simultaneously, the control module sends an alarm message to the communication alarm unit containing all the aforementioned measured data and preset handling suggestions. These suggestions are automatically generated based on the type of over-limit parameter; for example, when strain exceeds the limit, it is recommended to reduce working pressure or shut down for inspection; when temperature exceeds the limit, it is recommended to strengthen cooling or reduce thermal load. This information is pushed to the remote terminal, allowing remote management personnel to quickly obtain information about the abnormal situation and take corresponding measures based on the suggestions. The audible and visual modes of the first and second warning levels are significantly distinguishable in frequency, timbre, color, and flashing rhythm.

[0049] In some embodiments, the method further includes: Real-time monitoring of pressure data; when the pressure data rises from below the preset lower pressure limit to above the preset upper pressure limit, and then falls back below the lower pressure limit, it is determined that a complete pressure cycle has been completed, and a count is performed.

[0050] The pressure sensor in the parameter detection module collects pressure data in real time during the operation of the pressure vessel and continuously transmits this data to the control module in digital form after analog-to-digital conversion. The control module has an internal pressure cycle counting and determination logic, which uses the preset lower and upper pressure limits stored in the module as the determination criteria. The control module continuously monitors the real-time pressure value change trend. When it detects that the pressure value rises from below the preset lower pressure limit, crosses the preset upper pressure limit to reach above the upper pressure limit, and then falls back below the preset lower pressure limit, this process is considered to constitute a complete pressure cycle.

[0051] During this determination process, the control module compares the pressure value of the current sampling period with the pressure value of the previous sampling period to determine the direction of pressure change, and sets a status flag in memory to record the current pressure stage, such as "below the lower limit", "between the upper and lower limits", "above the upper limit", etc. When the status flag changes completely in the order of "below the lower limit → above the upper limit → below the lower limit", the control module sends a counting pulse signal to the counting module. Each time the counting module receives the pulse signal, it increments the current count value in the accumulator register by 1, completing one cycle of counting.

[0052] The control module also associates and stores the complete pressure cycle event and its corresponding cycle number with a timestamp in the storage unit. In addition, the counting module is equipped with a reset interface and a pause interface. When an external maintenance command is triggered, the operator can send a reset command to the control module via the interactive buttons on the display unit, and the control module will reset the count value in the accumulator register to zero. When the pressure vessel needs maintenance or sensor calibration, counting can be paused via the pause interface, and the counting function will resume after maintenance is completed, preventing invalid fluctuations or abnormal counts during non-service periods from being included in the cycle statistics.

[0053] In some embodiments, the method further includes: In response to an external control command, the pressure cycle count is reset or paused.

[0054] The display unit integrated in the display storage unit is preferably a touch screen or an industrial-grade LCD screen with physical buttons. Operators can issue external control commands through the interactive interface on the display unit. These commands are transmitted to the command parsing port of the control module via a data link between the display unit and the control module. Alternatively, the external control commands can also be sent to the control module from a remote monitoring terminal via a wired or wireless network through a communication unit, enabling remote operation. Upon receiving the external control command, the control module first performs protocol parsing and validity verification to confirm whether the command type is a clear command or a pause command.

[0055] When a zeroing command is detected, the control module sends a reset signal to the accumulator register of the counting module, resetting the currently stored pressure cycle count value to zero. Simultaneously, a zeroing event record is generated, including the operation timestamp, operation source, and the count value before zeroing, and this record is stored in the memory unit for future reference. When a pause command is detected, the control module sends a control level to the counting enable terminal of the counting module to disable accumulation. Upon receiving this enable signal, the counting module will pause its response to subsequent counting pulse signals, and the count value in the accumulator register will remain unchanged at the pause time. However, the real-time acquisition of pressure data by the parameter detection module remains unaffected. When the control module subsequently receives an external control command to resume counting, it resends a control level to the counting enable terminal to allow accumulation, and the counting module then resumes its counting function for complete pressure cycle events. Whether pressure crossing events during the pause and after the recovery are included in the cycle is determined by the control module based on the status flags at the pause start time and the recovery time, avoiding the miscounting of incomplete cycles that cross the pause interval as valid cycles.

[0056] In some embodiments, the method further includes: Real-time data, safety margin, safety level, and number of pressure cycles are displayed and stored in real time.

[0057] During operation, the control module transmits real-time strain data from the strain acquisition module, real-time pressure and temperature data from the parameter detection module, safety margin values ​​and corresponding safety levels calculated by the safety assessment module, and the number of pressure cycles accumulated by the counting module to the display and storage module in real time via a parallel data bus or serial communication interface. The display and storage module consists of a display unit and a storage unit. The display unit is preferably an industrial-grade LCD screen. The control module visualizes the above data according to a preset interface layout, using numerical values, progress bars, status indicator lights, or trend curves. For example, real-time strain, pressure, and temperature values ​​are refreshed in real-time using digital instruments; the safety margin is displayed as a percentage progress bar or color band; the safety level is distinguished by different colors such as green, yellow, and red; and the number of pressure cycles is displayed as a cumulative value in a designated area of ​​the interface, allowing on-site operators to intuitively grasp the current operating status of the equipment.

[0058] Meanwhile, the storage unit employs non-volatile memory, including but not limited to SD cards, EEPROM, or NAND Flash chips. While pushing data to the display unit, the control module associates all the aforementioned data with the current timestamp according to a preset storage cycle (e.g., once per second or after each complete evaluation cycle), and writes it into the storage unit in a structured data format (e.g., binary data frames or CSV format). The storage unit has a storage space of no less than a preset capacity (e.g., 32GB) to support continuous data recording for at least ten years, and reserves an external data export interface (e.g., USB interface or Ethernet interface) to facilitate subsequent offline analysis and incident tracing by reading historical data through external devices.

[0059] Corresponding to the strain margin alarm method for containers described above, this invention also proposes a strain margin alarm device for containers. Since the device embodiments of this invention correspond to the method embodiments described above, details not disclosed in the device embodiments can be referred to in the method embodiments described above, and will not be repeated here.

The graded alarm unit 23 is used to execute corresponding graded alarms according to the safety margin; wherein, different safety margins correspond to different graded alarms; the graded alarms include on-site audible and visual alarms and communication alarms sent to remote terminals.
