Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods struggle with real-time dynamic fast processing of online acceleration data, leading to difficulties in ensuring data consistency and accuracy due to noise and drift, especially in cantilever beam-like structures where vibration causes elastic deformation, limiting the applicability of laser displacement sensing equipment.

Innovation Solution

A real-time dynamic signal fast processing method based on edge computing is proposed, which includes a dynamic integration algorithm and a high-pass filter to de-noise speed and displacement data, ensuring accuracy and reducing drift, and is embedded into an edge device near the data source to improve timeliness and reduce storage requirements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If laser displacement sensing equipment is used to monitor cantilever beam-like structures, then displacement measurement precision is improved, but device complexity and installation difficulty increase due to higher requirements for installation position and space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplacement measurement precisionVSAvoidinstallation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses acceleration sensors to measure acceleration data, which is then integrated to obtain speed and displacement information. This copying approach replaces direct displacement measurement with acceleration measurement followed by mathematical integration, allowing the use of simpler acceleration sensors instead of complex laser displacement sensors while maintaining the ability to obtain displacement information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces optical measurement systems (laser displacement sensors) with mechanical/electrical sensors (acceleration sensors) combined with signal processing. The acceleration sensors convert mechanical vibration into electrical signals that are then processed through integration to obtain displacement, substituting a simpler mechanical sensing approach for complex optical measurement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If existing acceleration data processing methods are used, then data de-noising is improved, but real-time processing capability deteriorates because these methods require higher data integrity and are designed for complete acceleration information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata de-noising effectivenessVSAvoidreal-time processing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies de-noising operations selectively based on the amount of accumulated data. When the number of monitoring points reaches a certain threshold (1/4 of sampling frequency), de-noising is performed; otherwise, direct integration is used. This partial application of de-noising maintains real-time processing capability while improving accuracy when sufficient data is available

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic processing where the de-noising operation is conditionally applied based on real-time data accumulation status. The system dynamically adjusts its processing strategy - using simple integration for rapid response when data is scarce, and switching to de-noised integration when sufficient data accumulates, optimizing both speed and accuracy adaptively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If online acceleration data is processed without de-noising, then processing speed is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates due to noise and drift in integrated speed and displacement data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoiddisplacement measurement accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies de-noising operations selectively based on the amount of accumulated data. When the number of monitoring points reaches a certain threshold (1/4 of sampling frequency), de-noising is performed; otherwise, direct integration is used. This partial application of de-noising maintains real-time processing capability while improving accuracy when sufficient data is available

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent skips de-noising operations when data accumulation is insufficient, rushing through the integration process directly to maintain processing speed. This selective skipping prevents excessive processing delays while still applying de-noising when it becomes beneficial, balancing speed and accuracy based on data availability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #21Skipping (Rushing through)
