FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary flow diagram of a method for managing a pipe network of natural gas according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the process 200 may include the following operations. In some embodiments, process 200 may be executed by processor 112.

In operation 210, pipe network information of natural gas in at least one area may be obtained. In some embodiments, the information obtaining module 510 executes operation 210.

Among then, the area may be a district, a school, a city, or a certain specific area delineated, which may be determined according to actual management needs.

In some embodiments, the pipe network information of natural gas may include a running time of a system of the pipe network of the natural gas and gas leakage information of the pipe network.

The running time of the system refers to a time from a time point when the system for managing the pipe network of natural gas starts (which may include the first start or maintenance restart, etc.) to a time point when running time information of the system is collected, or a time from a time point when the system has been running since the end of the last maintenance to a time point when the running time information was collected. For example, if the system for managing the pipe network of natural gas was operated for the first time on Jan. 1, 2021, and has not been maintained until today, Feb. 1, 2021, the running time of the system is 31 days. For another example, if the system for managing the pipe network of natural gas was last maintained and restarted on Mar. 1, 2021, and it has not been maintained until Apr. 1, 2021, the running time of the system is 31 days.

The gas leakage information of the pipe network refers to information related to natural gas leakage. In some embodiments, the gas leakage information of the pipe network may include information such as a gas concentration, a diffusion rate, a leakage time, an elapsed time, and a gas leakage location of the leaked natural gas.

In some embodiments, the processor 112 may obtain the running time of the system based on historical information. The historical information may refer to various types of information collected and recorded in the past, including the running time of the system. In some embodiments, the processor 112 may obtain the gas concentration, diffusion rate, leakage time, and elapsed time of the leaked natural gas through the gas detector. In some embodiments, the processor 112 may obtain a gas leakage location of the leaked natural gas through the detection record of the leakage information. In some embodiments, the processor 112 may integrate information such as gas concentration, diffusion rate, leakage time, elapsed time, and gas leakage location of the leaked natural gas, so as to obtain the gas leakage information of the pipe network.

In operation 220, feature information based on the running time and the gas leakage information may be extracted. In some embodiments, the feature extracting module 520 executes operation 220.

The feature information may be an abstract expression obtained by means of feature extraction for the features of the system's running time and the gas leakage information. In some embodiments, the feature information may be in the form of feature vectors or matrices.

In some embodiments, feature information may be obtained by conversion algorithm, model processing, etc.

In some embodiments, the running time and the leakage information of the pipe network may be quantized to obtain the feature information. Specifically, a conversion algorithm may be used to determine the vector corresponding to the running time and the leakage information of the pipe network. The conversion algorithm may include a one-hot encoding algorithm, a collinear vector algorithm, a Glove algorithm, or the like. Exemplarily, the one-hot encoding algorithm may be used to convert the running time and the leakage information of the pipe network into a vector representation. The one-hot encoding, also known as one-bit valid encoding or one-hot encoding, mainly uses N-bit state registers to encode N states, each state has an independent register bit, and only one bit is valid at any time. The one-hot encoding is the representation of categorical variables as binary vectors. For example, assuming that the tag type includes running time and gas leakage information, according to the principle of encoding N states by the N-bit state register, where N=2, after encoding: the tag corresponding to the running time can be expressed as [1, 0], the label corresponding to the gas leakage information can be expressed as [0, 1].

In some embodiments, the vector corresponding to the running time and the gas leakage information of the pipe network may be spliced or superimposed to obtain an eigenvector or a matrix.

In some embodiments, the first model may be used to execute the running time and the gas leakage information of the pipe network to obtain feature information. For example, the running time and the gas leakage information of the pipe network may be input into the first model, and the feature information may be output from the first model. The first model may be a Word2Vec model, a BERT model, a CNN model, a DNN model, or the like. The first model may be trained by using the historical running time and the historical gas leakage information as training data, so that the first model may output its corresponding vector or matrix representation based on the running time and the gas leakage information. Labels corresponding to training data may be determined by transformation algorithms, human input, or historical data.

In operation 230, predicting a maintenance time of the pipe network by inputting the feature information into a maintenance time prediction model. In some embodiments, predicting module 530 executes operation 230.

The predicted maintenance time of the pipe network refers to the time point at which the pipe network is maintained and obtained through the prediction of the maintenance time prediction model. For example, today is Jan. 1, 2022, and the maintenance time of the pipe network obtained through the prediction of the maintenance time prediction model may be Jun. 30, 2022.

In some embodiments, after the feature information is input into the maintenance time prediction model, the maintenance time prediction model can output the predicted maintenance time of the pipe network.

In some embodiments, the maintenance time prediction model may be constructed based on a deep learning neural network model. Exemplary deep learning neural network models may include convolutional network models (CNN), fully convolutional neural network (FCN) models, generative adversarial networks (GAN), backpropagation (BP) machine learning models, radial basis functions (RBF) Machine Learning Model, Deep Belief Network (DBN), Elman Machine Learning Model, etc. or a combination thereof.

For more content about the maintenance time prediction model, refer to other parts of the present disclosure (for example, FIG. 3 and its related description).

By predicting the maintenance time of the pipe network, maintenance can be performed before the pipe network of natural gas is damaged, so as to prevent the underground pipe network from being unable to be used normally due to the full life cycle, thereby avoiding serious losses. In addition, the running time and the gas leakage information of the pipe network are used as the input of the pipe network maintenance time prediction model, and the accuracy of the prediction of the pipe network maintenance time may be improved by combining the running time and the gas leakage information.

FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary schematic diagram of a method for predicting maintenance time according to other embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the method 300 includes a running time 310-1, gas leakage information of the pipe network 310-2, feature information 320-1, a pipe network maintenance value 320-2, a vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network 320-3, a maintenance time prediction model 330 and the maintenance time of the pipe network 340, and also include the initial maintenance time prediction model 350 and the first training sample 360.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the input to the maintenance time prediction model 330 may be feature information 320-1. The feature information 320-1 may be obtained based on running time 310-1 and gas leakage information 310-2. For more information about the extraction of the feature information 320-1, refer to other parts of the present disclosure (for example, FIG. 2 and its related descriptions).

In some embodiments, the input of the maintenance time prediction model 330 may also include a pipe network maintenance value 320-2. The dashed boxes in FIG. 3 indicate optional.

The pipe network maintenance value may be a numerical value or a letter or the like that can reflect the maintenance processing priority. For example, the pipe network maintenance value may be represented by a numerical value between 1-10, or the letters a-f, or a star rating. The larger the value, the larger the dictionary order, or the higher the star rating, the higher the priority of maintenance processing.

In some embodiments, the pipe network maintenance value may be obtained based on pipe network maintenance information and pipe network environment information. In some embodiments, the pipe network maintenance value may be obtained through a maintenance value prediction model. For more information about the acquisition of the pipe network maintenance value, refer to other parts of the present disclosure (for example, FIG. 4 and its related descriptions).

In some embodiments, the input of the maintenance time prediction model 330 may also include a fatigue factor of the network vibration 320-3.

The vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network may be used to reflect the magnitude of the strength of the vibration fatigue of the pipe due to vibration. For example, the vibration factor of the pipe network may be represented by a value between 1 and 10. The larger the value, the greater the fatigue strength of the pipe due to vibration.

In some embodiments, the vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network may be obtained based on a vibration frequency of the pipe network and a vibration time of the pipe network. In some embodiments, the vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network may be directly calculated based on the vibration frequency of the pipe network and the vibration time of the pipe network. In some embodiments, the vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network may be obtained by inputting the vibration frequency of the pipe network and the vibration time of the pipe network into the second model, and outputting the vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network from the second model.

In some embodiments, the processor 112 may detect the vibration time of the pipe network through the sensor. For example, the processor 112 may detect through the sensor that the pipe network vibrates at a certain time period of a certain day, and determine the vibration time of the pipe network. In some embodiments, the processor 112 may obtain the vibration frequency of the pipe network through periodic detection by the sensor. For more information about the vibration frequency of the pipe network, refer to other parts of the present disclosure (for example, FIG. 4 and its related descriptions).

In some embodiments, the process of calculating the vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network may be expressed as: the vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network=the vibration frequency of the pipe network*the vibration time of the pipe network/pipe material strength.

Among then, the larger the vibration frequency of the pipe network and the vibration time of the pipe network are, the easier the pipe is to produce fatigue, and the larger the corresponding the vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network. By obtaining the vibration frequency of the pipe network and the vibration time of the pipe network, the foundation may be laid for the subsequent accurate calculation of the vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network. The pipe material strength is the ability of the pipe material to resist damage under the action of external force. In some embodiments, the pipe material strength may include tensile strength, compressive strength, shear strength, flexural strength, or the like. The smaller the pipe material strength, the easier the pipe is fatigued, and the greater the corresponding vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network. By setting the pipe material strength, the influence of different materials on the ease of fatigue of the pipe may be comprehensively considered, so as to improve the accuracy of determining the vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network.

In some embodiments, the vibration frequency of the pipe network and the vibration time of the pipe network may be input into the second model to obtain the vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network. The second model may be a CNN model, a DNN model, or the like. The second model may be trained by using historical vibration frequency of the pipe network and historical vibration time of the pipe network as training data, so that the second model may output vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network based on the vibration frequency of the pipe network and the vibration time of the pipe network. The labels of the training data may be manually-labeled vibration fatigue factors of the pipe network.

In some embodiments, the input of the maintenance time prediction model 330 may be the combination of feature information, the pipe network maintenance value, and the vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network, and the output of the maintenance time prediction model 330 is the maintenance time of the pipe network 340.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the model parameters of the maintenance time prediction model 330 may be obtained by training a plurality of first training samples 360 with labels. In some embodiments, the plurality of sets of first training samples 360 may be obtained based on historical data, and each set of first training samples 360 may include a plurality of training data and labels corresponding to the training data. Taking the input of the maintenance time prediction model 330 as the feature information 320-1 as an example, the training data may include feature information corresponding to historical running time and historical gas leakage information, and the label of the training data may be the manually-marked maintenance time of the pipe network. Taking the input of the maintenance time prediction model 330 as the feature information 320-1 and the pipe network maintenance value 320-2 as an example, the training data may include the feature information corresponding to the historical running time and the historical gas leakage information, and the feature information based on the historical pipe network maintenance information and the maintenance value of the pipe network obtained from the historical pipe network environment information, and the label of the training data may be the maintenance time of the pipe network marked manually. Taking the input of the maintenance time prediction model 330 as the feature information 320-1, the maintenance value of the pipe network 320-2, and the vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network 320-3 as examples, the training data may include the feature information corresponding to the historical running time and the historical gas leakage information, the historical maintenance value of the pipe network, and the vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network calculated based on the historical vibration frequency of the pipe network and historical vibration time of the pipe network. The label of the training data may be the manually-marked maintenance time of the pipe network.

The parameters of the initial maintenance time prediction model 350 may be updated through a plurality of groups of first training samples 360 to obtain the trained initial maintenance time prediction model 350. Among them parameters can be passed in any common way.

In some embodiments, the parameters of the initial maintenance time prediction model 350 may be iteratively updated based on a plurality of first training samples, so that the loss function of the model satisfies a preset condition. For example, the loss function converges, or the loss function value is smaller than a preset value. When the loss function satisfies the preset condition, the model training is completed, and the trained initial maintenance time prediction model 350 is obtained. The maintenance time prediction model 330 and the trained initial maintenance time prediction model 350 have the same model structure.

The maintenance time of the pipe network is predicted by the maintenance time prediction model, and maintenance may be carried out before the pipe network of natural gas is damaged, so as to prevent the underground pipe network from being unable to be used normally due to the full life cycle, thereby avoiding serious losses. The maintenance value of the pipe network or the vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network may be used as the input of the maintenance time prediction model to obtain a prediction result associating the feature information obtained based on the running time and gas leakage information with the maintenance value of the pipe network, or the feature information obtained based on the running time and gas leakage information with the vibration fatigue factor. It makes the maintenance time prediction model more accurate in predicting the maintenance time of the pipe network.

It should be noted that the above description about the method for predicting the process maintenance time is only for example and illustration, and does not limit the scope of application of the present disclosure. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and changes can be made to the process maintenance time prediction method under the guidance of the present disclosure. However, these corrections and changes are still within the scope of this present disclosure. For example, the input of the second model may also include pipe material strength. The vibration frequency of the pipe network, vibration time of the pipe network, and pipe material strength may be input into the second model to obtain the vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network. The second model may be a CNN model, a DNN model, or the like. The second model may be trained by using historical vibration frequency of the pipe network, historical vibration time of the pipe network and historical pipe material strength as training data, so that the second model may output the vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network based on the vibration frequency of the pipe network, the vibration time of the pipe network and pipe material strength. The labels of the training data may be manually labeled as the vibration fatigue factor of the pipe network.

In some embodiments, the processor 112 may obtain the vibration frequency of the pipe network by periodically detecting the sensor. The detected historical data may be stored in the storage device 120. When predicting the maintenance value of the pipe network through the maintenance value prediction model, the data in a certain period of time in the past (for example, 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, etc.) is selected as the model input.

In some embodiments, the length of the corresponding time period of the selection data is negatively correlated with the maintenance value of the pipe network within a certain range. For example, if the maintenance value of the pipe network is large, the priority of maintenance processing is high, and the selection of the time period may be relatively small, in order to speed up the prediction or avoid the interference of irrelevant data. For another example, the maintenance value of the pipe network is small, the priority of maintenance processing is low, and the selection of the time period may be relatively large to ensure the prediction effect.
