The present invention is an invention for saving power and improving efficiency by performing safety diagnosis only when a motion is detected in an active state while the wire rope safety diagnostic sensor is in a standby mode.
Referring to
Here, the step of waking up from a standby mode and requesting an AP to control by the sensor unit (S100) may be expressed as step (a).
At step (a), the sensor unit wakes up from the standby mode, activates a wireless transmission and reception unit (RF), and transmits a control request signal to the AP.
Hereinafter, the sensor unit may connect to and communicate with a gateway through the RF.
Here, the AP means an access point of a platform, which is software for diagnosing low-power wire rope safety.
Here, the standby mode may be expressed as SLEEP, and the standby mode means a mode in which a plurality of sensor nodes of the sensor unit that consume much power does not sense, and minimal power is consumed by turning off the RF of the sensor unit to check only time.
Here, when the sensor unit enters the standby mode, a duration of time for sustaining the standby mode is set in advance, and when the preset time is elapsed after the sensor unit enters the standby mode, the sensor unit wakes up from the standby mode.
Here, as the duration of time for sustaining the standby mode, a standby time may be diversely determined based on the time of using the wire rope, and the AP may variably apply the standby time.
Therefore, only time is checked in the standby mode.
Here, during the time other than the standby mode, it may be expressed as an active mode.
When the standby mode is switched to the active mode, the turned-off RF is turned on, and the sensor node and the RF are activated.
Here, the control request signal is transmitted to the AP through the gateway.
Here, the step of determining whether motion detection is needed and transmitting a motion detection signal to the sensor unit by the AP (S200) may be expressed as step (b).
At step (b), the AP receiving the control request signal from the sensor unit determines whether motion detection is needed and transmits a motion detection signal to the sensor unit when it is determined that motion detection is needed.
Here, when the AP determines that motion detection is needed, any one command among a motion detection signal (Detect), a standby mode entrance signal (Sleep), and an immediate safety diagnosis sensing signal (Active) may be transmitted to the sensor unit through the gateway according to a condition set in advance by the operator.
Here, the sensor unit may classify the received command, and detect motion when the command is the motion detection signal (Detect) (S300), immediately enter the standby mode when the command is the standby mode entrance signal (Sleep), and immediately begin a wire rope safety diagnosis without motion detection when the command is the immediate safety diagnosis sensing signal (Active).
Here, the condition for determining whether motion detection is needed by the AP may be set as a case of satisfying one or more conditions, and the conditions may be set diversely. In an embodiment, when the safety diagnosis sensing is performed only once a day and, in addition, when non-operating dates when safety diagnosis sensing is not performed, operating days, and operating hours are set in advance, it is determined whether sensing has been performed today, whether today corresponds to an operating date other than the non-operating dates, whether today corresponds to an operating day, or whether the current time is business hours, and the AP transmits the motion detection signal (Detect) to the sensor unit through the gateway only when it is determined that motion detection is needed.
Here, when it is determined that motion detection is not needed as a result of examining the conditions for determining whether motion detection is needed, the AP transmits the standby mode entrance signal (Sleep) to the sensor unit through the gateway.
In this case, the sensor unit enters the standby mode for a preset time period.
Here, when an immediate safety diagnosis sensing condition set in advance by the user is satisfied, the AP transmits an immediate safety diagnosis sensing (Active) entrance signal to the sensor unit through the gateway.
In this case, the sensor unit begins safety diagnosis sensing on a wire rope for a predetermined time period.
Here, the step of sensing motion and performing safety diagnosis sensing by the sensor unit only when a motion is detected (S300) may be expressed as step (c).
At step (c), when the sensor unit receives a motion detection signal (dect) from the AP through the gateway, the sensor unit begins to detect motion through the motion detection sensor, and when a motion is detected, the safety diagnosis sensor begins safety diagnosis sensing of a wire rope.
Here, the motion detection sensor is a sensor included in the sensor unit, which is one of a plurality of sensor nodes included in the safety diagnosis sensor, and it measures magnetic force of an object, compares a voltage measured before a predetermined time with a currently measured voltage, and determines that a motion is detected when the voltage difference exceeds a threshold voltage value.
Here, when the magnetic force is measured and magnetic flux changes, the voltage difference may be derived as the voltage changes accordingly.
In addition, the threshold voltage value may be set in advance by the operator.

Accordingly, in this case, a currently measured voltage is compared with a voltage measured before a predetermined time. For example, in the case where the predetermined time is 0.1 seconds, when the current time corresponds to 1.52 seconds, the voltage difference between the currently measured voltage (3357 mV) and the voltage (3008 mV) measured 0.1 seconds ago (1.42 seconds) is 349 mV, when the current time corresponds to 1.57 seconds, the voltage difference between the currently measured voltage (3657 mV) and the voltage (2969 mV) measured 0.1 seconds ago (1.47 seconds) is 699 mV, and when the current time corresponds to 1.62 seconds, the voltage difference between the currently measured voltage (3720 mV) and the voltage (3357 mV) measured 0.1 seconds ago (1.52 seconds) is 363 mV.
Accordingly, only the voltage difference derived at 1.52 seconds exceeds the threshold voltage value when the threshold voltage value preset by the operator is 0.5V (500 mV), and therefore, in this case, it is determined that a motion is detected at 1.52 seconds.
In addition, referring to
Here, when the moving range of a wire rope, which is an object, in the vertical direction exceeds the threshold change preset by the operator, it is determined that a motion is detected.
As unnecessary safety diagnosis is reduced by detecting movement through one of sensor nodes of the safety diagnosis sensor or a separate gyro sensor without immediately performing safety diagnosis of a wire rope as described above, and performing safety diagnosis only when a movement is detected, power can be used efficiently.
Only when a motion is detected as described above, wire rope safety diagnosis sensing begins through the safety diagnosis sensor.
Referring to
At step (d), the sensor unit stores the sensor data generated by performing the safety diagnosis sensing in a database, terminates the safety diagnosis sensing after a predetermined time is elapsed, and transmits the stored data and a control request signal to the AP. When the platform receiving the sensor data from the AP requests the artificial intelligence server to perform signal processing and defect determination on the sensor data, the artificial intelligence server determines a defect of the wire rope through deep learning.
Here, step (d) may include the steps of storing the sensor data generated by performing the safety diagnosis sensing in a database, terminating the safety diagnosis sensing after a predetermined time is elapsed, and transmitting the stored sensor data and a control request signal to the AP, by the safety diagnosis sensor of the sensor unit (S410), performing, when the platform requests the artificial intelligence server to perform signal processing on the sensor data received by the AP, a first determination step of performing preprocessing of removing noise and trend of the sensor data, and determining that there is a defect when leakage magnetic flux exceeding a predetermined value occurs, by the artificial intelligence server (S420), and performing a second determination step of extracting various statistical features from the preprocessed data, and determining that there is a defect through deep learning of a feed-forward neural network or the like, by the artificial intelligence server (S430).
Here, at the step of transmitting the stored sensor data and a control request signal to the AP (S410), the safety diagnosis sensor stores the sensor data in the database, and transmits the stored sensor data to the AP through the gateway.
As described above, the sensor data transmitted to the platform through the AP is used to determine a defect of the wire rope through the artificial intelligence server, and the method of diagnosing a defect through deep learning by the artificial intelligence server is as shown in
Here, at the first determination step (S420), the artificial intelligence server preprocesses the data, such as removing noise through a low-pass filter (LPF) and removing trends through a band-pass filter (BPF) from the original data.
Here, when leakage magnetic flux exceeding a predetermined reference value occurs from the preprocessed data, it is primarily determined that there is a defect.
In addition, at the second determination step (S430), the artificial intelligence server extracts various statistical features such as skewness, kurtosis, peak-to-peak, peak-to-factor and the like from the preprocessed data, correctly diagnoses a signal, which could be a false alarm, using a feed-forward network (FF network), and removes the false alarm and determines that there is a defect.
Referring to
In this case, the AP may transmit a standby mode entrance signal (SLEEP) if a sensing has been performed today as described above, and in this case, the sensor unit enters the standby mode (SLEEP) (S500).
The sensor unit entering the standby mode (SLEEP) wakes up after a predetermined time is elapsed and transmits a control request signal to the AP again (S100), and in the present invention, the standby mode and the active mode awakening from the standby mode are repeated alternately.
Referring to
First, at the step of waking up from a standby mode and requesting the AP to control by the sensor unit (S100), the sensor unit wakes up from the SLEEP (S110) and requests the AP to control through the gateway (S120).
Thereafter, at the step of determining whether motion detection is needed and transmitting a motion detection signal to the sensor unit by the AP (S200), when the AP receives a control request signal of the sensor unit through the gateway (S210), it determines whether motion detection is needed (S220). For example, it is determined whether sensing has been performed today, whether today is an operating date, whether today is an operating day, and whether the current time is business hours, and when sensing has not been performed today, today is an operating date other than non-operating dates, today is an operating day, and the current time is business hours, the AP transmits a motion detection signal the sensor unit through the gateway (S230).
However, when it corresponds to any one among the cases where sensing has been performed today, today is a non-operating date, today is not an operating day, and the current time is not business hours as a result of the determination, the AP transmits a signal directing to enter the SLEEP mode, i.e., the standby mode, until next operating time to sensor unit through the gateway (S240).
As the SLEEP signal includes a duration of time for sustaining the standby mode, when the time is elapsed, the sensor unit may wake up from the SLEEP (S110) and perform the steps from the beginning.
Thereafter, at the step of sensing motion and beginning safety diagnosis sensing only when a motion is detected by the sensor unit (S300), the sensor unit receiving the motion detection signal from the AP through the gateway begins motion detection (S310).
In this case, a motion is detected through the motion detection sensor as described above, and the motion detection sensor may detect movement by deriving a voltage difference using one of a plurality of sensor nodes of the safety diagnosis sensor, or may detect movement by deriving a change in position using a gyro sensor connected to be separate from the safety diagnosis sensor.
When a motion is detected (S320) after the motion detection has begun (S310), safety diagnosis sensing begins through the safety diagnosis sensor of the sensor unit (S330). This is to save power consumed by the sensor unit by performing safety diagnosis only when there is a movement.
However, when a motion is not detected (S320) after the motion detection has begun (S310), the motion detection is continued (S310).
Here, the sensor unit continues motion detection when a motion is not detected, and since the sensor unit may request control by sending a hash message to the AP at every predetermined time, the motion detection may be terminated when the AP separately requests another operation.
Thereafter, at the step of determining a wire rope defect by the platform when the safety diagnosis sensing is terminated and the AP is requested to control (S400), the sensor unit stores the sensor data generated by performing the safety diagnosis sensing in the database, and transmits the sensor data and a control request signal to the AP through the gateway when the safety diagnosis sensing is terminated (S410).
Here, the AP may receive the control request signal (S210), determine whether motion detection is needed again (S220), and transmit any one command among a motion detection signal (Detect), a standby mode entrance signal (Sleep), and an immediate safety diagnosis sensing signal (Active) to the sensor unit through the gateway (S230 and S240, active signal is not shown).
Here, the sensor unit receiving the standby mode entrance signal (SLEEP) maintains the standby mode until next operating time, and then wakes up from SLEEP after a predetermined time is elapsed (S110), and may repeat the process from the first step of
Although not shown in

Here, the AP 210 means an access point of a platform, which is software for diagnosing low-power wire rope safety.
Accordingly, the sensor unit 100 performs a function of performing safety diagnosis sensing of the wire rope 10, detecting movement of the wire rope 10, entering SLEEP (standby mode) that prevents power consumption, and transmitting data to the gateway 400.
Here, each sensor node of the sensor unit 100 may be paired by transmitting a contact request (contact req) to the gateway 400 when the power is turned on and receiving a contact response (contact res).
Here, the standby mode may be expressed as SLEEP, and the standby mode means a mode in which a plurality of sensor nodes of the sensor unit that consume much power does not sense, and minimal power is consumed by turning off the RF of the sensor unit to check only the time.
Here, when the sensor unit enters the standby mode, a duration of time for sustaining the standby mode is set in advance, and when a preset time is elapsed after the sensor unit enters the standby mode, the sensor unit wakes up from the standby mode.
Here, as the duration of time for sustaining the standby mode, a standby time may be diversely determined based on the time of using the wire rope, and the AP may variably apply the standby time.
Therefore, only time is checked in the standby mode.
Here, during the time other than the standby mode, it may be expressed as an active mode.
When the standby mode is switched to the active mode, the turned-off RF is turned on, and the sensor node and the RF are activated.
The sensor unit 100 includes a motion detection sensor for detecting movement of a wire rope and switching from the standby mode to the active mode, a safety diagnosis sensor for measuring defects of the wire rope, and a plurality of sensor nodes, an RF, and the like for sensing a wire rope through the sensors and transmitting a signal including sensor data generated as a result of the sensing to the gateway.
Here, the platform 200 is software for diagnosing wire rope safety with low power and is also referred to as platform software.
Here, the platform 200 includes an AP 210 for determining whether motion detection is needed when a control request signal is received from the sensor unit 100 and transmitting a motion detection signal to the sensor unit 100 when it is determined that motion detection is needed, and the platform 200 requests the artificial intelligence server 300 to perform defect determination of a wire rope.
Here, when the AP 210 receives the control request signal from the sensor unit 100 through the gateway 400, it determines whether motion detection is needed, and transmits a motion detection signal to the sensor unit 100 when it is determined that motion detection is needed.
Here, when the AP 210 determines that motion detection is needed, any one command among a motion detection signal (Detect), a standby mode entrance signal (Sleep), and an immediate safety diagnosis sensing signal (Active) may be transmitted to the sensor unit 100 through the gateway 400 according to a condition set in advance by the operator.
Here, the sensor unit 100 may classify the received command and begin motion detection when the command is the motion detection signal (Detect), immediately enter the standby mode when the command is the standby mode entrance signal (Sleep), and immediately begin a wire rope safety diagnosis without motion detection when the command is the immediate safety diagnosis sensing signal (Active).
Here, the condition for determining whether motion detection is needed by the AP 210 may be set as a case of satisfying one or more conditions, and description thereof is as described above.
Here, the platform 200 controls the sensor unit 100 to collect, store or process sensor data through the gateway 400, manages defects of the wire rope, expresses wire rope defect management status on a dashboard or the like, and transmits a defect state to users.
Here, when the sensor unit 100 receives a motion detection signal from the AP 210 through the gateway 400, the sensor unit begins to detect motion through the motion detection sensor, and when a motion is detected, the safety diagnosis sensor begins safety diagnosis sensing of the wire rope 10.
Here, the motion detection sensor is a sensor included in the sensor unit 100, which is one of a plurality of sensor nodes included in the safety diagnosis sensor, and it measures magnetic force of an object, compares a voltage measured before a predetermined time and a currently measured voltage, and determines that a motion is detected when the voltage difference exceeds a threshold voltage value.
Here, when magnetic force is measured and the magnetic flux changes, the voltage difference can be derived as the voltage changes accordingly.
In addition, the threshold voltage value may be set in advance by the operator.
Description thereof made through an example is as described above.
In addition, the motion detection sensor is a sensor included in the sensor unit 100, which is not one of the sensor nodes included in the safety diagnosis sensor, but a gyro sensor connected to be separate from the safety diagnosis sensor to detect vertical movement, and it may compare the coordinate value of an object measured before a predetermined time with a currently measured coordinate value, and determine that a motion is detected when the z-axis change exceeds a threshold change.
Here, when the moving range of a wire rope 10, which is an object, in the vertical direction exceeds the threshold change preset by the operator, it is determined that a motion is detected.
As unnecessary safety diagnosis is reduced by detecting movement through one of sensor nodes of the safety diagnosis sensor or a separate gyro sensor without immediately performing safety diagnosis of a wire rope as described above, and performing safety diagnosis only when a movement is detected, power can be used efficiently.
The sensor unit 100 stores the sensor data generated by performing the safety diagnosis sensing in a database 500, terminates the safety diagnosis sensing after a predetermined time is elapsed, and transmits the stored data and a control request signal to the AP 210 through the gateway 400.
Here, when the sensor unit 100 terminates the safety diagnosis sensing and requests the AP 210 to control, the platform 200 requests the artificial intelligence server 300 to perform signal processing and defect determination on the sensor data, and the artificial intelligence server 300 may determine a defect of the wire rope 10 through deep learning.

Here, the database 500 stores sensor data or the like generated by the sensor unit 100 through safety diagnosis sensing of the wire rope 10.
As described above, according to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to improve efficiency in diagnosing safety of a wire rope by saving power in a way of switching a sensor to a standby mode during other than a predetermined period of time, and sensing motion only when needed to perform a safety diagnosis only when a movement is detected, and as deep learning is used in the safety diagnosis, a more consistent and correct defect diagnosis can be made.
