The system also has shortcomings. First, the system is complex in design and low in integration, which is not conducive to portability; second, the sonar probe is installed on the roof, and the sound energy attenuation is relatively large.

具体实施方式detailed description

下面结合附图对本发明的技术方案进行详细说明:The technical scheme of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing:

首先,介绍一下BP神经网络,BP神经网络又称为误差反向传播神经网络,在BP网络中,信号是前向传播的,误差是反向传播的。在前向传播过程中,输入信号经输入层、隐含层,逐层处理,并传向输出层。信号在输出层如果不能得到期望的输出,则转入反向传播过程,将误差值逐层反向传送,并修正各层连接权值。对于给定的一组训练样本,不断用一个模式训练网络,重复前向传播和误差反向传播过程,直至网络输出误差小于给定值为止。BP算法沿着梯度的反方向改变权值和偏差。定义误差函数为:First, introduce the BP neural network. The BP neural network is also called the error backpropagation neural network. In the BP network, the signal is propagated forward, and the error is propagated backward. In the process of forward propagation, the input signal is processed layer by layer through the input layer and the hidden layer, and then transmitted to the output layer. If the signal cannot get the expected output at the output layer, it will be transferred to the back propagation process, and the error value will be reversed layer by layer, and the connection weights of each layer will be corrected. For a given set of training samples, the network is continuously trained with a pattern, and the process of forward propagation and error back propagation is repeated until the network output error is less than a given value. The BP algorithm changes the weights and biases along the opposite direction of the gradient. Define the error function as:

EE. == 11 22 NN ΣΣ tt == 11 NN (( ythe y (( tt )) -- ythe y dd (( tt )) )) 22

其中,N为训练样本数,y(t)为t时刻BP神经网络输出,yd(t)为t时刻期望输出值。Among them, N is the number of training samples, y(t) is the output of BP neural network at time t, and y d (t) is the expected output value at time t.

用BP算法训练网络时,调整网络的连接权值,其调整表达式为:When using the BP algorithm to train the network, adjust the connection weight of the network, and the adjustment expression is:

ww (( tt ++ 11 )) == ww (( tt )) ++ ηη ∂∂ EE. (( tt )) ∂∂ ww (( tt ))

其中,w(t)为t时刻的神经网络的连接权值,w(t+1)为(t+1)时刻神经网络的连接权值,E(t)为t时刻神经网络的均方误差,η学习速率。Among them, w(t) is the connection weight of the neural network at time t, w(t+1) is the connection weight of the neural network at time (t+1), and E(t) is the mean square error of the neural network at time t , η learning rate.

误差反传的BP算法是一个较为简单且实用的学习算法,标准的BP算法通常学习收敛速度较慢,而且容易陷入局部最小。The BP algorithm of error backpropagation is a relatively simple and practical learning algorithm. The standard BP algorithm usually has a slow learning convergence speed and is easy to fall into a local minimum.

下面介绍本发明的超声波动态液位检测方法,如图1所示,本发明提出了一种基于神经网络的超声波动态液位检测方法,包括:Introduce the ultrasonic dynamic liquid level detection method of the present invention below, as shown in Figure 1, the present invention proposes a kind of ultrasonic dynamic liquid level detection method based on neural network, comprising:

Wherein the single-chip microcomputer may be AT89S52 single-chip microcomputer, which is used for controlling and processing ultrasonic dynamic liquid level detection. The conditioning circuit consists of six parts: ultrasonic transmitting circuit, ultrasonic receiving preamplifier circuit, ultrasonic receiving signal amplifier circuit, ultrasonic receiving detection circuit, ultrasonic receiving comparison circuit and single-chip peripheral circuit. Specifically: the ultrasonic transmitting circuit is used to generate pulsed ultrasonic waves, It is controlled by a single-chip microcomputer to realize three-way simultaneous transmission of signals, generating high-voltage pulses with a frequency similar to that of the ultrasonic sensor probe, and stimulating the ultrasonic sensor to transmit pulsed ultrasonic waves at the same time; the ultrasonic receiving preamplifier circuit is composed of a charge amplifier to achieve impedance matching with the ultrasonic receiving transducer ;The ultrasonic receiving signal amplification circuit is composed of two-stage inverting amplifiers, which realize the amplification of weak ultrasonic echo signals; The comparison circuit compares the pulse signal detected by the envelope detection circuit with the reference voltage set by the system, the comparator will output a digital signal 1 or 0, and the output signal of the comparator is reversed by the inverter and then sent to the external interrupt of the microcontroller Control port P3.2; the peripheral circuit of the single-chip microcomputer is composed of crystal oscillator circuit, reset circuit and liquid crystal display circuit, which together constitute the core control part of dynamic liquid level detection.

上述基于神经网络的超声波动态液位检测方法原理如下:检测时,三个超声波传感器A、B、C同时发射脉冲超声波,但由于三个超声波传感器的探头所对应的液位高度不同,所以,每个超声传感器接收到的回波时刻也不同,根据每个超声波传感器接收到的回波信号可以分别计算得到这三个探头的声波信号来回所用时间,然后计算得到每一个超声波传感器的探头所对应的液位高度,并选取这三个探头离液面的液位高度的平均值与晃动梯度作为特征参数,用以训练BP神经网络,得到动态液位的数学模型,然后将该模型应用于实时动态液位的监测中。由于三个探头分别布置于以容器底部中心为原点三个象限内,无论液体怎样晃动,三个探头测量的液位总有一个最大值和最小值,而最大值与最小值之差即可确定液体的晃动梯度。The principle of the above-mentioned ultrasonic dynamic liquid level detection method based on neural network is as follows: during detection, the three ultrasonic sensors A, B, and C emit pulsed ultrasonic waves at the same time, but since the liquid level heights corresponding to the probes of the three ultrasonic sensors are different, each The echo time received by each ultrasonic sensor is also different. According to the echo signal received by each ultrasonic sensor, the time used for the sound wave signal of the three probes to go back and forth can be calculated separately, and then the time corresponding to the probe of each ultrasonic sensor can be calculated. The liquid level height, and select the average value of the liquid level height of the three probes from the liquid surface and the sloshing gradient as the characteristic parameters to train the BP neural network to obtain the mathematical model of the dynamic liquid level, and then apply the model to the real-time dynamic liquid level monitoring. Since the three probes are respectively arranged in three quadrants with the center of the bottom of the container as the origin, no matter how the liquid shakes, the liquid level measured by the three probes always has a maximum value and a minimum value, and the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value can be determined Liquid sloshing gradient.

具体的基于神经网络的超声波动态液位检测过程如下:The specific process of ultrasonic dynamic liquid level detection based on neural network is as follows:

步骤1:单片机利用超声波发射电路向三个超声波传感器发送控制信号,同时启动定时器开始计时和激励三路超声波发射电路产生脉冲超声波;Step 1: The single-chip microcomputer uses the ultrasonic transmitting circuit to send control signals to the three ultrasonic sensors, and at the same time starts the timer to start timing and stimulates the three-way ultrasonic transmitting circuit to generate pulsed ultrasonic waves;

步骤2:超声波遇液面后反射,三个超声波传感器分别接收到反射后的回波信号后,并将回波信号转化为电压信号,并将该电压信号发送到前置放大电路;Step 2: The ultrasonic waves are reflected after meeting the liquid surface, and the three ultrasonic sensors respectively receive the reflected echo signals, convert the echo signals into voltage signals, and send the voltage signals to the preamplifier circuit;

步骤3:前置放大电路接收了电压信号后,经前置放大电路放大后的电压信号发送给超声波接收检波电路,实现对高频输入信号的包络检波;Step 3: After the pre-amplification circuit receives the voltage signal, the voltage signal amplified by the pre-amplification circuit is sent to the ultrasonic receiving and detecting circuit to realize the envelope detection of the high-frequency input signal;

步骤4:将经包络检波电路检波后的电压信号发送给接收比较电路,接收比较电路将经包络检波电路检波后的电压信号和系统设置的参考电压进行比较,根据比较结果输出数字信号,并将输出信号经反相器反向后送给单片机的外部中断控制口,外部中断控制口设为跳变触发,当外部中断控制口接收到有效下降沿后,单片机产生中断,记录当前时刻的定时器值,单片机中断三次后定时器停止计时;Step 4: Send the voltage signal detected by the envelope detection circuit to the receiving comparison circuit, and the receiving comparison circuit compares the voltage signal detected by the envelope detection circuit with the reference voltage set by the system, and outputs a digital signal according to the comparison result, And the output signal is reversed by the inverter and then sent to the external interrupt control port of the single chip microcomputer. The external interrupt control port is set as a jump trigger. When the external interrupt control port receives a valid falling edge, the single chip microcomputer generates an interrupt and records the current time. Timer value, the timer stops counting after the microcontroller is interrupted three times;

步骤5:通过计算三次记录的定时器值的平均值和晃动梯度,其中晃动梯度为三次测得时最大值与最小值的差值,将平均值和晃动梯度作为神经网络所需的输入参量,将这两个参量发送给已训练好的神经网络数学模型,并获得经神经网络的输出值,输出值为当前时刻的液位值。然后不断循环上述过程,系统便能实现对晃动液体进行实时动态地监测。本系统也可实现对静态液位的监测。静态液体晃动梯度小,接近为零,此时取三点测量的平均值作为静态液位值。Step 5: By calculating the average value and shaking gradient of the timer values recorded three times, wherein the shaking gradient is the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value during the three measurements, the average value and shaking gradient are used as the input parameters required by the neural network, Send these two parameters to the trained neural network mathematical model, and obtain the output value through the neural network, the output value is the liquid level value at the current moment. Then, the above-mentioned process is continuously circulated, and the system can realize real-time dynamic monitoring of the sloshing liquid. This system can also realize the monitoring of the static liquid level. The gradient of static liquid sloshing is small, close to zero, and the average value of three-point measurements is taken as the static liquid level value.

在本发明具体实施例中,优选的,超声波传感器均采用收发一体式,探头频率为1MHz。在实验室条件下,用手晃动铁罐中的水模拟液体在运输过程中的晃动,图3为实验中测得的三个超声波探头测量晃动液体时的不同回波信号,其中(a)、(b)、(c)分别为传感器A、B、C测得的回波信号。实施时,将液位从2cm到50cm测得的100组数据作为训练样本,在该范围内抽取十组数据作为测试样本。In a specific embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the ultrasonic sensors all adopt a transceiver-integrated type, and the probe frequency is 1 MHz. Under laboratory conditions, shake the water in the iron tank by hand to simulate the sloshing of the liquid during transportation. Figure 3 shows the different echo signals of the three ultrasonic probes measured in the experiment when the sloshing liquid is measured, where (a), (b), (c) are the echo signals measured by sensors A, B, and C respectively. During implementation, 100 sets of data measured from the liquid level from 2cm to 50cm are used as training samples, and ten sets of data are drawn within this range as test samples.

本发明实施例中的BP神经网络有两个输入参量,一个输出参量,则将BP网络的输入层设为2个神经元,隐含层设为一层,输出层为1个神经元。实施时设定神经网络的均方误差为1×10-5,学习速率为0.05,最大训练步数为500。通过实验可知当隐含层神经元个数为8时,训练次数最少,因此,选择2×8×1的网络进行训练。网络隐含层的传递函数为tansig,输出层为purelin。为使网络能够快速收敛,采用Levenberg-Marquardt的学习算法。由图4可知,网络经过90次训练后,网络的均方误差满足设计要求,网络停止训练。The BP neural network in the embodiment of the present invention has two input parameters and one output parameter, then the input layer of the BP network is set as 2 neurons, the hidden layer is set as one layer, and the output layer is 1 neuron. During implementation, the mean square error of the neural network is set to 1×10 -5 , the learning rate is 0.05, and the maximum number of training steps is 500. It can be seen from experiments that when the number of neurons in the hidden layer is 8, the number of training times is the least. Therefore, a network of 2×8×1 is selected for training. The transfer function of the hidden layer of the network is tansig, and the output layer is purelin. In order to make the network converge quickly, the learning algorithm of Levenberg-Marquardt is adopted. It can be seen from Figure 4 that after the network has been trained for 90 times, the mean square error of the network meets the design requirements, and the network stops training.

将10组测试样本输入训练好的BP神经网络,测试结果如图5所示。由图5可知,测试样本的总体相对误差较小,网络输出的准确性较高,且输出结果稳定。虽然网络训练时需要一定的时间,但网络训练好后,实际应用时所需时间极短,系统完全可以实现对动态液位进行监测。Input 10 groups of test samples into the trained BP neural network, and the test results are shown in Figure 5. It can be seen from Figure 5 that the overall relative error of the test sample is small, the accuracy of the network output is high, and the output result is stable. Although the network training takes a certain amount of time, after the network training is completed, the time required for practical application is extremely short, and the system can completely monitor the dynamic liquid level.
