  • 摘要: 近年来,随着智能家电市场规模的迅速扩大,其安全风险问题日益凸显。智能家电具有软硬件高度集成、系统架构复杂且与用户和环境深度交互的特性,传统风险评估方法存在明显不足。为此,本文提出一种基于知识图谱的STPA-FMEA智能家电风险评估方法,并以扫地机器人为对象开展研究。研究首先构建适用于智能家电产品的通用风险评估方法,融合知识图谱、系统理论过程分析(STPA)、失效模式与影响分析(FMEA),形成数据整合、系统分析与风险控制的逻辑闭环。基于此方法完成三方面核心研究内容。其一,构建面向扫地机器人风险评估领域的知识图谱。其二,基于知识图谱使用STPA-FMEA方法对扫地机器人开展风险分析,建立了五级风险评估指标体系,识别潜在的风险场景。其三,针对高风险场景提出风险控制策略。通过研究,识别出与扫地机器人相关的34种风险场景,明确了高风险场景和关键风险部件,并针对高风险场景提出优化用户操作引导、改进反馈与控制策略等措施。

     

    Abstract: With the rapid expansion of the smart home appliance market, safety risks have become increasingly prominent. The integration of hardware and software, complex system architectures, and deep interactions in smart appliances contribute to diverse risk scenarios. Traditional risk assessment methods face challenges in multi-source data integration and multidimensional analysis. This study proposes a knowledge graph-integrated STPA-FMEA framework for smart appliance risk assessment, with a sweeping robot as a case study. The research establishes a unified risk assessment framework combining knowledge graphs, System-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). Three core contributions are presented: First, a domain-specific knowledge graph for sweeping robot risk assessment is constructed. Multi-source heterogeneous data are integrated using the seven-step ontology modeling method, with Protégé and Neo4j enabling visualization. Second, STPA-FMEA is applied for risk identification, leveraging Cypher queries and mapping rules to automate hierarchical control structure extraction and component failure mode analysis. A five-level risk assessment indicator system is developed, with risks quantified through an enhanced Risk Priority Number (RPN) method incorporating user impact and environmental factors. High-risk scenarios (e.g., mechanical entanglement, motor overheating) and critical components (e.g., batteries, charging docks, sensors) are identified, accompanied by targeted control strategies. Third, in the quantitative assessment phase of FMEA, an improved method for calculating the Risk Priority Number (RPN) was innovatively proposed, incorporating user impact and environmental impact coefficients. By integrating expert scoring and fuzzy evaluation methods, a comprehensive assessment of risk scenarios was conducted, yielding multiple RPN values. This approach enhances the alignment of evaluation results with actual conditions. In the results analysis section, the study examined traditional RPN, the influences of user and environmental factors, and improved RPN from multiple dimensions. This clarified high-risk scenarios and critical risk components, while revealing the differential impacts of various factors on risk scenarios. A thorough evaluation and analysis of potential risk scenarios in the robotic vacuum cleaner system were conducted, and comprehensive control strategies targeting high-risk scenarios were proposed from the perspective of control and feedback mechanisms. The framework identifies 34 risk scenarios, pinpoints critical components, and proposes mitigation strategies. Results demonstrate that knowledge graphs enable structured multi-source data integration, STPA-FMEA reveals systemic risk pathways through dual perspectives. This method not only provides a solid theoretical foundation for improving the safety and risk management of smart home appliances, but also demonstrates strong potential for broader application in the risk analysis of other intelligent systems and complex devices.
