Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent monitoring technology, and in particular to a multi-sensor based mechanical equipment status monitoring method and system. Background Art
[0002] In the field of intelligent monitoring of industrial equipment, existing technologies primarily rely on single sensors or fixed-weight fusion solutions, making them incapable of addressing the multi-dimensional monitoring needs of complex mechanical systems. Traditional approaches suffer from the following common problems: First, single sensors monitor a single dimension, capturing only a single physical quantity such as vibration or temperature. They are unable to identify multi-parameter coupled faults, resulting in missed detection rates exceeding 30%. Second, asynchronous data acquisition by independent sensors causes timestamp errors, and significant dimensional differences. Traditional normalization methods ignore signal correlations, resulting in inefficient feature fusion. Furthermore, fixed-weight models cannot adapt to dynamic load fluctuations. Under high loads, key features are easily overwhelmed by noise, while under low loads, abnormal signal sensitivity is insufficient, leading to false alarm rates increasing to 40% with fluctuations in operating conditions. At the maintenance strategy level, reliance on manual experience or scheduled maintenance can lead to both over-maintenance and the risk of unplanned downtime due to delayed maintenance. Centralized data processing solutions also face the risk of industrial data leakage, while limited edge computing power makes real-time diagnostic capabilities difficult to meet high-precision monitoring requirements.
[0003] The core bottleneck of existing technologies lies in the dual lack of "efficient fusion of multi-source data" and "construction of an intelligent decision-making closed loop"; on the one hand, complex mechanical systems (such as CNC machine tool spindles and wind turbine gearboxes) need to synchronously process multimodal data such as vibration, temperature, and current, but traditional architectures lack effective support for sensor spatiotemporal synchronization, noise robustness fusion, and load adaptive weighting, resulting in incomplete extraction of abnormal features; on the other hand, there is a "data-decision-making" fault between fault diagnosis and maintenance strategies. It is impossible to accurately trace the source of faults through digital twin technology, and it is difficult to dynamically optimize maintenance actions based on real-time working conditions. As a result, equipment health management has long remained in the "monitoring-alarm" stage, and has not formed an intelligent closed loop of "diagnosis-prediction-maintenance". In view of this, we propose a multi-sensor-based mechanical equipment condition monitoring method and system. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and system for monitoring the condition of mechanical equipment based on multiple sensors, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

Wavelet denoising addresses the issue of vibration signals being susceptible to cutting fluid impact and motor electromagnetic interference. Normalization unifies the data from different sensors into a standard normal distribution using the following formula: , in, It is the normalized data value, which is used to eliminate the dimension difference of different sensor data and facilitate unified analysis. Collect data for raw sensors, is the original data mean, The above formula converts the raw data of different sensors into standard normal distribution data with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1 through normalization, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent feature fusion. S2. Dynamic multimodal feature fusion: Construct a dynamic weighted model of attention mechanism, based on the real-time load coefficient L= Adjust the weight of each modal feature , the formula is as follows: , in, For the The feature weight of the modality, It is a real-time load system, calculated by the torque sensor and defined as the ratio of the real-time torque to the rated torque. For the The a priori importance coefficient of the mode, is the total number of sensor modes, is an exponential function used to amplify the weight differences of different modes under different loads. The above formula implements dynamic weighting based on the SoftMax function, which automatically increases the weight of key features such as vibration under high load; S3, Adaptive threshold diagnosis: Use Gaussian mixture model to cluster the fusion features, combined with Mahalanobis distance Dynamic update of alarm thresholds: , in, is the Mahalanobis distance, which is used to measure the degree of deviation between the current feature vector and the normal operating condition distribution. The larger the value, the higher the abnormal probability. is the fusion feature vector at the current moment, is the cluster center vector of the Gaussian mixture model, which is calculated in real time by the GMM algorithm. is the covariance matrix, The inverse matrix is used to dynamically calculate the difference between the feature vector and the normal distribution through the Mahalanobis distance.
