Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of information technology, and in particular to a predictive maintenance method and system for air-suspended fans based on digital twins. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of industrial waste heat recovery systems, the stable operation of air-suspended fans is crucial for efficient energy utilization and environmental protection. Foil bearings, due to their advantages such as oil-free lubrication and high-speed adaptability, are key components supporting the efficient operation of these fans. However, under extreme conditions of sudden influx of high-temperature, dust-laden exhaust gas, the stability of the bearings faces severe challenges. Therefore, researching thermal shock protection technology based on digital twins has become an important direction for improving system reliability. Currently, the industrial sector generally relies on traditional simulation and empirical design to optimize bearing performance. However, these methods are insufficient in handling dynamic responses under abrupt changes, often neglecting the real-time impact of transient thermo-mechanical coupling and gas property changes, leading to decreased prediction accuracy and difficulty in effectively preventing the risk of impact wear. Existing solutions mostly focus on bearing design and optimization under static conditions, with few systematic studies addressing dynamic disturbances such as sudden changes in inlet airflow temperature and composition. This limitation makes it impossible for traditional methods to accurately capture transient phenomena such as non-uniform thermal expansion of the foil, fluctuations in gas film stiffness damping, and minimum gas film thickness approaching the impact-abrasion threshold. Especially in high-temperature, dusty environments, gas viscosity fluctuates significantly due to changes in temperature and impurity content, further exacerbating the complexity of prediction. The core challenge lies in how to accurately characterize the rapid reduction in local gaps caused by foil thermal expansion under abrupt changes, the dynamic imbalance of gas film properties due to changes in physical properties, and the transient evolution process when the minimum gas film thickness approaches the impact-abrasion threshold. If these technical factors are not properly addressed, they will directly induce bearing instability or even failure, threatening the safe operation of the entire waste heat recovery system. Therefore, how to combine digital twin system technology, integrate the thermo-mechanical coupling effect of materials with changes in gas physical properties through transient simulation models, and assess the probability of impact-abrasion risk in real time has become a key issue in ensuring the effectiveness of the bearing stability prediction mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a predictive maintenance method for air-suspended fans based on digital twins, mainly including:

[0004] The characteristics of airflow abrupt change when high-temperature dust-laden exhaust gas enters the air suspension fan are collected and transmitted to the digital twin system to determine the characteristics of airflow abrupt change.

[0005] The transient thermal expansion distribution of the foil is calculated based on the characteristics of sudden airflow changes. The non-uniform expansion amount in each region of the foil is obtained by combining the interaction between the temperature field and the stress-strain field of the material.

[0006] The shrinkage trend of the local gap between the foil and the bearing is extracted from the non-uniform expansion of the foil, and the spatial distribution after the gap shrinkage is calculated to obtain the target air film thickness value.

[0007] The target air film thickness is compared with a preset impact threshold. If it is less than the threshold, the probability of impact risk is assessed using the Monte Carlo method.

[0008] If the probability of collision and abrasion exceeds the preset safety range, the range of air film stiffness fluctuation is calculated based on gas dynamics theory.

[0009] Based on the fluctuation range of air film stiffness, combined with the real-time acquisition of the operating conditions and bearing structure of the air suspension fan, the dynamic response parameters of the foil bearing of the air suspension fan are calculated using a fluid-structure interaction algorithm.

[0010] Vibration amplitude analysis results are extracted from the dynamic response parameters of the foil bearing of the air suspension fan, and stability prediction index is calculated.

[0011] An adaptive filtering algorithm is used to optimize the real-time evaluation logic of the preset digital twin system, and the bearing wear monitoring data is updated based on the stability prediction index to determine the failure probability evaluation result.

[0012] Based on the failure probability assessment results, control commands are generated and transmitted to the thermal shock protection module of the air suspension fan to generate a dynamic adjustment scheme for bearing stability.

[0013] Furthermore, the characteristics of airflow abrupt changes when high-temperature dust-laden exhaust gas enters the air suspension fan are collected and transmitted to the digital twin system to determine the characteristics of airflow abrupt changes. This includes: collecting airflow pressure data at five measuring points deployed in the gas flow channel using piezoelectric pressure sensors; calculating the airflow pressure change rate by dividing the pressure difference between adjacent measuring points by the sampling time interval; dynamically adjusting the sampling frequency according to the airflow turbulence intensity to generate an airflow pressure abrupt change dataset. Dust concentration data in the exhaust gas is obtained from a dust concentration sensor. Based on the dust particle size range, the concentration data is divided into three levels: less than 10 micrometers, 10 to 50 micrometers, and greater than 50 micrometers, for counting and statistical analysis. This data is then combined with the airflow pressure abrupt change dataset from step one to calculate the gas-solid two-phase flow velocity field distribution. Based on the exhaust gas temperature data measured by a thermocouple temperature sensor and combined with the gas-solid two-phase flow velocity field distribution obtained in step two, a temperature field distribution parameter set including temperature gradient, heat flux, and convective heat transfer coefficient is established for each measuring point. A data acquisition device is used to synchronize the data sets of abrupt changes in airflow pressure, velocity field distribution, and temperature field distribution in gas-solid two-phase flow with time, generating a multi-dimensional airflow characteristic data set. An airflow state space is constructed based on this multi-dimensional airflow characteristic data set, and the mapping relationship between the four parameters—airflow pressure, flow rate, dust concentration, and temperature—is calculated using the least squares method to obtain the airflow abrupt change characteristic parameter matrix.

[0014] Furthermore, the transient thermal expansion distribution of the foil is calculated based on the characteristics of abrupt airflow changes. Combining the interaction between the material's temperature field and stress-strain field, the non-uniform expansion of each region of the foil is obtained.

The dominant vibration frequency is determined by combining the vibration frequency ratio parameter. Based on the dominant vibration frequency, an air film thickness distribution function is constructed. The air film pressure fluctuation curve is fitted using the least squares method, and the minimum air film thickness is solved using the aerodynamic balance equation. Furthermore, vibration amplitude analysis results are extracted from the dynamic response parameters of the air-suspended fan foil bearing to calculate stability prediction indices. This includes: extracting the vibration time-domain signal from the dynamic response parameters of the air-suspended fan foil bearing, decomposing the frequency components of the vibration signal using wavelet transform, and constructing the vibration amplitude envelope spectrum using Hilbert transform. The amplitude ratio of two adjacent vibration cycles is calculated based on the vibration amplitude envelope spectrum. A vibration response equation is established based on the amplitude decay law, and the logarithmic decay rate is calculated using the damping coefficient. A bearing stability evaluation matrix is ​​constructed based on the logarithmic decay rate and the dynamic stiffness ratio. The eddy component in the vibration signal is extracted using fast Fourier transform to obtain eddy angular velocity data.

[0018] Furthermore, an adaptive filtering algorithm is employed to optimize the pre-defined real-time evaluation logic of the digital twin system. Bearing wear monitoring data is updated based on stability prediction indices to determine the failure probability assessment results. This includes: constructing an adaptive filtering parameter matrix based on stability prediction indices; using a state observation equation to describe the characteristics of the bearing wear data; and dynamically adjusting the filtering gain coefficient by measuring the noise variance.

[0019] Furthermore, joint time-domain and frequency-domain indices are extracted from bearing wear monitoring data, input into a preset stability prediction model, and output as a prediction residual sequence. A covariance matrix is ​​calculated based on the prediction residual sequence, and this covariance matrix is ​​used to update the noise suppression coefficient of the adaptive filtering algorithm. The bearing wear monitoring data is reconstructed based on the updated noise suppression coefficient to generate a wear time-series curve.

[0033] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a predictive maintenance method for air-suspended fans based on digital twins according to the present invention.

[0034] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a predictive maintenance system for air-suspended fans based on digital twins according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] like Figure 1-2 This embodiment of a predictive maintenance method for air-suspended fans based on digital twins may specifically include:

[0037] S101. Real-time airflow change characteristics when high-temperature dusty exhaust gas enters the air suspension fan are collected by sensors and transmitted to the digital twin system to determine the airflow change characteristic parameters.

[0038] The operating environment of air-suspended fans is complex, and sudden changes in high-temperature, dusty exhaust gas can cause bearing stability issues. Therefore, it is necessary to collect airflow characteristic data in real time using sensors and transmit it to a digital twin system for analysis. The collected airflow characteristics include pressure, flow rate, dust concentration, and temperature, and the specific operation is completed collaboratively by multiple sensors. The data acquisition process must ensure data synchronization and accuracy to support subsequent transient simulations and risk assessments.

[0039] S1011. Collect airflow pressure data using a piezoelectric pressure sensor, calculate the pressure change rate, and generate an airflow pressure abrupt change dataset.

[0040] Piezoelectric pressure sensors are deployed at multiple measuring points within the airflow channel to collect airflow pressure data in real time. Based on the pressure difference between adjacent measuring points and the sampling time interval, the pressure change rate is calculated, forming a dataset of sudden airflow pressure changes. The sampling frequency can be dynamically adjusted according to the airflow turbulence intensity to improve data accuracy. For example, with five measuring points set up in the airflow channel, with an adjacent spacing of 2 meters, pressure values ​​of 98 kPa, 97 kPa, 95 kPa, 92 kPa, and 88 kPa, and a sampling interval of 0.1 seconds, the calculated pressure change rate reflects the trend of airflow energy loss.

[0041] S1012. Collect dust concentration data through a dust concentration sensor, and calculate the velocity field distribution of the gas-solid two-phase flow by combining the data with the airflow pressure change dataset.

[0042] Dust concentration sensors are used to acquire dust concentration data in exhaust gas and classify it according to particle size range, for example, into three categories: less than 10 micrometers, 10 to 50 micrometers, and greater than 50 micrometers, with concentrations of 280 mg / m³. 3 150mg / m 3 and 70mg / m 3 By combining a dataset of abrupt changes in airflow pressure, a numerical calculation method is used to generate the velocity field distribution of the gas-solid two-phase flow, characterizing the following characteristics of small-diameter dust particles and the inertial hysteresis characteristics of large-diameter dust particles.

[0043] S1013. Collect exhaust gas temperature data through thermocouple temperature sensors, and generate a temperature field distribution parameter set by combining the gas-solid two-phase flow velocity field distribution.

[0044] Thermocouple temperature sensors measure the exhaust gas temperature, with an inlet temperature of 650 degrees Celsius and an outlet temperature of 580 degrees Celsius, exhibiting a non-linear decay along the flow path. Combined with the gas-solid two-phase flow velocity field distribution, the temperature gradient, heat flux, and convective heat transfer coefficient are calculated for each measuring point, forming a temperature field distribution parameter set. For example, the heat flux in the inlet region is 4200 W / m². 2 The convective heat transfer coefficient is 85 W / (m·K), which is used for thermal expansion analysis.

[0045] S1014. Time synchronization processing is performed on the data set of sudden changes in airflow pressure, the velocity field distribution of gas-solid two-phase flow, and the temperature field distribution parameter set to construct the airflow state space and calculate the characteristic parameter matrix of sudden changes in airflow.

[0046] The aforementioned dataset was time-synchronized using a data acquisition device to generate a multi-dimensional airflow characteristic data set. Based on this data set, an airflow state space was constructed, and the mapping relationship between pressure, flow rate, dust concentration, and temperature was fitted using the least squares method to generate an airflow abrupt change characteristic parameter matrix. This matrix reflects the coupling relationship between parameters; for example, a 10 kPa decrease in pressure corresponds to a 20% decrease in flow rate, a 35% increase in dust concentration, and a 60-degree Celsius increase in temperature. When the monitored parameters exceed a preset threshold range, such as a pressure fluctuation of ±15 kPa, an alarm signal is output.

[0047] Through multi-sensor collaborative data acquisition and synchronous data processing, the abrupt changes in high-temperature dust-laden exhaust gas can be accurately characterized, providing reliable input for the analysis of foil thermal expansion and gas film thickness. In practical applications, the airflow abrupt change characteristic parameter matrix supports online monitoring and early warning, significantly improving the real-time performance and accuracy of bearing stability prediction and reducing the risk of rubbing caused by airflow disturbances.

[0048] S102. Based on the characteristic parameters of airflow sudden change, the transient thermal expansion distribution of the foil bearing of the air suspension fan is calculated by finite element analysis method. Combined with the thermo-mechanical coupling characteristics of the material, the non-uniform expansion amount of each region of the foil is determined.

[0049] The characteristic parameters of sudden airflow changes provide key inputs for the thermal expansion analysis of the foil, covering the dynamic changes in temperature, pressure, and dust concentration. Finite element analysis, by constructing a geometric model of the foil and combining it with the thermodynamic properties of the material, accurately simulates the transient thermal expansion behavior under the influence of high-temperature dusty exhaust gas. The calculation process must consider the interaction of the temperature field, stress field, and strain field to ensure the accuracy of the non-uniform expansion. This application does not impose excessive limitations on the specific mesh generation algorithm, which can be adjusted by technicians according to the actual scenario.

[0050] S1021. Based on the temperature data in the characteristic parameters of airflow sudden change, the initial temperature field distribution of the foil is generated by using adaptive grid partitioning technology.

[0051] Temperature data from the airflow abrupt change characteristic parameters is used to initialize the foil temperature field. An adaptive quadrilateral mesh is used to partition the foil geometry, with the mesh density dynamically adjusted according to the temperature gradient. For example, when the airflow temperature fluctuates between 350°C and 650°C, areas with larger temperature gradients on the foil surface require finer meshing, with a mesh size of approximately 0.5 mm at the edges and approximately 2 mm in the center. When the temperature gradient difference between adjacent mesh cells is less than a preset threshold of 5°C / mm, mesh convergence is determined, generating the initial temperature field distribution of the foil, providing a basis for stress analysis.

[0052] S1022. Combining the thermal expansion coefficient and elastic modulus of the material, the stress field distribution of the foil is calculated using the Lagrange interpolation method to generate the initial values ​​of the stress-strain field.

[0053] The coefficient of thermal expansion and the modulus of elasticity of foil materials are key parameters for calculating thermal stress. Taking stainless steel foil as an example, the coefficient of thermal expansion is 16.5 × 10⁻⁶. -6 The temperature is / degrees Celsius, and the elastic modulus is 193 GPa. Based on the initial temperature field distribution, the stress field distribution of each grid element node is calculated using the Lagrange interpolation method to generate initial values ​​for the stress and strain field. For example, when the temperature in the central region of the foil increases by 100 degrees Celsius, the main diagonal element of the thermal stress coefficient matrix is ​​approximately 320 MPa, and the stress value in the central region can reach 275 MPa, reflecting the significant tensile stress caused by the temperature change.

[0054] S1023. Calculate the displacement increment of the grid element nodes using the linear elastic constitutive equation, and generate transient deformation field data of the foil by combining the temperature field distribution.

[0055] The linear elastic constitutive equation is used to quantify the deformation of the foil under the combined effects of temperature and stress. Based on the initial values ​​of the stress-strain field, the displacement increment of each grid element node is calculated. For example, when the stress in the central region is 275 MPa and the temperature increases by 100 degrees Celsius, the node displacement increment is approximately 0.18 mm, mainly distributed radially. Combined with the temperature field distribution, the local deformation of the foil is solved, generating transient deformation field data that reflects the nonlinear deformation characteristics of the foil under high-temperature conditions.

[0056] S1024. The thermal conductivity distribution of the foil is fitted using the least squares method, and the nodal thermal displacement vector is calculated by combining the temperature stress coupling coefficient and the finite difference method.

[0057] The thermal conductivity of the foil dynamically adjusts with temperature, for example, it is 15 W / (m·K) at 350°C and decreases to 12 W / (m·K) at 650°C. The thermal conductivity distribution is fitted using the least squares method, and the temperature-stress coupling coefficient is calculated using stress field data. When the stress exceeds 200 MPa, the coupling coefficient is approximately 0.85. Based on the heat conduction equations, the thermal displacement vector of each grid element node is solved using the finite difference method. The maximum radial thermal expansion is approximately 0.45 mm, and the circumferential expansion is approximately 0.15 mm, reflecting the regional differences in non-uniform thermal expansion.
