Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of gear transmission, in particular to a working condition following gear wear monitoring and prediction method based on vibration signals. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing requirements of power density and reliability of transmission systems in the fields of new energy vehicles, wind power, aerospace, etc., affected by load mutation, speed fluctuation, temperature change, etc., the wear monitoring of gears under service conditions faces severe challenges. The method of visual detection of gear wear condition after opening the box has high maintenance cost and long maintenance period, and the engineering field urgently needs a method that can efficiently and accurately monitor the wear of gears.

[0003] Traditional monitoring methods based on vibration signals (such as Fourier spectrum analysis) perform well in fixed working conditions, but in variable working conditions, due to the non-stationarity and nonlinearity of the signal, the meshing frequency and load of the gear show strong time-varying characteristics, which leads to the failure of traditional monitoring methods, specifically manifested as feature extraction failure, insufficient model generalization ability, and not considering the coupling effect of multiple physical fields, etc.

[0004] ISO 10816 standard uses vibration signal effective value (RMS) and peak factor as wear evaluation index, and decomposes the vibration signal into different frequency components by Fourier transform, wavelet transform, etc. The main features (such as meshing frequency sideband, energy entropy, etc.) are extracted for diagnosis. This method only relies on fixed diagnostic threshold, does not consider the nonlinear modulation of gear surface micro-wear on vibration signal, and cannot handle nonlinear vibration signal features under variable working conditions, resulting in deviation of vibration signal related feature extraction.

[0005] Gear damage identification models based on neural network (such as CNN, LSTM) self-learning can realize classification of different wear degrees through time and frequency domain features to train the classifier. However, this model relies on a large amount of labeled data, and the time synchronization and space-time alignment algorithm of multi-source data under variable working conditions has high complexity and poor real-time performance. The data distribution difference and threshold deviation lead to poor generalization ability. At the same time, this model does not establish the dynamic mapping relationship between wear and multiple physical fields, resulting in inaccurate diagnosis results.

[0006] Chinese invention patent application, publication number CN109871652A, invention name "a gear pair wear amount prediction method based on dynamic meshing force", discloses using gear rotor system dynamics model to calculate the dynamic meshing force and dynamic load distribution coefficient of gear pair, thereby predicting the wear amount of gear pair. However, this method does not consider the different wear states of different positions of the gear caused by different complex influencing factors under different working conditions, and it is difficult to realize accurate gear wear prediction.

[0007] Chinese invention patent application, publication number CN117634241A, invention name "a gear pair dynamic wear amount prediction method considering tooth surface micro-geometric morphology", discloses that the tooth surface wear amount and the wear amount are calculated by establishing a contact analysis model considering the tooth surface micro-geometric morphology, and a gear pair dynamic load calculation model based on the finite element method. However, this method still does not consider the different wear states of different positions of the gear caused by complex influencing factors under different working conditions, and the prediction result is not accurate enough.

[0045] In order to enable a more clear understanding of the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application, the present application will be further described below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0046] In the following description, a lot of specific details are set forth in order to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore, the protection scope of the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0047] A vibration signal based working condition following gear wear monitoring and prediction method provided according to an embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] As shown in Figures 1 to 6 A vibration signal based working condition following gear wear monitoring and prediction method provided according to an embodiment of the present application includes the following steps.

[0049] S1: dynamic working condition division based on multi-source sensor fusion, establishment of a working condition Map graph, and real-time working condition Map graph updating, the working condition Map graph including a plurality of working condition area grids divided, and the center point of each area grid serving as a working condition point representing the area. As shown in Figure 2 S1 specifically includes the following steps.

[0050] S11: Key operating parameters such as rotational speed, torque and oil temperature are taken as clustering core variables, and the clustering results will classify similar operating states into the same working condition area (such as low speed light load, low speed heavy load, high speed light load, high speed heavy load, etc.), and the oil temperature characteristics are taken as clustering auxiliary variables, and the clustering results will classify similar operating states into the same operating state (such as low temperature, normal temperature, high temperature, etc.), and a working condition Map diagram including multiple typical working condition area grids is constructed. The above similar operating states can be determined by the wear rate, which can be calculated by subsequent steps. With the dynamic changes such as aging of the running equipment and changes in the environment, the traditional fixed threshold cannot be updated in real time, which is easy to cause working condition misjudgment (such as when the gear is in the same operating speed and torque, the gear wear rate will also change when the ambient temperature changes), and the working condition Map diagram constructed by the above joint clustering method can overcome the lag of the traditional fixed threshold division, better determine the working condition boundary, and ensure the rationality of the working condition Map diagram division.

[0051] As shown in Figure 7 , as an example, the working condition Map diagram can be set as follows. The horizontal coordinate of the working condition Map diagram is the rotational speed, and the vertical coordinate is the torque. Each 2000 revolutions per minute (rpm) is divided into an interval, and there are 10 intervals from 0 to 20000. Each 50 N / m is divided into an interval, and there are 10 intervals from 0 to 500. The intervals obtained by division are combined, and different colors (represented by the darkness of the color) Figure 7 represent different oil temperatures, and 16 area grids A~L are obtained, and the wear rates in each area grid are similar. The center point of the area grid is taken as the working condition point representing the area to calculate.

[0052] S12: Install sensors to collect signals of the gear in real time, which can include installing rotational speed sensors, torque sensors and temperature sensors to collect parameters of the rotational speed, input torque and oil temperature of the gear in real time. By installing multiple sensors, the traditional single parameter working condition division method can be broken through, and the problem of insufficient model generalization ability under variable working conditions can be solved. The real-time collected parameters of the rotational speed, input torque and oil temperature of the gear can be used for the update of the working condition Map diagram.

[0053] S13: The collected signals are obtained by the installed sensors, and the improved DBSCAN algorithm is adopted to realize dynamic identification of the area grid boundary of the working condition through density feasibility analysis, realize automatic identification of real-time working condition data and update of the working condition Map diagram. Referring to Figure 8 , the specific process of this step is as follows.

[0054] Specifically, based on the area grid of the working condition Map diagram, the dynamically adjusted adaptive neighborhood radius is represented as:

[0055] wherein, is a radius of a region grid unit, is an oil temperature sensitivity coefficient, is a deviation of current oil temperature from historical average oil temperature, is a time. Wherein, the region grid unit is a region grid of the working condition Map graph divided by S11; the current oil temperature is the oil temperature of the gear collected by the temperature sensor in real time.

[0056] By using the improved DBSCAN algorithm, through Adjust the minimum point number according to the wear grade to realize dynamic optimization of the minimum point number of the neighborhood:

[0057] wherein, is a basic point number, is a wear sensitivity coefficient, is a corresponding wear grade.

[0058] When the boundary points of the region grid of a certain working condition are continuously broken through by the new data points for a set number of times threshold (for example, N times), the boundary translation of the region grid of the working condition is triggered and reconstruction is carried out. The judgment method of whether the boundary points of the region grid are broken through by the new data points is that if the new data points exceed the boundary points of the region grid, it is judged that the boundary points of the region grid are broken through by the new data points. After the boundary reconstruction of the region grid of the working condition Map graph, the optimization parameter can also be fed back to the real-time data acquisition step through the density feasibility analysis.

[0059] In addition, for complex working conditions, a working condition stay time threshold can be set, and if the working condition stay time is shorter than the working condition stay time threshold, it is considered as abnormal working condition switching, and the working condition (working condition point) is excluded and not calculated, so as to solve the problem of repeated switching of the working condition Map graph under complex working conditions. According to the needs, the above working condition stay time threshold can be set to, for example but not limited to, 5s, 10s, 12s, etc.

[0060] Based on the above dynamically adjusted adaptive neighborhood radius and minimum point number, and the dynamic optimization of the working condition point, the working condition dynamic reconstruction is realized, and then the update of the working condition Map graph is realized.

[0061] Thus, the real-time updated working condition Map graph is obtained and used as the input of the Archard wear correction model based on the thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) theory and the gear nonlinear vibration model considering the influence of wear and gap.

[0062] S2: Establish an Archard wear correction model based on the thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) theory, and use the working condition Map graph as the input to calculate the wear amount of the gear. For example, Figure 3As shown, S2 specifically includes the following steps.

[0063] S21: Based on the operating points determined in the operating condition map, solve the thermo-elastohydrodynamic (TEHL) model to obtain the oil film thickness, oil film pressure and oil film temperature parameters in the contact area.

[0064] S22: Based on the oil film thickness parameter, establish the friction coefficient versus film thickness ratio. The nonlinear mapping enables real-time correction of the friction state, resulting in a real-time corrected film thickness ratio. (Film thickness ratio) It can be obtained from the oil film thickness and the coefficient of friction.

[0065] S23: By combining the parameters of oil film pressure and oil film temperature, a real-time mapping between lubricating oil viscosity and oil film pressure and oil film temperature is established to realize the real-time correction of lubricating oil parameters and obtain the real-time corrected lubricating oil parameters.

[0066] S24: The obtained film thickness ratio As a parameter for judging lubrication status, an Archard wear correction model is established based on the judgment result to obtain the wear amount of the gear.

[0067] Specifically, when the film thickness ratio When the lubrication conditions are good, the wear of the gear is calculated according to the classic Archard wear model:

[0068] in, This represents the wear volume of the gear. The wear coefficient of the gear. For the normal load on the gear, This is the relative sliding distance. The material hardness of the gear. The wear coefficient of the gear. The wear coefficient of the gear can be obtained based on the friction coefficient and the lubricating oil parameters obtained from S23, which are related to the friction coefficient and the lubricating oil parameters.

[0069] When film thickness ratio When the condition is defined as boundary lubrication, the lubrication effect is poor. The wear of the gear is calculated by multiplying the classic Archard wear model by a correction factor.

[0070] The correction factor can be obtained from the following formula:

[0071] in, , The wear factor function, which is related to operating conditions, can be calibrated experimentally. The current working condition state is represented.

[0072] The above obtains an Archard wear correction model based on thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) theory.

[0073] S3: A nonlinear vibration model of the gear considering the influence of wear and gap is established, and the working condition map and the wear amount of the gear are used as inputs to obtain the vibration signal of the gear system under different wear states. As shown in FIG. 8, S3 specifically includes the following steps. Figure 4

[0074] S31: A time-varying meshing stiffness model considering different wear depths along the tooth surface direction of the gear is established, and the working condition map and the wear amount of the gear are used as inputs to obtain the time-varying meshing stiffness of the gear.

[0075] The wear amount at each position along the tooth root to the tooth top of the gear is different, and the time-varying meshing stiffness of the gear under different wear degrees at each position of the gear is obtained by calculating the bending stiffness, Hertz contact stiffness, compression stiffness, shear stiffness, and matrix deformation stiffness under the corresponding wear amount at each position of the gear. The time-varying meshing stiffness model established in the above manner solves the problem that the traditional model assumes uniform wear, resulting in inaccurate results.

[0076] S32: A mapping relationship between the wear amount of the gear and the static transmission error is established to obtain the static transmission error. Gear wear will cause changes in the gear meshing gap and changes in the static transmission error. Along the tooth root to the tooth top, a mapping between different wear depths and the static transmission error is established to obtain the static transmission error variation function. The calculation process of the static transmission error (USTE) is as follows.

[0077] Establish the long-period error:

[0078] In the formula, is the driving gear rotation frequency, is the tangential comprehensive total deviation, is the time. The tangential comprehensive total deviation is the sum of the tangential deviations of all gears in the gear system.

[0079] Establish the short-period error:

[0080] In the formula, is the meshing frequency, is the tangential comprehensive deviation of a single gear.

[0081] Establish the random error: ​

[0082] wherein, is a random number uniformly distributed between [0, 1].

[0083] The transmission error caused by gear wear is established as and the driven gear wear amount Projecting in the direction of the meshing line:

[0084] wherein, denotes the pressure angle of the gear.

[0085] Based on the long-period error , the short-period error , the random error and the transmission error caused by gear wear , the static transmission error (USTE) is obtained as .

[0086] The static transmission error variation function is thus established, and based on the static transmission error variation function, the static transmission error variation can be obtained.

[0087] S33: A gear nonlinear dynamics model considering translation-torsion is established, taking the time-varying meshing stiffness of the gear obtained in S31 as input, and introducing the static transmission error obtained from the static transmission error variation function, the differential equations of the gear nonlinear dynamics model are solved by the Runge-Kutta method to obtain the vibration signal of the gear system under different wear states.

[0088] The Runge-Kutta method for solving the differential equations of the gear nonlinear dynamics model is as follows:

[0089] wherein, is the mass matrix, is the damping matrix, is the stiffness matrix, is the generalized coordinate, is the gap function, is the generalized force vector matrix.

[0090] wherein, the above stiffness matrix items are obtained based on the time-varying meshing stiffness of the gear in S31, and the above generalized coordinate items are obtained based on the static transmission error and the meshing line direction displacement in S32, and the second derivative of the meshing line direction displacement (generalized coordinate) is obtained, i.e. the vibration acceleration.

[0091] S4: a CNN (Convolutional Neural Network)-LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) hybrid wear diagnosis model is established to obtain the wear state probability distribution of the gear system, and the CNN-LSTM hybrid wear diagnosis model is trained based on the vibration signal obtained in S3 to obtain a trained CNN-LSTM hybrid wear diagnosis model. As shown in FIG. 8, S4 specifically includes the following steps. Figure 5

[0092] S41: a CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) is established, and a convolutional layer stack is performed, including a first layer convolution, a middle layer convolution, and a deep layer convolution, to obtain and output a 128-dimensional feature vector compressed by global average pooling, wherein the key information in the time-frequency domain is retained. The specific process of establishing the CNN by the convolutional layer stack is as follows.

[0093] The first layer convolution uses a 3x3 convolution kernel (step 1, padding 1) to extract the weak impact vibration signal in the early stage of wear, sets the number of convolution kernels to 64, and uses ReLU as the activation function. The first layer convolution can extract the vibration signal of the gear system obtained in S3.

[0094] The middle layer convolution uses a 5x5 convolution kernel (step 2, padding 2) to capture more macroscopic structural features, such as changes in harmonic distribution caused by wear intensification, and the number of convolution kernels is increased to 128, combined with Batch Normalization (Batch Normalization) to accelerate convergence. The input of the middle layer convolution is the output of the first layer convolution.

[0095] The deep layer convolution uses a 7x7 convolution kernel (step 2, padding 3) to extract global features, and the number of convolution kernels is 256. The dimension is reduced by maximum pooling (pooling kernel 2x2), and the convolution layer outputs a 128-dimensional feature vector compressed by global average pooling, which retains the key information in the time-frequency domain and avoids the overfitting risk brought by the fully connected layer. The input of the deep layer convolution is the output of the middle layer convolution.

[0096] S42: The 128-dimensional feature vector compressed by global average pooling extracted by the CNN is unfolded in time sequence to form an input tensor with a shape of [time step, feature dimension] with a length of T.

[0097] S43: a bidirectional LSTM architecture is established, each layer containing 128 memory cells, and the input tensor obtained in S42 is used as input to obtain past and future input tensor time sequence information as LSTM output. Through the LSTM architecture, the wear evolution trend of the gear under different working conditions can be captured, the past and future input tensor time sequence information can be obtained, and the dropout layer (dropout rate = 0.2) is used to prevent overfitting.

[0098] ​S44: Map the LSTM output to 6 wear grades (e.g., including 0-5 grades) through a fully connected layer, the activation function adopts Softmax, and output the wear state probability distribution of the gear. The wear state probability distribution reflects the current wear condition of the gear. Among them, the 6 wear grades are as follows: 0 grade represents that the gear is in normal and non-wear state; 1-2 grades correspond to initial wear, which is manifested as slight scratches or slight material loss on the tooth surface; 3-4 grades are medium wear, and the tooth profile shape changes significantly; and 5 grade represents severe wear, which may cause tooth surface spalling, tooth breakage and other major failure risks. Through the above explicit grade division, the operation and maintenance personnel can quickly judge the wear degree of the gear. Among them, the wear state probability distribution of the gear system can be obtained based on the wear state probability distribution of a single gear.

[0099] Thus, the CNN-LSTM hybrid wear diagnosis model is obtained, which is used to obtain the wear state probability distribution of the gear system based on the vibration signal of the gear system.

[0100] S45: Adopting cross-entropy loss function, using Adam optimizer, formulating training strategy, classifying the vibration signal of the gear system obtained from the gear nonlinear dynamics model established in S3, and inputting the vibration signal as training data into the established CNN-LSTM hybrid wear diagnosis model for training, to obtain the trained CNN-LSTM hybrid wear diagnosis model.

[0101] S5: Input the vibration signal of the gear system obtained by real-time acquisition and processing into the trained CNN-LSTM hybrid wear diagnosis model, to obtain the current wear state probability distribution of the gear and the wear development trend prediction data of the gear in a future time period, which are used to provide to the gear system maintenance planning process as the basis for the operation and maintenance personnel to formulate maintenance strategy. The vibration signal of the gear system is obtained by executing the above S1 to S3. As shown in Figure 6 S5 specifically includes the following steps.

[0102] S51: Acquire information through the installed sensor and obtain the vibration signal of the gear system, and adopt ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) for noise reduction processing to obtain the noise-reduced vibration signal. The noise reduction processing includes adaptively decomposing the vibration signal into multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMF), eliminating noise-dominant IMF components, and suppressing the interference of background noise on gear meshing features and wear impact features.

[0103] S52: The improved local mean decomposition (LMD) combined with S transform (LMD-S) is used to convert the denoised vibration signal into a time-frequency image. Furthermore, the converted time-frequency image is taken as the input of the trained CNN-LSTM hybrid wear diagnosis model to obtain the wear state probability distribution of the gear. In addition, the LSTM is combined to capture the long-term dependence of the time sequence characteristics, and the wear development trend prediction data of the gear in the future time period is output. Moreover, the future wear amount change curve of the predicted gear is drawn, which reflects the wear amount change of the gear in the future, for example but not limited to, one running cycle (100,000 revolutions as one running cycle). Thus, the maintenance strategy can be planned in advance to avoid sudden failure. The LMD decomposes the multi-component signal adaptively, and the S transform maintains the phase consistency in the time-frequency domain.

[0106] As can be seen from the figure, Figures 9 to 14 It can be seen that the vibration peak reflects the change of the wear degree, and the time domain vibration signal peak gradually increases with the increase of the wear level from health to 5-level wear, which intuitively verifies the positive correlation between wear and vibration response, and reflects the time domain feature capturing ability of the model for different wear states.

[0107] As can be seen from the figure, Figure 15 It can be seen that the model can realize the time sequence fitting of the wear prediction curve, and the prediction curve of the wear amount with the running cycle shows the quantitative prediction ability of the model for the wear development trend, which provides a visual reference for the future wear growth of the gear and supports the early formulation of the maintenance strategy.

[0108] As can be seen from the figure, Figure 16 The visualization of the wear state time cloud map is realized, the wear level distribution of different running cycles is intuitively presented through the color gradient, and the evolution process of the wear from the initial stage to the severe stage is clearly shown, which facilitates the quick identification of the current wear stage and the future trend and improves the intuitiveness of the operation and maintenance decision.
