[0002] The circuit breaker sound print diagnosis technology realizes fault detection by analyzing the acoustic signal characteristics in the opening and closing process, but the existing method has the following technical bottlenecks: 1. Azimuth sensitivity defect: The sound print signal amplitude and frequency domain characteristics are easily affected by the relative position change of the sound source-sensor. The mechanical vibration or installation deviation of the circuit breaker moving contact causes the sound source position to be not fixed, and the traditional fixed gain acquisition system cannot adaptively compensate for the distance attenuation and directivity difference, resulting in inconsistent sound print characteristics of similar faults.
[0003] 2. Environmental interference is not corrected: Temperature fluctuations in the switch cabinet cause sound velocity changes (typical fluctuation range ±10 m / s), resulting in sound source positioning errors based on fixed sound velocity, further reducing the azimuth calibration accuracy.
[0004] 3. Array design limitations: Linear microphone array has azimuth blind area, when the sound source deviates from the array axis, the signal signal-to-noise ratio deteriorates sharply, and it is difficult to capture the effective acoustic characteristics of the main direction of contact movement.
[0005] 4. Insufficient feature stability: The sound print signal without azimuth correction is directly input into the diagnosis model, and the amplitude deviation and noise interference caused by the distance and direction difference cause the model misjudgment rate to rise. SUMMARY
