Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rolling bearing fault diagnosis, and particularly to a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method with angle-time cyclic stationarity without a tachometer. Background Art

[0002] As an important supporting component of rotating machinery, rolling bearings often bear large loads and impacts, and are vulnerable components in rotating machinery. Once a fault occurs, it will cause the equipment to stop running at least, affecting operation and production, and at worst, it will cause catastrophic accidents such as equipment damage and casualties. Therefore, carrying out rolling bearing fault monitoring and diagnosis is an effective way to reduce operation and maintenance losses and ensure the safe operation of equipment, and has important engineering significance. The angle-time cyclic stationarity analysis method can analyze the information in both the time domain and the angle domain of vibration signals, and diagnose the faults of rolling bearings under variable speed conditions. However, in some high-temperature, high-pressure or enclosed environments, the rotational speed information of the bearing cannot be obtained, which affects the feature identification of the angle domain information of the vibration signal, and it is difficult to extract the early weak fault features of rolling bearings only from the time domain information. Therefore, it is advisable to adopt the proposed angle-time cyclic stationarity analysis method that combines bearing vibration signal to reconstruct rotational speed to solve the problem of cyclic stationarity feature identification without rotational speed.

[0003] The above information disclosed in the background art section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present invention, and therefore may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method with angle-time cyclic stationarity without a tachometer, which solves the problem that the existing cyclic stationarity analysis method of bearings cannot be used without rotational speed, reconstructs the rotational speed and performs cyclic stationarity feature identification under variable speed conditions.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0010] Step 4: Perform angle-time cyclic stationary analysis on the vibration signal according to the accurate rotational speed to obtain a cyclic spectral density diagram;

[0011] Step 5: Observe whether there is a significant increase in the cyclic spectral density function at a certain abscissa in the cyclic spectral density diagram. This abscissa is the bearing fault characteristic order. At the same time, find the ordinate of the highest point of the cyclic spectral density function at the bearing fault characteristic order of the abscissa as the oscillation frequency of the fault impact waveform to complete the fault diagnosis;

[0012] In a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method with angle-time cyclic stationarity without a tachometer, the rolling bearing is a motor bearing.

[0013] In a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method with angle-time cyclic stationarity without a tachometer, the vibration acceleration sensor is arranged in the vertical direction of the motor bearing end cover.

[0014] In a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method with angle-time cyclic stationarity without a tachometer, the sampling frequency of the vibration acceleration sensor is 10.24 KHz.

[0015] In a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method with angle-time cyclic stationarity without a tachometer, the short-time Fourier transform peak search method for estimating the preliminary rotational speed of the motor includes the following steps

[0016] Step 2-1: Perform short-time Fourier transform on the vibration signal to obtain a frequency spectrum diagram:

[0017]

[0018] where \(x(t)\) is the vibration signal, \(t\) is time, \(\gamma(\tau)\) is the analysis window function, \(\tau\) is the position of the analysis window function, \(f\) is the frequency, and \(X(t, f)\) is the spectral density;

[0019] Step 2-2: Locate the frequency component related to the rotational speed by observing the frequency spectrum diagram, and then apply the maximum tracking algorithm of the frequency component to calculate the preliminary instantaneous frequency:

[0020] f max (t)=\(\argmax|X(t, f)|\) 2 , / \(\in\Delta f\) t ,

[0021] \(\Delta f\) t \(\in\{f\) max (t - d\tau)-\(\delta f\), f max (t - d\tau)+\(\delta f\}\),

[0022] where \(\delta f\) is the given maximum detected frequency tolerance, \(\Delta f\) t is the frequency component related to the rotational speed observed in advance, \(f\) maxis the instantaneous frequency;

[0023] Step 2-3: Calculate the instantaneous phase based on the preliminary instantaneous frequency.

[0024] ω(t) = 2πf max (t),

[0025]

[0026] Step 2-4: Based on the instantaneous phase calculated in Step 2-3, perform angular resampling on the vibration signal and filter the resampled signal using a band-pass filter to retain only the components related to rotation.

[0027] Step 2-5: Use the instantaneous phase to resample the vibration signal back into the time domain.

[0028] Step 2-6: Perform a short-time Fourier transform on the vibration signal after filtering and resampling to obtain a spectrogram, calculate the instantaneous frequency through the maximum amplitude tracking algorithm, and then calculate the preliminary motor speed through ω = 2πf max Calculate the preliminary motor speed.

[0029] In a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on angle-time cyclostationarity without a tachometer, using a Vold-Kalman filter and the preliminary speed to calculate the accurate motor speed includes the following steps.

[0030] Step 3-1: Construct the Vold-Kalman filter order analysis structural equation; x(n) - 2cos(ωΔt)x(n + 1) + x(n + 2) = ε(n). Let the coefficient term of x(n + 1) be c(n) = 2cos(ωΔt), and the matrix expansion of the structural equation is:

[0031] Its matrix form is Ax = ε,

[0032] where ε(n) is the non-consistent term of the structural equation, x(n) is the order fraction component to be tracked, and n is the number of sampling points.

[0033] Step 3-2: Design the Vold-Kalman filter order analysis data equation;

[0034] y(n) = x(n) + η(n),

[0035] where η(n) is the background noise and y(n) is the value of the nth sampling point of the vibration signal.

[0036] Step 3-3: Establish the sum of squares of the heterogeneous term and the error term through the least squares method as the loss function: J = r 2 ε T ε + η Tη. Additionally, the error term is the square ε of the inconsistent term ε of the structural equation T ε. The isomer term is the square η of the background noise η T η, where r is the weighting factor

[0037] Step 3-4: Solve for the minimum value of the loss function J. Since ε = Ax and η(n) = y(n) - x(n), then J = r 2 x T A T Ax+(y - x) T (y - x). Let to obtain the equation: x = (r 2 A T A + I) -1 y, where I is the identity matrix

[0038] Step 3-5: Solve the equation to obtain the rotational speed harmonic components

[0039] Step 3-6: After using the Vold-Kalman filtering method, accurate rotational speed harmonic components are obtained. Perform a short-time Fourier transform on the rotational speed harmonic components to obtain a spectrogram, calculate the instantaneous frequency through the maximum amplitude tracking algorithm, and then calculate the accurate rotational speed through ω = 2πf max , and calculate the accurate rotational speed

[0040] In a method for diagnosing rolling bearing faults with angle-time cyclostationarity without a tachometer, the vibration signal is subjected to angle-time cyclostationarity analysis to obtain a cyclic spectral density map, and the steps are as follows

[0041] Step 4-1: Use the method of periodic time averaging to estimate the angle-time autocorrelation function of the vibration signal

[0042]

[0043] where θ is the angle variable, τ is the delay is the cyclic order, and E{*} is the ensemble average operator

[0044] Step 4-2: Discretize the angle-time autocorrelation function to obtain R 2x (n, m), where n and m respectively correspond to the discrete samples of the angle θ and the delay τ: θ = nΔ; τ = mΔ, and Δ is the sampling period

[0045] Step 4-3: Find the discrete Fourier series coefficients of the angle-time autocorrelation function R 2x [n, m] with respect to the discrete angle nΔ

[0046]

[0047] where R x[m; α i are the discrete Fourier series coefficients, where α i is a certain cyclic order; L is the signal length corresponding to the discrete angle nΔ,

[0048] Step 4-4, then perform discrete-time Fourier transform on the discrete delay mΔ to obtain the cyclic spectral density function:

[0070] Step 3: Calculate the accurate speed of the motor using a Vold-Kalman filter and the initial speed;

[0071] Step 4: Perform angle-time cyclic stationarity analysis on the vibration signal according to the accurate speed to obtain a cyclic spectrum density map;

[0072] Step 5, observe in the cyclic spectral density graph whether there is a significantly high cyclic spectral density function at a certain abscissa, which is the bearing fault characteristic order. At the same time, find the ordinate of the highest point of the cyclic spectral density function at the bearing fault characteristic order of the abscissa as the oscillation frequency of the fault impact waveform to complete the fault diagnosis.

In this case, there is a fault in the bearing inner ring, the bearing model is 6203, and the frequency of this fault is 4.9475 times the bearing rotation speed frequency. Therefore, in the cyclic spectral density diagram, the abscissa represents the cyclic order, indicating the multiple of the rotation speed. Because of the fault with a frequency of 4.9475 times the rotation speed, the value of the cyclic spectral density function at the position where the abscissa is 4.9475 is significantly higher, and there is a bright line. The oscillation frequency of the fault impact waveform is obtained from the ordinate. The ordinate of the point with the highest value of the cyclic spectral density function at the fault order is the oscillation frequency, which can be obtained through Matlab.
