[0047] To facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the relevant drawings. Several embodiments of the present invention are given in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0050] Embodiment 1

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows the transmission abnormal sound diagnosis system in the first embodiment of the present invention, including:

[0052] A human-computer interaction interface for inputting and outputting information for information interaction;

[0053] A knowledge acquisition module, connected to the human-computer interaction interface and the knowledge base, for inputting the information into the human-computer interaction interface and converting it into an internal form that can be stored by a computer and storing it in the knowledge base;

[0054] A knowledge base, connected to the knowledge acquisition module and the inference engine, the knowledge base includes a case database and a feature database, the case database includes abnormal sound case data, and the abnormal sound case data includes transmission bench abnormal sound cases and vehicle abnormal sound cases, the feature database includes abnormal sound feature data, and the abnormal sound feature data includes vibration data features, sound data features, and transmission TCU signal features;

[0055] An inference engine, which is respectively connected to a knowledge base, an interpreter, and a database, is used to diagnose abnormal noises according to existing parameters or user inputs by invoking facts and abnormal noise diagnosis rules in the knowledge base;

[0056] A database, which is respectively connected to the inference engine and the interpreter, is used to store working data, and the working data includes the abnormal noise inference process, message records, and historical data of abnormal noise diagnosis;

[0057] An interpreter is used to output the diagnosis result of the inference engine to the user in a predefined form through a man-machine interaction interface;

[0058] A network interface, which is connected to the network, is used to receive and update the change information and professional knowledge of transmission components, communicate remotely with experts, and upgrade algorithms.

[0059] This embodiment provides a transmission abnormal noise diagnosis system, which includes a network interface, a man-machine interaction interface, a knowledge acquisition module, a knowledge base, a database, an inference engine, and an interpreter. The system is connected to the network through the network interface to regularly update the change information of transmission components, professional knowledge, remotely communicate between users and experts, and upgrade the diagnosis algorithm.

[0060] Users input the professional knowledge (fault feature knowledge, cases) of the transmission into the system through the man-machine interaction interface, realizing information interaction between the system modules and completing the input and output work.

[0061] The knowledge acquisition module acquires the professional knowledge input into the man-machine interaction interface and converts it into an internal form that can be stored by a computer, and stores it in the knowledge base.

[0062] The knowledge base is respectively connected to the inference engine and the knowledge acquisition module, and includes case data and feature data, as shown in Figure 2 shown. The feature database is the feature data of the vibration and sound of various abnormal noises of the transmission. It is established according to the fault number analysis method and reasons for faults are deduced according to the reverse thinking logic. The fault tree takes the faults that the system does not want to appear as the top event, finds all intermediate events that can cause the top event to occur, and then finds all factors that cause the intermediate events to occur. In this way, it is traced back to the bottom events that cause the faults all the time, and the top event and the bottom events are connected by logical relationships to form the fault tree. The construction of the abnormal noise feature library is shown in Figure 3 shown. The abnormal noise of the transmission may be caused by hardware faults or software abnormalities, and the hardware faults may be caused by gear wear. The gears include multiple gear pairs such as gears from the 1st to the 5th gears, and each gear pair includes a driving gear and a driven gear. The wear faults of the driving gear and the driven gear are the bottom events. Similarly, other faults such as bearing wear, oil pump faults, clutch faults, and shaft end rubbing are established with complete connection relationships in the above manner. The case data is the abnormal noise case data. The case data is established in the form of a case database, and the establishment method is shown inFigure 4 As shown, each case includes audio data and the corresponding text description of the audio data. The sources of case data acquisition include:

[0063] Abnormal sound fault cases of the transmission accumulated in the early stage or abnormal sound fault cases obtained by artificially introducing different faults on the test prototype; cases completed and saved by the system through diagnosis; cases on the Internet, which are saved in the case library after screening. As the case data expands continuously, the diagnostic accuracy also improves continuously.

[0064] The database is connected to the interpreter and the inference engine respectively, and is used to store data including the abnormal sound inference process, message records, and abnormal sound diagnosis history.

[0065] The inference engine integrates algorithms such as data analysis and machine learning. When the user inputs the text description and the abnormal sound audio file, the inference engine calls the cases and abnormal sound diagnosis rules in the cases to diagnose the abnormal sound. When the user imports the vibration, sound, and TCU signals for testing, the inference engine calls the data in the feature library and the abnormal sound diagnosis rules to diagnose the abnormal sound.

[0066] The interpreter outputs the cause of the abnormal sound to the user in the form of text, pictures, etc. through the man-machine interaction interface according to the diagnostic result of the inference engine.

[0067] Specifically, the feature database is established according to the fault tree analysis method, and the cause of the fault is deduced according to the reverse thinking logic. The fault tree takes the fault that the system does not want to occur as the top event, finds out all intermediate events that can lead to the occurrence of the top event, and then finds out all factors that cause the occurrence of the intermediate events. In this way, it is traced back to the bottom event that causes the fault, and the top event and the bottom event are connected by logical relationships to form the fault tree. The case data is established in the form of a case database (abbreviation: case library). The sources of case data acquisition include: abnormal sound fault cases of the transmission accumulated in the early stage or abnormal sound fault cases obtained by artificially introducing different faults on the test prototype; cases completed and saved by the system through diagnosis; cases on the Internet, which are saved in the case database after screening. As the case database expands continuously, the diagnostic accuracy also improves continuously.

[0068] The data stored in the feature database in the knowledge base are vibration data features, sound data features, and transmission TCU signal features. The data stored in the case database are transmission bench abnormal sound cases and vehicle abnormal sound cases, including audio data and the corresponding text description of the audio data.

[0069] In summary, the abnormal noise diagnosis system of the transmission in the above embodiments of the present invention can quickly diagnose abnormal noise problems through the established abnormal noise diagnosis system of the transmission, whether it is difficult-to-diagnose abnormal noise or general abnormal noise problems. While improving the diagnosis efficiency, it also ensures the diagnosis accuracy, avoiding the technical problems in the prior art that the diagnosis of abnormal noise in the transmission generally depends on the experience of after-sales maintenance personnel, resulting in low accuracy, and the solution for difficult-to-diagnose abnormal noise requires professional engineers to go to the site for testing and analysis, resulting in low efficiency. Specifically, by establishing a knowledge base and a database, the abnormal noise data can be diagnosed through the case database and the feature database in the knowledge base. Specifically, the user can diagnose by inputting the recorded abnormal noise audio, reducing the workload of data testing. For abnormal noise problems that cannot be diagnosed only through audio, vibration, sound, and TCU signals are collected for diagnostic analysis to obtain the cause of the abnormal noise. Through the abnormal noise diagnosis method and system in the present application, abnormal noise problems that were previously difficult to diagnose can be quickly identified, reducing the professional threshold for abnormal noise diagnosis, which is of great significance for the rapid diagnosis of after-sales abnormal noise.

[0070] Embodiment 2

[0071] Please refer to Figure 5 , which shows the abnormal noise diagnosis method in the second embodiment of the present invention. The method includes steps S201 to S207:

[0072] S201. Obtain abnormal noise data, where the abnormal noise data includes abnormal noise audio and abnormal noise text description.

[0073] The abnormal noise data of each case includes abnormal noise audio information and corresponding abnormal noise text information. The user first describes the observed abnormal noise phenomenon in detail in text or records the audio when the abnormal noise occurs using a mobile phone or the like, without collecting vibration, noise, and TCU signals, reducing the workload. The text description or abnormal noise audio data is input into the system according to the prompts of the human-computer interaction interface.

[0074] S202. Analyze whether there is historical case data matching the abnormal noise data in the historical case database according to the historical case data in the historical case database.

[0075] Specifically, the analysis methods include timbre analysis and frequency analysis.

[0076] If not, execute step S203;

[0077] If so, execute step S207;

[0078] S203. Calculate the abnormal noise feature value by calculating the features of the abnormal noise audio.

[0079] Specifically, the feature calculation method includes fast Fourier transform and envelope spectrum analysis.

[0080] S204. Determine whether there is abnormal sound feature data matching the abnormal sound feature value in the feature database according to the abnormal sound feature data in the feature database.

[0081] If not, execute step S205;

[0082] If so, execute step S207;

[0083] S205. Obtain test data, where the test data includes vibration, sound, and TCU signals, and analyze the data characteristics of vibration, sound, and TCU signals.

[0084] S206. Determine whether there is abnormal sound feature data matching the analyzed data characteristics in the feature database according to the abnormal sound feature data in the feature database.

[0085] Specifically, obtain the analysis result, compare the analysis result with the abnormal sound feature data in the feature database; determine whether there is abnormal sound feature data matching the analysis result according to the abnormal sound feature data.

[0086] If so, execute step S207;

[0087] S207. Output the cause of the abnormal sound.

[0088] Specifically, obtain the abnormal sound case data according to the feature data matching the analyzed data characteristics, and the abnormal sound case data matches the feature data matching the analyzed data characteristics; determine and output the cause of the abnormal sound according to the abnormal sound case data. Further, output the cause of the abnormal sound in the form of text and pictures.

[0089] As a specific example, if there is no abnormal sound feature data matching the analyzed data characteristics, it means that the knowledge base in the transmission abnormal sound diagnosis system does not include the abnormal sound feature data matching the analyzed data characteristics at this time, and the analyzed data characteristics belong to new abnormal sound data. At this time, manually analyze the cause of the abnormal sound according to the analyzed data characteristics; establish new abnormal sound case data according to the analyzed cause of the abnormal sound; incorporate the established new abnormal sound case data into the knowledge base to update the knowledge base. With the continuous expansion of the case database and the continuous update and iteration of the algorithm, the accuracy of abnormal sound diagnosis is also continuously improved.

[0090] The knowledge base of the present invention simultaneously establishes a case database and a feature database, and diagnosis can be performed through the case database and the feature database. First, users can perform diagnosis by inputting the recorded abnormal sound audio, which reduces the workload of data testing. For abnormal sounds that cannot be diagnosed through the case database, vibration and noise data collection are required. As the case database is continuously expanded and the algorithm is continuously updated and iterated, the diagnostic accuracy of abnormal sounds will continuously improve. Through the transmission abnormal sound diagnosis system, abnormal sound problems that were previously difficult to diagnose can be quickly identified, the professional threshold for abnormal sound diagnosis is reduced, which is of great significance for the quick diagnosis of after-sales abnormal sounds.

[0091] In summary, for the transmission abnormal sound diagnosis method in the above embodiments of the present invention, by establishing a transmission abnormal sound diagnosis system, whether it is for abnormal sounds that are difficult to diagnose or general abnormal sound problems, the system can quickly diagnose the abnormal sound problems, improving the diagnostic efficiency while ensuring the diagnostic accuracy, and avoiding the technical problems in the prior art that the diagnosis of transmission abnormal sounds generally relies on the experience of after-sales maintenance personnel, resulting in low accuracy, and for abnormal sounds that are difficult to diagnose, a solution that requires professional engineers to go to the site for testing and analysis to diagnose the abnormal sounds, resulting in low efficiency; specifically, by establishing a knowledge base and a database, the abnormal sound data can be diagnosed through the case database and the feature database in the knowledge base. Specifically, users can perform diagnosis by inputting the recorded abnormal sound audio, which reduces the workload of data testing; for abnormal sound problems that cannot be diagnosed only through the audio, the vibration, sound, and TCU signals are collected for diagnostic analysis to obtain the cause of the abnormal sound.
