TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of idler failure detection, in particular to a device and system for judging idler failure by combining acoustic array and thermal imaging. BACKGROUND
[0002] As an important part of the conveying system, the conveying equipment has the characteristics of long distance, multi-point driving and large capacity. Under the background of fuel transportation transformation, the working environment of the conveying equipment is harsh, the dust concentration in the closed space is high, and the noise is loud, which increases the possibility of machine failure. As the most numerous, most frequently replaced and most prone to failure parts in the conveying equipment, the idler seriously threatens the stable operation of the conveying system. Moreover, it accounts for 35% of the total cost of a belt conveyor and generates more than 70% of the resistance. Therefore, the stability of the idler is particularly important. Long-term operation can cause local temperature to be too high. The reasons for the high temperature of the bearing are as follows: the mechanism is assembled too tightly, the bearing is assembled too tightly; the bearing race rotates on the shaft or in the shell; the quality of the lubricating oil is not up to the requirements or deteriorates, the viscosity of the lubricating oil is too high; the load is too large; the cam bearing retainer or the bone body is broken, etc. Long-term operation of the idler may cause a major safety hazard. The idler often fails during long-term operation. When the idler is being repaired, sound and temperature are important parameters for representing the operating state of the idler. Sound and temperature parameters are also important parts of the maintenance of the conveying belt. If the serious wear of the idler is not discovered in time, it may cause the production line to stop and cause losses, or even cause personnel injury accidents.
[0003] Currently, the fault detection scheme for the conveying equipment has the problems of low efficiency of artificial detection, harm to workers' health, poor environmental adaptability of robot detection, single detection direction of the current detection scheme, inability to detect the fault of the conveying equipment from the combination of sound and temperature, and low accuracy of the fault judgment result.

[0011] According to the above technical scheme, the sound array part specifically comprises an audio acquisition module, a sound processing module and an interaction module.
[0012] The audio acquisition module specifically comprises a base, an acquisition end and a sound conversion unit. The acquisition end is fixed on the base.

[0015] According to the technical scheme, the comprehensive processing part specifically comprises a judgment module, an audible and visual alarm module and a display module;
[0016] The judgment module collects the processing signals of the sound array part and the processing signals of the thermal imaging part through Ethernet, completes display, storage, processing and analysis of the signals, and judges the final fault of the carrier roller through an algorithm;
[0017] The audible and visual alarm module is used for receiving the signals of the judgment module, so as to judge whether to perform an alarm response according to the signals;
[0018] The display module is used for displaying the conveying state of the conveyor and the result of fault judgment.
[0019] According to the technical scheme, the system specifically comprises the following implementation steps:
[0020] S1, sound preprocessing;
[0021] S2, sound signal processing;
[0022] S3, image preprocessing;
[0023] S4, image depth processing;
[0024] S5, temperature state division;
[0025] S6, sound source-temperature joint judgment.
[0026] In S1, the sound preprocessing mainly refers to performing A / D conversion on the collected original sound signals, and because the existence of environmental noise affects the analysis and judgment of the signals in the later stage, the original signals need to be preprocessed once, that is, the sound signals are subjected to noise reduction processing, and the sound sensor unit utilizes DSP to complete the noise reduction processing and then outputs the sound signals.
[0027] In S2, the sound signal processing mainly refers to calculation of the sound signal power of the carrier roller bearing, specifically, a beam forming method is used for sound array measurement, multi-channel spatial information of a microphone array is utilized, an MVDR algorithm is selected to form a narrowband filter in a frequency domain space, and a signal arranged in a direction of an axle end is enhanced, and specific derivation steps are as follows:
[0028] Let uniform linear array be used for M elements, when N signals s1(n), s2(n), …, s N (n) respectively from θ1, θ2, …, θ N incident to the array, by superposition thinking, the received signal can be described as:
[0029] x(n) M×1 = A M×N s N×1 ;
[0030]
[0031] Design a weight, weight coefficient is: w = [w0, w1, … w M-1 ] T ;
[0032] So that the output signal y(n) becomes the target signal;
[0033] The output y(n) can be written as: y(n) = w H x(n);
[0034] The output signal power is:
[0035] Separate the signal s1(n) alone, the rest is written as z(n), so the above formula becomes:
[0036] y(n) = w H x(n) = w H a(θ1) s1(n) + w H z(n);
[0037] The requirement is that the weight vector w makes the signal in the s1 direction pass completely, and z(n) is limited as much as possible, which needs to meet the following conditions:
[0038] w H a(θ1) = 1;
[0039] P = x(n)x(n) H = w H R w ;
[0040] Generalize θ1 to any angle θ, then the above problem is simplified to an optimization problem with weight vector w as the variable, that is
[0041] minw H R w , st.w H a(θ) = 1
[0042] Use the Lagrange method to construct the cost function J(w) as follows:
[0043] J(w) = w H R w -λ(1-w H a(θ))
[0044] The gradient of the cost function J(w) with respect to the weight vector w is solved and set to 0,
[0045]
[0046] The solution is: w = λR -1 a(θ);
[0047] Under the constraint w H a(θ) = 1, the solution is:
[0048] The above formula is solved together:
[0049] In practice, the w weight can be calculated according to the θ angle, and the sound of the roller is obtained under the constraint condition to reduce the influence of the remaining interference signals;
[0050] The judgment steps are as follows:
[0051] The target angle θ is known;

[0060]
[0061] According to the above technical scheme, in the S3, the image preprocessing refers to that the image acquisition module is used for further monitoring of the temperature of the carrier roller on the acquired thermal infrared image, and the preprocessing of the thermal infrared image by the image processing module includes the following steps:

[0063] S3.2, the image subjected to the noise reduction processing is subjected to sharpening processing;
[0064] In the S4, the image depth processing refers to that the image recognition module is used for edge detection, feature recognition division and recognition of abnormal temperature on the image, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0066] S4.2, the temperature of the carrier roller sampling point is recognized;
[0067] S4.3, the carrier roller final temperature is determined by joint analysis of the carrier roller temperature.
[0068] According to the above technical scheme, in the S5, the temperature state division mainly refers to that the carrier roller temperature is recognized as three states: severe over-temperature work, over-temperature work and normal temperature work by analyzing and judging the carrier roller temperature analysis standard;
[0069] According to the above three states, the specific judgment method is:
[0070] Suppose that there are N carrier roller monitoring points, and the collected temperatures are t1, t2, …, t n , considering that the temperature data of the carrier roller is basically symmetrically distributed or close to symmetrically distributed, the arithmetic mean is adopted, the arithmetic mean is the most commonly used measure value of the trend in the data set, the object is the numerical value type data, and the inevitability characteristics of the data are embodied, and the calculation formula is as follows:
[0071]
[0072] The proportional relative index is used to measure the relationship between the temperature of each sampling point and the average temperature:
[0073]
[0074] When a>30%, the working temperature is in a severe over-temperature working state;
[0075] When 30%>a>10%, the working temperature is in an over-temperature working state;
[0076] When a<10%, the working temperature is in a normal temperature working state.
[0077] According to the technical scheme, in the S6, the standard of the sound source-temperature joint judgment specifically includes the following cases:
[0078] When the processed sound array output signal power exceeds the set serious overload power working threshold, the judgment module of the comprehensive processing part directly outputs an alarm signal to the display module, starts a protection shutdown program, and triggers an audible and light alarm module;
[0079] When the processed thermal imaging image temperature signal exceeds the set serious over-temperature working threshold, the judgment module of the comprehensive processing part directly outputs an alarm signal to the display module, starts a protection shutdown program, and triggers an audible and light alarm module;
[0080] When the sound array output signal power exceeds the set overload power working threshold but does not reach the serious overload power threshold, the judgment module of the comprehensive processing part directly outputs an alarm signal to the display module, and a warning prompt is popped up on the comprehensive display interface;
[0081] When the thermal imaging image temperature signal exceeds the set over-temperature working temperature threshold but does not reach the serious over-temperature working temperature threshold, the judgment module of the comprehensive processing part directly outputs an alarm signal to the display module, and a warning prompt is popped up on the comprehensive display interface;
[0082] When the monitored sound output power is in an upward trend for three consecutive days, and the upward ratio exceeds 20%, the judgment module pops up a warning prompt on the comprehensive display interface of the display part;
[0083] When the monitored temperature is in an upward trend for three consecutive days, and the upward ratio exceeds 15%, the judgment module pops up a warning prompt on the comprehensive display interface;
[0084] When the abnormal point position found by the sound array part positioning and the abnormal temperature point position found by the thermal imaging coincide to 80% or above, the judgment module of the comprehensive processing part determines that the roller has a fault, a warning prompt is popped up on the display module, and an audible and light alarm module is triggered to alarm;
[0085] When the abnormal point position found by the sound array part positioning and the abnormal temperature point position found by the thermal imaging coincide to 70% to 80%, the judgment module of the comprehensive processing part determines that the roller has a fault, and a warning prompt is popped up on the display module.

[0087] When the computer instructions are run by the processor, the steps of the sound array and temperature joint diagnosis roller fault system are completed.
[0088] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the present invention has a scientific and reasonable structure and is safe and convenient to use.
[0089] This invention utilizes an acoustic array to collect and preprocess the sound signals of idler roller bearings. The filtered signals are then processed using the MVDR algorithm to extract the sound signal power of the idler roller bearings. A thermal imager acquires thermal images of the conveyor belt. After preprocessing, edge detection and feature recognition are used to determine whether a fault has occurred in the idler roller temperature. The comprehensive processing section employs a sound-temperature joint analysis algorithm to analyze the signals processed by the acoustic array and the thermal imager, thereby quickly determining whether a fault has occurred in the idler roller bearing. This invention achieves sound signal acquisition and processing for faults in the internal support bearings of idlers based on a combination of acoustic array and thermal imaging technologies. Analysis using the MVDR algorithm and the sound-temperature joint analysis algorithm can significantly improve the accuracy of fault detection.
[0090] Furthermore, compared to traditional methods that rely solely on acoustic arrays or temperature measurements, this method features high diagnostic accuracy and fast processing speed. It can effectively solve the problem of misdiagnosis caused by interference from other sound sources or abnormal temperature sources, thus providing stable and accurate diagnosis of conveyor roller bearing faults, avoiding false alarms, and preventing workers from working in environments that are harmful to their health.

[0110] Based on the above technical scheme, the comprehensive processing part specifically comprises a judgment module, an audible and visual alarm module and a display module.
[0111] The judgment module collects the processing signals of the sound array part and the processing signals of the thermal imaging part through Ethernet, completes the display, storage, processing and analysis of the signals, and judges the final fault of the carrier roller through an algorithm.
[0112] The audible and visual alarm module is used for receiving the signals of the judgment module, so as to judge whether to perform an alarm response according to the signals.
[0113] The display module is used for displaying the conveying state of the conveyor and the result of the fault judgment.
[0114] Based on the above technical scheme, the system specifically comprises the following implementation steps:
[0115] S1, sound preprocessing;

[0117] S3, image preprocessing;
[0118] S4, image depth processing;
[0119] S5, temperature state division;
[0120] S6, sound source-temperature joint judgment.
[0121] Based on the above technical scheme, in S1, the sound preprocessing mainly refers to completing A / D conversion on the collected original sound signal, and because the existence of environmental noise affects the analysis and judgment of the signal in the later stage, it is necessary to perform a preprocessing on the original signal, which is a noise reduction processing on the sound signal, and the sound sensor unit uses DSP to complete the noise reduction processing and output the sound signal.
[0122] In S2, the sound signal processing mainly refers to the calculation of the sound signal power of the carrier roller bearing. Specifically, it mainly refers to using beam forming method to measure the sound array, using the multi-channel spatial information of the microphone array, selecting MVDR algorithm to form a narrowband filter in the frequency domain space, and enhancing the signal arranged in the direction of the shaft end. The specific derivation steps are as follows:
[0123] Suppose a uniform linear array is used for M array elements, when N signals s1(n), s2(n), …, s N (n) respectively from θ1, θ2, …, θ N incident to the array, according to the superposition principle, the received signal can be described as:
[0124] x(n) M×1 =A M×N s N×1 ;
[0125]
[0126] A weight is designed, and the weight coefficient is: w = [w0, w1, … w M-1 ] T ;
[0127] So that the output signal y(n) becomes the target signal;
[0128] The output y(n) can be written as: y(n) = w H x(n);
[0129] The output signal power is:
[0130] Separate the signal s1(n) alone, and write the rest as z(n), so the above formula becomes:
[0131] y(n) = w H x(n) = w H a(θ1)s1(n) + w H z(n);
[0132] The requirement is that the weight vector w makes the signal in the s1 direction pass completely, and z(n) is limited as much as possible, which needs to meet the following conditions:
[0133] w H a(θ1) = 1;
[0134] P = x(n)x(n) H = w H R w ;
[0135] Generalize θ1 to arbitrary angle θ, then the above problem is simplified to an optimization problem with weight vector w as variable, that is
[0136]
[0137] Use Lagrange method to construct cost function J(w) as follows:
[0138] J(w) = w H R w - λ(1-w H a(θ))
[0139] Take the gradient of cost function J(w) with respect to weight vector w and set it to 0,
[0140]
[0141] Solve to get: w = λR -1 a(θ);
[0142] Under the constraint w H a(θ) = 1, solve to get:
[0143] Solve the above equations to get:
[0144] In practice, the weight w can be calculated according to the angle θ, and the sound of the roller is obtained under the constraint condition to reduce the influence of the remaining interference signals;

[0164] According to the above three states, the specific judgment method is:
[0165] Let the carrier roller monitoring points be N, and the collected temperatures be t1, t2, …, t n , considering that the temperature data of the carrier roller is basically symmetrically distributed or close to symmetrically distributed, the arithmetic mean is used, which is the most commonly used measure of data trend, and the object is numerical data, which reflects the certainty characteristics of the data, and its calculation formula is as follows:
[0166]
[0167] The proportional relative index is used to measure the relationship between the temperature of each sampling point and the average temperature:
[0168]
[0169] Example 2: When a > 30%, the working temperature is in a serious over-temperature working state;
[0170] Example 3: When 30% > a > 10%, the working temperature is in an over-temperature working state;
