AI Technical Summary
Traditional short-time Fourier transform methods are difficult to effectively extract bearing fault features in cases with low signal-to-noise ratios or containing Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise, especially since the characteristic frequency of the outer ring fault is coupled with the system's natural vibration frequency, resulting in poor diagnostic performance.
By employing a method based on correlation entropy and short-time Fourier transform, the kernel matrix and correlation entropy of the vibration signal are calculated, and combined with short-time Fourier transform, noise interference is suppressed and bearing fault characteristics are highlighted.
It effectively suppresses Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise, adaptively reduces noise, and can clearly identify the characteristic frequencies of bearing faults and their higher harmonics, thus improving the accuracy of fault diagnosis.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of modern signal processing technology, and in particular to a bearing fault diagnosis method based on correlation entropy and short-time Fourier transform. Background Technology
[0002] Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) is a commonly used time-frequency signal processing method, widely applied in fault diagnosis of components such as bearings and gears in rotating machinery. However, when the signal-to-noise ratio is low or contains non-Gaussian noise, the performance of traditional STFT signal processing methods degrades or even fails. In actual industrial scenarios, vibration signals collected from electromechanical equipment often contain a large amount of Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise, making it difficult for traditional STFT methods to achieve satisfactory diagnostic results. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fault diagnosis method that can effectively suppress Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise in the signal, has adaptive noise reduction performance, and can highlight the characteristics of bearing faults. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the above technical problems, this invention provides a bearing fault diagnosis method based on correlation entropy and short-time Fourier transform. The diagnosis method of this invention is as follows:
[0004] Step 1: Acquire vibration signal x(i) with a sampling length of N. Signal x(i) is an N×1 column vector. Calculate the kernel matrix M of the signal. x M x (i,j)=κ[x(i),x(j)], where κ(·) is the kernel function. e (·) It is a natural exponential function, where σ is the kernel length, i,j=1,2,3,…,N,M x It is an N×N square matrix.
[0005] Step 2, calculate the correlation entropy V of signal x(i). x (n), V x (n) is an N×1 column vector.
[0006] Step 3, calculate the relevant entropy V x The short-time Fourier transform S of (n) x (t,f), S x (t,f)=STFT[V x [(n)], STFT(·) is the short-time Fourier transform operator, t is time, and f is frequency.
[0007] Step 4, draw the short-time Fourier transform S x The (t,f) graph shows that bearing fault characteristics can be identified from the spectral peaks.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0009] The bearing fault diagnosis method proposed in this invention, based on correlation entropy and short-time Fourier transform, comprehensively utilizes the advantages of both. Traditional short-time Fourier transform is susceptible to interference noise, and the characteristic frequency of the bearing outer ring fault is coupled with the system's natural vibration frequency, making it difficult to effectively extract bearing outer ring fault feature information under noise interference. Compared with traditional short-time Fourier transform methods, this invention effectively suppresses Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise in the signal, exhibits adaptive noise reduction performance, and highlights bearing fault characteristics.

Calculate the kernel matrix M of the signal. x M x (i,j)=κ[x(i),x(j)], where κ(·) is the kernel function. e (·) It is a natural exponential function, where σ is the kernel length, i,j=1,2,3,…,N,M x It is an N×N square matrix.
[0023] Step S2, calculate the correlation entropy V of signal x(i). x (n), V x (n) is an N×1 column vector.
[0024] Step S3, calculate the relevant entropy V x The short-time Fourier transform S of (n) x (t,f), S x (t,f)=STFT[V x [(n)], STFT(·) is the short-time Fourier transform operator, t is time, and f is frequency.
[0025] Step S4, draw the short-time Fourier transform S x The (t,f) graph shows that bearing fault characteristics can be identified from the spectral peaks.

[0027] This embodiment verifies the method of Embodiment 1. The vibration signal x(i) from a bearing outer ring fault is used in this embodiment. The bearing model is a deep groove ball bearing 6205, the shaft speed is 1730 r / min, and the sampling frequency is f. s =12000Hz, number of sampling points N=4096, bearing geometry is: major diameter D=52.0mm; ball diameter d=7.94mm; number of balls z=9; pressure angle α=0°, the bearing outer ring fault characteristic frequency f is calculated. outer =103.36Hz, bearing outer ring fault characteristic period T outer =1 / f outer =0.00967s.
[0028] The time-domain graph of the bearing outer ring fault vibration signal x(i) in Example 2 is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the Fast Fourier Transform of x(i) is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, according to step 2 of Example 1, the correlation entropy V of signal x(i) is calculated. x (n),
[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, in Figure 4 The data shows regular transient impacts, with the interval between adjacent transient impact peaks being the bearing outer ring fault characteristic period T. outer According to step 3 of Example 1, the relevant entropy V is calculated. x The short-time Fourier transform S of (n) x (t,f), Figure 5 For S x Planar profile of (t,f) Figure 6 For S x A three-dimensional plot of (t,f), Figure 7 for Figure 4 S x The power spectrum after integration along the time axis (t,f) is obtained from... Figure 5 It can be clearly seen that in the low-frequency range of the time-frequency plane (t,f), there are equally spaced spectral peaks, and the interval between adjacent spectral peaks is the bearing outer ring fault characteristic frequency f. outer ,from Figure 7 The characteristic frequency f of the bearing outer ring fault can be clearly seen. outer Its higher harmonics clearly depict the frequency information of bearing outer ring fault characteristics.
[0030] Comparative Example 1
[0031] To compare the bearing fault diagnosis results based on correlation entropy and short-time Fourier transform with those based on traditional short-time Fourier transform, this comparative example uses the traditional short-time Fourier transform method to analyze the bearing fault diagnosis results in Example 2. Figure 2 The vibration signal x(i) of the bearing outer ring fault was analyzed. Figure 8 This is a planar profile diagram based on the traditional short-time Fourier transform. Figure 9 This is a three-dimensional image based on the traditional short-time Fourier transform. Figure 10 for Figure 8 The power spectrum obtained by integrating the time-frequency plot along the time axis, from Figure 8 and Figure 9 It can be seen that, due to the susceptibility of traditional short-time Fourier transform to interference noise, and the coupling between the bearing outer ring fault characteristic frequency and the system's natural vibration frequency, therefore, in Figure 8 No regularly distributed spectral peaks were observed in the low-frequency range. Figure 10 The characteristic frequency f of bearing outer ring failure was not observed in the middle. outerBecause of its high-order harmonics, the traditional short-time Fourier transform method is difficult to effectively extract the fault characteristic information of the bearing outer ring under noise interference.
