[0052] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0053] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0054] As described in the background section, current health monitoring can monitor the stress and damage to the bogie, but it cannot predict the remaining life of the bogie.

[0055] In view of this, this application provides a bogie health monitoring method, please refer to... Figure 1 ,include:

[0056] Step S101: Obtain the stress on the surface of a preset part of the main body of the composite bogie when deformation occurs; the preset part includes the key part of the main body and the area where the main body and components are connected by fasteners.

[0057] The process of determining the key parts of the composite bogie body can be as follows: simulate the stress of each part of the composite bogie body using a stress simulation model to obtain the stress of each part; select the first certain percentage (e.g., the first 20%, or the first 30%) of the stress according to the stress magnitude, and then set the parts corresponding to these stresses as key parts; or, screen out the stresses that exceed the preset stress threshold, and then set the parts corresponding to these stresses as key parts.

[0058] A schematic diagram of the composite material bogie structure is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the assembly includes a carbon fiber reinforced composite body 11 and various mounting bases connected to the body. The mounting bases include components 12 made of various materials, including fiber reinforced composite materials and metals such as low-alloy structural steel, stainless steel, and titanium alloys. The body and various mounting bases are assembled using a modular molding and connection process. The connection methods between the components and the body include bonding and fastener connection, among which fastener connection includes bolt connection, riveting connection, and a combination of riveting and bolt connection.

[0059] This application collects stress in the area where component 12 and body 11 are connected by fasteners. The fasteners include, but are not limited to, bolts and rivets.

[0060] When both riveting and bolting are used to connect the metal component 12 and the fiber-reinforced composite material body 11, the component 12 and the body 11 in the riveting connection area are connected by means of... Figure 3 The structure is bonded with adhesive as shown.

[0061] It should be noted that this application does not limit the frequency of obtaining the stress on the surface of the preset part of the main body. For example, the stress on the surface of the preset part of the main body can be obtained in real time, or the stress on the surface of the preset part of the main body can be obtained according to a certain preset cycle.

[0062] Step S102: Determine the degree of damage to the main body.

[0063] Step S103: Predict the remaining life of the composite bogie based on the stress and the degree of damage.

[0064] Optionally, as one possible implementation, predicting the remaining life of the composite bogie based on the stress and the degree of damage includes:

[0065] Step S1031: Obtain the time when the damage occurred.

[0066] Types of damage include, but are not limited to, cracks and delamination.

[0067] Step S1032: Determine the difference between the damage degree and the maximum allowable damage degree.

[0068] The damage degree difference is equal to the maximum allowable damage degree minus the current damage degree. For example, when the damage is a crack, if the current damage degree is a crack length of m, and the maximum allowable damage degree is a crack length of n, where n > m, then the damage degree difference is nm.

[0069] Step S1033: Determine the undetermined ratio of the remaining lifespan to the time based on the ratio of the difference in the degree of damage to the degree of damage.

[0070] The undetermined ratio of remaining lifespan to time of damage is equal to the ratio of the difference in damage severity to the degree of damage.

[0071] Step S1034: Based on the ratio of the expected stress to be borne by the preset part to the stress, revise the undetermined ratio to obtain the final ratio of the remaining lifespan to the time.

[0072] According to the damage consistency theory, the remaining life of a composite bogie is related to the magnitude of the stress subsequently borne. Therefore, it needs to be determined based on the ratio of the expected stress borne at a predetermined location to the stress already borne. Thus, this application uses the ratio of the expected stress borne at a predetermined location to the stress to revise the determined ratio, obtaining a more accurate final ratio of remaining life to time.

[0073] Step S1035: Determine the remaining lifetime based on the final ratio and the time.

[0074] Remaining lifespan equals the time since the damage occurred multiplied by the final ratio.

[0075] The health monitoring method in this application obtains the stress on the surface of a preset part on the main body of the composite bogie and determines the degree of damage to the main body of the bogie. Based on the degree of damage to the main body and the obtained stress, the remaining life of the composite bogie is predicted.

[0076] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment of this application, the bogie health monitoring method can also provide early warning of damage to composite material bogies. There are two ways to provide early warning, which will be described below.

[0077] As one possible implementation method, please refer to Figure 4 Early warning methods include:

[0078] Step S201: Determine the ratio of the stress to the preset stress threshold.

[0079] It should be noted that this application does not limit the preset stress threshold, which can be set by the user.

[0080] Step S202: Determine whether the ratio is greater than a preset ratio threshold.

[0081] Step S203: If the ratio is greater than the preset ratio threshold, an alarm command is sent to the alarm device so that the alarm device can issue an alarm message.

[0082] It is understandable that when the ratio of stress to the preset stress threshold is less than or equal to the preset ratio threshold, no alarm command needs to be sent, that is, no warning is issued.

[0083] As another possible implementation method, please refer to Figure 5 Early warning methods include:

[0084] Step S301: Determine whether the stress is greater than a preset stress threshold.

[0085] It should be noted that this application does not limit the preset stress threshold, which can be set by the user.

[0086] Step S302: If the stress is greater than the preset stress threshold, an alarm command is sent to the alarm device so that the alarm device can issue an alarm message.

[0087] Understandably, when the stress is less than or equal to the preset stress threshold, no alarm command needs to be sent, i.e., no warning is issued.

[0088] This application acquires the stress on the surface of a predetermined location on the main body of the composite bogie, and then provides early warnings about the health status of the composite bogie based on the stress magnitude, thereby achieving health monitoring of the composite bogie. Furthermore, this application can also acquire the stress in the connection area between the main body and components, enabling monitoring of the fasteners in this connection area, i.e., monitoring the fastener connection status, solving the problem of difficulty in monitoring the connection status, and thus achieving monitoring of loosening faults in the connection structure of the composite bogie.

[0089] Based on any of the above embodiments, in one embodiment of this application, the bogie health monitoring method further includes:

[0090] When the driver emits stress waves toward the main body, it acquires electrical signals corresponding to the stress waves transmitted to the surface and interior of the key parts.

[0091] The electrical signal is compared with a reference signal; the reference signal is the electrical signal when the main body is undamaged.

[0092] Based on the comparison result between the electrical signal and the reference signal, it is determined whether the main body has been damaged.

[0093] When the drive unit emits stress waves into the composite bogie body, the stress waves propagate within the composite bogie body. The electrical signal is obtained by sensing the stress waves propagating within the composite bogie body through a piezoelectric sensor and converting the sensed stress waves.

[0094] The process of obtaining the reference signal includes: transmitting stress waves to the undamaged composite bogie body through a driver, then using a piezoelectric sensor to sense the stress waves propagating in the undamaged body, and converting the sensed stress waves into an electrical signal, thus obtaining the reference signal.

[0095] When the obtained electrical signal is the same as or has a similarity to the reference signal that reaches a preset threshold, it can be considered that the subject has not been damaged; otherwise, it is considered that the subject has been damaged.

[0096] The electrical signals in this application include not only the electrical signals on the surface of key parts of the composite bogie body, but also the electrical signals inside the key parts, which overcomes the problem that the internal condition of the bogie is not easy to observe and improves the accuracy of damage monitoring of composite bogies.

[0097] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, determining the degree of damage to the subject includes:

[0098] Determine the amplitude difference between the electrical signal and the reference signal;

[0099] The degree of damage is determined based on the amplitude difference, the preset amplitude, and the correspondence between the degree of damage.

[0100] Amplitude difference refers to the difference in amplitude between the electrical signal corresponding to the stress wave transmitted on the surface and inside of the critical part and the reference signal in the difference region.

[0101] The method for determining the correspondence between the preset amplitude and the degree of damage can be as follows: stress waves are emitted in advance to composite bogie bodies with different degrees of damage and without damage, and electrical signals corresponding to the stress waves propagating in each composite bogie body are obtained. Then, the amplitude difference between the electrical signals of the bodies with different degrees of damage and the electrical signals of the bodies without damage is determined. Thus, the correspondence between the amplitude and the degree of damage is determined based on each amplitude difference and the corresponding degree of damage.

[0102] The health monitoring method in this application will be described below using a specific example.

[0103] Step 1: Real-time acquisition of stress on the surface of a predetermined part of the main body of the composite bogie when deformation occurs; the predetermined part includes key parts of the main body and areas where the main body and components are connected by fasteners;

[0104] Step 2: Determine the ratio of the stress obtained in Step 1 to the preset stress threshold;

[0105] Step 3: Determine whether the ratio is greater than the preset ratio threshold;

[0106] Step 4: If the ratio is greater than the preset ratio threshold, an alarm command is sent to the alarm device so that the alarm device can issue an alarm message.

[0107] Step 5: If the ratio is less than or equal to the preset ratio threshold, no warning will be issued;

[0108] Step 6: Use the driver to emit stress waves to the main body and obtain the electrical signals corresponding to the stress waves transmitted on the surface and inside the key parts of the main body;

[0109] Step 7: Compare the obtained electrical signal with the reference signal;

[0110] Step 8: If the similarity between the electrical signal and the reference signal reaches a preset threshold, it is determined that the subject has not been damaged.

[0111] Step 9: If the similarity between the electrical signal and the reference signal does not reach the preset threshold, then it is determined that the main body is damaged.

[0112] Step 10: Determine the amplitude difference between the electrical signal and the reference signal;

[0113] Step 11: Determine the degree of damage to the main body based on the amplitude difference, the preset amplitude and the correspondence between the degree of damage;

[0114] Step 12: Determine the difference between the degree of damage and the maximum allowable degree of damage;

[0115] Step 13: Obtain the time when the main body was damaged;

[0116] Step 14: Determine the undetermined ratio of remaining lifespan to the time of damage based on the ratio of the difference in damage severity to the damage severity.

[0117] Step 15: Based on the ratio of the expected stress to the preset location, revise the pending ratio to obtain the final ratio of remaining life to time.

[0118] Step 16: Determine the remaining lifespan based on the final ratio and the time when the damage occurred.

The second determining unit is used to determine the undetermined ratio of the remaining lifespan to the time based on the ratio of the damage degree difference to the damage degree. The revision unit is used to revise the undetermined ratio based on the ratio of the expected stress to be borne by the preset part to the stress, so as to obtain the final ratio of the remaining life to the time. The third determining unit is used to determine the remaining lifetime based on the final ratio and the time. The second acquisition module is used to acquire electrical signals corresponding to the stress waves transmitted on the surface and inside the key parts when the driver emits stress waves to the body. The comparison module is used to compare the electrical signal with a reference signal; the reference signal is the electrical signal when the main body is undamaged. The third judgment module is used to determine whether the main body has been damaged based on the comparison result between the electrical signal and the reference signal. The first determination module includes: The third determining unit is used to determine the amplitude difference between the electrical signal and the reference signal; The fourth determining unit is used to determine the degree of damage based on the amplitude difference, the preset amplitude and the correspondence between the degree of damage.
