Description

[0002] Gear box is a very important transmission and speed change device in mechanical equipment, which is widely used in wind power generation, aerospace, rail transportation and other fields. The fault rate of gear box is very high during transmission, and weak fault will seriously affect the stability and reliability of the whole gear transmission system. After the gear box fails, the downtime is long, the maintenance is difficult and the cost is high, which seriously affects the safety of life and property. Therefore, it is of great significance to diagnose the fault of gear box, to early detect weak fault and timely repair to ensure the safe operation of the whole machine.

[0003] The working state of gear box can be divided into constant speed and variable speed. In actual engineering application, due to the influence of load or speed-up and down, gear box is mostly operated under variable speed condition. Since the speed and load are time-varying, the vibration signal has non-stationary characteristics such as amplitude modulation, frequency modulation and phase modulation, which leads to "spectrum blur" phenomenon, making it difficult for traditional signal processing methods to diagnose the fault. The keyphasor order tracking based on equal-angle resampling has become one of the most effective variable speed gear box fault diagnosis methods.

[0004] For variable speed gear box fault diagnosis based on keyphasor order tracking, accurate estimation of instantaneous angular velocity is the key factor to determine whether it can accurately diagnose the fault of gear box.
