Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fault early warning, in particular to a ventilation machine fault early warning system based on data analysis. BACKGROUND

[0002] Coal resources are one of the most important basic energy sources and an important factor in ensuring national energy security. With the increase in the number of coal mining by coal enterprises, high-speed cutting coal to increase production brings a large number of coal dust particles floating in the air in the mine roadway, requiring ventilation equipment to timely disperse toxic and harmful gases and coal dust in the mine to ensure the flow of fresh air in the mine.

[0003] Since the ventilation operation needs to be synchronized with the coal mining operation, it is necessary to ensure the long-term stable operation of the ventilation machine, which has a high requirement on the health status of each key equipment in the ventilation machine. After long-time operation of the mine ventilation machine, various types of faults are likely to occur, which seriously threatens the life safety of miners due to the inability to discharge toxic gases in the mine. Therefore, it is necessary for professional technicians to timely find hidden abnormalities in the ventilation machine equipment during routine maintenance.

[0004] However, the mine ventilation machine is always in a dynamic ventilation process, and the occurrence position and time of various faults during operation are uncertain, which increases the difficulty of fault detection.

[0005] The common ventilation machine state fault monitoring system generally completes the sensing of the operating state parameters of the ventilation machine system by setting vibration, pressure, temperature, current and other sensors, but ignores the detection of sound signals generated by each part of the equipment during the operation of the ventilation machine. Once the equipment shows signs of failure, the vibration and temperature signals may not change significantly in a short period of time, while the sound signal is the first to show abnormal fluctuations. Without detection and analysis of the audio signal, it is impossible to realize the comprehensive analysis of the non-contact detection and contact detection data of the ventilation machine, resulting in inaccurate ventilation machine fault analysis results.

[0006] Moreover, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the current mine ventilation machine fault diagnosis technology, mainly in that the fault diagnosis scheme needs to be optimized. The traditional ventilation machine fault diagnosis monitors the operating parameters of different components through various types of sensors and judges whether the ventilation machine has failed by comparing with the threshold value. This way not only has low fault diagnosis accuracy, but also consumes a lot of manpower and lacks intelligence.

[0007] In order to solve the above defects, the present application provides a technical solution. SUMMARY

[0031] Further, the specific operation steps of the time-frequency analysis method in the abnormal diagnosis module during the diagnosis process by the audio signal are as follows:

[0032] The time-frequency analysis method is used to process the audio signal to obtain the rule of frequency size changing with time and the time of abnormal frequency appearing, and the short-time Fourier transform method is selected as the time-frequency analysis method;

[0037] Further, the specific operation steps of the warning module sending the warning information group to the collection terminal of the manager are as follows:

[0053] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a ventilator fault early warning system based on data analysis includes a multi-source data sensing module, a data interface module, an anomaly diagnosis module, and an alert module.

[0054] The multi-source data sensing module is used to collect and sense the audio signals of the ventilator operation and the surrounding environmental data;

[0055] The system for sensing the audio signals of the ventilator operation consists of multiple directional aluminum ribbon microphones. The microphones are pointed at the ventilator impeller, the non-drive side bearing, and the key parts of the drive side motor for safe operation, respectively, to collect the audio signals during the operation of the ventilator in real time. The microphones are arranged in a ring around the ventilator, and all microphones are located on a straight line parallel to the ventilator bearing. Each microphone is equidistant from the others, and each microphone is pointed at the key operating parts of the ventilator, thus achieving all-round perception of the ventilator's audio signals.

[0056] The sensing of the peripheral environment data is composed of temperature sensors and smoke sensors, which sense the temperature and smoke parameters around the ventilator;

[0057] The data receiving module is used for the preliminary processing and preprocessing of the real-time ventilator operation audio signals and peripheral environment data uploaded by the multi-source data sensing module;

[0058] The audio signals are digitally sampled according to the required signal sampling rate, and the collected digital audio signals are preliminarily processed by using an intelligent filtering and noise reduction model to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the audio signals;

[0059] The PCM1808 audio processing chip is specifically used to complete the accurate sampling of the audio signals, and the process is to convert the continuous analog signals into discrete digital signals through three steps of signal sampling, quantization and coding:

[0060] Signal sampling: a number of representative sample values are taken out from a continuously changing analog signal in time to represent the continuously changing analog signal, and a function of an analog audio signal which is continuous in time and amplitude is denoted as x(t), and the sampling process is to discretize the function x(t) in time;

[0061] Quantization is to approximately represent the originally continuously changing amplitude value in time with a limited number of amplitudes, so as to change the continuous amplitude of the analog signal into discrete values with a certain time interval;

[0062] Coding is to represent the discrete values after quantization with binary codes according to a certain rule. In order to ensure the high fidelity of the audio signals on site, the PCM coding format is usually used;

[0063] The intelligent filtering and noise reduction model is used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the audio signals, the accuracy of feature extraction of the signals and the operation processing speed, and to realize adaptive, self-learning, efficient and stable filtering process for background noise in different environments;

[0064] The pre-processing method for the audio signals after noise reduction filtering is composed of audio signal pre-emphasis and frame division and windowing; the audio signal pre-emphasis can highlight the high-frequency signals and reduce the interference of the low-frequency signals on the high-frequency signals, and the formula of the pre-emphasis digital filter before digital conversion is:

[0065] H(z) = 1 - αz -1

[0066] The value is between 0 and 1 and closer to 1 is better, and the value is 0.98, and the amplitude-frequency characteristic is:

[0067]

[0068] When the signal is high frequency, the amplitude |H(w)| tends to 1+α, and low frequency tends to 1-α, and the high frequency part can be highlighted after pre-emphasis processing;

[0069] The pre-emphasized signal is framed and windowed, and after the audio signal is framed, the frequency domain information is missing. In order to reduce the influence of spectrum loss, windowing is also used. Windowing is to multiply the original sound signal by a window function, and then analyze and study the windowed signal. When the sound recognition uses the Hamming window (Hamming Window) time domain function, its function form can be expressed as:

[0070]

[0071] Where k=1, 2, …, N, and the frequency domain characteristic expression of the Hamming window is:

[0072]

[0073] The receiving of the environment data around the ventilator adopts a wired and wireless heterogeneous communication network for receiving;

[0074] The abnormal diagnosis module divides the obtained audio signal and the real-time running parameter of the ventilator, calculates the running characteristics of the ventilator, and compares the abnormal signals for diagnosis;

[0075] The process of diagnosing through the audio signal includes the following steps:

[0076] S1: The audio signal after noise reduction filtering and framing and windowing is divided into several frames, and each frame is a linear continuous change signal;

[0077] S2: Then the kurtosis in the characteristic parameter of the time domain analysis method is used as the real-time monitoring index of the audio signal, different kurtosis thresholds are set, the audio data stream is calculated in real time, the kurtosis value of the audio data stream is calculated, and compared with different kurtosis thresholds, the real-time monitoring of the early abnormality of the ventilator is realized;

[0078] S3: When the kurtosis abnormal value appears, it is judged whether the abnormality occurs and the type of the abnormality, the audio signal in a period of time before and after the kurtosis value abnormal moment is saved, the frequency distribution in the period of time and the time point of the abnormal frequency are obtained by further processing the audio signal in the period of time using the frequency domain processing and time-frequency processing method of the audio signal;

[0079] The time domain analysis method in step S2 is the most accurate, fast and direct method in signal processing, which analyzes the abnormal conditions of the electromechanical equipment by calculating the time domain statistical characteristics of the audio signal, judges the running state of the electromechanical equipment, and can also divide the health status grade of the ventilator according to the historical monitoring data and maintenance records. Common time domain indicators include skewness, kurtosis, variance, maximum value, minimum value, peak value, square root amplitude, mean amplitude, root mean square amplitude, absolute mean value, waveform index, amplitude index, pulse index, margin index and kurtosis index. According to the characteristics of the audio signal and the meaning represented by different time domain parameters, the kurtosis parameter in the time domain processing method is selected as the time domain parameter processing; the kurtosis reflects the distribution characteristics of the signal, and the kurtosis coefficient Ku increases with the increase of the proportion of amplitude abnormal pulse in the signal. As a mathematical statistics variable, the kurtosis value has a certain regular distribution. When the ventilator is in normal operation, the overall change of the audio signal is relatively uniform, and there is no abnormal impact signal. The probability density distribution of different amplitude signals can be approximated as a normal distribution, and the kurtosis coefficient Ku of the normal distribution oscillates around the value 3, and there is no large abnormal value. When the motor or the rolling bearing has surface scratches or damage, the audio signal generated during operation will have a large impact, that is, the amplitude abnormal sound signal. The probability density of the amplitude abnormal pulse in the signal increases with the aggravation of the fault, and the probability density distribution of different amplitude signals gradually deviates from the normal distribution. The more serious the fault, the larger the kurtosis coefficient of the audio signal. When it exceeds the threshold value, it needs to be alarmed for maintenance, which can be used as an important basis for early fault diagnosis of the ventilator. The expression of kurtosis calculation is: In the formula, x(t) is a signal with zero mean, and p(x) is the probability density distribution function of x(t); the kurtosis index value is independent of the speed, size and load of the ventilator driving motor or rolling bearing, and is mainly used for early abnormal form detection of rolling bearings and driving motors;

[0080] Specifically, the audio signal after noise reduction filtering and frame windowing is divided into several frames, and then the kurtosis value of each frame signal is calculated. The audio acquisition frequency is set to 16000, and the audio data stream in 1s is divided into 30 frames according to the frame principle. The number of kurtosis values calculated in one second is 30, which meets the demand of real-time monitoring of the ventilator. The kurtosis calculation process of the audio signal can be referred to as shown in Figure 2

[0081] ​The frequency domain processing method in S3 is to obtain the frequency characteristic information of the signal by analyzing the amplitude-frequency characteristic and the phase-frequency characteristic of the audio signal; the frequency domain analysis completes the Fourier transform of the audio signal, analyzes the frequency characteristic of the signal, and adopts the fast FFT algorithm. The Fourier transform is a commonly used means for analyzing the frequency domain characteristics of a signal. In the field of digital signal processing, the fast Fourier transform (FFT) is improved on the basis of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), reduces the time complexity of the operation, and greatly speeds up the development of digital signal processing. The specific process of adopting the fast Fourier transform (FFT) as the frequency domain processing method of the audio signal is as follows:

[0082] B1: Calculate the kurtosis value of each frame of audio signal, and compare it with the pre-set kurtosis threshold;

[0083] B2: If the kurtosis is greater than the pre-set kurtosis threshold, record the time point of the kurtosis value abnormal moment, and save the audio signal in a period of time before and after the time point to the specified path of the local;

[0084] B3: Read the audio signal, and analyze the audio signal by using the FFT method to obtain the frequency distribution of the audio signal in the period of time;

[0085] B4: Observe the frequency distribution characteristics of the audio signal, and compare it with the audio signal when the ventilator is normally running. If the frequency distribution ranges obtained at two times are the same, the ventilator does not have obvious abnormalities. On the contrary, if there is a significant difference in frequency, the ventilator has an abnormality, and the abnormal part of the ventilator is judged according to the size of the frequency energy.

[0086] The time-frequency processing method in step S3 is to process the audio signal by using the time-frequency analysis method to obtain the law of frequency size changing with time and the time of abnormal frequency occurrence, and to select the short-time Fourier transform method as the time-frequency analysis method. In the short-time Fourier transform, the concept of local spectrum is introduced, a window function with very short time length is used to intercept a segment of the original non-stationary signal, the Fourier transform of the stationary signal is performed, and then the window function is slid along the time axis to obtain the image of the frequency of the entire non-stationary signal changing with time. For a continuous signal s(t), the definition of its continuous short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is:

[0087]

[0088] Its inverse transform is:

[0089]

[0090] In the formula, g(t) is a window function with very short time length; * represents complex conjugate. When g(t) = 1, the short-time Fourier transform is converted into the traditional Fourier transform.

[0091] From the obtained time-frequency diagram, not only can the frequency components contained in the audio signal and the energy size of each frequency be clearly seen, the brighter the color band in the diagram, the greater the energy of the band, the greater the proportion of the band in the overall energy, and at the same time, the frequency variation law corresponding to different time can be obtained, which is convenient for finding the time of abnormal frequency of the ventilator, and has important significance for abnormal diagnosis of the ventilator;

[0092] The feature extraction for abnormal diagnosis of the ventilator uses the common method in signal processing, and combines the advantages and disadvantages of different methods. The features of the collected audio signal are extracted, so that more detailed and accurate audio feature information is obtained;

[0093] The abnormal diagnosis module is also used to apply the CNN network in deep learning to the abnormal diagnosis of the ventilator, and construct a fault diagnosis model. The fault diagnosis process of the model is shown in Figure 3 ;

[0094] The fault diagnosis implementation process of the fault diagnosis model is as follows:

[0095] First, the audio signal acquisition program is transplanted in the microprocessor in the pickup, which is used to collect the audio signals of different components of the ventilator in real time. Then the collected audio data stream is processed in real time. This part of the algorithm program is deployed after the audio acquisition program, which is mainly the audio signal time-frequency diagram based on short-time Fourier transform. Since the time-frequency diagram under different working conditions of the ventilator has certain differences, it can be judged whether the ventilator has failed according to the time-frequency diagram. Then the neural network is used to train the time-frequency diagram under different working conditions offline, and then the trained network model is used to automatically judge whether the ventilator has an abnormality and the type of the abnormality. The key to realizing this part is the feature extraction of the audio signal and the selection and parameter setting of the neural network;

[0096] The type of neural network used and its parameter setting, the commonly used convolutional neural network (CNN) is selected, which is used to automatically identify different types of time-frequency diagrams, forming a short-time Fourier transform and CNN combined ventilator abnormal automatic diagnosis model. The working process of the model is as follows:

[0097] First, the kurtosis is used for multi-source signal processing. The audio signal in the adjacent time of the kurtosis value at the abnormal time is further analyzed by using FFT and short-time Fourier transform. Since the result obtained by FFT transform is not conducive to differentiation, the time-frequency diagram obtained by short-time Fourier transform is selected as the input of the CNN model. Through convolution, pooling and full connection process, deeper feature information is obtained. Finally, the classification function is used to classify the output result to obtain the abnormal category of the ventilator;

[0098] The accuracy of the fault diagnosis model is related to the size of the input data and the parameter design of the CNN network. For the parameter design of the CNN network:

[0099] Input layer: The size of the input data affects the operation time and fault diagnosis accuracy of the model. The frequency distribution in the short-time Fourier spectrum of the audio signal of the ventilator under different working conditions is mainly concentrated in the low frequency region. The input data is segmented and compressed to obtain a 32x32 pixel image.

[0100] Convolutional layer: The convolutional layer is the core part of the CNN network. This layer obtains the local receptive field of the input data by a set of convolution kernels with the same size. In feature extraction, a convolution kernel can only extract part of the data features. Therefore, multiple convolution kernels are needed to extract all the features of the input data. The dimensions of the convolution kernel correspond to the dimensions of the input data. Since the Hilbert spectrum is two-dimensional data, a two-dimensional convolution kernel is used to extract features by convolution calculation. For the selection of the convolution kernel, the noise of the original audio signal has been reduced before feature extraction, so the noise effect of convolution calculation can be ignored. Therefore, the size of the first convolution kernel is selected as 5x5. Since the pooling layer can cause some feature information to be lost, the second convolution layer uses more convolution kernels with a size of 3x3.

[0101] Pooling layer: The pooling layer is used to collect part of the features of the convolutional layer and reduce the data dimension. Its working principle is to divide the data of the convolutional layer into different regions according to the preset size, and perform maximum pooling and average pooling according to the selected pooling type. Maximum pooling selects the maximum value in the region as the feature value, while average pooling calculates the average value of the region as the feature information. Since the pooling layer does not have convolution operation, it will not increase the depth of the feature map. Through the pooling operation, the dimension of the feature map is greatly reduced, the calculation speed of the network model is accelerated, and the network overfitting phenomenon is avoided. For the design of the CNN pooling layer, the maximum pooling method is adopted, the size is 2x2, the step is 2, and the data padding method is selected as same.

[0102] Activation function: The activation function is a kind of non-linear mapping function, which is used with the convolutional layer to enhance the expression ability of the model. The original multilayer perceptron model cannot learn data features well without the introduction of the activation function. The introduction of the activation function in the CNN network increases the nonlinearity of the model and accelerates the gradient descent speed of the network training, which is used to process a large number of nonlinear data problems.

[0103] Fully connected layer: The data processed by the convolutional layer and the pooling layer is finally transmitted to the fully connected layer. In order to avoid overfitting, the Dropout regularization mechanism is introduced in the fully connected layer to effectively suppress a part of neurons during network training and only update the remaining neurons.

[0104] Working mechanism: the CNN network training adopts the back propagation mode, the principle is that the output result generated by the forward training is compared with the actual value, if the output deviation is large, the convolution kernel size, learning rate, data set ratio and other parameters need to be adjusted, so as to obtain the most suitable parameter value, this working mode based on output result adjusting network hyperparameters is called back propagation, using this working mode in the designed fault diagnosis model can improve the model output accuracy; the designed CNN structure refers to Figure 4 ;

[0105] The warning module is used for receiving the ventilation fan abnormal diagnosis result output by the abnormal diagnosis module, and acquiring the occurrence time and specific position of the ventilation fan abnormal diagnosis result;
