Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rotating machinery fault diagnosis, and in particular relates to a gear fault feature extraction method based on asynchronous and synchronous fuzzy similarity. Background Art

[0002] Rotating machinery and equipment are the core components of the modern industrial production system. Their efficient and stable operation is crucial to ensuring production efficiency and product quality. As a key link in the transmission of rotating machinery, the gear transmission system has been widely used in many fields such as automobiles, aviation, energy and manufacturing, and undertakes important functions such as power transmission and motion form conversion. In the long-term operation of gears, various faults such as pitting, broken teeth, cracks, and wear are prone to occur due to factors such as material fatigue, wear, overload, poor lubrication, and assembly errors. These faults will not only reduce the working efficiency of mechanical equipment, but may also cause major safety accidents, which will have a serious impact on production safety and economic benefits.

[0003] Traditional gear fault diagnosis methods rely on manual experience and regular shutdown inspections. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also often fails to diagnose weak faults, making it difficult to achieve early fault diagnosis. With the development of science and technology, especially the rapid development of sensor technology, signal processing technology, and artificial intelligence algorithms, modern gear fault diagnosis technology is gradually shifting towards online fault diagnosis, aiming to effectively reduce unplanned downtime, thereby improving equipment reliability and maintenance efficiency.

[0004] Fault feature extraction is a key step in gear fault diagnosis. At present, a variety of signal analysis methods have been applied to gear fault feature extraction. These signal analysis methods can be divided into the following three categories: time domain analysis method, frequency domain analysis method and time-frequency domain analysis method.

[0005] The fault feature extraction method based on complexity and similarity measurement is a time domain analysis method that can effectively extract gear fault features. During the gear operation process, gear faults will cause fault components to appear in the gear vibration signal, which in turn causes changes in the complexity and similarity of the vibration signal. Therefore, engineers often use complexity or similarity measurement methods to extract fault features.

[0006] In recent years, complexity measurement methods such as fuzzy entropy and permutation entropy have been widely used in gear fault feature extraction due to their superiority in processing non-stationary signals. However, the gear speed and gear meshing frequency in the signal and their harmonics seriously affect the performance of the above methods in fault extraction. To address this problem, the present invention patent discloses a gear fault feature extraction method based on asynchronous and synchronous fuzzy similarity. This method can divide the vibration signal into asynchronous and synchronous components, and then calculate the fuzzy similarity of each component respectively, so as to extract the gear fault features more comprehensively.

[0074] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0075] The calculation process of the gear fault feature extraction method based on asynchronous and synchronous fuzzy similarity disclosed in the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0076] Step (1): Determine the sampling frequency, sampling length, number of synchronous sampling points per gear revolution, embedding dimension m, time delay, and similarity tolerance threshold r for synchronous data acquisition.

[0077] The number of sampling points in each rotation period of the gear is determined by the sampling frequency. The sampling frequency is set to Mn to ensure that sufficient data M can be obtained in each rotation period of the gear, where n represents the gear speed (Hz). In this embodiment, the amount of data collected per gear rotation is M, so the time delay τ of phase space reconstruction is set to the time used to collect M data points, that is, the rotation period of the detected gear. The embedding dimension is set to 4, and the similarity tolerance threshold r is set to 0.15.

[0078] Step (2): Using the gear speed as a reference, a vibration sensor and a speed sensor are used to collect synchronous vibration data X.

[0079] The gear fault data set used in this embodiment is the WT-planetary gearbox data set published in the literature by Liu Dongdong et al. of Beijing University of Technology.

[0080] Figure 2 This is a WT-planetary gearbox test bench. The test bench consists of a motor, a planetary gearbox, a fixed-axis gearbox and a loading device. In a planetary gearbox, four planetary gears rotate around a sun gear.

[0081] The test bench simulates the working process of the sun gear under different health conditions. The health status of the sun gear includes gear health, gear damage, tooth surface wear and gear missing teeth. Figure 3 shown.

[0082] During the experiment, the sampling frequency was set to 48KHz, the sun gear speed was set to 20Hz, and the data length was set to twenty turns.

[0083] Through the resampling technology, the data is resampled to obtain data M = 2400 per gear revolution, so the time delay of phase space reconstruction is set to the time used for 2400 sampling intervals.

[0084] The phase space reconstruction of the synchronous vibration data is performed based on the phase space time delay τ=2400 and the embedding dimension m=4.

[0085] Step (3): Reconstruct the phase space P of the synchronous vibration data according to the preset time delay τ and embedding dimension m.

[0086] The phase space of the synchronous vibration data X is reconstructed according to the embedding dimension m and time delay τ set in steps (1) and (2):

[0088] Among them, the embedding vector is an m-dimensional vector represented by:

[0089]

[0090] Step (4): Centralize each m-dimensional vector in the phase space P to obtain the phase space P1 of the asynchronous component.

[0091] For each m-dimensional vector in the phase space P, a centralization method is used to centralize it to ensure that the mean value of each m-dimensional vector is 0;

[0092] Therefore, the embedding vector Centralized into:

[0093]

[0094] in, is the embedding vector The mean is as follows:

[0095]

[0096] The phase space P1 of the non-synchronous component is as follows:

[0097]

[0098] Step (5): Calculate the distance between each m-dimensional vector in the phase space P1 of the asynchronous component.

[0099] Calculate the standard deviation of the asynchronous component phase space P1 data As shown below:

[0100]

[0101] Wherein, N represents the total length of the vibration data X, that is, N = kM; A represents the mean value of all data in the phase space P1, as shown in the following formula:

[0102]

[0103] in, Represents the i-th m-dimensional vector in phase space P1 The (λ+1)th data in .

[0104] For the m-dimensional vector in phase space P1, calculate the m-dimensional vector and The mutual distance between:

[0105]

[0106] in, and Represent the i-th and j-th m-dimensional vectors in the phase space P1 respectively.

[0107] Step (6): Calculate the asynchronous fuzzy similarity.

[0108] According to the mutual distance between the m-dimensional vectors obtained in step (5) Calculate the similarity between each m-dimensional vector in the phase space P1, as shown in the following formula:

[0109]

[0110] According to the similarity between the m-dimensional vectors in the calculated phase space Compute asynchronous fuzzy similarity for vibration data:

[0111]

[0112] Step (7): Synchronously average each m-dimensional vector in the phase space P to obtain the phase space P2 of the synchronous component.

[0113] For each m-dimensional vector in the phase space P, a synchronous averaging method is used to process it and eliminate the asynchronous component;

[0114] Therefore, the m-dimensional vector in the phase space P is processed as:

[0115]

[0116] in, is the embedding vector The mean of .

[0117] The phase space P2 of the synchronization component is as follows:

[0118]

[0119] Step (8): Calculate the distance between each m-dimensional vector in the synchronization component phase space P2.

[0120] Calculate the standard deviation of all m-dimensional vector data in phase space P2 As shown below:

[0121]

[0122] Wherein, N represents the total length of the vibration data X, that is, N = kM; B represents the mean of all data in the phase space P2 after synchronous averaging processing, as shown in the following formula:

[0123]

[0124] Among them, z i (i+λM) represents the i-th m-dimensional vector in the synchronization component phase space P2 The (λ+1)th data in .

[0125] For the m-dimensional vector in phase space P2, calculate the m-dimensional vector and The distance between them:

[0126]

[0127] in, and Represent the i-th and j-th m-dimensional vectors in the phase space P2 respectively.

[0128] Step (9): Calculate the synchronous fuzzy similarity.

[0129] According to the mutual distance between the m-dimensional embedding vectors obtained in step (8) Calculate the similarity between each embedding vector in the m-dimensional phase space as shown in the following formula:

[0130]

[0131] According to the similarity between the m-dimensional vectors in the calculated phase space Compute the synchronized fuzzy similarity of vibration data:

[0132]

[0133] Step (10): Use the asynchronous fuzzy similarity and the synchronous fuzzy similarity as gear fault features.

[0134] The asynchronous fuzzy similarity and synchronous fuzzy similarity values ​​of the four health status gears are shown as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the plus sign represents tooth surface wear, the square represents gear damage, the star represents gear missing teeth, and the circle represents healthy gear. Figure 4 It can be seen that the fault features of gear health, tooth surface wear and gear damage are well extracted; the fuzzy similarity values ​​of the gear in the state of missing teeth are relatively scattered. This is because when the gear is in the state of missing teeth, the probability of random situations occurring during meshing is greater, and the collected vibration data usually shows significant disorder.

[0135] From the results, the method of the present invention can well extract the fault characteristics of gears in four healthy states: healthy gear, tooth surface wear, gear damage and gear missing teeth. The method of the present invention has a small computational complexity. In this embodiment, the average computational cost of extracting asynchronous fuzzy similarity and synchronous fuzzy similarity by the method of the present invention is 0.249 seconds, while the average computational cost of the traditional fuzzy entropy method is 1.449 seconds. It can be seen that compared with the traditional fuzzy entropy method, the method of the present invention has a lower computational complexity. The method of the present invention can extract gear fault characteristics in real time.

[0136] In summary, compared with the gear fault feature extraction method based on traditional fuzzy entropy, the method of the present invention can effectively extract gear fault features. At the same time, the present invention has lower computational complexity, significantly saves computational costs, and can extract gear fault features in real time.
