Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fans, and in particular to a method for locating a fan bearing fault based on an adaptive soundprint sensor network. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, fault detection of fan bearings mainly relies on regular manual inspections or vibration analysis technology based on a single sensor. The existing method requires operation and maintenance personnel to regularly manually inspect fan bearings or monitor them through vibration sensors installed near the bearings. Such traditional methods are inefficient and easily interfered by environmental noise and complex working conditions. It is often difficult to capture subtle fault signals in the early stages of a fault. The prior art usually uses a single type of sensor for data acquisition, which makes it impossible to fully and comprehensively obtain the operating status of the fan bearings, resulting in insufficient data integrity and accuracy, further affecting the timeliness and accuracy of fault detection.

[0003] In addition to the problem of detection accuracy, most of the existing fan bearing fault location technologies rely on post-analysis, that is, troubleshooting and repair are carried out only after the equipment has obvious faults. The fault location response time is long, which not only causes long-term equipment downtime and increases maintenance costs, but may also cause serious equipment damage and even affect the operating stability of the entire fan system. Traditional data analysis methods based on single-point sensors are also unable to fully utilize multi-dimensional data for comprehensive evaluation, resulting in poor robustness of fault location results. The determination of fault type and location under complex working conditions is often not accurate enough.

[0004] There is another problem with the existing technology, which is the lack of effective intelligent analysis methods when processing large amounts of real-time monitoring data. The current fault detection system usually only relies on simple signal processing technology and traditional machine learning methods, which cannot flexibly deal with the interference of data noise and redundant information, and it is difficult to adjust the sensor's acquisition strategy and analysis model in real time according to changes in the wind turbine operating environment, further limiting the accuracy and real-time performance of fault detection and positioning.

[0005] In summary, the existing technology has the following main shortcomings: first, the fault detection accuracy is low, especially in the early stage of the fault, it is difficult to accurately capture the abnormal signal; second, the fault location response is slow, resulting in long equipment downtime, increasing maintenance costs and risks; finally, the system lacks intelligence and adaptive capabilities, and cannot dynamically adjust the data collection and analysis strategies according to changes in the wind turbine operating environment, which limits the accuracy and real-time performance of fault detection and location.

The integrated model comprehensively evaluates the characteristics of different faults. In terms of the priority classification of fault severity, the fault type is optimized by the vibration amplitude and bispectral entropy, and the fault is prioritized according to its severity, thereby improving the accuracy and precision of fault classification, ensuring that maintenance personnel can handle high-priority faults in a timely manner, significantly shortening the fault response time and reducing the downtime risk of the fan system.

[0182] Embodiment 1:

[0183] In this embodiment 1, a large wind farm is located in the coastal area of ​​A and has 100 large wind turbines. The bearing system of each wind turbine is a key component in the operation of the wind turbine. The operation and maintenance team of the power farm found in past maintenance records that due to the complex operating environment of the bearings (including high humidity, high wind speed, and large temperature difference between day and night), the bearing failure rate is high, and wear and crack failures are more frequent. The power farm decided to adopt the wind turbine bearing fault location method based on the adaptive voiceprint sensor network of the present invention to improve the accuracy and real-time performance of fault detection.

[0184] In April 2024, the operation and maintenance team installed an adaptive soundprint sensor network on 20 wind turbines. Four adaptive soundprint sensor nodes were arranged at the bearings, shaft and blade base of each wind turbine. After the system is started, the sensor network monitors the operation of the wind turbine bearings in real time, collects the vibration frequency, noise signal and abnormal acoustic signal during bearing operation, and automatically adjusts the sensitivity and operating frequency of the sensor through an adaptive algorithm to ensure that the abnormal characteristic signals of the wind turbine bearings can be captured under various environmental conditions.

[0185] During a full-load operation phase in May 2024, the system detected an abnormality in the bearing of the fan numbered "FJ-45". Specifically, the amplitude of the vibration frequency suddenly increased in a short period of time, far exceeding the average value during normal operation and reaching 1.5 times the set threshold. At the same time, the noise signal also showed obvious abnormal fluctuations, and the energy characteristics in the noise spectrum increased rapidly during the high-load period of the bearing operation.

[0186] After the sensor nodes monitored these signals, the system immediately started fault analysis. The semi-supervised machine learning model system preliminarily classified these abnormal signals and preliminarily identified that the bearing might have a wear fault. Further verification was performed through an integrated learning model. The results of the integrated random forest, gradient boosting tree and support vector machine models showed that in addition to wear faults, the abnormal vibration characteristics of the bearing were also highly consistent with the bearing crack characteristics. The model gave the fault signal a priority score of 85 points, which exceeded the high-priority fault alarm threshold of 70 points.

[0187] The system generated a detailed fault report at 15:30 on May 18, 2024, recording the specific fault type (wear and cracks), fault location (main bearing area) and fault severity of the fan "FJ-45". The report showed that the vibration frequency detected by the sensor increased sharply in a short period of time, and the energy spectrum characteristics of the noise signal showed nonlinear changes, suggesting that small cracks may appear on the bearing surface. The system sent a high-priority alarm signal to the maintenance team through the alarm module, and sent emergency maintenance notices via SMS and emails requiring technicians to go and check immediately.

[0188] After receiving the alarm notification, the maintenance team shut down the fan to inspect it at 16:15 on May 18, 2024. Through on-site inspection, the technicians confirmed that the fan main bearing did have wear and tiny cracks. If not replaced in time, it might cause more serious bearing damage. The technicians completed the replacement and maintenance of the bearing within two hours after the shutdown, and the fan was restarted at 18:30 on the same day, avoiding prolonged shutdown and larger-scale equipment damage.

[0189] In order to further verify the effectiveness of the method of the present invention, the operation and maintenance team compared the performance of the traditional fault detection method and the method of the present invention in the same time period. The following Table 1 is a specific data comparison:

[0190] Table 1 Data comparison between the method of the present invention and the traditional method

[0191] project Method of the present invention Traditional methods Fault detection times 18 times 9 times Detection fault type Wear, cracks, fatigue Wear only Fault detection accuracy 97% 75% Average fault response time (minutes) 12 minutes 50 minutes High priority fault location accuracy 96% 60% Maintenance completion time (hours) 2 hours 6 hours System downtime (hours) 2 hours 8 hours Maintenance cost (yuan) About 10,000 yuan About 25,000 yuan

[0192] It can be clearly seen from the two-month test data that the method of the present invention has significant advantages in fault detection accuracy and response time. The traditional method can only detect bearing wear problems through manual or single sensors when obvious problems occur in the fan and it usually takes 50 minutes to respond. The present invention monitors the operation of the fan bearings in real time through an adaptive voiceprint sensor network, and can identify faults within 12 minutes. It can also identify more fault types through semi-supervised learning and integrated learning models, thereby more comprehensively monitoring the health status of the fan bearings.

[0193] In addition, traditional methods also have obvious disadvantages in fault handling and maintenance costs. Taking the fan "FJ-45" ​​as an example, if the traditional detection method is used, the crack fault will not be discovered in the early stage until the bearing is seriously damaged and maintenance is not taken, resulting in long-term shutdown and increased risk of equipment damage. The present invention can issue an early warning at the beginning of the crack and promptly notify maintenance personnel to carry out repairs, avoiding high maintenance costs and long-term equipment shutdown.

[0194] This embodiment fully demonstrates the application effect of the wind turbine bearing fault location method based on the adaptive voiceprint sensor network of the present invention in an actual wind farm. Through real-time monitoring of the adaptive sensor network, fault identification of semi-supervised machine learning and fault review of the integrated learning model, the present invention not only improves the accuracy of fault detection but also greatly shortens the fault response time, reduces system downtime and reduces maintenance costs, and provides a strong guarantee for the safe operation of the wind power generation system.

[0195] The adaptive voiceprint sensor network in the present invention can adaptively adjust according to multiple factors such as the fan operating environment, load changes, environmental noise and temperature changes by dynamically adjusting the sensitivity, operating frequency and acquisition mode of the sensor nodes, effectively solving the problem that traditional fixed sensors cannot cope with inaccurate data collection under complex working conditions, so that the collected acoustic signals can accurately reflect the actual operating status of the fan bearing, thereby greatly improving the accuracy of fault detection. The dynamic adjustment mechanism ensures that the sensor can still maintain efficient monitoring even in harsh environments, avoiding the problems of missed detection or false detection caused by interference from environmental factors in traditional methods.

[0196] The present invention introduces a semi-supervised machine learning model, which can significantly improve the fault recognition performance of the model by utilizing unlabeled data with a small amount of labeled data. By constructing an acoustic feature set and training it using a semi-supervised learning method, the model can adaptively extract and analyze the vibration characteristics, energy characteristics and abnormal noise characteristics in the acoustic signals of the fan bearings and accurately identify the wear, cracks and fatigue fault types of the bearings. Compared with traditional supervised learning methods, semi-supervised learning not only improves the accuracy of fault recognition, but also effectively reduces the dependence on large-scale labeled data and improves the robustness of the system under different working conditions.

[0197] The present invention constructs an integrated learning model by integrating multiple basic models such as random forest, gradient boosting tree and support vector machine to review and further classify the initially identified fault signals. The integrated model comprehensively evaluates different fault characteristics. In terms of fault severity priority classification, the fault type determination is optimized by vibration amplitude and bispectral entropy and priority is divided according to the severity of the fault, thereby improving the accuracy and precision of fault classification, ensuring that maintenance personnel can handle high-priority faults in a timely manner, significantly shortening the fault response time and reducing the downtime risk of the fan system.

[0198] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
