[0011] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, the technical features in the various embodiments or single embodiments provided by the present invention can be arbitrarily combined with each other to form a feasible technical solution. This combination is not subject to the constraints of the sequence of steps and / or the structural composition mode, but must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to achieve. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be achieved, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0012] Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for evaluating the reliability of ship spare parts based on field failure data provided by the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0013] Step S1, obtaining the on-site failure interval time failure data of ship spare parts, wherein the on-site failure interval time failure data of ship spare parts includes the working time of ship equipment, the number of installed parts, the number of carried spare parts and the spare parts failure interval time.

[0014] Among them, when the ship is performing a mission, the crew can only record the working time of the equipment when recording the operating data of the equipment, but cannot record the working time of each component. When the equipment fails, the fault location is located through fault detection and the fault time is recorded, so as to determine the faulty component and replace the spare part. Therefore, it is assumed that all components of the equipment are working normally during operation, the working time of the equipment is approximately equal to the working time of the spare parts, and the number of spare parts carried for each mission is N. In order to ensure that the equipment can work normally when a certain component fails, the equipment spare parts are generally redundantly set, and usually the number of components installed on a type of equipment is s≥2. After sorting, the data structure of ship spare parts on-site use is mainly composed of equipment working time, number of installed parts, number of spare parts carried, and spare parts failure interval time, and its form is:

[0015] (T i ,s i ,N i ,τ ij )(1);

[0016] Among them, Ti ,i=1,2,...,n is the working time of the equipment in the i-th mission, s i is the number of components installed on the equipment, N i is the number of spare parts carried for the i-th mission, τ ijk ,j=1,2,...,s i , is the kth failure interval of the jth component in the i-th task, r ij ,j=1,2,...,s i is the number of failures of the jth component in the i-th task. The specific data collection format is shown in Table 1.

[0017] Table 1 Spare parts field use data

[0018]

[0019]

[0020] make is the total number of failures in the i-th task.

[0021] Failure data with fault interval time, for important and high-value components, usually accurately records the time when the fault occurs or the time when the spare part is replaced. Assuming that the time for replacing the faulty part is not counted, the spare part failure interval time can be obtained by subtracting adjacent times. The data format is as shown in the above formula (1).

[0022] Step S2, constructing a likelihood function of the failure interval time of a single component and a likelihood function of the failure interval time of multiple components respectively according to the on-site failure interval time failure data of the ship spare parts.

[0023] Step S3, deriving a first posterior distribution of the failure interval time of a single component and a second posterior distribution of the failure interval time of multiple components based on the Bayesian theory.

[0024] It can be understood that according to the failure interval failure data of the ship spare parts on site, the failure interval of a single component and the failure interval of multiple components are analyzed respectively.

[0025] For a single component, when there is a failure interval, the data format is as shown in formula (1), τ ij is the failure interval of a component. At this time, the field data contains two parts of information. One part is the spare parts life information, and its life obeys exponential distribution. Obviously, the failure interval τ is a random variable and obeys exponential distribution, so its likelihood function is:

[0026]

[0027] Where n represents the number of tasks, ri represents the number of component failures in the i-th task, λ represents the component failure rate, Indicates that the component in the i-th task has r i The time interval between failures.

[0028] The other part is the right end data information, that is, the spare parts have not failed at the end of the task. i is the indicator function, when r i ≤N i Time I i =1; otherwise I i =0. Its meaning is:

[0029] (1) If r i -1=N i , that is, all spare parts have been replaced during the mission period and the last spare part fails, then I i =0, there is no right end data.

[0030] (2) If r i ≤N i , that is, there is a spare part that has not failed at the end of the task, then I i =1, there is a final term.

[0031] Therefore, the likelihood function of the right-end data information can be expressed as:

[0032]

[0033] Where F(t) is the exponential life distribution function, represents the survival probability after the last failure in the i-th mission.

[0034] In order to make the likelihood function contain the above two parts of information, the likelihood functions of the two parts of information are combined to obtain the comprehensive likelihood function:

[0035]

[0036] In order to explore whether the construction of the comprehensive likelihood function is reasonable and its practical significance, the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) of equation (4) is derived. Taking the log-likelihood function and setting it equal to zero, we get

[0037]

[0038] in, The expression of the maximum likelihood estimate λ is solved as

[0039]

[0040] From the result of formula (6), we can see that the form of the estimated value is consistent with statistical expectations, and it can be considered that the construction of the comprehensive likelihood function is reasonable.

[0041] After constructing the likelihood function of the fault interval time of a single component, the posterior analysis of the fault interval time of a single component is analyzed using Bayesian theory. Among them, the present invention mainly derives the linear weighted posterior distribution and geometric weighted posterior distribution of the fault interval time of a single component.

[0042] For the linearly weighted posterior distribution, its expression is:

[0043]

[0044] For the molecule part:

[0045]

[0046] For the denominator:

[0047]

[0048] The linear weighted posterior distribution of the failure interval time of a single component is expressed as:

[0049] but

[0050]

[0051] Among them, w k represents the weight of the kth prior distribution, m is the number of prior distributions, b k represents the scale parameter of the kth prior distribution, a k denotes the shape parameter of the kth prior distribution and Γ(·) denotes the gamma function.

[0052] For the geometrically weighted posterior distribution, the expression of the posterior distribution is as shown in formula (7), where for the numerator:

[0053]

[0054] For the denominator:

[0055]

[0056] The geometrically weighted posterior distribution of the failure interval time of a single component is expressed as:

[0057]

[0058] Among them, a k represents the shape parameter of the kth prior distribution, b k represents the scale parameter of the kth prior distribution, w i ′ represents the weight of the kth prior distribution, and Γ(·) represents the gamma function.

[0059] Among them, the geometric weighted posterior distribution of the failure interval time of a single component is a gamma distribution, and its shape parameter is The scale parameter is

[0060] For multiple tasks and multiple components, when multiple components are installed for each task, that is, s i >1,τ ijk is the kth failure interval of the jth component in the i-th task. The failure interval τ, which represents the spare part life information, is a random variable that obeys an exponential distribution, and its likelihood function is:

[0061]

[0062] in is the total number of failures in the i-th task, let represents the sum of the failure intervals of the jth component during the i-th mission, then:

[0063]

[0064] End data information, that is, the spare parts have not failed at the end of the task, considering the i-th task j=1,2,...,s i The last faulty spare part of a component, whether the right-truncation data of the jth component is generated depends on whether its last faulty spare part is replaced; assuming that the replacement time of the equipment component is not counted, the last spare part failure time should be t ij Sort from smallest to largest to generate order statistics x=1,2,...,s i ,in

[0065] Assume the number of spare parts carried during the mission is N i , whether the last faulty spare part is replaced is determined by the following formula:

[0066]

[0067] Among them, when N i ≥r i When the number of spare parts carried is greater than the total number of failures, s i The last faulty spare parts of all components have been replaced, and all faults have occurred by the end of the task. This task has s i Right-censored data;

[0068] When N i =r i -s i When iThe last faulty spare parts of the components were not replaced at all, and there were 0 right-truncated data in this task;

[0069] When i -s i <N i <r i When i The last faulty spare part of a component is replaced, let x = N i -(r i -s i ), then there are x right-truncated data in this task;

[0070] According to the principle of immediate replacement of faults, the parts with the smallest faults at the time of failure are replaced first. x=1,2,...,X The corresponding component has right-end data, and the variable x can be expressed as:

[0071]

[0072] The likelihood function of the right end data information of a task is expressed as:

[0073]

[0074] The likelihood function of the right end data information of n tasks can be expressed as:

[0075]

[0076] The likelihood function of spare parts life information and the likelihood function of right tail data information are combined to obtain the comprehensive likelihood function of the failure interval time of multiple components:

[0077]

[0078] In order to explore whether the construction of the comprehensive likelihood function is reasonable and its practical significance, the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) of equation (21) is derived. Taking the log-likelihood function and setting it equal to zero, we get

[0079]

[0080] in, The expression of the maximum likelihood estimate λ is solved as

[0081]

[0082] Judging from the MLE results, the form of the estimated value is consistent with statistical expectations, and it can be considered that the construction of the comprehensive likelihood function is reasonable.

[0083] After constructing the comprehensive likelihood function of the multi-component fault interval time, its posterior distribution is derived. The present invention mainly derives the linear weighted posterior distribution and the geometric weighted posterior distribution of the multi-component fault interval time.

[0084] For the linearly weighted posterior distribution, its expression is:

[0085]

[0086] For the molecule part:

[0087]

[0088] For the denominator:

[0089]

[0090] Linearly weighted posterior distribution of the time between failures for multiple components:

[0091]

[0092] The geometrically weighted posterior distribution of the failure interval time of multiple components is expressed as formula (24).

[0093] For the molecular part:

[0094]

[0095] For the denominator:

[0096]

[0097] The geometrically weighted posterior distribution of the time between failures of multiple components is:

[0098]

[0099] The geometrically weighted posterior distribution of the failure intervals of multiple components is a gamma distribution with a shape parameter of The scale parameter is

[0100] Step S4: evaluating the reliability of ship spare parts based on the first posterior distribution and the second posterior distribution.

[0101] It is understandable that the above step S3 respectively constructs the likelihood function of the single-component failure interval time and derives its posterior distribution, and constructs the likelihood function of the multi-component failure interval time and derives its posterior distribution.

[0102] According to the posterior distribution of the single-component failure interval time and the posterior distribution of the multi-component failure interval time, the distribution expectation value of the ship's reliability parameters is calculated, and the reliability of the ship's spare parts can be evaluated.

[0103] It should be noted that the focus of the present invention is on the expression of the failure data of the fault interval time of ship spare parts, and the failure data of the fault interval time of ship spare parts, respectively constructing the likelihood function of the failure interval time of a single component and deriving its posterior distribution, as well as constructing the likelihood function of the failure interval time of multiple components and deriving its posterior distribution, for the subsequent reliability evaluation of ship spare parts.
