Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of mechanical blades, and particularly relates to a rotor blade dynamic field rapid reconstruction method based on a deep neural network model. BACKGROUND

[0002] Blades are an important component in rotating machinery, especially in turbines and compressors. The shape and design of the blades directly affect the efficiency and performance of the machine. However, blades work at high speed and in complex environments, and are prone to vibration due to factors such as fluid excitation, imbalance, mechanical looseness, and structural defects. Vibration problems not only affect the normal operation of the equipment, but also can cause fatigue failure and shorten the service life of the blades, and even cause serious safety accidents. Therefore, vibration monitoring of blades is of great significance for the reliability, safety, performance optimization, and life extension of rotating machinery. Through online monitoring and other means, the vibration characteristics of the blades under different rotational speeds and working conditions can be deeply understood, thereby supporting the identification and prevention of blade failure, extending the service life of the equipment, improving the operation reliability, and ensuring the safety of the equipment and personnel.

[0003] Dynamic strain measurement is an important part of blade vibration monitoring research. Traditional dynamic strain measurement methods mainly rely on strain gauge method, which involves pasting strain gauges on the surface of rotating blades, combining slip ring power supply and telemetry technology to achieve strain measurement. This contact measurement method has many limitations. First, the installation process of the strain gauge is very strict, often requiring modification of the rotor system, increasing the complexity of the structure. Second, the presence of strain gauges and their connecting leads increases the additional mass of the blades, especially for small structures. In addition, strain gauges are prone to failure in high temperature and high pressure environments, resulting in inaccurate measurement results. Strain gauge method also has the problems of difficult installation, easy to fall off at high speed, many additional devices, large influence on flow field, long measurement period, and high measurement cost. Especially when multiple points need to be measured, strain gauges need to be repeatedly arranged, further increasing the measurement difficulty and cost. These shortcomings make it difficult for the strain gauge method to meet the requirements of real-time monitoring of blade dynamic strain field.

[0004] BTT is a non-contact measurement technology that installs sensors on the circumference of rotating equipment to record the time when the blade tip passes through the sensor position. By analyzing the time deviation of the blade tip actually passing through the sensor from the ideal non-vibration state passing through the sensor, the displacement of the blade tip at that moment is calculated. Then the complete displacement curve of the blade tip during rotation is reconstructed using signal processing methods, and the vibration frequency, amplitude and phase of the blade are obtained through frequency spectrum analysis. Based on the finite element modal analysis of the blade and the vibration displacement of the tip, the displacement field, strain field and stress field of the entire blade can be obtained using modal superposition theory. By continuously monitoring the vibration and strain of the blade, abnormalities can be detected in time to provide early warning information and avoid catastrophic failures.

[0005] Since the engine speed is relatively fixed, the number of sensors installed on the casing directly affects the sampling frequency of the blade tip timing device. In order to make the sampling frequency meet the Nyquist criterion, the number of sensors to be installed will be large, which is difficult to achieve in actual engineering use. Therefore, identifying key information such as complex blade vibration frequency and amplitude through undersampling signals is a problem that needs to be focused on in blade tip timing vibration measurement. The existing BTT signal reconstruction method is often based on the assumption of constant speed and requires prior information, so it is sensitive to noise, has low reconstruction efficiency, and the reconstruction accuracy is limited by the sampling frequency and sparsity assumption. SUMMARY

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present application provides a rotor blade dynamic field fast reconstruction method based on a deep neural network model. First, the BTT signal containing blade vibration information is collected, then a deep neural network model is designed, the deep neural network model is trained through a training data set, and the mapping relationship from the BTT signal to the complete vibration signal is learned. Next, the trained deep neural network model is used to process the measured BTT signal, and the blade vibration displacement signal is reconstructed. Then, the reconstructed blade vibration displacement signal is analyzed by spectrum, and the vibration frequency, amplitude and phase parameters are identified. Then, the finite element model of the blade is established, the natural frequency and modal shape of the blade are determined through modal analysis, and the modal response of the blade is analyzed in combination with the vibration parameters. Finally, the identified vibration parameters and modal analysis results are used to quickly calculate the displacement field, strain field and stress field of the blade in the vibration state based on the modal superposition theory. The present application can realize real-time understanding of the vibration displacement and stress condition of the blade, support real-time decision-making, and improve the safety, reliability and durability of the rotating machinery.

[0144] Embodiment:

[0145] Referring to Figure 1 , one embodiment of the present application provides a rotor blade dynamic field fast reconstruction method based on a deep neural network model, which comprises the following steps:

[0146] Step 1: Collect BTT signals containing blade vibration information, and perform pretreatment such as de-energization and filtering;

[0147] As shown in Figure 2 , first, 5 laser sensors are installed on the outer fixed part of the rotating machinery with 12 blades in a circumferential direction according to the angle distribution of {0°, 20°, 90°, 145°, 195°}, and an encoder is installed at the shaft end;

[0148] Before starting operation, the order of each blade passing through the sensor position is calibrated to accurately record the time when different blades pass through different BTT sensors;

[0149] When the blade passes through the BTT sensor, the sensor will generate a voltage pulse in the output signal, and if the blade tip deflects, the occurrence time of this pulse signal will be advanced or delayed relative to the "non-vibration" blade signal calculated from the time reference signal. At the same time, the encoder will also generate a pulse sequence in each rotation period, which not only serves as a time reference signal for the blade tip timing, but also records the time stamp of the pulse into the computer through the data acquisition system.

[0150] Based on the time signals generated by the BTT sensor and the encoder, the vibration deflection angle of each blade at each BTT sensor is calculated

[0151]

[0152] wherein T i k is the time when the k-th blade passes through the i-th BTT sensor, Ω n is the average rotational speed of the n-th revolution, is the theoretical time when the k-th blade passes through the i-th BTT sensor under vibration conditions obtained from the encoder, is the vibration angle of the k-th blade passing through the i-th BTT sensor.

[0153] All signals collected by the BTT sensors By correctly assigning the blades to each blade according to their order of travel, the tip displacement sequence of the k-th blade in the nth revolution can be obtained as follows:

[0154]

[0155] in, R is the displacement of the k-th blade recorded by the i-th sensor in the n-th revolution, and R is the distance from the blade tip to the center of rotation. The sequence of tip displacements for each revolution is x = {x...} 1 ,…,x I The BTT signal of the blade within a certain time range is obtained by cascading the signals.

[0156] The displacement time series of each blade is subjected to depotentialization and filtering to eliminate the static displacement component and noise of the blade. Figure 3 This is the BTT signal for the second blade within 20 revolutions at a speed of 3400 rpm.

[0157] Step 2: Design a suitable deep neural network model, train the model using a training dataset, and learn the mapping relationship from BTT signal to complete vibration signal;

[0158] Design one Figure 4 The deep neural network model shown combines CNN and LSTM. The CNN consists of only three convolutional layers with 32, 64, and 1 kernels respectively, all with a kernel size of 5. No pooling layers are used to ensure the vibration signal length remains constant. The activation function for all three convolutional layers is ReLU. A final convolutional kernel ensures an initial reconstructed signal with the same size as the original signal. The LSTM has 250 cells, and the final fully connected layer has 256 neurons, ensuring the shape of the secondary reconstructed signal is the same as the original signal.

Simulated signals are generated for different combinations of the number, frequency order, amplitude, and phase of multimodal resonances, resulting in a dataset represented as X = {x}. (1) ,...,x (i) ,...,x (l)};

[0160] The complete simulated vibration signal is compressed using the BTT method. The acquisition process of the i-th compressed signal is represented as follows:

[0161] y (i) =φ m×n x (i) (25)

[0162] in, The linear mapping matrix is ​​determined by the BTT sensor mounting angle, and the compressed vibration signal dataset is represented as Y = {y (1) ,...,y (i) ,...,y (l)};
