Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rotating machinery vibration testing, and in particular to a method, system, medium and equipment for dynamically extracting the natural frequency of a blade using a single-sensor blade tip timing undersampling signal. Background Art

[0002] Rotor blades are one of the core components of rotating machinery. They are subjected to high temperature, high pressure and complex loads. They work in harsh conditions and are prone to cracks, friction and other faults, which have a direct impact on the operating safety and work efficiency of rotating machinery. Therefore, structural health monitoring of rotor blades is of great significance.

[0003] Blade tip timing measurement technology has attracted widespread attention due to its non-contact, minimally invasive, and online monitoring capabilities. The blade natural frequency information contained in the blade tip timing measurement signal can accurately reflect the blade's health, making the extraction of this natural frequency information a key research topic. However, due to the highly undersampled nature of the blade tip timing measurement signal, the signal spectrum is aliased, making it challenging to recover the correct natural frequency from the aliased signal. Furthermore, due to practical installation location limitations, blade tip timing sensors cannot be deployed in an unlimited and unconstrained manner, and the blade tip timing measurement signal itself is non-uniform. While existing blade tip timing signal natural frequency extraction schemes can extract the blade's natural frequency, they require constructing a virtual signal with a frequency range close to the blade's natural frequency. Relying solely on amplitude to extract characteristic frequency components, they cannot overcome the limitations of the highly undersampling, low sample count, and are significantly affected by noise. Therefore, addressing the non-uniformity and undersampling of the blade tip timing signal while simultaneously meeting practical installation location limitations and facilitating the construction of a virtual signal to avoid noise influences remains a pressing issue.
