Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rotating machinery fault diagnosis technology, and in particular, it is a method for diagnosing acoustic emission faults of rotating mechanical components based on bidirectional weighted cyclic stability. Background Technology

[0002] Acoustic emission technology, as an effective tool for monitoring the damage process of rotating machinery components, has demonstrated high sensitivity to the detection of early and subtle faults, providing an indispensable supplement to the current condition monitoring technology system.

[0003] While combining acoustic emission technology with health indicators enables real-time tracking of damage states, its analytical focus leans towards processing time-domain information, with insufficient in-depth mining and utilization of frequency-domain information. When rotating components fail, their acoustic emission responses typically exhibit significant impact and cyclic stationarity characteristics. Therefore, extracting signal components that correspond to these characteristics has become a core research objective. In existing acoustic emission signal spectrum analysis and diagnostic techniques, most methods borrow from vibration acceleration-based algorithm frameworks, with resonance demodulation technology being particularly prominent. This encompasses a series of blind filtering methods, such as 1 / 3 binary tree spectrum analysis, deconvolution processing, and signal decomposition. The core of these methods lies in accurately locating and extracting the target narrowband signal containing the maximum amount of fault information through optimization strategies, followed by envelope analysis to further highlight fault characteristics.

[0004] In practical applications, the accuracy and reliability of diagnostic results are often severely affected when the signal-to-noise ratio of the target frequency band is low or when other non-fault-related information is mixed in. Furthermore, the selection of filter parameters needs to be flexibly adjusted according to the specific application scenario, a process highly dependent on the knowledge and practical experience of domain experts. Another important method utilizes cyclostationary analysis tools, which can effectively detect the statistical periodicity characteristics of signals across the entire carrier frequency domain, thus avoiding the dilemma of frequency band selection. In the field of mechanical condition monitoring, research has successfully introduced cyclostationary technology into the detection of unknown targets, with applications including the monitoring of helicopters and underwater propellers. Cyclostationary algorithms, including spectral correlation analysis and spectral coherence analysis, provide a new perspective for signal processing by converting time-domain signals into a bispectral mapping form of cyclic frequency and carrier frequency.

[0005] However, current cyclic stationary analysis methods that integrate acoustic emission technology still face several challenges: First, it is difficult to simultaneously and effectively extract fault feature information distributed across multiple narrow frequency bands within a wider range of acoustic emission information frequency bands; second, the prior information upon which feature extraction relies is limited by fault features derived from dynamic models, and the noise suppression problem within the preferred frequency band has not been properly solved; finally, acoustic emission monitoring technology based on cyclic stationary analysis has previously focused mainly on single components such as rolling bearings, and reports on its application in monitoring other complex mechanical rotating parts are still scarce.

[0006] Therefore, given the wide frequency response range and rich information content of acoustic emission signals, it is urgent and necessary to seek a method for diagnosing acoustic emission faults of mechanical rotating parts based on bidirectional weighted cyclic stationary signals, so as to effectively extract and identify early weak fault features.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other. The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0067] Figure 1 This invention illustrates a method for diagnosing acoustic emission faults in rotating mechanical components based on bidirectional weighted cyclostationarity. This method fully exploits the difference in cyclostationarity between healthy and faulty states. The method includes the following steps:

[0068] S1. Acquire the acoustic emission signal to be diagnosed, obtain the cyclic spectrum coherence function, and obtain the baseline discrete spectrum coherence mapping and the discrete spectrum coherence mapping to be diagnosed.

[0069] S11. In continuous monitoring scenarios, use an acoustic emission monitoring system to obtain historical health operation baseline data of the machine. H After (t), the acoustic emission signal x(t) to be diagnosed is acquired. To ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of signal acquisition, the acoustic emission sensor should be placed in a flat position close to the rotating mechanical part under test, and fixed by adhesive or magnetic clamp. If magnetic clamp is used, high-vacuum silicone grease or other acoustic coupling agent should be applied to optimize signal transmission. Before formal testing, a lead breakage test is also required to verify the reliability and stability of the sensor connection. The acoustic emission signal to be diagnosed undergoes preprocessing, including high-frequency sampling, data truncation, and mean removal, to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent analysis.

[0070] S12. Calculate the time-varying autocorrelation function R of the acoustic emission signal x(t) to be diagnosed. xx (t,τ):

[0074] S x (α,f)=∫∫R x (t,τ)e -j2π(αt+fτ) dtdτ (2)

[0075] Where α represents the cyclic frequency; f represents the spectral frequency; j represents the imaginary number; and e represents the exponential function.

[0076] The cyclic frequency α and the spectral frequency f correspond to the time t and time delay τ before mapping, respectively, and also indicate the modulation frequency and carrier frequency of the acoustic emission signal x(t) to be diagnosed.

[0077] S14. Calculate the cyclic spectrum coherence function γ of the acoustic emission signal x(t) to be diagnosed. x (α,f), for the cyclic spectrum correlation function S in formula (2) x(α,f) is represented in energy-normalized form as follows:

[0078]

[0079] S15, Based on the cyclic spectral coherence function γ x (α,f), combined with spectral estimation methods, obtain the baseline discrete spectral coherence mapping of the acoustic emission signal x(t) to be diagnosed. Coherent mapping with discrete spectrum of the diagnosis

[0080] S2. Obtain the weight redistribution vector based on the baseline discrete spectrum coherence mapping and the discrete spectrum coherence mapping to be diagnosed.

[0081] In the spectral frequency dimension of the spectral coherence matrix, this invention dynamically determines the spectral frequency weights by evaluating the deviation of each sub-band monitoring signal relative to the baseline signal, aiming to enhance the diagnostic accuracy and efficiency of the one-dimensional mapping obtained after integrating along the spectral frequency.

[0082] Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD), as a metric, effectively quantifies the distance between two statistical distributions in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space, and is particularly suitable for assessing the degree of difference between the sensor signal to be diagnosed and historical health data. Compared with other discrepancy quantification techniques, MMD exhibits superior discrepancy representation capabilities and numerical stability. Furthermore, by appropriately selecting the kernel function, the mapping strategy of the feature space can be flexibly adjusted and optimized.

[0083] Define a first probability distribution p and a second probability distribution q. Assume that the first set of signal data X follows the pattern X ~ p, and the second set of signal data Y follows the pattern Y ~ q. The maximum mean difference (MMD) is used as the metric. Represented as:

[0084]

[0085] in, The n represents the set of functions in the sample space; f(·) denotes the mapping to the reproducing Hilbert space; p and n q These represent the number of samples in the first group of signal data X and the second group of signal data Y, respectively; x i and y j These represent sample data from the first group of signal data X and the second group of signal data Y, respectively. Maximum Mean Difference (MMD) metric. The larger the value, the greater the distance between the first set of signal data X and the second set of signal data Y.

[0086] Based on the maximum mean difference (MMD) metric, the patient-baseline difference for each spectral frequency component in the cyclic spectral coherence function is assessed, and the spectral frequency weight redistribution vector R is calculated.

[0087]

[0088] in, This represents the baseline discrete spectrum coherence mapping. f represents the discrete spectrum coherence mapping to be diagnosed. n Indicates a resolution of F s / N w The nth spectral component in the spectral frequency; F s N represents the sampling frequency; w The window length set in the cyclic coherence spectrum estimation.

[0089] S3. Obtain the difference spectrum coherence matrix based on the cyclic spectrum coherence function.

[0090] In the cyclic axis direction of the spectral coherence matrix, residual signals based on a health reference are used to characterize the cyclic components introduced by the fault.

[0091] S31. Calculate the differential demodulation spectrum: based on the narrowband demodulation spectrum γ of the baseline signal. H (α) and the narrowband demodulation spectrum γ of the signal to be diagnosed F (α), calculate the differential demodulation spectrum γ diff (α):

[0092]

[0093] Among them, ||·|| L1 represents the L1 norm of the matrix; c represents the separation factor, and adjusting its value can achieve positive and negative separation of fault-causing factors and basic components.

[0094] S32. Determine the spectral ratio. If the spectral ratio is greater than 1, execute c = 0.9c and return to execute step S31 again. If the spectral ratio is less than 1, execute c = 1.1c and return to execute step S31 again. If the spectral ratio is equal to 1, execute step S33.

[0095] The Spectral Ratio is defined as follows:

[0096]

[0097] Wherein, min(γ) diff (α)) and max(γ) diff (α) represents the differential demodulation spectrum γ. diff The minimum and maximum values ​​of (α).

[0098] The differential demodulation spectrum calculated by the above algorithm ensures that the absolute amplitudes of the fundamental components and fault-inducing factors are approximately equal. Negative values ​​in the spectrum represent the fundamental components, and positive values ​​represent the fault-inducing factors.

[0099] S33, Based on differential demodulation spectral modulation γ diff (α), the cyclic spectrum coherence function γ of the acoustic emission signal x(t) to be diagnosed is separated. x Fault-inducing factors for each spectral frequency component in (α,f), obtaining the differential spectral coherence matrix:

[0100]

[0101] Max(·,·) represents taking the maximum value of the corresponding elements of the two vectors, which is intended to remove the basic components in the differential demodulation spectrum.

[0102] S4. Based on the spectral frequency weight redistribution vector and the differential spectral coherence matrix, obtain the bidirectional reweighted differential spectral coherence matrix.

[0103] The spectral frequency weight redistribution vector R obtained in step S2 represents the frequency band rich in fault-introduced information.

[0104] The spectral frequency weight redistribution vector R is used as the differential spectral coherence matrix CSCoh. diff The re-integration strategy yields the bidirectional reweighted differential spectral coherence matrix (DRD):

[0105] DRD=(R×(CSCoh diff ) T ) T (9)

[0106] in,(·) T This represents the transpose of a matrix.

[0107] Acoustic emission technology features a wideband response, with sampling frequencies typically set at the MHz level. On one hand, the spectral frequency weighting redistribution vector ensures the effective synchronous extraction of fault information components across multiple frequency bands. On the other hand, differential demodulation spectrum retention preserves fault-inducing components in the acoustic emission signal and suppresses fundamental components that persist throughout the monitoring process. Positive values ​​represent fault-inducing components, while zero values ​​represent fundamental components, i.e., inherent components. Fault-inducing components refer to signal components introduced by the degradation of mechanical rotating parts, while inherent components refer to signal components generated by mechanical rotating parts in a healthy state.

[0108] S5. Based on the bidirectional reweighted differential spectral coherence matrix, fault feature components of mechanical rotating parts are obtained, and faults of mechanical rotating parts are analyzed. Specifically, for the bidirectional reweighted differential spectral coherence matrix, the spectral frequency direction is integrated to form the corresponding envelope spectrum. Fault feature components are searched in the enhanced envelope spectrum to determine the faults of mechanical rotating parts. This method can accurately identify various types of damage, such as tooth wear, tooth cracks, and bearing inner and outer ring faults.

[0109] In one specific embodiment, the method proposed in this invention is applied to a planetary gearbox fault diagnosis embodiment for verification.

[0110] Take a test bench for a certain mechanical transmission system as an example. Figure 2 As shown, the test bench includes a drive motor 1, several couplings 2, a speed and torque measurement module 3, a parallel shaft gearbox 4, an input shaft support module 5, an input shaft speed measurement module 6, a planetary gearbox 7, an acoustic emission sensor 8, an output shaft speed measurement module 9, an output shaft support module 10, and a magnetic powder brake 11. The drive motor 1 has a rated voltage of 380V, a rated power of 3kW, a rated speed of 3000rpm, and a rated torque of 9.55N·m. The couplings 2, input shaft support module 5, and output shaft support module 10 play a crucial connecting and supporting role in the test bench. The speed and torque measurement module 3 is configured to monitor the actual speed and torque values ​​of the drive motor 1. The parallel shaft gearbox 4 serves as the first-stage reduction device in the transmission system, and the planetary gearbox 7 is the second-stage reduction device. The input shaft speed measurement module 6 and the output shaft speed measurement module 9 are used to accurately measure the actual input and output speeds of the planetary gearbox 7, respectively. Furthermore, the acoustic emission sensor 8 is used to collect acoustic emission signals during the test process for fault diagnosis. The magnetic powder brake 11 provides the necessary output load for the entire transmission system.

[0111] In one specific embodiment, the parallel shaft gearbox 4 has a reduction ratio of 1:3.9, the planetary gearbox 7 has a reduction ratio of 1:5, the sun gear has 21 teeth, the planet gears have 31 teeth, and the external ring gear has 84 teeth. The power flow direction is with the sun gear shaft as the input and the planet carrier shaft as the output. A weak fault is implanted into the planet gear tooth surface to simulate its degradation process. The acoustic emission sampling frequency is set to 2MHz, and the preamplifier is selected as 40dB. According to the kinematic model of this mechanical transmission system, the characteristic order of the planetary gear fault is calculated to be 0.139. In the experiment, the motor input speed is set to 3000rpm, the load level is maintained at about 20%, corresponding to a planetary gearbox input speed of 12.82Hz, and the characteristic frequency of the planetary gear fault is 6.95Hz. The acquired acoustic emission waveform of the planetary gearbox during healthy operation is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the acoustic emission waveform during a minor fault in the planetary gear is as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0112] To demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method, a traditional 1 / 3-binary tree strategy is first used to determine the frequency partitioning strategy of different layers of the signal to form a feature matrix. Then, the ratio of the feature matrices of the fault signal and the healthy signal is calculated to form a spectral kurtosis ratio map, highlighting the kurtosis difference between the signal to be diagnosed and the baseline signal. The spectral kurtosis ratio map feature matrix is ​​shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the preferred frequency band has a center frequency of 812,500 Hz and a bandwidth of 41,667 Hz. However, the spectral kurtosis ratio map has limited performance in extracting fault features in this embodiment, based on its guided envelope spectrum. Figure 6 The fault characteristics were almost impossible to identify, and the fault was not detected at the characteristic frequency f corresponding to the planetary gear fault. p The frequency peaks of the fault signal and its harmonics have extremely low signal-to-noise ratios, making it difficult to directly diagnose the fault type of the equipment. Next, the cyclic spectrum coherence matrix of the fault signal is calculated, as follows: Figure 7 As shown, an enhanced envelope spectrum is obtained by applying an integration strategy across its entire frequency band, as follows. Figure 8 As shown. Although the enhanced envelope spectrum contains some fault information, the characteristic frequency f corresponding to the planetary gear fault is... p The frequency peaks of its harmonics are relatively inconspicuous, and directly identifying this weak fault remains challenging in the absence of prior fault characteristic frequencies. Finally, to more effectively identify weak faults, the bidirectional reweighted cyclostationary analysis method proposed in this invention is used. Figure 9 A histogram of the weight redistribution vector used for bidirectional reweighted difference operation is presented. Based on this, the envelope spectrum guided by this method is obtained through envelope analysis. Figure 10 Although the envelope spectrum appears complex due to the weakness of the fault, the five spectral lines with the highest identified peaks successfully contained the fault characteristic frequencies and their harmonic components, verifying the effectiveness of the proposed method in weak fault extraction.

[0113] In another specific embodiment, the harmonic reducer fails after long-term use, exhibiting three failure modes: gear tooth wear, wear of the inner wall of the flex wheel, and fatigue cracking of the flexible thin-walled bearing in the wave generator. The acoustic emission signals collected during component degradation are analyzed, and the acoustic emission waveforms of the harmonic reducer during healthy operation are as follows: Figure 11 As shown, the acoustic emission waveform before final failure is as follows: Figure 12 As shown. First, the spectral kurtosis ratio plot is used to guide the signal processing process, and its feature matrix is ​​as follows. Figure 13 As shown, the preferred frequency band has a center frequency of 104167Hz and a bandwidth of 41667Hz. However, the spectral kurtosis ratio map performs limitedly in extracting fault features in this embodiment, although it guides the extraction of envelope spectrum. Figure 14 In the process, the 2x rotational frequency f caused by gear tooth wear and wear of the inner wall of the flexible gear rIts harmonics can be clearly shown, but the fault characteristic frequency f corresponding to the outer ring of the flexible thin-walled bearing in the wave generator is... or The spectral lines at that location are quite weak, making it difficult to conclude that a fault has occurred. Next, this method calculates the cyclic spectral coherence matrix of the fault signal, as shown below. Figure 15 As shown, an enhanced envelope spectrum is obtained by applying an integration strategy across its entire frequency band, as follows. Figure 16 As shown, its diagnostic effect is similar to that of the method based on spectral kurtosis ratio, but the extraction of fault features corresponding to the outer ring of the flexible thin-walled bearing in the signal is still not ideal. Figure 17 A histogram of the weight redistribution vector used for bidirectional reweighted difference operation is presented. Based on this, the envelope spectrum guided by this method is obtained through envelope analysis. Figure 18 It can not only identify the 2x rotational frequency f caused by two uniform wear phenomena r Furthermore, it can identify the fault characteristic frequency f of the outer ring of flexible thin-walled bearings. or It can accurately identify all three types of faults, ensuring comprehensive capture and accurate identification of fault information.

[0114] This invention presents a method for diagnosing acoustic emission faults in rotating mechanical components based on bidirectional weighted cyclostationarity. By analyzing the characteristics of acoustic emission monitoring signals, it integrates healthy baseline data as prior information into a cyclostationar analysis framework, effectively extracting fault feature components and improving the accuracy of fault diagnosis. It innovatively combines differential and weighted approaches, performing dual optimization on the cyclospectral coherence feature plane. On one hand, it utilizes the maximum mean difference to measure the distribution difference between the healthy reference and the signal to be diagnosed, achieving precise reweighting in the spectral frequency direction. On the other hand, through differential processing at the cyclospectral frequency, it significantly enhances the diagnostic capability of the one-dimensional mapping after integration along the spectral frequency, further improving the sensitivity of fault identification. To comprehensively evaluate the performance of the proposed method, it can be verified using various acoustic emission monitoring signals from rotating mechanical components, such as planetary gearbox fault cases and rolling bearing fault cases, fully demonstrating the proposed method's ability to monitor the state and diagnose faults in various types of rotating component acoustic emission monitoring signals. The proposed method deeply explores the unique advantages and potential of acoustic emission technology in the field of fault diagnosis, achieving high-precision monitoring and fault diagnosis of the state of various rotating mechanical components, fully meeting the needs of complex and ever-changing industrial application scenarios.
