Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method and system for diagnosing minor damage in tapered roller bearings, belonging to the fields of fault diagnosis technology and signal processing and analysis technology. Background Technology

[0002] Tapered roller bearings, capable of withstanding both radial and axial loads, are widely used in the support systems of various rotating machinery. Failure in these bearings can severely impact the safe operation of the equipment. For raceway spalling failures in tapered roller bearings, classic methods such as envelope analysis can be used for effective diagnosis. However, in the early stages of raceway failure, the fault often manifests as non-through, localized spalling, with weak vibration signals, making direct diagnosis using classic methods difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to develop diagnostic methods for weak damage in tapered roller bearings.

[0003] Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) is an effective time-frequency analysis tool capable of clearly decomposing signals and extracting spectral features, thus intuitively revealing potential anomalous components. However, STFT faces the challenge of choosing the right window length when extracting weak anomalous features. Meanwhile, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), as powerful deep learning models, are particularly well-suited for processing image data, automatically learning different types of features and improving detection accuracy and efficiency. However, CNNs also encounter the challenge of incomplete feature extraction in fault diagnosis. To address these issues, improving the feature representation of signals and the extraction of intrinsic features is crucial for accurately assessing the condition of tapered roller bearings. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Step 3: Construct a generative adversarial network model. Train the model based on the acceleration vibration signal image sample set obtained in Step 2. Then use the trained model to generate a two-dimensional time-frequency image of the acceleration vibration signal of the second tapered roller bearing, which serves as an expanded image sample set of acceleration vibration signal.

[0010] Step 4: Merge the augmented image sample set of acceleration vibration signals into the image sample set of acceleration vibration signals to obtain a mixed sample set of acceleration vibration signals; preset the training, testing and validation ratios, and divide the mixed sample set of acceleration vibration signals into a training set, a test set and a validation set;

[0013] Step 7: Input the time-frequency images of the test set / tapered roller bearing to be diagnosed obtained in Step 4 into the trained tapered roller bearing weak damage identification model obtained in Step 6 for testing / diagnosis.

[0014] Furthermore, the states in the accelerator vibration signal data set under different states are divided into five categories: single-point center damage, through-damage, circumferential edge damage, circumferential center damage, and normal.

[0015] Furthermore, step 2 specifically includes:

The resolution of the generated samples is equal to the image resolution in the acceleration vibration signal image sample set from step 2. The generator loss function Loss1 is calculated as follows:

[0029]

[0034] Furthermore, the tapered roller bearing weak damage identification model includes multiple convolutional layers, multiple activation layers, multiple pooling layers, one dropout layer, multiple attention mechanism layers, and a fully connected layer. The time-frequency image is used as input, and after feature extraction by the first convolutional module, feature extraction is performed through three structurally identical branches. Each branch consists of a second convolutional module, a third convolutional module, and an attention mechanism layer connected sequentially. Multi-scale feature extraction is achieved through these three branches. The outputs of the three branches are then fused, passed through dropout layers and fully connected layers, and finally processed using the Softmax function to obtain the classification output. Each of the first, second, and third convolutional modules consists of one convolutional layer, one activation layer, and one pooling layer.

[0037] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Addressing the problem that traditional methods rely on expert identification of abnormal features, resulting in diagnostic results influenced by prior knowledge, this invention proposes a short-time Fourier transform with dynamically varying window lengths to obtain two-dimensional time-frequency images.

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0046] Example 1: As Figure 1-7 As shown, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a method for diagnosing minor damage to tapered roller bearings is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0047] Step 1: Collect acceleration vibration signals of tapered roller bearings and construct accelerator vibration signal datasets under different conditions;

[0048] Step 2: Extract time-frequency features from the vibration signal based on the short-time Fourier transform with a dynamically changing window length, and obtain two-dimensional time-frequency images of the acceleration vibration signal of the first tapered roller bearing under different states to obtain an acceleration vibration signal image sample set;

[0049] Step 3: Construct a generative adversarial network model. Train the model based on the acceleration vibration signal image sample set obtained in Step 2. Then use the trained model to generate a two-dimensional time-frequency image of the acceleration vibration signal of the second tapered roller bearing, which serves as an expanded image sample set of acceleration vibration signal.

[0050] Step 4: Merge the augmented image sample set of acceleration vibration signals into the image sample set of acceleration vibration signals to obtain a mixed sample set of acceleration vibration signals; preset the training, testing and validation ratios, and divide the mixed sample set of acceleration vibration signals into a training set, a testing set and a validation set;

[0051] Step 5: Construct a weak damage identification model for tapered roller bearings for classification and identification;

[0052] Step 6: Input the training set obtained in Step 4 into the tapered roller bearing weak damage identification model constructed in Step 5 for training, and then perform hyperparameter adjustment based on the results of the validation set to obtain the trained tapered roller bearing weak damage identification model.

[0053] Step 7: Input the test set / time-frequency image of the tapered roller bearing to be diagnosed obtained in Step 4 into the trained tapered roller bearing weak damage identification model obtained in Step 6 for testing / diagnosis. That is, input the test set obtained in Step 4 into the trained tapered roller bearing weak damage identification model obtained in Step 6 for testing, or input the time-frequency image of the tapered roller bearing to be diagnosed into the trained tapered roller bearing weak damage identification model obtained in Step 6 for diagnosis.

[0054] Furthermore, the states in the accelerator vibration signal data set under different states are divided into five categories: single-point center damage, through-damage, circumferential edge damage, circumferential center damage, and normal.

[0055] Furthermore, step 2 specifically includes:

[0056] For the acceleration vibration signal sample x in the accelerator vibration signal dataset under different states constructed in step 1, the data is divided into segments according to the dynamically changing window length to obtain multiple short-time frame signals. The nth short-time frame signal X nThe expression is: X n =x n ·w(t), where w(t) is the window function and n is the index of the time frame; x n This is the nth data segment;

[0057] Perform a Fast Fourier Transform on each short time frame signal to obtain the corresponding spectrum; combine the spectrum results of all frames to obtain a two-dimensional time-frequency image of the acceleration vibration signal of the first tapered roller bearing.

[0058] Furthermore, the initial window length is set to L1, and when n>1, the window length L is dynamically adjusted according to the energy distribution. n The rules are as follows:

[0059] If E(n-1) > E high Set window length L n =L min Where n>1;

[0060] If E(n-1) <E low Set window length L n =L max Where n>1;

[0061] If E low ≤E(t)≤E high The window length is linearly interpolated based on the energy.

[0062]

[0063] In the formula, E hgih E low These represent the maximum and minimum preset energy threshold values, respectively; L max L min These represent the maximum and minimum values ​​of the preset sliding window length threshold, respectively;

[0064] Furthermore, the expression for the energy is as follows:

[0065]

[0066] Among them, L n Let L1 be the window length of the nth short-time frame signal, and L1 be the given initial window length; x n (i) represents the i-th data point in the n-th data segment; it should be noted that if the remaining data points are insufficient to divide a short time frame signal based on the window length, they are directly discarded.

[0067] Furthermore, step 3 specifically includes:

[0068] Construct a generative adversarial network model, wherein the constructed generative adversarial network model includes a generator and a discriminator;

[0069] The parameters of the generative adversarial network (GAN) model are adjusted according to the image resolution. When the resolution of the two-dimensional time-frequency image of the acceleration vibration signal of the first tapered roller bearing is greater than 512×512, the parameters of the generator and discriminator in the GAN model are increased based on their default values; otherwise, the parameters of the generator and discriminator in the GAN model are decreased based on their default values. In this embodiment of the invention, the resolution of the two-dimensional time-frequency image of the acceleration vibration signal of the first tapered roller bearing is 224×224, and the parameters of the first convolutional layer of the generator and discriminator are decreased, specifically: the convolutional kernel size is 7*7 (the default value is 9*9); for example, the increased value can be 13*13.

[0070] The established model is trained based on the acceleration vibration signal image sample set obtained in step 2, and then the trained model is used to generate a two-dimensional time-frequency image of the acceleration vibration signal of the second tapered roller bearing, which serves as an expanded image sample set of acceleration vibration signal.

[0071] Furthermore, the generator employs four convolutional layers with a training stride of 1 to 2. The resolution of the generated samples is equal to the image resolution in the acceleration vibration signal image sample set from step 2. The generator loss function is calculated using the following formula:

[0072]

[0073] In the formula, N is the number of samples in each training iteration (in this embodiment of the invention, the batch size is set to 64), p j Let D represent the j-th original sample in each training iteration, and let D denote the discriminator. D(p) j ) represents the original sample p j The closer the probability of it being true is to 1, the better.

[0074] The discriminator loss function is calculated using the following formula:

[0075]

[0076] In the formula, p j Let y represent the j-th original sample in each training iteration. j For the j-th generated sample generated by the generator each time it is trained, D(y) j ) represents the probability that the generated sample is fake, and λ represents the hyperparameter controlling the strength of the gradient penalty. In this invention, it is set to 10, and This represents the value of the gradient penalty. p j and yj The uniform sampling is calculated as follows: ε is obtained by random sampling from the uniform distribution Uniform(0,1). express L2 norm, For the discriminator pair The gradient of the output result.

[0077] Through simulation experiments, the similarity between the images in the augmented image sample set generated after training with a traditional adversarial generative network model and the original images was compared. This invention introduces the aforementioned loss function to train the generative adversarial network based on parameter adjustment, which can ensure that the images in the augmented image sample set generated by the model after image sample training have a higher similarity to the original images, thereby making the augmented samples more realistic.

[0078] For example, the preset training, testing, and verification ratio is 8:1:1.

[0079] Furthermore, the tapered roller bearing weak damage identification model includes multiple convolutional layers, multiple activation layers, multiple pooling layers, one dropout layer, multiple attention mechanism layers, and a fully connected layer (i.e., 7 convolutional layers, activation layers, pooling layers, and 3 attention mechanism layers). The time-frequency image is used as input, and after feature extraction by the first convolutional module, feature extraction is performed through three structurally identical branches. Each branch consists of a second convolutional module, a third convolutional module, and an attention mechanism layer connected sequentially. Multi-scale feature extraction is achieved through these three branches. The outputs of the three branches are fused, then passed through a dropout layer and a fully connected layer, and finally the softmax function is used to obtain the classification output. Each of the first, second, and third convolutional modules consists of one convolutional layer, one activation layer, and one pooling layer.

[0080] In the above, the activation layer uses the ReLU activation function; the training stride of the convolutional and pooling layers is set to 2 to improve the data dimensionality reduction speed and reduce the model training time. Furthermore, the attention mechanism layer adopts a channel-first attention mechanism. Compared to the channel-first attention mechanism, the channel-first attention mechanism can support the dynamic distribution of attention weights in both channel and spatial dimensions, thereby improving the model's recognition efficiency.

[0081] Based on the results of each training and testing iteration, the parameters of the tapered roller bearing weak damage identification model were optimized. A decaying learning rate was set to adaptively adjust the step size, thereby optimizing the training results. The momentum optimizer Adam was used to accelerate the convergence process of the convolutional neural network model and reduce oscillations. L2 regularization was added to the loss function. Where loss data The value of the cross-entropy loss function. The regularization coefficient is 10 in this invention. -5, ∑ w w 2 This represents the sum of squares of all weights, which helps to improve the overfitting problem that occurs during model training and obtain the optimal model parameters.

[0082] Furthermore, in step 7, the trained tapered roller bearing weak damage identification model obtained in step 6 is evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score as evaluation indicators.

[0087] 2) Based on the short-time Fourier transform with a dynamically changing window length, time-frequency features of the vibration signal are extracted to obtain two-dimensional time-frequency images of the acceleration vibration signal of the first tapered roller bearing under different states, thus obtaining an acceleration vibration signal image sample set; the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) conversion method is as follows: Figure 2 ( Figure 2 The bottom shows four random short-time Fourier transforms; this step yields 50 two-dimensional time-frequency images as a sample set of acceleration vibration signal images; such as Figure 6 The two-dimensional time-frequency RGB images under different states are further shown after short-time Fourier transform with dynamically varying window lengths.
