Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of compressor fault diagnosis, and in particular to a compressor fault diagnosis method and system based on multi-sensor fusion. Background Art

[0002] Compressors are key equipment in many industrial fields, and their normal operation is crucial to the production process. However, due to long-term operation and the influence of various external factors, compressors are prone to various faults, such as mechanical wear, gas blockage, electrical failure, cooling failure, lubrication failure, etc. Traditional fault diagnosis methods mainly rely on data from a single sensor, such as a vibration sensor or a temperature sensor. This method can often only detect the appearance of equipment vibration and temperature trend changes under complex working conditions, and it is difficult to accurately identify the fault type and location, and it is impossible to determine the root cause of the fault. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a fault diagnosis method that can integrate data from multiple sensors.

[0003] The patent with the authorization announcement number "CN115596654B" discloses a reciprocating compressor fault diagnosis method and system based on state parameter learning. In the technical solution of this patent, it includes building a BP neural network; extracting the input parameters and output parameters in the historical operating data of the reciprocating compressor under normal conditions as training samples, and pre-training the BP neural network; predicting and calculating the input parameters in the training samples through the pre-trained BP neural network, obtaining the benchmark deviation between the predicted value and the actual value, and setting the safety threshold range using the benchmark deviation; extracting the input parameters in the current operating data of the reciprocating compressor as the input parameters of the BP neural network, and obtaining the predicted value of the output parameter; calculating the relative deviation between the predicted value and the measured value of the output parameter, and comparing it with the safety threshold range. If it exceeds the safety threshold range, it is considered that the reciprocating compressor is in a faulty state, and the fault is located according to the change of the relative deviation, and a fault diagnosis result is given. In the technical solution disclosed in this patent document, only the sample data of the normal state is considered when establishing the neural network model, and only the state parameters exceeding the safety threshold range are judged for faults. Its compressor fault detection method has the following shortcomings: ① Single state parameter data cannot fully reflect the operating status of the compressor, especially when individual state parameters change in the early stage of the fault, there is a lack of fault analysis capability; ② It only feeds back abnormal changes in individual state parameters (such as vibration, temperature, etc.) during the fault occurrence stage, and the corresponding identification of fault type, location and root cause is not accurate enough; ③ Fault analysis relies on preset conditions, lacks judgment of time series in actual situations, and has poor adaptability to complex working conditions.

Collect a large amount of equipment operation data, including normal operation data and fault data, and label these data, distinguish normal data from fault data, label the fault type and location, and use the labeled data to train the established model.
