Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bearing degradation state monitoring, and more particularly, to a method for evaluating the degradation state of a bearing cage based on digital-physical interaction. Background Art

[0002] As an important basic component of rotating machinery, the health status of rolling bearings directly affects the stable operation of equipment. Due to its long-term service under complex conditions, bearings are prone to cracks and eventually fail as the cracks expand. Therefore, accurately evaluating the degradation stage of bearing faults can provide early warnings for equipment and avoid sudden shutdowns of the transmission system. This is of great significance for the health management of rotating machinery. Currently, most studies are based on the degradation process of the outer ring of the bearing. As one of the important components of the bearing, the cage is more likely to fail due to its thinner structure and manufacturing materials compared to the inner ring, outer ring, and rolling elements, and it often shows instantaneous fracture. Therefore, accurately evaluating the current state of the bearing cage is of great significance for extending the service life of mechanical equipment and improving its reliability.

[0003] In recent years, deep learning technology has been widely used in the field of rotating machinery fault diagnosis due to its advantage of being able to adaptively process high-dimensional and complex data. However, most current bearing intelligent diagnosis methods based on deep learning are proposed under the premise of having sufficient and high-quality data samples. In engineering practice, the frequency of equipment failures is low, and collecting a large number of fault samples requires a large amount of cost and time. Therefore, when the available samples are scarce, these intelligent diagnosis methods will face the risk of failure. With the digital transformation and intelligent development in the industrial field, the emergence and rapid rise of digital twin technology provide a possibility to solve this challenge. Summary of the Invention

Introduce the SE attention mechanism into the encoder and decoder, dynamically adjust the channel weights by learning the relationships between features, enabling the model to focus on the features with the greatest contribution, thereby enhancing the feature learning effect of the model and reducing the distortion phenomenon during the signal generation process.

[0091] In specific implementation, as a preferred implementation manner of the present invention, step S2 specifically includes:

[0092] S21. When the bearing cage breaks, the clearance of the cage pocket for the balls at the break will become larger, so the balls will deviate from the original position. As Figure 2 shown, so the method of the present invention introduces an additional position angle θ f at the offset ball to simulate the cage breakage fault, as follows:

[0093]

[0094] Among them, θ 1 is the initial position angle of the No. 1 ball of the bearing, ω r is the inner - ring rotation angular velocity, r b and R b respectively represent the inner and outer - ring raceway radii of the bearing, and N b is the number of bearing balls;

[0095] S22. Based on the Hertz contact theory, considering the bearing housing clearance and the cage fracture fault, the 5-degree-of-freedom nonlinear bearing force at the i-th node of the rotor is expressed as follows:

[0096]

[0097] Among them, α j represents the pressure angle of the j-th ball, and δ j represents the contact deformation between the j-th ball and the raceway. H(δ j ) is the Heaviside function, and k bj is the Hertz contact stiffness of the j-th ball;

[0098] S23. Using the finite element method and the lumped mass method, establish a system dynamics model and establish the dynamic equation of the rotor-bearing system as follows:

[0099]

[0100] Among them, M RS , C RS , J RS , K RS are the mass matrix, damping matrix, gyro matrix, and stiffness matrix of the rotating shaft respectively; M SS and J SS are the mass matrix and gyro matrix of the bearing sleeve respectively; F b represents the restoring force vector of the rolling bearing; F u represents the rotor unbalance force vector; F r represents the external load vector; G represents the rotor gravity vector;

[0102] S25. Characterize the cage degradation process by changing the additional position angle θ f . By comparing the simulation signal and the real experimental signal, it is found that when θ f ∈[0°, 4°], the simulation signal and the real signal match well.

[0103] In specific implementation, as a preferred implementation manner of the present invention, it is characterized in that in step S3, the real signal collected in step S1 is used as the label data, and the simulation signal obtained in step S2 is used as the training data of the SECycleGAN model for correction to make its feature distribution, specifically including:

[0104] S31. Through the adversarial loss function L GAN, perform adversarial training on the generator and discriminator in the CycleGAN model as follows:

[0105]

[0106] Among them, L GAN is the adversarial loss, represents the expectation that the actual signal follows the actual physical domain distribution, represents the expectation that the simulation signal follows the simulation domain distribution;

[0107] S32. Introduce a cyclic consistency loss in the CycleGAN model to ensure the consistency between the generated signal and the target domain signal. The loss function is as follows:

[0108]

[0109] Among them, ||·|| 1 represents the L1 norm;

[0110] S33. Optimize and fine-tune the generator G and the discriminator F by minimizing the total loss function as follows:

[0111] L total = L GAN (G, D p ) + L GAN (F, D q ) + λL cyc (G, F)

[0112] Among them, the coefficient λ controls the proportion of the cyclic consistency loss in the total loss;

[0113] S34. Introduce the SE attention mechanism in the encoder and decoder, dynamically adjust the channel weights by learning the relationship between features, enable the model to focus on the features with the greatest contribution, thereby enhancing the feature learning effect of the model and reducing the distortion phenomenon in the signal generation process.

[0114] Specifically in implementation, as a preferred implementation manner of the present invention, step S4 specifically includes:

[0115] S41. Perform a simple linear transformation on the input signal and map the signal sequence to a high-dimensional embedding space as follows:

[0116]

[0117] Among them, dim represents the dimension of the time series embedding, and W embedding represents a learnable matrix;

[0118] S42. A randomly initialized trainable embedding Is added to the beginning of the embedded token sequence to aggregate the information of each part as follows:

[0119]

[0120] S43. Use learnable positional encoding Extract positional information more flexibly, add positional encoding and token embedding to obtain input embedding as follows:

[0121]

[0122] Among them, Represents positional embedding, Represents Patch sequence;

[0123] S44. Perform multi-scale feature extraction through SKnet, and the combination of the two models the semantic information of the fault signal more comprehensively, thereby improving the diagnostic accuracy and generalization performance of the model;

[0124] S45. For the input embedding, transform the input feature map through a convolutional kernel;

[0125] S46. Implement feature fusion of different branches by element-wise summation of the above feature maps, and then generate statistical features in the channel direction through global average pooling operation To embed global information, and then build a more compact feature through a fully connected layer To achieve model adaptive selection, specifically as follows:

[0126] U = U + U

[0127]

[0128] d = max(C / r, 16)

[0129] Among them, σ represents the ReLU activation function, Represents batch normalization, r represents the reduction rate;

[0130] S47. As Figure 3 Shown, through the cross-channel soft attention mechanism, adaptively select information of different spatial scales, and obtain the final feature map by superimposing the attention weights on convolutional kernels of different sizes As follows:

[0131]

[0132] a c + b c = 1

[0133] Among them, a c and b c respectively represent the soft attention vectors of U c and U c , respectively.

[0134] S48. Through linear transformation, a group of feature maps with d model dimensions output by SKnet are respectively converted into keys K, values V, and queries Q with d dimensions, and the multi-head self-attention mechanism is executed, as Figure 4 shown;

[0135] S49. The features are passed into a multi-layer perceptron, and the probability values of each fault category are obtained through the Softmax function, and the final fault category is obtained according to the maximum probability value.

[0136] Figure 5 shows the comparison between the simulated signals generated by the SECycleGAN model proposed by the present invention and the measured signals. It can be seen that the generated signals maintain almost the same degradation trend as the original signals, but there is an upward shift trend in the healthy stage. In addition, the probability distribution differences between the generated signals and the original signals at 3 time points are randomly analyzed, and the sampling interval is 1 s. It can be seen that there is a deviation trend in the generated signals at 3655 s, but the probability distribution shapes are still similar. The probability distribution curves at 3678 s and 3683 s coincide highly, further illustrating the effectiveness of the generated signals.

[0137] To prove the superiority of the SECycleGAN proposed by the present invention, comparisons are made with the WGAN, DCGAN, and ACGAN models. Here, the Pearson correlation coefficient is used to measure the similarity between the generated signals and the measured signals. The generated signals are evenly divided into 9 segments, Figure 6 showing the Pearson correlation coefficients between each segment of the signals of different models and the original signals. It can be seen that the model proposed by the present invention achieves the optimal diagnostic accuracy in most signal segments, and the average Pearson correlation coefficient is 0.9826, which is better than other methods.

[0138] Figure 7 is the comparison of the time-domain waveforms and envelope spectrograms of the generated signals and the actual signals at 3662 s - 3663 s and 3685 s - 3686 s. It can be seen that the envelope spectrum frequency components of the vibration signals at 3662 s - 3663 s mainly consist of the rotation frequency f r and its multiple frequencies nf r , the rolling bearing variable compliance vibration frequency f vc , and the combined frequency components of f r and the cage frequency f c , i.e., f r ±f cComposition. After the cage breaks down, f r and f vc The related frequency components are gradually overwhelmed by strong noise, and the vibration frequency is mainly the rotation frequency of the cage and its high-order harmonic frequency components nf c dominates, and the frequency amplitude increases significantly, rising from 0.2 m / s 2 to 25 m / s 2 . In addition, through comparison, it is found that the frequency components of the simulated signal corrected by SECycleGAN are highly consistent with the characteristic frequencies of the actual degradation signal, which confirms the potential of SECycleGAN in effectively correcting simulated signals.

[0139] Figure 8 is the evaluation result of the SKformer for the degradation stage of the bearing cage. The models proposed in the present invention have the highest diagnostic accuracies of 98.27% and 97.76% respectively under different numbers of data sets, and the standard deviations are significantly lower than those of other models. By comparing with the Transformer model, it is found that the accuracy of the model with the SK module network increases by about 3%. This is because SKnet can adaptively select the appropriate convolution kernel size according to the input signal, so that the model can better adapt to the characteristics in different scenarios, thereby improving the model's ability to recognize the complex characteristics of fault signals. The diagnostic accuracies of the two DANN and CDAN models with domain transfer modules are both about 90%. The diagnostic accuracy of the WDCNN model is the lowest, and the average diagnostic accuracy on the two data sets is lower than 80%.

[0140] Figure 9 are the confusion matrix results of different models. It can be seen that the method proposed in the present invention achieves 100% recognition accuracy only for the samples in the 1st and 4th stages. There is only a small amount of confusion in the 2nd and 3rd stages, but the diagnostic accuracy still exceeds 95%. DANN and CDAN mainly tend to predict the samples in the 3rd stage as the 2nd stage, and the diagnostic accuracies in the 3rd stage are 51% and 62% respectively. WDCNN shows misclassification to varying degrees in all categories, especially the recognition rate in the fourth stage is only 63%.

[0141] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
