Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent sensing and vibration anomaly detection, and particularly to a foam-based thermally insulating triboelectric material, a preparation method, a sensor, and a fault detection method. Background Art

[0002] As an emerging energy harvesting and self-powered sensing technology, triboelectric nanogenerators have shown great potential in the field of mechanical vibration monitoring due to their simple structure, flexible material selection, and strong environmental adaptability. However, the triboelectric layer materials of traditional triboelectric nanogenerators have significant limitations in high-temperature environments. For example, the extreme high temperatures (usually exceeding 100 °C) generated during the operation of industrial equipment such as engines can cause thermal degradation of conventional polymer-based triboelectric materials (such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)), resulting in a sharp decline or even failure of the electrical output performance. In addition, existing triboelectric nanogenerator sensors generally suffer from insufficient sensitivity and narrow dynamic response range in high-temperature vibration detection, making it difficult to accurately capture the characteristics of complex vibration signals and limiting their application in high-precision scenarios such as engine and compressor fault diagnosis.

[0003] Currently, the improvement research on triboelectric nanogenerators for high-temperature environments mainly focuses on the development of heat-resistant materials. For example, using ceramic fibers to reinforce the triboelectric nanogenerator structure improves the heat resistance, but the high rigidity of the material reduces the vibration sensing sensitivity. In addition, existing engine vibration monitoring systems mostly rely on piezoelectric sensors or accelerometers. Such devices require external power supply and have limited high-temperature resistance (such as piezoelectric ceramics being prone to polarization failure at 200 °C), and also lack the ability to classify multiple faults based on the dynamic range of vibration signals.

[0004] In terms of signal processing, traditional methods usually judge vibration anomalies through threshold methods. For example, there are various types of engine faults (such as bearing wear, piston imbalance, ignition anomaly, etc.), and a single threshold is difficult to distinguish complex fault modes. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a triboelectric nanogenerator sensor with high-temperature resistance, high output stability, and intelligent fault diagnosis ability to achieve efficient monitoring of engine vibration status. Summary of the Invention
