Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bearing life prediction, and specifically to a bearing life prediction system constructed based on health indicators. Background Art
[0002] A bearing is a precision component used to support a rotating shaft of a machine. A bearing consists of an inner ring, an outer ring, rolling elements, a cage, etc. The main function of a bearing is to bear axial and radial loads, and at the same time reduce friction and resistance to ensure the smooth operation of mechanical equipment. Bearings play a crucial role in various industrial fields, such as automotive, aviation, aerospace, construction, manufacturing, etc. As a key basic component for mechanical operation, bearings are of great significance for ensuring the smooth operation of mechanical equipment. With the continuous development of technology, the types and performance of bearings are also constantly improving, providing strong support for the technological progress of various industrial fields. According to the structural characteristics and working principles of bearings, bearings are divided into several categories, such as sliding bearings, rolling bearings, spherical roller bearings, angular contact ball bearings, tapered roller bearings, spherical plain bearings, and magnetic bearings. Wear will occur when there is friction in a bearing, and the performance state of the bearing directly affects the operating efficiency and safety of the entire equipment. Therefore, fault detection and life prediction of bearings are of great significance for improving the operating reliability of equipment, reducing maintenance costs, and avoiding potential economic losses and personnel safety hazards. With the proposal of the concept of Prognostics and Health Management (PHM), the operation and maintenance strategy of rotating equipment has gradually changed from passive maintenance to active prediction. It can not only give early warnings of potential fault risks, but also optimize the use and maintenance strategies of equipment according to the prediction results, further improving the use efficiency and life of the equipment. Bearing fault detection and life prediction play a crucial role in modern industrial production. They can not only ensure the normal operation of equipment, but also save a large amount of maintenance and replacement costs for enterprises. During the operation of a bearing, vibrations will be generated, and these vibration signals contain a large amount of information about the bearing state. A widely used detection method is to measure these vibration parameters, such as vibration acceleration values and envelope values, to judge whether the working state of the bearing is normal. The vibration signals of the bearing are collected by vibration sensors. After the signals are denoised, feature extraction and analysis are performed on them to diagnose potential problems of the bearing, thereby predicting its remaining life and providing data support for further improving the bearing life.
[0003] Currently, due to factors such as bearing type and working environment, the accuracy of the predicted life results of traditional bearing life prediction systems is not stable enough. In actual use, in high-altitude areas, the atmospheric pressure is low, which causes the evaporation rate of lubricating oil to accelerate, thereby affecting the service life of the bearing. It is necessary to manually inspect a large number of bearings in sequence to judge the degree of wear and replace them in time to ensure the normal operation of the machine and extend the service life of the bearing. The labor intensity is high and it is easy to miss or make mistakes. Summary of the Invention
