Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rotating machinery health monitoring, and in particular to a rolling bearing life prediction method based on planar vibration characteristics and degradation history. Background Art
[0002] Bearings are common, key components in mechanical devices. Composed of an inner ring, outer ring, rolling elements, and a cage, they reduce friction and support the weight of rotating machinery. High-performance bearings play a crucial role in major equipment and high-precision machinery. Therefore, improving the design and manufacturing capabilities of rolling bearings and refining their manufacturing processes have become pressing challenges for my country's bearing industry.
[0003] Rolling bearings, as core components of rotating machinery, are widely used in major equipment such as wind turbines, high-speed rail, and aircraft engines. Their reliability directly impacts the safe operation and service life of these equipment. However, under complex operating conditions such as high speed, variable load, and strong impact, bearing fatigue failure is one of the main causes of mechanical system failure. According to statistics, approximately 40% of rotating machinery failures are related to bearing failure, and sudden bearing failures can trigger a chain reaction, causing significant economic losses and even safety accidents. Currently, the lack of fault warning capabilities under non-stationary operating conditions such as variable speed and load has hindered the independent and controllable development of high-end equipment. Traditional bearing remaining life (RUL) prediction methods mainly rely on the time-frequency domain feature analysis of vibration signals, but have the following technical bottlenecks: unidirectional information limitation, existing methods mostly use vibration signals in a single direction (such as vertical acceleration), ignoring the correlation between load direction and fault evolution in plane vibration, resulting in insufficient extraction of early weak fault features; degradation modeling is one-sided, local feature extraction based on sliding windows is difficult to capture the degradation law of the entire life cycle, and traditional statistical features (such as RMS, kurtosis) have poor adaptability to variable speed conditions; physical mechanism is disconnected, and the data-driven model lacks the embedding of bearing fault mechanisms (such as the modulation relationship between the order of inner ring fault features and speed), and the generalization performance is significantly reduced under unknown working conditions.
[0004] The present application is compared with the prior art as follows:
[0005] Technical comparison with application CN202010178652 “Rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on computational order tracking and spectral kurtosis”;
[0006] 1. Patent application CN202010178652 proposes a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method for variable speed working conditions. Its core technology is to eliminate the influence of speed fluctuations through computational order tracking (COT). This method first uses the speed pulse signal to construct an angle-time quadratic equation (based on the uniform acceleration assumption), and uses cubic spline interpolation to achieve angular domain resampling, converting the non-stationary time domain signal into an angular domain stationary signal; combined with the spectral kurtosis algorithm, it dynamically locates the optimal demodulation frequency band (center frequency) of the impact fault. and bandwidth ) uses an elliptical filter to extract characteristic frequency bands, then performs envelope analysis. The resulting output is an order spectrum (e.g., 18 times the characteristic order of an inner race fault) to pinpoint the fault type under variable speed conditions. This solution's core value lies in resolving the "frequency ambiguity" issue inherent in traditional spectrum analysis. While suitable for dynamic operating conditions such as speed increases and decreases, it can only provide a qualitative assessment of the presence of a fault and cannot quantify remaining life or degradation trends.
[0007] 2. This application (rolling bearing life prediction method based on plane vibration characteristics and degradation history) has essential differences in technical objectives and architecture from CN202010178652: This patent focuses on quantitative prediction of remaining life (RUL) rather than qualitative diagnosis of faults, and belongs to a higher level of equipment health management; it innovatively proposes a dual-track system of plane vibration characteristics (PVF) and degradation history characteristics (DHF) - PVF extracts the main direction angle ( ) and ellipticity( ), integrating horizontal / vertical bidirectional vibration physical information to associate the fault mechanism, and DHF padding the PVF sequence of the entire life cycle to a fixed length (such as 3000×4) to retain the cumulative damage evolution law; using the CNN-LSTM hybrid model to learn the mapping relationship from DHF to RUL, through the weighted loss function ( ) Enhance the prediction accuracy of the key stage before failure, where is the weighted index, is the current time step, is the total bearing life, are the true and predicted values of the remaining life, N is the number of samples, It is the sample number, and finally outputs the high-precision remaining life percentage (such as RMSE0.154 for the PHM2012 dataset), while the comparative patent only outputs the fault type label.
[0008] There are essential differences between the two in terms of scheduling objectives, system structure and technical routes.
[0009] Technical comparison with application CN202311277320 “A rolling bearing fault diagnosis method”;
[0010] 1. Patent application CN202311277320 proposes a wavelet-EMD joint noise reduction framework for early fault detection in high-noise stable working conditions. Its technical path is divided into two layers: adaptive noise reduction and anti-aliasing decomposition. In the noise reduction layer, wavelet packet decomposition and cross-correlation coefficient filtering (threshold ) Eliminate low-correlation nodes and dynamically optimize the global threshold based on the principle of minimizing sample entropy , and a new threshold function is designed to preserve weak impact characteristics. At the decomposition layer, Empirical Mode Decomposition with Complementary Ensemble High-Frequency Harmonics (CEHFHA-EMD) is used to inject high-frequency harmonics to suppress modal aliasing. After decomposing precise IMF components, the Hilbert marginal spectrum and envelope spectrum (such as the 163Hz inner race fault fundamental frequency and its multiples) are extracted. This solution achieves highly sensitive early fault detection in the presence of strong noise, but is limited to current state judgment and cannot predict degradation trends or quantify remaining life.
[0011] 2. This application and CN202311277320 have made significant breakthroughs in terms of technical dimensions and application depth: in terms of signal dimension, the comparative patent relies on single-point vibration signal analysis, while this patent pioneers the plane vibration vector feature (PVF), which quantifies the load direction and energy distribution (main direction angle and ellipticity) through covariance matrix feature decomposition, directly associates the physical mechanism of bearing fault (such as the order of inner ring fault characteristics), and greatly improves the interpretability of the model; in terms of time scale, the envelope spectrum of the comparative patent only reflects the instantaneous fault state, while this patent constructs a degradation history feature (DHF) covering the degradation trajectory of the entire life cycle (zero-filled fixed sequence), combines the CNN-LSTM model to capture long-term dependencies, and realizes the leap from "fault detection" to "life prediction"; in terms of optimization mechanism, this patent designs a weighted mean square error loss function ( ) Dynamically improve the prediction weight before failure ( ), and optimizes hyperparameters through adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO), while the comparative patent does not involve the prediction accuracy optimization mechanism.
[0012] There are essential differences between the two in terms of system architecture, scheduling goals and technical paths. Summary of the Invention

[0070] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0071] This invention discloses a rolling bearing life prediction method based on planar vibration characteristics and degradation history. By integrating multi-directional vibration signal characteristics with deep learning technology, this method accurately predicts the remaining service life of rolling bearings. The following describes specific embodiments of the invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0072] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the rolling bearing life prediction method based on plane vibration characteristics and degradation history of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0073] S1. System hardware configuration and data collection, including the following steps:
[0074] The implementation of the present invention first requires the construction of a complete data acquisition system. The system uses the 352C33 ICP acceleration sensor produced by the American PCB company as the core acquisition device. The sensor has a sensitivity of 100mV / g and a frequency response range of 0.5Hz-10kHz, which can accurately capture the vibration signal of the bearing during operation. In terms of installation layout, it is necessary to install a sensor in the horizontal and vertical directions of the bearing seat. The installation position is no more than 50mm away from the outer ring of the bearing, and a magnetic base is used to ensure close contact between the sensor and the bearing seat. Data acquisition uses the NI cDAQ-9178 chassis with the NI 9234 acquisition module, and the sampling frequency is set to 25.6kHz to meet the requirements of the Nyquist sampling theorem. Each time, 10 seconds of vibration signals are continuously collected. To ensure data quality, the acquisition system has a built-in anti-aliasing filter with a cutoff frequency of 10kHz to effectively prevent high-frequency noise interference.
[0075] S2, signal preprocessing and feature extraction;
[0076] The collected raw vibration signal needs to go through a rigorous preprocessing process. First, wavelet threshold denoising is performed, using the db5 wavelet basis function for a 5-layer decomposition. The denoising process can be expressed as follows:
[0077]
[0078] in, represents the wavelet coefficients, is the threshold value, and its value is , is the noise standard deviation, and N is the signal length. After denoising, high-frequency components above 2kHz are retained, which is crucial for capturing early bearing fault characteristics. For outliers in the signal, the Mahalanobis distance is calculated to identify them: .in, is the mean vector, x is the signal strength, is the covariance matrix. A threshold of 3σ is set, and data segments exceeding this threshold are removed. Missing segments are filled using linear interpolation. Finally, MinMaxScaler is used to normalize all features to the range [0, 1].
[0079] S3, plane vibration feature extraction steps:
[0080] The extraction of plane vibration features is one of the core innovations of this invention. First, the covariance matrix of the horizontal and vertical vibration signals is calculated:
[0081] ;
[0082] in, Represents the covariance between two signals, and performs eigendecomposition on the covariance matrix: , where V is the eigenvector matrix and D is the eigenvalue diagonal matrix. This allows us to extract two key features: principal direction angle and ellipticity. To improve the robustness of feature extraction, the MCD (Minimum Covariance Determinant) algorithm is used for iterative calculations until the matrix determinant changes by less than 1%. The specific implementation steps for this iterative calculation are as follows:
[0083] The algorithm first performs an initialization operation: the optimal covariance matrix C is optimally set to the two-dimensional identity matrix, the historical optimal determinant value is initialized to positive infinity, and an initial data subset S is randomly selected as the starting point for the calculation. The algorithm controls the iteration process by continuously monitoring the determinant improvement σ, and terminates the loop when σ is less than a preset threshold ε.
[0084] Each iteration consists of four core steps:
[0085] Statistics calculation: Calculate the covariance matrix CS and its determinant value based on the current subset S.
[0086] Optimal Solution Update: If the current determinant is less than the historical optimal value, the optimal covariance matrix C is updated using CS. The difference between the old and new determinants is calculated and assigned to σ, and the new determinant is recorded as the optimal value. This design ensures that the algorithm continues to approach a more compact data distribution.
[0087] Outlier identification: The Mahalanobis distance is calculated for all data points. This distance is constructed by the current subset mean μS and the inverse covariance matrix CS−1 to quantify the degree of deviation of each point from the subset.
[0088] Dynamic subset screening: An adaptive threshold θ is set based on the standard deviation, and only points with a Mahalanobis distance lower than θ are retained to form a new subset S. This mechanism effectively excludes outliers with large statistical deviations.
[0089] When the iteration terminates, the algorithm outputs the final optimized covariance matrix C. Its robustness comes from the double closed-loop design: the covariance matrix optimization is driven by the determinant minimization objective, and the Mahalanobis distance threshold is used to achieve dynamic purification of data subsets, making the results insensitive to outliers.
[0090] S31. Data preparation: Prepare a dataset X containing n two-dimensional data points, ensuring the data format is correct. Initialize the parameters required for the calculation, including setting the initial covariance matrix to the second-order identity matrix, the base determinant value to positive infinity, and randomly select an initial data subset S.
[0091] S32, enter the main loop, calculate the covariance matrix of the current subset S;
[0092] S33, calculating the determinant value of the covariance matrix;
[0093] S34. Compare the current determinant value with the historical optimal value, and if it is better, update the optimal estimate and the benchmark value;
[0094] S35, calculating the Mahalanobis distance of all data points relative to the current subset;
[0095] S36. Filter data points according to a preset threshold and update the subset S;
[0096] S37. Determine whether the termination condition is met. If so, terminate the process. If not, return to S32 and regenerate the offspring. The termination condition is that the calculation process is terminated when the difference in the determinant of two consecutive iterations is less than a preset convergence threshold. A maximum number of iterations is also set as a safety limit to prevent infinite loops. In some embodiments of the present invention, the maximum number of iterations is set to 100. The final calculated robust covariance matrix is returned. This matrix is robust to outliers and can accurately reflect the distribution characteristics of the data.
[0097] S4. Degradation history feature construction method:
[0098] The construction of degradation history features adopts an innovative zero-filled fixed-length sequence method. Assuming that m groups of PVF features are collected throughout the entire life cycle of the bearing, and each group of features contains n parameters, the constructed DHF matrix at time t is:
[0099]
[0100] in, is the eigenvector, is the maximum lifetime constant, c is the number of channels, is a real number space, and when m<3000, it is filled with zero vectors. This processing method not only preserves the complete trajectory of the degradation process, but also solves the problem of local information fragmentation caused by the traditional sliding window method.
[0101] S5. CNN-LSTM hybrid model construction:
[0102] The CNN-LSTM hybrid neural network architecture designed by the present invention is as follows Figure 2 As shown, it specifically includes the following levels:
