Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of rolling bearing fault diagnosis, and in particular relates to a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on multi-channel feature fusion images. Background Art

[0002] Rotating equipment is a critical component of industrial production. Failure can halt production and even lead to serious accidents. According to incomplete statistics, approximately 30% of rotating machinery failures are caused by rolling bearings. Research on condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of rolling bearings can effectively reduce the operating costs of rotating machinery and ensure the long-term safety and stability of rotating machinery.

[0003] Because rolling bearings operate in harsh and volatile environments for long periods of time, and under conditions of dynamic changes in speed and load, the vibration signals of rolling bearings in industrial applications often contain interference from vibrations and noise from other components, making it difficult to directly diagnose rolling bearing faults. Signal decomposition methods can decompose signals into multiple sub-signal components with clear physical meanings. These sub-signal components contain rolling bearing fault characteristics that are easier to extract. Variational mode decomposition establishes a constrained optimization problem using component narrowband conditions to estimate the center frequency of the signal components and reconstruct the components. Eigenmode decomposition considers the impact and periodicity of the equipment fault response, adaptively adjusting the filter center frequency and bandwidth to obtain a series of eigenmode components. However, each eigenmode component only contains the characteristics of a specific rolling bearing fault. Therefore, fault diagnosis requires checking each eigenmode component one by one, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] In addition, due to the influence of working conditions and noise, the fault information of one-dimensional signals may be reduced, blurred, and shifted, resulting in reduced fault diagnosis accuracy.

[0005] With the development of computer technology, shallow machine learning algorithms such as support vector machines and artificial neural networks have been gradually applied to fault diagnosis, but the extracted features have weak generalization capabilities. Deep learning, with its powerful feature extraction capabilities, can learn efficient feature representations from input. Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are used to extract time series features, but their accuracy is easily affected by noise. Using the two-dimensional feature image of the original signal as the neural network input, a convolutional neural network (CNN) extracts fault information from the image, which can extract more complex features. However, CNNs lack global information and their convolution kernel weights cannot change dynamically. Therefore, a fault diagnosis model with strong global information capture and generalization capabilities is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0058] Embodiment 1, as shown in Figure 1 A rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on multi-channel feature fusion images is proposed in this embodiment, including a fault diagnosis model training step and a fault diagnosis step. The fault diagnosis model training step includes:

[0059] Step 1: Collect multi-channel vibration signals of rolling bearings with different fault types through sensors, preprocess the multi-channel vibration signals, and obtain multi-channel vibration signals x(n), where n represents the number of sampling points.

[0060] Step 2: Set the parameters of the empirical mode decomposition, perform empirical mode decomposition on the vibration signals x(n) of each channel respectively, obtain a plurality of intrinsic mode functions, and select a part of the intrinsic mode functions as the target intrinsic mode functions.

[0061] Step 3: Convert the target feature modal components to the same polar coordinate system for display output to obtain a multi-channel feature fusion image. Combine the multi-channel feature fusion images of rolling bearings with different fault types to construct a rolling bearing fault dataset. Preprocess the multi-channel feature fusion images, and divide the rolling bearing fault dataset into a training set and a test set according to a ratio.

[0062] Step 4: Construct a fault diagnosis model and use the training set to train the model. After the loss function converges, obtain the fault diagnosis model.

[0063] The fault diagnosis steps include:

[0064] Input the multi-channel feature fusion image of the rolling bearing into the fault diagnosis model and output the rolling bearing fault diagnosis result.

[0065] In the fault diagnosis steps, it can be to preprocess the multi-channel vibration signals of the rolling bearing faults collected in real time, perform feature modal decomposition in step 2, obtain the multi-channel feature fusion image according to step 3, and then input the multi-channel feature fusion image into the fault diagnosis model for diagnosis and output the diagnosis result. It can also be the historical acquisition data of the multi-channel vibration signals of the rolling bearing faults. After being processed by the above steps, the multi-channel feature fusion image is obtained and input into the fault diagnosis model for diagnosis and output the diagnosis result.

[0066] For the rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on multi-channel feature fusion images in this embodiment, by selecting a part of the feature modal components as the target feature modal components, the data processing amount can be reduced. By converting the target feature modal components to the same polar coordinate system for display output, a multi-channel feature fusion image is obtained, realizing the conversion of multiple one-dimensional time series into a single two-dimensional feature image for presentation, reflecting the global information of the rolling bearing fault state from the visual information of the feature image, learning the complex relationship between the overall image structure and key features, and training the fault diagnosis model according to the patterns presented by the multi-channel feature fusion images and the corresponding faults, realizing the automation of rolling bearing fault diagnosis.

[0067] By constructing a polar coordinate mapping, convert the multi-channel one-dimensional vibration signals into two-dimensional feature fusion images, establish cross-channel feature collaborative analysis while retaining the independent features of each channel, and at the same time the differences in the images can accurately reflect the state of the rolling bearing, enhancing the overall expression of different fault states of the rolling bearing.

[0068] In some embodiments, in step 1, the method for preprocessing the multi-channel vibration signals includes:

[0069] Perform high-frequency sampling on the multi-channel vibration signals. The sampling frequency of the high-frequency sampling is at least twice the highest frequency of the rolling bearing vibration signals. High-frequency sampling can completely record the high-frequency transient impact signals generated by the rolling bearing faults, avoiding signal aliasing or loss caused by insufficient sampling rate. In this embodiment, by setting the high-frequency sampling rate to be at least twice the highest frequency of the rolling bearing vibration signals, the multi-channel vibration signals are aligned and intercepted based on the sampling frequency to ensure the consistency of the fault-related features of the vibration signals in different channels in the time dimension.

[0070] Align the multi-channel vibration signals after high-frequency sampling on the time axis, and intercept the signals with a set duration to obtain the multi-channel vibration signals x(n).

[0071] In some embodiments, the method for preprocessing the multi-channel vibration signals further includes, but is not limited to, denoising processing.

[0072] In some embodiments, the parameters of the empirical mode decomposition set in step two include the number of modes N, the number of filters K, the maximum number of iterations M, and the filter length L.

[0073] In some embodiments, in step two, the method for obtaining the target characteristic mode components includes:

[0074] Perform empirical mode decomposition on the vibration signals of each channel respectively. The vibration signals of each channel are decomposed into multiple characteristic mode components.

[0075] Calculate the correlation kurtosis of each characteristic mode component of each channel, and sort the correlation kurtosis in descending order. Select the first A characteristic mode components corresponding to the correlation kurtosis as the target characteristic mode components. It can be understood that A should be a positive integer and A is not greater than the total number of all characteristic mode components.

[0076] The correlation kurtosis can reflect the periodicity and impulsiveness of the vibration signals, and the rolling bearing faults also have periodicity and impulsiveness. In this solution, by selecting the characteristic mode components with larger correlation kurtosis as the target characteristic mode components, the characteristic mode components only related to the faults can be screened out for processing, which can greatly reduce the calculation amount, improve the fault diagnosis speed, and realize real-time fault diagnosis.

[0077] In some embodiments, the calculation method of the correlation kurtosis CK is:

[0078]

[0079] where y n represents the n-point vibration value of the mode component y, and y n-T represents the n-T point vibration value of the mode component y, T represents the fault period, and N represents the length of the mode component y.

[0080] In some embodiments, the method for obtaining the fault cycle T includes:

[0081] Establish the autocorrelation function R x (τ) of the modal component y:

[0082]

[0083] where τ represents the time delay value for collecting the multi-channel vibration signals of the rolling bearing, and y n+τ represents the vibration value at the n + τ point of the modal component y.

[0084] Calculate the local maximum value of R x (τ) as the fault cycle T.

[0085] In some embodiments, before the step of calculating the correlation kurtosis of each characteristic modal component of each channel, it further includes a step of processing the characteristic modal components, including:

[0086] Align all the characteristic modal components in time.

[0087] Stitch the characteristic modal components of each channel according to the interception order of the multi-channel vibration signal x(n).

[0088] In some embodiments, in step three, the method for obtaining the multi-channel feature fusion image includes:

[0089] Convert the time series coordinates of the characteristic modal components to polar coordinates, with the center of the plane as the pole, draw a ray from the pole as the polar axis, the unit of the radial coordinate of the polar coordinates is 1, the unit of the angular coordinate of the polar angle is 1°, and the counterclockwise direction is the positive direction of the angle. Calculate the radial radius r(ij), polar angles θ(ij), β(ij), α(ij), and use (r(ij), θ(ij)), (r(ij), β(ij)), (r(ij), α(ij)) as polar coordinate points to form a multi-channel feature fusion image. The image can effectively characterize the state differences generated by different fault types through the radial texture features and the angular pole distribution features, realizing the mapping between the fault mode and the visual features of the image. r(ij), θ(ij), β(ij), α(ij) are specifically as follows:

[0090]

[0091]

[0092] ]>

[0093] In the formula, i represents the i-th characteristic modal component; represents the vibration value at the j-th point of the i-th modal component; x maxrepresents the maximum value of the vibration mode component; x min represents the minimum value of the vibration mode component; a, b, and c represent offset coefficients; η represents the amplification coefficient; m represents the number of target characteristic mode components; represents the vibration value at the j + a point of the i-th mode component.

[0094] During the calculation of the polar radius, data normalization is adopted, which reduces the influence of working conditions, avoids the excessive influence of certain characteristics on the results, and ignores the contributions of other characteristics

[0095] In some embodiments, in step three, the method for preprocessing the multi-channel feature fusion image includes:

[0096] Set the resolution of the multi-channel feature fusion image to m 2 ×m 2 .

[0097] Convert the multi-channel feature fusion image into a grayscale image to reduce redundant color information, which can effectively reduce the input data volume, reduce the computational cost and memory consumption of training, and at the same time make subsequent diagnosis more focused on the structure and texture features of the image, improving the running efficiency of the model.

[0098] In some embodiments, in step four, in constructing the fault diagnosis model, the grayscale image of the multi-channel feature fusion image is divided into m×m sizes to obtain m 2 image blocks, and each image block is mapped to a vector of m 2 . In this embodiment, by setting the resolution of the multi-channel feature fusion image to m 2 ×m 2 , it is convenient to segment the image.

[0099] To facilitate the operation of subsequent methods, the image is preprocessed. By dividing the grayscale image of the multi-channel feature fusion image into several small image blocks, the resolution of each image block becomes smaller and more compact compared to the original image, which can reduce the computational complexity and improve the computational speed in the training of the fault diagnosis model.

[0100] In some embodiments, the fault diagnosis model is constructed based on the self-attention mechanism. Construct a fault diagnosis model, which includes multiple encoders. The encoders capture the global information of the image through the self-attention mechanism, which is achieved by defining three learnable weight matrices query Q, key K, and value V. The output calculation of the self-attention layer is shown in the following formula:

[0101]

[0102] where Attention(Q, K, V) represents the output of the self-attention layer; softmax represents the function that converts to a probability distribution; QKT represents the dot product between the query and all keys; is the normalization factor.

[0103] The multi-channel feature fusion image is subjected to feature extraction through a fault diagnosis model based on the self-attention mechanism for fault diagnosis of rolling bearings; the self-attention mechanism is used to capture the global features in the image, learn the complex relationship between the overall image structure and key features, and realize the automation of rolling bearing fault diagnosis. In industrial applications, due to the existence of a large amount of monitoring data, after pre-training and fine-tuning, the model has good generalization ability and accuracy.

[0104] Example 2. In a specific embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, taking a certain fluid machinery performance and fault comprehensive simulation test bench as an example, the test bench includes a motor 1, an optoelectronic sensor 2, a coupling 3, a vibration acceleration sensor 4, a bearing housing 5, and a gearbox 6. The optoelectronic sensor 2 is installed on the front side of the motor 1 to measure the movement of the inner ring of the bearing. The motor 1 drives the movement of the inner ring of the bearing through the coupling 3 to drive the rotor. The outer ring of the bearing is fixed on the bearing housing 5, and the vibration acceleration sensor 4 is installed at the bearing housing 5 to measure the vibration signal of the bearing. The gearbox 6 is installed at the tail of the rotor and is connected through a coupling. The experiment mainly includes various conditions such as faults of the outer ring of the rolling bearing, faults of the inner ring, and health. In a specific example, the collected fault vibration signals are subjected to high-frequency sampling, truncation, and denoising processing, where the sampling frequency is 51200 Hz, and the data with 51200 sampling points in the entire signal segment is intercepted. As Figure 3a - Figure 3c shown, they are the vibration signals collected in the x, y, and z directions in space respectively.

[0105] The original fault signal is a multi-channel one-dimensional time-domain signal. Due to the interference of noise and other components, the various fault characteristics of the rolling bearing are hidden in the time-domain signal, making it difficult to directly perform rolling bearing fault diagnosis. Combining the impulsiveness and periodicity of rolling bearing faults, the multi-channel one-dimensional time-domain signal is decomposed into multi-channel feature mode components through the method of feature mode decomposition, and the various characteristics of the faults are separated to form multiple feature mode components, thereby judging the bearing fault type.

[0106] In step S2, the set parameters include the number of modes N, the number of filters K, the filter length L, and the maximum number of iterations. In a specific example, the number of modes is 1, the number of filters is 10, the filter length is 30, and the maximum number of iterations is 30.

[0107] According to the method described in Step 2 to Step 3 of Embodiment 1, the multi-channel vibration signal is decomposed into multi-channel characteristic mode components through characteristic mode decomposition, and Figure 4a - Figure 4c the multi-channel characteristic mode components shown in Figure 4a - Figure 4c are transformed into multi-channel feature fusion images, and the multi-channel feature fusion images are converted into grayscale images, as shown in Figure 5 . The image can effectively characterize the state differences generated by different fault types through the radial texture feature and the angular pole distribution feature, realizing the mapping between the fault mode and the visual features of the image. The multi-channel feature fusion image fully contains the global features and overall information of the vibration signal, enhancing the visualization of the fault features.

[0108] As shown in Figure 6 , the figure shows that the multi-channel feature fusion images formed by different fault types have large differences, can accurately reflect the states of different rolling bearing fault types, and are convenient for subsequent fault diagnosis, indicating the effectiveness of the multi-channel feature fusion image for rolling bearing fault diagnosis.

[0109] The self-attention mechanism can focus on and capture the global features of the image without a convolutional layer. At the same time, in industrial applications, due to the complexity of the equipment environment and the massive monitoring data, the deep learning fault diagnosis model has better generalization ability and accuracy. The structure of the fault diagnosis model is shown in Figure 7 . The image is segmented into a series of image blocks, and each image block is converted into a low-dimensional vector to meet the requirements of the input data.

[0110] Set the hyperparameters of the fault diagnosis model, as shown in Table 1.

[0111] [[ID=**********]]Table 1 Model Hyperparameter Settings

[0112]

[0113] Train the initial model with the rolling bearing training set. When it is judged whether the number of iterations reaches the set value, if satisfied, output the model. In a specific embodiment provided by the present invention, after processing the rolling bearing vibration data, input it into the rolling bearing fault diagnosis model to classify the rolling bearing and give the corresponding diagnosis results. The iterative loss and accuracy of the model are shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 . The accuracy of the rolling bearing of the proposed method reaches 97%. The results show that the method proposed in this example can efficiently and accurately complete the rolling bearing fault diagnosis function and can effectively ensure the efficient operation of the rolling bearing.

[0114] A rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on a multi-channel feature fusion image proposed by the present invention decomposes the rolling bearing vibration signal by using a feature mode decomposition method. The obtained multi-channel feature mode components contain different rolling bearing fault information. All the mode components are fused through a multi-channel feature fusion image. At the same time, due to normalization, the influence of working conditions is reduced, and the impact and periodicity of rolling bearing faults are more reflected. A model is used to extract the global features and local features of the multi-channel feature fusion image to realize the rolling bearing fault diagnosis function.

[0115] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those of ordinary skill in the art within the scope of the essence of the present invention should also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
