Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of dynamic monitoring technology of oil abrasive particles, and particularly relates to a method and system for dynamic monitoring of oil abrasive particles based on deep learning. Background Technology
[0002] In the existing technology, oil wear monitoring mainly relies on wear detection and analysis based on traditional equipment such as optical microscopes and laser particle size analyzers. Traditional methods require manual intervention, and offline analysis is performed after collecting oil samples to determine the lubrication status and wear of the equipment. While this method can monitor the wear of the equipment to a certain extent, it has several limitations.
[0003] Traditional oil wear monitoring methods mostly require manual operation, have low data processing efficiency, long monitoring cycles, and are difficult to achieve real-time equipment status monitoring. Wear problems cannot be detected in the early stages, which may lead to maintenance measures being taken only when serious failures occur, resulting in unnecessary downtime and economic losses.
[0004] In existing technologies, the detection of oil abrasive particles is mostly based on simple particle counting or size measurement methods. These technical means cannot fully capture the key information of the shape, composition, and type of abrasive particles. This key information is the key indicator of equipment wear characteristics. Traditional methods are difficult to comprehensively and accurately characterize the wear state of equipment. In addition, due to the complexity of the morphology and chemical composition of abrasive particles, traditional detection methods lack sufficient intelligent means to automatically analyze and classify complex data, which limits their application scope and detection accuracy.
[0005] Traditional oil wear monitoring systems cannot achieve automation and intelligence. Existing monitoring systems often rely on a single data acquisition and analysis method, lacking the processing capabilities based on big data and artificial intelligence. They are unable to cope with complex and ever-changing industrial environments. In practical applications, as equipment operating time increases and operating conditions change, the wear patterns of the equipment often change dynamically. Existing monitoring methods lack adaptability and responsiveness to dynamic changes.
[0006] In summary, the existing technologies have the following main drawbacks: First, traditional oil abrasive monitoring methods cannot achieve real-time monitoring and are difficult to provide early warning of equipment wear problems; second, existing technologies cannot fully capture the multi-dimensional characteristics of abrasive particles, resulting in limited detection accuracy; third, existing systems lack intelligent and automated processing capabilities, making them difficult to adapt to complex industrial application environments.

Unlike traditional local image analysis methods, the visual transformer divides the abrasive image into several image blocks and embeds each image block.

The first-layer generator generates a preliminary abrasive image, and the second-layer generator enhances the details of the abrasive image based on the first-layer generator, making it closer to the real abrasive image. Through adversarial training, the discriminator can effectively distinguish between real and generated abrasive images, improving the system's ability to identify abrasives in complex industrial environments. Compared with traditional rule-based recognition methods, the introduction of the two-layer generative adversarial network not only improves the detail fidelity of the abrasive image, but also optimizes the accuracy and reliability of abrasive feature classification.
[0069] (3) By deploying a trained two-layer generative adversarial network model in the monitoring system, the present invention realizes real-time monitoring of the lubrication status and wear of the equipment. The system can dynamically calculate the wear status index of the equipment based on the type, size, quantity and chemical composition characteristics of the abrasive particles, and compare it with the set threshold in real time. Once the threshold is exceeded, the system will automatically trigger an early warning mechanism to notify relevant maintenance personnel to take timely maintenance measures, thereby improving the real-time performance and automation level of the monitoring system and avoiding economic losses caused by equipment downtime due to malfunctions.

[0124] A deep learning-based dynamic monitoring system for oil wear particles includes the following modules:
[0125] The sensor module is used to collect real-time data on abrasive particles in the lubrication system of the equipment, including the number of abrasive particles, their size, shape, and chemical composition.
[0126] The data processing module is configured to receive oil abrasive data collected by the sensor module and to preprocess, standardize, and denoise the oil abrasive data.
[0127] A two-layer generative adversarial network model, consisting of a first-layer generator, a second-layer generator, and a discriminator, generates and discriminates abrasive image features and classifies abrasive feature data.

[0129] The early warning module automatically generates an abnormal warning message and notifies maintenance personnel when it detects abnormal wear and tear on the equipment.
[0130] The data storage and visualization module stores monitoring data and uses visualization tools to display the equipment's operating status and the changing trends of abrasive characteristics.
[0131] Example 2: Example 2 illustrates the application of the present invention in wind power generation equipment. In a coastal wind farm, hundreds of wind turbines operate daily under harsh climatic conditions. Moisture, salt spray, and high wind speeds in the environment continuously affect the lubrication system of the equipment. Monitoring abrasive particles in the lubricating oil is crucial to ensuring the normal operation of the wind turbines. However, traditional abrasive particle monitoring methods often rely on manual sampling, which has a long detection cycle and makes it difficult to detect early wear problems in the equipment in a timely manner.
[0132] To address this issue, the wind farm decided to introduce this invention to achieve real-time monitoring of the wear status of the lubrication system. The system is deployed on each wind turbine in the wind farm and collects lubricating oil samples in real time through sensors to monitor the characteristics of abrasive particles in the oil. During operation, the system continuously analyzes multi-dimensional data on the number, size, and chemical composition of abrasive particles, thereby dynamically assessing the wear status of the equipment.
[0133] During a monitoring process in May 2023, the monitoring system detected an anomaly in the wind turbine generator set numbered "W001". The system collected data in real time and found that the number of abrasive particles in the lubricating oil began to increase rapidly, from 50 to 75 per milliliter. At the same time, the average size of the abrasive particles also increased from 5.2 micrometers to 6.2 micrometers. The system automatically determined that the abrasive particle data exceeded the preset threshold and generated the first abnormal wear warning report at 14:32 that day.
[0134] Monitoring data showed a significant increase in copper content in the abrasive particles' chemical composition. Analysis indicated that the bearings inside the equipment might be experiencing abnormal wear. Equipment monitoring personnel confirmed this anomaly through a system-generated report and received a warning signal at 14:35. Based on the real-time data provided by the system, the maintenance team decided to shut down the equipment for inspection at 17:00 that afternoon.
[0135] Inspection revealed that the bearings of equipment W001 had suffered severe wear, and the lubricating oil contained excessive levels of metal particles. Further analysis of the abrasive particle shape, size, and composition determined that the primary cause of the wear was long-term operation leading to bearing lubrication failure and increased metal-to-metal friction. The maintenance team immediately repaired the lubrication system and replaced the damaged bearing assembly, successfully preventing a larger-scale equipment failure.
[0136] During this period, another device, numbered "W002", also showed a similar wear warning. After the system detected that the number of abrasive particles in device W002 increased from 65 per milliliter to 85, and the abrasive particle size increased from 5.8 micrometers to 7.0 micrometers, it generated an anomaly report again at 10:12 on May 18. Through the report automatically generated by the system, the maintenance personnel quickly located the wear problem and decided to conduct further testing on the equipment.
[0137] The test results of equipment W002 showed that the iron content in the abrasive particles was significantly high. System analysis showed that the external material of the bearing may have generated a large number of wear particles due to friction. The monitoring system recorded the growth trend of iron particles in the lubricating oil of the equipment in real time and sent an emergency warning at 10:15. Based on the data, the maintenance team took timely shutdown maintenance and successfully repaired the damaged parts of the equipment, avoiding more serious failures.
[0138] To better verify the effectiveness of the system of the present invention, we selected 10 devices in a wind farm and conducted dynamic monitoring of oil abrasive particles for three months, and compared the results with traditional methods. Table 1 below shows the monitoring data of some devices:
[0139] Table 1 Comparison of data from the oil abrasive dynamic monitoring system
[0140]
[0141] As can be seen from the data in Table 1 above, the system of the present invention can respond quickly when abnormal wear is detected. In the monitoring of equipment W001, when the system detected a rapid increase in the number and size of abrasive particles, it generated an abnormal wear warning report at 14:32. The equipment inspection conducted at 17:00 confirmed the wear of the bearing. In contrast, the traditional manual inspection method requires sampling and analysis once a month, with a cycle of up to 30 days. This means that in the traditional method, the wear problem of equipment W001 may not be discovered until 30 days later, and the equipment will be subject to a greater risk of damage.
[0142] During the monitoring of equipment W002, the system detected that the number of abrasive particles increased from 65 per milliliter to 85, and generated an abnormality warning report at 10:12. Based on this data, the maintenance team quickly shut down the machine for maintenance and repaired the wear problem of the equipment at 13:00 that afternoon. Traditional methods, due to their long detection cycle, cannot detect early signs of equipment wear in a timely manner.
[0143] The system of this invention can not only monitor the changes in the number and size of abrasive particles in real time, but also further identify the root cause of equipment wear by analyzing the chemical composition of the abrasive particles. In the monitoring of W004 equipment, the system found that the metal particles in the lubricating oil exceeded the standard by analyzing the copper content in the abrasive particles, and generated an abnormality warning report at 11:00 to remind maintenance personnel to perform emergency maintenance operations. Traditional methods cannot provide real-time data due to long sampling cycles, which may delay the resolution of equipment wear problems.
[0144] Through practical application in wind power generation equipment, the oil wear particle dynamic monitoring system based on a two-layer generative adversarial network model of this invention has demonstrated its superior real-time monitoring capabilities. The system can generate timely anomaly warning reports by analyzing multi-dimensional data on the number, size, shape, and chemical composition of wear particles at an early stage of lubricating oil wear problems, guiding maintenance personnel to perform precise equipment maintenance and preventing major equipment failures. Compared with traditional detection methods, this system has higher response speed and detection accuracy, effectively reducing equipment maintenance costs and improving equipment operational reliability.
[0145] This invention introduces a visual transformer model into abrasive image processing. It utilizes a self-attention mechanism to achieve global feature extraction of abrasive images. Unlike traditional local image analysis methods, the visual transformer divides the abrasive image into several image blocks and embeds each image block. Then, it extracts the global dependencies of the abrasive image through a self-attention mechanism, which can capture the multidimensional features of abrasives more comprehensively and accurately, including the shape, size and surface details of the abrasives.
[0146] This invention employs a two-layer generative adversarial network model, comprising two generators and one discriminator. The first-layer generator generates an initial abrasive grain image, while the second-layer generator enhances the details of the abrasive grain image based on the first-layer generator, making it closer to a real abrasive grain image. Through adversarial training, the discriminator can effectively distinguish between real and generated abrasive grain images, improving the system's ability to identify abrasive grains in complex industrial environments. Compared to traditional rule-based recognition methods, the introduction of the two-layer generative adversarial network not only improves the detail fidelity of the abrasive grain image but also optimizes the accuracy and reliability of abrasive grain feature classification.
[0147] This invention deploys a trained two-layer generative adversarial network model into a monitoring system, enabling real-time monitoring of equipment lubrication status and wear. The system can dynamically calculate the wear status index of the equipment based on the type, size, quantity, and chemical composition characteristics of abrasive particles, and compare it with a set threshold in real time. Once the threshold is exceeded, the system will automatically trigger an early warning mechanism to notify relevant maintenance personnel to take timely maintenance measures, thereby improving the real-time performance and automation level of the monitoring system and avoiding economic losses caused by equipment downtime due to malfunctions.
[0148] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
