[0068] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0069] As shown in Embodiment 1, Figure 1 The present application provides a gear defect detection system based on gear pump processing, comprising a gear defect detection platform, the gear defect detection platform is communicatively connected with a magnetization preprocessing module, a magnetic signal acquisition module, a magnetic signal processing module, a gear defect analysis module and a defect visualization labeling module, wherein the modules are electrically connected.

[0070] The magnetization pretreatment module is used to customize magnetization schemes based on the material and structural characteristics of the gears. This includes selecting appropriate magnetization equipment, magnetization intensity, and magnetization direction. Through demagnetization and pre-magnetization steps, it reduces the influence of residual magnetic fields within the material on the test results, ensuring the gears have a consistent magnetization state before testing. This improves the comparability and stability of magnetic signals, reduces magnetization inhomogeneity caused by material differences, and provides a reliable foundation for subsequent testing. The module determines gear parameters based on the operating characteristics of the gear pump (flow rate, pressure, speed, etc.) and the expected operating environment (temperature, humidity, corrosive media, etc.), inputs these parameters into the system, and analyzes the material and structural characteristics of the gears. The gear materials include both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic materials. Gears made of different materials respond differently to magnetization. Structural characteristics include size, shape, number of teeth, tooth pitch, and tooth thickness. Ferromagnetic materials (such as carbon steel and alloy steel) have high permeability and hysteresis characteristics, resulting in a strong response to magnetic fields. Non-ferromagnetic materials (such as stainless steel and aluminum alloys) have weaker magnetization capabilities. Based on the material and structural characteristics of the gears, their magnetization characteristics are analyzed to determine the required magnetization intensity, magnetization direction, and pretreatment steps to customize a magnetization scheme. The selection of magnetization intensity and direction depends on the gear material and the required detection sensitivity. Higher magnetization intensity results in higher detection sensitivity, but the gear's load-bearing capacity and response to magnetization must also be considered. The magnetization direction should be perpendicular to the expected direction of the defect to improve detection accuracy. To ensure accuracy, a demagnetizing device is used to demagnetize the gears. After demagnetization, a magnetizing device is used to pre-magnetize the gears to ensure a consistent magnetization state. The demagnetizing process removes residual magnetic fields from the gears, preventing interference with subsequent magnetization and inspection processes. The gears are placed in the demagnetizing device, starting with a high magnetic field strength and gradually decreasing it to zero while slowly rotating the gear to ensure the magnetic field dissipates evenly. This process is repeated multiple times to minimize the residual magnetic field inside the gears. The demagnetizing device is a coil device with an adjustable magnetic field strength. The pre-magnetizing process applies an initial, uniform magnetization state to the gears, providing a consistent background signal for subsequent defect detection. The specific magnetization process depends on the gear's material and structure. Based on structural characteristics, select appropriate magnetization equipment (AC magnetization equipment, DC magnetization equipment, or pulse magnetization equipment), set magnetization intensity and direction, use circumferential magnetization for axial defect detection and longitudinal magnetization for radial defect detection, and then pre-magnetize the gear to ensure uniform and stable magnetization process. Multiple magnetization and verification are required to ensure consistency of magnetization state. Verify the magnetization state of the gear after pre-magnetization to verify whether the magnetization state of the gear meets the expected requirements, ensure the comparability and stability of magnetic signals, and record and store the magnetization parameters (magnetization intensity, magnetization direction, equipment type, etc.) in the system database. At the same time, generate a unique magnetization state identifier for each gear to facilitate traceability and comparison in subsequent detection processes.

[0071] The magnetic signal acquisition module is used to acquire the magnetic signal of the gear detection by using a high-resolution and high-sensitivity magnetic sensor array, including the magnetic signal data of the gear surface and the internal part, and the sensitivity of the detection is improved by capturing the magnetic signal changes caused by the defects on the gear surface and the internal part. According to the size and shape of the gear, the magnetic sensor array is configured, and multiple magnetic sensors are arranged to form an array to ensure that the surface of the gear and the possible internal defect area can be fully covered, and a multi-axis detection function is adopted to capture the magnetic field changes in different directions. The magnetic sensor is a tunnel magnetoresistance sensor or a fluxgate sensor. The gear is magnetized based on a customized magnetization scheme, and the magnetized gear is placed on the detection platform to fix the relative position between the gear and the magnetic sensor array. The magnetic signal generated by the gear surface and the internal part is captured by the magnetic sensor array. The magnetic signal includes the magnetic field generated by the normal structure of the gear and the magnetic field changes caused by the defects.

[0072] The magnetic signal processing module is used to apply signal processing techniques to customize the processing of different types of noise in the magnetic signal to solve the problem of overlapping magnetized signals, separate different defect signals, improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the magnetic signal, reduce the influence of noise on the detection result, improve the clarity and accuracy of the magnetic signal, and amplify the original magnetic signal collected by a differential amplifier to improve the detectability of the signal. A lock-in amplifier is used to amplify the frequency of the magnetic signal to further enhance the signal strength and improve the detectability of the signal. The magnetic signal is subjected to a direct current offset removal process to eliminate the baseline drift caused by equipment or environmental factors. The direct current offset removal can be achieved by a high-pass filter to ensure the stability of the signal. The preprocessed signal is subjected to frequency spectrum analysis to identify the main noise types and frequency ranges in the signal, analyze the characteristics of the noise, and determine whether it is white noise, periodic noise, or random noise. Based on the results of the noise analysis, a corresponding filter is designed to process different types of noise. For periodic noise, a notch filter or band-stop filter is used for suppression. For random noise, an adaptive filter or Kalman filter method is used for noise reduction. The independent component analysis signal separation technique is applied to separate the overlapping magnetized signals. The statistical independence between signals is used to separate different defect signals from the mixed signals. The separated signals are subjected to feature extraction to calculate the statistical characteristics of the peak value, mean value, variance, and frequency of the signal. A 24-bit high-precision analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is used to convert the amplified and filtered analog signal into a digital signal to ensure high resolution of the data. The collected digital signal is transmitted to the host computer through a communication module for subsequent analysis. A unique detection identifier is generated for each gear. The magnetic signal data of the gear is stored along with the identification information of the gear, the detection parameters (magnetization strength and direction), and the acquisition timestamp for subsequent tracing.

[0073] The gear defect analysis module is used to perform feature analysis on the signal after magnetic signal processing, extract defect features, separate different defect signals, and then build a defect classification model to identify gear defect types. At the same time, it analyzes the severity of defects to determine the usability of the gear.

[0074] The defect visualization and annotation module is used to visualize the location, size, type, and availability information of detected defects. It provides a user-friendly interface, making it easy for users to view, analyze, and annotate the detection results, making the results more intuitive and easy to understand, and improving the user experience.

[0075] Example 2, as Figure 2 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the present invention provides a technical solution: preferably, the gear defect analysis module includes a defect signal separation unit, a defect classification and identification unit, and a defect severity analysis unit;

[0076] The defect signal separation unit is used to extract defect features from the processed magnetic signals, and to distinguish the magnetic signals of different defect types through signal analysis, so as to separate different defect signals, effectively extract independent features of different defects from the overlapping magnetic signals, reduce the classification error caused by the overlap of defect types, improve the detection accuracy of the system, and determine the defect types of the gear according to the working characteristics of the gear pump and the expected use environment, including surface damage defects, geometric deformation defects and fatigue crack defects, and extract the corresponding defect features for each type of defect, while determining the detection reference value of each defect feature, wherein the detection reference value is determined according to the design requirements of the gear, the use environment and the industry standard, and is used to evaluate whether the defect exceeds the acceptable range. For surface damage defects, the defect features are wear features, pitting features and gluing features. For geometric deformation defects, the defect features are tooth profile error, axial / radial runout and center distance deviation. For fatigue crack defects, the defect features are crack length, crack depth and crack number. Then, the detection reference values of the defect features are integrated to obtain a standard defect feature sequence, wherein the wear feature reflects the wear degree of the gear surface material, the pitting feature represents the small hole-shaped damage on the gear surface caused by fatigue or corrosion, the gluing feature reflects the adhesion damage on the gear surface caused by poor lubrication or overload, the tooth profile error represents the shape deviation of the gear tooth profile, the axial / radial runout represents the position deviation of the gear in the axial or radial direction, the center distance deviation represents the deviation between the actual value and the design value of the gear center distance, the crack length represents the extension length of the crack, the crack depth represents the depth of the crack, and the crack number represents the number of cracks on the gear. The defect signal separation unit receives the processed magnetic signal data and performs feature analysis on the magnetic signal data to identify the frequency components in the signal and distinguish different types of defect features. Then, the independent component analysis technology is used to separate different defect signals, and the mixed signals are decomposed into independent defect signals through the statistical independence between signals. The independent features of each defect are extracted from the separated signals to ensure that the features of different defect signals are clear and distinguishable. Specifically, the implementation steps of the independent component analysis technology are as follows: the collected magnetic signals are subjected to mean removal and whitening processing to make the signals have unit variance and be unrelated to each other; the FastICA (Fast Independent Component Analysis) algorithm is used for fixed-point iteration to maximize the non-Gaussianity of the signal and separate the independent components; statistical features such as peak value, mean value, variance, frequency feature and kurtosis are extracted from the separated independent components; the extracted features are compared with the standard defect feature sequence to be classified into known defect types and the separation result is output, wherein the wear feature extracts the amplitude change of the signal to reflect the wear degree of the surface material, the pitting feature extracts the high-frequency component of the signal to reflect the existence of the small hole-shaped damage, the gluing feature extracts the low-frequency component of the signal to reflect the characteristics of the adhesion damage, and the tooth profile error extracts the shape deviation feature of the signal.The position deviation feature of the axial / radial runout extraction signal, the center distance deviation feature of the center distance deviation extraction signal, the crack feature of the crack length, depth and number extraction signal, such as the magnetic field distortion caused by the crack, the separated defect feature is compared with the standard defect feature sequence, classified into known defect types (surface damage, geometric deformation or fatigue crack), and the separated defect signal is output to the defect classification and identification unit;

The integrity and consistency of the feature vector are checked to ensure that there are no missing values or outliers. A trained defect classification model is loaded, and the input interface of the model is initialized to ensure that the format of the input feature vector is consistent with the model training. The constructed feature vector is input into the defect classification model. The model calculates the probability of the input feature belonging to different defect types by gradually extracting and integrating features through its internal neural network structure. The probability of the input feature belonging to surface damage, geometric deformation, or fatigue crack is calculated. Based on the probability value output by the model, the defect type with the highest probability is selected as the final recognition result. The recognized defect type and related information are then organized into a structured output format and output to the defect severity analysis unit for subsequent defect severity analysis. The output information includes the defect type, specific values of the defect features, defect location, and probability value output by the model.
