Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of gear box wear state evaluation, and particularly relates to a wind turbine gear box wear state evaluation method and system fusing vibration and oil. BACKGROUND

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background technology related to the present application and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] In the field of gear system health monitoring, the abrasive particle and vibration online monitoring technologies have become key means for evaluating the health condition of the gear box. The abrasive particle monitoring reflects the wear state by analyzing the relative concentration change of the abrasive particles in the oil, and further explores the wear mechanism through abrasive particle morphology analysis; and the vibration monitoring can track the change trend in the process of tooth surface wear in real time, and exhibits different sensitivity from the abrasive particle monitoring. However, the wear process of the gear system has obvious stages, and the interaction mechanism between the tooth surface wear and the dynamics behavior is complex, resulting in a complex nonlinear relationship between the tooth surface wear state and the vibration and abrasive particle characteristics and the sensitivity difference between the characteristics, and this mechanism complexity leads to the obvious difference in sensitivity of a single monitoring means in different wear stages, and increases the uncertainty of the wear state evaluation. Therefore, it is difficult to realize the comprehensive and accurate evaluation of the tooth surface wear state of the gear system by relying on a single monitoring means.

[0004] The multi-source sensing information fusion technology has significant potential in realizing the high reliability evaluation and life prediction of mechanical equipment, and provides a new idea for the wear state evaluation of the gear system. Compared with a single monitoring characteristic, the abrasive particle and vibration characteristics exhibit obvious complementarity in evaluating the tooth surface wear state, and the evaluation method fusing the two characteristics can effectively improve the accuracy and reliability of the evaluation. The current mainstream fusion method relies on the manual extraction of time-frequency characteristics (mean, kurtosis, etc.) and oil characteristics (concentration, morphology, etc.), and this subjective characteristic selection not only loses the detailed information of the original data, but also is difficult to capture the deep nonlinear correlation between the vibration waveform and the abrasive particle image. The existing feature layer or decision layer fusion architecture cannot directly utilize the complementary characteristics of the multi-source data due to the reliance on the prior knowledge to define the weight, resulting in a low early wear recognition rate and a high false alarm rate.

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further illustration of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0036] As described in the background, the existing fusion method needs to manually extract the features of different monitoring information for feature layer and decision layer fusion, which is greatly affected by human subjectivity, resulting in low diagnosis efficiency and poor accuracy. Compared with feature layer and decision layer fusion, data level fusion does not need to rely on human feature extraction, and directly processes and analyzes the vibration signals and oil images in the form of raw data, thereby avoiding the feature selection bias caused by subjective factors, mining the potential correlation between different data modalities, and better retaining the details and complex characteristics of the original information through data level fusion, so that the correlation and complementarity between features can be fully mined. In addition, data level fusion can also realize the deep integration of cross-modal information, provide more comprehensive data input for machine learning models, and further improve the accuracy and robustness of fault pattern recognition.

[0037] Some researchers have proposed a fault diagnosis method combining vibration, oil and noise feature fusion, aiming to improve the fault diagnosis ability of wind power gear speed increasing box under complex working conditions. This patent uses deep learning and DS evidence theory to fuse the non-stationary features of vibration signals, sound pressure level and frequency spectrum features of noise signals, and particle type and particle size distribution features of oil, and constructs a comprehensive evaluation model of fault state. However, the above research relies on multiple detection methods, including vibration, noise and oil sensing information, and does not conduct deep mining and optimization on a single information source, especially in the fineness of data fusion; some researchers have proposed a multi-source and multi-feature fusion diagnosis method for aero-engine main bearing faults, which uses multiple sensors (including vibration sensors, temperature sensors and acoustic sensors) to collect aero-engine main bearing operating state data, processes the monitoring data through signal denoising, feature extraction and machine learning algorithm, thereby realizing the detection and positioning of mechanical equipment faults. However, this research relies more on algorithm processing after feature extraction in the fusion of monitoring information, and does not involve the underlying fusion strategy of multi-sensor data; some researchers have proposed a method and test bench design for gear box fault diagnosis using multi-source sensor data fusion technology. This research collects the vibration signals, noise signals, temperature signals, displacement signals and oil data of the lubricating oil of the gear box, combines the multi-sensor data fusion technology based on BP neural network and D-S evidence theory, and realizes the diagnosis of gear box faults. However, this research mainly relies on feature level and decision level fusion, and does not focus on optimizing the synergy of vibration and lubricating oil monitoring information in data level fusion.

[0038] Therefore, the present application proposes a wind turbine gear box wear state evaluation method combining vibration and oil, as shown in Figure 1 The method comprises the following processes:

[0039] S101: Acquire the synchronously collected vibration signal of the wind turbine gearbox and a two-dimensional image of the abrasive ring used to characterize the change in abrasive particle concentration;

[0040] S102: The vibration signal of the wind turbine gearbox is converted into a time-frequency domain image using a Markov transfer field. The time-frequency domain image is resampled to obtain a vibration two-dimensional time-frequency image with the same pixels as the two-dimensional image of the abrasive ring.

[0041] S103: Downsample the two-dimensional image of the abrasive ring and the two-dimensional time-frequency diagram of the vibration respectively, fuse the downsampled two-dimensional image of the abrasive ring and the downsampled two-dimensional time-frequency diagram of the vibration, and upsample the fusion result;

[0042] S104: The wear condition assessment results are obtained based on the upsampling results.

[0043] In S101 of this implementation, specifically, it includes:

[0044] By conducting a full-life wear test on a wind turbine gearbox, and combining online vibration sensors and high-throughput online oil abrasive image monitoring sensors, real-time monitoring of the gearbox under different wear conditions is achieved. The vibration sensors and high-throughput online oil abrasive image monitoring sensors are used to synchronously collect the vibration characteristics and oil abrasive information of the gearbox under different wear conditions in real time. The collected data are then labeled according to the actual wear conditions to form a labeled vibration and oil abrasive dataset.

[0045] Specifically, S102 of this implementation includes:

[0046] In mechanical systems, the concentration of wear particles is directly proportional to the degree of wear of the friction pair. The higher the concentration of wear particles in the lubricating oil, the more severe the wear. A high-throughput online oil wear particle image monitoring sensor can directly acquire a two-dimensional image of the wear particle ring, characterizing changes in wear particle concentration. Simultaneously, the synchronously acquired vibration signal is one-dimensional time-series data, requiring data processing and spatial alignment with the wear particle image data to facilitate subsequent state evaluation of the intelligent network model. This invention uses a Markov transfer field (MTF) to convert the time-series vibration signal into a time-frequency domain image, and further resamples it to obtain a two-dimensional time-frequency vibration image with the same pixel count as the wear particle image. Specifically, this includes:

[0047] Signal discretization: Discretizing vibration signals Further discretization into a sequence of finite states Through quantization function Generate discrete state values:

[0048] (1);

[0049] in, For discrete interval boundaries, For state values, Representing the i-th discrete state value, Representing the i-th vibration signal value.

[0050] Transition probability matrix: use Markov chain model to calculate the transition probability between each state , describe the dynamic evolution characteristics of the time series signal:

[0051] (2);

[0052] Generate MTF time-frequency domain graph: by logarithmic transformation of the transition probability matrix, generate Markov transition field image (MTF) containing time domain and frequency domain information. The matrix after logarithmic transformation Has the following form:

[0053] (3);

[0054] Where, is a smoothing factor to avoid zero value problems in logarithmic calculation, and the row index and column index of the matrix Correspond to the horizontal coordinate (X axis, representing time) and vertical coordinate (Y axis, representing frequency) of the MTF image pixel respectively.

[0055] The generated Markov transition field image (MTF) is in the form of a two-dimensional image, which can effectively show the dynamic change characteristics of the vibration signal, and is convenient for subsequent intelligent diagnosis model to perform feature extraction and classification.

[0056] Time-frequency graph resampling: in order to ensure that the Markov transition field image (MTF) is the same as the oil abrasive particle image pixel, the Markov transition field image (MTF) is resampled using an interpolation algorithm to obtain a vibration two-dimensional time-frequency graph with the same pixel as the oil abrasive particle image.

[0057] In S103 and S104 in the present implementation, specifically, it includes:

[0058] The present application adopts U-Net network architecture to evaluate the wear state of wind power gear box. The U-Net architecture is composed of encoder (downsampling part), skip connection and decoder (upsampling part), which can effectively extract and fuse information from different modalities of vibration and oil. The model architecture is shown in Figure 2 , and the model design principles include:

[0059] Double-branch independent downsampling: vibration and oil branches are respectively subjected to 5 layers of downsampling, and the end features are fused;

[0060] Fusion position: channel concatenation after 5th layer downsampling (at minimum resolution);

[0061] Symmetric decoder: restore resolution by 5th layer upsampling, skip connection from the same layer encoder (i.e. first layer downsampling skip connection with first layer upsampling, second layer downsampling skip connection with second layer upsampling, third layer downsampling skip connection with third layer upsampling, fourth layer downsampling skip connection with fourth layer upsampling).

[0062] More specifically, the input includes data from two channels of vibration and oil:

[0063] Input 1: , representing a vibration two-dimensional time-frequency diagram generated by a vibration signal, H represents the height of the image, W represents the width of the image, and R represents the real number field;

[0064] Input 2: , representing an oil abrasive particle image;

[0065] The two inputs enter the respective independent encoder branches, and the encoder branches include five downsampling layers, each of which includes a 2D convolution layer (Conv2D), a maximum pooling (MaxPool) layer, etc.

[0066] The convolution block expression of the first layer is:

[0067] (4);

[0068] In the formula, is the output feature map of the first layer downsampling layer; represents a convolution operation for extracting oil / vibration signal features, etc. represents BatchNorm, i.e. batch normalization; is a ReLU activation function; and are the convolution kernel weights and bias of the first layer; the pooling operation uses maximum pooling to reduce the feature map size. The final extracted and output features of each branch are:

[0069]

[0070] (5);

[0071] (6);

[0072] wherein, 𝐶 represents the number of channels increasing layer by layer (for example: 16→32→64→128→256), represents the height of the output feature, ​​​width of the representative output feature, representing a two-dimensional time-frequency diagram of the vibration encoded output feature, representing an oil particle image encoded output feature.

[0073] After extracting the key features of vibration and oil through the double-branch network, deep feature fusion is performed at the minimum resolution to maximize the retention of global statistical correlation of vibration-oil and avoid local noise interference caused by early fusion (such as misjudgment of oil bubbles as wear). The fused feature map is used as the input of the decoder, and the fused feature is represented as:

[0074] (7);

[0075] The decoder performs upsampling and classification reconstruction on the fused feature map. The decoder uses transposed convolution (Transposed) and jump connection to reconstruct spatial features. Through the deconvolution layer, the spatial resolution of the oil / vibration image is gradually restored for learning the correlation between oil / vibration features and wear state. Among them, the deconvolution operation of the first layer is:

[0076] (8);

[0077] wherein, is the transposed convolution, denotes the transposed convolution, is the convolution kernel weight and bias of the first layer, and the pooling operation uses maximum pooling to reduce the feature map size, and the output size is restored layer by layer (e.g., 256→128→64→32→16).

[0078] The same layer features in the encoder are spliced with the deconvolution results of the current layer of the decoder to enhance the edge and spatial semantic information, which is represented as:

[0079] (9);

[0080] The output layer adopts a four-level progressive feature compression and classification architecture, and its method flow is as follows:

[0081] The spatial aggregation layer (feature compression) performs global spatial aggregation on the three-dimensional feature tensor output by the decoder to generate a channel feature vector:

[0082] (10);

[0083] wherein, denotes the feature value of the th channel at position . ​

[0084] The dense layer maps the feature vector processed by the spatial aggregation layer to a hidden representation space through linear transformation, which is used to further learn the association between the "wear state" and the "image feature", and can be expressed as:

[0085] (11);

[0086] wherein, is the output vector of the spatial aggregation layer; and is the weight and bias of the dense layer.

[0087] In the wind turbine gearbox wear data scenario, the dropout layer is used to effectively alleviate the overfitting problem of the model in the training set, and to improve the generalization ability of identifying different wear stages of the wind turbine gearbox, which can be expressed as:

[0088] (12);

[0089] wherein, is the dropout probability.

[0090] The softmax layer converts the real number vector output by the dense layer into a multi-class probability distribution, and each value represents the probability that the input sample belongs to a certain class (wear degree), which can be expressed as:

[0091] (13);

[0092] wherein, is the probability of belonging to the class (such as severe wear); represents the number of categories of classification, which is 4 (running-in, mild, abnormal, severe) in the present application, represents the result of the dropout layer processing of the wear state, , represents the result of the dropout layer processing of the wear state.

[0093] The model training process constructed by the present application adopts the cross-entropy loss function, which is used to learn the feature distribution of the running-in, mild, abnormal and severe wear states of the gearbox;

[0094] (14);

[0095] wherein, is the real label encoding.

[0096] In order to make the network find the optimal solution of wear state recognition faster, the application uses Adam to update optimization, which can be expressed as:

[0097] (15);

[0098] In the formula, is the weight of the first step; indicates the learning rate; , respectively, the first order momentum (mean) and the second order momentum (square mean) of the gradient; indicates a minimum constant to prevent division by zero.

[0099] After the model training is completed, the model prediction accuracy is evaluated through the fan gear box validation set data, and the main evaluation indexes include wear feature classification accuracy, confusion matrix and the like. Through these evaluation indexes, the accuracy of the model in the actual application process to the different wear stages of the gear box can be prepared and evaluated, the model performance can be optimized, and a basis can be provided for wear state classification.

[0100] The wind turbine gear box wear state evaluation method based on oil particle and vibration multi-source information fusion analysis of the application comprises the steps of collecting gear box vibration and oil particle signals, preprocessing signals, building an intelligent model network, and evaluating the health state of sample data. Figure 1

[0101] Firstly, the application carries out a full life cycle wear test of a wind turbine gear box test bench, and collects full life cycle monitoring signals through an acceleration vibration sensor and a high-throughput oil particle image online monitoring sensor. The experimental duration is 284 hours, and vibration and oil online monitoring data are automatically and synchronously collected at intervals of 20 minutes during the experimental duration, and 851 groups of data are accumulated. During the monitoring process, the vibration signal sampling frequency is 2.56 kHz, and the sampling time length is 3 s. The oil particle ring image can be directly generated through a high-throughput oil particle image online monitoring sensor CMOS1 imaging system. These data cover the complete process of the gear system from the running-in period, normal wear, abnormal wear to severe wear.

[0102] Secondly, according to the sampling frequency and sampling time of the vibration signal, 7680 data points of each vibration signal can be calculated within 3 seconds. 7680 data points (sampling frequency 2.56 kHz) collected within 3 seconds are discretized into 5 state intervals (contour coefficient 0.81) through K-means clustering, and a 5*5 Markov transition matrix is generated. In order to retain the state transition probability characteristics, a two-step interpolation method is used, first, the matrix is expanded to 16*16 through cubic interpolation, and then pixel replication is used to enlarge to 64*64 and pair with the oil image. ​

[0103] Again, the application divides the processed 851 vibration time-frequency maps and wear particle pattern samples according to the actual wear state of the gearbox, and divides them into 4 categories of wear states. According to the wear stage, it is divided into 16 groups of running-in period, 644 groups of light wear, 116 groups of abnormal wear and 72 groups of severe wear. In order to alleviate the imbalance of categories, stratified sampling is used (75% of each category): 12 groups of running-in, 483 groups of light wear, 87 groups of abnormal wear and 54 groups of severe wear, a total of 596 groups; the remaining 255 groups of data are used as the test set, 4 groups of running-in, 161 groups of light wear, 29 groups of abnormal wear and 18 groups of severe wear, to verify the accuracy and robustness of the method.

[0104] Finally, a dual-channel encoder design (vibration branch / oil branch) is adopted, and each branch contains 5 levels of feature extraction layers; each level of down-sampling layer adopts a composite structure of "3x3 convolution→batch normalization→ReLU→2x2 max pooling"; the number of channels increases exponentially (16→32→64→128→256), which controls the computational complexity while ensuring the depth of feature extraction.

[0105] After the 5th layer of down-sampling (feature map size 2x2x256), feature splicing is performed; 1x1 convolution is used for cross-channel information interaction, and the spliced 512-dimensional features are reduced to 256-dimensional. The decoder gradually recovers the resolution through 5 layers of transpose convolution, and is connected with the encoder features of the same layer through jump connection, and finally outputs 64x64x16 of the reconstructed features.

[0106] The model training uses Adam optimizer, the initial learning rate is set to , the momentum parameters , . The loss function selects the cross-entropy loss function to accurately distinguish the four states of running-in, light wear, abnormal wear and severe wear. In order to prevent overfitting, Dropout regularization (dropout rate 20%) is used in the training process and the early stopping mechanism is set: when the validation set loss decreases by less than for 10 consecutive epochs, the training is automatically terminated, and the maximum training period is limited to 500 times.

[0107] In the model evaluation stage, the reserved 255 independent test samples are used to verify the performance. Through the calculation of overall classification accuracy, the precision and recall of each category and other quantitative indicators, and the combination of confusion matrix, the recognition ability of the model in different wear stages is comprehensively evaluated.

[0108] In order to highlight the advantages of the multi-source data fusion method proposed in the application, the performance of the single-modal model using only vibration signals or oil wear particle images is tested simultaneously, as shown in Figure 3 In the confusion matrix, the horizontal axis is the real wear state of the gearbox, and the vertical axis is the wear state evaluated by the model, Figure 3(A) in (A) is a schematic diagram corresponding to multi-source data fusion (accuracy 97%), Figure 3 (B) in (B) is a schematic diagram corresponding to vibration signal (accuracy 71%), Figure 3 (C) in (C) is a schematic diagram corresponding to oil particle (accuracy 79%). Figure 3 The numbers in each cell of the table represent how many times the system evaluates as another state when the true state is a certain state. The numbers on the diagonal of the table represent the number of times the system evaluates correctly, and the numbers in other cells represent the number of times the system evaluates incorrectly.

[0109] The experimental results show that the dual-branch fusion model of the application achieves a recognition accuracy of 97% on the test set, which is significantly improved compared to the single-modal model method (vibration about 71%, oil about 79%), verifying the effectiveness of the data-level fusion strategy.

[0110] The experimental results show that the method proposed in the application has better recognition accuracy and robustness compared to traditional single-oil and single-vibration signal analysis methods, and its successful application will provide more reliable and efficient technical support for health monitoring and fault diagnosis of mechanical equipment.
