[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the physical information at different preset locations of the pipeline includes:

[0025] The physical information at different preset locations on the pipeline is represented by the differential pressure deviation amplitude coefficient and the mechanical acoustic spectrum measurement coefficient;

[0026] The logic for obtaining the differential pressure deviation amplitude coefficient is as follows: collect the time series of differential pressure data within the monitoring interval at a preset location in the pipeline, perform stationary processing on the differential pressure data time series, that is, perform multiple differences on the series until it is considered stationary after passing the unit root test, estimate the autoregression order and moving average order in ARIMA using the least squares method, and obtain an ARIMA model with fixed structure and parameters through model validation.

To monitor the actual differential pressure data time series within the monitoring range, This represents the predicted pressure difference value of the ARIMA model at time point q.

[0047] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings;

[0048] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a real-time lubricating oil condition monitoring method based on machine learning according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0049] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a real-time lubricating oil condition monitoring method based on machine learning according to the present invention, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0052] S1: After the lubricating oil system enters a stable working state, the static features in the oil tank are collected as input, and the probability distribution of oil tank failure level is used as the output of the fuzzy Bayesian neural network model to construct the fuzzy Bayesian neural network model. The static features in the oil tank include viscosity health index, temperature index and particle concentration of different particle sizes.

[0053] S2: Based on the output of the fuzzy Bayesian neural network model within the monitoring interval, the probability values ​​of different fault levels within the monitoring interval are comprehensively analyzed to determine the state of the lubricating oil in the tank.

[0054] S3: Based on the dynamic characteristics of the lubricating oil in the pipeline, collect physical information and risk information at preset locations in the pipeline, and conduct a comprehensive analysis of the physical information and risk information at different preset locations in the pipeline to determine the state of the lubricating oil in the pipeline;

[0055] S4: Based on the quantitative state of lubricating oil in the tank and pipeline, the state of lubricating oil in the tank and pipeline is analyzed according to the trained neural network model to realize the early warning function of lubricating oil state.

[0056] After the lubricating oil system enters a stable operating state, the collected data is evaluated. The criteria for judging a stable operating state include the system temperature reaching a stable range, small fluctuations in equipment load, stable pipeline flow, and the oil tank meeting static conditions.

[0057] Lubricating oil is forced to flow in pipelines at high velocities, often entering laminar or turbulent flow states. Pressure fluctuations, shear stress, eddies, and pulsations are very obvious. Therefore, the characteristics of lubricating oil collected in pipelines are usually dynamic. In contrast, the oil in the tank is basically static or has only very weak natural convection, without obvious flow shear and pulsations. The main focus is on static or slowly changing characteristics such as temperature stratification, oil-water interface, water sedimentation, and suspended particles.

[0058] In pipelines, the focus is on faults directly related to flow characteristics, such as abnormal flow resistance, cavitation / cavitation, and particulate blockage. In oil tanks, the emphasis is on detecting oil contamination, oil-water separation, thermal separation, and physicochemical changes after long periods of stagnation. These are manifested as slow drifts in concentration distribution, oil level changes, and temperature gradients.

[0059] Since the oil in the tank is basically static or only has very weak natural convection, and there is often ambiguity in actual annotation, the static features in the tank are collected as input and fed into the fuzzy Bayesian neural network.

[0060] It should be noted that fuzzy representation maps features in the fuel tank that cannot be precisely divided by a single threshold into a set of membership degrees that "belong to a certain semantic category to some extent" through fuzzy sets and membership functions. This preserves both numerical information and the ability of experts to make qualitative judgments such as "slightly high", "medium", and "low" in the neural network.

[0061] The static features in the fuel tank include viscosity health index, temperature index, and particle concentration of different sizes. By using viscosity health index, temperature index, and particle concentration of different sizes as input features of fuzzy Bayesian neural network, the probability distribution of fuel tank failure level is used as the output of fuzzy Bayesian neural network model.

[0062] Specifically, the particle concentrations of different sizes are measured using sensors with particle size resolution capabilities. This means the sensors can statistically analyze the particle concentration of the lubricating oil within each particle size range of the monitoring interval in the oil tank. By setting monitoring intervals, the particle concentration of the lubricating oil within each particle size range of the monitoring interval in the oil tank is labeled as follows: Where i = 1, 2, 3, ..., I, I is a positive integer, and i is the number of the particle size segment;

[0063] It should be noted that the monitoring interval is a specific time period set by professionals in the field. The monitoring interval can be set according to the specific operating status, that is, each operating cycle can be used as a monitoring interval.

[0064] The logic for obtaining the viscosity health index is as follows: obtain the viscosity data within the monitoring range in the oil tank, and mark the viscosity data within the monitoring range in the oil tank as: m = 1, 2, 3, ..., M, where M is a positive integer and m is the sampling number within the monitoring interval;

[0065] Offline GMM modeling is performed. In offline GMM modeling, different types of viscosity data in the oil tank are obtained based on the training data. The different viscosity data include the viscosity data of new oil, the viscosity data of slightly deteriorated oil, and the viscosity data of severely deteriorated oil. The number of components K is set, where K is a modeling parameter, indicating how many different Gaussian sub-distributions are considered to constitute the reading distribution in a GMM fitting. The GMM is fitted by the EM algorithm to complete the offline GMM modeling.

[0066] It should be noted that the different types of viscosity data are set by professionals in the field. The number of components K in the GMM can be preset to the number of types. By training the GMM model, the number of components K with the smallest error can be obtained.

[0067] The liability score is calculated using the trained GMM parameters. The viscosity data within the monitoring range of the oil tank is used to calculate the liability score for different implicit components based on the trained GMM parameters, and the liability scores for different implicit components are labeled as follows: ,in, , Let be the weight corresponding to the k-th hidden component, representing the proportion belonging to the k-th state. The viscosity average value under the k-th implicit component. The viscosity variance under the k-th implicit component;

[0068] The viscosity health index is calculated using the following formula: ;in, For viscosity health index, The health weights are for different components k.

[0069] It should be noted that, These are parameters obtained by fitting the EM algorithm during offline GMM training, and are used in online monitoring. It remains unchanged and is directly used for liability calculation;

[0070] Viscosity data are continuous numerical measurements, but they often do not come from a single, homogeneous oil state. Instead, they are a mixture of various "operating conditions" or "oil aging degrees." For example, in a sampling interval, some new oils have not yet begun to deteriorate, some oils have already deteriorated slightly, and some oils may have already deteriorated severely. These three situations each produce a slightly different set of viscosity reading distributions, but we cannot see their labels (new, slightly, severely) in the data. These are called "implicit states."

[0071] The analysis of hidden states helps to capture multimodal distributions. That is, if all viscosity values ​​are directly treated as the same mode for modeling, a single Gaussian or linear model often does not fit well when there are multiple oil states. By introducing hidden states, multiple Gaussian distributions can be used to fit the viscosity mode of each state, and the overall distribution can fit the "multi-peak" or "long-tail" distribution well.

[0072] The logic for obtaining the temperature index is as follows: Obtain the temperature data within the monitoring range of the fuel tank; fit the temperature data within the monitoring range of the fuel tank to time; determine the change function of the temperature data within the monitoring range over time; and label the change function of the temperature data within the monitoring range over time as: ;

[0073] The temperature index is calculated using the following formula: ;in, Temperature index This refers to the time period during operation when the temperature exceeds the set threshold.

[0074] It should be noted that after the equipment is started, the lubricating oil is heated by heat conduction from components such as the engine and gearbox. When the equipment stops running, the lubricating oil gradually cools down. Therefore, the temperature of the lubricating oil in the tank will change, and the lubricating oil will deteriorate rapidly in a high-temperature environment. If the temperature exceeds a certain threshold, it means that the condition has deteriorated and should be regarded as a negative indicator in the health index.

[0075] By using viscosity health index, temperature index, and particle concentration of different sizes as inputs to a fuzzy Bayesian neural network model, and the probability distribution of tank failure levels as the output, the input space is divided into fuzzy regions using fuzzy rules. The output of the fuzzy Bayesian neural network model is then divided into different failure levels: no failure, low failure, medium failure, and high failure. The output of the fuzzy Bayesian neural network model is represented as: P, , This represents the probability value for a fault-free rating. This represents the probability value for a low failure level. This represents the probability value for a medium-level fault. The probability value for a high fault level is represented by the sample dataset of the fuzzy Bayesian neural network model as follows: , .

[0076] Based on the output of the fuzzy Bayesian neural network model within the monitoring interval, the probability values ​​of different fault levels within the monitoring interval are weighted and summed to obtain the fuel tank fault rating coefficient. The formula for calculating the fuel tank fault rating coefficient is as follows: ;in, This is the fuel tank failure rating coefficient. This is the proportionality coefficient representing the probability value of the fault-free level. This is a proportionality coefficient representing the probability value of a low failure level. This is the proportionality coefficient for the probability value of a medium-level fault. These are the proportional coefficients for high failure levels. .

[0077] Since the lubricating oil in the pipeline is in a dynamic state, the dynamic characteristics in the pipeline are collected to assess the health status of the lubricating oil. The dynamic characteristics include physical information and risk information. The physical information is represented by the differential pressure deviation amplitude coefficient and the mechanical acoustic spectrum measurement coefficient, and the risk information is represented by the particle deposition risk assessment coefficient.

[0078] Points to note when using the differential pressure deviation amplitude coefficient include:

[0079] Different pressure differentials at different locations in a pipeline can be caused by factors such as different pipeline geometries, different lubricating oil flow rates, and increased local resistance due to wear, blockage, or contamination. Therefore, it is necessary to pre-install differential pressure sensors at key locations in the system, collect and model the differential pressure data at each location to reflect its unique dynamic behavior, and achieve multi-dimensional, distributed health monitoring of the lubrication system.

[0080] Under normal operating conditions, the differential pressure data at a fixed location in the pipeline will not fluctuate significantly or irregularly. Instead, it will typically fluctuate slightly around a stable mean, thus giving the differential pressure data at that location a time series stationarity or quasi-stationarity.

[0081] Pressure differential data from fixed locations exhibits time-series stationarity. By using the ARIMA model to model and predict pressure differential data from the same collection point and leveraging the regularities in historical data, abnormal fluctuations or trend changes can be effectively identified, thus aiding in health status assessment.

[0082] The logic for obtaining the differential pressure deviation amplitude coefficient is as follows: collect the time series of differential pressure data within the monitoring interval at a preset location in the pipeline, perform stationary processing on the differential pressure data time series, that is, perform multiple differences on the series until it is considered stationary after passing the unit root test, estimate the autoregression order and moving average order in ARIMA using the least squares method, and obtain an ARIMA model with fixed structure and parameters through model validation.

[0083] Using the ARIMA model at a preset location, the time series of differential pressure data obtained within the monitoring interval is input into the ARIMA model to obtain the differential pressure prediction value. By comparing the model prediction value with the actual observed value, the differential pressure deviation amplitude coefficient is calculated.

[0084] The formula for calculating the differential pressure deviation amplitude coefficient is: ;in, Here, q represents the differential pressure deviation amplitude coefficient, where q = 1, 2, 3, ..., Q, where Q is a positive integer and q represents the index of the differential pressure data sampled at different time points within the monitoring interval. To monitor the actual differential pressure data time series within the monitoring range, This represents the predicted pressure difference value of the ARIMA model at time point q.

[0085] As can be seen from the formula, the larger the differential pressure deviation amplitude coefficient, the more the current differential pressure deviates from the historical pattern, and there may be problems such as blockage, leakage, or abnormal wear. Conversely, the closer the differential pressure deviation amplitude coefficient is to 0, the closer the current differential pressure is to the predicted value, and the more stable the system state is.

[0086] Among the points to note regarding the mechanical acoustic spectrum metric coefficients are:

[0087] When the lubricating oil is in good condition, the moving parts are adequately lubricated, friction is low, and the high-frequency components in the vibration / sound spectrum are weak. When the lubricating oil deteriorates or impurities increase, friction increases, high-frequency noise and vibration energy increase significantly, and the proportion of high-frequency energy increases significantly.

[0088] High-frequency energy mainly comes from rapid transient phenomena such as impact of tiny particles, cavitation, and local faults in lubricating oil. Therefore, by collecting sound waves caused by particles, bubbles, or abnormal vibrations during the oil flow process, it can serve as an important indicator for lubricating oil performance degradation and system fault early warning.

[0089] The logic for obtaining the mechanical acoustic spectrum coefficients is as follows: Acoustic signals within a monitoring interval at a preset location in the pipeline are collected; the acoustic signals at the preset location are then subjected to Fourier transform to obtain the spectrum S(f). Where f is the frequency, The acoustic signal at a predetermined location in the pipeline;

[0090] The mechanical spectral metric coefficient is calculated by dividing the low-frequency and high-frequency thresholds. The calculation formula is as follows: ;in, For mechanical acoustic spectrum measurement coefficients. , For low-frequency thresholds, For high-frequency band thresholds, The natural frequency of the structure, This refers to the abnormal frequency band generated by impurities or wear debris in the oil impacting the pipe wall and by friction of the lubricating oil.

[0091] It should be noted that the acoustic signal is obtained by installing an acoustic sensor at a preset location. The spectrum is divided into "low frequency band" and "high frequency band" and corresponding thresholds are set. This is mainly to more accurately separate the components generated by different physical mechanisms in the signal, and then extract more targeted and reliable health monitoring features. The low frequency band mainly includes macroscopic motion features such as the overall mechanical resonance of the system, rotational speed-related components, and fluid pulsation. The high frequency band mainly includes transient impact signals such as microscopic friction of lubricating oil, particle impact, and cavitation bubble collapse.

[0092] As can be seen from the formula, the larger the mechanical acoustic spectrum metric coefficient, the higher the proportion of high-frequency components in the overall spectrum, indicating that there may be deterioration of lubricating oil, increased pollution, or minor faults in the system.

[0093] Among the points to note in the particle deposition risk assessment coefficient are:

[0094] Since particles of different sizes have different effects on the lubricating oil operating system, the impact of particles on different components is obtained based on the differences in the impact of particles on different parts of the pipeline. The risk assessment coefficient can comprehensively consider the particle concentration and its impact differences in different particle size segments, improve the ability to characterize the real risks. Different particle sizes have different damage mechanisms to equipment, and risk modeling based on segmented sensitivity is realized.

[0095] The logic for obtaining the particle deposition risk assessment coefficient is as follows: based on the particles of different particle sizes of lubricating oil at preset positions in the pipeline within the monitoring interval, determine the impact of particles of different particle sizes on the operating status, and obtain the impact score of particles of different particle sizes based on the impact of particles of different particle sizes on the operating status.

[0096] It should be noted that solid particles of different sizes have different mechanisms of influence on friction, wear, and flow resistance in a lubrication system. Therefore, their "degree of harm" or "indicative significance" to the operating state also varies. For example, particles with a diameter range of 1–4 μm undergo Brownian motion with the oil film and are relatively stable, so their impact is small. Particles with a diameter range greater than 14 μm move with the fluid impact and are prone to particle collision, causing impact wear. Therefore, segmented monitoring of the concentration of each particle size can not only quantitatively assess the overall contamination level, but also distinguish different types of wear and failure modes, and provide accurate information for targeted maintenance and lubrication management.

[0097] Based on the particles of different sizes collected at preset locations in the pipeline within the monitoring interval, the impact scores and concentrations of particles of different sizes are used as input features of the logistic regression model, and the particle deposition risk assessment coefficient is used as the output feature of the logistic regression model to construct the logistic regression model and generate the particle deposition risk assessment coefficient.

[0098] The expression for the particle deposition risk assessment coefficient is as follows:

[0099] ;

[0100] in, This is the particle deposition risk assessment coefficient. The weights of particles of different sizes, The influence of particles of different particle sizes is scored, with e as the base.

[0101] As can be seen from the formula, the larger the particle deposition risk assessment coefficient, the higher the concentration of particles of different sizes at the preset location in the pipeline, which may pose a potential hazard. Conversely, the smaller the particle deposition risk assessment coefficient, the lower the concentration of particles of different sizes at the preset location in the pipeline, which may have a smaller impact on the machinery.

[0102] Based on dynamic characteristics, a comprehensive analysis of physical and risk information at predetermined locations within the pipeline is performed. The pressure difference deviation amplitude coefficient, mechanical acoustic spectrum coefficient, and particle deposition risk assessment coefficient are weighted and summed to construct a pipeline location assessment model and generate pipeline location assessment coefficients. The formula for calculating the pipeline location assessment coefficients is as follows: ;in, Let be the pipeline position evaluation coefficient at the preset position j, where j = 1, 2, 3, ..., J, J is a positive integer, and j is the number of the preset position in the pipeline. , , These are the proportional coefficients for the differential pressure deviation amplitude coefficient, the mechanical acoustic spectrum measurement coefficient, and the particle deposition risk assessment coefficient, respectively. , , All are greater than 0.

[0103] As can be seen from the formula, the larger the differential pressure deviation amplitude coefficient, the mechanical acoustic spectrum measurement coefficient, and the particle deposition risk assessment coefficient, the larger the pipeline position assessment coefficient at the preset location in the pipeline, indicating that there is a greater possibility of a fault at the preset location in the pipeline.
