Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aero-engine testing and fault diagnosis, and relates to fault location technology for rotating engine components, specifically to a method and system for identifying fault characteristics of rotating components in the absence of a tachometer. Background Technology
[0002] Under harsh service environments such as high temperature, high pressure, and heavy load, rotating components of aero engines, such as rotors, bearings, and accessory gears, are prone to localized damage that can continue to spread. Failure to detect this damage in a timely manner can lead to serious economic losses or even safety risks. Therefore, the extraction of early fault characteristics of rotating components on aero engines is of great significance for aero engine operational status perception and maintenance decision-making.
[0003] Compared to general rotating mechanical systems, the operating conditions of aero engines differ in the following ways:
[0004] 1. Variable speed operating conditions: The flight mission profiles of aero engines, such as climb, acceleration, roll, and descent, are all typical variable speed operating conditions;
[0005] 2. Application scenarios without tachometers: Due to limitations in installation space or harsh service environments, there are application scenarios where it is impossible to install a tachometer.
[0006] 3. Strong noise interference environment leads to weak fault features: During operation, aero-engines are affected by strong aerodynamic, vibration, and combustion noise. Fault features of rotating components can be submerged in the strong background noise, making it difficult to extract weak fault features. Currently, the main methods for characterizing fault features of rotating components under variable speed conditions include order tracking, envelope order spectrum, and order spectrum correlation. These methods are easily affected by noise signals, weakening their effectiveness in extracting fault features in early damage or strong background noise environments.
[0007] In recent years, a wealth of sparse representation models for fault characteristic signals of rotating components have been constructed for constant speed operating conditions. However, the fault characteristics under variable speed operating conditions are different from those under constant speed operating conditions, making it difficult to directly apply these methods to variable speed operating conditions. The construction of a few sparse representation models requires the use of the rotor's instantaneous rotational frequency signal and the optimization calculation of a large number of undetermined parameters, resulting in low computational efficiency and making it difficult to apply to application scenarios without a tachometer.
[0008] Therefore, designing a method for identifying variable speed fault characteristics that is easy to implement, consumes few resources, and is not limited by noise, and is applicable to the absence of rotational speed fields, is of great engineering significance for the diagnosis of aero-engine shaft faults.
