Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of liquid aero-engine fault diagnosis, and relates to an adaptive weak feature extraction method and related devices for liquid rocket engines. Background Art
[0002] Liquid rocket engines are crucial for space travel. The successful full-scale test run of a 500tf liquid oxygen / kerosene rocket engine marks a new milestone in liquid propulsion technology for spaceflight, but also presents new challenges for the safety and reliability of rocket launches. The new generation of high-thrust liquid rocket engines boasts not only greater power but also more complex structures and more extreme operating conditions. Accidents often result in severe economic losses and casualties. Therefore, the importance of rocket engine fault diagnosis is self-evident. However, liquid rocket engines generate a large amount of signal data during operation, such as vibration, pressure, and temperature. These signals are often accompanied by complex noise and nonlinear characteristics. Furthermore, extensive test runs and rocket flight tests of high-pressure staged-fire liquid oxygen / kerosene engines have demonstrated that potential danger points in engine operation often occur during turbopump startup and operating condition adjustment, a critical stage for the initiation and propagation of many liquid rocket engine faults. These fault signatures often exist amidst strong interference, making them difficult to detect. Therefore, effectively extracting these subtle fault signatures presents a key technical challenge.
[0003] Advanced time-frequency analysis methods are an excellent way to accurately and quickly detect fault characteristics of signals from large equipment, such as liquid rocket engines, under complex operating conditions. However, current time-frequency analysis methods (such as synchronous compression transform and its improved method) are not ideal for extracting the rapidly varying weak harmonics and their changing characteristics in strong interfering vibration signals. In practical applications, large-scale mechanical equipment often undergoes complex rapid startup and shutdown processes and operating condition changes, which often leads to the neglect of subtle anomalies and operating state changes in the mechanical system. Even with the use of these advanced time-frequency analysis methods, the diagnostic effect on large equipment such as liquid rocket engines remains unsatisfactory, and the instantaneous frequency and its changing patterns of these complex rapidly varying signals cannot be effectively characterized. Therefore, it is necessary to develop more advanced time-frequency analysis methods that target the characteristics and changing patterns of weak rapidly varying harmonics in complex signals to meet the fault diagnosis needs of large equipment.

[0050] Example 1
[0051] To address the current situation where weak fault features of liquid rocket engines are not obvious and cannot be quickly and accurately extracted, the vibration signal contains complex and rapidly changing amplitude and frequency modulation features and weak features. Even with the most advanced time-frequency analysis method - synchronous compression transform and its improved methods (such as FSST and FSST2), it is still difficult to effectively characterize the instantaneous frequency and its changing law of the complex and rapidly changing signals. The present invention proposes a weak feature adaptive extraction method. First, the collected signal is subjected to a second-order synchronous compression transform based on short-time Fourier transform to achieve time-frequency rearrangement and preliminarily improve energy concentration. Secondly, a combination function of superelliptic function, rectangular function and exponential function is constructed to obtain the function value change law, and a sign function is introduced to distinguish high-energy features before and after the transformation. Then, the specific value or value range of the parameter is obtained by the restriction condition of the combination function. Finally, the constructed combination function is multiplied by the result of the second-order synchronous compression transform to obtain an energy function, which further realizes the enhancement and sharpening of the time-frequency features of the non-stationary signal. By setting a threshold, the adaptive change effect of enhancing low-energy features, maintaining medium-energy features and suppressing high-energy features is achieved.
[0052] Specifically, the adaptive weak feature extraction method for a liquid rocket engine according to the present invention comprises the following steps:
[0053] 1) Perform second-order synchronous compression transformation on the collected signal to achieve time-frequency rearrangement and obtain the characteristic expression of the signal for:
[0054]
[0055] 2) In order to increase the function value and thus achieve energy enhancement, based on the characteristic expression of the signal Construct the superelliptic function D1 as:
[0056]
[0057] in,
[0058]
[0059] Where T0 is the selected first threshold parameter, T(u,ξ) is the second-order synchronous compression transform, is the abbreviation of , α and m are parameters.
[0060] 3) In order to keep the function value unchanged and thus achieve energy conservation, a rectangular function Rect(T0, T1) is constructed:
[0061]
[0062] Wherein, T1 is the selected second threshold parameter.
[0063] 4) In order to make the value of the rectangular function Rect(T0, T1) approach 0, thereby achieving energy suppression, an exponential function D2 is constructed:
[0064]
[0065] Among them, β and k are parameters.
[0066] 5) For the original high energy features and energy enhanced features, by introducing the sign function To distinguish the two, the sign function is:
[0067]
[0068] 6) To achieve adaptive changes in function values, combine the above functions into a combined function D, and we get:
[0069]
[0070] 7) Pass the following conditions:
[0071] 7a) When T=0, the function D1 has a value of 0;
[0072] 7b) When T=T0, the function D1 has a value of 1, that is: Find the parameters α and m.
[0073] 8) Pass the following conditions:
[0074] 8a) When T=0, the function D2 has a value of 0;
[0075] 8b) When T=T1, the function D2 has a value of 1, that is: Find the parameters β and k.
[0076] 9) Multiply the combined function D with the result of the second-order synchronous compression transformation to obtain the energy function U:
[0077]
[0078] By selecting the threshold parameters T0 and T1 and substituting them into the energy function U, the extraction of adaptive weak features is finally achieved.
