Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of rotating mechanical system fault detection, and in particular relates to a sliding bearing fault feature extraction method based on synchronous energy entropy (SEE). Background Art
[0002] Sliding bearings are key components in rotating machinery systems, such as engines and generators. Their health directly impacts the performance of these systems and can even cause equipment downtime. To ensure the safe operation of rotating machinery systems using sliding bearings, real-time monitoring of their health is essential.
[0003] During the operation of sliding bearings, a highly harmful self-excited vibration often occurs, namely oil film vortex. The vibration frequency of oil film vortex is about half the rotational frequency of the shaft, so oil film vortex is also called half-speed vortex.
[0004] Currently, researchers have proposed various entropy concepts, such as approximate entropy, sample entropy, fuzzy entropy, permutation entropy, and energy entropy. Based on these entropy methods, various rotating machinery fault feature extraction and fault detection methods have been proposed. Patent No. 2023103945416 discloses a fault feature extraction method based on multi-scale permutation entropy and a kurtosis value fusion factor. While this method can extract rolling bearing fault information, it may not be able to extract oil film vortex fault information in sliding bearings. Patent No. 2021110169321 discloses a rolling bearing operating condition assessment method based on EEMD energy entropy. This method uses EEMD energy entropy as a fault signature to characterize rolling bearing faults. While this method can identify bearing fault states, its computational cost is relatively high, making it unsuitable for real-time detection of high-speed bearing faults. Patent No. 2024110253664 discloses a bearing fault diagnosis method based on wavelet packet energy entropy, which is used to extract bearing fault features. The calculation of wavelet packet energy entropy requires signal processing using both ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and wavelet packet decomposition. Wavelet packet decomposition requires the selection of appropriate wavelet basis functions. Inappropriate wavelet basis functions not only reduce the fault diagnosis accuracy of this method but can also lead to erroneous diagnostic results. Furthermore, this method is computationally expensive, making it unsuitable for real-time detection of high-speed bearing faults.
[0005] Considering that the frequency of oil film vortex faults is generally half the shaft rotational frequency, this patent proposes a method for extracting the characteristics of oil film vortex faults in sliding bearings based on synchronous energy entropy. This method not only reliably extracts the characteristics of oil film vortex faults in sliding bearings, but also has low computational cost and can be used for real-time fault detection and diagnosis. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the above problems, the present invention proposes a method for extracting the characteristics of sliding bearing oil film vortex faults based on synchronous energy entropy. By extracting two synchronous energy entropies, this method can reliably characterize the sliding bearing oil film vortex fault.

[0081] In this embodiment, the number M of synchronous sampling points per rotation of the rotating shaft is set to 100, and the number N of rotations of the rotating shaft is set to 10.
[0082] Furthermore, the implementation process of step (2) is as follows: using the shaft speed signal as a reference signal, according to the number of synchronous sampling points M and the shaft rotation number N set in step (1), a vibration sensor is used to obtain synchronous vibration data X,
[0083] X={x(1),x(2),x(3)...x(MN)}.
[0084] In this embodiment, the synchronous vibration data obtained is as follows: Figure 2 and 3 shown. Figure 2 shows the synchronous vibration data of the plain bearing when it is healthy, and Figure 3 The synchronous vibration data of a sliding bearing with oil film whirl failure is shown. It is difficult to distinguish the healthy and faulty states of the bearing from the synchronous vibration data.
[0085] Furthermore, the implementation process of step (3) is as follows:
[0086] The Z-score standardization method is used to standardize the synchronous vibration data X to obtain the standardized synchronous vibration data Y.
[0087]
[0088] Where μ represents the mean of the synchronous vibration data X, and σ represents the standard deviation of the synchronous vibration data X.
[0089] The synchronous vibration data after normalization are as follows: Figure 4 and 5 As shown in the figure, we can see that the two sets of data are unified to the same scale and have a mean of zero.
[0090] Furthermore, the implementation process of step (4) is as follows:
[0091] According to the number of synchronous sampling points M per rotation of the shaft, the standardized synchronous vibration data Y is reconstructed into M-dimensional synchronous vibration data Z. The reconstructed M-dimensional synchronous vibration data Z is shown as follows:

[0107]
[0108] Furthermore, the implementation process of step (7) is as follows:
[0109] For the M-dimensional synchronous vibration data Z, the data in the i+1th column is subtracted from the data in the ith column to obtain the data D.
[0110]
[0111] In the process of calculating the data D, the data in the i+1th column may be subtracted from the data in the i-th column.

[0117]
[0118] According to the relative energy data Calculate the second synchronization energy entropy SEE2,
[0119]
[0120] Furthermore, the implementation process of step (9) is as follows:
[0121] The two calculated synchronous energy entropies SEE1 and SEE2 are regarded as two fault characteristics of the sliding bearing.
[0122] When applied, the two fault characteristics are compared with the thresholds of the fault state and the healthy state to determine whether it is in a healthy or faulty state.
[0123] In the embodiment, the two fault features SEE1 and SEE2 extracted by the method of the present invention are respectively as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that both synchronous energy entropies SEE1 and SEE2 can well distinguish the healthy and faulty states of the sliding bearing. Figure 8The SEE1 and SEE2 distributions for healthy and faulty sliding bearings, extracted using the method of the present invention, are shown. As can be seen from the figures, healthy and faulty sliding bearing states are easily distinguishable. The two synchronized energy entropies, SEE1 and SEE2, extracted using the method of the present invention, can effectively characterize oil film vortex faults in sliding bearings.
