Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of belt conveyor idler fault monitoring, and particularly relates to an intelligent belt conveyor idler fault monitoring method based on DAS. BACKGROUND

[0002] The conveyor is the core conveying equipment in the coal, electric power and other industries, and the idler thereof has a high failure rate (the failure rate is more than 60%) due to long-term bearing of high load and strong dust environment. The traditional detection methods (such as manual inspection and point-type accelerometer) have three major defects, i.e., limited coverage (a single-point sensor is difficult to monitor a conveying line of several kilometers, and intensive arrangement leads to high cost), poor real-time performance (manual inspection has a long cycle and cannot capture sudden faults), and weak anti-interference (industrial electromagnetic noise easily overwhelms the vibration signal, and the false alarm rate is high).

[0003] The distributed optical fiber sensing (DOFS) technology has the unique advantage of realizing long-distance continuous monitoring with a single optical fiber, and has characteristics such as anti-electromagnetic interference and corrosion resistance, and thus has great potential in the field of industrial equipment state monitoring. However, the existing technology still has significant limitations in the application of belt conveyor idler fault monitoring. First, the Chinese patent application for invention with the publication number CN116484196A mainly focuses on optical fiber vibration area identification and fails to optimize the idler fault characteristics. Second, the Chinese patent for invention with the publication number CN114039656B involves fault positioning, but only relies on a single monitoring parameter and does not introduce an artificial intelligence algorithm, resulting in insufficient positioning accuracy (less than 90%). In addition, the Chinese patent for invention with the publication number CN112033669B only uses the frequency domain feature comparison with a reference signal for fault judgment, and this method has three obvious defects: first, the influence of environmental noise on fault judgment is not considered, second, single frequency domain analysis loses other key features of the fault signal, and third, the lack of intelligent algorithm support easily leads to misjudgment.

[0004] In view of the above technical bottlenecks, in order to fully realize the practical application value of the DOFS technology in the belt conveyor idler fault monitoring, an innovative solution is urgently needed: the solution should be able to effectively overcome the interference of environmental noise, realize multi-domain feature fusion extraction, integrate artificial intelligence diagnosis technology, and finally realize accurate positioning and intelligent identification of the idler fault.

[0062] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the technical scheme of the application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings, and the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments involved in the present application. All non-innovative embodiments of other researchers in the art on the embodiments belong to the protection scope of the present application. Meanwhile, the step numbers in the embodiments of the present application are only set for the convenience of description and explanation, and the order between the steps is not limited in any way, and the execution order of each step in the embodiments can be adaptively adjusted according to the understanding of the person skilled in the art.

[0063] The distributed optical fiber sensing system DAS is to use the optical fiber as the transmission and sensing medium at the same time, to obtain the vibration information along the whole optical fiber, and to realize the continuous monitoring of the distance of thousands of meters or even tens of thousands of meters. The vibration wave generated by the roller vibration affects the surrounding arranged sensing optical fiber, and the vibration signal can be obtained by demodulating the back Rayleigh scattering light generated in the optical fiber. The optical fiber will inevitably perceive environmental noise such as wind and material spilling, and these noises will be mixed into the vibration information of the roller, covering the fault characteristics.

[0064] Therefore, the present application firstly uses wavelet decomposition and wavelet threshold denoising to denoise and reconstruct the original vibration signal, so as to suppress the environmental noise as much as possible; different domain features have different sensitivities to various faults, therefore, the time domain and frequency domain features representing the transient impact and periodic characteristics of the faults are calculated according to the sample set, the feature vectors are composed of the features with the largest discrimination selected according to the KL distance, and the sensitivity and limitation of single feature to noise are overcome; the feature vectors of the input whole-line roller vibration signal are composed into a sequence according to the position, and are input into the trained machine learning model for classification prediction, and the output result not only reflects the accurate fault type, but also has accurate position information.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1 The intelligent belt conveyor roller fault monitoring method based on DAS comprises the following steps:

[0066] S1, the sensing optical cable is arranged on the side support of the belt conveyor roller group, the distributed optical fiber sensing system DAS is used to inject an optical pulse into the sensing optical cable, the back Rayleigh scattering signal carrying the roller vibration information is collected, and the whole-line roller vibration signal is demodulated by a phase demodulation algorithm;

[0067] S2, combining the fault characteristic frequency distribution and the system sampling rate, selecting a suitable wavelet basis function and a decomposition layer number, decomposing the vibration signal S(x) into multi-scale components IMF(x) by using a wavelet decomposition algorithm, calculating the correlation coefficient of the autocorrelation function of each component IMF(x) and the autocorrelation function of the original vibration signal S(x), and selecting the effective component IMF'(x) according to a preset coefficient threshold;

[0068] S3, performing Bayesian shrinkage wavelet threshold denoising processing on the effective IMF'(x) to obtain a denoised component, and then superimposing to obtain a denoised signal D(x);

[0069] S4, extracting 11 time-frequency domain feature parameters of the denoised signal D(x), and then screening six feature parameters F(m) sensitive to faults through KL distance;

[0070] S5, constructing a sample set based on the screened feature parameters F(m), and training a machine learning classification model;

[0071] S6, inputting the feature parameters of the real-time collected vibration signal processed through steps S2-S6 into the trained model, and outputting the fault type and position of the carrier roller.

[0072] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , the sensing optical cable is arranged on the side support of the belt conveyor carrier roller group, the distributed optical fiber sensing system DAS is used to inject optical pulses into the sensing optical cable, the backscattering Rayleigh scattering signals carrying the vibration information of the carrier roller are collected, and the vibration signals of the carrier roller are demodulated through the phase demodulation algorithm.

[0073] Further, according to the fault characteristic frequency distribution and in combination with the system sampling rate, a suitable wavelet basis function and decomposition layer number are selected, including:

[0074] In this embodiment, the vibration signal in the fault sample is subjected to short-time Fourier transform, and the time-frequency diagram obtained is as shown in Figure 3 As can be seen from the diagram, compared with the normal carrier roller, the characteristic of the fault carrier roller is a periodic impact signal in the frequency range of 500Hz-7000Hz. At a sampling rate of 20kHz, the Daubechies 4(db4) wavelet is used for 6-layer decomposition, which is suitable for analyzing the medium-high frequency transient signal and the low frequency trend, and the frequency band division covers 10kHz(D1) to 156Hz(A6).

[0075] Among them, D1(10k-5kHz) is suitable for ultrahigh frequency noise and transient impact detection; D2(5k-2.5kHz) is suitable for high frequency vibration; D3(2.5kHz-1.5kHz) is suitable for mechanical fault characteristic frequency, and D4 to D6(1.25kHz-156Hz) is suitable for rotating machinery low frequency characteristic frequency, and A6(0Hz-156Hz) is suitable for analyzing slow changing trend or ultralow frequency event.

[0076] D5(625Hz-312.5Hz) is particularly suitable for mechanical fault diagnosis (such as 1-5kHz impact component of bearings / gears).

[0077] In summary, the db4 wavelet balances the time-frequency resolution and can effectively capture the medium-high frequency transient characteristics of the fault carrier roller.

[0078] Further, the correlation coefficient of the autocorrelation function of each component IMF(x) and the autocorrelation function of the original vibration signal S(x) is calculated, and the effective component IMF'(x) is screened according to a preset coefficient threshold, including the following steps:

[0079] The autocorrelation function of the multi-scale component IMF(x) and the autocorrelation function of the original signal S(x) are calculated, and the autocorrelation function is calculated as follows:

[0080]

[0081] Wherein, x(t) is a multi-scale component or an original signal, x(t-τ) is obtained by reversing x(t) along the time dimension, R x (τ) is the autocorrelation function calculated.

[0082] Then, the autocorrelation function R IMFj of the jth component IMF(x) is calculated, and the autocorrelation function R x of the original signal is calculated.

[0083]

[0084] Wherein, N is the number of signal points, and then the correlation coefficient is compared with a preset threshold to obtain the first n effective components IMF'(x).

[0085] Further, the effective component IMF'(x) is subjected to Bayesian shrinkage wavelet threshold denoising processing to obtain a denoising component, and then the denoising signal D(x) is obtained by superposition, including the following steps:

[0086] The wavelet threshold T is calculated using the prior information of the generalized Gaussian distribution of the effective component IMF'(x):

[0087]

[0088] Wherein, σ 2 is the noise variance, σ x 2 is the signal variance.

[0089] The noise variance σ 2 can be calculated as follows:

[0090]

[0091] Wherein, IMF max (x) is the effective component under the maximum decomposition scale.

[0092] The signal variance σ x 2 can be obtained as follows:

[0093]

[0094] wherein IMF'(x) is the effective component, is its corresponding mean value.

[0095] According to the obtained wavelet threshold T corresponding to the effective component, the effective component IMF'(x) is contracted by using a threshold function, and the calculation process is as follows:

[0096]

[0097] wherein IMF'(x) k is the kth effective component, is the de-noised component after threshold function processing.

[0098] The de-noised components are superimposed to obtain a de-noised signal D(x):

[0099]

[0100] The time-frequency diagram of the signal before and after wavelet threshold de-noising is shown in Figure 4 It can be seen that the de-noised signal retains the complete high-frequency non-stationary periodic characteristics and removes most of the noise.

[0101] Further, after obtaining the de-noised signal D(x), 11 time-frequency domain feature parameters are extracted, including:

[0102] 6 time domain parameters are calculated: the mean value reflects the average level of the signal, representing the overall offset; the standard deviation measures the fluctuation intensity of the signal; the kurtosis (used to describe the degree of signal peak or abnormality; the peak-to-peak value represents the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the signal, reflecting the dynamic range; the root mean square measures the energy or power level of the signal; and the peak factor is the ratio of the maximum absolute value to the RMS;

[0103] 5 frequency domain parameters are calculated: the center of gravity frequency reflects the weighted average position of the signal energy distribution, which can be used to identify the dominant vibration frequency; the spectral bandwidth is calculated by the standard deviation of the spectral energy, which quantifies the dispersion degree of the energy distribution, and the smaller the value, the more concentrated the energy is around the center of gravity frequency; the mean square frequency reflects the energy weighted root mean square value of the frequency component, which is sensitive to high frequency components and can effectively capture the high frequency energy changes caused by impact failures; the 300Hz-700Hz frequency band energy ratio and the 1.8kHz-2.2kHz frequency band energy ratio are calculated by calculating the proportion of the energy of a specific frequency band to the total energy, which accurately locates the energy aggregation characteristics of the fault feature frequency band.

[0104] After obtaining the 11 time-frequency domain feature parameters of the denoised signal D(x), the Kullback-Leibler divergence (KL divergence) corresponding to each feature parameter among the roller fault samples is calculated:

[0105]

[0106] Where P1 and P2 are the probability distributions of two different samples. For a sample composed of discrete signals, its probability distribution is calculated as follows:

[0107]

[0108] Wherein, P(ν) i Let c(ν) be the probability distribution of the sample. i ) represents each ν in the sample i The number of times ν appears i These are the possible values ​​in the sample.

[0109] Specifically, a larger KL distance indicates a stronger discriminative power for that feature parameter. In this embodiment, the KL distance is used to filter the six most fault-sensitive feature parameters F(m): kurtosis, root mean square, peak factor, centroid frequency, spectral bandwidth, and energy ratio in the 1.8kHz-2.2kHz frequency band. Figure 5 As shown, these six characteristic parameters are used as the characteristic parameters F(m) of the idler roller fault sample set.

[0110] Furthermore, the most sensitive feature parameters for fault identification were identified as kurtosis, root mean square (RMS), crescendo factor, centroid frequency, spectral bandwidth, and the energy ratio of the 1.8kHz-2.2kHz frequency band. Kurtosis describes the degree of signal spikes or anomalies, reflecting the periodic impact characteristics of the fault signal; RMS measures the energy or power level of the signal, reflecting the energy changes caused by the fault; crescendo factor is the ratio of the maximum absolute value to the RMS, reflecting the relative fluctuations in signal amplitude; centroid frequency measures the weighted average position of the signal energy distribution, reflecting the dominant oscillation frequency of the fault signal; spectral bandwidth calculates the standard deviation of spectral energy, quantifying the dispersion of energy distribution and reflecting the energy concentration at fault characteristic frequencies; and the energy ratio of the frequency band accurately reflects the energy concentration characteristics of the fault characteristic frequency band.

[0111] Furthermore, a sample set is constructed based on the selected feature parameter F(m) to train a machine learning classification model.

[0112] It should be noted that the machine learning model architecture adopted in the embodiment is gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) + random forest ensemble, the input is 600 1-second signal samples, of which 300 are normal and 300 are faults, five-fold cross-validation is used to optimize the parameters during training, and the output layer uses Softmax classification (0: normal, 1: fault).

[0113] Further, the feature parameters of the vibration signals collected in real time and processed through steps S2-S6 are input into the trained model, and the roller fault type and position are output. Specifically, it includes:

[0114] Real-time acquisition of vibration signals V n (t) at each position on the line; n represents the sensing position; the V n (t) is processed through steps S2-S3 to obtain a denoising signal D n (t);

[0115] According to step S44, it is confirmed that the six feature parameters to be calculated are kurtosis, root mean square, peak factor, center of gravity frequency, spectral bandwidth, and 1.8kHz-2.2kHz frequency band energy ratio; the denoising signal D n (t) obtained in S32 is calculated for feature parameters, and then a feature vector F n (m) is formed.

[0116] The feature vector F n (m) corresponding to V n (t) is input into the trained machine learning model in step S5 to obtain a fault classification result P fault (n), at this time, P fault (n) can reflect the fault position and fault type of the rollers on the entire line. As shown in Figure 6 , the roller fault prediction and positioning information on the entire line are displayed.

[0117] In summary, the embodiment discloses an intelligent belt conveyor roller fault monitoring method based on DAS, which realizes full-distributed, on-site networking-free sensing of the rollers on the entire belt conveyor by using DAS, denoising and reconstruction of the roller operating signals by using WT-CC-BWT, calculation of 11 time-frequency feature parameters of the denoising and reconstructed signals, screening of six feature parameters with the best resolution capability as samples by using KL distance, and realization of roller fault classification and prediction by using XGBoost (machine learning), which has important potential value for the maintenance and detection of the belt conveyor.
