Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mechanical transmission monitoring technology, specifically relating to an intelligent state sensing device and monitoring method for a gear transmission system. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, some embedded intelligent systems have begun to be used for condition monitoring of gear transmission systems, but existing solutions mostly focus on simple data acquisition and transmission functions. For example, sensor data is sent to a host computer for processing via an embedded module, and diagnostic algorithms typically run on an external computer or in the cloud. This approach is limited by communication latency and dispersed computing resources, resulting in low system integration and an inability to achieve fast and independent fault diagnosis locally.
[0003] The most common technology currently is to collect vibration signals of the gear transmission system during operation by installing vibration sensors (such as accelerometers), and use signal processing technology (such as Fourier transform and time-frequency analysis) to extract feature parameters (such as amplitude and frequency) to determine whether there are faults such as wear, cracks or spalling in the gears or bearings. The shortcomings of the existing technology mainly include: (1) relying on external data acquisition equipment and independent analysis system, the diagnosis process is usually completed offline, the real-time performance is poor, it cannot meet the needs of real-time monitoring in industrial sites, and the adaptability to complex working conditions is limited; (2) sensors, data processing and diagnosis modules are often separated, the wiring is complicated, which leads to increased system complexity and cost; (3) lacking localized intelligent diagnosis capabilities, it is difficult to classify fault types accurately in real time.
[0004] In addition, some solutions involve installing temperature sensors in key parts of the gearbox to monitor temperature changes during operation and infer the health status of the gears. For example, when gears experience increased friction or lubrication failure, the temperature will rise abnormally. However, this method has low sensitivity to early-stage faults, can only reflect relatively obvious anomalies, and cannot accurately pinpoint the type of fault. Summary of the Invention

Let t = t + 1, then return to step 1;
[0014] Step 3. Obtain information about the current time. t The moving average line in the MACD line is used to monitor whether gears or bearings in a transmission system are faulty, based on the historical root mean square data sequence.

[0038] A specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 1-2 The present invention discloses an intelligent state sensing device for a gear transmission system, comprising a core processor, an acceleration sensor, a display and output module, and a storage and communication module;
[0039] An accelerometer with a sampling frequency of 25.6 kHz is installed in the gearbox near the gears and bearings to collect vibration signals from the gears and bearings in the gear transmission system.
[0040] The core processor uses a dual-core ARM processor with a main frequency of 1.5GHz. It integrates a neural network processing unit (NPU) and an accelerated fault diagnosis model. The NPU is used to accelerate the inference of the fault diagnosis model. The accelerated fault diagnosis model is used to preprocess the vibration signals of gears and bearings in the gear transmission system into root mean square (RMS) and obtain the moving average line in the MACD line corresponding to the MMS convergence and divergence index. Based on the preset fault threshold, the fault status of gears or bearings in the gear transmission system is monitored based on the moving average line.
[0041] The display and output module can display the fault type, root mean square value, and confidence level in real time via an OLED display or a host computer; it also supports displaying alarm signals via the GPIO interface.
[0042] The storage and communication module has a built-in SD card for storing data and lightweight fault diagnosis models, a 1MB data cache module, and connects to the accelerometer via a network cable interface, using the TCP / IP protocol to read sensor data.
[0043] Furthermore, the core processor embeds an embedded Linux system based on the aarch64 architecture, supporting the PyTorch 2.0.0 runtime environment to ensure compatibility with general deep learning models.
[0044] Furthermore, the model file (.pth format) of the lightweight fault diagnosis model is optimized with TorchScript to adapt to the aarch64 architecture and improve inference efficiency.
[0045] Another specific embodiment of the present invention discloses an intelligent state perception and monitoring method for a gear transmission system, which uses the aforementioned intelligent state perception device for a gear transmission system to monitor the intelligent state of the gear transmission system. The specific steps are as follows:
[0046] Step 1. After preprocessing the vibration signals of the gears and bearings collected by the accelerometer, obtain the current moment. t root mean square The expression is:
[0047]
[0048] in, For the current moment t The first vibration signal of the collected gears and bearings i One data point; This represents the data length of the vibration signal collected by the accelerometer in a single instance at the current moment.
[0049] Step 2. Obtain the standard deviation of the root mean square RMS series based on historical root mean square RMS data. Fault thresholds are obtained based on standard deviation. If at the current moment t root mean square Exceeding the fault threshold Proceed to step 3; if the current time t root mean square The fault threshold was not exceeded. Let t = t + 1, then return to step 1;
[0050] Step 3. Calculate the value of the current time using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) model. t The moving average line in the moving average convergence and divergence indicator MACD (Moving Average Convergence and Divergence) of historical root mean square (RMS) data series is used to monitor whether gears or bearings in a transmission system are faulty, thereby simplifying calculations and adapting to the resource constraints of embedded systems.
[0051] Step 31. Obtain information about the current time. t Short-term simple moving average of historical root mean square data series and long-term simple moving average ;
[0052] Furthermore, short-term simple moving average The expression is:
[0053]
[0054] in, Indicates the first k The historical root of square represents the current moment. t The 11th time from the previous time to the current time k Each historical square root.
[0055] Furthermore, long-term simple moving average The expression is:
[0056]
[0057] in, Indicates the first n The historical root of square represents the current moment. t The 25th time from the previous time to the current timen Each historical square root.
[0058] Step 32. Using a short-term simple moving average and long-term simple moving average Get information about the current moment t MACD value of historical root mean square RMS data series The expression is:
[0059] .
[0060] Step 33. Based on information about the current time t MACD value of the root mean square data sequence Get the current time t MACD line signal line The expression is:
[0061] .
[0062] in, Indicates the current time t The first 8 moments to the current moment j One MACD value.
[0063] Step 34. If the current time t MACD line crossing signal line ( And at the current moment t root mean square Exceeding the fault threshold If this occurs, it is determined that a gear or bearing failure has occurred in the transmission system.
[0064] Step 4. Call the lightweight fault diagnosis model in offline mode to classify and diagnose the fault types of gears or bearings in the gear transmission system.
[0065] Optionally, the MobileNetV3 model can be used as a lightweight fault diagnosis model.
[0066] Specifically, the lightweight fault diagnosis model takes vibration signals as input and outputs the fault type of the gear transmission system ("normal", "tooth surface scuffing", "gear tooth breakage", "bearing inner ring fault", "bearing outer ring fault", etc.) and confidence level. The diagnostic results can be displayed on an OLED screen (e.g., "bearing inner ring fault, confidence level 95%), or transmitted to a host computer. Severe faults will trigger GPIO alarms.
[0067] The trained lightweight fault diagnosis model is saved as a .pth file and converted into a format that can run on embedded systems using TorchScript. The lightweight fault diagnosis model reduces the number of parameters by more than 90% compared to conventional fault diagnosis models, while maintaining a diagnostic accuracy of over 95% to adapt to the resource constraints of embedded systems.
[0068] Furthermore, the intelligent state perception device for gear transmission systems is compatible with any gear transmission system fault diagnosis model developed based on the PyTorch deep learning framework. It can be continuously updated and iterated upon, and can be used to test different fault diagnosis algorithms. The NPU ensures rapid inference, meeting the requirements of real-time fault diagnosis.
