[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in the following with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0048] In the related art, mode-driven diagnosis is often used, such as identification of bearing failure and blade crack, which relies on prior knowledge. However, in a laboratory environment, some high-risk failures cannot be artificially manufactured, and some failures occur as a small probability event, so it is more difficult to obtain fault state data. Therefore, when facing unknown failure modes and lack of fault samples in complex working conditions, not only the operability in the research and development stage is limited, but also the engineering progress is delayed, and it is still difficult to meet the engineering requirements of real-time online abnormal monitoring and early warning. To overcome the above technical problems, the application provides an engine fault diagnosis method, which can avoid high dependence on fault samples and improve the comprehensiveness of fault analysis.

[0049] The engine fault diagnosis method disclosed by the embodiments of the application can avoid high dependence on fault samples and improve the comprehensiveness of fault analysis. Figure 1 The method can include the following steps:

[0050] Step S11: Synchronously collecting sound signals and vibration signals of the engine in a normal running state, and performing feature extraction on the sound signals and the vibration signals to obtain corresponding target features; the target features include time domain features, frequency domain features and time-frequency domain features.

[0051] First, the sound signals (xacoustic(n)) and the vibration signals (xvibration(n)) generated during the running process can be collected by the sensors installed at the key positions of the aero-engine, and the sampling frequency can be set to not less than 51200Hz. To ensure data accuracy and subsequent analysis reliability, the sound signals and the vibration signals need to be high-precision time-synchronized. Specifically, the synchronization can be performed by triggering a unified sampling clock through hardware, and the digital synchronization module is labeled with a time stamp to ensure that the sound signals and the vibration signals of each sampling point are aligned in time.

[0052] The feature extraction on the sound signals and the vibration signals to obtain the corresponding target features includes: performing time domain analysis, frequency domain analysis and time-frequency domain analysis on the sound signals and the vibration signals respectively; and taking the time domain features, the frequency domain features and the time-frequency domain features of the sound signals and the vibration signals obtained by the analysis as the target features.

[0053] The multi-dimensional characteristic features are obtained from the aero-engine operating sound and vibration signals by mathematical analysis method, which provides a quantitative basis for subsequent statistical modeling, feature fusion and abnormality determination. For example, in time domain analysis, the signal amplitude and waveform can be mathematically described to obtain features such as root mean square (RMS), peak factor (PF), kurtosis, etc. In frequency domain analysis, the signal can be mapped to frequency space by Fourier transform, which can be used to describe the main frequency, spectral centroid and energy distribution of the signal. In time-frequency domain analysis, the frequency characteristics of the signal changing with time can be obtained by short-time Fourier transform (STFT), wavelet transform or other time-frequency analysis methods. Through time-frequency domain features, the transient changes and multi-resolution energy distribution of the signal can be captured. The target features include but are not limited to: sound signal root mean square , sound signal peak factor , sound signal kurtosis , sound signal main frequency amplitude , sound signal spectral centroid , sound signal wideband energy ratio , vibration signal root mean square , vibration signal peak factor , vibration signal waveform index , vibration signal main frequency amplitude , vibration signal spectral centroid , vibration signal envelope demodulation amplitude Then, the 6-dimensional features of the acoustic and vibration signals are integrated to form a 12-dimensional feature vector F:

[0054] .

[0055] Step S12: determining the statistical index of each target feature by statistical characteristic analysis, and performing feature fusion on all target features according to the target fusion mode based on the statistical index to obtain a fusion index.

[0056] The statistical index can include an index describing the distribution center, an index describing the distribution dispersion, a confidence interval, etc., which can represent the variation range and distribution characteristics of the target feature under normal working conditions. It can also be the entropy value and information content of the target feature, etc. Then, based on the statistical index, all target features are fused according to the target fusion mode to obtain a fusion index. The target fusion mode is not limited in this embodiment, which can use weighted linear fusion (entropy weight method, principal component analysis), nonlinear fusion (geometric mean, neural network fusion, fuzzy fusion) or other mathematical transformation methods (Euclidean norm) to map the multi-dimensional features to a single fusion index, so as to take into account the information of each feature while suppressing redundant and noise interference.

[0057] In some embodiments, the statistical indicators of each target feature are determined by statistical property analysis, and a fusion indicator is obtained by fusing all the target features according to a target fusion manner based on the statistical indicators, including: establishing a corresponding probability distribution model for each target feature; calculating an indicator for describing a distribution center, an indicator for describing a distribution dispersion, and a confidence interval according to the probability distribution model to obtain the statistical indicators of the target features; and obtaining the fusion indicator by weighted summation according to the weight corresponding to each target feature and the confidence interval corresponding to each target feature. In the statistical property analysis link, the multi-dimensional features obtained in the feature extraction link are probabilistically modeled to quantify the statistical properties of the normal operating state, that is, a probability distribution model is established for each target feature Fi to describe the variation range and distribution characteristics thereof in the normal operating state, thereby providing a reliable basis for the diagnosis decision layer.

[0058] For example, the feature is subject to a normal distribution: Therefore, the probability distribution model is:

[0059] ; wherein, are the mean and standard deviation of the target feature, respectively, and exp[] represents an exponential function. Through the probability distribution model, the expected value, variance, and confidence interval of the feature can be calculated to describe the fluctuation range (confidence interval) of the feature in the normal operating state: The range can be used as a preliminary reference for abnormality judgment.

[0060] In addition to the normal distribution, other probability distribution models (such as lognormal, Gamma distribution, etc.) can also be applicable, and non-parametric methods such as kernel density estimation and empirical distribution function can also be used for statistical analysis; for example, the data distribution can be visualized by using a non-parametric method first, and then a suitable parametric model is selected for fitting. By modeling and quantifying the multi-dimensional features using probability and statistics theory, the fluctuation characteristics of the signal are converted into calculable statistical indicators, which provide a mathematical basis for subsequent feature fusion and abnormality judgment.

[0061] In the feature fusion link, the statistical indicators obtained by statistical property analysis are combined to fuse multiple target features to generate a single fusion indicator that can be used for abnormality judgment ; the multi-dimensional features are fused by mathematical methods to form a quantifiable fusion indicator, which provides a quantitative basis for diagnosis and decision making. This embodiment does not limit the specific fusion method, and weighted or other fusion methods can be used for feature combination.

[0062] For example, a weighted fusion method is used to generate a fusion indicator by linear combination:

[0063] ;

[0064] wherein m is the dimension of the target feature, i.e. there are m target features; is a weight, which can be pre-coordinated, or can be determined according to the feature information amount, importance or other evaluation indexes.

[0065] For example, the information entropy weight method is adopted, the Shannon entropy of each target feature is calculated to quantify its uncertainty; then the weight is calculated according to the entropy value: .

[0066] In some embodiments, before the feature extraction of the sound signal and the vibration signal obtains the corresponding target feature, the sound signal and the vibration signal are segmented to obtain a plurality of sampling segments; the determination of the early warning threshold according to the data statistical characteristics of the fusion index includes: calculating the fusion index corresponding to each sampling segment to obtain a fusion index sequence; and determining the early warning threshold based on the data statistical characteristics of the fusion index sequence. That is, the steps S11 and S12 are performed on each sampling segment to obtain the fusion index of each sampling segment, i.e. the fusion index sequence, and then the early warning threshold is determined according to the data statistical characteristics of the fusion index sequence. By converting the transient and irregular original signal into a smooth time sequence that can reflect the evolution trend of the device state, a stable and representative dynamic early warning threshold can be set based on the statistical characteristics (such as mean, variance, trend) of the sequence, effectively filtering transient noise interference and capturing the real performance degradation process.

[0067] In some embodiments, the determination of the statistical index of each target feature through statistical characteristic analysis, the feature fusion of all target features according to a target fusion mode based on the statistical index to obtain a fusion index includes: standardizing the target features to obtain the standardized features corresponding to the target features; discretizing the standardized features to statistically analyze the probability distribution of the target features; calculating the entropy value of the target features according to the probability distribution, determining the information amount of the target features according to the entropy value; determining the weight corresponding to each target feature according to the information amount; and performing weighted fusion based on the weight and the standardized feature corresponding to each target feature to obtain the fusion index. That is, the information entropy weight method is adopted to perform weighted fusion on the extracted acoustic and vibration features, and the information entropy weight method can automatically adjust the weight according to the information amount of each feature to ensure that the fused features can more truly reflect the running state of the system; the accuracy of feature fusion is improved, so that the system is more sensitive and efficient when processing complex signals.

[0068] Step S13: determining an early warning threshold according to the data statistical characteristics of the fusion index, so as to utilize the early warning threshold to monitor the engine fault.

[0069] By quantifying the statistical characteristics of the fusion indicators in the normal operating state and setting thresholds, the system can compare the real-time fusion indicators for deviation in the operation monitoring stage, realize abnormal diagnosis and early warning. In the absence of explicit prior information of fault mode, based on the multi-modal fusion analysis of acoustic signals and vibration signals in the operation process of aero-engine, an abnormal recognition process independent of priori is constructed, which sequentially completes signal collection, feature construction, abnormal recognition and real-time monitoring, realizes online monitoring and abnormal warning of engine operating state, and is suitable for bench test and in-service monitoring scene.

[0070] In the early warning threshold setting link, based on the statistical characteristics of the fusion indicators generated in the feature fusion link , the threshold value for abnormal judgment is determined, thereby providing reliable early warning basis for diagnosis decision. The data statistical characteristics can include mean or median representing the trend in the set, or standard deviation representing the dispersion degree, etc. The specific early warning threshold can be set according to confidence interval, quantile, probability density threshold or 3σ criterion, and the specific calculation method is not limited in the embodiment.

[0071] For example, the fusion feature indicator obeys the probability distribution (such as normal distribution) under normal working condition:

[0072] ; the early warning threshold T= , wherein k is the confidence coefficient.

[0073] In a specific embodiment, the early warning threshold determination includes the following process:

[0074] First, the continuously collected acoustic vibration data is cut into multiple sampling segments according to time window. For example, let the whole working condition set be For the cth working condition, if the total recording time is Tc (unit: second), the set analysis window length is Lc (unit: second), and the overlap rate is , then the step is:

[0075] ;

[0076] The number of effective sampling segments generated by this working condition is:

[0077] ;

[0078] Total sample segment number:

[0079] ;

[0080] Extract the multi-dimensional target feature vector from each sampling segment i:

[0081] ;

[0082] in, Let represent the j-th feature of the i-th sample segment, Ma represent the number of the a-th sound feature, and Mv represent the number of the v-th vibration feature. This indicates transpose; the total dimension of the target features (i.e., the total number of target features) is M = Ma + Mv.

[0083] Then, the features of each target are standardized:

[0084] ;

[0085] in, and Let be the mean and standard deviation of the j-th feature under normal conditions, respectively. The calculation formula is:

[0086] ;

[0087] Discretize each standardized feature, dividing the numerical range into K intervals, and calculate the probability distribution for each interval:

[0088] ;

[0089] Finally, calculate the feature entropy. :

[0090] ;

[0091] And further calculate the information content of each feature dimension:

[0092] ;

[0093] Through the above steps, statistical analysis and probabilistic modeling of all sample segment features are completed, generating indicator data for entropy-weighted fusion: the standardized value, probability distribution, entropy value, and information content of each feature. This data constitutes a normal operation benchmark model, providing a reliable basis for setting fusion indicators and early warning thresholds.

[0094] The standardized features of each sampling segment are weighted and fused using the information entropy weighting method. First, the weights are calculated using the calculated information content of each feature:

[0095] ;

[0096] Then, the M-dimensional feature values ​​are fused into a single feature index. The fusion index for the i-th sampling segment is:

[0097] ;

[0098] Calculate the fusion index sequence under normal conditions Mean and standard deviation:

[0099] ;

[0100] The early warning threshold is set as: , adopts criterion, k=3.

[0101] In some embodiments, the engine fault diagnosis method further comprises: dynamically adjusting the early warning threshold according to the dynamic characteristics of the fusion index. It can be understood that the dynamic adjustment of the early warning threshold is combined with the dynamic characteristics of the fusion index; for example, the engine will have progressive failures such as wear, fouling, performance degradation, etc. with the use time, and the early warning threshold should be dynamically adjusted following the change trend of the fusion index itself, and automatically adapt to the slow changes of the device working condition. Or the early warning threshold under different working modes (cruise mode, reasoning mode) of the engine should also be self-adaptive adjustment, the overall vibration level baseline will be raised when the load is increased, and the threshold will also be raised, avoiding false positives; by dynamically adjusting the threshold, the sensitivity and reliability of abnormal detection are considered. The dynamic early warning threshold setting based on normal state modeling realizes early identification of abnormalities; and the threshold can be adjusted in real time according to the characteristic distribution of the normal state, and the early warning standard is dynamically optimized for different operating conditions, so as to respond to the initial stage of failure faster.

[0102] In this application, in the face of fault mode uncertainty and lack of fault samples, the feature range and early warning threshold are determined using data in normal state, and effective detection of faults is realized through deviation analysis based on normal state modeling, which does not depend on a large number of fault samples, and can still realize efficient abnormal detection and early warning without fault samples.

[0103] In some embodiments, the fault monitoring of the engine using the early warning threshold comprises: synchronously collecting real-time sound signals and real-time vibration signals of the engine, and performing feature extraction on the real-time sound signals and the real-time vibration signals to obtain corresponding real-time target features; performing feature fusion on all the real-time target features according to the target fusion mode to obtain a real-time fusion index; and comparing the real-time fusion index with the early warning threshold to determine whether the engine has failed. That is, the real-time target features are fused according to the target fusion mode used in the early warning threshold determination process, and the previous weights are directly used without re-computation during fusion, such as weighted summation of the real-time target features and the weights corresponding to each target feature to obtain the real-time fusion index.

[0104] The traditional fault diagnosis method often needs a large number of fault samples for training and model construction, and the sound-vibration fusion diagnosis and early warning method based on normal operation state modeling provided in the application meets the needs of online monitoring, rapid response and fault early warning in engineering field, extracts and models sound-vibration multi-dimensional features from a large number of normal operation samples in the training stage through the fusion of engine sound signals and vibration signals, and constructs a high-dimensional fusion normal operation benchmark model. In the operation monitoring stage, the sound-vibration signals are collected in real time and the corresponding features are extracted, and the deviation is compared with the benchmark model, when the monitoring features deviate from the normal range and exceed the threshold, the system can realize abnormal diagnosis and early warning. Avoiding the high dependence on fault samples, even in the absence of fault samples, accurate abnormal detection can still be achieved through deviation analysis of normal state, greatly reducing the demand for fault samples, improving the universality and applicability of the system. Effectively solve the diagnosis problem under the condition of uncertain fault mode and scarce fault samples, with fast response, accurate identification and good engineering implementability.

[0105] As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment, the sound signal and the vibration signal of the engine in the normal operation state are synchronously collected, the corresponding target features are obtained by performing feature extraction on the sound signal and the vibration signal, the target features include time domain features, frequency domain features and time-frequency domain features, the statistical indexes of each target feature are determined through statistical characteristic analysis, the target features are fused according to a target fusion mode based on the statistical indexes to obtain fusion indexes, and the early warning threshold is determined according to the data statistical characteristics of the fusion indexes, so as to utilize the early warning threshold to perform fault monitoring on the engine. As can be seen, according to the sound-vibration signals of the engine in the normal operation state, the statistical indexes of the features are obtained through feature analysis and statistical characteristic analysis, the early warning threshold is determined according to the fusion indexes after feature fusion, the benchmark model of the engine in the normal operation state is constructed to determine whether the engine has a fault, and based on the fusion indexes, the health status of the whole system can be comprehensively analyzed, the abnormal state recognition and analysis of the uncertain fault mode can be realized in the absence of prior knowledge, and the comprehensiveness of fault analysis is improved.

[0106] For example Figure 2 A specific engine fault diagnosis system framework diagram is shown, which includes five parts of a signal acquisition and synchronization module, a normal operation modeling module, a real-time feature extraction and fusion module, a deviation identification and early warning module, and a system interface and display module. The modules are cooperatively operated to realize a closed loop from acquisition, processing of original sound-vibration signals to abnormal identification and early warning output.

[0107] The data layer is used to complete real-time collection of sound signals and vibration signals in the operation process of the aero-engine and ensure high-precision time synchronization of the two types of signals. The feature processing layer is used to construct a high-dimensional feature benchmark model of sound-vibration fusion under the fault-free operation state of the engine, that is, to determine feature indexes and early warning thresholds, and to extract current target features in real time and perform multi-physical quantity fusion processing during the operation of the engine. The diagnosis and decision layer is used to realize real-time monitoring and fault early warning of the operation state deviation. The interface layer is used for visualization and alarm linkage of the monitoring results, and realizes rapid response and display. The system is flexible and modular, and can adapt to detection requirements of different equipment and different fault types. Whether in actual aero-engines or in fault diagnosis of other equipment, the implementation method can be adjusted according to specific requirements.

[0108] The normal operation state modeling in the diagnosis and decision layer is the core, and the technical principle is to provide a reliable reference for abnormal diagnosis and early warning. In the modeling stage, a large number of normal operation samples of the aero-engine are analyzed, multi-dimensional features of sound and vibration signals are extracted, and probability distribution models of each feature are established based on statistical methods, so as to construct a high-dimensional fusion normal operation benchmark model, and at the same time, early warning thresholds are set according to the normal operation features, which provides a reliable basis for subsequent abnormal judgment and early warning in operation monitoring. That is, the system first collects the sound and vibration signals of the engine in operation, and through the links of feature extraction, statistical analysis, feature fusion and early warning threshold setting, a closed-loop diagnosis and early warning process is formed. In the monitoring stage, the system collects the sound and vibration signals of the engine in real time, extracts and fuses multi-dimensional features according to the data processing process established in the modeling stage, and compares the real-time fusion indexes obtained with the normal operation benchmark model. When the monitoring features exceed the normal range and exceed the early warning threshold, the system can realize abnormal diagnosis and early warning. Through normal operation state modeling, not only the sound and vibration feature space of the normal working condition is defined, but also a reliable basis for abnormal judgment and alarm of the fusion features is provided to realize online monitoring, rapid response and fault early warning.

[0109] Correspondingly, the embodiment of the application also discloses an engine fault diagnosis device, which refers to Figure 3 The device comprises:

[0110] The feature extraction module 11 is used for synchronously collecting sound signals and vibration signals of the engine in a normal operation state, and performing feature extraction on the sound signals and the vibration signals to obtain corresponding target features; the target features include time domain features, frequency domain features and time-frequency domain features;

[0111] The feature fusion module 12 is used for determining statistical indexes of each target feature by statistical characteristic analysis, and performing feature fusion on all target features according to a target fusion mode to obtain a fusion index based on the statistical indexes;
