[0037] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0038] The core of the present application is to provide a ratchet pawl clutch operating state detection method, device and medium, so as to more accurately and timely realize the detection of the operating state of the ratchet pawl clutch.

[0039] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0040] Figure 1 A flow chart of a ratchet pawl clutch operating state detection method provided by the present application is shown in Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps.

[0041] S10: acquiring operating data of each pawl; the operating data comprises acceleration data and displacement data of each pawl when knocking the ratchet each time, and actual knocking strength of each pawl when knocking the ratchet each time calculated according to the acceleration data and the displacement data;

[0042] S11: extracting feature data of each pawl from the operating data;

[0043] S12: comparing the feature data with standard values, and confirming the operating state of each pawl according to the comparison result.

[0044] The present application provides a ratchet pawl clutch operating state detection method, which is used to realize the state detection of the ratchet pawl clutch, and then the service life of the ratchet pawl clutch can be inferred. The execution subject of the method can be a ratchet pawl clutch device. In specific implementation, the device can collect the operating data of the ratchet pawl clutch through internal sensors or external sensors, and then confirm the operating state of the ratchet pawl clutch through data analysis. In the present application, the operating state of the ratchet pawl clutch is mainly reflected in whether the operating data of each pawl is normal.

[0045] Therefore, in step S10, the operation data of each pawl is collected by the sensor. According to the hardware structure of the ratchet pawl clutch, the operation data of each pawl mainly includes the acceleration data and displacement data of each pawl when it strikes the ratchet each time, and the actual striking force of each pawl when it strikes the ratchet each time is calculated according to the acceleration data and displacement data. In order to accurately obtain the operation data, the displacement data of each pawl can be collected by using an eddy current displacement sensor, and through a high enough sampling frequency, the speed data of each pawl can be calculated according to the displacement data, and then the acceleration data can be calculated. It can be understood that there will be noise when the eddy current displacement sensor collects data, so after collecting data, Kalman filtering algorithm can be used to filter the displacement data collected by the eddy current displacement sensor, so as to reduce interference. It can be understood that the sensor needs to collect the operation data of multiple pawls, so the installation angle and position of each sensor on each pawl need to be consistent to ensure the uniformity and reliability of data collection. In order to accurately capture the displacement and acceleration of the pawl, the eddy current displacement sensor can be installed at important positions of the ratchet pawl clutch, such as the top end of the pawl, the coupling surface and the central shaft.

[0046] In addition to the above operation data, in specific implementation, the working environment data of the ratchet pawl clutch can also be collected, such as temperature information at the striking position or the number of strikes. This is used to identify the abnormal state of the pawl from a more comprehensive and intuitive perspective when confirming the operation state of each pawl subsequently.

[0047] Step S11 is used to extract feature data from the operation data, and then confirm the operation state of the pawl through the feature data in the subsequent step. Extracting feature data not only can efficiently identify the abnormal working data of the pawl, but also can reduce the amount of calculation. Among them, the feature data can be various, including the maximum acceleration, displacement change rate and average striking force of each pawl; when extracting and comparing subsequently, only one kind of feature data can be compared, of course, in order to improve the accuracy of detection, multiple kinds of feature data can be compared at the same time. The extraction of feature data can be extracted from the operation data in a fixed time range, for example, the displacement change rate can be understood as displacement change comparison every fixed time (such as 20 minutes).

[0048] Step S12 compares the characteristic data with the standard value, and confirms the operation state of each pawl according to the comparison result, wherein the operation state of each pawl includes normal, abnormal, overload, wear and the like, and step S12 confirms the state of the pawl according to the difference between the characteristic data and the standard value. For example, if the knocking frequency is reduced and the knocking force is reduced within a certain time, it is considered that the clutch may be damaged, and if the displacement data is reduced and the knocking force is reduced, it is considered that the clutch is worn. Since overload will cause the instantaneous abnormality of each data of the clutch, such as temperature, knocking force and displacement, overload can be judged according to the transient change of the data, and generally, overload is accompanied by damage or wear of the clutch.

[0049] The operation state detection method of the ratchet pawl clutch provided by the present application can solve the problems of untimely detection and inaccurate detection in the current technology which relies on manual inspection. The acceleration data and displacement data of each pawl when knocking the ratchet each time, and the actual knocking force are collected, and the characteristic data is extracted therefrom, and the characteristic data is compared with the standard value to confirm the operation state of each pawl. By using the technical solution, the various operation data of the pawl are collected by the sensor, the data can be collected in real time and continuously by relying on the setting of the sensor, the detection accuracy is improved by diversifying the types of collected data, and more timely and accurate operation state detection of the ratchet pawl clutch is realized.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the operation state of each pawl is detected by the characteristic data of each pawl, and for a qualified ratchet pawl clutch, the operation data of each pawl inside the clutch should be the same, and even if there is an error, it should be very small. Therefore, on the basis of the above embodiment, in the present embodiment, it is further judged whether the deviation of the operation data between each pawl when knocking each time is within a preset range, and if yes, it is confirmed that the detected clutch is a standard clutch.

[0051] On the basis of the above embodiment, the service life of the ratchet pawl clutch is predicted in the present embodiment. After the step of confirming that the detected clutch is a standard clutch, it further includes confirming the change trend of each data according to the operation data of any pawl, comparing the change trend with the calibrated change trend in the database, and deducing the service life of the detected clutch.

[0052] In the embodiment, the establishment of the database comprises: fatigue test is performed on the ratchet pawl clutch of a fixed model, different loads and working conditions are set through the test, and performance degradation of each sample during repeated knocking is recorded. Each test data is recorded by the system to establish the database. The database contains temperature, load, vibration frequency, working time and corresponding failure conditions, so that comprehensive data analysis and comparison can be performed to obtain the knocking life and failure characteristics of the pawl under different conditions. Through deep learning and machine learning analysis of the data obtained from the fatigue test, combined with real-time monitoring state information, a mathematical model is constructed to realize prediction of the remaining service life of the clutch. The embodiment combines real-time monitoring data and the established fatigue test database to realize scientific prediction of the remaining service life of the ratchet pawl clutch through intelligent algorithm. The prediction capability helps users to master the health status of the clutch, and maintenance or replacement can be performed at appropriate time, which greatly improves the operation reliability of the equipment.
