Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bearing fault diagnosis technology, specifically relating to a method and apparatus for diagnosing faults in keyless phase change speed bearings. Background Technology
[0002] Bearings, as crucial transmission components in rotating machinery, directly impact the overall operation of the equipment. Bearing failure can lead to complete unit shutdown and incur significant repair costs. Due to variations in rotational speed and harsh working environments, measured bearing vibration signals exhibit strong non-stationarity and noise characteristics. In actual operation, the working environment of mechanical equipment is often harsh, hindering the installation of key phase hardware, making it difficult to obtain instantaneous frequencies and severely impacting the effectiveness of bearing fault diagnosis. Traditional time-domain and frequency-domain methods are only suitable for analyzing stationary signals.
[0003] Time-frequency analysis (TFA) methods, employing a joint analysis approach in the time and frequency domains, offer profound insights into the transient structure of non-stationary signals, thus attracting widespread attention. Traditional TFA methods, such as the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) and Wavelet Transform (WT), suffer from low time-frequency resolution due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle limiting their time-frequency representation (TFR) performance. While the Wigner-Vell distribution (WVD), unaffected by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, offers high resolution, it introduces cross-term interference in multi-component signals, impacting fault feature extraction.
[0004] In recent years, some more advanced Time-Frequency Analysis (TFA) techniques have been used to analyze the time-varying structure of non-stationary signals. Examples include the Redistribution Method (RM) and the Synchronous Compression Transform (SST). The RM enhances the energy concentration of the TFR by redistributing time-frequency coefficients to the centroids of the signal along the time and frequency axes. However, RM does not support signal reconstruction, which significantly limits its application. The Synchronous Compression Transform (SST) is a special case of RM that redistributes time-frequency coefficients only along the frequency axis and allows signal reconstruction. While SST allows signal reconstruction, it is sensitive to noise, and its performance degrades significantly in noisy environments. Higher-order SSTs are computationally complex and rely on higher-order information of the signal, limiting their practical applications.
[0005] Some research has applied the SST method to fault diagnosis of rotating machinery, combining demodulation techniques with the SST method for analyzing mechanical signals, such as SST based on matched demodulation transform and SST based on generalized stepwise demodulation. Demodulation-based SST methods require knowledge of the instantaneous frequency (IF) or phase information, but accurate estimation of IF is difficult in actual operating conditions, especially under noise interference, where the IF estimation error is large. Demodulation techniques typically assume the signal is narrowband or has a specific modulation form, making them insufficiently adaptable to complex multi-component signals.
[0006] Furthermore, existing SST methods may amplify the effects of noise when compressing time-frequency coefficients. Under noise interference, the time-frequency representation is easily distorted, which can lead to weak fault features being submerged, making early fault detection difficult. Under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions, time-frequency energy diffusion is severe, reducing the reliability of fault feature extraction.
[0007] In terms of adaptability to actual working conditions, bearing signals exhibit strong non-stationarity when the speed or load changes, making it difficult for traditional methods to dynamically track instantaneous frequency (IF) changes. Summary of the Invention

[0068] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:
[0069] The keyless variable speed bearing fault diagnosis method of the present invention does not rely on a key phaser and can adapt to variable speed conditions. By extracting the time-frequency TF ridge width of the compression vibration signal from the peak extraction operator PEO of the TFRPET algorithm, the energy concentration of the time-frequency TF ridge is improved, and a high-resolution time-frequency representation of TFR is achieved, solving the problem of insufficient TFR resolution in the prior art, which affects the accuracy of bearing fault diagnosis.
[0070] The fault diagnosis method for keyless variable speed bearings of the present invention solves the problems of high hardware cost and complex installation caused by reliance on key phasers in the prior art.

It eliminates the dependence on prior instantaneous frequency information based on demodulation technology, improves the accuracy and reliability of non-stationary signal analysis, and effectively overcomes the influence of speed fluctuations by using angular domain resampling and order spectrum analysis. While reducing hardware costs, it improves the accuracy, stability and engineering applicability of fault diagnosis, and can perform fault diagnosis of variable speed bearings under the condition of keyless speed estimation.
[0071] Specifically, it includes:
[0072] 1) The TFRPET method proposed in this invention retains only the TF points within a certain range at the top of the time-frequency ridge through the Peak Extracting Operator (PEO), which significantly improves the energy concentration of TFR and can reveal the instantaneous characteristics of the signal more clearly compared with traditional SST, STFT and other methods;
[0073] 2) Unlike SST and other methods, which are prone to introducing noise during compression, TFRPET effectively removes noise interference by discarding TF points that are not at the top of the ridge, and can still obtain a clear and stable time-frequency distribution, especially under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions.
[0074] 3) The present invention proposes a joint fault diagnosis scheme that combines TFRPET with order analysis to construct a speed measurement-free method. By selecting a reference IF, corner domain resampling is completed and fault order spectrum analysis is achieved, which simplifies the diagnosis process.
[0075] 4) This invention is applicable to non-stationary vibration signals with complex characteristics such as multiple components and rapidly changing instantaneous frequencies. It can effectively extract the time-varying characteristic frequencies of bearing faults and meet the fault diagnosis needs under variable speed conditions.
[0076] The keyless phase-change speed bearing fault diagnosis method of this invention can directly obtain the instantaneous frequency from the vibration signal, overcoming the dependence on keyed phase hardware equipment, and can efficiently and accurately extract bearing fault features. It overcomes the limitations of traditional time-frequency analysis methods in terms of time-frequency resolution and energy focusing, and can effectively remove background noise information in the TFR, improving the time-frequency representation resolution of non-stationary vibration signals. By combining TFRPET with order analysis, it can accurately distinguish and identify non-steady-state components caused by speed changes, achieving precise extraction of bearing fault features under complex backgrounds, especially suitable for operating conditions under variable speed conditions. The TFRPET proposed in this invention can perform stable time-frequency reconstruction when the non-stationary characteristics of the signal change strongly, solving the problem that traditional SST and STFT methods are difficult to adapt to actual variable speed signals. Compared with SST, the method proposed in this invention provides high-quality TFR while supporting signal reconstruction, facilitating data fusion in subsequent fault diagnosis systems.

[0090] like Figure 1 As shown, the fault diagnosis method for keyless phase change speed bearings in this embodiment includes:
[0091] S1: Collect vibration signals from variable speed bearing faults;
[0092] S2: Apply the pre-constructed TFRPET algorithm to the vibration signal from step S1 to obtain a high-resolution time-frequency representation (TFR); the TFRPET algorithm compresses the time-frequency TF ridge width of the vibration signal through the peak extraction operator (PEO) to improve the energy concentration of the ridge line.
[0093] S3: Detect the TF ridge from the time-frequency representation TFR of step S2 according to the ridge detection technology and select a reference instantaneous frequency IF from the TF ridge;
[0094] S4: Using the reference instantaneous frequency IF from step S3, perform angular domain resampling and order spectrum diagnosis on the vibration signal from step S1 to obtain the fault diagnosis results of the keyless phase change speed bearing.
[0095] The specific implementation of each step is described below:
[0096] Step S1 includes:
[0097] Accelerometers are used to collect vibration signals of bearings under variable speed conditions. Local bearing faults can cause periodic impact vibrations, the frequency of which is related to the rotational speed. Therefore, collecting vibration signals of variable speed bearing faults can be used for subsequent fault diagnosis.
[0098] In step S2, the construction of the TFRPET algorithm includes:
[0099] S21: Perform a short-time Fourier transform (STFT) on the signal acquired in step S1 to generate a three-dimensional TFR and analyze the slice properties;
[0100] The vibration signal acquired in step S1 is subjected to a short-time Fourier transform (STFT) to obtain a signal as shown below. Figure 2 (a) shows the three-dimensional time-frequency representation (TFR) including the TF ridge, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 (a) The TF point at the top of the TF ridge, indicated by the red dashed line, has the maximum energy. Then, a slice is taken at a selected time along the normal direction of the TF ridge's time variation to obtain a two-dimensional, time-dependent TF ridge slice. Figure 2 (b) The curve of the TF ridge slice is defined as the edge line, resulting in the following: Figure 3 The two properties shown:
[0101] Property 1: The first derivative of a slice curve is zero at the maximum point, which means it passes through a zero point;
[0102] Property 2: The second derivative at the maximum point of the slice curve is a minimum, that is, a concave point.
[0103] Using these two properties, the TF point located at the top of the TF ridge can be searched along the normal direction of the TF ridge variation. This allows for the acquisition of a more concentrated TFR containing only the TF point at the top of the TF ridge.
[0104] In this embodiment, step S21 is implemented as follows:
[0105] The vibration signal of the bearing fault collected in step S1 is expressed as follows:

[0107] In the formula, and These represent the instantaneous amplitude and instantaneous phase of the bearing fault vibration signal, respectively; i represents an imaginary number;
[0108] Equation (1) is expressed using STFT as follows:
[0109] (2),
[0110] In the formula: Represents the window function. This represents the signal to be analyzed.
[0111] To calculate the subsequent instantaneous frequency, phase compensation is performed, and a phase operator is introduced here. Formula (2) can be rewritten as:

To better describe the distribution structure of TFR, TFR is extended to, for example... Figure 2 (a) shows the three-dimensional time-frequency space (TFS). The three-dimensional TFS of the harmonic signal exhibits a ridge-like structure. Subsequently, as shown in... Figure 2 (a) shows the TF ridge direction It is frequency A timeline showing changes over time; select a time frame to capture a slice, such as... Figure 2 As shown in (b), the slice is in It has the largest energy amplitude. .
[0120] like Figure 3 As shown, from Figure 2 The structure of the TF ridge slice shown in (b) yields two properties: the first derivative at the point of maximum value is a zero-crossing point, and the second derivative at the point of maximum value is a minimum point. The principle is that the energy of the harmonic signal... The slices converge at specific points, forming a time-frequency ridge. At the ridge apex, the slices satisfy the extremum condition, meaning the gradient is zero and the curvature is maximum.
[0121] Step S22: Based on the properties of the two-dimensional slice, extract the set of TF points at the ridge crest as the extracted TF ridge crest IF trajectory:
[0122] Based on the properties of the two-dimensional slice, the TF point at the ridge apex is preliminarily determined;
[0123] The STFT expression of the vibration signal is subjected to Taylor expansion at each of the preliminarily determined TF points at the ridge tops;
[0124] Based on each Taylor expansion, the offset of each TF point from the initially determined TF point of each ridge is calculated.
[0125] TF points whose offsets meet the preset extraction range and whose Hessian matrix eigenvalues meet the preset threshold requirements are retained as extracted ridge TF points;
[0126] The extracted set of TF points at the ridge crest is used as the extracted TF ridge crest IF trajectory.
[0127] In this embodiment, step S22 is implemented as follows:
[0128] First, based on the slice property that the first derivative is zero at the maximum point and the second derivative is a minimum at the maximum point, the TF point at the ridge apex is initially determined;
[0129] Then, the STFT expression for the vibration signal. Perform a second-order Taylor expansion at each TF point on the ridge crest. At a preliminarily determined TF point at the ridge apex. The second-order Taylor expansion is as follows:

[0137] According to formula (7), the following can be obtained: and In the formula, and Formula (8) can be used to... , In Replace with get.
[0138] Based on a preliminarily determined TF point at the ridge top The second-order Taylor expansion is used to solve for the distance from each TF point to the ridge TF point. Offset:
[0139] The TF point at the top of the TF ridge is located where the first derivative of the TF ridge passes through zero and the second derivative reaches its minimum value along the normal direction of the TF ridge; along the TF ridge, the TF point at the top of the TF ridge... Based on the normal direction, a preliminary vertices point (TF) is determined at the ridge crest. The second-order Taylor expansion, namely the expansion formula (6), will initially determine a ridge apex TF point. The normal direction is defined as Introducing parameters Formula (6) can be rewritten as:

Find the first derivative and set it equal to zero, which means setting the function... For parameters The first derivative is set to zero:

[0146] A preliminary TF point at the ridge apex was identified. normal direction The calculations include:
[0147] Based on a preliminarily determined TF point at the ridge top The second derivative yields the corresponding Hessian matrix, and the ridge TF point. The expression for the Hessian matrix is:
[0148] (12),
[0149] Based on the TF point at the ridge Calculating the TF point at the ridge crest using the Hessian matrix normal direction In this embodiment, the eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue with the largest absolute value of the Hessian matrix is the normal direction of the TF point at the ridge crest.
[0150] TF points whose offsets meet the preset extraction range and whose Hessian matrix eigenvalues meet the preset threshold requirements are retained as extracted ridge apex TF points, as follows:
[0151] The preset extraction range for the offset is: By retaining only the time-frequency points centered on the initially determined time-frequency ridge and within a certain frequency offset range, the diffusion width of the time-frequency ridge can be compressed, thereby improving the energy concentration of the time-frequency ridge. In other words, by extracting the time-frequency points in the neighborhood of the ridge line and discarding the energy diffused in the periphery, the purpose of sharpening the ridge line and improving the energy concentration can be achieved.
[0152] Retain the TF points whose Hessian matrix eigenvalues meet the preset threshold requirements, including:
[0153] Retaining the TF points whose corresponding Hessian matrix eigenvalues are less than a preset threshold Th can filter out background noise in the flat region outside the time-frequency ridge. The preset threshold Th is determined based on the Hessian matrix eigenvalues corresponding to each TF point under each frequency harmonic signal. Each frequency harmonic signal is a component of the bearing fault vibration signal, such as... Figure 8 The frequency shown is constant. The diagram shows the distribution of Hessian matrix eigenvalues corresponding to each time-frequency point in the time-frequency representation of the harmonic signal. The horizontal axis represents the order of the time-frequency points, and the vertical axis represents the magnitude of the eigenvalues. The area below -0.45 (red dashed line) in the diagram represents the time-frequency ridge TF point and its vicinity. In a specific embodiment, a preset threshold Th is set to -0.45, which can filter out background noise in the flat area outside the time-frequency ridge. Based on the distribution diagram of Hessian matrix eigenvalues corresponding to each time-frequency point in the time-frequency representation of the harmonic signal, the final preset threshold Th can be obtained.
[0154] TF points whose offsets meet the preset extraction range and whose Hessian matrix eigenvalues meet the preset threshold requirements are retained. As the extracted ridge apex TF point;
[0155] The extracted set of TF points at the ridge crest is used as the extracted TF ridge crest IF trajectory;
[0156] According to formula (9), the extracted TF ridge apex IF trajectory can be defined as In the formula, This indicates the extracted ridge crest TF point. A set;
[0157] Step S23: Define the peak extraction operator PEO for extracting the TF points at the ridge crest based on the extracted TF ridge crest IF trajectory, and generate the TFRPET algorithm:
[0158] Based on the extracted TF ridge crest IF trajectory Peak Extraction Operator (PEO) is used to extract peak values. The formula for calculating PEO is as follows:
[0159] (14)
[0160] In the formula, This indicates the position of any TF point in the TFR.
[0161] Based on the peak extraction operator PEO obtained from formula (14), the expression for the time-frequency ridge peak extraction transform (TFRPET) is obtained as follows:
[0162] (15)
[0163] PEO is used to directly extract the time-frequency point of the time-frequency ridge, map the original TFR to the sharpened new TFR, and eliminate energy diffusion.
[0164] Step S3 includes:
[0165] The TFRPET signal is applied to the fault vibration signal acquired in step S1 to output a high-resolution time spectrum.
[0166] Because TFRPET compresses the time-frequency ridge width through PEO, it improves energy concentration compared to traditional STFT.
[0167] Figure 4 This diagram illustrates a comparison of the feature extraction performance of the STFT method, SST method, and TFRPET algorithm in this embodiment. Figure 4 (a) and Figure 4 (b) shows the feature extraction performance of the STFT method; Figure 4 (c) and Figure 4 (d) indicates the feature extraction performance of the SST method; Figure 4 (e) and Figure 4 (f) represents the feature extraction performance of the TFRPET algorithm. From Figure 4 (a) to Figure 4 As can be seen from the comparison in (f), the dark blue region outside the TF ridge in the time-frequency features represented by STFT and SST is doped with a lot of background noise, and the feature energy is severely diverged. However, the TFRPET algorithm proposed in this invention is better than STFT and SST in reducing background noise and enhancing energy concentration, and has higher resolution.
[0168] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the effect of the TFRPET algorithm outputting high-resolution TFR in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 5 (a) is the vibration signal of the variable speed bearing fault measured in step S1. Figure 5 (b) is the method of this embodiment for Figure 5 (a) TFR results of the signal. From Figure 5 As can be seen from (b), the fault characteristic energy of features 1, 2, 3 and 4 is relatively concentrated, and the background noise is well removed.
[0169] Step S4 includes:
[0170] A reliable IF is estimated and selected as a reference IF using ridge line detection technology;
[0171] This embodiment uses a bearing outer ring failure as an example. A failure in the outer ring of a rolling bearing causes transient impacts when the rolling elements pass over the defect, resulting in periodic vibration signals. These vibration signals appear as periodic impact ridges on a time-frequency plane (such as the STFT), and the ridge frequency is the instantaneous frequency. The instantaneous frequency of the rolling bearing outer ring failure... The formula can be expressed as:
[0172] (16)
[0173] In the formula, Indicates the number of rolling elements; Indicates the diameter of the rolling element; Indicates the bearing pitch circle diameter (the diameter of the circle in which the rolling elements are distributed). This represents the contact angle, which is the contact angle between the rolling element and the inner and outer rings; This indicates a proportional correction term for the rolling element dimensions and bearing geometry. This indicates that half of the rolling elements will come into contact with the outer ring defect on each revolution. This indicates the rotational frequency of the shaft.
[0174] In this embodiment, a path tracing algorithm based on amplitude thresholds is used to detect ridge lines from the TFRPET results, such as... Figure 6 based on Figure 5 As shown in the IF extracted from the vibration signal TFR, the TFR obtained through the TFRPET method shows that all IF trajectories (IF1 to IF4) are relatively accurate. Therefore, as... Figure 6 In this context, selecting any reliable IF (IF1 to IF4) as the reference IF can effectively show the order relationship between different IFs.
[0175] Bearing failure impacts appear as clear ridges on TFRPET. In this embodiment, the instantaneous frequency of the ridge line for a rolling bearing outer ring failure is... The high resolution of TFRPET ensures the accuracy of all IF trajectories, and any IF trajectory in TFR obtained by the TFRPET algorithm reliably reflects the rotation frequency change.
[0176] Step S5: Angular domain resampling and order spectrum diagnosis
[0177] The fault vibration signal is resampled in the angular domain and the order spectrum is plotted. Fault diagnosis of the variable speed bearing is performed by identifying the fault-related order.
[0178] The TFR obtained from TFRPET is directly used to estimate the IF and obtain the order spectrum, with the fundamental frequency IF selected as the reference IF. Using this reference IF, the original vibration data is resampled in the angular domain. The order spectrum results can effectively identify the fault order and its multiple harmonic orders. Fault diagnosis of the transmission bearing is completed by identifying the fault characteristic orders.
[0179] Specifically, it includes:
[0180] Calculate the instantaneous angle based on the reference IF determined in step S4;
[0181] The vibration signal of the variable speed bearing fault acquired in step S1 is resampled at equal angular intervals according to the calculated instantaneous angle; angular domain resampling converts the non-stationary signal of the bearing fault vibration signal into an angular periodic stationary signal.
[0182] Perform an FFT on the resampling results to obtain the order spectrum; the order spectrum transforms the fault characteristics into a constant order independent of the rotational speed.
[0183] Identify the peak values in the order spectrum that match the theoretical fault order to perform variable speed bearing fault diagnosis; the fault characteristic order is clearly marked in the order spectrum, and the bearing fault type can be determined by combining the bearing parameters. Fault types include damage to the outer ring, inner ring, and rolling elements.
[0184] like Figure 7 The selection shown is as follows Figure 6 Using IF1 as a reference IF, the order analysis spectrum generated in step S5 is used. The order spectrum diagram shows the first, second, and third order rotational frequencies generated by rotor dynamics faults, as well as the bearing fault characteristic order of 3.628 (approximately 3.6) caused by local component damage faults. In this embodiment, the theoretical fault characteristic order of the rolling bearing outer ring fault is 3.572 (approximately 3.6), where the theoretical fault characteristic order M of the rolling bearing outer ring fault is calculated according to the formula: Based on the near-consistency between the measured order spectrum and the theoretical fault characteristic order, the fault diagnosis for the keyless phase change speed bearing can be obtained as follows: Figure 7 The bearing has an outer ring fault.
