Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fault diagnosis methods, specifically to an experimental system and method for diagnosing hydraulic cylinder leakage faults based on information fusion. Background Technology

[0002] As the core actuator of a hydraulic system, the reliability and stability of the hydraulic cylinder are crucial for the stable operation of the hydraulic system. Hydraulic oil leakage is one of the most common failure modes of hydraulic cylinders, which can be divided into two types according to the type of leakage: internal leakage and external leakage. External leakage refers to hydraulic oil seeping into the external environment through the gaps in the hydraulic components. Its main characteristic is that it can be directly observed, and the solution is relatively simple. Internal leakage refers to oil leakage that occurs inside the system. Under the action of pressure difference, it starts from the high-pressure chamber, flows to the low-pressure chamber through the gap between the piston and the cylinder. Because it occurs inside the system, this fault has the characteristic of being hidden and cannot be determined by direct observation.

[0003] Besides causing environmental pollution and wasting hydraulic oil, the most significant consequence of hydraulic cylinder leakage is its impact on cylinder performance. Severe leakage can lead to insufficient power, creeping, and vibration in the hydraulic cylinder. Traditional methods for diagnosing hydraulic cylinder leakage have limitations, such as requiring machine shutdown for testing or being susceptible to pressure fluctuations. These methods fail to meet the real-time monitoring needs of current industrial automation and cannot provide early warnings of leakage faults, thus hindering timely prevention and elimination of leakage faults. Therefore, this invention proposes an experimental system and method for diagnosing hydraulic cylinder leakage faults based on information fusion. Summary of the Invention

[0049] Working principle: When performing leakage fault diagnosis, the shut-off valve 15 is opened, and the variable pump 1 and fixed displacement pump 3 are started to supply oil to the hydraulic cylinder leakage fault diagnosis experimental system. The hydraulic cylinder test is started. The pilot-operated relief valve 11, pressure reducing valve 23, and second direct-acting relief valve 24 adjust the oil inlet and outlet pressure of the test system. The first speed control valve 27 and the second speed control valve 26 adjust the system flow rate. The first pressure sensor 33 and the second pressure sensor 34 monitor the pressure in the two chambers of the hydraulic cylinder under test in real time. The displacement sensor 36 monitors the piston rod displacement of the hydraulic cylinder. The servo valve 25 is energized in the right position to control the extension of the hydraulic cylinder piston rod. The piston rod moves to its final position. When the stroke ends, the first ball valve 31 is closed and the second ball valve 32 is opened. The flow sensor 30 monitors the internal leakage from the rod chamber to the rodless chamber of the hydraulic cylinder. The left position of the servo valve 25 is energized, controlling the retraction of the hydraulic cylinder piston rod. After the piston stroke ends, the second ball valve 32 is closed and the first ball valve 31 is opened. The flow sensor 30 monitors the internal leakage from the rodless chamber to the rod chamber. The return oil pressure of the oil port T of the servo valve 25 is regulated by the second direct-acting relief valve 24 to monitor the internal leakage of the oil. When the hydraulic cylinder piston stroke ends, the internally leaked oil flows through the flow sensor through the corresponding ball valve, thereby realizing the monitoring of the internal leakage of the oil.

[0050] An experimental method for diagnosing hydraulic cylinder leakage faults based on information fusion, the experimental method specifically includes the following steps:

[0051] S1. The specific parameters of a typical hydraulic cylinder during operation are collected by sensors and instruments on the valve-controlled cylinder model. The valve-controlled cylinder model is modeled using Amesim simulation software. The main components of the valve-controlled cylinder model include a variable pump, a three-position four-way servo valve, and a single-acting piston cylinder. Software simulation experiments on leakage faults are conducted. The simulation experiment process refers to the above working principle. The experimental variables are oil pressure, load, and temperature, and the dependent variable is the leakage amount. The key factors affecting hydraulic cylinder leakage are preliminarily identified.

[0052] S2. Based on the key factors obtained in step S1, distinguish between offline and online situations, and then conduct dynamic and static experiments respectively. In the offline state, the detection of faulty hydraulic cylinders is carried out on the test bench, and separate experimental studies are conducted on the faulty components. The online experiment is to monitor the status of hydraulic cylinders under actual working conditions.

[0053] In both offline and online states, static experimental performance parameters include the output force of the experimental cylinder under a specific load, the displacement accuracy of the experimental cylinder under a given displacement, and the leakage of the experimental cylinder; dynamic experimental performance parameters include the response speed of the experimental cylinder to input commands and the operational stability under sudden load changes. Based on offline and online experimental samples, fault diagnosis of the hydraulic cylinder is completed.

[0054] Therefore, valve-controlled cylinder models are established for different hydraulic cylinders under test, leakage detection is performed, and the cause of failure is finally determined.

[0055] In this embodiment, the data collected in step S1 includes the structural dimensions of the hydraulic cylinder and the pressure in both chambers of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0056] In this embodiment, in step S1, the leakage mathematical model derived from the structural analysis of the hydraulic cylinder is as follows:

[0057] ;

[0058] ;

[0059] ;

[0060] ;

[0061] In the formula, This is a leak model of a gap between two fixed parallel plates. This is a leak model of a gap between two parallel flat plates with relative motion. For annular gap leakage model, For orifice leakage model, The pressure difference between the two chambers The oil pressure in the leakage chamber. The width of the gap. For the gap thickness, The length of the gap. For fluid dynamic viscosity, The relative velocity of the parallel plates. For the eccentric ratio, The width of the gap between the piston and the cylinder. The diameter of the hydraulic cylinder piston. The dynamic viscosity of the oil. The area of ​​the leakage orifice. This represents the density of the oil.

[0062] In this embodiment, step S1 studies the impact of different leakage scenarios on the operation of the valve-controlled cylinder model for different leakage mathematical models, providing a reference for determining key factors. Finally, the relationship curve between key factors and leakage is fitted, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the numerical relationship between the pressure difference between the two chambers of the hydraulic cylinder and the leakage amount is displayed under different leakage coefficients (i.e. different leakage amounts). This yields the key failure factor: the pressure difference between the two chambers of the hydraulic cylinder, and verifies the feasibility of internal leakage fault diagnosis by monitoring the pressure difference between the two chambers of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0063] In this embodiment, during the offline testing experiment, the faulty hydraulic cylinder is installed on the testing platform and tested at the component level. The control variables are the structural parameters, pressure, flow rate, oil temperature and system gain of the hydraulic cylinder, and the result variable is the leakage amount.

[0064] The control variable in the online monitoring experiment was the leakage of the hydraulic cylinder, and the result variables were pressure, displacement, static and dynamic performance.

[0065] The fault sample library established during the experiment includes the fault sample parameters obtained from the experiment, which are then uniformly stored in the fault sample library on the PC.

[0066] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is illustrative rather than restrictive. Those skilled in the art will understand that many changes, modifications, and even equivalents can be made within the spirit and scope defined by the claims of the present invention, all of which will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
