Specifically, it involves the classification of original fault data of CNC machine tools, grouping and processing of fault data, model parameter estimation based on least squares method and maximum likelihood method, model hypothesis testing based on KS method, model optimization based on correlation coefficient method, and reliability assessment. Background Technology

[0002] A reliability model is a prerequisite for reliability assessment. It is based on machine tool failure data and uses mathematical statistics to calculate relevant reliability indicators. Currently, a common approach is to pre-define a uniform distribution model and then estimate and verify the model parameters. However, in reality, a single distribution model is difficult to accurately reflect the different distribution characteristics of machine tool subsystem failure data, leading to significant differences in subsequent reliability assessment results. Therefore, further research is needed on the applicability of distribution models. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention is achieved using the following technical solution, which is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0004] A model-based reliability assessment method for CNC machine tools includes the following steps:

[0005] Step 1: Divide the fault data based on the subsystem partitioning of the CNC machine tool;

[0006] Step 2: Group the fault data using the Stochastic empirical formula;

[0007] Step 3: Model parameter estimation;

[0008] Step 4: Perform model hypothesis testing using the KS method;

[0009] Step 5: Optimize the model using the correlation coefficient method;

[0010] Step 6: Conduct reliability assessment using the mean time between failures (MTBF) with different distribution functions.

[0011] The specific method for step one is as follows:

[0012] Taking into account industry consensus, machine tool structural characteristics, and the functions of each part, CNC machine tools are divided into 11 subsystems, and fault data are divided according to the system to which they belong.

[0013] The specific method for grouping and processing fault data based on the Stochastics empirical formula in step two is as follows:

[0014] (1) Determining the number of groups k

[0015] After obtaining the fault data, to facilitate discussion of the distribution type of fault interval times, it is necessary to first calculate the time interval between every two faults. Secondly, these interval times need to be divided into several groups to better observe their distribution patterns. The group size should be chosen appropriately; it should not be too large or too small, otherwise it will lead to imbalance in the fault data within each interval, thus increasing the fitting error. Based on the Sturgess empirical formula, the number of groups k is determined as follows:

[0016] (1)

[0017] Where, n f This represents the total number of subsystem failures.

[0018] Calculate Then, the number of groups k is rounded up according to the actual situation. Then, the fault interval time is divided into k groups on average, and the number of fault interval points falling in each group is counted. A group statistics table is drawn, as shown in Table 1.

[0019] In Table 1, t max Δt is the maximum fault interval time. i– Let Δt be the left endpoint of the grouping interval. i+ This is the right endpoint of the grouping interval. t i The midpoint of the grouped intervals, n i f is the number of fault data in the i-th group. i Let F be the probability density value of the i-th group. i f is the cumulative distribution function value for the i-th group. i and F i The calculation formula is as follows:

Taking the logarithm of both sides of the cumulative distribution function, we have .make , Then you can get .

[0028] Suppose there are n data pairs (x i y i (satisfies linear relationship) Based on the least squares method, the coefficients a0 and a1 of the linear relationship can be obtained as follows: (4)

[0029] The relationship between the unknown parameter λ of the exponential distribution and the regression coefficients a0 and a1 obtained by the least squares method is as follows: .

[0037] (6)

[0038] (4) Log-normal distribution

[0039] Assume that the fault data of the CNC machine tool subsystem follows a log-normal distribution, and the probability density function is: The cumulative distribution function is In the formula σ l μ is the scale parameter. l These are location parameters. They can be converted to a standard normal distribution. The left quantile of the standard normal distribution is obtained. ,make , Then a linear relationship can be constructed. .

A larger R value indicates a higher linearity between the measured data and a better linear fit, thus determining the final reliability model. The correlation coefficient R is calculated as follows:
