Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rotating machinery fault diagnosis technology, specifically relating to a planetary gearbox fault diagnosis method and related equipment based on empirical wavelet transform. Background Technology

[0002] During operation, the vibration signals collected by a planetary gearbox are affected by interference from the installation environment, complex alternating loads, and time-varying transmission paths. Furthermore, early gear component faults are weak, have low signal-to-noise ratios, and are modulated by fault signals. This makes early, subtle faults in the planetary gearbox difficult to identify.

[0003] To extract effective weak fault features from planetary gearbox signals, researchers have recently studied the characteristics of amplitude-frequency modulation (AM-FM) signals from planetary gearboxes. Traditional wavelet transform methods, such as continuous wavelet transform and discrete wavelet transform, have the following shortcomings: the wavelet basis cannot be changed once selected, the scale cannot be varied, and there is a lack of adaptability. Researchers have proposed an adaptive signal decomposition method called empirical wavelet transform (EWT). EWT divides the signal spectrum amplitude into a set of maximum boundaries, defines these boundaries as orthogonal filter banks, and then decomposes the signal into a set of tightly supported AM-FM signal components. Under actual operating conditions, non-stationary and nonlinear noisy signals can lead to poor fault band performance in EWT decomposition, with the band containing redundant regions or being over-segmented, resulting in component aliasing; incorrect component selection can also lead to components that do not contain fault impulse signals. Summary of the Invention

The initial frequency band is determined to be a faulty frequency band based on the comprehensive fault index. When the initial frequency band is a faulty frequency band, the boundary of the initial frequency band is reconstructed according to the comprehensive fault index and a preset boundary merging rule to obtain the target frequency band.

[0050] The vibration signal of the planetary gearbox in the fault diagnosis test bench was collected using an accelerometer, and the result was as follows: Figure 2 The time-domain waveform is shown below. Figure 2 It is evident that regular periodic impact characteristics are difficult to observe in the time-domain waveform of the vibration signal, while the amplitudes of noise and other irrelevant interference frequencies are more prominent. Therefore, traditional time-domain analysis methods cannot extract characteristic information representing the health status of the gearbox from the original fault signal.

[0051] Calculate the fault characteristic frequencies and meshing frequencies of the corresponding parts based on the structural parameters of the planetary gearbox. According to Table 1 and the calculation formula below, the characteristic frequency of sun gear failure can be obtained. The meshing frequency is 341.25 Hz.

The selection of the minimum value of the envelope line must meet the following conditions: [The selection is based on the minimum value of the envelope line.] The boundary condition is met; the difference between the selected minimum and the adjacent maximum of the envelope is maximized. The initial number of frequency bands is calculated as N = 12800 / (4 78.75)≈40, resulting in the following: Figure 3 The initial boundary delineation result is shown in the figure.

The larger the cross-correlation coefficient of the component signal, the more original fault information it contains. This represents the kurtosis value of the component signal; the larger the kurtosis value, the more severe the impact generated in the signal. In the fault feature index (FFI)... This represents the amplitude of the envelope spectrum in the frequency band. The larger the value, the more fault impact components are contained in the component signal of the envelope demodulation.

[0063] An improved EWT boundary is constructed based on the boundary merging rule. The signal is then subjected to EWT transform to obtain the empirical wavelet component signal, such as... Figure 4As shown. The formula is as follows:

The number of initial frequency bands is calculated based on the fault characteristic frequency and the meshing frequency. Then, based on the number of initial frequency bands, the signal spectrum of the planetary gearbox to be tested is divided using the minimum value method to obtain the initial frequency bands. The comprehensive fault index of the initial frequency band is calculated by using the cross-correlation coefficient between the component signals in the initial frequency band and the original signal, the kurtosis value of the component signals in the initial frequency band, and the fault characteristic index based on the theoretical fault characteristic frequency and the envelope spectrum amplitude in the initial frequency band. The initial frequency band is determined to be a faulty frequency band based on the comprehensive fault index. When the initial frequency band is a faulty frequency band, the boundary of the initial frequency band is reconstructed according to the comprehensive fault index and a preset boundary merging rule to obtain the target frequency band. The target frequency band is then used to perform EWT transformation on the signal spectrum to obtain the target EWT component signal. The IMF kurtosis value of each target EWT component signal is calculated, and the target EWT component signal with the largest IMF kurtosis value is selected as the sensitive EWT component signal. Envelope spectrum analysis is performed on the sensitive EWT component signal to obtain the fault conclusion for each component in the planetary gearbox to be tested.
