Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of signal processing and fault diagnosis technology, specifically to a bondless phase order tracking method based on deep time-frequency refinement. Background Technology

[0002] Time-frequency analysis, as an important tool for processing non-stationary signals, is widely used in signal feature extraction and fault diagnosis. However, traditional time-frequency analysis methods typically rely on fixed analysis kernels and parameter settings, limiting their time-frequency resolution to preset window functions and scale parameters, and failing to adaptively adjust to local signal features. This makes it easy for time-frequency energy to diffuse in complex signals, especially multi-component and variable-speed non-stationary signals, leading to blurred or discontinuous instantaneous frequency ridges, thus affecting the accuracy of subsequent analysis.

[0003] In recent years, deep learning-based time-frequency analysis methods have emerged, particularly in signal processing and feature extraction, where deep neural networks are used to construct mappings from raw signals to high-resolution time-frequency representations. While some deep learning-based time-frequency analysis methods have successfully improved time-frequency resolution, these methods typically rely on traditional time-frequency transforms as input, failing to fundamentally address the inherent limitations of traditional time-frequency analysis methods. This is especially true when dealing with signals under conditions of multiple adjacent components, cross frequencies, and strong noise, where issues such as energy diffusion, ridge blurring, and parameter sensitivity persist.

[0215] Example 13:

[0216] A bondless phase order tracking method based on deep time-frequency refinement is presented. The main technical content is described in Example 12. Furthermore, this example verifies the bondless phase order tracking method based on deep time-frequency refinement described in Example 12 using a rolling bearing variable speed dynamics simulation signal. Unless otherwise specified, the processing flow in this example is the same as the steps in Example 12, and will not be repeated here.

The modulation coefficient, This represents a modulation function related to rotational speed. For frequency conversion and harmonic components, It is additive white Gaussian noise.

[0220] Table 1. Simulation Model Bearing Structure Parameter Settings

[0221]

[0222] 10dB of Gaussian white noise was added to the constructed variable speed bearing simulation signal, and the signal was downsampled to 440Hz for time-frequency analysis.

[0223] The simulated signals are input into the deep time-frequency refined model trained in Implementation 12 for inference, resulting in refined time-frequency representations, such as... Figure 2 As shown. In the refined time-frequency characterization, the frequency conversion and its harmonic components form a continuous and energy-concentrated time-frequency ridge in the time-frequency plane, which effectively suppresses background noise and energy diffusion.

[0224] Based on the refined time-frequency representation, ridge tracking is performed using a local maximum search method to obtain the instantaneous frequency sequence of the frequency transition. Integrating this instantaneous frequency sequence over time yields instantaneous phase information, which is used for subsequent angular domain resampling.

[0225] The instantaneous phase information is used to resample the original vibration signal in the angular domain to obtain an equal-angle sampled signal. Then, spectral analysis is performed on the angular domain signal to obtain the order spectrum results, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0226] The order of the main peak in the order spectrum is approximately 4.93, which is basically consistent with the theoretical inner ring fault order of 4.92. This indicates that the time-frequency characterization obtained through deep time-frequency refinement can provide accurate phase information for instantaneous frequency extraction and bondless phase order tracking, thus verifying the effectiveness of this method under variable speed conditions.

[0227] Example 14:

[0228] A method for tracking the order of a bondless phase based on deep time-frequency refinement is presented. The main technical content is described in Example 12.

[0231]

[0232] Bearing faults can be identified through fault characteristic frequencies in the frequency domain. Based on the bearing structural parameters shown in Table 2, the fault characteristic order of the inner ring is calculated to be 5.43. Since this order is determined solely by the bearing structural parameters and is independent of speed variations, it can be used as a criterion for order tracking results under variable speed conditions.

[0233] The acquired raw vibration signal is subjected to resonance demodulation processing to obtain an envelope signal, which is then input into the deep time-frequency refined model trained in Example 12 for inference to obtain refined time-frequency representation results, such as... Figure 5 As shown. In the time-frequency characterization, the fault characteristic frequency and its harmonic components exhibit a continuous and energy-concentrated ridge structure in the time-frequency plane.

[0234] Fault characteristic frequencies are obtained by tracking local maxima, and known theoretical fault orders are used. The frequency can be obtained by the following formula:

[0235] (17)

[0236] Integrating the instantaneous frequency sequence yields instantaneous phase information, which is then used for subsequent angular domain resampling.

[0237] The instantaneous phase information is used to resample the original vibration signal in the angular domain to obtain an equal-angle sampled signal. Then, spectral analysis of the angular domain signal is performed to obtain the order spectrum results, such as... Figure 6 As shown.

[0238] The spectrum shows obvious peaks at approximately the 5.43rd order and its harmonics, and the peak positions are consistent with the theoretical inner ring fault characteristic order. This indicates that the method can accurately estimate the rotational speed phase and achieve order tracking under keyless conditions, thereby completing the bearing fault characteristic identification.

[0240] A bondless phase order tracking method based on deep time-frequency refinement is presented. The main technical content is described in Example 12. Furthermore, this example verifies the bondless phase order tracking method based on deep time-frequency refinement using measured vibration data collected from a bearing test bench at the University of Ottawa. Unless otherwise specified, the processing flow in this example is the same as the steps in Example 12 and will not be repeated.

The vibration signal sampling frequency is 200 kHz, and the sampling duration is 10 s.

[0242] The acquired raw vibration signal is input into the deep time-frequency refined model trained in Example 12 for inference to obtain refined time-frequency representation results, such as... Figure 8 As shown. In the time-frequency representation, the frequency components related to the rotation frequency form a continuous and stable time-frequency ridge structure in the time-frequency plane.

[0243] Table 3 Bearing structural parameter settings

[0244]

[0245] The instantaneous frequency sequence of the frequency shifter is obtained by tracking the ridge line of the frequency shifter using the local maximum search method.

[0246] The instantaneous frequency sequence of the frequency conversion is integrated over time to obtain instantaneous phase information, and the instantaneous phase is used to resample the original vibration signal in the angular domain to obtain an equal-angle sampled signal.

[0247] Spectral analysis of angular domain signals yields order spectrum results, such as... Figure 8 As shown, a stable spectral peak appears at approximately the 5.43rd order and its harmonics, and the order positions are consistent with the theoretical fault characteristic orders. This indicates that the rotational frequency information obtained through refined time-frequency characterization can be used for accurate phase estimation and order tracking, further verifying the applicability and stability of this method under different rotational speed variations.
