TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to bearing fault diagnosis technical field especially relates to a bearing data acquisition equipment based on multi sensor fusion technique. BACKGROUND
[0002] Bearing fault diagnosis is crucial to ensure the safety, stability and efficient operation of mechanical equipment. As an indispensable part of mechanical equipment, the normal work of bearing directly affects the performance and life of the whole system. By diagnosing bearing failure in time and accurately, potential problems can be found in advance, unplanned downtime and maintenance caused by bearing damage can be avoided, economic losses can be reduced, and production efficiency can be improved.
[0003] When the bearing fails, abnormal signals such as vibration, sound wave and temperature will occur, so the common fault analysis methods include oil analysis method, temperature monitoring method, acoustic emission analysis method and vibration signal analysis method. The vibration signal analysis method analyzes the fault state of the bearing by installing vibration sensors to collect the vibration signals of the bearing. Compared with the other three methods, the vibration signal often contains more information, is suitable for detecting bearings of multiple types and variable working conditions, and is therefore widely used for detecting and diagnosing bearing failure.
[0004] Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) is a non-contact measurement tool specially used for accurate measurement of object surface vibration. It is based on the principle of Doppler effect, that is, when there is relative motion between the light source and the observer, the frequency of the light wave received by the observer will change. In the laser Doppler vibrometer, this effect is used to measure the vibration speed or displacement of the object. Nitrile rubber (NBR), also known as nitrile rubber, is a synthetic rubber copolymerized from butadiene and acrylonitrile. It is particularly suitable for environments with oil and solvent contact, has good friction performance and aging resistance, and is widely used in automobile oil seals, rubber pads, etc.
[0005] The traditional bearing fault data acquisition equipment has the following problems:
[0006] (1) The sensors used today are generally acceleration sensors, speed sensors and displacement sensors. Data acquisition usually needs to be in contact with the measured object, and long-term use will cause wear between the sensor and the surface of the measured object.
[0007] (2) The sensitivity of the vibration sensor is not enough when collecting minor faults, and the dynamic range of the sensor is relatively small, which may miss some fault signals in certain frequency range.
[0008] (3) The test bench cannot adapt to bearings of multiple scales, has weak generalization, and has few applicable scenarios;
[0009] (4) bearing fault performance is not clear enough, the user can not intuitively handle and analyze.
[0010] Patent CN221883050U proposes a bearing fault diagnosis test bench convenient to disassemble, through the cooperation of the positioning turntable, positioning mechanism and rotation control mechanism, the bearing is fixed in the positioning mechanism, then the positioning turntable is used for rotation, and is moved to the test under the rotation control mechanism one by one, so that the detection speed and bearing test efficiency are improved; The bearing fault diagnosis test bench proposed in patent CN221764887U tests the bearing body to test the fault condition of the bearing body under different rotating speeds, has good applicability, and is convenient for clamping bearing bodies of different sizes for test; Patent CN221350530U proposes a device for detecting rolling bearing fault, the friction force between the plug and the positioning block drives the positioning block to rotate, the surface of the positioning block abuts against the surface of the detection line, the length of the detection line can be positioned, and the detection probe can be placed in the placement groove, so that the stability and practicability are improved.
