[0061] The application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following detailed description is only used to further illustrate the application and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the application according to the above application content.

[0062] Embodiment 1

[0063] As shown in Figures 1-2, the embodiment proposes a multi-source data fusion fault diagnosis method based on DS evidence theory, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps:

[0064] S1. Collecting multi-source information of the target device, the multi-source information including vibration data, image data and sound data;

[0065] In specific implementation, the multi-source information is collected by sensors installed on the mechanical equipment, the vibration sensor is used to collect the vibration data of the equipment, the sound sensor is used to collect the sound data of the equipment, and the image sensor is used to collect the image data of the equipment. These sensors will collect the real-time data for subsequent processing.

[0066] S2. Determining and extracting the characteristic indexes corresponding to the vibration data, image data and sound data;

[0067] As a preferred, determining and extracting the characteristic indexes corresponding to the vibration data, image data and sound data, comprising:

[0068] Determining and extracting the characteristic indexes of the vibration data of the plurality of target devices, including acceleration effective value, acceleration peak-to-peak value, acceleration pulse, acceleration margin, acceleration kurtosis, acceleration skewness, velocity effective value, velocity peak-to-peak value, velocity pulse, velocity margin, velocity kurtosis, velocity skewness, forming a first characteristic set;

[0069] Determining and extracting the characteristic indexes of the sound data of the plurality of target devices, including effective value, loudness, voiceprint roughness, frequency barycenter, sharpness, high-to-low frequency band energy ratio, peak-to-peak value, pulse, margin, kurtosis and skewness, forming a second characteristic set;

[0070] Determining and extracting the characteristic indexes of the image data of the plurality of target devices, including texture features, edge features, temperature distribution features and crack distribution features, forming a third characteristic set.

[0071] In step S2, the vibration sensor data feature extraction includes extracting time domain and frequency domain feature data of the vibration data, and the specific indexes are as follows:

[0072] (1) Vibration acceleration amplitude, vibration amplitude refers to the maximum deviation value of the vibration signal, which is usually used to represent the intensity of vibration.

[0073] (2) Acceleration effective value, which represents the intensity of vibration, is often used to measure the energy or power of vibration.

[0074] (3) Margin index, margin is the ratio of peak absolute value to square root amplitude, which reflects the impact characteristics of the signal. If this value is too large, it means that the signal has strong impact and is not sensitive to kurtosis.

[0075] (4) Kurtosis index, kurtosis reflects the impact characteristics of the vibration signal. Kurtosis is sensitive to impact, and the kurtosis value should be around 3 in general case, because the kurtosis of normal distribution is equal to 3. If it deviates from 3 too much, it means that the mechanical equipment has certain impact vibration and may have some hidden trouble. Kurtosis is more sensitive than margin, but the stability of the index is poor.

[0076] (5) Skewness index, skewness reflects the asymmetry of the vibration signal. In general case, the vibration signal is symmetric about the x-axis, so the skewness should tend to 0. If the friction or collision in a certain direction of the device is large, it will cause the asymmetry of the vibration and make the skewness larger.

[0077] (6) Peak-to-peak value, which has similar meaning as peak value, represents the change range of maximum and minimum values of vibration waveform.

[0078] (7) Pulse reflects the overall fluctuation degree of vibration data, and the calculation formula is the maximum value of data divided by the absolute average value.

[0079] In step S2, the sound sensor data feature extraction, the specific indicators are as follows:

[0080] (1) Short-time zero-crossing rate (ST-ZCR): it can reflect the fluctuation degree of sound signal, and simply reflect the frequency domain information from time domain. The original sound signal needs to pass through an anti-aliasing band-pass filter first, with a low-end cutoff frequency higher than 50 Hz, to filter out environmental noise and power interference.

[0081] (2) Short-time energy (STE): used to distinguish the boundary of sound.

[0082] (3) Linear prediction coefficient (LPC): the basic idea is that the human vocal system is a linear time-invariant system, and the sound sampling data close in time have strong correlation.

[0083] (4) Linear Predictive Cepstral Coefficients (LPCC): computed from LPC, the last C stands for cepstral domain, and LPC alike, it models linear systems. Compared to LPC, LPCC uses less data to express more effective information, and it is easy to implement.

[0084] (5) Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFSC): Mel frequency converts the non-uniform distribution of frequency into a uniform distribution of Mel frequency (good when the signal-to-noise ratio is low). The main process of sound MFSC extraction algorithm is: framing, windowing, fast Fourier transform, modulus, Mel filtering, logarithm (mfccs = librosa.feature.mfcc(y=y, sr=sr, n_mfcc=40)).

[0085] (6) Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC): MFSC is subjected to discrete cosine transform, compared to MFSC, MFCC outputs less data, lower dimension, weaker correlation, and less information, so generally different orders of difference coefficients are combined to use. (preprocessing, Hamming windowing, FFT change, through Mel triangular filter bank, mean and variance, transpose, FFT change, logarithmic operation through filter bank, DCT change.)

[0086] (7) GFCC coefficients: Gamma-tone filter bank is used to filter the sound.

[0087] (8) Peak value and corresponding frequency of power spectrum: according to the size of spectral energy, the first 8 peak values and corresponding frequencies (energy) are taken as feature vectors.

[0088] (9) Loudness: the loudness of sound is a subjective index to describe the intensity of sound perceived by human ear. Loudness is used to reflect the attribute of auditory judgment of sound intensity, which is related not only to sound pressure, but also to frequency, waveform and other factors.

[0089] (10) Sharpness: sharpness index describes the timbre characteristics in sound quality evaluation. The sharpness of sound describes the feeling related to the frequency component of sound but unrelated to the loudness of sound. It reflects the degree of feeling of sharpness, high frequency and discomfort, which is the contrast between high frequency energy and total energy in sound.

[0090] In step S2, the feature extraction of image data, specific indicators include:

[0091] (1) Texture features Texture features can characterize the state of the equipment surface through the gray value, edge, directionality, roughness, etc. When the equipment fails, different texture features often appear on the surface, which can reflect wear, cracks, corrosion, etc.

[0092] (2) Edge Features Edge features are used to identify abrupt changes, defects, and variations in the surface or internal structure of a device. Faults often result in significant changes at the edges, such as cracks, wear, or the presence of foreign objects.

[0093] (3) Temperature Distribution Map (Thermal Imaging Features) In thermal imaging images, faults are usually manifested as uneven heat distribution. For example, faults such as motor overheating and bearing wear may cause local temperature increases, and these anomalies can be detected by temperature distribution maps.

[0094] (4) Crack Detection: Image processing technology can effectively detect cracks on the surface or inside of equipment, especially in structural components, welds, pipes, etc. The occurrence of cracks is usually a precursor to failure.

[0095] S3. Principal component analysis algorithm is used to reduce the dimensionality of the feature indicators.

[0096] It should be noted that before applying the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) algorithm, the data needs to be preprocessed to ensure data quality and applicability.

[0097] The steps include:

[0098] (1) Data cleaning: Delete or correct missing values, outliers and erroneous data.

[0099] (2) Standardization (Normalization): Since PCA depends on the covariance matrix, and the magnitude of the covariance is affected by the scale of each feature, it is necessary to standardize or normalize the data to ensure that all features have the same scale. The mean of the standardized data is 0 and the standard deviation is 1.

[0100] Preferably, principal component analysis (PCA) is used to reduce the dimensionality of the feature indices, including:

[0101] Calculate the covariance matrix of each standardized feature set;

[0102] The eigenvalues ​​and eigenvectors of each covariance matrix are calculated using numerical algorithms (such as the QR algorithm, the Jacobi method, etc.).

[0103] According to the size of the eigenvalue, the target feature vector is determined, and a principal component space is constructed therefrom; specifically, according to the size of the eigenvalue, the first several principal components whose cumulative explained variance reaches a predetermined threshold (such as 90% or 95%) are selected to form a new feature space;

[0104] The standardized covariance matrix is projected into the principal component space for matrix multiplication to obtain the dimension-reduced feature index.

[0105] S4. According to the dimension-reduced feature index, a pre-constructed fault diagnosis model based on time-frequency domain features and Naive Bayes is trained, and a first diagnosis result of the fault of the to-be-tested equipment is determined based on the fault diagnosis model;

[0106] As preferred, according to the dimension-reduced feature index, a pre-constructed fault diagnosis model based on time-frequency domain features and Naive Bayes is trained, and a first diagnosis result of the fault of the to-be-tested equipment is determined based on the fault diagnosis model, comprising:

[0107] According to the fault mode or historical fault record of the target equipment, the fault type of the target equipment is determined, the fault type is taken as a class label, and a training set including the dimension-reduced feature index and the corresponding fault class label is formed;

[0108] The prior probability P(Ck) of each fault type in the training set is calculated;

[0109] The likelihood probability P(xi|Ck) of each feature index under each fault type is calculated;

[0110] The posterior probability P(Ck|X) of the dimension-reduced feature index X of the to-be-tested equipment belonging to each fault type is calculated through Bayes' theorem, and the fault type with the maximum posterior probability is selected as the first diagnosis result, and the expression is:

[0111]

[0112]

[0113]

[0114] wherein, C k represents the fault type; P(C k ) is the prior probability of the fault class C k ; P(X|C k ) represents the conditional probability of X under the class C k ; P(C k |X) represents the posterior probability of the fault class C k given the feature X; P(X) represents a normalization constant of all fault types; and arg max is the fault class C k that maximizes the posterior probability.

[0115] S5. Fusing the first diagnostic results by DS evidence theory to determine the second diagnostic result.

[0116] As preferred, fusing the first diagnostic results by DS evidence theory to determine the second diagnostic result comprises:

[0117] converting the first diagnostic results into evidence bodies in DS evidence theory, each evidence body representing a degree of belief of a signal source to a fault type, the signal sources including vibration sensors, image sensors and sound sensors;

[0118] constructing a belief function for each fault type in each signal source;

[0119] fusing the belief functions of the multiple evidence bodies to obtain a merged belief function;

[0120] selecting a fault type with a maximum belief value from the merged belief function as the second diagnostic result.

[0121] In some optional embodiments, selecting a fault type with a maximum belief value from the merged belief function as the second diagnostic result comprises:

[0122] updating the merged belief function based on a set conflict management strategy, and selecting a fault type corresponding to a maximum belief value from the updated belief function as the second diagnostic result;

[0123] wherein the set conflict management strategy comprises:

[0124] (1) quantifying a conflict degree between different signal sources based on a conflict, and when the conflict degree exceeds a preset threshold, selecting to exclude the conflict information from evidence synthesis to update the merged belief function, the conflict information being one or more of inconsistent diagnostic results, inconsistent probability distribution, inconsistent feature indicators, inconsistent time or space;

[0125] (2) adjusting a weight of the conflict evidence based on a reliability or historical data of the evidence source to update the merged belief function.

[0126] More specifically, regarding the definition of the above conflict information:

[0127] inconsistent diagnostic results: different signal sources give different diagnostic results for the same fault type.

[0128] inconsistent probability distribution: in a Bayesian fault diagnosis model, there is a significant difference in the probability distribution of the same fault type by different signal sources.

[0129] Inconsistency in features: After PCA dimensionality reduction, the feature indicators extracted by each signal source have obvious differences in numerical value or trend.

[0130] Inconsistency in time or space: Different signal sources do not match in the time point or spatial position of fault occurrence, for example, the vibration sensor detects the fault earlier than the image sensor.

[0131] In specific implementation, after obtaining the first diagnostic results of each sensor, DS evidence theory is used for fault fusion diagnosis. The specific steps are as follows:

[0132] (1) Convert the first diagnostic results into evidence bodies in DS evidence theory, and each evidence body represents the confidence degree of a signal source (such as vibration sensor, image sensor and sound sensor) to the fault type.

[0133] (2) Construct a belief function (Basic Probability Assignment, BPA) for each fault type in each signal source, and assign a belief function value to each fault type, indicating the credibility of the fault type.

[0134] (3) Fuse the belief functions of multiple evidence bodies to obtain the merged belief function. In the fusion process, the conflict management strategy set above is used to handle the conflict and uncertainty between evidences.

[0135] (4) According to the merged belief function, select the fault type with the maximum belief value as the second diagnostic result. This fault type is the most likely fault type, which is used to guide the subsequent maintenance and fault handling.

[0136] It should be further explained that in the present embodiment, the updated merged belief function based on the set conflict management strategy in actual application, different evidence sources may give conflicting information. DS theory measures these conflicts through conflict degree (K value). The greater the conflict degree, the lower the credibility of the final diagnostic result.

[0137] Specific steps:

[0138] In the synthesis process, when conflicts are encountered, conflicts need to be handled. There are usually two ways to handle them:

[0139] (1) Ignore the conflict information: exclude the conflict information from the synthesis.

[0140] (2) Adjust BPA: adjust the final BPA by reducing the weight of the conflicting evidence.

[0141] After completing the update of the fusion belief function, subsequent diagnostic reasoning is performed according to the synthesis result.

[0142] In the embodiment, according to the combined confidence function, the fault type with the maximum confidence value is selected as the second diagnostic result, and in the specific implementation, the following steps are included:

[0143] From the fused BPA, the fault type with the maximum BPA value is selected as the final diagnostic result. This fault type is the most likely fault type.

[0144] If the BPA values of certain fault types are very close, further diagnosis can be performed to confirm the final result.

[0145] According to the above embodiments of the present application, the present application can comprehensively consider the vibration, image and sound data of the mechanical equipment, extract more effective fault indicators, and realize more comprehensive fault identification. At the same time, through PCA dimension reduction processing and construction and training of the Bayesian fault diagnosis model, the complexity and cost of data processing are reduced. Finally, through DS evidence theory, the fault fusion diagnosis is performed, and the accuracy and reliability of the fault diagnosis are improved. This method can significantly improve the operation efficiency and safety of the mechanical equipment, and reduce the maintenance cost and production loss in practical application.

[0146] In combination with FIG. 3, in another embodiment of the present application, a multi-source data fusion fault diagnosis system based on DS evidence theory is proposed, which is applied to the multi-source data fusion fault diagnosis method based on DS evidence theory described above, and the system includes:

[0147] A data acquisition module is configured to acquire multi-source information of a target device, and the multi-source information includes vibration data, image data and sound data. Correspondingly, the data acquisition module includes a vibration sensor, an image sensor and a sound sensor.

[0150] A first diagnostic module is configured to train a pre-constructed fault diagnosis model based on time-frequency domain features and naive Bayes according to the dimension-reduced feature indicators, and determine a first diagnostic result of a fault of the target device based on the fault diagnosis model.

[0151] A second diagnostic module is configured to fuse the first diagnostic result by using DS evidence theory to determine a second diagnostic result.

[0152] It should be noted that the modules in the above fault diagnosis system correspond to steps S1 to S5 in the implementation of the above fault diagnosis method, and the instances and application scenarios realized by the modules and the corresponding steps are the same, but are not limited to the content disclosed in the above embodiment 1.
