The invention relates to a mine car hardware reliability assessment method, which comprises the following steps of: acquiring
failure data of key parts of a mine car, calculating to obtain an empirical function value, sequencing failure time according to a
time sequence to obtain a part service life sequence number, namely a failure rank, and calculating an empirical
distribution function by an approximate median rank formula; evaluating the reliability of the subsystems, and determining the reliability of the subsystems; constructing a
system reliability block diagram, and establishing a mine car
system structure tree according to three working logics of series connection, parallel connection and redundancy between mine car systems; and maintenance importance determination: finding out a key subsystem influencing the reliability of the
system, and then finding out key parts according to the importance as the direction and path for determining the maintenance importance. According to the method, the influence of high redundancy,
maintainability, nonlinearity and other structural characteristics of the mine car on the reliability state is described by using a maintenance importance index. From the part level to the
system level, weighted integration is carried out based on the
system structure tree model of the maintenance importance degree, and mine car multi-level reliability state evaluation is achieved.
