Description

Bearing fault feature extraction method, device, equipment and storage medium

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of rolling bearing fault diagnosis technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a device, and a computer storage medium for extracting bearing fault characteristics.

Background

Rolling bearings are the most common bearings. They are commonly used to carry heavy objects in harsh environments and are one of the most prone to failure. 44% of large induction motor failures are related to bearing failures. Bearing failure can lead to productivity and economic loss and even catastrophic consequences. Therefore, bearing failure detection is of great significance. Most of the many methods that have been developed are based on sound, temperature, wear and vibration. Among other things, vibration signatures have been found to be a powerful tool for bearing failure detection. When the rolling elements pass through the defective area, small collisions occur, resulting in a series of mechanical pulses. These impulses cause the system natural mechanical frequency to resonate at high speeds. The resonant frequency is then modulated, and the fault signature frequency (Fault Characteristic Frequency: FCF) and detected primary information are named by the bearing fault pulse frequency. One of the most common detection techniques, the signal is enveloped by amplitude demodulation of the vibration signal. The bearing health can then be determined based on the frequency spectrum. Hilbert transform is commonly used for this purpose. However, the hilbert transform is susceptible to noise and interference. In order to obtain reliable detection results, a pretreatment is required and filtration is usually necessary. Typically, a high resonant frequency technique (high resonance frequency technique: HRFT) is used. The main steps of the method include filtering the vibration signal around the resonance frequency, enveloping the filtered signal, and fourier transforming the demodulated signal. The design of bandpass filters is usually based on unknown resonant frequencies, so that proper center frequency and bandwidth are important, and selecting an appropriate solution is a challenging task.

The most widely used envelope methods in the literature for bearing condition monitoring include hilbert transform, EO and MMA. Although they have their own advantages, they all have their own disadvantages, summarized as follows: the hilbert transform (1) is susceptible to vibration interference and noise, and therefore requires pre-filtering, which involves a challenging filter parameter selection process, (2) EO approaches are limited by single components and narrow bands, whose effectiveness is often affected by multiple interferences, (3) for MMA techniques, SE structures, computational effort is high, processing efficiency for multiple interferences is low, limiting their application in bearing fault signature extraction.

From the above, it can be seen how to reduce the influence of the interference signal and improve the fault characteristics is a problem to be solved at present.

In order to better understand the aspects of the present invention, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and detailed description. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of a first embodiment of a method for extracting bearing fault characteristics according to the present invention; the specific operation steps are as follows:

step S101: collecting a bearing vibration signal, and carrying out windowing interception on the bearing vibration signal;

step S105: and setting the peak value of the envelope signal with the difference value of the peak value and the standard deviation smaller than 1 as 1, wherein the rest envelope signals are bearing fault characteristics.

In the embodiment, firstly, a vibration sensor is used for collecting signals of bearing vibration, then a Katz algorithm is used for calculating the distance between the signals and the total length of a curve, further fractal dimension values between the signals are calculated, and then the bearing signals are converted into short-time fractal dimension sequences based on the fractal dimension values; the fractal dimension conversion is adopted to inhibit the interference signal, so that the fault signal is more prominent. And removing the interference signal according to a peak value searching algorithm, reserving the fault signal, and finally obtaining a more perfect fault signal. The invention can monitor the bearing fault state on line in real time.

Based on the above embodiments, the present embodiment describes the method for extracting the bearing fault characteristics in detail, please refer to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a second specific embodiment of the method for extracting the bearing fault characteristics provided by the present invention; the specific operation steps are as follows:

step S201: collecting bearing vibration signals by using a vibration sensor;

step S202: calculating Euclidean distance and total length of a curve between signals according to the bearing vibration signals;

referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a comparison chart of the present invention for extracting bearing failure features using STFD transformation, wherein: (a) a pulse signal; (b) And (c) and (d) respectively using Katz, sevcik and Higuchi methods, and comparing to obtain the best effect by using the Katz method, and uniformly differentiating peaks of the images.

The acquired vibration signal is s= { s ₁ ,s ₂ ,...,s _N Where N is the total number of sample points in the signal. An arbitrary point in the signal is defined by s _i Is represented by the coordinates (x) _i ,y _i ) I=1, 2,..n. The euclidean distance between two consecutive points is

KatzFD of the N-point signal is mathematically defined as:

where L is the total length of the curve, derived from the sum of Euclidean distances of all adjacent points, i.e

d is the planar extent of the waveform and can generally be considered as the furthest distance of all distances between the first point (point 1) and all subsequent points of the signal. Mathematically, d can be written as

The FD value obtained from equation (2) is affected by the unit of measurement. To overcome this difficulty, the kaz proposal normalizes L and d by the average distance (denoted by a) between consecutive points. The average distance a is defined as a=l/k, where k is the number of steps in the curve, i.e. k=n-1. In equation (2), division of a by L and d yields

Step S203: calculating a fractal dimension value according to the Euclidean distance and the total length of the curve;

step S204: windowing and intercepting the bearing vibration signal by using the fractal dimension value to obtain a plurality of bearing signal segments;

FD is used to track the location of the impact caused by bearing failure and extract the envelope of the impact. The typical vibration signal generated by a bearing failure is periodic, including a sharp rise corresponding to an impact between the defect location surfaces. To extract periodically affected features using FD, STFD was studied.

The moving window is used to truncate the original signal to obtain a STFD sequence, wherein each STFD value corresponds to a windowed signal portion. The length of the window is selected to be N _win ＝int(αf _s ) Where int (-) represents the integer part of the value, is a user pre-specified constant α, f _s Is the sampling frequency of the waveform. The constant α is empirically set. Since the fault-induced pulses are usually weak and masked by background noise and vibration disturbances, the window must be shorter to obtain satisfactory results. This is because too long a window may make the STFD sequence excessively smooth. Therefore, in bearing failure detection applications, the constant α should be smaller than the constant used for acoustic signal processing to ensure that the initial pulse is not missed. However, it should be noted that N _win And not too short. Too short a window may result in many imaginary oscillations, obviously failing to correctly identify the effects, as shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 (a) STFD sequences generated at different window lengths (different α); fig. 4 (b) simulates the evolution of correlation coefficients between the envelope signal and the generated STFD sequence at different window lengths.

To obtain a point-to-point time sequence of STFD values, the window is shifted along the input vector one sample step at a time. W [ n ] for window function]And (3) representing. Then, sequence sw _m [n]＝s[n]w[m-n]Is the signal s [ n ] at time m]Length of N _win . Representing all signal segments in matrix form, the following expression can be obtained

For each signal segment w _m By STFD _(m) The corresponding FD value represented can be calculated by equation (5). Vector STFD can be obtained by calculating FD values for all signal segments as follows

STFD＝[STFD(1),STFD(2),...,STFD(m),...,] (7)

Applying the following transform in the subsequent subsection without affecting the dynamic range of the STFD sequence

STFD＝STFD ^original -MIN+1 (8)

Wherein the vector STFD ^original Is a signal STFD sequence calculated using equation (5), MIN is a signal corresponding to STFD ^original Vectors of equal length (size) with all components equal to STFD ^original 1 represents the minimum component of (1) and STFD as well ^original The unit vectors of the same length, STFD, represent the obtained STFD sequence. According to equation (8), the minimum value of the STFD sequence is always limited to 1.

To convert the original vibration signal into an STFD sequence, the FD value of each signal segment is calculated by equation (5) and assigned to the midpoint of the signal segment. However, this will result in a length of N-N of the STFD sequence obtained _win +1 is shorter than the length N of the original signal. To preserve the signal length, the original signal is spread by replication: (a) First half of the number of points at the beginning, i.e. odd N _win Of (N) _win -1)/2 points, (N) _win /2, even), and (b) the last (N) at the end of the original signal _win -1)/2, odd number N _win (N _win -2/2, even N _win ) Points. The length of the signal is then extended to n+n _win -1. Thus, the size of the obtained STFD sequence is the same as the original signal.

Step S205: calculating the fractal dimension value of each bearing signal segment;

step S206: splicing fractal dimension values of all bearing signal segments to obtain the short-time fractal dimension sequence;

step S207: and removing interference on the fractal dimension sequence according to a peak value searching method to obtain bearing vibration fault characteristics.

Periodic disturbances can be expressed asAnd A is _im And omega _im Representing the amplitude and frequency of the disturbance, respectively. To evaluate the effect of disturbances on the conversion envelope demodulation, consider an analog pulse caused by a single fault contaminated by disturbances with amplitudes greater than the pulse x (t) =s (t) +i (t) =a _mp e ^-βt sin ω _r t+A _i cosω _i t, wherein A _mp Is the amplitude of the pulse and,A _i >A _mp indicating that the fault-related pulses are severely masked by the disturbances. Analysis of the signal denoted by X (t).

The envelope (or instantaneous amplitude) of the analysis signal can be calculated by the following formula:

equation (10) shows that the main component, i.e., the interference, is envelope demodulated, but pulse demodulation is unsuccessful. It can be concluded that conventional demodulation is adversely affected by strong interference. Thus, an envelope method with interference suppression capability is highly desired.

Interference suppression based on STFD transformation. Referring to fig. 5, consider random interference (i (t) =2cos (2pi ft)) as shown in fig. 5 (a). Fig. 5 (b) and (c) are respectively a pulse signal and a signal mixture consisting of the pulse signal and the disturbance. For most practical applications, the resonance frequency is much higher than the frequency of the periodic disturbance, i.e. it can be observed that the disturbance frequency is much lower than the frequency of the pulses, as shown in fig. 5 (a) and (b). Let us look at the signal segment within one short window, the nth window in fig. 5 (a). Euclidean distance of the curve within the nth window, n=1, 2.. _n (defined by equation (3)), the plane range is defined by d _n (defined by equation (4)). If the vibration disturbance frequency is sufficiently low, L is selected as long as the appropriate window length _n Almost equal to d in FIG. 5 (a) _n This will result in STFD (n) ≡1 (so that d _n ≈L _n The satisfaction is. It can be concluded that the interference has little effect on the STFD representation. For pulse signals, the planar extent (d _n ) And Euclidean distance (L _n ) The difference is greater because of the significant morphological appearance change, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), the STFD (n) is derived according to equation (5)>1. Since the resonance frequency is typically much higher than the frequency of the vibration disturbance, the pulsesThe resulting STFD values are much larger than the interference-related STFD values, indicating that the pulse-related STFD values are more pronounced in the STFD representation than the interference-related STFD values. Thus, the envelope of the pulse can be highlighted and interference suppressed, as shown in fig. 5 (d).

Interference suppression is performed by a combination of STFD and KPSA. However, in some cases, the effect on the high frequency interference is still not negligible. For example, a composite signal consisting of a plurality of disturbances (cos (2π 1000 t), cos (2π620 t) and cos (2π 300 t)) and analog pulses is shown in FIG. 6 (a). The STFD transform results and their spectra are shown in fig. 6 (b) and (c), respectively. It can be seen that the composite effect of the interference is not successfully eliminated, since the STFD value associated with the interference has a greater impact on the STFD representation due to the high frequency. Therefore, the spectrum in fig. 6 (c) is mainly controlled by the interference frequency difference, which will confuse or even mislead the detection result.

In order to solve the problems caused by the multiple disturbances of relatively high frequencies, it is necessary to improve the proposed method in order to further suppress the influence of the disturbances. The idea of KPSA is to extract useful information and to remove unwanted signal components as iteratively as possible until a stopping criterion is reached. The criterion is kurtosis, as it has proven to be a valid indicator of impulse. It is defined as:

where μ and σ are the mean and standard deviation of the signal x (t), respectively, and E { } is the mathematical expectation operator. Taking into account the uncertainty of the signal, the standard deviation sigma is introduced ⁱ Is a tolerance range of (c). Thus, in each iteration of the KPSA, e.g., iteration i, the STFD transform result is calculated (i.e., STFD ⁱ Vector representing STFD sequence) standard deviation σ ⁱ And kurtosis K ⁱ . Higher than 1+sigma ⁱ The amplitude of the points of (a) remains unchanged. Lower than 1+sigma ⁱ The amplitude of the point of (c) is "removed", i.e., set to 1.0 (since the minimum FD value is 1 according to equation (6)). In this way, a new vector STFD is constructed ^*i Representing the extracted presence in iteration iInformation is used. However, some low energy points, i.e. amplitudes below 1+σ ⁱ May also be caused by a fault. Thus, a new iteration i+1 is required to further extract information of such low energy pulses, as long as K ⁱ And K ^i-1 The difference between them is still significant, i.e. the impulsive difference between two successive iterations is desirable. In other words, in each iteration, e.g., i+1, the above procedure is applied to the signal remainder of iteration i, i.e., STFD ⁱ +1＝STFD ⁱ -STFD _* ⁱ +1, and the iterative process continues until the pulse nature of the signal remainder becomes insignificant, i.e., |K ⁱ -K ^i-1 +.ltoreq.ε (ε is a pre-specified small positive number). The final signal residual is then considered to be comprised of the STFD component caused by noise and/or interference and is therefore removed. The final STFD sequence after KPSA application (hereinafter STFD-KPSA) is given by the following equation:

application of the KPSA algorithm described above to the STFD sequence in fig. 6 (b) will result in the results in fig. 6 (d). As shown, the unwanted signal components have been removed, leaving only peaks associated with the simulated fault. A more pronounced enhancement using KPSA can be observed on the spectrum shown in fig. 6 (e), from which the interference related frequency components are completely eliminated, leaving only the FCF and its harmonics.

Interference suppression capability of the proposed STFD-KPSA method. In this section, the proposed method will be comprehensively evaluated in terms of interference suppression. In order to quantify the interference level of the signal mixture x (t), including the fault-induced pulses s (t) and the interference i (t), the signal-to-interference ratio may be defined as follows

Where T is the signal length, P _s Is the power of the fault pulse, P _i Is the power of the interference.

The detection performance of a method may be represented by the method using a three-dimensional map of the displayed FCF harmonic numbers. These two axes are related to two factors to be examined. In this case, these two factors are frequency and SIR, respectively. The dark level represents the level of energy, the darkest to brightest corresponding to the lowest to highest energy level. Fig. 7 shows a diagram of the detectability of the proposed method. The pulse signal is defined by equation (9), with an SNR of-7 dB, and the corresponding parameters are the same as those listed in Table 1.

The obtained detectability map shows that: the proposed method (a) is capable of handling signals with SIR as low as-33 dB, (b) for signals with SIR ranging from 0 to-25 dB, the proposed method can detect FCF and its third harmonic, and (c) detectability then deteriorates with decreasing SIR, it being seen that when SIR decreases from-25 dB to-33 dB, only FCF and the first harmonic are observed.

Therefore, the bearing fault feature extraction algorithm based on fractal dimension envelope demodulation provided by the invention is used for extracting bearing fault features by using STFD transformation on collected vibration signals according to the fractal dimension theory, and further reducing interference by using KPSA, so that the bearing fault features are extracted.

The present invention is also described in detail in this example in connection with experimental data:

the composite signal is represented by the equation: x (t) =s (t) +i (t) +n (t) (14)

Where s (t) is an analog pulse signal, i (t) represents vibration disturbance, and n (t) represents white gaussian noise. Using sinusoidal functionsMultiple disturbances from other electrical/mechanical components (e.g. unbalanced shaft and gear mesh) are simulated in this case eight disturbances are added, f _i1 ...f _i8 ＝1000Hz，500Hz，300Hz，150Hz，80Hz，30Hz，15Hz，8Hz，A _i1 ...A _i8 = 0.5,1,1.5,1,1,1,1,1.5, making SIR equal to-21 dB. In addition, background noise exists in the real vibration signal; therefore, gaussian white noise n (t) is added. The signal to noise ratio relative to the analog pulse signal is 7dB. Adding such a dry matterThe purpose of the disturbance is to simulate the real situation where disturbances and their harmonics may occur. A mixed signal x of 16000 sampled data points is plotted in fig. 8 (a), where the characteristics of the effect are severely masked by interference and noise. Fig. 8 (b) shows the hilbert envelope spectrum of the analog signal. As shown, the hilbert envelope spectrum is mainly determined by the frequency difference between the disturbances, and since the pulses are severely contaminated by disturbances and noise, frequency information related to FCF cannot be found. The proposed method is then applied, the results of which are shown in fig. 8 (c) (output of STFD method) and fig. 8 (d) (output of STFD-KPSA method). Spectral analysis was performed on the STFD sequence and the STFD-KPSA sequence, respectively, to obtain FIGS. 8 (e) and (f). It can be seen that the effect of the interference cannot be completely eliminated by using STFD alone, as shown in fig. 8 (e), in which the amplitude of the second frequency line associated with the interference difference is almost equivalent to the amplitude of the first FCF harmonic. This is because there are still multiple interference effects in the STFD representation. Fig. 8 (f) provides a clearer result in which FCF and its three harmonics are clearly identifiable because the use of the proposed KSPA algorithm further reduces the combined impact of interference. The above analysis shows that the demodulation result of STFD-KPSA is better than that of hilbert transform and STFD without KPSA shown in fig. 8 (b) and (e), respectively. Thus, it can be concluded that the proposed STFD-KPSA method is capable of extracting bearing failure characteristics and suppressing interference and noise without using pre-filtering, and that fig. 9, 10 and 11 are performance graphs of detecting side, bottom and inner ring failures using the failure detection method of the present invention, respectively, and that fig. 9, 10 and 11 (a) are original vibration signals; (b) a hilbert envelope spectrum of the original signal; (c) STFD-KPSA results of the original signal; (d) spectrum of STFD-KPSA results.
