Diagnosis Method

Vibration signal is often used in traditional gear fault diagnosis techniques. However, the working face of the scraper conveyor is narrow, harsh and easily explosive, so it is inconvenient to obtain vibration signals by installing sensors. Motor current signature analysis (MCSA) is a fault-diagnosis method without sensor installation, which is easier to realize in the mine. Therefore, a fault diagnosis method for local gear fault, which is based on bispectral analysis (BA) of analytical signal envelope obtained by processing a stator current under time-varying load condition, is proposed in our paper. In this method, the fault frequency component is enhanced by eliminating the interference of fundamental frequency and coal flow impact. Then, the enhanced fault frequency component is extracted by BA, and a quantitative analysis of the fault strength under time-varying load is carried out from the perspective of energy. Finally, the proposed method is verified on the number HB-kpl-75 scraper conveyor reducer, and the results show that this method can successfully diagnose the failure of the scraper conveyor gear under time-varying load conditions.

Diagnosis Method

The vibration signals of gearbox gear fault signatures are informative components that can be used for gearbox fault diagnosis and early fault detection. However, the vibration signals are normally non-linear and non-stationary, and they contain background noise caused by data acquisition systems and the interference of other machine elements. Especially in conditions with varying rotational speeds, the informative components are blended with complex, unwanted components inside the vibration signal. Thus, to use the informative components from a vibration signal for gearbox fault diagnosis, the noise needs to be properly distilled from the informational signal as much as possible before analysis. This paper proposes a novel gearbox fault diagnosis method based on an adaptive noise reducer–based Gaussian reference signal (ANR-GRS) technique that can significantly reduce noise and improve classification from a one-against-one, multiclass support vector machine (OAOMCSVM) for the fault types of a gearbox. The ANR-GRS processes the shaft rotation speed to access and remove noise components in the narrowbands between two consecutive sideband frequencies along the frequency spectrum of a vibration signal, enabling the removal of enormous noise components with minimal distortion to the informative signal. The optimal output signal from the ANR-GRS is then extracted into many signal feature vectors to generate a qualified classification dataset. Finally, the OAOMCSVM classifies the health states of an experimental gearbox using the dataset of extracted features. The signal processing and classification paths are generated using the experimental testbed. The results indicate that the proposed method is reliable for fault diagnosis in a varying rotational speed gearbox system.

Low Sensitivity

In the fault monitoring of rotating machinery, the vibration signal of the bearing and gear in a complex operating environment has poor stationarity and high noise. How to accurately and efficiently identify various fault categories is a major challenge in rotary fault diagnosis. Most of the existing methods only analyze the single channel vibration signal and do not comprehensively consider the multi-channel vibration signal. Therefore, this paper presents Refined Composite Multivariate Multiscale Fluctuation Dispersion Entropy (RCMMFDE), a method which extracts the recognition information of multi-channel signals with different scale factors, and the refined composite analysis ensures the recognition stability. The simulation results show that this method has the characteristics of low sensitivity to signal length and strong anti-noise ability. At the same time, combined with Joint Mutual Information Maximisation (JMIM) and support vector machine (SVM), RCMMFDE-JMIM-SVM fault diagnosis method has been proposed. This method uses RCMMFDE to extract the state characteristics of the multiple vibration signals of the rotary machine, and then uses the JMIM method to extract the sensitive characteristics. Finally, different states of the rotary machine are classified by SVM. The validity of the method is verified by the composite gear fault data set and bearing fault data set. The diagnostic accuracy of the method is 99.25% and 100.00%. The experimental results show that RCMMFDE-JMIM-SVM can effectively recognize multiple signals.

Gear Fault Diagnosis

A gear fault diagnosis method based on kurtosis criterion variational mode decomposition (VMD) and self-organizing map (SOM) neural network is proposed. Firstly, the VMD algorithm is used to decompose the gear vibration signal, and the instantaneous frequency mean is calculated as the evaluation index, and the characteristic curve is drawn to screen out the most relevant intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) of the original vibration signal. Then, the number of VMD decompositions is determined, and the kurtosis value of IMFs are extracted to form the feature vectors. Then, the kurtosis value feature vectors of IMFs are normalized to form the kurtosis value normalized vectors. Finally, the normalized vectors of kurtosis value are input into SOM neural network to realize gear fault diagnosis. When the number of training times of SOM neural network is 100, the gear fault category is accurately classified by SOM neural network. The results show that when the training times of SOM neural network is 100 times, the gear fault diagnosis method, based on the kurtosis criterion VMD and SOM neural network is 100%, which indicates that the new method has a good effect on gear fault diagnosis.

Gear Fault Diagnosis

Gear is the most common mechanical transmission equipment. Therefore, gear fault diagnosis is of much significance. In this article, a gear fault diagnosis method based on the integration of empirical mode decomposition and cepstrum is proposed by introducing empirical mode decomposition and cepstrum into gear fault analysis. Firstly EMD is used to decompose the gear vibration signal finite number of intrinsic mode functions and a residual error item. To do gear fault diagnosis, cepstrum analysis is carried upon those intrinsic mode functions to extract feature information from the vibration signal. The results of the study on simulated and experimental signals show that this method is better than the cepstrum method and it can precisely locate the site of gear failure.

The vibration signal of heavy gearbox has the nonlinear and nonstationary characteristic, which makes the gear fault diagnosis difficult. Moreover, the useful fault information is mainly focused on the high-frequency components of the raw signal, which also affects the fault feature extraction from vibration signal. For this reason, a novel signal processing method based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) and detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is proposed to diagnose the gear faults of heavy gearbox. Since high-frequency component contains more fault information, the raw vibration signal is decomposed several mode components by VMD, which can remove the low-frequency component to retain the high-frequency component. Moreover, the most sensitive mode component is selected in these high-frequency components by a maximal indicator, which is composed of kurtosis and correlation coefficient. The most sensitive mode component is calculated by DFA to obtain bi-logarithmic map, and the sliding windowing algorithm is employed to capture turning point of the bi-logarithmic map, thus extracting the fault feature of small time scale to identify gear faults. The effectiveness of the proposed method for fault diagnosis is validated by experimental data analysis, and the comparison results demonstrate that the recognition rate of gear faults condition have marked improvement by proposed method than the DFA of small time scale (STS-DFA) and EMD-DFA.

Diagnosis Method

Aiming at the irregularity of the fault characteristics of the helicopter main reducer planetary gear, a fault diagnosis method based on support vector data description (SVDD) is proposed. The working condition of the helicopter is complex and changeable, and the fault characteristics of the planetary gear also show irregularity with the change of working conditions. It is impossible to diagnose the fault by the regularity of a single fault feature; so a method of SVDD based on Gaussian kernel function is used. By connecting the energy characteristics and fault characteristics of the helicopter main reducer running state signal and performing vector quantization, the planetary gear of the helicopter main reducer is characterized, and simultaneously couple the multi-channel information, which can accurately characterize the operational state of the planetary gear’s state.
