Technical Field

Background
The slewing bearing is used as a core component of a rotary mechanical complete machine, is widely applied to various large engineering practice fields, and the operational reliability of the slewing bearing directly influences the health state of mechanical equipment. The method for accurately evaluating the service life state of the slewing bearing is researched, guidance is provided for active operation and maintenance, economic and safety problems caused by slewing bearing faults or failures are effectively reduced, and the method has important engineering significance. By means of the rapid development of an artificial intelligence technology, a data driving method does not need to depend on a damage mechanism of a slewing bearing, and reliable data driving modeling becomes a mainstream method for study of scholars. The evaluation method based on data driving has strong advantages when aiming at mechanical systems such as slewing bearings with unclear or complex damage mechanisms.
Due to the fact that the actual working environment is severe, effective information in monitored sensing signals is often covered by a large amount of noise, the original characteristic extraction of the signals is affected, particularly, the slewing bearing runs at a low speed, vibration signals are weak, and therefore effective noise reduction reconstruction processing needs to be carried out on the signals. The feature extraction of the signal can reduce the calculation amount and highlight the change trend of the signal, and is one of the indispensable steps in the life state evaluation. However, the phenomenon of redundancy or overlapping of various signal characteristics often exists among the various signal characteristics, and subsequent information fusion is easily interfered, so that the influence of the characteristic redundancy on an evaluation result can be reduced to a certain extent by effectively screening the characteristics.
The state evaluation of the slewing bearing still has several problems at present: firstly, the feature extraction of the signal not only needs to meet the comprehensive requirement, but also needs to avoid the interference of feature redundancy or overlapping on the subsequent evaluation process; secondly, the health state of the slewing bearing is monitored in real time, and higher efficiency is needed for determining state transfer; and thirdly, the damage information of the slewing bearing is difficult to be comprehensively acquired by a single vibration signal.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is to be understood that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any inventive work based on the embodiments of the present invention belong to the scope of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1 to 16, the present embodiment describes a slewing bearing state evaluation method based on multi-feature parameter fusion and FCM-HMM, which includes the following steps:
step (1), denoising an original signal: acquiring original signals of the slewing bearing of the service part through acceleration, temperature and torque sensors, and reducing noise by using a Robust Local Mean Decomposition (RLMD);
step (2), feature extraction and screening: extracting multi-domain characteristics of a signal time domain, a signal frequency domain and a signal time-frequency domain, and providing comprehensive evaluation indexes to screen out superior characteristics in order to avoid the interference of characteristic redundancy or overlapping on a subsequent evaluation process;
step (3), constructing multiple physical signal health indexes: the global characteristics are reserved by a nonlinear dimension reduction method, and an Isometric Mapping (ISOMAP) algorithm is selected to establish the health indexes of the vibration, temperature and torque signals of the slewing bearing;
step (4), establishing a state evaluation model: based on multiple physical signal health indexes and in combination with a Fuzzy C-means (FCM) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM), namely an FCM-HMM joint modeling strategy, a state evaluation Model is established, and recognition of a slewing bearing degradation state transition process is achieved.
The enhanced Local Mean Decomposition in the step (1) is an improved enhancement algorithm based on Local Mean Decomposition (LMD) proposed in recent years, and by optimizing three key parts of boundary conditions, envelope evaluation and screening stopping standards in the LMD algorithm, the self-adaptive determination of the optimal step size and the screening iteration times is realized, and the algorithm performance is improved. The original signal is as in fig. 2. The test is ended by the dead locking of the rotation support, and the disassembly and inspection result shows that all parts are damaged in different degrees, so that the collected test data are effective. Because there are more interference in the test process, the background noise is serious, the fault signal is weak and is easy to be covered by the external interference component, so the whole change is not obvious, but the amplitude presents a slow increasing trend, which accords with the decline condition. The temperature signal shows a fluctuation rising trend due to the external environment temperature change and day-night temperature difference, and maintenance processing such as bolt adjustment, lubrication and the like is carried out near the 8 th day, so that the temperature and torque signals are reduced to some extent near the temperature and torque signals, and the temperature and torque are gradually increased due to the fading condition after restarting and finally enter a failure stage. Compared with temperature and torque signals, the vibration signal has relatively better anti-interference performance, and is commonly used for fault diagnosis and state evaluation of mechanical equipment.
The characteristic field in the step (2) is as

i(t) is the natural mode function of the signal decomposition. And (3) quantitatively and effectively screening the characteristics of each physical signal of the slewing bearing by using a monotonicity index and a track difference index. Because the two quantitative evaluation indexes respectively represent the characteristic attributes from different angles, in order to comprehensively and visually screen the winning characteristics under the same physical signal, a mixed evaluation mode of linearly superposing the two quantitative evaluation indexes, namely a comprehensive evaluation index Score, is provided. In order to avoid negative influence on the screening result caused by the value domain difference of the two quantitative indexes, normalization processing is uniformly carried out before linear superposition, namely mapminmax operation in a formula. The comprehensive evaluation indexes of the vibration, temperature and torque signals are shown in figure 3.
Score=map min max(Mon)+map min max(Div)
And (3) selecting an equidistant mapping algorithm to establish the health indexes of the vibration, temperature and torque signals of the slewing bearing, wherein the problem to be solved in the dimensionality reduction algorithm is the estimation of intrinsic dimensionality, namely, the minimum embedding dimensionality of the low-dimensional space is determined under the condition of fully retaining the original information of high-dimensional data. Reasonable eigen-dimension estimation is crucial. The classical dimensionality estimation method, Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE), is used. And (3) realizing maximum likelihood estimation of the intrinsic dimension by establishing a likelihood function of the neighbor distance. The vibration, temperature and torque signal health indexes are shown in figure 4.
The FCM-HMM model establishment in the step (4) is divided into two steps: dividing the state matrix and establishing a degradation state identification library. The specific steps of degradation state evaluation based on the FCM-HMM are as follows:
1) the state matrix is partitioned. And carrying out unsupervised clustering on the observation sequence by adopting an FCM method, and dividing a state matrix corresponding to the state number K. Initial parameters in FCM need to be preset, the clustering number is determined by a full-life acceleration test result, certain subjectivity is achieved, and meanwhile, accurate judgment of the class of the critical point is difficult to achieve due to random selection of the initial membership degree. Therefore, the state matrix is selected in proportion to construct an observation vector On, and the influence of the critical point On the model is avoided. In addition, the observation sequence is a full life cycle sequence, the input type of the observation sequence is researched, and the degradation state evaluation result based on different observation sequences is discussed in a contrast mode.
2) And establishing a degradation state identification library. Model parameters are initialized based On the constructed observation vector On, and the model parameters are continuously optimized by adopting a Baum-welch algorithm to obtain an optimal model HMMn (lambda n) of each state. And the established FCM-HMM degradation state recognition library is used for dividing the degradation stage of the current observation sequence and determining the state transition process.
3) And evaluating the current degradation state of the slewing bearing. Inputting the current observation sequence into an FCM-HMM degradation state recognition library, calculating the log-likelihood probability p (O | λ n) output by each model HMMn (λ n) by adopting a forward-backward algorithm, comparing n ═ arg max [ p (O | λ n) ], and obtaining n as the current degradation state of the slewing bearing. If n is equal to K, the slewing bearing is indicated to enter a rapid decline stage of the whole life cycle, and a failure and locking phenomenon may occur at a certain moment later, so that failure early warning should be performed at the stage.
Dividing a state matrix corresponding to the four states by adopting an FCM (fuzzy C-means) method, wherein the number of categories is 4, m is 2, and the maximum iteration number is 150; the stop threshold is ∈ 10-5, and the clustering result is shown in fig. 5. As can be seen from the figure, the life cycle of the slewing bearing can be effectively divided into four stages based on the multiple physical signal health indexes, and the failure stage is obviously distinguished from the normal stage. However, the FCM clustering result tends to be stable after multiple operations, and meanwhile, the category of the critical point is difficult to accurately distinguish through random selection of the initial clustering center, so that the critical point is avoided, 50% of each state matrix is selected to construct an observation vector On, and a degraded state identification library HMMn (lambda n) is established. And (4) inputting the multiple physical signal health indexes established in the step (3) into a degradation state identification library HMMn (lambda n), wherein the state evaluation result of the full life cycle sequence is shown in FIG. 6. As can be seen from the figure, the difference degree of the output probabilities p (O | λ n) of different models HMMn (λ n) calculated by adopting a forward-backward algorithm is obvious, the HMM model with the maximum output probability can be clearly judged, and the corresponding state of the model is the current degradation stage of the slewing bearing. The slewing bearing degradation state was effectively partitioned based on the FCM-HMM model, and the results are shown in table 1.

In conclusion, the slewing bearing state evaluation method based on the FCM-HMM can realize the state recognition of the current observation sequence, the state transfer process has good interpretability, and reference is provided for realizing the online state evaluation of equipment.
