FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an outline of the noise removal processing.
A method for removing noise from the electrical signal output from the AE sensor 21 will be described. The person in charge specifies the first section (51) in which the voltage indicating the waveform amplitude exceeds the predetermined threshold in the time history data (42) of the acquired electrical signal of the AE wave. In the time history data (42), the vertical axis represents voltage and the horizontal axis represents time. The person in charge in the time history data (42) of the electrical signal of the AE wave has a waveform following the first section (51), and the voltage indicating the amplitude is less than the predetermined threshold in the second section (52). Identify the waveform. The person in charge performs short-time Fourier transform (STFT) processing on the waveforms in the first section (51) and the second section (52). As a result, the person in charge obtains time frequency analysis data (41) indicating the relationship between the frequency of the signal according to time and the energy at that frequency. In the time-frequency analysis data (41) shown in FIG. 4, the vertical axis represents frequency, the horizontal axis represents time, and the shading represents energy. The person in charge calculates the time average value of the energy in the time interval corresponding to the second interval in the time frequency analysis data for each frequency. The person in charge performs a process of subtracting a value obtained by multiplying the time average value of energy by a predetermined coefficient for the energy of the corresponding frequency in the first section and the second section to remove noise (43). In the data (43) showing the relationship between frequency, time and energy after noise removal, the vertical axis represents frequency, the horizontal axis represents time, and the shading represents energy. The person in charge calculates the AE wave noise removal signal (44) by performing an inverse Fourier transform on the result of the noise removal. In the noise removal signal (44), the vertical axis represents voltage and the horizontal axis represents time. The noise removal signal becomes a representative wave of the AE wave. The person in charge calculates the representative wave of the AE wave subjected to such noise removal for each deterioration state and records it in the deterioration device.

上述の各劣化状態のAE波の代表波は劣化判定装置1が試験体から得た電気信号に基づいて、上記手法に対応する演算を行って抽出するようにしてもよい。試験体は、測定対象機構である軸受そのものであってもよいし、軸受とは異なる試験体であってもよい。試験体が測定対象機構である軸受と異なる場合には、試験体に基づいて算出したAE波の代表波に、係数を乗じて、測定対象機構の劣化判定に利用できる、対応する代表波として算出してもよい。   The representative wave of the above-described AE wave in each deterioration state may be extracted by performing an operation corresponding to the above method based on the electrical signal obtained from the specimen by the deterioration determination device 1. The test body may be a bearing itself as a measurement target mechanism, or may be a test body different from the bearing. When the test specimen is different from the bearing that is the measurement target mechanism, the representative wave of the AE wave calculated based on the test specimen is multiplied by a coefficient to calculate the corresponding representative wave that can be used for determining the deterioration of the measurement target mechanism. May be.

図5は本実施形態による劣化判定装置の処理フローを示す図である。
次に劣化判定装置の処理フローについて順を追って説明する。
劣化判定装置1は軸受においてAEセンサ21がセンシングした電気信号を受信する(ステップS401)。ノイズ除去部12は電気信号を取得する。ノイズ除去部12は取得した電気信号の時刻歴データにおいて、波形の振幅を示す電圧が所定の閾値を超える第一区間を特定する。ノイズ除去部12は第一区間に続く波形であって、振幅を示す電圧が上記所定の閾値未満の第二区間の波形を特定する。ノイズ除去部12は第一区間と第二区間の波形に対して短時間フーリエ変換(STFT)処理を行う。その結果、ノイズ除去部12は、時間に応じた信号の周波数とその周波数におけるエネルギーの関係を示す時間周波数解析データを得る。ノイズ除去部12は、時間周波数解析データにおける上記第二区間に対応する時間区間おけるエネルギーの時間平均値を周波数ごとに算出する。そしてノイズ除去部12は、エネルギーの時間平均値に所定の係数を乗じた値を減算する処理を、第一区間と第二区間の対応する周波数のエネルギーについて行う。またノイズ除去部12は次にその算出結果を逆フーリエ変換してノイズ除去信号を算出する(ステップS402)。ノイズ除去部12はこのノイズ除去信号を軸受におけるAE波として劣化状態判定部13へ出力する。ノイズ除去部12におけるノイズ除去の処理は、Pruning法、Soft−threshhold法などの公知の技術を用いる。ステップS402のノイズ除去信号の算出手法は図4を用いて説明した手法と同様である。
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a processing flow of the degradation determination apparatus according to the present embodiment.
Next, the processing flow of the deterioration determination apparatus will be described in order.
The degradation determination device 1 receives the electrical signal sensed by the AE sensor 21 at the bearing (step S401). The noise removal unit 12 acquires an electrical signal. The noise removing unit 12 specifies a first section in which the voltage indicating the waveform amplitude exceeds a predetermined threshold in the acquired time history data of the electrical signal. The noise removing unit 12 specifies a waveform in a second section that is a waveform following the first section and whose voltage indicating the amplitude is less than the predetermined threshold. The noise removing unit 12 performs a short-time Fourier transform (STFT) process on the waveforms in the first section and the second section. As a result, the noise removing unit 12 obtains time-frequency analysis data indicating the relationship between the frequency of the signal according to time and the energy at that frequency. The noise removing unit 12 calculates a time average value of energy in the time interval corresponding to the second interval in the time frequency analysis data for each frequency. And the noise removal part 12 performs the process which subtracts the value which multiplied the predetermined coefficient to the time average value of energy about the energy of the frequency corresponding to a 1st area and a 2nd area. The noise removing unit 12 then calculates the noise removal signal by performing inverse Fourier transform on the calculation result (step S402). The noise removal unit 12 outputs the noise removal signal to the deterioration state determination unit 13 as an AE wave in the bearing. The noise removal processing in the noise removal unit 12 uses a known technique such as a Prune method or a Soft-threshold method. The calculation method of the noise removal signal in step S402 is the same as the method described with reference to FIG.

劣化状態判定部13は劣化判定装置1において担当者によって予め記録された試験体の各劣化状態についてのAE波の代表波形を読み取る(ステップS403)。そして劣化状態判定部13は軸受のAE波の特徴量と、試験体に生じた異なる2つの劣化状態の場合のAE波の各代表波の特徴量とを用いて主成分分析を行う(ステップS404)。この分析においてまず劣化状態判定部13は軸受のAE波の特徴量を算出する。劣化状態判定部13は、試験体に生じた異なる2つの劣化状態の場合のAE波を示す各代表波の特徴量を記憶部から読み取る。なお、試験体に生じた異なる2つの劣化状態の場合のAE波を示す各代表波の特徴量は予め算出して劣化状態判定部13が記憶している。AE波や代表波の特徴量は、振幅、エネルギー、RMS(二乗平均平方根)、第一区間における波の事象率など値である。事象率は第一区間において、ある閾値電圧を超えた波形の個数を示す。   The deterioration state determination unit 13 reads the representative waveform of the AE wave for each deterioration state of the test specimen recorded in advance by the person in charge in the deterioration determination apparatus 1 (step S403). Then, the deterioration state determination unit 13 performs principal component analysis using the feature amount of the AE wave of the bearing and the feature amount of each representative wave of the AE wave in the case of two different deterioration states generated in the specimen (step S404). ). In this analysis, first, the deterioration state determination unit 13 calculates a feature amount of the AE wave of the bearing. The deterioration state determination unit 13 reads the characteristic amount of each representative wave indicating the AE wave in the case of two different deterioration states generated in the specimen from the storage unit. Note that the characteristic amount of each representative wave indicating the AE wave in the case of two different deterioration states generated in the specimen is calculated in advance and stored in the deterioration state determination unit 13. The feature quantities of the AE wave and the representative wave are values such as amplitude, energy, RMS (root mean square), and event rate of the wave in the first section. The event rate indicates the number of waveforms exceeding a certain threshold voltage in the first section.

そして劣化状態判定部13は、試験体の第一劣化状態におけるAE波の代表波形の特徴量(1,2,…n)それぞれの主成分得点P1_1,P1_2,・・・,P1_nを算出する。また劣化状態判定部13は、試験体の第二劣化状態におけるAE波の代表波形の特徴量(1,2,…n)それぞれの主成分得点P2_1,P2_2,・・・,P2_nを算出する。また劣化状態判定部13は、各特徴量(1,2,…n)の主成分負荷量A1,A2,・・・Anを算出する。劣化状態判定部13は軸受のAE波の特徴量(1,2,…n)それぞれの主成分得点P3_1,P3_2,・・・,P1_nを算出する。   Then, the deterioration state determination unit 13 calculates principal component scores P1_1, P1_2,..., P1_n of the feature quantities (1, 2,... N) of the representative waveform of the AE wave in the first deterioration state of the test body. Further, the deterioration state determination unit 13 calculates principal component scores P2_1, P2_2,..., P2_n of the feature amounts (1, 2,... N) of the representative waveform of the AE wave in the second deterioration state of the specimen. The degradation state determination unit 13 calculates principal component load amounts A1, A2,... An for each feature amount (1, 2,... N). The deterioration state determination unit 13 calculates principal component scores P3_1, P3_2,..., P1_n of the feature values (1, 2,... N) of the AE wave of the bearing.

そして劣化状態判定部13は、以下の式(1)により軸受のAE波と、試験体に生じた第一の劣化状態のAE波の第一評価距離を算出する。また劣化状態判定部13は、以下の式(2)により軸受のAE波と、試験体に生じた第二の劣化状態のAE波の第二評価距離を算出する。   Then, the deterioration state determination unit 13 calculates the first evaluation distance between the AE wave of the bearing and the AE wave in the first deterioration state generated in the specimen by the following equation (1). Moreover, the deterioration state determination part 13 calculates the 2nd evaluation distance of the AE wave of a bearing and the AE wave of the 2nd deterioration state which arose in the test body by the following formula | equation (2).

第一評価距離
=√{|A1|*(P3_1 - P1_1)^2 + |A2|*(P3_2 - P1-2)^2 + ,…,|An|*(P3_n - P1_n)^2}
第二評価距離
=√{|A1|*(P3_1 - P2_1)^2 + |A2|*(P3_2 - P2-2)^2 + ,…,|An|*(P3_n - P2_n)^2}

Further, the deterioration state determination unit 13 determines that the AE wave from the bearing indicates the second deterioration state if the second evaluation distance is smaller than the first evaluation distance.

以上、本発明の実施形態について説明したが、上述の処理によれば、劣化判定装置1は測定対象機構の構造体に誘導波を与えることなく測定対象機構から発生られたAE波により劣化状態を判定することができる。
また上述の処理によれば劣化判定装置は、試験体が異なる劣化状態である場合のAE波の代表波形を予め記憶しており、その代表波形と、測定対象機構から発生られたAE波とを主成分分析により比較するのみで劣化状態を判定できる。したがって短時間で測定対象機構から発生られたAE波による当該測定対象機構の劣化状態を判定することができる。
また上述の処理によれば測定対象機構から発生られたAE波からノイズを除去する際に短時間フーリエ変換を利用しているためノイズ除去の時間を短縮することができ、短時間で測定対象機構の劣化状態を判定することができる。
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, according to the above-mentioned process, the deterioration determination apparatus 1 does not give a induced wave to the structure of a measurement object mechanism, but a deterioration state by the AE wave generated from the measurement object mechanism. Can be determined.
Further, according to the above-described processing, the deterioration determination apparatus stores in advance a representative waveform of the AE wave when the specimen is in a different deterioration state, and the representative waveform and the AE wave generated from the measurement target mechanism are stored. The deterioration state can be determined only by comparison by principal component analysis. Accordingly, it is possible to determine the deterioration state of the measurement target mechanism due to the AE wave generated from the measurement target mechanism in a short time.
Further, according to the above-described processing, since the short-time Fourier transform is used when noise is removed from the AE wave generated from the measurement target mechanism, the noise removal time can be shortened, and the measurement target mechanism can be shortened in a short time. Can be determined.

上述の実施形態において劣化判定装置1は測定対象機構から発生られたAE波が2つの劣化状態の何れを示すかについて判定しているが、さらに多くの劣化状態の何れを示すかを判定してもよい。この場合、劣化判定装置1は3つ以上の劣化状態の代表波形を記憶しておく。そして、それら代表波形と測定対象機構から発生られたAE波とを用いて、主成分分析により測定対象機構から発生られたAE波が示す劣化状態を判定する。この場合劣化状態判定部13は、軸受のAE波との評価距離が最も小さい代表波に対応する劣化状態を、軸受の劣化状態と判定する。   In the above-described embodiment, the deterioration determination device 1 determines which of the two deterioration states the AE wave generated from the measurement target mechanism indicates, but determines which of the more deterioration states it indicates. Also good. In this case, the deterioration determination device 1 stores representative waveforms of three or more deterioration states. Then, the deterioration state indicated by the AE wave generated from the measurement target mechanism is determined by principal component analysis using the representative waveform and the AE wave generated from the measurement target mechanism. In this case, the deterioration state determination unit 13 determines the deterioration state corresponding to the representative wave having the smallest evaluation distance from the AE wave of the bearing as the deterioration state of the bearing.

また上述の実施形態において劣化判定装置1は主成分分析を用いて測定対象機構から発生られたAE波が示す劣化状態を判定しているが他の分析手法を用いて測定対象機構から発生られたAE波が示す劣化状態を判定してもよい。例えば代表波形に基づいて特定されるAE波の所定の特徴量に対応する、測定対象機構から発生られたAE波が示す所定の特徴量との割合を判定する。そして劣化判定装置1は、その割合が閾値以上である場合に、その割合の算出に利用した代表波形に対応する劣化状態かどうかを判定するようにしてもよい。   In the above-described embodiment, the deterioration determination apparatus 1 determines the deterioration state indicated by the AE wave generated from the measurement target mechanism using principal component analysis, but is generated from the measurement target mechanism using another analysis method. The deterioration state indicated by the AE wave may be determined. For example, a ratio with a predetermined feature amount indicated by an AE wave generated from the measurement target mechanism corresponding to a predetermined feature amount of the AE wave specified based on the representative waveform is determined. And when the ratio is more than a threshold value, the deterioration determination apparatus 1 may determine whether or not the deterioration state corresponds to the representative waveform used for calculating the ratio.

なお上述の劣化判定装置1は内部に、コンピュータシステムを有している。そして、劣化判定装置1に上述した各処理を行わせるためのプログラムは、当該劣化判定装置1のコンピュータ読み取り可能な記録媒体に記憶されており、このプログラムを劣化判定装置1のコンピュータが読み出して実行することによって、上記処理が行われる。ここでコンピュータ読み取り可能な記録媒体とは、磁気ディスク、光磁気ディスク、CD−ROM、DVD−ROM、半導体メモリ等をいう。また、このコンピュータプログラムを通信回線によってコンピュータに配信し、この配信を受けたコンピュータが当該プログラムを実行するようにしても良い。   In addition, the above-described degradation determination apparatus 1 has a computer system inside. A program for causing the deterioration determination device 1 to perform the above-described processes is stored in a computer-readable recording medium of the deterioration determination device 1, and the computer of the deterioration determination device 1 reads and executes the program. Thus, the above process is performed. Here, the computer-readable recording medium means a magnetic disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, a semiconductor memory, or the like. Alternatively, the computer program may be distributed to the computer via a communication line, and the computer that has received the distribution may execute the program.
