Abstract

The resonance demodulation is an important method in rolling bearing fault feature extraction and fault diagnosis. But in the traditional resonance demodulation method, the resonant frequency of the accelerometer sensing fault information is discrete to some degree due to processing, debugging and installing factors, and the parameters of the band-pass filter are in need for defining beforehand. Meanwhile, as the message generated by bearing early minor failure is often submerged in strong background noise, the SNR is low, the capacity to apply traditional resonance demodulation method to improve the SNR is limited, and the diagnosis effects are not obvious enough. This paper makes use of the equivalence between the electronic resonant system and the mechanical resonance system and conducts resonant gain for sensor output signal using electronic resonators, overcoming the shortcomings of the traditional methods, realizing a UNB high-resolution detection and improved fault feature signal SNR. Besides, the effectiveness of the proposed method has been validated by simulations and experiments, which possess important guiding significance for the engineering practice.

Highlights

  • Rolling bearing is one of the most critical components of wagon bogie, and is a component prone to be damaged

  • When the center frequency of electronic resonator is equal to the resonance frequency of the mechanical system, it is, equivalent to twice of high-frequency resonance; in this way, the SNR is doubled, enhancing signal robustness; the electronic resonator may collect highfrequency vibration signal caused by weak fault impact to the center frequency of resonator for amplification, so the effects are more prominent in demodulation of bearing early weak fault signal

  • This paper researched on the application of resonance demodulation technology in wagon rolling bearing early fault feature extraction based on electronic resonance

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Rolling bearing is one of the most critical components of wagon bogie, and is a component prone to be damaged. As the message generated by bearing early minor failure is often submerged in strong background noise, the SNR is low, the capacity to apply traditional resonance demodulation method to improve the SNR is limited, and the diagnosis effects are not obvious enough. This paper, for bearing early fault weak feature signal, proposes a resonance demodulation method based on electronic resonance, which, taking advantage of the equivalence between the electronic resonance system and the mechanical resonance system, first processes generalized resonance signal collected by the sensor and acquires output signal with fixed resonance frequency, and carries out resonance demodulation processing and verifies this algorithm through digital signal simulation analysis and experimental analysis. The results show that it has overcome the limitation of capacity to improve the SNR with traditional method and can accurately extract rolling bearing early weak fault feature signal, verifying the correctness and. The Open Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2014, Volume 8 923 effectiveness of this method, and having an important guiding significance for engineering practice
