Elevator traction machine fault diagnosis based on improved CEEMD and SVM Algorithm

Abstract

Traction machine is the power source of traction elevator, through fault diagnosis of traction machine can effectively reduce the occurrence of elevator safety accidents. In view of the problems of weak fault characteristics of traction machine and the influence of the vibration signal by the transmitting path, which lead to the poor diagnosis effect, a vibration signal acquisition scheme and fault diagnosis method of elevator traction machine based on improved Complementary Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (CEEMD) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) Algorithm are proposed. Firstly, the vibration signal acquisition scheme of traction machine is designed by finite element simulation of vibration response of traction machine by Abaqus. A fault diagnosis method based on improved CEEMD and SVM Algorithm is proposed to solve the problem of weak fault feature and poor fault diagnosis effect of traction machine. The improved CEEMD method introduces the integrated fault factors to calculate the fault feature correlation degree of each IMF component, and sorts them according to the integrated fault factors from large to small, the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF) with larger integrated fault factors is selected and its time-frequency characteristic is calculated to construct the feature vector, and then the tractor fault is identified and classified by SVM. Finally, the effect and recognition rate of this method and the unimproved CEEMD method are compared by fault injection test. Experimental results show that the CEEMD method based on integrated fault factors can effectively extract the fault features of the tractor and improve the recognition rate of the tractor fault diagnosis.
