Intelligent fault diagnosis methods for hydraulic components based on information fusion: review and prospects

Abstract

Abstract Hydraulic component faults have the characteristics of nonlinear time-varying signal, strong concealment, and difficult feature extraction, etc. Timely and accurately fault diagnosis of hydraulic components is helpful to curb economic losses and accidents, so researches have carried out a lot of research on hydraulic components. Information fusion technology can combine multi-source data from multiple dimensions to mine fault data characteristics, which effectively improves the accuracy and reliability of fault diagnosis results. However, there is currently a lack of a comprehensive and systematic review in this domain. Therefore, in this paper, the hydraulic components information fusion fault diagnosis technologies are summarized and analyzed, including the main process information fusion fault diagnosis and the research status of information fusion fault diagnosis of hydraulic system. The methods and techniques involved in the fusion process, data source and fusion method of fault diagnosis of hydraulic components information fusion are described and summarized. The problems of information fusion in fault diagnosis of hydraulic components are analyzed, the solutions are discussed, and the research ideas of improving information fusion fault diagnosis are put forward. Finally, digital twin technology is introduced, and the advantages and research status of intelligent fault diagnosis based on digital twin are summarized. On this basis, the intelligent fault diagnosis of hydraulic components based on information fusion is summarized, and the challenges and future research ideas of applying information fusion and digital twin to intelligent fault diagnosis of hydraulic components are put forward and analyzed comprehensively.
