Research on Performance Degradation Assessment and Abnormal Health Status Detection of Quayside Crane Lifting Gearbox Based on Information Fusion

Abstract

In order to solve the problems of subjectivity in the extraction of traditional degradation features and incomplete degradation information contained in a single sensor signal, a performance degradation assessment and abnormal health status detection method based on information fusion for the quayside crane lifting gearbox is proposed. Firstly, the correlation between the vibration and temperature of the gearbox is analyzed; secondly, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and entropy degradation features from the full fault cycle vibration and temperature data of the lifting gearbox are extracted respectively; then, the final degradation indicators of the vibration and temperature data are obtained, respectively, through feature optimization, and the fusion degradation indicator is obtained by combining the two indicators; finally, the performance degradation assessment and abnormal health status detection of the gearbox are carried out. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method in the performance degradation evaluation of the gearbox are verified by comparison, and the proposed method can identify the initial degradation point of the gearbox earlier than the method based on the single vibration degradation index and the method based on the fusion of the traditional vibration degradation feature and the temperature entropy degradation feature.
