Abstract

As we all know, it is difficult to extract weak feature for early wear of connecting rod bearings under transient conditions. In order to solve the problem, a method of extracting wear features for connecting rod bearings based on variational modal decomposition (VMD) adaptive noise reduction and computational order tracking (COT) was proposed. Firstly, the vibration signals of internal combustion engine block under transient operating conditions were collected, and the signals were reordered to satisfy the order tracking condition. Then, interpolation and fitting techniques were used to map the signal from the time domain space to the angular domain space. Next, the VMD was used to decompose the angular domain signal into multiple modal components, and the autocorrelation function (ACF) was used to denoise the modal components adaptively. Finally, the signal was reconstructed to conduct COT analysis, and the wear features of connecting rod bearing were extracted by average COT spectrum. The simulation analysis and the simulation experiment of the connecting rod bearing fault show that the proposed method is effective, and the weak features for early wear of connecting rod bearing of internal combustion engine are extracted.

Summary

Introduction

Connecting rod bearing is a key component of internal combustion engine, and it bears complex alternating load in operation. COT can highlight the wear characteristics of connecting rod bearings under transient operating conditions of internal combustion engines, but it is very difficult to extract the weak features of early wear under strong noise. In view of the difficulty in extracting the weak features of the early wear of the connecting rod bearings in internal combustion engines under transient operating conditions, a method of extracting the weak features of the early wear of the connecting rod bearings based on VMD and COT is proposed in this paper. The proposed method is applied to extract the weak features of the early wear of EQ6100 internal combustion engine connecting rod bearings. The results show that the proposed method has obvious de-noising effect and can effectively extract the time-varying weak features of connecting rod bearing wear and realize state monitoring
