  • Patent number: 11181130
    Abstract: An abnormality diagnosis method is targeted at a hydraulic device which includes a hydraulic pump and a driven device driven by the hydraulic pump. The method includes calculating a frequency distribution with regard to a deviation between a normal value of an output parameter corresponding to an operation condition and an actual measurement value of the output parameter using a prediction model, and determining the presence of an abnormality if an average of the deviation exceeds a threshold. If the presence of the abnormality is determined, a factor of the abnormality is estimated based on the range of the deviation where a waveform peak of the frequency distribution exists.
