  • Patent number: 12313494
    Abstract: A gear fault diagnosis method based on joint weighted envelope noise-resistant correlation of sub-signals, comprising: converting an original vibration signal sequence into an envelope signal through a signal sequence element-wise squaring-low-pass filtering-square root computation process, reconstructing the envelope signal according to different time intervals to obtain a series of sub-signals, calculating a fault information representation measure of each sub-signal based on an L-moment theoretical index, assigning a weight to each sub-signal with Sigmoid transformation, calculating a joint weighted envelope noise-resistant correlation function of the envelope signal sequence and the reconstructed sub-signals based on the envelope signal, the reconstructed sub-signals and the corresponding weights thereof, and determining a characteristic frequency according to a reciprocal of a time interval value corresponding to the characteristic peak in a plot of the joint weighted envelope noise-resistant correlation

  • Patent number: 12228477
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing rotor rub-impact in a rotating machinery based on vibration signal deconstruction and frequency modulation characteristic anti-noise enhancement, including: converting, based on two-stage integration transformation and high-pass filtering, vibratory acceleration signals from a rotating machinery device into vibratory displacement signals; performing targeted extraction on a rotating frequency component therein based on an improved variational mode decomposition method; calculating and estimating instantaneous fluctuation characteristics of a fundamental frequency of the extracted rotating frequency component using a quadrature-derivative-based normalized Hilbert transform to obtain an instantaneous frequency; inputting a calculated instantaneous frequency sequence into an optimum stochastic resonance system for anti-noise enhancement of intrawave frequency modulation characteristics; and processing FFT on an instantaneous frequency of intrawave frequency modulation characteristics afte
