Fault Diagnosis of Train Axle Box Bearing Based on Multifeature Parameters

الملخص EN

Failure of the train axle box bearing will cause great loss.

Now, condition-based maintenance of train axle box bearing has been a research hotspot around the world.

Vibration signals generated by train axle box bearing have nonlinear and nonstationary characteristics.

The methods used in traditional bearing fault diagnosis do not work well with the train axle box.

To solve this problem, an effective method of axle box bearing fault diagnosis based on multifeature parameters is presented in this paper.

This method can be divided into three parts, namely, weak fault signal extraction, feature extraction, and fault recognition.

In the first part, a db4 wavelet is employed for denoising the original signals from the vibration sensors.

In the second part, five time-domain parameters, five IMF energy-torque features, and two amplitude-ratio features are extracted.

The latter seven frequency domain features are calculated based on the empirical mode decomposition and envelope spectrum analysis.

In the third part, a fault classifier based on BP neural network is designed for automatic fault pattern recognition.

A series of tests are carried out to verify the proposed method, which show that the accuracy is above 90%.
