Fault Diagnosis of Spindle Device in Hoist Using Variational Mode Decomposition and Statistical Features

Abstract EN

By analyzing nonlinear and nonstationary vibration signals from the spindle device of the mine hoist, it is a challenge to overcome the difficulty of fault feature extraction and accurately identify the fault of rotor-bearing system.

In response to this problem, this paper proposes a new approach based on variational mode decomposition (VMD), SVM, and statistical characteristics such as variance contribution rate (VCR), energy entropy (EE), and permutation entropy (PE).

Comparisons have gone to evaluate the performance of rolling bearing defect by using EMD (Empirical Mode Decomposition), MEEMD (Modified Ensemble EMD), BP (Back Propagation) network, single or multiple statistical characteristics, and different motor loads.

The experiment was carried out on the mechanical failure simulator of the main shaft device of the hoist, which verified the reliability and effectiveness of the method.

The results show that the diagnosis method is suitable for feature extraction of bearing fault signals, with the highest diagnosis accuracy.

It can provide a good practical reference for the fault diagnosis of mechanical equipment of the hoist spindle device and has certain practical value.
