Abstract:
As an essential part of the transmission system, gearboxes are considered as a major source of vibration. Signal identification of gear vibration is necessary for online monitoring of the mechanical systems. However, in engine-gearbox systems, the ignition impact of the engine is strong, so that the gear vibration is generally submerged. To overcome this issue, the resonance-based signal sparse decomposition (RSSD) method is used in this paper based on different oscillatory behaviors of the gear meshing impact and the engine ignition impact. To improve the accuracy of RSSD under interferences, the meshing frequency energy ratio (MF-ER) index is introduced into RSSD to adaptively choose the decomposition parameters. Before applying the RSSD method, the auto-regression (AR) model is used as a pre-whitening step to eliminate the normal gear meshing vibration, which improves the decomposition performance of RSSD. The effectiveness of the proposed AR-ORSSD (AR-based optimized RSSD) algorithm is tested using both simulated signals and measured vibration signals from an engine-gearbox system in a forklift. Comparisons were made with the RSSD algorithm based on a genetic algorithm. Experimental results indicate that the AR-ORSSD algorithm is superior at identifying gear vibration signals especially when under strong interferences.
