A New Health Condition Detection Method for Planetary Gears Based on Modified Distributed Compressed Sensing and Multiscale Symbol Dynamic Entropy.

Planetary gear transmission system is an important transmission part of large machinery and is prone to failure. Aiming at the problem of how to extract fault information from vibration signals of nonlinear and nonstationary planetary gearboxes, a performance degradation evaluation index of planetary gearboxes based on improved distributed compressed sensing and modified multiscale symbolic dynamic entropy (DCSMDE) is proposed. DCSMDE combines distributed compression sensing with modified multiscale symbol dynamic entropy and solves the problem of strong nonlinearity and strong vibration signal coupling of the planetary transmission system from the homologous signals of multiple sensors. A distributed compression sensing parameter optimization algorithm based on Rényi entropy is proposed, which uses improved distributed compression sensing technology to simultaneously sample, compress, and denoise the multisource vibration data of rotating machinery. DCSMDE is used to calculate the reconstructed signal, extract the features with higher recognition characteristics, and use the change trend of the DCSMDE value to judge the working status of the planetary gearbox. Experimental results show that DCSMDE can be applied to dynamic evolution and fault identification of mechanical systems and accurately classify actual fault signals. It provides a new idea for the classification of planetary gear faults and the recognition of performance degradation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
