Fault localization method based on resonance demodulation beamforming for rolling bearings
The traditional analytical method suffers such problems as confusing localization and poor accuracy,when the loca-tion of the rolling bearings'high-frequency faults is identified.In this article,a fault-localization method is proposed,based on resonance demodulation beamforming,which is specially designed for rolling bearings.Efforts are made to extract the low-fre-quency signals with the fault information from the high-frequency carrier wave through resonant demodulation of the bearing-fault signals;then,the frequency band with the fault information for localization is selected,with the help of the near-field beamform-ing algorithm.It realizes the localization of the high-frequency bearing-fault impact signal with larger microphone spacing and ef-fectively overcomes the traditional localization method's shortcomings.Through the experiments on the bearing-fault test bench,it is verified that this method is accurate.The results show that this method's accuracy in localization remains above 95%and both the state of the bearing and its fault type can be identified.
