Fault Diagnosis of Planet Gear Using Continuous Vibration Separation and Minimum Entropy Deconvolution

Planet gear is the most unique dynamic component in planetary gearbox. It rotates around sun gear while rotating around its own central axis, causing modulation effect in monitoring signal. Planetary gear is usually connected to heavy external loads and other transmissions, fault feature of planet g...

description Planet gear is the most unique dynamic component in planetary gearbox. It rotates around sun gear while rotating around its own central axis, causing modulation effect in monitoring signal. Planetary gear is usually connected to heavy external loads and other transmissions, fault feature of planet gear may be overwhelmed by noises and other signals. Focused on planet gear inside planetary gearbox, a method for fault diagnosis is proposed in this paper based on continuous vibration separation (CVS) and minimum entropy deconvolution (MED). In this method, CVS is designed to separate dynamic responses of planet gear from overall vibration responses of planetary gearbox by overcoming the modulation effect and depressing noises. MED is used for enhancement detection of fault-related impulses. Simulations and experiments are conducted to collect signals for analysis. The proposed method is also compared with vibration separation method (VS). Both simulation and experiment analysis indicate that the proposed planet gear fault diagnosis method is effective. Comparative study indicates that CVS-MED method improves VS by keeping signal periodicity while overcoming modulation effect and depressing noises.
