Abstract
Guide rails are amongst the most important components of mine hoist systems, and faults in them must be detected as early as possible to avoid fatal breakdowns in mine production. Presently, guide rail inspection is performed visually in most situations. In this paper, we examine a more efficient approach based on multi-time scale and dynamic time warping (DTW) to diagnose guide rail faults including embossment, bumps, and clearance. Firstly, vibration signals collected from operational conveyance under different fault categories are analyzed and the corresponding characteristic waveforms (CWs) are extracted. Embossment faults are identified with priority according to visible disparities in CW patterns on a large time scale. Then, templates for bump and clearance faults are established through processing the CWs on a small time scale. Subsequently, the distances of DTW (DDTWs) between test samples and the selected templates are calculated. Finally, the remaining fault conditions are classified according to the DDTW results since the same fault category has the smallest distance. Experiments are conducted on a guide rail fault simulator to demonstrate the reliability of the proposed method. The resultant diagnosis accuracies are 100%, 90.40%, and 84.53%, respectively, for embossment, bump, and clearance faults, which indicates that the proposed approach is feasible and effective for diagnosing guide rail faults under variable operating conditions and different fault severities.
