Research on an Algorithm and System for Estimation of Instantaneous Frequency of Rotating Machinery

Abstract:

Instantaneous frequency is an import parameter to diagnose faults of rotating machinery. This paper puts forward an algorithm based Hilbert-Huang Transformation (HHT) to estimate the instantaneous frequency of rotating machinery and develops an instantaneous cymometer based embedded system technology. In order to estimate instantaneous frequency of rotating machinery, the vibration signal is decomposed into a series of intrinsic mode functions (IMF) first by the method of empirical mode decomposition (EMD), then one of the intrinsic mode functions is analyzed with the Hilbert transformation to acquire an estimate value of instantaneous frequency. An instantaneous cymometer is also described in this paper, which is designed to measure the average frequency and instantaneous frequency of rotating machinery in real time. The average frequency is acquired from measuring the cycle of key-phase signal, and the instantaneous frequency is from the above-mentioned method based HHT. The instantaneous cymometer is consisted of an embedded system, which is connected to a PC with an Ethernet. The embedded system is based on an ARM chip (Samsung S3C4510) A/D conversion, EMD and Hilbert transform are completed on the embedded system, and then the results are compressed and sent to the PC by TCP/IP.
