Fault Diagnosis Method of Weak Vibration Signal Based on Improved VMD and MCKD

Abstract During the manufacturing process of electronic equipment, objects such as tin beads and glue blocks may be left in the electronic equipment, causing failure of the electronic equipment. This paper uses experimental equipment to collect weak vibration signals on the surface of electronic equipment. In view of the nonlinear and non-stationary characteristics of the vibration signal and its easy to be masked by strong background noise, a fault diagnosis method of weak vibration signal based on improved variational mode decomposition (VMD) and maximum correlation kurtosis deconvolution (MCKD) is proposed. Cosine factors and adaptive weights are introduced to improve the convergence accuracy of the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The envelope spectrum peak factor is used as the adaptability function of the improved whale algorithm (IWOA) to optimize the parameters of VMD and MCKD. Firstly, based on the decomposition results of weak fault signals by IWOA-VMD, the optimal modal components are selected. Secondly, the fault impact component in the optimal modal component is enhanced based on the IWOA-MCKD algorithm. Finally, the fault characteristic frequency is extracted through the envelope spectrum. The feasibility and superiority of the proposed optimization method are verified through simulation signal analysis and actual case study.
