Study on Health Assessment Method of a Braking System of a Mine Hoist

This paper presents a method for calculating the health degree (HD) of a braking system of a mine hoist combined with three-level fuzzy comprehensive assessment (TLFCA) and a back-propagation neural network (BPNN). Firstly, the monitored values of a sensor are fused by multi-time fusion and the fuzzy comprehensive assessment values (FCAVs) of the health condition (HC) of the sensor are obtained. Secondly, the FCAVs of all sensors in a subsystem are fused by multi-sensor fusion, and FCAVs of the subsystem are obtained. Then the FCAVs of all subsystems are fused by multi-subsystem fusion and FCAVs of the system are obtained. All the FCAVs are fed into a pre-trained neural network, and the corresponding HD of the sensor, subsystem and system is obtained. Finally, the practicability, reliability and sensitivity of the proposed method are verified by the monitored values of the test rig. This paper presents a method to provide technical support for intelligent maintenance, and also provides necessary data for further prognostics health management (PHM) of the braking system. The method presented in this paper can also be used as a reference for the HD calculation of the whole hoist and other complicated equipment.
