摘要: 随着列车提速与高密度运营,轮对安全裕度被持续压缩,双列圆锥滚子轴承作为列车轮对的关键旋转承载件,其健康状况直接决定整辆列车的运行安全、可靠性与全寿命运维成本。针对现有在线监测依赖外接供电、传感器布置受限等瓶颈,提出一种与保持架同轴对称、超紧凑集成于轴承内部的摩擦发电机原位传感模块(Triboelectric-nanogenerator-based in-situ sensing module,TISM),实现对双列圆锥滚子轴承两侧保持架-滚动体相对运动信息的自供能同步采集。构建TISM输出信号与转速、载荷等关键运行参数间的定性映射关系,为轴承的实时状态识别提供可靠依据。结果表明,TISM具备高灵敏度与自供能特性,且在材料选择和设计间隙方面表现出卓越的鲁棒性,能够为构建列车轮对轴承数字孪生体提供关键的多物理场参数支撑。在轨道车辆横向动力学实验台上的应用展示表明,TISM在复杂变速工况下依然表现出优异的监测有效性与自传感能力。通过对TISM输出信号进行时频特征分析,可实现对轴承运行状态的实时感知,并能精确捕捉保持架打滑等早期异常行为特征。研究展示了基于TISM的智能零部件孪生单体的虚实互动新模式,为滚动轴承智能化设计与自供能监测提供技术参考,并有望由此推广至列车整体系统的数字孪生形态。

Abstract: With the increasing speed and operational density of trains, the safety margin of wheelsets is progressively diminishing. As a critical rotating and load-bearing component, the health of the double-row tapered roller bearing directly governs the operational safety, reliability, and life-cycle cost of the entire vehicle. To overcome the limitations of existing online monitoring systems, such as their reliance on external power and restricted sensor placement, this study proposes a Triboelectric Nanogenerator (TENG)-based in-situ sensing module (TISM). This module is designed to be coaxially mirror-symmetric with the cage and ultra-compactly integrated within the bearing. This configuration enables the self-powered, synchronous acquisition of relative motion data between the cage and rollers on both sides of the double-row bearing. Furthermore, the study establishes a qualitative mapping between the TENG output signal and key operational parameters—including rotational speed, load, and lubrication status—providing a solid foundation for real-time bearing condition identification. Experimental results demonstrate that the monitoring scheme possesses high sensitivity and self-powering capabilities. It also exhibits excellent robustness in terms of material selection and design clearance,providing crucial multi-physics parameter support for the construction of a digital twin for the train wheelset bearing. Validation on a railway vehicle lateral dynamics test rig confirms the TISM’s excellent monitoring effectiveness and self-sensing capabilities under complex variable-speed conditions. Through time-frequency analysis of the acquired signals, real-time perception of the bearing's operating state and precise detection of early fault signatures,such as cage slip, can be achieved. This research provides a new technical paradigm for the intelligent design and self-powered monitoring of rolling bearings, showcases a cyber-physical interaction model for a component-level digital twin,and has the potential to be extended to the digital twin framework of the entire train system.
