| description | As the core device for protecting the safety of the pressure-bearing system, the spring full-open safety valve is prone to various forms of valve seat sealing surface damage after long-term opening and closing impact, corrosion, and medium erosion, which may lead to internal leakage. In view of the problems that the high-frequency acoustic emission signal of the internal leakage of the safety valve has, namely, a large number of energy-overlapping areas in the frequency domain, the overall signal presents broadband characteristics, large noise content, and no obvious time–frequency characteristics. A composite denoising method, IWTD, improved wavelet threshold function with dual adjustable factors, and the improved VMD algorithm is proposed. In view of the problem that the optimal values of the dual adjustment factors a and b of the function are difficult to determine manually, an improved dung beetle optimization algorithm is proposed, with the maximum Pearson coefficient as the optimization target; the optimization is performed within the value range of the dual adjustable factors a and b, so as to obtain the optimal value. In view of the problem that the key parameters <i>K</i> and <i>α</i> in VMD decomposition are difficult to determine manually, the maximum Pearson coefficient is taken as the optimization target, and the improved dung beetle algorithm is used to optimize within the value range of <i>K</i> and <i>α</i>, so as to obtain the IVMD algorithm. Based on the IVMD algorithm, the characteristic decomposition of the internal leakage acoustic emission signal occurs after the denoising of the IWTD function is performed to further improve the denoising effect. The results show that the Pearson coefficients of all types of internal leakage acoustic emission signals after IWTD-IVMD composite noise reduction are greater than 0.9, which is much higher than traditional noise reduction methods such as soft and hard threshold functions. Therefore, the IWTD-IVMD composite noise reduction method can extract more main features out of the measured spring full-open safety valve internal leakage acoustic emission signals, and has a good noise reduction effect. Feature recognition after noise reduction can provide a good evaluation for the safe operation of the safety valve. |
