INTRODUCTION Because of the very complex structure of fork lift truck hydraulic system, once some faults happen in using process, it will have direct effect on operation efficiency. Therefore, the reliability and maintainability of the fork lift truck hydraulic system become increasingly high. At present, the traditional method of maintenance mainly depends on people’s experience, and it is very difficult to guarantee quality and efficiency of maintenance. Due to its self-organizing and nonlinearly adaptive nature, an artificial neural network potentially offers a new parallel processing paradigm that could be more robust and user-friendly than the traditional approaches. In fault diagnosis of hydraulic system, diagnosis information is acquired more easily by an artificial neural network than a single expert system based on regulation speculation. This paper describes application of BP neural network in fault diagnosis of the fork lift truck hydraulic system, and provides a newly solution methods.II. A MODEL STRUCTURE OF BP NEURAL NETWORK AND TRAINING ALGORITHM A. A model structure of BP neural network A typical structure of a three layer forward neural network is shown in figure 1. It includes input layer, hidden layer and output layer. In figure 1, circles represent neurons. Connecting line having weight between circles represents interaction strength between neurons, where is the ijW ijWconnection weight between neuron i in the k-th layer and neuron j in the k-1-th layer. is the threshold of neuron, (i=0~n) is the input kibixof neurons, (j=0~m) is the output of neurons, and F(·) is a transfer function jyfrom the (k-1)-th layer to the k-th layer. B. Learning algorithm of BP neural network BP (Back propagation) neural network uses the error of the output layer to estimate the error of the direct precursor layer of the output layer, and then use the error to estimate the error of the preceding layer again and again. The estimates of error of the other layers again and again. The estimation of error of the other layers can be obtained. In this way, it may form the process that transmits the error of the output layer to the input layer of network along the transmission right about of the input signals. Thereby, the algorithm is called the Back Propagation algorithm. And the non-cycle network that uses the BP algorithm to learn is called BP network. Its course of learning is just the course of training. The training is to adjust the weights among neurons by certain manner when the samples vectors are put into neural network. The specific realizations of BP learning algorithm follow as:? Initialize right aggregate wij, get the value of the lesser stochastic nonzero; ? Give many pairs of input and output samples (Xp, Dp), where p=1, 2, …, p, i is number of training mode pairs; Xp is input vectors, Dp is output expectation vectors. ? Calculate their actual output Yp=(y1p, y2p, …, ymp), in this course, many times of positive spread calculation is done in terms of the different number of network layer. Evaluate the objective function of the network, and the output error value can generally be denoted as:21)(2???PmjjpjydE? Judge whether the network satisfies the precision??? Where ε is the desired precise, the process of training will continue until the precision is attained. ? Adjusting the weights through dropping off one by one along the reverse according to grads can be computed by:ijijij WEtt????)(1(III. ESTABLISHING BP NEURAL NETWORK OF FAULT DIAGNOSIS OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEM This paper is type of CPQ30 fork lift truck as a example. Fault rate of hydraulic system ismuch higher, and many fault reasons also occur. Aimed at general fault of hydraulic system,BP neural network verifies fault reason. A. Analyzing fault mode and fault mechanism ofhydraulic system Analysis of fault mode and fault mechanism of hydraulic system isshown in table 1. B. Selecting the input and output vector of BP neural network Units We consider fault mode x=(x1, x2, x3) as the input vector of neural network, and fault reason y=(y1, y2, y3, …, y7) asthe output vector of neural network. The nonlinear, mapping relation between fault mode and fault mechanism is established, Then we train neural network The input vector x1, x2, x3 indicate three kinds of faults. Namely, x1 indicates that temperature of pressure oil becomes more and more high; x2 indicates that lifting cylinder becomes powerlessness; x3 indicates that seals in the joint leak. The output vector y1, y2, y3, y4, y5, y6, y7 indicates seven kinds of faults. y1 indicates that pressure of main relief valve is too lower, large quantities of oil flows into relief valve; y2 indicates that Outer dirt of oil radiator is excess, and makes radiation efficiency low; y3 indicates that seals in piston damage; y4 expresses that directional valve damages; y5 expresses that non-return valve damages; y6 expresses that seal ring damages; y7 expresses that screws in joint aren’t tightened. C. Selecting the structure of BP neural network and training sample 1) Determining the structure parameter of BP neural network G.Cbenko, Licheng Jiao thought a three-layer straight feed-forward network with enough nodes of hidden layer approaches to any continuous mapping with arbitrary accuracy. According to mapping existing theory, a three-layer network with a hidden layer can obtain expectation accuracy. If determining concrete problems, once the number of hidden nodes is determined, its structure can be determined. The structure of BP neural network which applies fault diagnosis to hydraulic system of fork lift truck includes three layer, namely, the number m of hidden layer nodes is 4, the number n of output layer nodes is 7, and according to empirical formula where h equals h=（ ） , the number h of hidden layer nodes is 5. lnm?10~?The transfer function from the input layer to the output layer in network training is very often a sigmoid function, namely, ，the transfer function from xef???1)(the hidden layer to the output layer is linear function. 2) Selecting training samples Supposing F represents learning sample in network, from the above determined network structure, some parameters are obtained as following: F equals (X, Y), X equals (x1, x2, x3), and Y equals (y1, y2, y3, … ,y7). Where, X expresses the input sample, and Y expresses the output sample. Training samples in network is shown in table 2 IV. NETWORK TRAINING AND NETWORK TESTING Training samples from the above table 2 are applied to compiled MATLAB program, where, network training error index is 0.00001, and test results is shown in table 3. In view of table 3, if network training error index is 0.00001, the output result of sample 1 equals [0.9956, 0.9989, 0.0008, 0.0012, 0.0023, 0.0011, 0.0015], however, the expectation value of the output is [1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]. This shows that the diagnosis result of BP neural network is consistent with the actual result. The value of fault nodes is close to one, the value of non-fault nodes is close to zero, and it is proved that the approach has relatively accuracy and reliability.V. CONCLUSIONThis paper proposes a newly approach of fault diagnosis of fork lift truck hydraulic system based on BP neural network. Through experiment showed, this approach is feasible, has characteristics of fault tolerance, conjecture, memory, adaptation, parallel process etc, and has certain practical value.
