Deep Learning Network

Generally, the health conditions of rotating machinery are complicated and changeable. Meanwhile, its fault labeled information is mostly unknown. Therefore, it is man-sized to automatically capture the useful fault labeled information from the monitoring raw vibration signals. That is to say, the intelligent unsupervised learning approach has a significant influence on fault diagnosis of rotating machinery. In this study, a span-new unsupervised deep learning network can be constructed based on the proposed feature extractor (L12 sparse filtering (L12SF)) and the designed clustering extractor (Weighted Euclidean Affinity Propagation) for resolving the issue that the acquisition of fault sample labeled information is burdensome, yet costly. Naturally, the novel intelligent fault diagnosis method of rotating machinery based on unsupervised deep learning network is first presented in this study. Thereinto, the proposed unsupervised deep learning network consists of two layers of unsupervised feature extractor (L12SF) and one layer of unsupervised clustering (Weighted Euclidean Affinity Propagation). L12SF can improve the regularization performance of sparse filtering, and Weighted Euclidean Affinity Propagation can get rid of the traditional Euclidean distance in affinity propagation that cannot highlight the contribution of different features in fault clustering. To make a long story short, the frequency spectrum signals are first entered into the constructed unsupervised deep learning network for fault feature representation; afterward, the unsupervised feature learning and unsupervised fault classification of rotating machinery can be implemented. The superiority of the proposed algorithms and method is validated by two cases of rolling bearing fault dataset. Ultimately, the proposed unsupervised fault diagnosis method can provide a theoretical basis for the development of intelligent unsupervised fault diagnosis technology for rotating machinery.

Rotating machinery usually suffers from a type of fault, where the fault feature extracted in the frequency domain is significant, while the fault feature extracted in the time domain is insignificant. For this type of fault, a deep learning-based fault diagnosis method developed in the frequency domain can reach high accuracy performance without real-time performance, whereas a deep learning-based fault diagnosis method developed in the time domain obtains real-time diagnosis with lower diagnosis accuracy. In this paper, a multimodal feature fusion-based deep learning method for accurate and real-time online diagnosis of rotating machinery is proposed. The proposed method can directly extract the potential frequency of abnormal features involved in the time domain data. Firstly, multimodal features corresponding to the original data, the slope data, and the curvature data are firstly extracted by three separate deep neural networks. Then, a multimodal feature fusion is developed to obtain a new fused feature that can characterize the potential frequency feature involved in the time domain data. Lastly, the fused new feature is used as the input of the Softmax classifier to achieve a real-time online diagnosis result from the frequency-type fault data. A simulation experiment and a case study of the bearing fault diagnosis confirm the high efficiency of the method proposed in this paper.

Diagnosis Method

Detecting the mechanical faults of rotating machinery in time plays a key role in avoiding accidents. With the coming of the big data era, intelligent fault diagnosis methods based on machine learning models have become promising tools. To improve the feature learning ability, an unsupervised sparse feature learning method called variant sparse filtering is developed. Then, a fault diagnosis method combining variant sparse filtering with a back-propagation algorithm is presented. The involvement of the back-propagation algorithm can further optimize the weight matrix of variant sparse filtering using label data. At last, the developed diagnosis method is validated by rolling bearing and planetary gearbox experiments. The experiment results indicate that the developed method can achieve high accuracy and good stability in rotating machinery fault diagnosis.
