A Two-Stage, Intelligent Bearing-Fault-Diagnosis Method Using Order-Tracking and a One-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network with Variable Speeds

Abstract

When performing fault diagnosis tasks on bearings, the change of any bearing’s rotation speed will cause the frequency spectrum of bearing fault characteristics to be blurred. This makes it difficult to extract stable fault features based on manual or intelligent methods, resulting in a decrease in diagnostic accuracy. In this paper, a two-stage, intelligent fault diagnosis method (order-tracking one-dimensional convolutional neural network, OT-1DCNN) is proposed to deal with the problem of fault diagnosis under variable speed conditions. Firstly, the order tracking algorithm is used to resample the monitoring data obtained under different rotation speeds. Then, the one-dimensional convolutional neural network is adopted to extract features of the fault data. Finally, the fault type of collected data can be obtained by fully connected networks based on the features extracted. In the time domain, while the proposed algorithm only relies on the fault data collected under one speed as the training dataset, it is capable of doing fault diagnosis under different speed conditions. In the condition with the largest difference in speed with each dataset, the accuracy of the proposed method is higher than the baseline methods by 0.54% and 11.00%—on CWRU dataset and our own dataset respectively. The results show that the proposed method performs well in dealing with the fault diagnosis under the condition of variable speeds.

Bearing Fault Diagnosis Using Lightweight and Robust One-Dimensional Convolution Neural Network in the Frequency Domain

“…The signal properties are more distinct when time-domain signals are converted to frequency-domain signals since the latter signals are less influenced by noise compared to the former signals [ 43 ]. The presence of a fault characteristic frequency would amplify the signal component amplitudes that are associated with the characteristic component amplitudes that are associated with the characteristic fault frequency, which allows the detection of the failed bearing location through the initial vibration signal of the frequency components, which corresponds to the nature of the bearings [ 38 , 44 , 45 ]. Considering the significant noise interference at industrial sites, it is, therefore, necessary to examine the anti-noise capacity of a particular model and address the strong noise hindrance.…”
