This paper proposes a CNN-based MSDFN model for fault diagnosis of wind turbines planetary gearboxes, achieving high accuracy through preprocessing vibration signals and utilizing MSFF and FoM modules for feature fusion and classification. The effectiveness of the method is verified through experimental results, with the MSFF and FoM modules playing a positive role in fault diagnosis.
Due to the powerful capability of feature extraction, convolutional neural network (CNN) is increasingly applied to the fault diagnosis of key components of rotating machineries. Due to the shortcomings of traditional CNN-based fault diagnosis methods, the continuous convolution and pooling operations result in the constant decrease of feature resolution, which may cause the loss of some subtle fault information in the samples. This paper proposes a CNN-based model with improved structure multi-scale dense fusion network (MSDFN) to realize the fault diagnosis of wind turbines planetary gearboxes under complicated working conditions. First, the continuous wavelet transform is applied to preprocess the vibration signals, and the two-dimensional wavelet time-frequency diagrams are used as the network input. Then, the multi-scale feature fusion (MSFF) module and a feature of maximum (FoM) module are used in the extraction and classification stages of fault features, respectively. Next, the multi-scale features of each network layer are fused to enhance the fault features. Finally, the high fault diagnosis accuracy is achieved by extracting the separable fusion result of fault features. The proposed method achieves more than 99% fault diagnosis average accuracy on a planetary gearbox dataset. The comparative experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method and its superiority to some mainstream approaches. The ablation study further confirms that MSFF module and FoM module play the positive role in fault diagnosis.
