Multi-sensor fusion rolling bearing intelligent fault diagnosis based on VMD and ultra-lightweight GoogLeNet in industrial environments

As artificial intelligence and sensor technology develop rapidly, intelligent fault diagnosis methods based on deep learning are widely used in industrial production. However, in practical industrial applications, the complex noise environment affects the performance of the diagnostic model, and the huge model parameters cannot meet the requirements of low cost and high performance in industrial production. To address the above problems, this paper proposes a lightweight intelligent fault diagnosis model using multi-sensor data fusion that not only meets the lightweight requirements of small, light, and fast, but also realizes high accuracy diagnosis in noisy environments. Firstly, the vibration signals from different sensors of rolling bearings are processed using the variational mode decomposition (VMD) to design a unique method of constructing grayscale feature maps based on each intrinsic modal function (IMF) component. Then, the ultra-lightweight GoogLeNet model (ULGoogLeNet) is constructed to adjust the traditional GoogLeNet structure, while the Ultra-lightweight subspace attention module (ULSAM) is introduced to reduce the model parameters and enhance the feature extraction capability. UL-GoogLeNet is trained and tested by dividing the grayscale feature maps into training and testing sets to realize the intelligent recognition of different fault types in rolling bearings. Experiments are conducted on two datasets and compared with multiple methods, and the final experimental results prove the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method in this paper.
