Intelligent Fault Diagnosis Method for Rotating Machinery Based on Recurrence Binary Plot and DSD-CNN

To tackle the issue of the traditional intelligent diagnostic algorithm's insufficient utilization of correlation characteristics within the time series of fault signals and to meet the challenges of accuracy and computational complexity in rotating machinery fault diagnosis, a novel approach based on a recurrence binary plot (RBP) and a lightweight, deep, separable, dilated convolutional neural network (DSD-CNN) is proposed. Firstly, a recursive encoding method is used to convert the fault vibration signals of rotating machinery into two-dimensional texture images, extracting feature information from the internal structure of the fault signals as the input for the model. Subsequently, leveraging the excellent feature extraction capabilities of a lightweight convolutional neural network embedded with attention modules, the fault diagnosis of rotating machinery is carried out. The experimental results using different datasets demonstrate that the proposed model achieves excellent diagnostic accuracy and computational efficiency. Additionally, compared with other representative fault diagnosis methods, this model shows better anti-noise performance under different noise test data, and it provides a reliable and efficient reference solution for rotating machinery fault-classification tasks.
