Fault diagnosis method of rotating machinery based on MSResNet feature fusion and CAM

To solve the problem of noise interference, it is difficult to extract multi-scale information from complex vibration signals in fault diagnosis with the single-scale convolution kernel of classical deep learning model convolutional neural network (CNN). Therefore, a fault diagnosis method of rotating machinery based on MSResNet feature fusion and CAM is proposed. The residual network (ResNet) and multi-scale convolutional neural network (MSCNN) are combined to extract multi-scale feature information according to convolution kernels with different sizes, so as to avoid the loss of single-scale feature extraction. Make full use of the advantages of the residual network to skip the connection and prevent the feature information extracted by the multi-scale convolution kernel from being lost when the convolution layer propagates forward. In addition, in order to avoid the interference of invalid features after multi-scale information feature fusion, a channel attention mechanism module (CAM) is introduced to screen important features adaptively. The effectiveness of MSResNet-CAM is verified by the bearing data set of Western Reserve University (CWRU) and the data set of QPZZ-II gearbox, and the anti-noise ability is verified by adding noise to the two data sets. The experimental results show that MSResNet-CAM has the characteristics of high fault classification accuracy, good robustness and strong anti-noise ability.
