Motor On-Line Fault Diagnosis Method Research Based on 1D-CNN and Multi-Sensor Information

Abstract

The motor is the primary impetus source of most mechanical equipment, and its failure will cause substantial economic losses and safety problems. Therefore, it is necessary to study online fault diagnosis techniques for motors, given the problems caused by shallow learning models or single-sensor fault analysis in previous motor fault diagnosis techniques, such as blurred fault features, inaccurate identification, and time and manpower consumption. In this paper, we proposed a model for motor fault diagnosis based on deep learning and multi-sensor information fusion. Firstly, a correlation adaptive weighting method is proposed in this paper, and it is used to integrate the collected multi-source homogeneous sensor information into multi-source heterogeneous sensor information through the data layer fusion. Secondly, the 1D-CNN is used to carry out feature extraction, feature layer fusion, and fault classification of multi-source heterogeneous information of the motor. Finally, the data of seven states (one healthy and six faulty) of the motor are collected by the motor drive test bench to realize the model’s training, testing, and verification. The experimental results show that the fault diagnosis accuracy of the model is 99.3%. Thus, this method has important practical implications for improving the accuracy of motor fault diagnosis further.
