Abstract:
This paper proposes a novel fault-identification method for micro-coils in relays with forcibly guided contacts, a type of electromechanical elementary component (EMEC), combining a composite analytical model, a 2D thermal model, and a 1D-CNN. A low-order thermal circuit with one central node and four boundary nodes is established, while a two-dimensional anisotropic Poisson equation is used as a high-order calibration model. The two models are coupled through iterative correction of reusable thermal resistances. For thermal aging, enamel-film delamination, and inter-turn short-circuit faults, thermal-conductivity attenuation, asymmetric branch-resistance perturbation, and localized abnormal heat-source injection are introduced to generate physically constrained temperature sequences. Orthogonal centerline temperature distributions are extracted as one-dimensional feature vectors for 1D-CNN classification. Simulation results show that the hybrid model has an error of approximately 1.7% compared with finite-element results, and the trained 1D-CNN achieves 98.13% accuracy on 160 test samples. Experimental reconstruction and deep-feature visualization further verify its ability to distinguish normal, aging, delamination, and local short-circuit states.
