Abstract
In recent years, single-source-data-based deep learning methods have made considerable strides in the field of fault diagnosis. Nevertheless, the extraction of useful information from multi-source data remains a challenge. In this paper, we propose a novel approach called the Genetic Simulated Annealing Optimization (GASA) method with a multi-source data convolutional neural network (MSCNN) for the fault diagnosis of rolling bearing. This method aims to identify bearing faults more accurately and make full use of multi-source data. Initially, the bearing vibration signal is transformed into a time-frequency graph using the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and the signal is integrated with the motor current signal and fed into the network model. Then, a GASA-MSCNN fault diagnosis method is established to better capture the crucial information within the signal and identify various bearing health conditions. Finally, a rolling bearing dataset under different noisy environments is employed to validate the robustness of the proposed model. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is capable of accurately identifying various types of rolling bearing faults, with an accuracy rate reaching up to 98% or higher even in variable noise environments. The experiments reveal that the new method significantly improves fault detection accuracy.
