Fault Diagnosis Method of Planetary Gearbox Based on Compressed Sensing and Transfer Learning

This paper suggests a novel method for diagnosing planetary gearbox faults. It addresses the issue of network bandwidth limitation during wireless data transmission and the problem of relying on expert experience and insufficient training samples in traditional fault diagnosis. The continuous wavelet transform was combined with the AlexNet convolutional neural network using transfer learning and the compressed theory of sense. The original vibration signal was compressed and reconstructed using the compressed sampling orthogonal matching pursuit reconstruction algorithm. A continuous wavelet transform was used to convert the compressed signal into a time–frequency image. The pretrained AlexNet model was selected as the migration object, the network model was fine-tuned and retrained, and the trained AlexNet model was used to diagnose the fault using the model-based migration method. It was demonstrated by the experimental results when the compression ratio CR = 0.5. Compared to other network models, the classification accuracy rate is 97.78%. This method has specific reference value and application prospects and good feature extraction and fault classification capabilities.
