[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the present invention discloses an intelligent monitoring system for shaft fault diagnosis and life prediction based on AI deep learning. Its system architecture comprises four layers: an edge layer, a platform layer, an application layer, and a security layer. The components and functions of each layer are as follows: the edge layer is a module for collecting, processing, and storing shaft operating status information; the platform layer is a data analysis module based on AI deep learning; the application layer is a human-computer interaction and decision-making module; and the security layer is a data security management and control module. For specific components and functions, see [link to documentation]. Figure 1 .
[0032] The shaft system operating status information acquisition, processing, and storage module includes a distributed sensor network, a data acquisition module, an edge computing unit, and a data storage unit, used for centralized acquisition, processing, and storage of various signal sources within the system. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the distributed sensor network is mainly used for parameter monitoring of the operating status of various parts of the shaft system, including but not limited to the following signals: 1) thrust bearing bearing shell temperature, lubricating oil temperature, lubricating oil pressure, lubricating oil flow rate, machine foot vibration, bearing shell wear, etc.; 2) stern tube sealing device flow rate, pressure, leakage, sealing ring wear, etc.; 3) water-lubricated stern shaft bearing shell temperature, bearing shell wear, bearing vibration, etc.; 4) shaft section strain, vibration, etc.; 5) shaft system auxiliary systems pressure, temperature, flow rate, etc.; the data acquisition module is used for centralized acquisition of various sensor data; the edge computing unit is mainly used for processing edge data signals; the data storage unit is mainly used for local storage of various types of information collected and processed.
[0033] The platform layer consists of a lightweight model based on AI deep learning data analysis modules deployed in a local standalone monitoring system. It includes a shaft health status monitoring module, a fault diagnosis and early warning module, a life prediction module, and a model management platform. It is the core database of the intelligent monitoring system for shaft fault diagnosis and life prediction.
[0034] The human-computer interaction and decision-making module provides a user-friendly interface that displays the shafting system's operating status digitally and intuitively.

[0035] The data security management and control module includes data encryption and access control, providing corresponding levels of control permissions for crew members of different levels, which facilitates the protection of core data or access level control.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment uses Deepseek's large model as a foundation and proposes specific implementation steps for an intelligent monitoring system for shaft fault diagnosis and life prediction based on AI deep learning: 1. Environmental preparation Hardware requirements: GPU: At least 1×NVIDIA A10 (24GB VRAM); CPU: ≥8 cores; RAM ≥ 32GB.
[0037] Software requirements: Install the latest version of Deepseek model.
[0038] 2. Data Preparation and Preprocessing Prepare relevant knowledge base materials on ship shafting and perform data preprocessing based on the aforementioned data sources. The data sources include: (1) Provide relevant materials in the marine field: maintenance manual (PDF / Word), failure case library (JSON), design specifications (Markdown); (2) Provide structured data: sensor logs (CSV), maintenance work orders (SQL), and knowledge graph triples (RDF) obtained in the laboratory or in actual ship operation.
[0039] 3. System Initialization First, complete the hardware installation and software deployment of each module, including the shaft system operating status information acquisition, processing, and storage module; the AI deep learning-based data analysis module; the human-computer interaction and decision-making module; and the data security management and control module. After installation and software deployment, ensure normal communication connections between the subsystems. Additionally, calibrate all sensors in the information acquisition and processing system to ensure the accuracy of the collected data.
[0040] 4. Model Installation and LoRA Configuration Using Deepseek as the base model, the LORA method is applied for fine-tuning in the field of intelligent monitoring of ship shafting. LORA (Low-Rank Adaptation) is a parameter-efficient fine-tuning method that injects a low-rank matrix into the original model (instead of updating all parameters). This preserves the original knowledge of the base model (Deepseek) while adapting it to fault diagnosis in the specific field of ship shafting.
[0041] First, the interface standard between the ship shafting operation data and the Deepseek large model is determined, and a data transmission channel is established to ensure that the data can be accurately transmitted from the shafting operation status information acquisition, processing and storage module to the input port of the Deepseek large model. The transmitted data is then formatted and encrypted to ensure data security and compatibility.
[0042] Secondly, based on the characteristics and requirements of ship shafting operation, the initial parameters of the Deepseek large model are adjusted. For example, the weight parameters related to key factors such as thrust, temperature, and wear in shafting operation are adjusted. Through pre-training and testing with small batches of data, the model parameters are continuously optimized to better suit tasks such as monitoring ship shafting operation status, fault diagnosis, and life prediction.
[0043] Finally, the adjusted Deepseek model was integrated with other subsystems in the ship shafting localization deployment control system to ensure that the model's output data could be correctly received and used by these subsystems. The integrated system was then validated using simulated and actual ship shafting operation data to check the model's accuracy and reliability, and any issues identified were promptly adjusted and optimized.
[0044] 5. Model adaptation and training First, the collected knowledge base data related to ship shafting is labeled to clarify the shafting operating status (normal or fault type) and wear of key components, thereby providing accurate labeled data for model training.
[0045] Secondly, based on the Deepseek large-scale model framework, a private model structure suitable for monitoring the operating status, fault diagnosis, and life prediction of ship shafting systems is constructed. This model structure focuses on the representation and processing of key physical quantities (such as thrust, temperature, and vibration) during shafting operation. Preliminary cleaning and preprocessing of data collected from existing databases are performed, including removing outliers and noisy data, and standardizing the data format. Then, the labeled data is divided into training, validation, and test sets. The private model is trained using the training set, and during training, the model parameters are continuously adjusted using the validation set to avoid overfitting. Once the model achieves satisfactory performance on the validation set, the model is finally tested using the test set to evaluate its generalization ability and accuracy.
[0046] 6. Lightweight Model Processing and Local Deployment After training, the model undergoes distillation, compressing the large Deepseek model into a lightweight format to generate an AI-based deep learning data analysis module, which is then deployed on a real ship shafting monitoring device. Simultaneously, during model usage, new ship shafting operation data is continuously collected and added to the training dataset. The model is regularly optimized and updated to enhance its ability to identify new situations and faults.
[0047] 7. Operation of the AI-based deep learning-based intelligent monitoring system for shaft system fault diagnosis and life prediction When the shafting operation status information acquisition, processing, and storage module is running, it collects various data in real time during the ship's shafting operation. The collected data then undergoes preliminary cleaning and preprocessing. This process includes removing outliers and noisy data, and standardizing the data format to facilitate subsequent processing. Data cleaning methods mainly include missing value interpolation and imputation, outlier identification and removal, and noise filtering; data format standardization methods mainly include standardizing the sampling frequency, aligning timestamps, and standardizing the data output format.
[0048] The following work was carried out on the shaft system using the trained AI deep learning-based data analysis module: (1) Monitoring of shaft system operating health status Perform parameter analysis on the real-time monitoring data to assess the health status of the shaft system in real time; It outputs and displays key parameters of the system's operating status to the crew in real time, and provides threshold ranges for key parameters under normal operating conditions.
[0049] (2) Shaft system fault diagnosis and early warning Perform condition diagnosis and information warning for potential faults in the shaft system, analyze the mapping relationship between the deviated data parameters and the health status of the shaft system, and quickly locate the fault point; Based on parameter deviations, a pattern analysis is performed to determine the severity of the fault and its impact on system operational safety. The output displays fault information, hazard patterns, impact levels, and handling suggestions to assist crew members in decision-making. Provide proactive power reduction operation or emergency shutdown control strategies when necessary to prevent the system damage from further escalating.
[0050] (3) Shaft life prediction Real-time monitoring and life prediction of the service status of key wear-prone components in the shafting system, providing handling suggestions to assist crew decision-making: Predict the remaining life of the thrust bearing bush based on the wear parameters and provide recommendations for bearing bush replacement. Predict the remaining life of the water-lubricated tail shaft bearing bush based on the wear parameters of the bushing bush and provide bushing replacement recommendations; Predict the remaining lifespan of the seals based on the wear parameters of the sealing surface of the trans-tank sealing device, and provide recommendations for seal replacement. Based on the oil composition data of the auxiliary lubricating oil system, the remaining life of the lubricating oil is predicted, and oil replacement recommendations are provided.
[0051] 8. Model Optimization and System Update During model usage, new data on ship shafting operation are continuously collected and incorporated into the training dataset. The model is regularly optimized and updated to improve its ability to identify new situations and faults.
