Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical equipment fault diagnosis technology, and in particular to a method and system for rolling bearing fault diagnosis based on wavelet threshold denoising, Snow Goose Optimization Algorithm (SGA) optimization of variational mode decomposition (VMD) parameters, and combined with a deep learning model. Background Technology

[0002] Rolling bearings are critical components in rotating machinery, and their operating status directly affects the safety and stability of the entire machine. Due to their complex working environment, fault characteristics are often masked by noise, making it difficult for traditional signal processing methods to accurately extract fault features. In recent years, Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) has been widely used in fault diagnosis due to its excellent mode separation performance; however, its decomposition effect is heavily dependent on the selection of the penalty factor α and the number of modes K. In existing technologies, swarm intelligence optimization algorithms (such as sparrow search algorithm and locust optimization algorithm) are often used to optimize VMD parameters, but these methods suffer from problems such as being prone to getting trapped in local optima and slow convergence speed, leading to inaccurate parameter selection and thus affecting the accuracy and efficiency of fault diagnosis. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to provide a method and system for diagnosing rolling bearing faults by combining wavelet thresholding denoising, Snow Goose Optimization (SGA) algorithm to optimize VMD parameters, and image classification using a deep learning model, thereby addressing the problems of poor parameter optimization and low diagnostic accuracy in existing technologies. To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides the following technical solution:

[0004] Step 1: Signal Acquisition and Preprocessing

[0005] Vibration signals of rolling bearings are collected, and the original signals are denoised using the wavelet thresholding method to obtain the denoised real signals.

[0006] Step 2: VMD Parameter Optimization

[0007] Using the denoised signal as input, the Snow Goose Optimization (SGA) algorithm is used to globally optimize the two key parameters of VMD—the mode decomposition number K and the penalty factor α; the minimum envelope entropy is used as the fitness function to select the optimal parameter combination.

[0008] Step 3: Signal Decomposition and IMF Screening

[0009] The signal is decomposed using the optimized K and α parameters to obtain several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and the IMF with the smallest envelope entropy is selected as the optimal component.

[0010] Step 4: Grayscale image conversion

[0011] The optimal IMF component is segmented into segments of fixed length, and a weighted average method is used to convert it into a two-dimensional grayscale image, preserving the temporal characteristics and energy distribution of the signal.

[0012] Step 5: Fault Classification

[0013] Grayscale images are input into the Darknet-53 deep learning model for training and classification to identify the fault types of rolling bearings.

[0014] The above-described solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] Significant noise reduction effect: By using wavelet thresholding, environmental noise is effectively removed and signal quality is improved.

[0016] Precise parameter optimization: The introduction of the Xueyan optimization algorithm has the advantages of strong global search capability, fast convergence speed, and strong ability to escape local optima, which significantly improves the accuracy of VMD parameter selection.

[0017] High diagnostic accuracy: Combining a deep learning image classification model, it achieves efficient identification of fault features, with experimental verification showing a fault identification rate of up to 99.17%. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0021] Implementation Case:

[0022] Step 1: Collect the vibration signal of the rolling bearing, perform 5-level wavelet decomposition using the db4 wavelet basis, and perform noise reduction using a hard threshold function.

[0023] Step 2: Initialize the Snow Goose optimization algorithm population, set the search space as K∈[2,10], α∈[100,2000], and use the minimum envelope entropy as the fitness function.

[0024] Step 3: After SGA optimization, the optimal parameter combination is obtained (e.g., K=4, α=100), and VMD decomposition is performed.

[0025] Step 4: Select the IMF2 component with the smallest envelope entropy and convert it to a grayscale image.

[0026] Step 5: Input the grayscale image into the Darknet-53 model for training, and finally achieve accurate identification of different fault types with an accuracy rate of 99.17%.
