The invention provides an online gearbox fault detection device and method. According to the device, a main
control unit comprises a main control
chip with a built-in GPU, a heat dissipation
assembly and a
wireless communication module, and the GPU is configured to process a vibration
signal image through a multi-scale
convolutional neural network, extract time-frequency joint features of a
coupling fault and upload a diagnosis result to a remote
server through the
wireless communication module; the
image acquisition and display unit comprises an acceleration sensor, an
image acquisition card and a display screen, the acceleration sensor and the
image acquisition card are integrally mounted, and the acceleration sensor is used for acquiring a gearbox vibration
signal in real time and generating a time-frequency image; the transmission unit comprises a
signal processing circuit and a
remote communication interface; each unit is integrated and fixed by the sealing shell, and a sensor interface is reserved. According to the invention, the vibration signal image is obtained through the acceleration sensor, the built-in GPU is used for
processing the characteristics such as the
wave crest of the vibration signal image, and the result is uploaded to the
server, so that the real-time online detection and remote monitoring of the fault of the gearbox are realized.
