ABSTRACT
Accurate fault diagnosis is critical to operating rotating machinery safely and efficiently. Traditional fault information description methods rely on experts to extract statistical features, which inevitably leads to the problem of information loss. As a result, this paper proposes an intelligent fault diagnosis of rolling bearings based on a continuous wavelet transform(CWT)-multiscale feature fusion and an improved channel attention mechanism. Different from traditional CNNs, CWT can convert the 1-D signals into 2-D images, and extract the wavelet power spectrum, which is conducive to model recognition. In this case, the multiscale feature fusion was implemented by the parallel 2-D convolutional neural networks to accomplish deeper feature fusion. Meanwhile, the channel attention mechanism is improved by converting from compressed to extended ways in the excitation block to better obtain the evaluation score of the channel. The proposed model has been validated using two bearing datasets, and the results show that it has excellent accuracy compared to existing methods.
