Fault diagnosis and inference of hoist main bearing based on transfer learning and ontology by Fei DONG, Di ZHANG, Kunpeng GE, Junjie CHEN, Xinyue XU

“…Firstly, the collected bearing vibration signals are processed, and it uses continuous wavelet transform to decompose the original vibration signals and extract two-dimensional time-frequency images; secondly, to adaptively extract deep features from both the source and target domains, the pre-trained and fine-tuning approaches are employed for convolutional neural networks transfer learning, and it constructs a transfer convolutional neural network model to achieve adaptive extraction of deep features from both domains; then, a new supervised domain adaptation method is proposed, integrating dynamic joint distribution adaptation with enhanced separability, to further reduce the distribution differences between deep feature sets of the source and target domains while effectively enhancing the separability of feature data; finally, a patterns recognition classifier is trained based on the source domain features after domain adaptation, which achieves fault patterns recognition in the target domain. ② Hoist main bearing fault knowledge reasoning based on ontology. …”
