Hypothesis

Can a new fault diagnosis method combining ConvNeXt and improved DenseBlock effectively diagnose rolling bearing faults in noisy environments and with insufficient sample sizes?

Conclusion

The proposed method demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy and robustness in noisy environments and with limited training samples.

Supporting Evidence

  • The method achieved the highest accuracy in diagnostic experiments across various working conditions and noise environments.
  • Comparative experiments showed strong fault diagnosis capability even with noise pollution and insufficient training samples.
  • The introduction of the DY-ReLU function significantly improved feature extraction and diagnostic accuracy.

Takeaway

This study created a smart way to find problems in machine parts called rolling bearings, even when there's a lot of noise or not enough data.

Methodology

The method uses continuous wavelet transform to process vibration signals and combines ConvNeXt with an improved DenseBlock for feature extraction.

Limitations

The method requires manual labeling of samples and has high computational resource demands.
