Description
Summary:Intelligent diagnosis is an important manner for mechanical fault diagnosis in the era of industrial big data, and deep network has received extensive attention in this field because of automatically learning features and classifying entered samples. As a classic deep learning model, Convolutional Neural Network has been applied in mechanical intelligent fault diagnosis. However, the limitation is that entered samples must be balanced to achieve satisfactory recognition rate. During the operation of machinery, the normal samples are abundant and the fault samples are rare. Therefore, the recognition rate of the minority category is minor when processing the imbalanced data with Convolutional Neural Network. To solve the above problem, an intelligent classification method for imbalanced mechanical data based on Deep Cost Adaptive Convolutional Network is proposed. According to this model, first, it learns intrinsic state characteristics in mechanical raw signals through multiple convolution and pooling operations. Second, it maps these characteristics to mechanical health condition by fully connected layers. Finally, the cost adaptive loss function adaptively assigns different misclassification costs for all categories and keeps updating them in training process to effectively classify the imbalanced mechanical data. The proposed method is verified by bearing data and milling cutter data with different imbalanced ratio, and compared with other methods. The experimental results show that the proposed method is robust and is able to effectively classify the imbalanced mechanical data.
