A novel multi-scale adaptive feature fusion framework for accurate and efficient bearing fault diagnosis
摘要
Accurate and efficient bearing fault diagnosis technology is crucial for ensuring the long-term stable operation of rotating machinery. In real industrial environments, sensor data often exhibit varying timescales and heterogeneous feature distributions, which make it difficult for conventional CNN-based methods to extract sufficient discriminative features. To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel fault diagnosis framework: adaptive dilated convolution with improved channel attention and multi-scale feature parallel fusion (ADCF). To begin with, a gating mechanism is designed to adaptively adjusts dilation rates to capture fault features across multiple time scales, addressing the issue of scale variability. Then, an improved channel attention module is employed to emphasize critical fault-related channels while suppressing redundant information, thereby mitigating feature distribution imbalance. In addition, a multi-scale feature parallel fusion module is designed to efficiently fuse the learned multi-scale features. Finally, ADCF is applied to multiple datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that this framework significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art fault diagnosis methods across multiple evaluation metrics.
