TCN-transformer crusher fault prediction model based on data augmentation and dual-stream feature fusion
摘要
Traditional fault prediction methods for crushers have poor accuracy because of data sparsity and sample imbalance. This study proposes a temporal convolutional network (TCN)–transformer integrated framework for crusher failure prediction, leveraging data augmentation techniques and adaptive fusion of temporal and spectral features. The time-domain TCN captures the local features of time series data via causal and dilated convolutions, whereas the frequency-domain TCN extracts the periodic patterns related to faults. When the self-attention mechanism of transformer is utilised, adaptive time–frequency feature fusion is achieved, and fault features are identified at different time scales. Experiments show that the proposed dual-path TCN–transformer model outperforms the comparative models in various evaluation indicators, with an R2 of 0.997, an RMSE of 0.305 and an MAE of 0.227.
