Currently gear fault diagnosis is mainly based on vibration signals with a few studies on acoustic signal analysis. However, vibration signal acquisition is limited by its contact measuring while traditional acoustic-based gear fault diagnosis relies heavily on prior knowledge of signal processing techniques and diagnostic expertise. In this paper, a novel deep learning-based gear fault diagnosis method is proposed based on sound signal analysis. By establishing an end-to-end convolutional neural network (CNN), the time and frequency domain signals can be fed into the model as raw signals without feature engineering. Moreover, multi-channel information from different microphones can also be fused by CNN channels without using an extra fusion algorithm. Our experiment results show that our method achieved much better performance on gear fault diagnosis compared with other traditional gear fault diagnosis methods involving feature engineering. A publicly available sound signal dataset for gear fault diagnosis is also released and can be downloaded as instructed in the conclusion section.

Equipment condition monitoring and diagnosis is an important means to detect and eliminate mechanical faults in real time, thereby ensuring safe and reliable operation of equipment. This traditional method uses contact measurement vibration signals to perform fault diagnosis. However, a special environment of high temperature and high corrosion in the industrial field exists. Industrial needs cannot be met through measurement. Mechanical equipment with complex working conditions has various types of faults and different fault characterizations. The sound signal of the microphone non-contact measuring device can effectively adapt to the complex environment and also reflect the operating state of the device. For the same workpiece, if it can simultaneously collect its vibration and sound signals, the two complement each other, which is beneficial for fault diagnosis. One of the limitations of the signal source and sensor is the difficulty in assessing the gear state under different working conditions. This study proposes a method based on improved evidence theory method (IDS theory), which uses convolutional neural network to combine vibration and sound signals to realize gear fault diagnosis. Experimental results show that our fusion method based on IDS theory obtains a more accurate and reliable diagnostic rate than the other fusion methods.

The running state of a geared transmission system affects the stability and reliability of the whole mechanical system. It will greatly reduce the maintenance cost of a mechanical system to identify the faulty state of the geared transmission system. Based on the measured gear fault vibration signals and the deep learning theory, four fault diagnosis neural network models including fast Fourier transform–deep belief network model, wavelet transform–convolutional neural network model, Hilbert-Huang transform–convolutional neural network model, and comprehensive deep neural network model are developed and trained respectively. The results show that the gear fault diagnosis method based on deep learning theory can effectively identify various gear faults under real test conditions. The comprehensive deep neural network model is the most effective one in gear fault recognition.

The gear fault diagnosis system is proposed based on harmonic wavelet packet transform (WPT) and BP neural network techniques. The WPT is a well-known signal processing technique for fault detection and identification in mechanical system,In the preprocessing of vibration signals, WPT coefficients are used for evaluating their energy and treated as the features to distinguish the fault conditions.In the experimental work, the harmonic wavelets are used as mother wavelets to build and perform the proposed WPT technique. The experimental results showed that the proposed system achieved an average classification accuracy of over 95% for various gear working conditions.

The gear fault signal has some defects such as nonstationary nonlinearity. In order to increase the operating life of the gear, the gear operation is monitored. A gear fault diagnosis method based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) sample entropy and discrete Hopfield neural network (DHNN) is proposed. Firstly, the optimal VMD decomposition number is selected by the instantaneous frequency mean value. Then, the sample entropy value of each intrinsic mode function (IMF) is extracted to form the gear feature vectors. The gear feature vectors are coded and used as the memory prototype and memory starting point of DHNN, respectively. Finally, the coding vector is input into DHNN to realize fault pattern recognition. The newly defined coding rules have a significant impact on the accuracy of gear fault diagnosis. Driven by self-associative memory, the coding of gear fault is accurately classified by DHNN. The superiority of the VMD-DHNN method in gear fault diagnosis is verified by comparing with an advanced signal processing algorithm. The results show that the accuracy based on VMD sample entropy and DHNN is 91.67% of the gear fault diagnosis method. The experimental results show that the VMD method is better than the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) and empirical mode decomposition (EMD), and the effect of it in the diagnosis of gear fault diagnosis is emphasized.
