摘要

In this paper, a novel intelligent ball screw degradation recognition method based on deep belief networks (DBN) and multi-sensor data fusion is proposed. First, the derived method calculates frequency spectrums of raw signals, and the fused frequency spectrums are calculated by the multi-sensor data fusion. Then, a deep learning based recognition model that can estimate the degradation condition of ball screw automatically is established with the fused dataset. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated using dataset collected from the degradation test of ball screw. The dataset contains massive samples involving 7 degradation stages under 9 working conditions by 3 accelerometers. The classification results indicate that the proposed DBN-based method is able to mine intrinsic characteristics from the fused frequency spectrums adaptively and obtain a superior recognition accuracy. Finally, two comparative studies are performed to show the advantage of the proposed DBN-based method in ball screw degradation condition recognition.
