Abstract

Aiming at the problem of data unbalance caused by the lack of bearing failure test data, the paper proposes a collaborative filtering recommendation (CFR) method for adaptive Smote (ASMOTE) resampling and matrix decomposition of minority samples (ASMOTE-CFR). The method first adopts adaptive Smote method to synthesize different number of new sample equalization test data sets according to the data distribution. and then a variety of typical feature values such as time domain, frequency domain, time frequency domain, etc. are extracted to obtain the bearing feature matrix, and then a scoring matrix that accurately describes the bearing state is designed and based on the matrix Based on the decomposed collaborative filtering algorithm, a set of collaborative filtering recommendation system for bearing state recognition is proposed. Using this method, different forms of fault data on the outer ring of the rolling bearing were identified and verified. The accuracy of identification reached more than 98 %. Compared with the recognition accuracy of the collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm, this method improved 8 %.

1. Introduction

During the operation of the wind turbine, bearing failure is the main failure of the wind turbine. If the timeliness of finding the bearing failure cannot be guaranteed, the operating life of the entire generator set will be greatly reduced, or even cause a major safety accident, so how to effectively identify the bearing The fault state has become one of the main contents in the field of fault diagnosis.

Motor bearings will generate huge amounts of data during monitoring. Normally, the normal sample data will be much larger than the fault sample. In recent years, many scholars have carried out research to improve the imbalanced learning problem [1-4]. Sampling Random Oversampling randomly copies a few samples to balance the class distribution; Jose et al. [5] proposed a Smote oversampling method. This method is not simply to copy its samples but there is a synthetic sample mechanism blindly so that the learning of samples is easy to cause overfitting.

At present, Collaborative Filtering (CF) is one of the most commonly used methods in the field of recommendation systems. The core idea is to predict user preferences through rating information of similar users or similar items [2, 6]. The paper [7-9] proposed a probabilistic matrix decomposition model, which describes the matrix decomposition process from the perspective of the probability generation process, effectively alleviating the problem of data sparsity.

Aiming at the difficulty of designing the scoring matrix of the recommendation system in the field of fault diagnosis, this paper first extracts the typical features from the time domain, frequency domain, and time-frequency domain to obtain the bearing feature matrix, and then constructs a set of accurate scoring matrices for the bearing state. Two matrixes with different characteristics are organically combined to obtain a joint scoring matrix for bearing state recognition. Based on the matrix filtering collaborative filtering algorithm and gradient descent optimization algorithm, a set of collaborative filtering recommendation systems for bearing state recognition is proposed.

2. CFR system based on ASMOTE

2.1. Adaptive smote oversampling method (ASMOTE)

This article sets the number of new minority samples to be generated according to the balance of data distribution. The specific algorithm flow is as follows:

Step 1: Calculate the degree of unbalance. Recall that the minority sample is Xs and the majority is Xm, then the imbalance:

1
d=XsXm, d0,1.

Step 2: Calculate the number of samples to be synthesized:

2
G=Xm-Xs*b, b0,1,

where b(0,1) is a parameter used to specify the desired balance level after generation of the synthetic data.

Step 3: For each sample X that belongs to the minority class, calculate the X={X1,X2,,Xn} neighbors with Euclidean distance, Δi is the number of samples belonging to the majority class among the k neighbors, and the ratio r is r=Δi/k, i= 1, 2,…, Xs, r(0,1), where Δi is the number of examples in the k nearest neighbors of xi that belong to the majority class.

Step 4: Normalize ri for each minority sample obtained in Eq. (3):

3
ri=rii=1msri.

Step 5: Calculate the number of synthesized samples for each minority sample:

4
gi=ri×G.

Step 6: Randomly choose one minority data example, xzi, from the K nearest neigh bors for data xi. and synthesize according to the following equation:

5
si=xi+xzi-xi×λ.

Repeat the synthesis until the number of synthesis required by Eq. (5) is satisfied.

2.2. Collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm based on matrix decomposition

The idea of the collaborative filtering algorithm based on matrix decomposition is to decompose the higher-dimensional “user-movie” rating matrix into the product of two lower-dimensional matrices. These two low-dimensional matrices are the user latent factor matrix and Project latent factor matrix, where k is the number of latent factor features, as shown in Eq. (6):

6
RmnPkm*QknT.

For the existing n score records, the square of error is used to calculate the loss function of each score. The specific formula is as follows:

7
LP,Q,R=1nLPj,Qi,Rij=1nRij-Rij2.

To prevent overfitting, regularization terms are added to the overall loss function:

8
L=argminLP,Q,R+λP2+Q2,

where λ is the regularization coefficient, further, the gradient descent method is used to deal with the minimization problem, the core problem of the matrix factorization model is to minimize the overall loss function of the above formula by finding the appropriate parameters P and Q.

3. Bearing fault identification based on ASMOTE-CFR

ASMOTE-CFR is based on the unbalance of data in massive data. First, the ASMOTE algorithm is used to equalize a few samples of faulty bearings. Further combined with the CFR method to design specific scoring rules to establish the corresponding scoring matrix, so as to effectively solve the problem of low accuracy in unbalanced data sets. Then extract the typical characteristic values in the time domain, the fuzzy entropy value in the frequency domain and the wavelet packet entropy value in the frequency domain to obtain the bearing feature matrix, and then design a scoring matrix that accurately describes the bearing state. Finally, these two matrices with different characteristics are organically Combined, a joint scoring matrix for bearing status identification is obtained. Based on the joint scoring matrix, the bearing status is effectively identified.

Suppose there are signal data of u group of rolling bearings (S1,S1,,Sk,Sk+1,,Su-1,Su) and there are v different types of states) (Z1,Z2,Z3,,Zv). In the signal data of group u rolling bearings, it is assumed that the set of minority samples is Xs={X1,X2,,Xn}, the set of majority samples is Xm={X1,X2,,Xm}, Xn represents the feature vector of the n minority sample, and Xm represents the feature vector of the m majority sample. and here (m+nu). Calculate the number of samples to be synthesized by G=(Xm-Xs)*b, b(0,1), and for the minority sample Xs, use the Euclidean distance to calculate the h nearest neighbor, and then randomly choose one minority data example, xzi ,from the h nearest neigh bors for data xi and synthesize according to Si=Xs+(Xs-Xi)×λ. The sample data after ASMOTE will increase by certain percentage. Assuming that the data after ASMOTE has w group, the state of the previous k group of training data S1,S1,,Sk is known, and now the CFR is used to identify the state of the w-k+1 group of test data. Sk+1,,Sw.

In the i group of data, 17 features are extracted in the time domain, which are average, root mean square value, root square amplitude, rectified average, kurtosis, variance, maximum, minimum, peak-to-peak value, Standard deviation, waveform index, peak index, pulse index, margin index, skewness index, kurtosis index. Frequency domain extraction fuzzy entropy and sample entropy, time-frequency domain extraction wavelet packet energy entropy and EMD decomposition into 12 Each order component IMF entropy extracts a total of 32 mixed domain features.

The entropy extraction is defined as follows.

Assuming that the energy corresponding to Saji(i=0,1,2,,b) is e(j=0,1,2,,b), then:

9
Eaji=Sajit2dt.

Then the total energy of the signal is:

10
Ei=j=0bEaji,

then the entropy is:

11
H=-i=1bpEajilgpEaji.

According to the information entropy, the fuzzy entropy in the frequency domain, the sample entropy, the IMF entropy of the EMD components in the time-frequency domain, and the wavelet packet entropy are obtained. Furthermore, the 32 feature extraction values are used as elements to construct a normalized feature vector as follows:

12
Ti=fa0i,fa1i,,fabi, faji=EajiEi, i=1,2,,k,k+1,,w, j=1,2,,b.

According to the corresponding state of the bearing, the paper designs the state score table of the bearing, as shown in the Table 1 and obtains the corresponding state score matrix B.

As shown in the Table 2, the maximum value of the corresponding state for the training data S1,S2,,Sw is 1 and the given state is recorded as the minimum value ε (ε is a number infinitely close to 0), and for the test data Sk+1,,Sw, the score of the state Zv is unknown, given a value of 0, and recorded as Ri'j (i'=k+1,k+2,,w, j=1,2,,v).

This paper combines the bearing feature scoring matrix A and the bearing status scoring matrix B to obtain a joint scoring matrix C for bearing status recognition; in order to diagnose the state of the test data, we need to decompose the joint scoring matrix C into two low-dimensional feature matrices P and Q, it is C=P*QT. Furthermore, the state score of the test data is predict Pi'j(i'=k+1,k+2,,w;j=1,2,,v) based on these two feature matrices. Finally, the gradient descent method is used to find the optimal parameters P and Q to minimize the overall loss function, and then the test data Sk+1 predicts the score Ri'j (i'=k+1,k+2,,w;j=1,2,,v) for the state Zj, where Ri'j=Pi'j*Qi'j, then the state Zj corresponding to the highest score Ri'j is the predicted test data state Sk+1.

4. Example verification of different failure forms of bearing outer ring

In order to further verify the effectiveness of the fault identification method proposed in this paper, this section identifies different forms of faults on the bearing outer ring. Using the bearing test stand as shown Fig. 3, set the speed to 1200 rpm and the sampling frequency to 16384 Hz. Experiment with 6205EKA deep groove ball bearings. Collect 402 groups outer ring pitting corrosion and 390 groups outer ring cracks (as shown Fig. 2), outer ring current damage (as shown Fig. 1) 85 groups and normal 423 groups total 1300 sets of data samples.

First use ASMOTE to take 423 groups of normal state samples as reference, oversample a few types of shaft current damage samples by 3 times, and finally get 255 groups of shaft current damage samples, and then further equalize the total 1470 groups of samples according to 6:2:2 ratio is randomly divided into a training set (882 groups), a cross-validation set (294 groups) and a test set (294 groups), and a state-of-the-art recognition is performed using a collaborative filtering recommendation system for bearing state recognition.

As can be seen from the Fig. 5, when the regularization coefficients λ= 0.002 and K= 11, the bearing condition score of the test set reached 99.23 %, and when K= 11, λ is 0.0025, 0.003, and 0.0035, the accuracy of the bearing test set of state has reached 98.63 %, 98.98 % and 98.76 %, respectively. The performance of the model on the test set is evaluated, which proves that the model has good generalization ability under this parameter.
