Detecting Anomalies in Hydraulically Adjusted Servomotors Based on a Multi-Scale One-Dimensional Residual Neural Network and GA-SVDD

Abstract

A high-pressure hydraulically adjusted servomotor is an electromechanical–hydraulic integrated system centered on a servo valve that plays a crucial role in ensuring the safe and stable operation of steam turbines. To address the issues of difficult fault diagnoses and the low maintenance efficiency of adjusted hydraulic servomotors, this study proposes a model for detecting abnormalities of hydraulically adjusted servomotors. This model uses a multi-scale one-dimensional residual neural network (M1D_ResNet) for feature extraction and a genetic algorithm (GA)-optimized support vector data description (SVDD). Firstly, the multi-scale features of the vibration signals of the hydraulically adjusted servomotor were extracted and fused using one-dimensional convolutional blocks with three different scales to construct a multi-scale one-dimensional residual neural network binary classification model capable of recognizing normal and abnormal states. Then, this model was used as a feature extractor to create a feature set of normal data. Finally, an abnormal detection model for the hydraulically adjusted servomotor was constructed by optimizing the support vector data domain based on this feature set using a genetic algorithm. The proposed method was experimentally validated on a hydraulically adjusted servomotor dataset. The results showed that, compared with the traditional single-scale one-dimensional residual neural network, the multi-scale feature vectors fused by the multi-scale one-dimensional convolutional neural network contained richer state-sensitive information, effectively improving the performance of detecting abnormalities in the hydraulically adjusted servomotor.
