SO-IMCKD processed signal improving MSCNN model’s fault diagnosis accuracy for drilling pump fluid end

Abstract

Drilling pump is the ‘heart’ of drilling construction. The key to accurate fault diagnosis is to extract useful fault features from noisy raw signals. In order to improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis of drilling pump fluid end, this paper proposes a fault diagnosis method based on multi-scale convolutional neural network (MSCNN) combined with the snake optimization optimized maximum correlation kurtosis deconvolution (SO-IMCKD). First, the SO algorithm is employed to optimize the filter length and the shift number of IMCKD to process the raw signal, enhancing the fault features from the raw signal. Second, the continuous wavelet transform is used to convert the enhanced signals into time-frequency images which are input into an established MSCNN to extract the fault feature more effectively. Finally, by changing the training batchsize of the MSCNN model, the identification effect of the model to the normal state, minor damage, and serious damage of the fluid end is analyzed. The identification of nine states of the fluid end is successfully carried out, with an average diagnostic accuracy of 99.93%. Moreover, the adaptability of the proposed method is verified with the Mechanical Failure Prevention Technology Association dataset. The method has high accuracy and good adaptability, which has desired prospect for drilling pump fault diagnosis and bearing fault diagnosis.
