ABSTRACT
Ensuring the safety of mechanical equipment, gearbox fault diagnosis is crucial for the stable operation of the whole system. However, existing diagnostic methods still have limitations, such as the analysis of single-scale features and insufficient recognition of global temporal dependencies. To address these issues, this article proposes a new method for gearbox fault diagnosis based on MSCNN-LSTM-CBAM-SE. The output of the CBAM-SE module is deeply integrated with the multi-scale features from MSCNN and the temporal features from LSTM, constructing a comprehensive feature representation that provides richer and more precise information for fault diagnosis. The effectiveness of this method has been validated with two sets of gearbox datasets and through ablation studies on this model. Experimental results show that the proposed model achieves excellent performance in terms of accuracy and F1 score, among other metrics. Finally, a comparison with other relevant fault diagnosis methods further verifies the advantages of the proposed model. This research offers a new solution for accurate fault diagnosis of gearboxes.
