Internal Combustion Engine Fault Detection Based on Random Convolutional Neural Networks.

The internal combustion engine plays a very important role in many fields, and when the internal combustion engine fails, if it is not found in time, it may cause continuous damage to the internal combustion engine, and further affect the life of the entire mechanical system. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes fault detection of internal combustion engines based on a random convolutional neural network. The cylinder burst noise signal of the internal combustion engine is decomposed by a stationary wavelet, and the inclusion matrix is composed of partial decomposition coefficients. Using singular value theory, the singular value containing matrix is extracted as the characteristic of cylinder burst noise signal. The singular value is used as the input of a random convolutional neural network to train and identify faults. The AdaBound optimizer was then applied to adapt the learning rate to changes, thereby accelerating the weight update of the model. At the same time, the neurons in the structure are randomly deactivated by dropout technology to prevent complex collaborative responses to the training data, and the diagnosis results of each network model are integrated by Dempster synthesis rules. The experimental results show that the minimum mean square error of 0.00165 is achieved when there are 15 neurons in the hidden layer, and it gradually increases as the number of neurons increases. Therefore, it is determined that there should be 15 neurons in the hidden layer, and the trainLM algorithm is used. The decision factors for training, validation, cross-validation, and overall data are 0.98947, 0.98597, 0.97738, and 0.9801, respectively, all reaching the control accuracy of 0.95, which indicates that the random convolutional neural network proposed has a high accuracy for internal combustion engine fault detection. For the main bearing Y-directional force, as the gap increases, its fluctuation trend strengthens; the main bearing force changes within a small range at first, then increases sharply when the gap reaches 0.2 mm, and some main bearings even experience significant impact loads.
