Abstract
Finding a reliable approach to detect bearing faults is crucial, as the most common rotating machine defects occur in its bearings. A convolutional neural network can automatically extract the local features of the mechanical vibration signal and classify the patterns. Nevertheless, these types of networks suffer from the extraction of the global feature of the input signal as they utilize only one scale on their input. This paper presents a method to overcome the above weakness by employing a combination of three parallel convolutional neural networks with different filter lengths. In addition, a bidirectional gated recurrent unit is utilized to extract global features. The CWRU-bearing dataset is used to prove the performance of the proposed method. The results show the high accuracy of the proposed method even in the presence of noise.
