Fault diagnosis method of mine hoist main bearing with small sample based on VAE-WGAN by Fan JIANG, Hongyan SONG, Xi SHEN, Zhencai ZHU, Shuman CHENG

“…Therefore, conducting fault diagnosis of the main bearing of the hoist is of great significance for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the mine hoist. However, the proportion of normal service and fault status in the monitoring data of the operation status of mine hoists is severely imbalanced, showing characteristics such as a large number of normal samples, a small number of fault samples, and insufficient label samples, resulting in unsatisfactory training results and low diagnostic accuracy of the main bearing fault model of mine hoists. …”
