Abstract

A multi-scale feature extraction and ResNet-Transformer algorithm (MSFRT) is proposed for fault diagnosis of pumping units. Firstly, the local feature extraction capability of the deep residual network ResNet-34 is utilized to capture the spatial details of dynamometer cards, and the context modeling capability of the Transformer encoder is utilized to obtain global features, constructing an end-to-end fault diagnosis framework for pumping units; Secondly, a multi-scale feature extraction module is introduced, which extracts feature information of different scales in parallel through 1×1, 3×3, and 5×5 convolutional kernels, enhancing the ability to perceive details in dynamometer cards; Finally, a feature fusion attention mechanism is designed to adaptively integrate multi-scale features and global semantic information. Experiments are conducted on a dynamometer cards dataset containing 7 typical operating conditions, and the results show that the algorithm achieved an accuracy of 94% in fault diagnosis tasks, verifying the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
