Abstract

Combined with the advantages of the reconstructed gear test bench to obtain the working tooth surface image of the gear online, the method of gear pitting identification based on machine vision is discussed, and the experimental research is carried out. In view of the scarcity of gear pitting data, the Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN) model is used to realize the diversification and high-quality augmentation of the gear pitting samples. Based on the previous research of ourselves, the effective working tooth surface area of the gear is extracted, and the tooth surface tilt correction as well as distortion correction are realized. By introducing the efficient channel attention, the U2-Net model is improved, and the accurate segmentation of the interested region of the gear pitting image is realized. On this basis, by counting the historical pitting rate of gears, a gear pitting identification model based on image signals is constructed, and the gear pitting identification is realized. The results show that the gear pitting identification method based on machine vision technology is feasible, and the recognition accuracy based on DCGAN and U2-Net models can reach 93.56%. The research maybe provides a more direct and reliable method for gear pitting identification, and have certain reference value for the condition monitoring of mechanical equipment.
