description Due to the powerful capability of feature extraction, convolutional neural network (CNN) is increasingly applied to the fault diagnosis of key components of rotating machineries. Due to the shortcomings of traditional CNN-based fault diagnosis methods, the continuous convolution and pooling operations result in the constant decrease of feature resolution, which may cause the loss of some subtle fault information in the samples. This paper proposes a CNN-based model with improved structure multi-scale dense fusion network (MSDFN) to realize the fault diagnosis of wind turbines planetary gearboxes under complicated working conditions. First, the continuous wavelet transform is applied to preprocess the vibration signals, and the two-dimensional wavelet time-frequency diagrams are used as the network input.
