Abstract: A novel approach is proposed to address the issues of high accuracy but slow speed or low accuracy but appropriate training speed in traditional image recognition methods for fault diagnosis of oil pumps. The proposed method is based on an enhanced residual network model, with several improvement strategies. Firstly, the first-layer convolution kernel of the model is replaced with a smaller one. Secondly, the order of residual modules is changed. Thirdly, the fully connected layer of ResNet50( a Residual Network model) is replaced with an RBF( Radial Basis Function) network as an additional classifier. Finally, data augmentation techniques are used to expand the dataset, and transfer learning is utilized to obtain pre-trained weight parameters on ImageNet for the improved ResNet50-RBF model. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves 98. 86% accuracy in pump curve recognition, exhibiting stronger robustness and improved speed compared to other networks. This provides some reference for fault diagnosis of oil pumps. The proposed method can significantly enhance the efficiency and accuracy of image recognition in fault diagnosis for oil pumps, which is of great significance for practical applications in the industry.
