Abstract
Reliable fault diagnosis is crucial to ensuring the safe and efficient operation of high-end industrial equipment. Cross-domain intelligent diagnosis technologies based on unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) have demonstrated promising application prospects in scenarios such as cross-equipment and variable working transfer diagnosis conditions. However, their effectiveness highly relies on specific prior assumptions regarding the inter-domain label relationships and domain configurations, which largely restricts the generalizability and practicality of UDA techniques in actual industrial fault diagnosis scenarios. To address the above issues,this paper proposes a unified cross-domain fault diagnosis framework applicable to different label and domain configurations. The proposed framework constructs a predictive class confusion (PCC) bias shared across multiple scenarios to guide cross-domain knowledge transfer, enabling adaptation to various transfer diagnostic scenarios. To accurately measure the tendency of the PCC bias, a prototype similarity-based fault discrimination method is developed, which enhances classification robustness and provides reliable prediction distributions to estimate the PCC bias. Then, a label smoothing-based probability calibration method is designed for probability regularization, alleviating the underestimation of the PCC bias caused by overconfident prediction. Experimental validation results on a planetary gearbox transmission system dataset demonstrate that the proposed method achieves an average diagnostic accuracy of 98.37% across four cross-domain diagnostic scenarios with different label and domain configurations,outperforming state-of-the-art approaches and fully verifying its generality and superiority.
