The raw signals produced by internal gear pumps are susceptible to noises brought on by mechanical vibrations and the surrounding environment, and the sample count collected during the various operating periods is not distributed evenly. Accurately diagnosing faults in internal gear pumps is significantly complicated by these factors. In light of these issues, accelerated life testing was performed in order to collect signals from an internal gear pump during various operating periods. Based on the architecture of a convolutional auto-encoder network, preprocessing of the signals in the various operating periods was performed to suppress noise and enhance operating period-representing features. Thereafter, variational mode decomposition was utilized to decompose the preprocessed signal into multiple intrinsic mode functions, and the multi-scale permutation entropy value was extracted for each intrinsic mode function to form a feature set. The feature set was subsequently divided into a training set and a test set, with the training set being trained to utilize a particle swarm optimization–least squares support vector machine network. For pattern recognition, the test set samples were fed into the trained model. The results demonstrated a 99.2% diagnostic accuracy. Compared to other methods of fault diagnosis, the proposed method is more effective and accurate.
