Abstract: Multi-sensor fault diagnosis, especially when using heterogeneous sensors, substantially enhances the accuracy of fault detection in asynchronous motors operating under high-interference conditions. A critical challenge in multi-sensor fault diagnosis lies in effectively fusing data from different sensors. Deep learning offers a promising solution by transforming multi-sensor data into a unified representation, thereby facilitating robust data fusion. However, existing approaches often fail to fully exploit inter-sensor correlations and inherent prior physical knowledge. To address this limitation, we propose a novel graph neural network-based model that emphasizes graph structure construction for heterogeneous multi-sensor information fusion. Our framework includes (1) a multi-task enhanced autoencoder for node feature extraction, enabling discriminative representation learning, particularly with heterogeneous sensor data; (2) an adjacency matrix builder integrated with physical prior constraints to improve the generalization and robustness of the model; and (3) a graph isomorphism network to derive graph-level representations for fault classification. Our experimental results demonstrate the model’s effectiveness in diagnosing faults, as it achieves superior performance compared to conventional methods on two heterogeneous asynchronous motor datasets.
