description The fuel pump serves as the central component of the aircraft fuel system, necessitating real-time data acquisition for monitoring purposes. As the number of sensors increases, there is a substantial rise in data volume, leading to a simultaneous increase in computational processing for traditional Prognostics and Health Management methods while computational efficiency decreases. In response to this challenge, a novel health monitoring approach for aircraft fuel pumps is proposed based on the collaborative utilization of cloud-edge resources. This approach enables efficient cooperation among the sensor side, edge side, and cloud side to achieve timely fault warnings and accurate fault classification for fuel pumps. Within this method, anomaly judgment tasks are allocated to the edge side, and an anomaly judgment method that integrates the 3σ threshold and “3/5 strategy” is devised. Additionally, a fault diagnosis algorithm, founded on a convolutional auto-encoder, is formulated in the cloud to discern various fault types and severities. Comparative results demonstrate that, in contrast to long short-term memory networks, convolutional neural networks, extreme learning machines, and support vector machines, the proposed method yields improvements in accuracy of 4.35%, 6.40%, 17.65%, and 19.35%, respectively. Consequently, it is evident that the proposed method exhibits notable efficacy in the condition monitoring of aircraft fuel pumps.
