description The classification of sound signals can be applied to the fault diagnosis of mechanical systems, such as vehicles. The traditional sound classification technology mainly uses the time-frequency domain characteristics of signals as the basis for identification. This study proposes a technique for visualizing sound signals, and uses artificial neural networks as the basis for signal classification. This feature extraction method mainly uses a principle to convert a time domain signal into a coordinate symmetrized dot pattern, and presents it in the form of snowflakes through signal conversion. To verify the feasibility of this method to classify different noise characteristic signals, the experimental work is divided into two parts, which are the identification of traditional engine vehicle noise and electric motor noise. In sound measurement, we first use the microphone and data acquisition system to measure the noise of different vehicles under the same operating conditions or the operating noise of different electric motors. We then convert the signal in the time domain into a symmetrized dot pattern and establish an acoustic symmetrized dot pattern database, and use a convolutional neural network to identify vehicle types. To achieve a better identification effect, in the process of data analysis, the effect of the time delay coefficient and weighting coefficient on the image identification effect is discussed. The experimental results show that the method can be effectively applied to the identification of traditional engine and electric vehicle classification, and can effectively achieve the purpose of sound signal classification.
