Accurate identification of tool wear conditions is of great significance for extending tool life, ensuring processing quality, and improving production efficiency. Current research shows that signals collected by a single sensor have limited dimensions and cannot comprehensively capture the degradation process of tool wear, while multi-sensor fusion recognition methods cannot effectively handle the complementarity and redundancy between heterogeneous sensor data in feature extraction and fusion. To address these issues, this paper proposes Hi-MDTCN (Hierarchical Multi-scale Dilated Temporal Convolutional Network). In the network, we propose a hierarchical signal analysis framework that processes the signal in segments. When processing intra-segment signals, we design a Multi-channel one-dimensional convolutional network with attention mechanism to capture local wear features at different time scales and fuse them into a unified representation. When processing signal segments, we design a Bi-TCN module to further capture long-term dependencies in wear evolution, mining the overall trend of tool wear over time. Hi-MDTCN adopts a dilated convolution mechanism, which can achieve an extremely large receptive field without building an overly deep network structure, effectively solving problems faced by recurrent neural networks in long sequence modeling such as gradient vanishing, low training efficiency, and poor parallel computing capability, achieving efficient parallel capture of long-range dependencies in time series. Finally, the proposed method is applied to the PHM2010 milling data. Experimental results show that the model’s tool condition recognition accuracy is higher than traditional methods, demonstrating its effectiveness for practical applications.

The continuous growth of IIoT systems has significantly increased the number of connected devices and message interactions, creating higher requirements for communication mechanisms in terms of scalability and adaptability under dynamic network environments. Although MQTT is widely used for its lightweight communication, its traditional centralized broker architecture limits scalability and fault tolerance in large-scale data transmission, reducing system scalability and fault tolerance. Additionally, static QoS configuration is difficult to adapt to dynamic environmental changes, resulting in high end-to-end latency and limited system throughput. To address these issues, this paper proposes a distributed MQTT communication method based on intelligent QoS routing and hierarchical collaboration (DAIS-MQTT). This method designs a network routing algorithm based on a hierarchical tree structure (LCN), which effectively addresses the scalability limitation of centralized proxies by enabling multi-level proxy collaboration and self-recovery from faults. At the same time, it proposes a QoS routing algorithm based on intelligent decision trees (IQR), which jointly optimizes proxy selection and QoS levels to dynamically adapt to changes in the network environment, thereby solving the problem of insufficient adaptability in static QoS configurations. Experimental results show that compared with the traditional MQTT-based communication method, the DAIS-MQTT method reduces the average message delay by 29.9%, increases system throughput by 28.2%, and maintains a reliable transmission rate of 98.7% in unreliable network environments, making it suitable for high-dynamic and large-scale IIoT communication scenarios.
