To tackle the issue of significant variations in harmonic reducer data distribution across multiple users under different operating conditions, as well as the sparsity of labeled data under certain working conditions, a federated prototype domain adaptation approach is proposed for harmonic reducer fault diagnosis. Class prototypes are employed as carriers for feature alignment, and a prototype interaction mechanism is proposed in this method. It ensures efficient knowledge transfer across all users while preserving user data privacy. This enhances the model diagnostic performance across multiple operating conditions. Additionally, a prototype-guided training strategy is designed to optimize user local model training. Finally, multiple comparative experiments are conducted on a self-built experimental platform using harmonic reducer data. The results illustrate that the federated prototype domain adaptation improves diagnostic accuracy on target domain by at least 6.81% compared to existing federated domain adaptation methods.
