Rolling bearing faults often lead to electromechanical system failure due to its high speed and complex working conditions. Recently, a large amount of fault diagnosis studies for rolling bearing based on vibration data has been reported. However, few studies have focused on fault diagnosis for rolling bearings under variable conditions. This paper proposes a fault diagnosis method based on image recognition for rolling bearings to realize fault classification under variable working conditions. The proposed method includes the following steps. First, the vibration signal data are transformed into a two-dimensional image based on recurrence plot (RP) technique. Next, a popular feature extraction method which has been widely used in the image field, scale invariant feature transform (SIFT), is employed to extract fault features from the two-dimensional RP and subsequently generate a 128-dimensional feature vector. Third, due to the redundancy of the high-dimensional feature, kernel principal component analysis is utilized to reduce the feature dimensionality. Finally, a neural network classifier trained by probabilistic neural network is used to perform fault diagnosis. Verification experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fault diagnosis method for rolling bearings under variable conditions, thereby providing a promising approach to fault diagnosis for rolling bearings.

Under the variable working condition, the fault signal of the rolling bearing contains rich characteristic information. In view of the problem that the traditional fault diagnosis method of the rolling bearing depends on the prior knowledge and expert experience too much and the low recognition rate of some faults with the single signal, one method of rolling bearing fault diagnosis based on information fusion under the variable working condition is proposed. Firstly, one test and multi-information acquisition system of the rolling bearing is built. Secondly, the metro traction motor bearing nu216 is selected as the research object, and to prefabricate the defects, the data of acoustic emission and vibration acceleration signals during the test of the bearing is acquired. Then, the original signal is processed and extracted by the wavelet packet decomposition, and the normalized feature information is fused by the convolution neural network. Finally, the two-dimensional convolution neural network model is established to diagnose the bearing fault of the metro traction motor under different conditions. The test results show that the intelligent fault diagnosis method of the subway traction motor bearing based on information fusion under variable working conditions can accurately identify the fault type of the bearing, while the load and speed change. When the neural network training set and the test set cover the same working conditions, the accuracy can reach 100%.

Rolling bearing plays an important role in rotary machines and industrial processes. Effective fault diagnosis technology for rolling bearing directly affects the life and operator safety of the devices. In this paper, a fault diagnosis method based on tunable-Q wavelet transform (TQWT) and convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed to reduce the influence of noise on bearing vibration signal and the dependence on the experience of traditional diagnosis methods. TQWT is used to decompose and denoise the vibration signal, while the CNN is adopted to extract fault features and carry out fault classification. Seven motor operating conditions—normal, drive end rolling ball failure (DE-B), drive end inner raceway failure (DE-IR), drive end outer raceway failure (DE-OR), fan end rolling ball failure (FE-B), fan end inner raceway fault (FE-IR) and fan end outer raceway fault (FE-OR)—are used to evaluate the proposed approach. The experimental results indicate that the fault diagnosis accuracy of the proposed method reaches 99.8%.

To effectively predict the rolling bearing fault under different working conditions, a rolling bearing fault prediction method based on quantum particle swarm optimization (QPSO) backpropagation (BP) neural network and Dempster–Shafer evidence theory is proposed. First, the original vibration signals of rolling bearing are decomposed by three-layer wavelet packet, and the eigenvectors of different states of rolling bearing are constructed as input data of BP neural network. Second, the optimal number of hidden-layer nodes of BP neural network is automatically found by the dichotomy method to improve the efficiency of selecting the number of hidden-layer nodes. Third, the initial weights and thresholds of BP neural network are optimized by QPSO algorithm, which can improve the convergence speed and classification accuracy of BP neural network. Finally, the fault classification results of multiple QPSO-BP neural networks are fused by Dempster–Shafer evidence theory, and the final rolling bearing fault prediction model is obtained. The experiments demonstrate that different types of rolling bearing fault can be effectively and efficiently predicted under various working conditions.

This study presents a comprehensive fault diagnosis method for rolling bearings. The method includes two parts: the fault detection and the fault classification. In the stage of fault detection, a threshold based on refined composite multiscale dispersion entropy (RCMDE) at a local maximum scale is defined to judge the health state of rolling bearings. If the bearing is in fault, a generalized multi-scale feature extraction method is developed to fully extract fault information by combining fast ensemble empirical mode decomposition (FEEMD) and RCMDE. Firstly, the fault vibration signals are decomposed into a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by FEEMD. Secondly, the RCMDE value of multiple IMFs is calculated to generate a candidate feature pool. Then, the maximum-relevance and minimum-redundancy (mRMR) approach is employed to select the sensitive features from the candidate feature pool to construct the final feature vectors, and the final feature vectors are fed into random forest (RF) classifier to identify different fault working conditions. Finally, experiments and comparative research are carried out to verify the performance of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method can detect faults effectively. Meanwhile, it has a more robust and excellent ability to identify different fault types and severity compared with other conventional approaches.

Rolling bearings are widely used in industrial manufacturing, and ensuring their stable and effective fault detection is a core requirement in the manufacturing process. However, it is a great challenge to achieve a highly accurate rolling bearing fault diagnosis because of the severe imbalance and distribution differences in fault data due to weak early fault features and interference from environmental noise. An intelligent fault diagnosis strategy for rolling bearings based on grayscale image transformation, a generative adversative network, and a convolutional neural network was proposed to solve this problem. First, the original vibration signal is converted into a grayscale image. Then more training samples are generated using GANs to solve severe imbalance and distribution differences in fault data. Finally, the rolling bearing condition detection and fault identification are carried out by using SECNN. The availability of the method is substantiated by experiments on datasets with different data imbalance ratios. In addition, the superiority of this diagnosis strategy is verified by comparing it with other mainstream intelligent diagnosis techniques. The experimental result demonstrates that this strategy can reach more than 99.6% recognition accuracy even under substantial environmental noise interference or changing working conditions and has good stability in the presence of a severe imbalance in fault data.

Advantages And Disadvantages

Each pattern recognition method has its advantages and disadvantages to diagnose the state of rotating machinery. There are many fault types of rolling bearings with apparent uncertainty. The optimal fusion level is usually challenging to be selected for a specific fault diagnosis task, and extensive human labour and prior knowledge are also highly required during these selections. To solve the above problems, a multimodel decision fusion method based on Deep Convolutional Neural Network and Improved Dempster-Shafer Evidence Theory (DCNN-IDST) is proposed for the inspection of rolling bearing. To solve the defect of the original evidence theory method in the fusion of high-conflict evidence, the fuzzy consistency matrix is introduced. By calculating the factor weight, the reliability and rationality of D-S evidence theory are improved. The DCNN model can learn features from the original data and carry out adaptive feature extraction for multiple sensor information. The features extracted by DCNN adaptively are input into multiple network models for decision fusion. The new method of DCNN-IDST multimodel decision fusion is applied to detect the damage of rolling bearings. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, both the BP neural network and RBF neural network are used to set up a multigroup comparison test. The result demonstrates that the proposed method can detect the fault of the rolling bearing effectively and achieve the highest diagnosis accuracy among all the tested methods in the experiment.
