Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bearing defect detection, and in particular to a bearing defect intelligent detection method and system based on deep learning. Background Art

[0002] In modern industrial production systems, bearings, as core components of mechanical equipment, have a direct impact on equipment safety and production efficiency. Traditional bearing defect detection relies heavily on manual visual inspection, auscultation, or simple instrument measurement. This method is not only inefficient and unable to meet the demands of automated production lines inspecting dozens of pieces per minute, but is also significantly affected by subjective factors such as the inspector's experience and fatigue. As the manufacturing industry transitions toward intelligent and unmanned operations, traditional manual inspection has become a bottleneck restricting production efficiency.

[0003] In recent years, automated detection methods based on sensor technology and computer vision have gradually emerged, but there are still significant technical limitations. Single-modality detection technology (such as relying solely on vibration sensors or infrared thermal imagers) is severely affected by environmental factors. Under complex working conditions such as high temperature, strong electromagnetic fields, and dust, the signal is easily distorted, resulting in a decrease in detection accuracy. For example, the misjudgment rate of vibration detection can be high when the equipment resonates or is disturbed by external vibrations; infrared thermal imaging detection has difficulty in accurately identifying tiny defects when the ambient temperature fluctuates greatly. Although multi-sensor fusion technology has been applied, the existing solutions lack effective spatiotemporal calibration and data fusion strategies. The data from each sensor cannot be accurately synchronized and deeply correlated, and the reliability and stability of the detection results are insufficient.

[0004] In terms of deep learning applications, existing bearing defect detection models face the dual challenges of "data dependence" and "poor generalization." Training high-quality models requires a large number of labeled samples, but it is difficult to collect samples of new defects or rare working conditions, resulting in weak adaptability of the model to new scenarios. At the same time, traditional model updates rely on manual data collection and retraining, which takes weeks or even months and cannot respond to equipment changes in the production process in a timely manner. In addition, existing systems generally lack autonomous optimization capabilities and find it difficult to achieve a dynamic balance between energy consumption, detection speed and accuracy, which limits their large-scale application in industrial scenarios. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a bearing defect detection technology with multimodal deep fusion, adaptive learning and intelligent decision-making capabilities to meet the urgent needs of modern industry for equipment reliability and intelligent operation and maintenance.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 8 : A bearing defect intelligent detection method and system based on deep learning, comprising:

[0046] Acquisition preprocessing steps: When a bearing enters the monitoring area, the synchronization trigger module within the sensing terminal generates a timestamp with 500ns accuracy based on the IEEE 1588v2 precision clock protocol, ensuring sub-microsecond synchronized acquisition of multi-sensor data. To reduce signal interference, the system employs multi-stage filtering. The vibration signal is first amplified and anti-aliased (with a cutoff frequency set to 10kHz) by a PCBPiezotronics 4-channel signal conditioner before being input into the edge computing unit. Within the unit, a 5-layer wavelet packet decomposition using the sym8 wavelet basis is performed, decomposing the signal into 32 frequency bands. The energy of each frequency band is extracted as preliminary features. Further processing is then performed using the variational mode decomposition (VMD) algorithm, which adaptively determines the number of decomposed modes, effectively suppressing modal aliasing and separating the different vibration components. After being converted to digital signals by the fiber optic sensor, the acoustic signal is first bandpass filtered (with a passband range of 20Hz-10kHz), and then a short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is used to generate a time-frequency plot. To extract key features, the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) algorithm is used to extract 13-dimensional feature vectors from the time-frequency diagram, and then expanded to 39-dimensional features through first-order and second-order difference operations. After the infrared thermal imaging data is collected, non-uniformity correction (NUC) is first performed using a neural network-based non-uniformity correction algorithm. Assume that the original response of the i-th pixel of the detector is R i , the corrected response is R′ i , constructing a non-uniformity correction model Where N is the total number of pixels, is the ideal response of the j-th pixel learned by the neural network, W i,jThe inter-pixel correction weights (characterizing the compensation relationship between the response differences between pixels i and j) are output by the neural network and learned through training on a large amount of thermal imaging data, achieving high-precision correction. Background suppression is performed using a deep learning model based on the U-Net architecture. This model uses a large number of bearing thermal images containing different backgrounds as training data. It can automatically identify and remove interference from environmental heat sources, highlighting the temperature characteristics of the bearing surface. After hyperspectral image acquisition, radiometric calibration is first performed to convert the image grayscale values ​​into actual spectral radiance. Then, using the spectral angle mapping (SAM) algorithm, the spectral vector of each pixel is compared with a pre-established library of bearing material spectra, the spectral angle is calculated, the bearing surface material area is automatically identified, and the spectral characteristics of the region of interest (ROI) are extracted. Finally, the system aligns the vibration, acoustic, thermal imaging, and hyperspectral data along the time dimension and fuses them into a four-dimensional feature tensor (time × frequency × space × spectrum), providing rich multidimensional information for subsequent analysis.

[0047] Feature fusion step: A reconfigurable multi-branch convolutional neural network (R-CNN) is deployed on the GPU of the edge computing unit. The overall network structure adopts a layered design, consisting of an input layer, a feature extraction layer, a fusion layer, and an output layer. The feature extraction layer consists of three parallel branches, each targeting different modal data. The vibration signal branch adopts a 1D-CNN architecture consisting of eight dynamically routed convolutional layers. Each dynamically routed convolutional layer has a built-in parameter prediction module. Based on the frequency distribution and time domain characteristics of the input signal, this module uses a small neural network to predict the optimal kernel size (dynamically adjustable between 3 and 11) and dilation rate for the current convolutional layer, thereby adaptively extracting vibration features at different scales. The acoustic signal branch uses a 2D-CNN combined with an attention mechanism. First, a series of convolutional and pooling layers are used to extract basic features of the time-frequency graph. Then, a channel attention module (CAM) and a spatial attention module (SAM) are introduced. The channel attention module calculates the importance weight of each channel to highlight frequency components related to defects. The spatial attention module focuses on the spatial location of defects in the time-frequency graph. The combination of the two effectively enhances the ability to extract acoustic defect features. The thermal imaging and hyperspectral branches employ a 3D-CNN architecture, utilizing three-dimensional convolutional kernels to simultaneously extract spatiotemporal and spectral features. A residual connection structure is incorporated into the network to address the vanishing gradient problem in deep network training, ensuring that the complex features of the bearing surface temperature distribution and spectral characteristics can be learned. The cross-modal attention gating mechanism (CAGM) plays a key role in the fusion layer. This mechanism evaluates the contribution of each modality to the final detection result by calculating the mutual information entropy between features from different modalities. Specifically, the features extracted by each branch are first normalized, and then the mutual information entropy between each modal feature is calculated. When localized bearing overheating is detected, the system calculates the mutual information entropy between the thermal imaging modality and other modalities. If the thermal imaging modality is found to have the highest correlation with the final detection result, the weight of the thermal imaging modality is increased to 0.6 (the default weight is 0.25), while the weights of the other modalities are correspondingly reduced. Dynamically assigning feature weights enables effective fusion of multimodal features. The progressive feature pyramid (PFP) architecture utilizes a bidirectional bottom-up and top-down approach. In the bottom-up process, shallow networks preserve pixel-level details through small-sized convolution kernels and high-resolution feature maps. As the number of network layers increases, larger-sized convolution kernels and downsampling operations are used in deeper networks to extract component-level semantic features. The top-down path combines deep semantic information with shallow detail information through upsampling and feature fusion operations, ultimately outputting a feature vector containing multi-scale information, providing a comprehensive feature representation for subsequent defect diagnosis.

[0048] Diagnosis and prediction steps: A cloud server cluster runs a meta-learning-driven Siamese network (Meta-SiameseNet), trained using the Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning (MAML) algorithm. In a few-shot learning scenario, when a new defect emerges (e.g., with only five labeled samples), the system first divides these few samples into a support set and a query set. The support set is used to quickly adjust the network's initial parameters, enabling it to quickly adapt to the new task; the query set is used to evaluate the performance of the adjusted network. Through multiple iterations of training, the network completes model adaptation within 10 minutes, achieving a detection accuracy of 82% (compared to 45% for traditional methods, which typically require retraining large amounts of data and take days or even weeks). The defect evolution prediction module utilizes a spatiotemporal graph convolutional network (ST-GCN), modeling historical bearing inspection data as a spatiotemporal graph structure. The nodes in the graph represent the inspection status at different points in time, each containing a multimodal feature vector at that moment. Edges represent the temporal and spatial relationships between states. By training the ST-GCN network, the feature propagation patterns between nodes are learned, enabling prediction of defect development trends within the next 24 hours. For example, when a slight crack is detected in a bearing, the system can predict the expansion speed and direction of the crack in the future, providing a basis for planning maintenance strategies in advance and reducing unplanned downtime. The reinforcement learning module uses OpenAI Gym as a framework to construct a virtual bearing system as the environment and the detection strategy as the agent action. The state space of the agent contains information such as the real-time operating parameters of the bearing (such as speed, load, temperature), multimodal detection features, and historical detection results, which is recorded as the state vector S; the action space includes operations such as adjusting the sensor sampling frequency, selecting different detection algorithms, and changing the detection cycle, which is recorded as the action set A. The reward function R is designed to comprehensively consider factors such as detection accuracy, energy consumption, and detection time. The formula is R = α·A acc -β·E-γ·T, where A acc is the detection accuracy (ranging from 0 to 1, with values ​​closer to 1 indicating higher accuracy), reflecting positive incentives for accurate detection; E is the energy consumption per detection, reflecting energy costs; T is the detection time, representing time costs; α, β, and γ are weight coefficients (α>0, β, γ≥0, which can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the reward function balances all objectives), used to adjust the impact of different factors on the reward. Through extensive interactive learning with the virtual environment, the intelligent agent selects action A based on state S and dynamically adjusts the detection strategy based on reward R, reducing energy consumption per detection by 30% while maintaining 99% detection accuracy. For example, when a bearing is under low load, the system automatically reduces the sensor sampling frequency and switches to a lightweight detection model to reduce computing resource consumption.

[0049] Decision-making and early warning steps: The D-Wave Advantage 2X quantum computing accelerator card is used to optimize the parameters of the Gaussian mixture model (Q-GMM). Traditional CPU optimization methods often take hours or even days to converge when processing high-dimensional data. Quantum computing, however, leverages the superposition and entanglement properties of qubits to explore multiple solution spaces in parallel, accelerating the convergence of Q-GMM parameters by 20 times compared to traditional methods. A multi-threshold decision-making mechanism, designed based on the principle of quantum state superposition, categorizes defect severity into five probability levels: safe (0-0.2), concern (0.2-0.4), warning (0.4-0.6), emergency (0.6-0.8), and critical (0.8-1). The system determines the probability level of the defect by calculating the probability distribution of the current detection feature vector in the Q-GMM model. When the spatiotemporal match between the abnormal vibration signal characteristics and the thermal imaging hotspot exceeds 0.8, the system immediately triggers an emergency shutdown. Simultaneously, an augmented reality visualization report containing the defect location, type, and severity is sent to maintenance personnel via the 5G network. Operation and maintenance personnel can use a smart terminal equipped with a dedicated APP to scan the bearing using the mobile phone camera to intuitively see the three-dimensional annotation information of the defect, as well as maintenance suggestions and operating steps on the screen, thereby improving maintenance efficiency and accuracy.

[0050] Collaborative optimization steps: The edge node uses model distillation technology to compress the complex deep learning model in the cloud by 10 times before deployment. The specific process is: train a large teacher model in the cloud, and then train a small student model on the edge node. By allowing the student model to learn the output probability distribution of the teacher model, the student model can significantly reduce the model parameters and calculation amount while maintaining a high accuracy rate. The edge node participates in federated learning through the secure multi-party computing (MPC) protocol to ensure data privacy and security. After every 1,000 detections, the edge node uploads the encrypted model parameter update gradient to the cloud. The cloud server uses the TensorFlowFederated framework to aggregate multi-node data and update the global model. The digital twin module is built based on the Unity3D engine. By collecting the operating data and test results of the bearing in real time, a digital mirror image consistent with the actual bearing state is created in a virtual environment. Let the actual bearing operating state vector be S real (including speed, load and other parameters), the digital twin mirror state vector is S virt , build state consistency verification formula Here, ||·||2 is the Euclidean norm, which measures the differences between vectors; Consistency is an indicator of state consistency (ranging from 0 to 1, with the closer to 1, the more consistent the digital image is with the actual state). After optimizing the model, this module was used to simulate bearing operation under different operating conditions in a digital twin environment, generating millions of virtual test cases to pre-verify the optimized model. By comparing virtual test results with actual operating data and evaluating the model optimization effect according to the above formula, the model deployment success rate was increased from 75% to 98%, effectively reducing the risk of offline deployment.

[0051] The present invention further comprises the following steps:

[0052] Calibration and compensation steps: A Polytec CLV-2534 laser Doppler vibrometer is deployed as a reference sensor. This device uses a non-contact measurement method with a velocity resolution of 0.1 mm / s and an acceleration resolution of 0.01 m / s. 2 , the measurement frequency range is 0-50kHz. Multi-sensor spatiotemporal calibration is automatically performed every hour. The calibration process is as follows: First, the laser Doppler vibrometer measures the vibration data of a specific point on the bearing surface as a benchmark; then, the system compares the measurement data of other vibration sensors with the benchmark data, calculates the time delay and spatial offset through cross-correlation analysis, and establishes a spatiotemporal conversion model between multiple sensors. When the data of a certain sensor is missing, the system starts the generative adversarial network (GAN) based on implicit neural representation (INR) to reconstruct the data. The GAN network consists of a generator and a discriminator. The generator takes other modal data and time and space coordinates as input, and generates an estimate of the missing signal through a multi-layer perceptron (MLP); the discriminator is used to judge the authenticity of the generated signal. According to actual measurements, the root mean square error (RMSE) of the vibration signal reconstruction is 0.05g, and the RMSE of the acoustic signal reconstruction is 3dB, which meets the detection requirements. The sensor health prediction module uses an LSTM network to analyze historical sensor data, including signal amplitude, signal-to-noise ratio, temperature, and other characteristics, to predict sensor failures 72 hours in advance with 92% accuracy. When a sensor failure is predicted, the system automatically switches to a backup sensor and issues a maintenance reminder.

[0053] The present invention further comprises the following steps:

[0054] Model Evolution Steps: The model performance monitoring system calculates the Shannon entropy of the test results in real time. Shannon entropy reflects the uncertainty of the test results. When the entropy exceeds 0.8 (indicating high uncertainty), the active learning mechanism is triggered. Based on the Bayesian Active Learning (BALD) strategy, the system selects the most valuable samples from the unlabeled data pool. The specific selection process is as follows: First, the current model performs multiple forward propagations on the unlabeled data to obtain multiple predictions. Then, the entropy of each prediction is calculated, and the sample with the highest entropy is selected as the most valuable sample. Annotation is completed using a human-machine collaborative annotation platform (integrated image and semantic annotation capabilities). This platform supports simultaneous online annotation by multiple people and features automatic annotation suggestions and annotation conflict detection, improving annotation efficiency and accuracy. The dynamic model structure adjustment algorithm uses a genetic algorithm, randomly generating 10 network structure variants in each iteration. Each variant is evaluated on a virtual test set using performance metrics such as accuracy, recall, F1 score, and computational complexity. Through genetic operations such as selection, crossover, and mutation, high-performing variants are retained and poorer ones are eliminated. After multiple rounds of iteration, the optimal structure is ultimately selected. This approach increases the model's response speed to new defects by three times, enabling it to quickly adapt to new problems that arise during the production process.

[0055] In the present invention, the diagnosis and prediction step uses a quantum convolutional neural network (QCNN) to replace the traditional convolutional layer, and uses the superposition characteristics of quantum bits to extract defect features in parallel, which improves the reasoning speed by 40%; constructs a defect semantic map, associates defect images with maintenance records, material properties and other knowledge, and realizes joint reasoning of multi-source information through the graph attention network (GAT); develops a sub-pixel positioning algorithm, and uses deep learning-based super-resolution reconstruction technology to improve the defect positioning accuracy to ±0.05mm.

[0056] In the present invention, the decision-making and early warning steps are combined with digital twin technology to construct a digital mirror of the bearing health, generate virtual detection data by simulating different working conditions, and expand the abnormality detection boundary; the quantum Monte Carlo method is used to calculate the probability of defect occurrence, and the uncertainty is quantified as the quantum state probability amplitude; a hierarchical early warning response mechanism is designed. When the predicted remaining life is less than 24 hours, a maintenance work order is automatically generated and a drone is dispatched to deliver spare parts.

[0057] In the present invention, a collaborative optimization step is used to develop a model interpretability module, and layer-by-layer correlation propagation (LRP) technology is used to generate defect feature heat maps to assist engineers in understanding decision-making logic. A global detection data blockchain network is constructed to achieve secure sharing and incentives of cross-enterprise model parameters through smart contracts. Quantum reinforcement learning is used to optimize the model update strategy, increasing the slope of the model performance improvement curve by 60% under resource-constrained conditions.

[0058] In this invention, an intelligent defect repair module is developed, and the operation path of the maintenance robot is generated based on reinforcement learning, which supports operations such as automatic replacement of bearing seals and filling of lubricating oil; a predictive maintenance knowledge graph is constructed, and natural language processing technology is used to extract expert experience from the maintenance manual to achieve rapid tracing of the cause of the fault; an energy consumption optimization system is designed, which reduces the overall energy consumption of the system by 35% by dynamically adjusting the sensor sampling frequency and algorithm calculation accuracy.
