Vibration data is collected from four vibration sensors, acoustic emission data from four acoustic emission sensors, and oil film temperature and pressure data from the temperature and pressure sensors after the bearing test bench has been operating smoothly.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the fault diagnosis method of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0068] 8) Obtain vibration characteristics F VB , vibration characteristics F VBIt is the weighted fusion of the output of all vibration sensor data after passing through the feature extraction network. The closer the vibration signal is to white noise, the greater its power spectrum entropy is. Therefore, the power spectrum entropy can be used to analyze the vibration signals from different vibration sensors. Weighted, that is, the signal with larger power spectrum entropy corresponds to A smaller weight should be assigned to reduce its interference with the final diagnosis result. The signal with smaller power spectrum entropy corresponds to A larger weight should be assigned to increase its contribution to the final diagnosis result.

The feature F in step 11) is input into the classifier network to obtain the fault diagnosis result.

[0083] It should be noted that the classifier network model is trained based on the input dynamic response data and lubrication characteristic data (specifically, the dynamic response data and lubrication characteristic data of the combined bearing under normal operating conditions and typical fault conditions can be obtained through the simulation tests of normal operating conditions, simulation tests of combined bearing wear conditions, simulation tests of oil-deficient conditions, simulation tests of oil contamination conditions, and simulation tests of rotor eccentricity conditions below, so as to obtain the original sample data as training data), and the patterns of normal operating conditions and typical fault conditions are learned. After the classifier network model training is completed (the specific model training method is the existing technology and is not described in detail here), it can automatically determine whether the data represents a normal operating condition or a fault condition based on the input data feature F.

[0084] The combined bearings in gearboxes for high-power nuclear power circulating pumps exhibit different performance under normal operating conditions and typical fault conditions. These differences are reflected in the bearings' dynamic response data and lubrication characteristics. Therefore, we collected dynamic response and lubrication characteristic data for the combined bearings under normal operating conditions and typical fault conditions to obtain raw sample data for training.

[0085] 1. Simulation test of normal working conditions (healthy state)

[0086] A fault-free combined bearing (i.e., a healthy combined bearing) is installed on a bearing test bench for testing. After the operating conditions reach stability (the speed is stable and the temperature no longer fluctuates over a large range), a data acquisition component is used to collect various dynamic response data (including vibration data and acoustic emission data) and lubrication performance data (including oil film pressure data and oil film temperature data) of the combined bearing under this operating condition. Data collection is performed at least three times, with the same interval between each collection.

[0087] 2. Simulation test of combined bearing wear conditions

[0088] The artificially processed worn combined bearing is installed on the bearing test bench for testing. After the operating conditions reach stability, the dynamic response data and lubrication performance data of the combined bearing under the operating conditions are collected using a data acquisition component. The data collection is performed at least three times, with the same interval between each collection.

[0089] 3. Simulation test of oil-starved conditions

[0090] Install a fault-free combined bearing on a bearing test bench and conduct an oil-starved test. After the operating conditions reach stability, maintain this state for 15 minutes before controlling the oil pump's lubricating oil output flow (or shutting down the oil pump). Reduce the lubricating oil output flow to a certain level (or stop the oil supply) so that the residual lubricating oil inside the bearing is insufficient to form a complete dynamic oil film. While controlling the lubricating oil output flow (or shutting down the oil pump), use the test system to begin collecting various dynamic response data and lubrication characteristic data of the bearing under oil-starved conditions. Data collection is performed at least three times, with the same interval between each collection.

[0091] 4. Simulation test of oil contamination conditions

[0092] A fault-free combined bearing is installed on a bearing test bench for an oil starvation test. Before the test, a certain mass of iron powder particles (or other dust) is added to the lubricating oil used in the test. By adjusting the mass of the added iron powder particles (or other dust) and the amount of lubricating oil, a contaminated oil with a certain mass concentration is prepared. An ultrasonic bath is used to evenly distribute the particles within the contaminated oil. At the beginning of the test, the oil circulation and cooling device are first started. After the combined bearing is soaked with the contaminated oil, the test begins. After the operating conditions reach stability, a data acquisition component is used to collect various dynamic response data and lubrication performance data of the combined bearing under these operating conditions. Data collection is performed at least three times, with the same interval between each collection.

[0093] 5. Simulation test of rotor eccentricity

[0094] A combined bearing used for rotor eccentricity simulation testing was installed on a bearing test bench for testing. The three bearing pads on one side of the combined bearing were artificially machined to be taller than the three bearing pads on the other side. After the operating conditions reached stability, a data acquisition component was used to collect dynamic response data and lubrication performance data for the combined bearing under these operating conditions. Data collection was performed at least three times, with equal intervals between each collection.

[0095] Example 2

[0096] This embodiment provides a combined bearing fault diagnosis system, including a data acquisition unit and a diagnosis unit. The data acquisition unit is connected to a vibration sensor and an acoustic emission sensor, respectively. The data acquisition unit acquires signals from n (for example, four) vibration sensors and acquires signals from m (for example, four) acoustic emission sensors. The diagnosis unit receives the signals acquired by the data acquisition unit and performs diagnosis using the combined bearing fault diagnosis method of embodiment one to obtain a combined bearing fault diagnosis result.

[0097] The present invention measures multiple physical quantities: two different dynamic response data sets (vibration data and acoustic emission data) and two lubrication characteristic data sets (oil film pressure data and oil film temperature data). This diverse set of measurement data helps provide information about the fault from multiple perspectives, preventing fault diagnosis systems from misjudging the fault mechanism due to insufficient information. Furthermore, this rich information helps further understand and explain the failure mechanism of the combined bearing. Since vibration signals are the most commonly used dynamic response data for validating dynamic models and fault diagnosis, four vibration sensors are used to collect vibration signals of the combined bearing under normal conditions and under various typical fault conditions. Acoustic emission (AE) is the phenomenon in which elastic stress waves are generated by the rapid release of energy from a measured object due to structural changes. Therefore, AE signals have important applications in mechanical fault diagnosis. AE is dynamic and real-time, enabling continuous measurement and monitoring of combined bearings. Furthermore, AE signals exhibit excellent anti-interference and anti-noise capabilities, helping to improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis. Therefore, four AE signal sensors are used to collect AE response signals of the combined bearing under normal and fault conditions. The fault state of the combined bearing has a direct impact on the internal dynamic pressure oil film. Therefore, temperature sensors and pressure sensors are equipped to measure the changes in the internal oil film temperature and pressure of the bearing under normal conditions and various typical fault conditions.
