[0061] Output correction: force the result that does not meet the mechanism into the review process, triggering sensor resampling.
[0062] In addition, the neural symbol hybrid diagnosis engine of the embodiment also integrates a failure cause chain modeling module. This module is started after the physical rule layer verification (S23), and when a specific failure (such as outer ring peeling) is diagnosed, the module is activated. Based on the preset causal network, it analyzes the root cause that may lead to the failure, for example: whether the load in the current and historical data is continuously over-standard, whether the lubrication state (indirectly reflected by temperature) is abnormal, etc., and outputs "high probability root cause: long-term overloading operation" or "suspected poor lubrication" and other diagnostic conclusions with causal relationship, providing deeper insights for operation and maintenance decisions.

[0065] In the embodiment, the total control module is used for overall planning of timing scheduling, exception handling and result output.
