[0002] In the field of industrial transmission, rolling bearings, as the joints of rotating machinery, are the cornerstone of stable equipment operation. If even minor damage to bearings is not detected in time, it can easily propagate under continuous load, ultimately leading to transmission failure, cascading equipment damage, and other serious consequences, resulting in unplanned downtime and huge maintenance costs. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and trend prediction of bearing conditions have become a core aspect of intelligent industrial operation and maintenance. Vibration analysis, due to its rich information, mature technology, and ability to achieve online monitoring, presents a significant challenge for those skilled in the art in applying it to rolling bearing fault diagnosis.

[0026] Bus 12 can be an ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) bus, a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus, or an EISA (Extended Industry Standard Architecture) bus, etc. Figure 1 The symbol is represented by a single double-headed arrow, but this does not mean that there is only one bus 12 or one type of bus 12.

[0028] The electronic device provided in this embodiment of the invention may further include a communication interface 13. The communication interface 13 is connected to the processor 10 via a bus.
[0029] It should be understood that, Figure 1 The structure shown is only a partial schematic diagram of the electronic device; the electronic device may also include components that are larger than... Figure 1 The more or fewer components shown, or having the same Figure 1 The different configurations shown. Figure 1 The components shown can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof.
[0030] The rolling bearing condition assessment method provided in this embodiment of the invention can be applied to, but is not limited to, applications in... Figure 1 For the specific process of the electronic devices shown, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 The rolling bearing condition assessment methods include: S10, S20, S30, S40 and S50, which are described in detail below.
[0031] S10 performs mean-removal processing on the vibration signal of the rolling bearing to obtain the initial time-domain signal.
[0032] The initial time-domain signal is the vibration signal after removing the mean.
[0033] S20 performs Fourier transform on the initial time-domain signal to obtain its corresponding frequency-domain signal, and obtains the noise index of the rolling bearing based on the frequency-domain signal.
[0034] The frequency domain signal includes the frequency and the amplitude corresponding to the frequency.
[0035] S30 performs envelope demodulation on the initial time-domain signal to obtain its corresponding envelope spectrum, and obtains the sideband index of the rolling bearing based on the envelope spectrum.
[0036] S40 performs bandpass filtering on the initial time-domain signal to obtain its corresponding filtered time-domain signal, and obtains the impact index of the rolling bearing based on the filtered time-domain signal.
[0037] The upper and lower limits of the bandpass filter can be set to 600Hz-10kHz, but are not limited to this range. This range can be adjusted as needed.
[0038] S50 performs multimodal feature weighted fusion based on noise index, sideband index and impact index to obtain a bearing health index that reflects the health status of rolling bearings.
[0039] In the rolling bearing condition assessment method provided in this embodiment of the invention, multimodal feature weighted fusion is performed based on noise index, sideband index and impact index to overcome the defects such as single assessment dimension, lack of information on deterioration causes and insensitivity to early faults, and to achieve early, accurate and continuous quantitative assessment and trend prediction of rolling bearing health status.
[0040] Based on the foregoing, this embodiment of the invention also provides an optional implementation method for the vibration signal acquisition process, which is described below.
[0041] The vibration signal acquisition unit is deployed in the detection area of the rolling bearing. Under stable operating conditions, the vibration signal of the rolling bearing is acquired according to a preset spectral resolution. The vibration signal acquisition unit can be an accelerometer or a velocity sensor. The spectral resolution requirement is a sampling frequency greater than 1 Hz, and the sampling duration is a set duration corresponding to the sampling frequency. A higher sampling frequency results in a shorter sampling duration; for example, a 1.28-second sampling duration for an acceleration vibration signal at a sampling frequency of 51200 Hz. Stable operating conditions refer to a preset time period after startup.
[0042] Building upon the preceding text, this embodiment of the invention also provides an optional implementation method for obtaining the noise index of the rolling bearing in step S20, as detailed below. Obtaining the noise index of the rolling bearing based on a frequency domain signal includes steps S210 to S250, which are specifically described below.
[0043] S210, obtains the local mean and local standard deviation of the frequency domain signal.
[0044] S220, determine the adaptive threshold based on the local mean and local standard deviation.
[0045] Optionally, the adaptive threshold is ,in, Represents the local mean. Indicates local standard deviation. It is a constant, usually taken as 3 to 5.
[0046] S230 identifies and removes transient impact points in frequency domain signals based on adaptive thresholding.
[0047] S240 performs a moving average process on the frequency domain signal after removing transient impact points to obtain the noise floor signal.
[0048] Moving average processing can be understood as performing moving average completion on the transient impact points of the discarded signal.
[0049] S250 obtains the noise index of the rolling bearing based on the noise floor signal.
[0050] Building upon the preceding text, this embodiment of the invention also provides an optional implementation method for the content in S250, as detailed below. Obtaining the noise index of the rolling bearing based on the noise floor signal includes S251 and S252, which are specifically described below.
[0051] S251 extracts the noise energy percentage, noise significance, noise distribution width, and signal ratio from the noise background signal.
[0052] The signal-to-noise ratio is defined as the ratio of the maximum amplitude of the noise background signal to the maximum amplitude of the original spectrum.
[0053] S252, based on the noise energy ratio, noise significance, noise distribution width and signal ratio, performs a fusion calculation to obtain the noise index of the rolling bearing.
[0054] The specific implementation of fusion computing can be as follows: Normalize each indicator; calculate the weight of each indicator based on the entropy weight method using a large amount of rolling bearing sample data; then, manually adjust the weights of each indicator by multiplying the weight of the noise energy ratio by a coefficient greater than 1 and the weight of the signal-to-weight ratio by a coefficient less than 1. The noise index is then the weighted sum of all indicators.
[0055] Building upon the preceding text, this embodiment of the invention also provides an optional implementation method for obtaining the sideband index of the rolling bearing based on the envelope spectrum in step S30, as detailed below. Obtaining the sideband index of the rolling bearing based on the envelope spectrum includes steps S310 to S340, which are specifically described below.
[0056] S310, determine the bearing failure characteristic frequency (fb) based on the rolling bearing size and rotational frequency.
[0057] Among them, the rotational frequency fr refers to the actual rotational frequency of the shaft on which the rolling bearing is installed. When the motor is directly connected to the bearing shaft, it can be approximately equal to the rotational frequency of the drive motor.
[0058] S320 extracts the left n-order sideband group and the right n-order sideband group (i.e., fb±n×fr) from the envelope spectrum, centered on the bearing fault characteristic frequency (fb).
[0059] The left n-order sideband set and the right n-order sideband set can be represented as fb±n×fr.
[0060] S330, calculate the total energy and saliency of each sideband group.
[0061] Sideband significance is defined as the ratio of the total energy of the sideband group to the energy at the center frequency. The greater the sideband significance, the more likely it is to indicate a fault in the inner ring of the bearing.
[0062] Obtain the left n-order sideband set and the right n-order sideband set respectively, and calculate the total energy and saliency of the sideband set.
[0063] S340 performs a fusion calculation based on the saliency of each sideband group and the total energy to obtain the sideband index of the rolling bearing.
[0064] The sideband group energy is normalized, and the normalized sideband energy is the ratio of the sideband group energy to the total energy of the envelope spectrum. Optionally, the sideband significance of the sideband group is used as the fusion weight for its normalized sideband energy, and a weighted fusion calculation is performed to obtain the sideband index of the rolling bearing.
[0065] Building upon the preceding text, this embodiment of the invention also provides an optional implementation method for obtaining the impact index of the rolling bearing based on the filtered time-domain signal in step S40, as detailed below. Obtaining the impact index of the rolling bearing based on the filtered time-domain signal includes steps S410 to S450, which are specifically described below.
[0066] S410 performs downsampling on the filtered time-domain signal to determine the location of the impact peak and the corresponding impact energy.
[0067] S420, the impact baseline is determined based on the impact peak location and the corresponding impact energy.
[0068] The impact baseline calculation is explained as follows: based on the determined impact peak position, significant impact points are removed from the downsampled signal, and the remaining signal points are filled by interpolation. The impact baseline is then calculated using statistical methods on the filled signal, such as following the 3σ criterion.
[0069] S430 divides the filtered time-domain signal into multiple sub-segments.
[0070] It should be understood that the waveform can be divided into 8 sub-segments, but is not limited to this.
[0071] S440, calculate the kurtosis, peak value, impact count, and weight of each segment waveform. The impact count is the number of times the impact energy is greater than the impact baseline. The peak value is the maximum impact amplitude in the segment waveform and the maximum positive amplitude in the segment waveform. The weight of the segment is the ratio of the impact count of each segment to the total impact count.
[0072] S450, based on the kurtosis K of each sub-segment waveform i Sub-segment peak P i Impact counting ct i and sub-segment weight w i We perform weighted calculations to determine the impact index of the rolling bearing.
[0073] Impact Index Fusion Calculation Logic: , where α, β, and γ are adjustable coefficients.
[0074] Building upon the preceding text, this embodiment of the invention also provides an optional implementation method for the content in S50, as detailed below. Multimodal feature weighted fusion is performed based on the noise index, sideband index, and impact index to obtain a bearing health index reflecting the health status of the rolling bearing, including: S501 and S502, which are specifically described below.
[0075] S501 performs dimensionless processing on the noise index, sideband index, and impact index to obtain dimensionless noise index, dimensionless sideband index, and dimensionless impact index.
[0076] By using a large amount of sample data on the healthy state of rolling bearings, the noise index, sideband index, and impact index are calculated. The quantile of each index is used as the health benchmark value for that index, with the 90th quantile being an option. The dimensionless index is then the ratio of the actual index to the health benchmark value, representing the multiple by which the index exceeds the healthy state.
[0077] S502, based on the dimensionless noise index, dimensionless sideband index and dimensionless impact index, multimodal feature weighted fusion is performed to obtain the bearing health index reflecting the health status of the rolling bearing.
[0078] Weighted fusion logic: First, initial weights w are assigned to each index, including noise, sideband, and impulse. n w s w i w n +w s +w i =1, for example, assigning values of 0.4, 0.3, and 0.3; next, calculate the fault contribution of each index, defined as max(0, dimensionless exponent - 1); then, based on the fault contribution, adjust the contribution based on the original feature dimensions associated with each index. For example, if the noise energy ratio and noise distribution width are high, indicating rich spectral noise features, then assign relative importance to the noise index; if the sideband energy and sideband significance are high, then assign relative importance to the sideband index; if the impulse count is rich and the kurtosis is high, then assign relative importance to the impulse index. The relative importance is defined as the fault contribution raised to the power of α. The dynamic weight of each index is the ratio of the relative importance of that index to the sum of the relative importance of all indices. Finally, calculate the weighted weight of each index as: β Initial weights + (1-β) Dynamic weighting. The bearing condition index is a weighted average of the dimensionless indices.
[0079] Please refer to Figure 3 In an optional implementation, the rolling bearing condition assessment method further includes S601, S602 and S603, which are described in detail below.
[0080] S601, when the bearing health index is less than the first threshold, the rolling bearing is determined to be in a healthy state.
[0081] The first threshold can be, but is not limited to, 1. A bearing health index < 1 indicates that the bearing is in good operating condition, lubricated well, and the unit can continue to operate normally without human intervention for equipment maintenance. The rolling bearing is in a healthy state.
[0082] S602, when the bearing health index is greater than or equal to the first threshold and less than the second threshold, the rolling bearing is determined to be in a sub-healthy state.
[0083] The second threshold can be, but is not limited to, 2. If the bearing health index is between 1 and 2, it indicates that the bearing is in slightly poor operating condition, with early to mid-stage physical damage or poor lubrication. It is recommended to improve lubrication and continue to operate under monitoring to confirm that the rolling bearing is in a sub-healthy state.
[0084] S603, when the bearing health index is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the rolling bearing is determined to be in a damaged state.
[0085] A bearing health index >2 indicates that the bearing is in poor operating condition, with significant physical damage, or very poor lubrication, or dynamic and static friction. The unit is not recommended to operate continuously for a long time and requires manual maintenance.
[0086] This invention can acquire vibration signals of rolling bearings in real time. It creatively proposes three physically complementary features: impact index, noise index, and sideband index. The impact index specifically captures transient impacts caused by local damage (such as pitting and spalling). The noise index quantifies the progressive degradation caused by generalized wear and deterioration of lubrication conditions by accurately separating the noise background. The sideband index targets periodically modulated faults and provides fault location information through sideband analysis. Inner ring faults have significant sideband characteristics with the shaft rotation frequency fr as the interval, while outer ring faults have harmonic characteristics. A sideband index greater than 1.5 indicates an inner ring fault, while a sideband index less than 0.5 indicates an outer ring fault. Faults in between are generally mixed faults. By extracting these three types of features, a multi-dimensional feature profile is constructed, capable of simultaneously perceiving instantaneous damage, progressive degradation, and fault type of the bearing. The fault type classification is jointly determined by the magnitudes of the impact index, sideband index, and noise index. If all three indices are low, the equipment is in a healthy state; if the impact index and sideband index are relatively low, but the noise index is high, it generally indicates a poor lubrication fault; if the impact index and sideband index are high, but the noise index is medium or low, it generally indicates an inner ring fault; if the impact index is high, the sideband index is low, and the noise index is medium or low, it generally indicates an outer ring fault; if all three indices are high, it generally indicates a combined or severe fault. For example, when early inner ring pitting occurs in a bearing, this invention can not only provide a bearing health status assessment through the bearing health index, but also identify whether the fault points to an inner ring or outer ring fault based on the magnitude of the sideband index—something that no single parameter can accomplish independently. This fundamentally solves the problem of a single assessment dimension and a lack of diagnostic information.
[0087] This invention integrates adaptive threshold detection and moving average filtering to extract noise background features, and combines this with multi-parameter time-domain impact extraction to improve the sensitivity of early fault detection. Noise background is extremely sensitive to lubrication degradation and uniform wear; these changes precede macroscopic damage, and changes in their energy proportion and distribution width can serve as early warning signals. The comprehensive impact index integrates multiple impact-sensitive parameters such as kurtosis and peak value, making it more stable and sensitive than a single peak value or kurtosis, and enabling earlier detection of weak damage impacts. When bearing lubrication begins to deteriorate or slight spalling occurs in the early stages, both the noise index and impact index show an upward trend.
