The invention provides a rolling bearing fault
feature extraction method based on an
independent component analysis and
cepstrum theory. The rolling bearing fault
feature extraction method comprises the steps of acquiring a
vibration acceleration testing
signal of a rolling bearing by using an acceleration sensor; decoupling and separating the
vibration acceleration testing
signal by using
FastICA based on
negentropy maximization; selecting a separated
signal capable of representing fault
feather information to the maximum extent; carrying out
cepstrum analysis on the selected separated signal, and drawing a
cepstrum chart; observing whether the cepstrum chart has a fault feature frequency or an obvious
peak value at a frequency multiplication position, and furthermore, judging whether the rolling bearing has a fault. By using the rolling bearing fault
feature extraction method, the feature information of a fault signal of the rolling bearing can be effectively recognized from a complex
sideband signal, a periodical fault component in a
sideband can be conveniently extracted, the fault information is remarkably enhanced, the fault diagnosis precision is greatly improved, the fault diagnosis time period is shortened, and the
spectral analysis difficulty is simplified; in addition, the rolling bearing fault feature extraction method is easy to realize and good in real-time property.
