RUL Prediction of Rolling Bearings Based on Multi-Information Fusion and Autoencoder Modeling.

As an important part of industrial equipment, the safe and stable operation of rolling bearings is an important guarantee for the performance of mechanical equipment. Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to characterize the running state of rolling bearings, this paper mainly analyzes and processes the vibration signals of rolling bearings, extracts and fuses multi-information entropy, and monitors the running state of rolling bearings and predicts the remaining useful life prediction (RUL) through test verification. Firstly, in view of the difficulty in characterizing the bearings running state characteristics, a rolling bearings running state monitoring method based on multi-information entropy fusion and denoising autoencoder (DAE) was proposed to extract the multi-entropy index features of vibration signals to improve the accuracy of feature extraction, and to solve the problem of not obvious information representation of a single feature indicator and missing information in the feature screening process. Secondly, in view of the problems of low prediction accuracy and poor robustness and generalization in traditional RUL models, a rolling bearings RUL model combining convolutional autoencoder (CAE) and bidirectional long short-term memory network (BiLSTM) was proposed. The introduction of convolution operation made CAE have the feature of weight sharing, reducing the complexity of the model. Finally, the XJTU-SY data set was used to verify the constructed model. The results show that the condition monitoring model established in this paper can accurately evaluate the running state of the rolling bearing and accurately locate the failure time. At the same time, the residual life prediction model can realize the residual life prediction of most data sets, and has good accuracy and robustness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
