Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and system for performing fault diagnosis by bearing noise detection. The method provides: collecting noise in bearing detection, the noise comprising bearing noise and operating condition noise; subjecting the collected noise to pre-processing, to obtain a first time domain signal and a second frequency domain signal; and inputting the first time domain signal and second frequency domain signal to a bearing fault diagnosis model. The bearing fault diagnosis model includes a characteristic extraction model and a fault discrimination model, the characteristic extraction model subjects the first time domain signal and second frequency domain signal to characteristic extraction separately to obtain a first characteristic associated with a time domain shock peak and a second characteristic associated with a fault frequency peak. Moreover, the fault discrimination model combines the first characteristic and second characteristic, and performs fault discrimination on the basis of a combined characteristic.
