Abstract

Rolling bearings are key components in the power transmission system of naval ships, and their operating status directly afects the reliability and safety of the ship power system. Aiming at the problems of complex operating environment, non-linear and non-stationary vibration signals, and weak early fault characteristics of naval ship equipment, this paper studies the virtual measurement method for rolling bearing faults of naval ships. A fault virtual measurement model fusing convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) network is constructed. The CNN is used to extract the local impactfeatures of vibration signals, and the LSTM network is adopted to model the temporal evolution law of fault features, so as to realize the end-to-end mapping from vibration signals to bearingfault status. An experimental dataset is built based on the vibration data of ship rotating machinery, and the modelperformance is verified through model comparison experiments, noise robustness tests and early fault detection experiments. The experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms the comparison models such as support vector machine (SVM), CNN and LSTM in terms offault diagnosis accuracy, anti-noise performance and early fault identification ability, with a diagnosis accuracy of92.1%. The research results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve high-precision virtual measurement of the health status of key components in ship power systems.
