Under the variable working condition, the fault signal of the rolling bearing contains rich characteristic information. In view of the problem that the traditional fault diagnosis method of the rolling bearing depends on the prior knowledge and expert experience too much and the low recognition rate of some faults with the single signal, one method of rolling bearing fault diagnosis based on information fusion under the variable working condition is proposed. Firstly, one test and multi-information acquisition system of the rolling bearing is built. Secondly, the metro traction motor bearing nu216 is selected as the research object, and to prefabricate the defects, the data of acoustic emission and vibration acceleration signals during the test of the bearing is acquired. Then, the original signal is processed and extracted by the wavelet packet decomposition, and the normalized feature information is fused by the convolution neural network. Finally, the two-dimensional convolution neural network model is established to diagnose the bearing fault of the metro traction motor under different conditions. The test results show that the intelligent fault diagnosis method of the subway traction motor bearing based on information fusion under variable working conditions can accurately identify the fault type of the bearing, while the load and speed change. When the neural network training set and the test set cover the same working conditions, the accuracy can reach 100%.
