Bearing fault diagnosis is of great importance to ensure the safe and stable operation of mechanical equipment. The actual collected bearing fault signals are susceptible to strong noise interference and bearing samples for each fault state may be insufficient, which increases the difficulty of capturing effective features. Most of the existing diagnostic methods extract features from a single sensor signal for pattern recognition and fault diagnosis. The fault information provided by a single sensor is limited and incomplete, which is usually very difficult to meet the demand for accurate and reliable fault diagnosis in complex scenarios. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a multi-sensor residual convolutional fusion network (MRCFN) for intelligent fault diagnosis of bearings. Firstly, a convolutional pooling module (CPM) is coupled with the designed double ring residual module (DRRM) to rough feature extraction and deep feature mining, which not only captures the discriminative fault features from multi-sensor signal, but also avoids the performance degradation of network. Secondly, a spatial channel reconstruction module (SCRM) is further introduced to eliminate redundant information in the features and improve the network training efficiency. Finally, the presented global interactive perception fusion module (GIPFM) is connected with a classification block (CB) to globally fuse the features extracted from the acoustic and vibration signals and conduct automatic ...
