Empirical wavelet transform (EWT) based on the scale space method has been widely used in rolling bearing fault diagnosis. However, using the scale space method to divide the frequency band, the redundant components can easily be separated, causing the band to rupture and making it difficult to extract rolling bearing fault characteristic frequency effectively. This paper develops a method for optimizing the frequency band region based on the frequency domain feature parameter set. The frequency domain feature parameter set includes two characteristic parameters: mean and variance. After adaptively dividing the frequency band by the scale space method, the mean and variance of each band are calculated. Sub-bands with mean and variance less than the main frequency band are combined with surrounding bands for subsequent analysis. An adaptive empirical wavelet filter on each frequency band is established to obtain the corresponding empirical mode. The margin factor sensitive to the shock pulse signal is introduced into the screening of empirical modes. The empirical mode with the largest margin factor is selected to envelope spectrum analysis. Simulation and experiment data show this method avoids over-segmentation and redundancy and can extract the fault characteristic frequency easier compared with only scale space methods. fault diagnosis, empirical wavelet transform, scale space method, feature parameter, margin factor Citation:

Introduction

A rolling bearing is a precision standard machine component that is widely used in mechanical equipment. According to relevant information, 21% of the total number of mechanical failures are caused by damaged rolling bearings. In ma-

chinery and equipment, due to heavy loads and non-stationary conditions, bearings and other important mechanical parts are inevitably damaged after long-term operation [1–3]. How to effectively detect and diagnose faults in rolling bearings has become a hot research topic [4]. Vibration analysis is considered as an effective method f
