description To address the challenges of extracting rolling bearing degradation information and the insufficient performance of conventional convolutional networks, this paper proposes a rolling bearing degradation state identification method based on the improved monopulse feature extraction and a one-dimensional dilated residual convolutional neural network (1D-DRCNN). First, the fault pulse envelope waveform features are extracted through phase scanning and synchronous averaging, and a two-stage grid search strategy is employed to achieve FCC calibration. Subsequently, a 1D-DRCNN model is constructed to identify rolling bearing degradation states under different working conditions. The experimental study collects the vibration signals of nine degradation states, including the different sizes of inner and outer ring local faults as well as normal conditions, to comparatively analyze the proposed method’s rapid calibration capability and feature extraction quality. Furthermore, t-SNE visualization is utilized to analyze the network response to bearing degradation features. Finally, the degradation state identification performance across different network architectures is compared in pattern recognition experiments. The results show that the proposed improved feature extraction method significantly reduces the iterative calibration computational burden while effectively extracting local fault degradation information and overcoming complex working condition influence. The established 1D-DRCNN model integrates the advantages of dilated convolution and residual connections and can deeply mine sensitive features and accurately identify different bearing degradation states. The overall recognition accuracy can reach 97.33%.
