摘要

Wind-turbine bearing vibrations are highly non-stationary and evolve slowly, so incipient faults are buried in noise and historical data contain very few labelled defect examples. Traditional data-hungry diagnostics therefore seldom apply. We introduce a dual-level information fusion network (DLIFN) that recasts the problem as a few-shot, self-supervised learning task. Time- and frequency-domain waveforms are concatenated into a two-channel image to exploit both transient impulses and periodic modulations; a lightweight, top-down architecture with lateral links and embedded multi-scale feature-fusion modules (MSFM) then aggregates cross-band, cross-scale descriptors. Before any target labels are seen, the network is pre-trained on abundant unlabeled source-domain records through a contrastive objective that incorporates a kurtosis-guided consistency term explicitly preserving the impulsive, heavy-tailed statistics that mark early defects. Fine-tuning with only 20% of target labels yields 99.3% mean diagnostic accuracy on four real bearing datasets, outperforming state-of-the-art methods by 1.9 percentage points while achieving a standard deviation below 0.5%. DLIFN achieves 94.4% accuracy when labelled data are reduced to 10% and generalises well across speeds, loads and bearing types, offering an interpretable, data-efficient solution for incipient fault detection in wind turbines and similar assets.
