Timely and accurate diagnosis of bearing faults can effectively reduce the chance of accidents in equipment. However, deep learning methods are mostly completely dependent on data and lack interpretability. It is difficult to deal with the differences between real-time data and training data under changing working conditions and noisy environments. In this study, we proposed M-IPISincNet, an explainability multi-source physics-informed convolutional network based on improved SincNet. Rolling bearing fault diagnosis is realized by extracting fault features from vibration and current signals. Firstly, a physics-informed convolutional layer is designed based on inverse Fourier transform and bandpass filters. Fault features are extracted by multi-scale convolution and multi-layer nonlinear mapping. A DBN network is applied extract unsupervised hidden fusion features in the vibration and current signals. The proposed method is validated under the datasets of Paderborn University (PU) and Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), which proves that the proposed method has explainability, robustness and great accuracy under multiple working conditions and noises.
