In recent years, Academia and industry have conducted extensive and in-depth research on bearing-fault-diagnosis technology. However, the current modeling of time-space coupling characteristics in rolling bearing fault diagnosis remains inadequate, and the integration of multi-modal correlations requires further improvement. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a joint diagnosis framework integrating graph convolutional networks (GCNs) with attention-enhanced bidirectional gated recurrent units (BiGRUs). The proposed framework first constructs an improved K-nearest neighbor-based spatio-temporal graph to enhance multidimensional spatial-temporal feature modeling through GCN-based spatial feature extraction. Subsequently, we design an end-to-end spatio-temporal joint learning architecture by implementing a global attention-enhanced BiGRU temporal modeling module. This architecture achieves the deep fusion of spatio-temporal features through the graph-structural transformation of vibration signals and a feature cascading strategy, thereby improving overall model performance. The experiment demonstrated a classification accuracy of 97.08% on three public datasets including CWRU, verifying that this method decouples bearing signals through dynamic spatial topological modeling, effectively combines multi-scale spatiotemporal features for representation, and accurately captures the impact characteristics of bearing faults.
