For example, in the working condition where the real-time load is greater than the preset load or the real-time speed is greater than the preset speed, the fixed lubricating oil flow may cause insufficient lubrication of the motor bearing, which will accelerate the wear of the motor bearing.

[0017] Figure 1 The flowchart of a method for monitoring a motor bearing is shown. Specifically, in an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, this embodiment provides a method for monitoring a motor bearing, and the method includes the following steps: S110, obtaining the motor bearing signals collected in advance or in real time, where the motor bearing signals include but are not limited to the motor bearing current; S120, performing state monitoring on the motor bearing based on the signal value reduction amount and the signal waveform of the motor bearing signals within a preset time period; where the state monitoring result of the motor bearing includes that the lubricating oil flow rate of the motor bearing at the current moment is less than the preset lubricating oil flow rate; S130, dynamically adjusting the lubricating oil flow rate of the motor bearing according to the state monitoring result of the motor bearing.

[0018] In some exemplary embodiments, the motor bearing current includes, but is not limited to, capacitive charging and discharging current, mechanical spark discharge current, circulating shaft current, rotor grounding shaft current, etc. Among them, the capacitive charging and discharging current, mechanical spark discharge current, circulating shaft current, and rotor grounding shaft current can be obtained through calculation or directly collected by instruments. For example, they can be directly collected by an oscilloscope. As an example, if the aforementioned motor bearing is a motor bearing in a new energy vehicle powertrain or a hybrid box of a new energy vehicle, the motor bearing current can be divided into differential mode shaft current and common mode shaft current according to the formation mechanism. The circulation path of the differential mode shaft current: the loop formed by the motor shaft → the motor bearing → the housing → the other end motor bearing, mainly represented by capacitive charging and discharging current, and no charge crosses the actual oil film insulation layer. The circulation path of the common mode current: the motor shaft → the motor bearing → the housing → the grounding point, mainly represented by mechanical spark discharge current (Electrical Discharge Machining, abbreviated as EDM), circulating shaft current, and rotor grounding shaft current. In all these cases, the oil film breakdown phenomenon occurs, which seriously affects the operation of the motor bearing and needs to be eliminated. Since there is an oil film between the inner and outer rings and the balls at the position of the motor bearing in the hybrid box, similar to a capacitive medium, the inner and outer rings of the motor bearing and the balls form capacitor plates and are in a non-conductive state. Therefore, the schematic diagram of the equivalent capacitance of the motor bearing can be referred to Figure 2 as shown. In Figure 2 , C0 can represent the equivalent capacitance of the inner and outer rings of the motor bearing, C b0 can represent the equivalent capacitance between the ball and the outer ring of the motor bearing, and C bi can represent the equivalent capacitance between the ball and the inner ring of the motor bearing. The insulation of the equivalent capacitance is determined by the thickness of the oil film between the inner and outer rings of the motor bearing and the balls. When the lubrication state is good and the insulation is high, the equivalent capacitance does not break down and no breakdown current is generated. When there is poor lubrication and low insulation, the equivalent capacitance is easily broken down and a breakdown current is generated. This breakdown current is likely to cause electrical erosion of the motor bearing, and the occurrence of electrical erosion will affect the reliability and stability of the operation of the motor bearing, as shown in Figure 3 . Figure 3 In (1), (2), (3), and (4) in r , they respectively represent different electrical erosion situations. In addition, the different content of the dielectric in the capacitor can be used to affect the insulation of the capacitor. The basic principle is to utilize the different insulation properties of lubricating oil films with different thicknesses. The thicker the oil film, the better the insulation, the higher the breakdown voltage required, and the less likely it is to form a breakdown current. The corresponding calculation formula for the equivalent capacitance can be: C = (ɛ0 * ɛ r * A) / d, where C is the equivalent capacitance, ɛ0 is the vacuum permittivity, ɛ r is the relative permittivity of the lubricating oil, A is the electrode area, and d is the oil film thickness.

[0019] According to the above description, in some exemplary embodiments, the process of monitoring the state of the motor bearing based on the signal value reduction and signal waveform of the motor bearing signal within a preset time period includes: within the preset time period, when the signal value reduction of the motor bearing signal is greater than or equal to a preset threshold and the signal waveform of the motor bearing signal is different from the preset waveform, output the state monitoring result of the motor bearing as insufficient lubrication; under the condition of insufficient lubrication, the lubricating oil flow rate of the motor bearing at the current moment is less than the preset lubricating oil flow rate. In some examples, the preset time period and the preset threshold can be set and selected according to the actual situation, and no specific numerical limitations are imposed here. For example, the preset time period can be set as the single sampling time of the motor bearing signal. Another example is that when the motor bearing signal is the motor bearing current, the preset threshold can be set to 0.2A, 0.25A, 0.3A, etc. In some examples, the preset waveform can be set and selected according to the actual situation, and no specific limitations are imposed on the preset waveform here. For example, the preset waveform can be a cosine waveform. As an example, within the single sampling time of the motor bearing signal, if the motor bearing current exceeds 0.2A and then rapidly drops to 0A, that is, the reduction amount of the motor bearing current within the single sampling time is greater than the preset threshold of 0.2A, and at the same time the waveform of the motor bearing current is not a complete cosine waveform or no longer has the characteristics of a cosine wave, it can be determined that the motor bearing has an electrical erosion phenomenon, and at this time the output state monitoring result of the motor bearing is insufficient lubrication. And under the condition of insufficient lubrication, the lubricating oil flow rate of the motor bearing at the current moment is less than the preset lubricating oil flow rate. In addition, in some examples, if within the preset time period, the signal value reduction of the motor bearing signal is less than the preset threshold and the signal waveform of the motor bearing signal is the same as the preset waveform, the output state monitoring result of the motor bearing at this time can be recorded as normal lubrication. Under the condition of normal lubrication, the lubricating oil flow rate of the motor bearing at the current moment is greater than or equal to the preset lubricating oil flow rate. The process of obtaining the state monitoring result that the lubrication of the motor bearing is normal based on the motor bearing current can refer to the foregoing process, and will not be elaborated here.

[0020] According to the above description, in some examples, the definitions and classifications of currents such as capacitive charge and discharge current, mechanical spark discharge current, circulating shaft current, and rotor ground shaft current can refer to Table 1 below.

[0021] Table 1 Definitions and Classifications of Motor Bearing Currents

[0022] Since a motor shaft voltage will be generated on the motor shaft of a new energy vehicle hybrid box assembly during operation, and the motor shaft voltage can be the potential difference between both ends of the motor shaft, at a local part of the motor shaft, and between the motor shaft and the ground, the potential difference that appears between the inner and outer rings of the motor bearing is the motor bearing oil film voltage. At the same time, according to the relevant standards, the effective value of the motor shaft voltage is not greater than 0.5V. The motor bearing oil film voltage is mainly generated by the potential difference caused by variable frequency power supply, and its essence is alternating current. After combining with the equivalent capacitance on the motor bearing, a simple AC circuit is formed. Therefore, in Table 1, i can represent the capacitive charge and discharge current, C can represent the equivalent capacitance, and dv / dt can represent the differential result of the motor bearing oil film voltage with respect to time.

[0023] In some exemplary embodiments, when the lubrication of the motor bearing is poor, the insulation of the lubricating oil covering the inner and outer rings and the balls of the motor bearing decreases, resulting in a gradual decrease in the equivalent capacitance bearing capacity of the motor bearing, and it is very easy to occur the phenomenon of capacitance breakdown. At this time, it is necessary to increase the lubrication at the motor bearing, increase the oil film thickness, enhance the equivalent capacitance insulation, and improve the capacitance breakdown bearing capacity. At the same time, it can be obtained from Table 1 that the capacitive charge and discharge is actually the current formed by repeatedly charging and discharging the equivalent capacitance, and there is no capacitance breakdown phenomenon, and no electro-erosion of the motor bearing will occur. The other three shaft currents have all occurred capacitance breakdown and short-time discharge, and electro-erosion will occur in all cases, which endangers the stable operation of the motor bearing. Therefore, the process of monitoring the state of the motor bearing based on the signal value reduction amount and the signal waveform of the motor bearing signal within a preset time period may further include: monitoring the state of the motor bearing based on the mechanical spark discharge current reduction amount and the mechanical spark discharge current waveform corresponding to the motor bearing within a preset time period; wherein, the mechanical spark discharge current is formed under the condition that the motor shaft voltage breaks through the lubricating oil film of the motor bearing, and the motor shaft voltage is formed based on the potential difference between both ends of the motor rotating shaft, the local part of the motor rotating shaft, and the motor rotating shaft to the ground. As shown in Table 1, when the motor shaft voltage is large enough to break through the lubricating oil film of the motor bearing, a breakdown will occur at this time and a mechanical spark discharge current will be generated. As another example, the process of monitoring the state of the motor bearing based on the signal value reduction amount and the signal waveform of the motor bearing signal within a preset time period may further include: monitoring the state of the motor bearing based on the circulating shaft current reduction amount and the circulating shaft current waveform corresponding to the motor bearing within a preset time period; wherein, the circulating shaft current is obtained from the motor shaft voltage with flux asymmetry or the motor shaft voltage generated by variable frequency power supply. As shown in Table 1, the classical circulating shaft current can be caused by the motor shaft voltage with flux asymmetry, and the high-frequency circulating shaft current can be caused by the motor shaft voltage generated by variable frequency power supply. As yet another example, the process of monitoring the state of the motor bearing based on the signal value reduction amount and the signal waveform of the motor bearing signal within a preset time period may further include: monitoring the state of the motor bearing based on the rotor ground fault shaft current reduction amount and the rotor ground fault shaft current waveform corresponding to the motor bearing within a preset time period; wherein, the rotor ground fault shaft current is formed under the condition that the impedance between the rotor and the ground is less than the impedance between the stator and the ground and the current flows along a preset path, and the preset path includes passing through the stator winding, the stator core, the motor bearing, the motor rotating shaft, and the ground point. As shown in Table 1, when the impedance Z 转子 is less than the impedance Z 定子 of the stator to the ground, part of the common-mode current can flow along the path of the stator winding - stator core - motor bearing - motor rotating shaft - ground to form the rotor ground fault shaft current. Since the characteristic of the rotor ground fault shaft current is that it requires the impedance Z 转子 <Z 定子It can only occur when the conditions are met. Therefore, when conducting electrical signal monitoring and analysis, based on the current characteristics corresponding to the three harmful shaft currents, with the mechanical spark discharge current and the circulating shaft current as the main focus, the condition monitoring of the motor bearing can be carried out. The specific monitoring process can be referred to the above description and will not be elaborated here.

[0024] In some exemplary embodiments, if the motor bearing is from the motor bearing in the new energy vehicle powertrain or the new energy vehicle hybrid box, the process of dynamically adjusting the lubricating oil flow rate of the motor bearing according to the condition monitoring result of the motor bearing may include: under the condition that the vehicle powertrain includes the motor bearing, transmitting the first potential difference and the second potential difference to the electronic control unit in the vehicle; wherein, the first potential difference is obtained based on the potential difference between the first voltage test point and the motor housing, the second potential difference is obtained based on the potential difference between the second voltage test point and the motor housing, the first voltage test point is located at one end of the motor shaft, and the second voltage test point is located on the motor bearing at the other end of the motor shaft; if the lubricating oil flow rate of the motor bearing at the current moment is less than the preset lubricating oil flow rate, the electronic control unit increases the pump speed according to the first potential difference and the second potential difference to increase the lubricating oil flow rate sprayed on the motor bearing. As an example, as Figure 4 shown, the test point a in Figure 4 can be used as the first voltage test point, and the test point b and / or the test point c in Figure 4 can be used as the second voltage test point. Then, the potential difference between the test point a and the motor housing can be used as the first potential difference, and the potential difference between the test point b and / or the test point c and the motor housing can be used as the second potential difference. Specifically, as Figure 4As shown, due to the high rotational speed of the motor in the hybrid powertrain of new energy vehicles and the high working load of the motor bearings, special lubricating oil nozzles are designed at the motor bearing positions to ensure the lubrication of the motor bearings. Therefore, test points a, b, and c for the electrical signals of the motor rotating shaft are added in the new energy powertrain. The potential differences between test point a and the motor housing, and between test points b / c and the motor housing are collected in real time and then transmitted to the electronic control unit ECU (Electric Control Unit, abbreviated as ECU). The electronic control unit ECU determines whether to issue an instruction to increase the rotational speed of the oil pump in the current vehicle based on the received potential differences. If during the operation of the vehicle, the electronic control unit ECU detects that the motor bearing current exceeds 0.2A and then rapidly drops to 0A, that is, the decrease in the motor bearing current within a preset time period is greater than the preset threshold of 0.2A, and the current waveform does not have a cosine waveform, at this time the electronic control unit ECU will issue an instruction so that the oil pump responds to this instruction and rapidly increases its rotational speed, increasing the lubricating oil flow rate sprayed on the motor bearings, thereby increasing the lubrication of the motor bearings. If during the operation of the vehicle, the electronic control unit ECU detects that the motor bearing current exceeds 0.2A and then rapidly drops to 0A, that is, the decrease in the motor bearing current within a preset time period is greater than the preset threshold of 0.2A, and the current waveform has a cosine waveform, at this time the electronic control unit ECU may not issue an instruction and maintain the current state.

[0025] In some exemplary embodiments, the motor bearing monitoring method may further include: obtaining the real-time lubricating oil flow rate of the motor bearings after increasing the lubricating oil flow rate; comparing the current rotational speed of the oil pump with the maximum rotational speed under the condition that the real-time lubricating oil flow rate is less than the preset lubricating oil flow rate; issuing a warning prompt message through the electronic control unit under the condition that the current rotational speed of the oil pump is equal to the maximum rotational speed; wherein the warning prompt message is used to prompt that the motor bearings are damaged or to prompt to replace the lubricating oil. In addition, under the condition that the current rotational speed of the oil pump is less than the maximum rotational speed, the current rotational speed of the oil pump can be first increased to the maximum rotational speed, and then the lubricating oil flow rate sprayed on the motor bearings is increased according to the maximum rotational speed. At the same time, the real-time lubricating oil flow rate of the motor bearings after increasing the lubricating oil flow rate is obtained again and compared with the preset lubricating oil flow rate. If the real-time lubricating oil flow rate obtained by increasing the lubricating oil flow rate sprayed on the motor bearings according to the maximum rotational speed is less than the preset lubricating oil flow rate, a warning prompt message is issued through the electronic control unit. Thus, it can be known that when the electronic oil pump has lubricated at the maximum flow rate, the electronic control unit ECU still determines that there is an electro-erosion situation through the analysis of the current motor bearing signals. At this time, the electronic control unit ECU needs to issue an alarm prompt, such as issuing an alarm prompt message for prompting to replace the lubricating oil or prompting that the motor bearings are damaged to the vehicle management personnel, so as to facilitate the vehicle management personnel to carry out maintenance as soon as possible and avoid greater losses caused by the continuous operation of the hybrid box. Among them, the vehicle management personnel can be vehicle drivers or other professional maintenance personnel.

[0026] In some exemplary embodiments, the method for monitoring an electric motor bearing may further include: obtaining the lowest rotational speed of an oil pump when mechanical spark discharge current or circulating shaft current appears under the conditions of a fixed rotational speed and torque; conducting a lubricating oil flow rate test on the electric motor bearing according to the lowest rotational speed of the oil pump, and adding the corresponding test data as a reference limit value to a database set in advance or in real time, and dynamically adjusting the lubricating oil flow rate of the electric motor bearing according to the reference limit value in the database. Specifically, the lowest rotational speed of the oil pump when mechanical spark discharge current or circulating shaft current appears under the conditions of a fixed rotational speed and torque can be obtained by conducting a hardware-in-the-loop bench test. Meanwhile, when conducting a lubricating oil flow rate test on the electric motor bearing according to the lowest rotational speed of the oil pump, the corresponding test data can be obtained by conducting a hardware-in-the-loop bench test. For example, when running the actual vehicle working condition spectrum on the bench, manually control the rotational speed of the electric oil pump and control the oil pumping flow rate. Then add the corresponding test data as a reference limit value to a database set in advance or in real time, so that during the actual operation of the vehicle, the electronic control unit (ECU) dynamically adjusts the lubricating oil flow rate of the electric motor bearing according to the actual operation conditions of the whole vehicle according to the reference limit value in the database, effectively avoiding the occurrence of electro-erosion.

[0027] In summary, the present application provides a method for monitoring an electric motor bearing. By obtaining the electric motor bearing signals collected in advance or in real time, and then based on the reduction amount of the signal values and the signal waveforms of the electric motor bearing signals within a preset time period, the state of the electric motor bearing is monitored, and the lubricating oil flow rate of the electric motor bearing is dynamically adjusted according to the state monitoring result of the electric motor bearing; wherein, the electric motor bearing signals include the electric motor bearing current, and the state monitoring result of the electric motor bearing includes that the lubricating oil flow rate of the electric motor bearing at the current moment is less than the preset lubricating oil flow rate. It can be seen that this method can monitor the state of the electric motor bearing in real time according to the electric motor bearing signals, and can also dynamically adjust the lubricating oil flow rate of the oil pump according to the state monitoring result of the electric motor bearing, thereby achieving precise lubrication and protection of the electric motor bearing. Therefore, this method can dynamically adjust the lubricating oil flow rate of the oil pump, improve the lubrication efficiency of the electric motor bearing, reduce the operating power consumption of the power assembly, and at the same time can also extend the service life of the electric motor bearing. In addition, if the electric motor bearing is applied to a vehicle power assembly, this method has a positive promoting effect on the development of the vehicle industry and has important practical application value. Moreover, for the vehicle industry, this method is simple to operate, low in cost, and more practical.

[0028] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, as Figure 5 shown, this embodiment provides a system for monitoring an electric motor bearing, including: A signal acquisition module 510, configured to obtain the electric motor bearing signals collected in advance or in real time, and the electric motor bearing signals include the electric motor bearing current; The motor bearing monitoring module 520 is used to monitor the state of the motor bearing based on the signal value reduction and signal waveform of the motor bearing signal within a preset time period; wherein, the state monitoring result of the motor bearing includes that the lubricating oil flow rate of the motor bearing at the current moment is less than the preset lubricating oil flow rate. The dynamic adjustment module 530 is used to dynamically adjust the lubricating oil flow rate of the motor bearing according to the state monitoring result of the motor bearing.

[0029] It can be understood that the motor bearing monitoring system provided in the above embodiment and the motor bearing monitoring method provided in the above embodiment belong to the same concept. The specific manner of performing operations in the motor bearing monitoring method has been described in detail in the above embodiment and will not be elaborated here. In actual application, the motor bearing monitoring system provided in the above embodiment can, as needed, allocate the above functions to different functional modules, that is, divide the internal structure of the motor bearing monitoring system into different functional modules, and then implement all or part of the functions of the corresponding functional modules through the motor bearing monitoring method described in the above embodiment. For example, all or part of the functions of the acquisition module 510 can be implemented or executed through the relevant step processes of step S110, all or part of the functions of the motor bearing monitoring module 520 can be implemented or executed through the relevant step processes of step S120, and all or part of the functions of the dynamic adjustment module 530 can be implemented or executed through the relevant step processes of step S130. For the specific implementation or execution process, refer to the above embodiment and will not be specifically elaborated here.

[0030] Therefore, the present application provides a motor bearing monitoring system. The motor bearing signal is obtained in advance or in real time through the signal acquisition module, and then the motor bearing monitoring module monitors the state of the motor bearing based on the signal value reduction and signal waveform of the motor bearing signal within a preset time period. Finally, the dynamic adjustment module dynamically adjusts the lubricating oil flow rate of the motor bearing according to the state monitoring result of the motor bearing; wherein, the motor bearing signal includes the motor bearing current, and the state monitoring result of the motor bearing includes that the lubricating oil flow rate of the motor bearing at the current moment is less than the preset lubricating oil flow rate.

Therefore, this system can dynamically adjust the lubricating oil flow rate of the oil pump, improve the lubrication efficiency of the motor bearing, reduce the operating power consumption of the power assembly, and at the same time extend the service life of the motor bearing. In addition, if the motor bearing is applied to a vehicle power assembly, this system has a positive promoting effect on the development of the vehicle industry and has important practical application value. Moreover, for the vehicle industry, this system is simple to operate, low in cost, and more practical.
