Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of sensors, and in particular to a method for self-checking the installation status of a sensor. The present invention also relates to a sensor for realizing self-checking the installation status. Background Art

[0002] The installation state of the sensor directly affects its monitoring effect. During the use of the sensor, the deflection of the installation direction and the loosening of the fasteners may cause the collected signal to be unusable. In response to the monitoring problem of sensor looseness, the patent document CN104819738A discloses a method for detecting the looseness of the sensor structure, which uses the set multi-order filter coefficient and the collected sensor data to calculate the convolution, and adjusts the data length to calculate the judgment threshold of the loose structure. This method is relatively cumbersome in the implementation and operation process. One is that it is necessary to set the multi-order filter coefficient, and the filter coefficients of each order directly affect the calculation result of the convolution. Therefore, it takes more time to carefully try to give the filter coefficients of each order, and it is also necessary to set it again for sensors of different working conditions and different models and specifications; the second is that the judgment threshold method of adjusting the data length to calculate the loose structure is adopted. Similarly, when it is for sensors of different working conditions and different models and specifications, it is necessary to re-set the judgment threshold. In addition, the sensor may be skewed in the direction during installation and use, which will also affect the validity of the sensor data collection, but the patent document CN104819738A fails to provide detection and solutions. Summary of the invention

[0007] Step 3, calculate the component angles α1, α2, α3 in each direction through the measured mean values ​​A1, A2, A3 in the three directions;

[0008] Step 4, respectively subtract the component angles α1, α2, and α3 from the preset angles β1, β2, and β3. When the absolute value of the difference exceeds the preset threshold, reinstall and adjust the sensor; when the absolute value of the difference is less than the preset threshold, the installation direction meets the requirements, and the measurement mean values ​​A1, A2, and A3 in the three directions are saved as compensation values ​​for subsequent data collection.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the sensor installation status self-checking method of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0037] (1) The monitored device is in a stationary state, and the sensor starts to measure and obtain data in the three directions of X, Y, and Z in a rectangular coordinate system. The average of multiple measurement values ​​in each direction is obtained to obtain the measurement averages of the three directions, namely A1, A2, and A3;

[0038] (2) Calculate the coordinate angles α1, α2, and α3 in each direction from A1, A2, and A3. The calculation formula is:

[0039]

[0040] The coordinate angles α1, α2, and α3 are respectively subtracted from the preset angles β1, β2, and β3. When the absolute value of the difference exceeds the preset threshold, the sensor needs to be reinstalled and adjusted; when the absolute value of the difference is less than the preset threshold, the installation direction meets the requirements, and the average values ​​A1, A2, and A3 are saved as compensation values ​​for subsequent data collection;

[0041] (3) When the monitored equipment is running and gradually stops, calculate the damping factor λ of the sensor installation i :

[0042]

[0043] Where t1 is the moment when the monitored equipment completes operation, and the test amplitude component of the sensor at this time is The correction value of the test amplitude component in the above formula is Among them A i is the measured value in step (1), a i is the test accuracy of the sensor in the corresponding direction, the moment when the correction value of the test amplitude component drops to k times the test accuracy is t2, where the value range of k is 3 to 10. The moment t2 when the correction value of the test amplitude component drops to k times the test accuracy is determined as follows: the moments when the sensor test value is lower than k times the test accuracy of the sensor for 5 consecutive times are t a ,t b ,t c ,t d ,t e , where t a It is identified as t2.

[0044] When the damping factor exceeds the threshold, the sensor can continue to be used normally without tightening; when the damping factor is lower than the threshold, the sensor needs to be tightened. The damping factor used to determine whether the sensor needs to be tightened can be one or more.

[0045] Preferably, to determine whether the sensor needs to be tightened, the damping factor in the Y direction or the damping factor in the Z direction or the damping factors in multiple directions may be selected for comparison with the damping factor threshold.

[0046] The following describes an embodiment including specific measurement data:

[0047] Example 1

[0048] Install the sensor with installation status self-check function on the monitored equipment, and collect sensor data when the equipment is stationary. The data results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the horizontal axis represents the number of sampling points, and the vertical axis represents the sensor test amplitude. The average of multiple measurements in each direction is 0.327, -0.013, and 9.141 in the three directions. The coordinate angles α1, α2, and α3 in each direction are calculated using the following formula:

[0049]

[0050] The calculated results of the coordinate angles are α1=87.95°, α2=89.92°, and α3=2.08°, which are respectively subtracted from the preset angles β1, β2, and β3, where β1=90°, β2=90°, and β3=0°. The preset threshold is 5°, and the absolute values ​​of the differences do not exceed the preset threshold. The installation direction meets the requirements, and the mean values ​​of 0.327, -0.013, and 9.141 are saved as compensation values ​​for subsequent data collection.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] Install the sensor with installation status self-check function on the monitored equipment, and collect sensor data when the equipment is stationary. The data results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the average values ​​of the multiple measurements in each direction are 1.273, 0.160, and 9.056 in the three directions. The coordinate angles,,, in each direction are calculated. The coordinate angle calculation results are α1 = 82.00°, α2 = 88.99°, α3 = 8.09°, which are respectively subtracted from the preset angles β1, β2, and β3, where β1 = 90°, β2 = 90°, β3 = 0°, and the preset threshold is 5°. The absolute value of the two sets of differences exceeds the preset threshold, and the installation direction does not meet the requirements. The sensor needs to be reinstalled and adjusted.

[0053] Example 3

[0054] When the monitored equipment is running and gradually stops, the sensor test results are as follows: Figure 4 Calculate the damping factor λ for the sensor installation i :

[0055]

[0056] Where t1 is the time when the monitored equipment completes operation. Figure 4 Where t1 is the sampling time of the first sampling point. At this time, the test amplitude component of the sensor in the X direction is 1.824. The correction value of the test amplitude component in the above formula is The test accuracy of the sensor in the X direction is 10 -3 Here k is 10, and the sampling points where the X-direction measurement values ​​are lower than the test accuracy of the sensor 10 times for 5 consecutive times are 24-28, that is, time t2 is the sampling time of the 24th sampling point. According to the sampling frequency of 100 Hz, it can be calculated that the difference between the sampling time of the 24th sampling point and the sampling time of the first sampling point is 0.23s, and the damping factor λ1 in the X direction is 1.72.

[0057] The damping factor threshold in the X direction is 1.2. Since λ1=1.72 exceeds 1.2, the sensor can continue to be used normally without tightening.

[0058] Example 4

[0059] When the monitored equipment is running and gradually stops, the sensor test results are as follows: Figure 5 Calculate the damping factor λ for the sensor installation i :

[0060]

[0061] Where t1 is the time when the monitored equipment completes operation. Figure 5 Where t1 is the sampling time of the first sampling point. At this time, the test amplitude component of the sensor in the Y direction is 2.971. The correction value of the test amplitude component in the above formula is The test accuracy of the sensor in the Y direction is 10 -3 Here k is 10, and the sampling points where the X-direction measurement values ​​are lower than the test accuracy of the sensor 10 times for 5 consecutive times are 103-107, that is, time t2 is the sampling time of the 103rd sampling point. According to the sampling frequency of 100 Hz, it can be calculated that the difference between the sampling time of the 45th sampling point and the sampling time of the first sampling point is 1.02 s, and the damping factor λ2 in the Y direction is 1.07.

[0062] The damping factor threshold in the Y direction is 1.2. Since λ2=1.07 is lower than 1.2, the sensor needs to be tightened.

[0063] The present invention has been described in detail above through specific implementation modes and embodiments, but these do not constitute limitations of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also make many variations and improvements, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
