[0050] Each diagnostic intelligent terminal is only connected to the adjacent diagnostic intelligent terminal and realizes interaction and cooperation with all diagnostic intelligent terminals through bridge communication. As Figure 3 shown, it is suitable for wired networking;

[0051] Each diagnostic intelligent terminal includes a signal acquisition module, a signal processing module, a communication module for enabling communication between diagnostic intelligent terminals, and a fusion calculation and analysis module. The signal acquisition module includes at least one vibration sensor, a temperature sensor, and an acoustic emission sensor for collecting vibration signals of the device;

[0052] The signal processing of the signal processing module includes performing time-domain and frequency-domain conversions on at least one or more of the acceleration, velocity, and displacement of the vibration signal, and being able to calculate and output vibration characteristic values such as RMS, kurtosis, and pulse value;

[0070] Step 4: The vibration digital signals collected by the signal acquisition module pass through the signal processing module with the STM32 single-chip microcomputer as the core;

[0071] Step 5: Fourier transform calculations are performed on the accelerations in the X, Y, and Z directions of the three-axis acceleration vibration sensor, and information such as the vibration time domain, frequency domain, velocity, velocity RMS, inverse frequency, kurtosis, and impulse in the X, Y, and Z directions are output to the fusion calculation and analysis module;

[0072] Step 6: After the initial installation is completed, the fusion calculation and analysis module performs 72 hours of adaptive learning on signals such as vibration, temperature, and acoustic waves to calculate the time-amplitude curve data of the temperature, acoustic waves, vibration velocity, etc. at the monitoring positions ①~⑤ of the diagnostic intelligent terminal under the normal working state of the steam turbine generator set and saves them as the reference curve for good working conditions;

[0073] Step 7: After the learning is completed, the system will balance the computing resources according to the self-learning results, and use the diagnostic intelligent terminal with the smallest resource occupancy among the above 5 diagnostic intelligent terminals as the virtual host. After the virtual host is generated, the system automatically enters the normal health diagnosis and detection stage;

[0074] Step 8.1: When any value of the vibration velocity RMS, temperature, or acoustic wave at a certain monitoring point reaches the shutdown alarm threshold, the corresponding terminal issues a shutdown alarm;

[0075] Step 8.2: When a certain vibration signal is in an abnormal state or in a mutation state, the temperature, acoustic wave, deviation from the good working condition reference curve, kurtosis, impulse, etc. data of this point and adjacent points will be fused for calculation and analysis, and attention alarm, abnormal alarm, or shutdown alarm signals will be issued according to the calculation results. Further, the causes of equipment faults such as dynamic unbalance, misalignment, and gear damage will be prompted through frequency multiplication and inverse frequency analysis;

[0076] Step 9: In Step 8.1 or Step 8.2, the time series and intensity cross-correlation calculations of the vibration signals at points ①~⑤ are performed to determine the specific position of the fault source among the monitoring points ①~⑤, which helps to quickly determine the accurate location of the fault;

[0077] Step 10: The virtual host transmits the deterioration curves of each monitoring point to the mobile phone or other terminals, providing a decision-making reference for the user's predictive maintenance or targeted preventive maintenance of the generator set.

[0078] In this embodiment, the user can also manually adjust the criteria such as the threshold value preset for diagnosis through the mobile phone APP or other terminals.

[0079] In this embodiment, when each component of the steam turbine is in the adaptive learning stage, in the case that the original moving parts have not passed the running-in period or new application parts are repaired and replaced, each diagnosis will automatically and real-time update the reference curve of each point for good working conditions according to the results of continuous re-learning.

The product independently completes multi-dimensional information perception, data processing, fusion judgment, AI self-adaptation and other multi-layer target tasks. The intelligent agent products can automatically handshake and cooperate to complete complex tasks. The user does not need to perform front-end development, and the development complexity and workload of the solution provider are greatly reduced. For the addition or withdrawal of business nodes, the increase, decrease and adjustment of local logic functions do not require rewriting the system software. In view of the characteristics of large uncertainty in the functions and logics of the factory IOT micro-points, it supports taking the manufacturing team as the main body, starting from the pain points at the field bottom layer, and meeting the actual intelligent needs point by point, meeting the differentiated, fragmented and continuously developing system integration needs of the workshop intelligent scenarios.
