Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of thermal power generation, and relates to a method for evaluating the influence of the inclination of the vertical condensate pump axis on vibration. Background Art
[0002] As Figure 7 shown, the condensate pumps in power plants are arranged vertically, and the motors driving the condensate pumps are located at the top of the condensate pumps. Taking the condensate pump supporting a 600MW steam turbine as an example, the pump weighs about 15t, the top motor weighs about 10t, and the total axis length is about 15 meters. A combined device of guide shoes and thrust bearing is arranged on the pump seat to bear the radial force and axial thrust of the rotor, and multiple water-lubricated rubber bearings are arranged inside the pump to bear the radial force of the rotor. Such a system has the characteristics of a slender rotating shaft and a heavy top and light bottom. If the parallelism of the base plate is incorrect, after the thrust head is installed on the shafting, the working surface is not perpendicular to the center line of the shafting, and after starting the machine, the axis will generate a conical whirling around the vertical center line. The conical whirling of the axis will cause the vibration of the unit, which is prominently manifested at the top of the motor and the bottom of the condensate pump. There are many factors affecting the vibration of the condensate pump, such as imbalance, misalignment, insufficient foundation stiffness, resonance, pipeline restriction, etc., and the axis inclination is only one of the reasons.
[0003] After the vibration fault of the condensate pump occurs, it is necessary to analyze and evaluate the influence of the axis inclination on the vibration according to the vibration characteristics. The methods adopted in the prior art mainly include: 1) Dial indicator method. In the shutdown state, a dial indicator is erected at the exposed shaft section between the motor and the thrust head, the rotor is rotated, and according to the change of the dial indicator reading, the runout at the shaft section can be measured according to the difference between the maximum and minimum readings of the dial indicator. 2) Thrust head level test method. In the shutdown state, a level is erected at the thrust head to test the level of the thrust head, and the inclination of the shaft is judged according to the level. The worse the level, the greater the inclination of the shaft. 3) Ex post facto reasoning method. During equipment maintenance, the guide shoes are opened for inspection, and the axis inclination is analyzed according to the wear conditions of the guide shoes at all levels from top to bottom. 4) Vibration fault diagnosis method. There are many factors affecting the vibration of the condensate pump, including imbalance, misalignment, insufficient foundation stiffness, resonance, pipeline restriction, axis inclination, etc. After the vibration problem occurs, according to the vibration phenomena of the unit, such as the characteristics of spectrum, waveform, phase, etc., the axis inclination is diagnosed. Or, after excluding other fault causes such as imbalance, the remaining is the axis inclination.
[0004] The shortcomings of existing methods are as follows: 1) The dial gauge method and thrust head levelness test method can only be performed in a stopped state, and the measured data only reflects the stopped state. However, the shaft tilt is significantly different in the running state compared to the stopped state. The data obtained by these two methods only shows the shaft tilt and cannot be used to assess the impact of shaft tilt on vibration in the running state. 2) The post-hoc reasoning method requires disassembling the pump and motor, and can only be used for post-hoc analysis, which cannot meet the needs of fault analysis in the running state. 3) The vibration characteristics caused by shaft tilt are very similar to those of imbalance faults, for example, the spectrum is mainly composed of power frequency components, and the waveform is approximately sine wave. Currently, it is still difficult to assess the shaft tilt state and its impact on vibration based on the measured vibration characteristics. After excluding various similar faults other than conical whirl, it can be considered that the fault is caused by shaft tilt. Therefore, vibration fault diagnosis methods require a large number of experiments, which is a huge workload. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is how to assess the impact of vertical condensate pump shaft tilt on vibration, so as to guide the work of condensate pump vibration fault diagnosis.
[0006] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A method for assessing the vibration impact of shaft inclination in a vertical condensate pump includes the following steps:
[0008] S1. Establish a calculation model for the total vibration displacement response excited by the unbalanced excitation force and the shaft tilting excitation force at the rotation frequency;
[0009] S2. Select multiple rotation frequency points, construct an identification equation set based on the motor vibration data at different rotation frequencies, and solve the equation set using the least squares method to identify the unbalanced eccentricity vector and the shaft tilt vector.
[0010] S3. Based on the identified unbalanced eccentricity vector and shaft tilt vector, the vibration variation curve during the acceleration process is calculated. The accuracy of the identification model is analyzed based on the overlap between the measured vibration variation curve during the acceleration process and the calculated vibration variation curve during the acceleration process.
[0011] S4. Evaluate the impact of shaft tilt on vibration based on the proportion of the vibration displacement response excited by the shaft tilting excitation force in the total vibration displacement response.
[0012] This invention proposes a method for assessing the vibration impact of vertical condensate pump shaft tilt. It measures the vibration influence coefficient of the excitation force at different rotation frequencies during acceleration through a counterweight test. An identification equation set is constructed from the vibration data and influence coefficients during acceleration, and then the least squares method is used to solve for the unbalanced eccentricity and shaft tilt excitation forces. The accuracy of the identification model is evaluated by comparing the back-calculated vibration during acceleration with the measured vibration during acceleration. The impact of the vertical condensate pump shaft tilt on vibration is assessed based on the identified shaft tilt excitation force and influence coefficients. Unlike traditional testing and analysis under shutdown conditions, this invention's method can be used for assessment under operating conditions, solving the problem of difficulty in assessing the vibration impact of vertical condensate pump shaft tilt during operation, and can be used to guide fault diagnosis of vertical condensate pumps.
[0013] Furthermore, the specific method for establishing the calculation model of the total vibration displacement response excited by the unbalanced excitation force and the shaft tilting excitation force at the rotational frequency in step S1 is as follows:
[0014] S11. Considering the structural characteristics of the electric motor, it is simplified into a single-degree-of-freedom system consisting of mass, springs, and dampers. The electric motor is subjected to an excitation force F from the pump shaft and the motor rotor. This excitation force F is caused by the rotor's unbalanced excitation force F. u and the excitation force F of the tilting shaft r It consists of two parts, and their calculation formulas are as follows:

[0032] The arrow above a variable indicates that the variable is a complex number;
[0033] S15, Overall vibration response Complex numbers are represented as:

The vibration displacement response is the result of the tilting excitation force of the shaft at a rotational frequency ω. These are the unbalanced eccentricity vector and the axis tilt vector, respectively.
[0036] Furthermore, the aforementioned influence coefficient The measurement method is as follows:
[0037] 1) Place vibration sensors horizontally at the top of the motor to test the vibration at the top of the motor;
[0038] 2) Start the motor to its rated speed, and use a vibration sensor to test the vibration of the motor at its rated speed. Record the vibration amplitude and phase as A0 and A1, respectively. In complex form:
