Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0040] In the description of this disclosure, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first aspect of this disclosure provides a vibration frequency measuring device for a hydro-generator set, including an upper frame 1, a horizontal vibration frequency measuring mechanism, and a vertical vibration frequency measuring mechanism. The upper frame 1 is used to connect to the hydro-generator set. The horizontal vibration frequency measuring mechanism is disposed on the upper frame 1 and is used to measure the horizontal vibration frequency of the upper frame 1 to indirectly measure the horizontal vibration frequency of the hydro-generator set. The vertical vibration frequency measuring mechanism is arranged at intervals from the upper frame 1 and is used to measure the vertical vibration frequency of the upper frame 1 to indirectly measure the vertical vibration frequency of the hydro-generator set.

[0042] The vibration frequency measuring device for hydro-generator units disclosed herein can effectively obtain the direct impact of vibration frequency on hydro-generator units by measuring the horizontal and vertical vibration frequencies of the hydro-generator units, thereby accurately identifying the cause of unit vibration and providing a basis for solving unit vibration problems.

[0043] Optionally, the vertical vibration frequency measuring mechanism includes a moving trolley 2, a measuring rod 3, and a vertical displacement sensor 4. The moving trolley 2 is equipped with a position adjustment component and is used to move around the upper frame 1. The measuring rod 3 is horizontally set on the position adjustment component and is provided with a slide rail extending along the axial direction of the measuring rod 3. The vertical displacement sensor 4 is slidably set on the slide rail.

[0044] Among them, the position adjustment component can adjust the position of the measuring rod 3, and the vertical displacement sensor 4 can reciprocate along the guide direction of the slide rail.

[0045] The above-disclosed hydro-generator vibration frequency measuring device, through the combination of the moving trolley 2, the position adjustment component and the measuring rod 3, can change the position of the vertical displacement sensor 4, thereby measuring the vertical displacement at different measurement positions of the hydro-generator and obtaining the vertical vibration frequency at different measurement positions of the hydro-generator, so as to more intuitively reflect the vertical vibration of the hydro-generator under different operating conditions and at different measurement positions.

[0046] Optionally, the position adjustment component includes a telescopic shaft 5 and a cantilever beam 6. The telescopic shaft 5 is vertically mounted on the moving trolley 2. One end of the cantilever beam 6 is rotatably connected to the telescopic section of the telescopic shaft 5, and the other end is a free end. The measuring rod 3 is horizontally mounted at the free end.

[0047] Through the above technical solution, the telescopic shaft 5 can move up and down vertically on the mobile trolley 2, adjusting the overall height of the vertical vibration frequency measuring mechanism to adapt to the height of the upper frame 1, the actual factory conditions, and to change the position of the vertical displacement sensor 4 in the vertical direction. The cantilever beam 6 can change the position of the vertical displacement sensor 4 in the horizontal direction during rotation, and the free end can be adapted to the position of the measured point.

[0048] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the measuring rod 3 is movably connected to the cantilever beam 6, which can change the position of the connection point between the measuring rod 3 and the cantilever beam 6, thereby enabling the measuring rod 3 to move in the horizontal direction to adjust the position of the measuring rod 3.

[0049] Optionally, the cantilever beam 6 is perpendicular to the telescopic shaft 5, and the measuring rod 3 is perpendicular to the cantilever beam 6.

[0050] Through the above technical solution, the vertical displacement sensor 4 can move at any position in space, thereby measuring the vertical displacement at different measurement positions of the hydro-generator unit, and then obtaining the vertical vibration frequency at different measurement positions of the hydro-generator unit.

[0051] Optionally, an electromagnet 7 is provided at the bottom of the mobile trolley 2. The electromagnet 7 is used to generate electromagnetic fields after being energized, so that the mobile trolley 2 can be attracted to the metal ground.

[0052] The ground in the operating area of ​​the above-mentioned hydro-generator vibration frequency measuring equipment disclosed herein is a metal ground.

[0053] Through the above technical solution, the electromagnet 7 can generate electromagnetic fields after being energized, so as to make the mobile trolley 2 adhere to the metal ground, thereby fixing the mobile trolley 2 and providing a stable measurement environment.

[0054] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the mobile trolley 2 is equipped with wheels at its bottom, enabling it to move within the work area and adapting to various terrain conditions.

[0055] Optionally, the horizontal vibration frequency measuring mechanism includes a support plate and multiple horizontal displacement sensors 8. The support plate is horizontally mounted on the upper frame 1, and the multiple horizontal displacement sensors 8 are mounted on the support plate.

[0056] Through the above technical solution, the horizontal displacement sensor 8 can measure the horizontal displacement of the hydro-generator unit, and then obtain the horizontal vibration frequency of the hydro-generator unit, so as to more intuitively reflect the horizontal vibration of the hydro-generator unit.

[0057] Optionally, the support plate includes a first annular frame 9 and a second annular frame 10 arranged coaxially. The outer diameter of the second annular frame 10 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first annular frame 9. The first annular frame 9 and the second annular frame 10 are connected by a plurality of support arms 11. The plurality of support arms 11 are radially and evenly distributed between the first annular frame 9 and the second annular frame 10 with the axis of the second annular frame 10 as the center.

[0058] Through the above technical solution, the structure of the support plate can withstand the vibration and stress from the hydro-generator unit and provide support and protection for the horizontal displacement sensor 8.

[0059] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the number of support arms 11 is eight, and the eight support arms 11 are arranged symmetrically.

[0060] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the support plate is fixedly connected to the upper frame 1 by bolts.

[0061] Optionally, multiple horizontal displacement sensors 8 are concentrated and evenly distributed on one of the support arms 11 and / or multiple horizontal displacement sensors 8 are evenly distributed on a quarter section of the second annular frame 10.

[0062] Through the above technical solution, multiple horizontal displacement sensors 8 are concentrated and evenly distributed in a certain area of ​​the support plate, which can increase the installation density of horizontal displacement sensors 8 in a certain area of ​​the support plate and improve measurement accuracy. Compared with multiple horizontal displacement sensors 8 scattered on the support plate, multiple horizontal displacement sensors 8 are concentrated and evenly distributed in a certain area of ​​the support plate, which can reduce the number of horizontal displacement sensors 8 as much as possible while meeting the measurement accuracy requirements.

[0063] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, there are twelve horizontal displacement sensors 8, of which eight horizontal displacement sensors 8 are evenly distributed on one of the support arms 11, and the remaining four horizontal displacement sensors 8 are evenly distributed on a quarter section of the second annular frame 10 or a quarter section of the first annular frame 9.

[0064] Optionally, the vibration frequency measurement device for the hydro-generator set also includes a controller, which is communicatively connected to the vertical displacement sensor 4 and the horizontal displacement sensor 8, respectively. The controller is used to acquire the measurement data of the vertical displacement sensor 4 and the horizontal displacement sensor 8 and perform modal analysis.

[0065] Through the above technical solution, the controller can acquire the vertical displacement measurement data of the vertical displacement sensor 4 and the horizontal displacement measurement data of the horizontal displacement sensor 8 and perform modal analysis to establish horizontal and vertical vibration frequency models under different working conditions. This allows for different measures to be taken to address the impact and faults caused by the vibration of the hydro-generator unit under different working conditions, thereby reducing the harm and impact caused by the vibration of the hydro-generator unit, improving the stability of the hydro-generator unit, and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the hydro-generator unit.

[0066] A second aspect of this disclosure provides a method for measuring the vibration frequency of a hydro-generator set, using the aforementioned hydro-generator set vibration frequency measuring equipment, the method comprising:

[0067] Connect the upper frame 1 to the hydro-generator set.

[0068] The horizontal vibration frequency measuring mechanism is horizontally set on the upper frame 1 to measure the horizontal vibration frequency of the hydro-generator unit.

[0069] The vertical vibration frequency measuring mechanism is brought close to the upper frame 1 to measure the vertical vibration frequency of the hydro-generator unit.

[0070] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method for measuring the vibration frequency of this hydro-generator unit specifically includes the following steps:

[0071] Connect the upper frame 1 to the hydro-generator set.

[0072] The support plate is horizontally installed on the upper frame 1 so that the horizontal displacement sensor 8 on the support plate can measure the horizontal displacement of the hydro-generator unit.

[0073] Move the trolley 2 close to the upper frame 1, and adjust the telescopic shaft 5, cantilever beam 6 and measuring rod 3 accordingly. Slide the vertical displacement sensor 4 to measure the vertical displacement of the hydro-generator unit.

[0074] The controller acquires the vertical displacement measurement data from the vertical displacement sensor 4 and the horizontal displacement measurement data from the horizontal displacement sensor 8, and performs modal analysis to establish horizontal and vertical vibration frequency models under different working conditions.

[0075] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings.
