Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fault simulation tests, and particularly to a test system and method for simulating bearing wear of high-speed rotating equipment. Background Art

[0002] The bearing wear test of high-speed rotating equipment is a test method for inspecting bearing wear. By monitoring parameters such as the vibration amplitude, axial clearance change, back electromotive force change, friction power consumption, and pull-in synchronization power during the test process and at the rated speed, it is possible to judge the impact of abnormal bearing wear of high-speed rotating equipment on the operating machine.

[0003] The bearing of high-speed rotating equipment has two functions: 1) a supporting function. The bearing system supports the rotating components of the special equipment, enabling it to rotate at high speed and bearing a part of the rotor weight and the axial magnetic pull of the motor. 2) Transmitting vibration. The rotor is connected to the support through the bearing system, and the vibration is transmitted to the support through the bearing system, enabling the support to attenuate the vibration of the rotor. Since high-speed rotating equipment requires high-speed and long-life operation and cannot be repaired during factory operation, the requirements for the bearings of high-speed rotating equipment are very high. Therefore, monitoring the bearing wear of the machine through a simulated bearing wear test plays an important role in assessing the machine life.

[0004] There are many existing technologies for monitoring bearing wear. Among them, measuring the wear of gas bearings is a method of measuring the vibration of the rotor by measuring the gas film existing between the bearing and the rotor and using the gas film support effect. It is difficult to effectively judge the wear of the bearing itself and can only judge the rotor stability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a test system and method for simulating bearing wear of high-speed rotating equipment to address the technical deficiencies in the existing technology.

[0009] The vacuum system includes a vacuum pump unit and a cold trap. The vacuum pump unit is used to evacuate the test environment of the system, and the cold trap is used to condense the water vapor and impurities extracted from it to prevent the oil vapor of the vacuum pump unit from diffusing back into the workbench frame;

[0013] The power supply system is used to provide an intermediate frequency power supply of 50 - 2000 Hz for the system and output the power required for the system operation.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the power supply system is also used to absorb resistance to prevent the power supply voltage from being unstable caused by the back electromotive force.

[0024] Step 5, when the number of high-speed rotating equipment with a rotational speed rising above 700s -1 is greater than half of the total number of high-speed rotating equipment, reduce the vacuum degree of the high-speed rotating equipment.

[0025] Step 6, analyze and process the signals of the speed measurement coil set at the upper end of the high-speed rotating equipment through the console and the monitoring system, and monitor the vibration amplitude, axial clearance, and back electromotive force of the equipment during the speed increase process.

[0026] Step 7, when the rotational speed of all high-speed rotating equipment rises to the rated speed, absorb resistance through the power supply system.

[0027] Step 8, when the voltage of the equipment reaches 380V, press the "Demagnetization" button on the power supply system and measure the friction power consumption of the equipment.

[0028] Step 9, turn off the power supply switch on the console. When the rotational speed of the high-speed rotating equipment with the slowest speed reduction drops to 1545s -1 , lift the "Demagnetization" key of the power supply system and turn on the power supply switch on the console to supply power to the equipment, and measure the speed increase power.

[0029] Step 10, adjust the voltage to 361V, and measure the friction power consumption and speed increase power of the equipment at this voltage according to Steps 8 - 9.

[0030] Step 11, when the rotational speed of all the equipment rises to the rated speed, adjust the equipment to the overspeed operation state through the power supply system, and all high-speed rotating equipment operates stably at the overspeed operation state for 2h.

[0031] Step 12, after the overspeed operation of the equipment ends, its rotational speed drops to the rated speed. Measure the vibration amplitude, axial clearance, back electromotive force, friction power consumption, and speed increase power of the high-speed rotating equipment at this rotational speed.

[0032] Step 13, turn off the high-speed rotating equipment on the workbench.

[0033] Step 14, based on the vibration amplitude change, axial clearance change, and back electromotive force obtained in Steps 1 - 13, infer the upper clearance value and lower clearance change situation of the high-speed rotating equipment, and determine the performance indicators of the bearings of each high-speed rotating equipment according to the friction power consumption measured at the rated speed.

[0037] In the above technical solution, in step 13, turning off the high-speed rotating equipment on the workbench includes: forcing the high-speed rotating equipment to decelerate by turning off the power supply switch of the power supply system.

[0038] In the above technical solution, forcing the high-speed rotating equipment to decelerate by turning off the power supply switch of the power supply system includes: adjusting the intermediate frequency power supply to 50 Hz, the rotational speed to "-5 s" -1 ", and automatically adjusting the voltage according to the built-in voltage-frequency curve to force the high-speed rotating equipment to decelerate.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0040] Based on the test system and method for simulating the bearing wear of a high-speed rotating equipment of the present invention, it is possible to monitor the vibration amplitude, axial clearance change, back electromotive force change, and friction power consumption of the high-speed rotating equipment during the test process and at the rated rotational speed.
