Detailed implementation manners

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and functions of the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific implementation manners.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a fault monitoring device for a marine seawater pump, including a monitoring device body, a pump body 1 and a water delivery pipe 2. The monitoring device body includes a bracket 4, a water leakage monitoring component 5, a collection component 6 and a vibration monitoring component 7. The water leakage monitoring component 5 is installed at the top of the bracket 4. The water delivery pipe 2 is fixedly installed at one end of the pump body 1, and each water delivery pipe 2 is docked and sealed through a connecting flange 3. The connecting flange 3 and the bottom of the water delivery pipe 2 are provided with a collection component 6. The middle position of the collection component 6 is partially communicated with the water leakage monitoring component 5. Positioning collar rings 20 are installed at both ends of the water delivery pipe 2. The vibration monitoring component 7 is installed at the bottom of the positioning collar ring 20. A vibration sensor 25 is filled inside the vibration monitoring component 7. One end of the vibration sensor 25 is fixed as a whole with the end of the collection component 6. This fault monitoring device for a marine seawater pump mainly monitors and processes the vibration state and leakage state of the seawater pump. During installation, first dock multiple water delivery pipes 2 through the connecting flange 3, and determine the monitoring range. Install the collection pipe 17 at the bottom of the water delivery pipe 2 according to the specific monitoring range. Support and position both ends of the collection component 6 through the positioning collar rings 20 at both ends, and install the vibration monitoring component 7 at the bottom of the positioning collar ring 20, so as to realize the vibration detection function for the part of the water delivery pipe 2 of the pump body 1 at both ends of the collection component 6. By monitoring the vibration frequency and amplitude during the operation of the pump body 1, judge the operation state of the seawater pump, and then realize the fault monitoring function. When seawater leakage occurs, the leaked seawater is centrally collected into the leakage monitoring component at the bottom through the collection component 6, and the leakage state is alarmed in time.

[0027] In this embodiment, a bottom plate 8 is installed at the bottom of the bracket 4. Support plates 9 are arranged on both sides of the top of the bottom plate 8. The water leakage monitoring component 5 is installed at the middle position between the two support plates 9. A support collar 10 is installed at the top of the support plate 9. The support collar 10 is installed at the bottom of the water delivery pipe 2, and the support collar 10 is integrally semi-circular in structure. The collection component 6 passes through the inside of the support collar 10. Specifically, this fault monitoring device is fixedly installed through the bottom plate 8, support plates 9 at the bottom and the support collar 10 at the top, and the water leakage monitoring component 5 is arranged at the middle position, which is convenient for centralized collection and discharge treatment of the leaked seawater.

[0028] In this embodiment, the water leakage monitoring component 5 includes a drain pipe 14 and a monitoring pipe 15. The drain pipe 14 is arranged at the end of the monitoring pipe 15. A valve 13 is installed on the surface of the drain pipe 14. The top of the monitoring pipe 15 is partially communicated with the collection component 6. A water level monitoring module 11 and an alarm 12 are respectively installed on the side of the monitoring pipe 15, and the monitoring probe of the water level monitoring module 11 is partially embedded into the interior of the monitoring pipe 15. The end of the drain pipe 14 is communicated with the external space. The bottom of the water leakage monitoring component 5 is communicated through the monitoring pipe 15 and the drain pipe 14. By using the flow-limiting effect of the valve 13, the triggering sensitivity of the leakage state of the entire water delivery pipe 2 can be flexibly controlled, which can avoid the phenomenon of false triggering caused by too high sensitivity or the problem that the leakage alarm cannot be triggered in time due to too low sensitivity. Specifically, after the leaked seawater is collected by the collection component 6 at the top, it is concentrated and diverted into the interior of the monitoring pipe 15. The flow rate of the discharged water is adjusted by the valve 13. Therefore, when the leakage rate of the seawater is greater than the set outflow rate, the seawater will accumulate inside the monitoring pipe 15, and the accumulated water surface will gradually rise until it reaches the water level monitoring module 11. The water level monitoring module 11 monitors the seawater inside the monitoring pipe 15, and after detecting that the water level reaches this position, the alarm 12 can send an alarm to the outside in time for timely maintenance.

[0029] In this embodiment, the collection component 6 includes a diversion pipeline 16 and a collection pipeline 17. The diversion pipeline 16 is installed at the bottom of the collection pipeline 17. Vibration monitoring components 7 are fixedly installed at both ends of the collection pipeline 17. The top of the collection pipeline 17 is in contact with the bottom of the water delivery pipe 2. Collection holes 19 are formed on the surface of the collection pipeline 17. A one-way film 29 is attached to the inner side of the collection holes 19. A through hole 30 is formed between the collection pipeline 17 and the diversion pipeline 16. The interior of the diversion pipeline 16 is partially communicated with the monitoring pipeline 15. A collection ring 22 is installed at the bottom of the connecting flange 3. An arc-shaped opening 23 is formed on the inner side of the collection ring 22. A docking pipeline 18 is arranged at the bottom of the collection ring 22. The docking pipeline 18 is communicated with the interior of the diversion pipeline 16. A leakage monitoring component 5 is installed through a bracket 4. By arranging the collection pipeline 17 and the diversion pipeline 16 along the water delivery pipe 2 of the pump body 1, the leakage monitoring process can be carried out on the water delivery pipe 2 structure within a relatively long range through a single leakage monitoring component 5, expanding the monitoring range and saving the equipment cost. Specifically, according to the layout range of the water delivery pipe 2, the collection pipeline 17 is installed at the bottom of the water delivery pipe 2 and the connecting flange 3. When leakage occurs at any position within this range, the water can flow downward along the surface of the pipeline until it contacts the surface of the collection pipeline 17, and the leaked seawater flows into the interior of the collection pipeline 17 through the collection holes 19 and enters the interior of the diversion pipeline 16 through the through hole 30, and finally enters the interior of the monitoring pipeline 15 from the diversion pipeline 16 to realize the above-mentioned water level monitoring process.

[0030] In this embodiment, the vibration monitoring component 7 includes a vibration sensor 25 and a fixing stud 26. One end of the vibration sensor 25 is provided with a support shaft 24. One end of the support shaft 24 is fixedly installed at the end of the collection pipeline 17. A docking plate 21 is installed on the side of the positioning collar 20. A card slot 27 is formed at the bottom of the positioning collar 20. The vibration sensor 25 is inserted into the interior of the card slot 27. A threaded sleeve 28 is sleeved on the surface of the fixing stud 26. The surface of the vibration sensor 25 is in fit with the interior of the card slot 27. Vibration monitoring components 7 are installed at both ends of the collection component 6. The positioning collar 20 is used to install and fix both ends of the collection component 6, and at the same time, it can also carry the vibration monitoring component 7. By virtue of the tight fit between the positioning collar 20 itself and the surface of the water delivery pipe 2, the fit degree of the vibration sensor 25 can be improved, the probability of loosening of the vibration sensor 25 after long-term use can be reduced, and the monitoring sensitivity can be increased. Specifically, the vibration monitoring component 7 is fixed on the surface of the water delivery pipe 2 through the positioning collar 20. The positioning collar 20 is in tight fit with the surface of the water delivery pipe 2 through the docking plate 21. Therefore, the vibration generated during the operation of the seawater pump will be transmitted to the vibration sensor 25 through the positioning collar 20, and then the operation state of the seawater pump is monitored through the vibration sensor 25. Moreover, there is a certain distance between the installations of the two vibration sensors 25. Therefore, by judging the degree of vibration abnormality between the two vibration sensors 25, the specific position of the fault in this fault monitoring device can be judged.

For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above-described exemplary embodiments, and without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention, the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms.

Therefore, it is intended to embrace all changes within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims in the present invention.
