Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to automated detection technology, and more particularly to a method and system for detecting lubricating oil in locomotives. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the fuel filter, lubricating oil filter, and lubricating oil of the GK1C locomotive diesel engine are replaced based on usage time and mileage. However, the lack of real-time data and supporting technical parameters for oil quality (viscosity, moisture, flash point, insoluble matter) easily leads to waste of lubricating oil and filters, increasing maintenance costs. The existing GK1C locomotive diesel engine cooling water temperature, fuel pressure, and lubricating oil temperature and pressure are simply detected by sensors in the positive pressure section of the oil and water pipelines and displayed visually on the control panel. When abnormalities occur in the lubrication system, such as cooling water temperature, oil temperature, oil pressure, or oil quality (viscosity, moisture, flash point, insoluble matter), causing the diesel engine to unload or stop, the driver and maintenance personnel cannot quickly and accurately determine the cause of the fault in the water system, fuel system, or lubricating oil system, increasing troubleshooting time and affecting production.

[0063] Example 1

[0064] This embodiment proposes a method for detecting locomotive lubricating oil, including:

[0070] Acquire lubricating oil pressure sensor data for the first turbocharger and the second turbocharger;

[0071] If the pressure sensor data of the second booster compressor lubricating oil is greater than the value of the pressure sensor data of the first filter booster compressor lubricating oil, and the value is greater than the second threshold, then abnormal information of the booster compressor lubricating oil will be generated and stored.

[0072] If the lubricating oil pressure sensor data of the second turbocharger is less than the third threshold, a diesel engine unloading protection control command will be generated.

[0073] If the lubricating oil pressure sensor data of the second turbocharger is less than the fourth threshold, a diesel engine shutdown protection control command will be generated.

[0076] If the third water temperature sensor data is greater than the third temperature threshold, a power unloading protection control command is generated.

[0077] Acquire the fourth and fifth water temperature sensor data. If the value of the fourth water temperature sensor data is greater than that of the fifth water temperature sensor data and is greater than the fourth temperature threshold, then generate and store intercooler anomaly information.

[0078] In this embodiment, the first fuel pressure sensing data and the second fuel pressure sensing data are set to represent the fuel filter inlet pressure and the fuel filter outlet pressure, respectively.

[0079] By comparing the data from the first fuel pressure sensor with the data from the second fuel pressure sensor, it can be determined whether there is an abnormality in the fuel filter. The abnormality may include blockage of the fuel coarse filter or the fuel fine filter.

[0080] In this embodiment, oil parameter monitoring sensor data is set to represent the state parameters of the lubricating oil. The state parameters can include a variety of types, and the specific type of the state parameters can be set according to requirements.

[0081] Among them, the oil change index is set as the standard data value corresponding to the state parameter. The oil change index can be determined by experience or calibration test.

[0082] By comparing oil parameter monitoring sensor data and oil change indicators, it can be determined whether the condition of the lubricating oil is abnormal. When the lubricating oil is abnormal, it should be replaced. Abnormalities may include excessive water, excessive insoluble matter, etc.

[0083] In this embodiment, the lubricating oil temperature sensing data is used to represent the temperature of the lubricating oil, and real-time monitoring of the lubricating oil temperature can be achieved based on the lubricating oil temperature sensing data.

[0084] In this embodiment, the lubricating oil pressure sensing data of the first filter and the lubricating oil pressure sensing data of the second filter are used to represent the oil inlet pressure and oil outlet pressure of the oil filter, respectively.

[0085] By comparing the lubricating oil pressure sensor data of the first filter with that of the second filter, it can be determined whether there is an abnormality in the oil filter. The abnormality may include blockage of the oil filter.

[0086] In this embodiment, the first turbocharger lubricating oil pressure sensing data and the second turbocharger lubricating oil pressure sensing data are used to represent the oil inlet pressure of the turbocharger oil filter and the oil outlet pressure of the turbocharger oil filter, respectively.

[0087] By comparing the lubricating oil pressure sensor data of the first turbocharger with that of the second turbocharger, it can be determined whether there is an abnormality in the oil filter. The abnormality may include blockage of the oil filter.

[0088] In this embodiment, the diesel engine unloading protection control command is used to control the diesel engine speed to be below a specified speed threshold. The relevant third threshold and speed threshold can be determined through experience or calibration tests.

[0089] In this embodiment, the diesel engine shutdown protection control command is used to control the diesel engine to shut down, wherein the relevant fourth threshold is determined through experience or calibration test.

[0090] In this embodiment, the first water temperature sensing data and the second water temperature sensing data are used to represent the inlet temperature of the high-temperature water pump and the outlet temperature of the high-temperature water pump, respectively.

[0091] By comparing the data from the first water temperature sensor with the data from the second water temperature sensor, it can be determined whether the high-temperature water pump is faulty. The fault may include abnormal heat dissipation of the high-temperature water pump.

[0092] In this embodiment, the third water temperature sensor data is used to represent the water outlet temperature of the diesel engine. By comparing the third water temperature sensor data with the second temperature threshold, it can be determined whether there is a fault in the diesel engine water cooling circulation system.

[0093] In this embodiment, when the third water temperature sensor data (corresponding value) is greater than the third temperature threshold, a power unloading protection control command is generated. This command is used to control the speed of the diesel locomotive to be below a specified speed threshold. The relevant third temperature threshold and speed threshold can be determined through experience or calibration tests.

[0094] In this embodiment, the fourth water temperature sensing data and the fifth water temperature sensing data are used to represent the temperature at the inlet and outlet of the intercooled water pump, respectively.

[0095] By comparing the data from the fourth and fifth water temperature sensors, it can be determined whether the intercooler water pump is malfunctioning.

[0096] In this embodiment, if one or more of the following are generated: abnormal fuel pressure, abnormal oil quality, abnormal filter lubricating oil, abnormal lubricating oil temperature sensor data, abnormal turbocharger lubricating oil, abnormal water pump, abnormal water temperature, and abnormal intercooler, the corresponding abnormal information is stored simultaneously to facilitate the analysis of the causes of the abnormalities during maintenance.

[0097] This embodiment proposes a method for detecting lubricating oil in locomotives. In this method, the following data are simultaneously collected, analyzed, and processed: first fuel pressure sensor data, second fuel pressure sensor data, oil parameter monitoring sensor data, first filter lubricating oil pressure sensor data, second filter lubricating oil pressure sensor data, first turbocharger lubricating oil pressure sensor data, second turbocharger lubricating oil pressure sensor data, first water temperature sensor data, second water temperature sensor data, third water temperature sensor data, fourth water temperature sensor data, and fifth water temperature sensor data.

[0098] Fuel pressure can be determined based on the first fuel pressure sensor data and the second fuel pressure sensor data; lubricating oil temperature, lubricating oil pressure, and lubricating oil properties (viscosity, water content, flash point, and insoluble matter) can be determined based on the oil parameter monitoring sensor data; and coolant temperature can be determined based on the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth water temperature sensor data.

[0099] Based on the above data, when the locomotive diesel engine cooling water temperature is higher or lower than the standard value, or the lubricating oil pressure is lower than the standard parameter value, after comparing with the preset original (baseline) data, if the data is abnormal, a corresponding alarm can be generated and stored, as well as a shutdown, speed reduction, and unloading signal for the diesel engine can be generated, so as to realize effective monitoring of the diesel engine auxiliary system and protection control of the diesel engine.

[0100] When the locomotive diesel engine is in or has an unloading or shutdown fault, the real-time data of the diesel engine auxiliary system can be analyzed and stored, and maintenance personnel can make effective maintenance and repairs based on the retrieved data.

[0101] Based on the aforementioned solution, in one possible implementation, it further includes determining whether the lubricating oil pressure sensing data of the first filter is within a first numerical range;

[0102] If the lubricating oil pressure sensing data of the first filter is within the first value range, and the lubricating oil pressure sensing data of the second filter is greater than the value of the lubricating oil pressure sensing data of the first filter by a value greater than the first threshold, then filter lubricating oil abnormal information is generated and stored.

[0103] In this solution, whether the first filter lubricating oil pressure sensor is in the first value range is used as a prerequisite for determining whether there is an abnormality in the oil filter. This ensures that the obtained first filter lubricating oil pressure sensor data and second filter lubricating oil pressure sensor data correspond to the data when the (diesel engine) system is working stably, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the generated filter lubricating oil abnormality information.

[0104] Furthermore, when it is necessary to determine whether the lubricating oil pressure sensor data of the first filter is within the first value range, the first value range is set to 250-600 KP.

[0105] Based on any of the aforementioned schemes, in one possible implementation scheme, it further includes determining whether the lubricating oil pressure sensing data of the first booster compressor is within the second numerical range;

[0106] If the pressure sensor data of the first turbocharger lubricating oil is within the second value range, and the pressure sensor data of the second turbocharger lubricating oil is greater than the pressure sensor data of the first filter turbocharger lubricating oil, and the value is greater than the second threshold, then abnormal information of the turbocharger lubricating oil is generated and stored.

[0107] In this solution, whether the first turbocharger lubricating oil pressure sensor data is within the second value range is used as a prerequisite for determining whether the oil filter is abnormal. This ensures that the obtained first turbocharger lubricating oil pressure sensor data and second turbocharger lubricating oil pressure sensor data correspond to the data when the (diesel engine) system is operating stably, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the generated turbocharger lubricating oil abnormality information.

[0108] Furthermore, when it is necessary to determine whether the lubricating oil pressure sensor data of the first booster is within the second value range, the second value range is set to 250-400 KP.

[0109] Based on any of the aforementioned schemes, in one feasible implementation scheme, the oil parameter monitoring sensor data includes viscosity values, moisture values, flash point values, and insoluble matter values.

[0110] For example, in this solution, the oil change indicators are set as follows: viscosity (100°C centistokes): 18; moisture (%): >0.1; flash point (°C): >180; insoluble matter (V%): >11.6.

[0111] For example, in this solution, the comparison results of oil parameter monitoring sensor data and oil change indicators can be used in the following manner:

[0112] When the viscosity is >18 centistokes, based on the oil viscosity, the equipment inspector can determine that the viscosity has increased due to oxidation and accumulation of insoluble suspended matter, or that the abnormal result is caused by poor diesel atomization under oil-rich combustion conditions. Based on the judgment, the maintenance personnel will replace the diesel engine oil and find the fault point.

[0113] When the moisture content (%) is >0.1, based on the moisture value in the lubricating oil in the oil tank, the equipment inspector can determine that the excessive moisture is caused by a leak. The maintenance personnel can then find the fault point while changing the diesel engine oil based on the data indicators.

[0114] When the flash point (°C) is <180, the flash point can be used as a reference value along with the viscosity to infer the oil dilution and comprehensively evaluate whether to change the lubricating oil.

[0115] When the insoluble matter (V%) is >11.6, this index is a useful data for predicting changes in engine oil oxidation and estimating the effect of additives. Equipment inspectors can use this value to determine whether the insoluble matter content has decreased significantly due to excessive oil replenishment (to maintain the effectiveness of additive dispersion). Maintenance personnel can then use this information to find the problem that caused the excessive oil replenishment.

[0116] In this solution, based on oil parameter monitoring sensor data, the viscosity, moisture, flash point, and insoluble matter of the lubricating oil can be monitored in real time. Maintenance personnel can make accurate oil changes based on the measured data, avoiding damage to the lubrication system and diesel engine due to oil quality, which reduces maintenance costs and improves the efficiency of troubleshooting.

[0117] Based on any of the aforementioned schemes, in one feasible implementation, the first threshold can be 100KP;

[0118] If the pressure corresponding to the lubricating oil pressure sensor data of the first filter is between 250-600KP, and the pressure corresponding to the lubricating oil pressure sensor data of the second filter is 100KP greater than the value between 250-600KP, it is determined that the oil filter is clogged. At this time, an abnormal information for the lubricating oil of the filter is generated.

[0119] At the same time, it stores abnormal information about filter lubricating oil. Drivers can submit a repair request based on this information, and maintenance personnel can export the abnormal information for analysis and develop a repair plan.

[0120] Based on any of the aforementioned schemes, in one feasible implementation, the second threshold can be 100KP;

[0121] When the pressure corresponding to the first turbocharger lubricating oil pressure sensor data is between 250KP and 400KP, and the pressure corresponding to the second turbocharger lubricating oil pressure sensor data is 100KP higher than the value between 250KP and 400KP, it is determined that the (turbocharger) oil filter is clogged. At this time, a turbocharger lubricating oil abnormality information is generated.

[0122] At the same time, it stores abnormal information about the turbocharger's lubricating oil. The driver can submit a repair request based on this abnormal information. The above data will be automatically memorized and stored. Maintenance personnel can export the abnormal information for analysis and then make a repair plan.

[0123] Based on any of the aforementioned schemes, in one possible implementation scheme, the third threshold is set to 160KP and the fourth threshold is set to 80KP.

[0124] The diesel engine can only operate at speeds above 750 r / min when the pressure corresponding to the lubricating oil pressure sensor data of the second turbocharger is greater than 160 kP.

[0125] If the pressure corresponding to the lubricating oil pressure sensor data of the second turbocharger is less than 160KP, a diesel engine unloading protection control command will be generated. At this time, the diesel engine speed can only be controlled below 750r / min.

[0126] The diesel engine can only ignite and run normally when the pressure corresponding to the lubricating oil pressure sensor data of the second turbocharger is greater than 80 kPa.

[0127] For example, when the pressure corresponding to the lubricating oil pressure sensor data of the second turbocharger is less than 80KP, a diesel engine shutdown protection control command is generated to control the diesel engine shutdown protection.

[0128] The above data will be automatically stored and analyzed by maintenance personnel to develop appropriate maintenance plans.

[0129] Based on any of the aforementioned solutions, in one feasible implementation, it also includes obtaining the basic performance indicators of various components in the cooling water system;

[0130] Basic parameters include: high-temperature water pump side system temperature at 65℃, and intermediate cooling water system temperature at 55℃. Abnormal water temperatures: 85℃ and 90℃.

[0131] Based on any of the aforementioned schemes, in one possible implementation scheme, the first temperature threshold is set to 15℃-20℃;

[0132] When the water temperature corresponding to the first water temperature sensor data is 65℃, and the water temperature corresponding to the second water temperature sensor data is 15℃-20℃ higher than 65℃, the high temperature water pump is determined to be faulty, and abnormal water pump information is generated and stored.

[0133] At the same time, it stores abnormal information about the water pump. The above data will be automatically memorized and stored, and maintenance personnel can export the abnormal information for analysis and make maintenance plans.

[0134] Based on any of the aforementioned schemes, in one possible implementation scheme, the second temperature threshold is set to 85°C and the third temperature threshold is set to 90°C.

[0135] When the water temperature corresponding to the third water temperature sensor data reaches 85℃, it is determined that the water temperature is high. At this time, water temperature abnormality information is generated and stored.

[0136] Drivers can submit a ticket for repair based on the abnormal information, and maintenance personnel can export the abnormal data for analysis and then make a repair plan.

[0137] When the water temperature corresponding to the third water temperature sensor data reaches 90℃, a power unloading protection control command is generated to control the locomotive power unloading protection.

[0138] The above data will be automatically stored and analyzed by maintenance personnel to develop appropriate maintenance plans.
