Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of motor diagnostic technology, and in particular to a motor health diagnostic system based on spectrum analysis. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread application of automated production, electric motors, as the power source for production, are widely used in manufacturing. Most motors used in production are three-phase asynchronous motors. The working principle of a three-phase asynchronous motor is as follows: When three-phase alternating current is applied to the stator windings, a rotating, changing magnetic field is established in the air gap of the windings. This magnetic field induces a current in the rotor. Because the rotor is in a changing magnetic field, it experiences Lorentz force, i.e., electromagnetic force, which drives the rotor to rotate.
[0003] The application of electric motors provides a stable power source for production to maintain continuous operation. Therefore, maintaining the stable operation of motors is crucial for production. Currently, motor health checks generally rely on manual inspections using testing equipment to periodically check motors and proactively eliminate faults. Common motor faults include insulation damage, insulation aging, inter-turn short circuits, phase-to-phase short circuits, or grounding faults. However, manual inspections are inefficient and struggle to detect internal motor faults in a timely manner. Therefore, a solution is urgently needed.
[0004] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of the present invention and does not represent an admission that the above content is the closest prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] See Figure 1-5 As shown:
[0027] This invention provides a motor health diagnosis system based on spectrum analysis, comprising: an information acquisition module; the information acquisition module is used to monitor the current information of the motor.
[0028] The signal transmission module is electrically connected to the information acquisition module and transmits the information acquired by the information acquisition module. The signal transmission module includes an Ethernet switch.
[0029] The information acquisition module includes a Hall sensor; the Hall sensor is used to acquire the current spectrum waveform of the current entering and exiting the motor to be monitored along the cable, and the Hall sensor has a maximum sampling frequency of 100KHz, and transmits the acquired current signal to the signal transmission module.
[0030] In actual use, the Hall sensor used is an open-type Hall sensor, installed on the cable connected to the motor being monitored. Using an open-type Hall sensor eliminates the need to disassemble the cable during installation. During installation, ensure that the arrow on the Hall sensor points in the same direction as the current flow. To ensure sufficient insulation, the Hall sensor should be installed away from exposed live connectors; the gap between the Hall sensor and the cable should be filled with insulating rubber pads; connect the Hall terminals according to the wiring definition, and after wiring, wrap the terminals and cable with high-voltage insulating tape. To ensure insulation reliability, at least three insulation layers are required; the cable should be routed along the cabinet wall, ensuring safe, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing cabling.
[0031] By using Hall effect sensors in this way, sampling accuracy is improved. Furthermore, the collected information can be transmitted via Ethernet, enhancing the convenience and stability of information transmission.
[0032] Because of the high voltage resistance of the Hall sensor, it can work normally under the condition of 17.4kV / 15min with cable withstand voltage test, thus enabling stable acquisition of the current signal of the motor under test.
[0033] Meanwhile, the Hall sensor provides non-invasive monitoring, which not only does not affect the normal operation of the monitored motor, but is also safer to use and improves the security of information collection.
[0034] Database; The database is used to store the raw data of the monitored motor. The raw data of the motor is set as the normal operating data of the motor after it leaves the factory and the operating data when several common faults occur during motor operation.
[0035] The initial database is set up in this way because each motor is different (manufacturer, commissioning time, working environment, parameter differences, etc.), making it impossible to use a uniform standard to measure the health of a motor. Therefore, the database establishes its own archive for each motor. As the amount of data accumulates, the system has more and more data to refer to for judgment, thereby making the measurement accuracy of the entire system increasingly accurate.
[0036] Data processing module; The data processing module is electrically connected to the signal transmission module and the database. It is used to receive the information amplified by the signal transmission module, analyze and process the information, extract features that can be compared with the original motor data, and provide monitoring results of motor health based on the comparison results.
[0037] The data processing module includes a back-end computer; the back-end computer is electrically connected to an Ethernet switch, and the back-end computer is equipped with online motor health monitoring software.
[0038] The online motor health monitoring software is used to extract fault features from the current spectrum waveform collected by the Hall sensor. The software also includes a mathematical mechanism model that compares the fault features with the normal operating data of the motor under monitoring and the operating data when the motor malfunctions. The software displays the comparison results of the mathematical mechanism model on the computer screen in real time.
[0039] In practical applications, a series of mathematical mechanism models can be established for common motor faults encountered in daily use. Initial motor diagnosis mainly involves comparing monitoring data with model information to derive preliminary diagnostic suggestions for the motor.
[0040] The fault feature extraction process of the motor health online detection software for the current spectrum waveform includes fundamental signal processing, Fourier transform, and spectrum correction performed sequentially.
[0041] Fundamental signal processing uses an adaptive fundamental cancellation method to cancel the fundamental signal in the current spectrum waveform signal, thus highlighting the fault characteristic signal in the current spectrum waveform signal.
[0042] The Fourier transform amplifies the fault characteristic signals in the current spectrum waveform signal through the Fourier transform.
[0043] Spectrum correction is used to refine the fault feature signals in the amplified current spectrum waveform signal at high frequencies, and extract high-precision fault feature signals.
[0044] The online motor health monitoring software calculates the vector value of the Nth harmonic of the fundamental frequency of the current spectrum waveform. This value is normalized to the vector value parameter of the standard 5th harmonic in the database. Under normal circumstances, it is a value no greater than 1. The smaller the vector value, the better the motor health status, and X = actual value / reference value.
[0045] The current spectrum waveform collected by the Hall sensor is used to reflect the spectrum envelope related to motor faults in the range of 0-400Hz. The fewer the envelope curves or the smaller the amplitude, the higher the health level of the motor being monitored.
[0046] The current spectrum waveform acquired by the Hall sensor reflects the symmetry of the three phases A, B, and C. Its amplitude is expressed as: U = 2(5*Ie) / √2H, where Ie is the vector value, H is the turns ratio of the Hall sensor, and the current / voltage ratio is the value of the current. The more uniform the three-phase amplitudes, the better the symmetry and the healthier the motor windings.
[0047] The monitoring results of motor health include determining whether the motor under monitoring is faulty, judging the current operating status trend of the motor under monitoring, and predicting the impending fault of the motor under monitoring.
[0048] In addition, the online motor health monitoring software has the following ports for displaying the operating information of the motor to be monitored:
[0049] The device list port displays all monitored motors, including motor name, current health status and health score, device data update time, and number of monitoring days. When a motor malfunctions, the fault type is pushed to the user. Clicking the motor tag will directly take you to the motor monitoring interface. The device list is arranged in a logical order of fault-potential-health.
[0050] Alarm information list port; The alarm information list port is mainly used to display new motor faults in this list. The latest alarm information is displayed for the same motor, and the remaining alarms are arranged in chronological order.
[0051] Power Health Status Portal: The power health status port displays information in a coordinate system. The horizontal axis represents the number of motors, and the vertical axis represents the motor's health score. Each dot represents a motor. Moving the mouse over the corresponding dot displays information such as the motor's name, power, and health score. Larger dots indicate higher motor power. Orange dots indicate a potential safety hazard, while red dots indicate a malfunction. Clicking a dot quickly accesses the motor monitoring interface.
[0052] Alarm device statistics port; the alarm device statistics port also displays information in the form of a coordinate system, with the horizontal axis representing the date and the vertical axis representing the number of faulty motors. When a new faulty motor is added each day, it is added according to the health status of the device. Blue indicates alarms, and pink indicates faults. Clicking on any curve will hide or show that type of device.
[0053] Maintenance and troubleshooting port; The maintenance and troubleshooting port is mainly used to initiate troubleshooting when a motor fault is detected, or when other abnormalities are found during motor inspection that need to be handled, so as to facilitate the tracking of problem handling and realize closed-loop maintenance.
[0054] Maintenance Plan Portal: The maintenance plan port is used to manage common motor tasks such as "lubrication", "bearing replacement" and "experimentation". The system presets corresponding work cycles and will notify the user to perform the corresponding work when the preset time node is reached.
[0055] In actual use, operators can view the information of the motor to be monitored in a timely manner by clicking on various ports on the online motor health monitoring software, and handle faults promptly, which is convenient and efficient.
[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
