Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of on-line ferrography detection of lubricating oil, and in particular relates to an on-line ferrography detection device and a detection method for lubricating oil of a ship internal combustion engine. Background Art

[0002] Ferrography analysis technology can be used to diagnose and monitor the wear status of ship internal combustion engines during operation, thereby improving the reliability and safety of ship operation; however, the existing mature ferrography analysis technology takes samples from the lubricating oil of running ship internal combustion engines and analyzes the samples in the laboratory, so online detection cannot be achieved.

[0003] The Chinese invention patent with application number 201910250864.1 discloses an online intelligent detection iron spectrum analyzer and its detection method. The oil to be tested enters the ultrasonic oscillator through the oil inlet interface, the oil inlet flange, the oil pipeline, the two-position two-way valve and the oil outlet pipe, and is mixed with tetrachloroethylene. After the substrate is pushed to the spectrum making sleeve by the rack push plate, the magnetic field is turned on, and the mixed oil flows through the substrate to complete the spectrum making. The spectrum sheet is pushed to the camera by the rack push plate to complete the identification and storage of the iron spectrum, and then tetrachloroethylene is injected into the ultrasonic oscillator and made to flow through the spectrum making sleeve to complete the cleaning; the execution and stop of all actions are controlled by comparing the number of placed substrates and the number of cycles.

[0004] The online intelligent detection iron spectrum analyzer of this invention is essentially a fully automated implementation of the existing laboratory iron spectrum analysis process. Therefore, its structure is complex and large. In addition, the working conditions at the ship internal combustion engine are harsh, which also leads to its low reliability. It is actually not suitable for online detection at the working site of the ship internal combustion engine.

[0005] In addition, the existing online intelligent detection iron spectrum analyzer requires the use of chemical solvents during the detection process, so regular maintenance and replenishment of chemical reagents are required, and the oil sample after detection cannot be returned to the lubrication system. When the online detection frequency is high and the work is long, the actual oil sampling volume is large, and the waste oil sample after detection needs to be cleaned regularly, which increases the workload of daily maintenance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0055] The structure and working process of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0056] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings in the background technology and provide an online ferrography detection device for ship internal combustion engine lubricating oil. The online ferrography detection device collects oil samples online by using the lubricating oil return bypass, drives the movement of abrasive particles in the oil sample by using an ultrasonic phased array transducer, separates abrasive particles of different particle sizes in a wedge-shaped abrasive particle separation wedge groove, and then takes a ferrography picture of the abrasive particles; after taking the complete ferrography picture, the ultrasonic phased array transducer is used to drive the abrasive particles to separate from the wedge-shaped abrasive particle separation wedge groove, thereby completing the online ferrography automatic detection of the ship internal combustion engine lubricating oil.

[0057] The specific plan is as follows:

[0058] The on-line iron spectrum detection device for lubricating oil of a ship internal combustion engine comprises a shell, a spectrum plate component, an ultrasonic phased array transducer, and a microscopic camera module. The shell is provided with a lubricating oil detection channel, and the spectrum plate component is provided with a base block lubricating oil through hole and an abrasive particle separation wedge groove; the spectrum plate component is arranged in the shell, and the lubricating oil detection channel is connected with the base block lubricating oil through hole; the ultrasonic phased array transducer is arranged on one side of the spectrum plate component, and the microscopic camera module is arranged on the other side of the spectrum plate component; the lubricating oil enters the base block lubricating oil through hole through the lubricating oil detection channel, and the ultrasonic phased array transducer drives the abrasive particles in the lubricating oil to move to the abrasive particle separation wedge groove, and uses the wedge-shaped gap of the abrasive particle separation wedge groove to separate abrasive particles of different particle sizes; the microscopic camera module takes pictures of the separated abrasive particles, and obtains the operating conditions, wear parts and wear states of the ship diesel internal combustion engine through comprehensive analysis of the abrasive particle size, morphology and color.

[0059] Furthermore, a main lubricating oil channel is also provided in the shell, and the main lubricating oil channel is connected to the lubricating oil detection channel in parallel; when the lubricating oil flows through the main lubricating oil channel, there will be a pressure difference between the two connecting ports of the main lubricating oil channel and the lubricating oil detection channel, and the pressure difference will cause the lubricating oil to flow through the lubricating oil detection channel. The flow rate of the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil detection channel is related to the aperture ratio, length ratio and viscosity of the lubricating oil between the main lubricating oil channel and the lubricating oil detection channel. When the viscosity of the lubricating oil is constant, the flow rate of the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil detection channel can be controlled by reasonably designing the aperture ratio and length ratio of the main lubricating oil channel and the lubricating oil detection channel.

[0060] Furthermore, the spectrum sheet component includes a spectrum sheet base block and a spectrum sheet cover plate. The spectrum sheet base block and the spectrum sheet cover plate are both made of transparent quartz glass. Quartz glass has the characteristics of high hardness, which can avoid scratches caused by abrasive particles during long-term operation, thereby increasing the service life of the spectrum sheet component; a base block lubricating oil through hole is provided on the spectrum sheet base block, and a base block inclined groove surface is provided on the adjacent base block lubricating oil through hole; the spectrum sheet cover plate is arranged in contact with the spectrum sheet base block, and an abrasive particle separation wedge groove connected to the base block lubricating oil through hole is formed between the base block inclined groove surface and the spectrum sheet base block; see the attached manual Fig.18 When the abrasive particles in the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil through hole of the base block move to the abrasive particle separation wedge groove on the right side under the drive of the ultrasonic phased array transducer, since the gap of the abrasive particle separation wedge groove gradually narrows from left to right, the abrasive particles with smaller particle sizes enter the abrasive particle separation wedge groove to a deeper depth, while the abrasive particles with larger particle sizes enter the abrasive particle separation wedge groove to a shallower depth, so the abrasive particles will automatically complete separation in the abrasive particle separation wedge groove according to the particle size; in addition, when the ultrasonic phased array transducer drives the abrasive particles to move, the abrasive particles with smaller particle sizes move faster, and the abrasive particles with larger particle sizes move slower, so the abrasive particles can also be prevented from stacking in the abrasive particle separation wedge groove.

[0061] Furthermore, an electromagnet is provided on the side of the abrasive separation wedge groove of the adjacent spectrum slice assembly; when the ultrasonic phased array transducer drives the abrasive particles to enter the abrasive separation wedge groove, direct current is passed through the electromagnet to generate a magnetic field on the side of the abrasive separation wedge groove of the spectrum slice assembly, and the magnetic field accelerates the speed at which the ferrous abrasive particles move toward the abrasive separation wedge groove, thereby shortening the separation time in the abrasive separation wedge groove; in addition, after the abrasive particles are separated in the abrasive separation wedge groove, the magnetic field will also keep the separated abrasive particles in the abrasive separation wedge groove stationary, so as to facilitate the subsequent shooting of microscopic images (microscopic images are taken in a line-by-line scanning manner, and the shooting time is relatively long).

[0062] Furthermore, a fill light module is provided on the side of the microscope camera module, and the fill light module adopts wide color gamut LED lamp beads to improve the color restoration of the abrasive particles in the captured microscope pictures.

[0063] Furthermore, a solenoid valve is provided on the lubricating oil detection channel; when the abrasive particles in the lubricating oil are separated, fixed and photographed, the solenoid valve is powered off, the lubricating oil detection channel is closed, and the lubricating liquid in the lubricating oil detection channel stops flowing. The number of abrasive particles finally separated is only related to the number of abrasive particles in the lubricating oil stored in the lubricating oil detection channel. Therefore, the wear state of the ship's internal combustion engine and whether the lubricating oil needs to be replaced can also be judged based on the number of abrasive particles in the photographed pictures.

[0064] Furthermore, a transducer fixing frame is arranged around the ultrasonic phased array transducer. The transducer fixing frame is made of rubber material or polyurethane material. The elasticity of the rubber material or polyurethane material is used to eliminate the installation gap between the ultrasonic phased array transducer and the shell, and at the same time, it is prevented that the shell squeezes the ultrasonic phased array transducer and causes damage to it when the shell changes size due to temperature.

[0065] Furthermore, the microscopic camera module includes a transverse slide, a longitudinal slide, and a camera module. The transverse slide is movably connected to the shell, the longitudinal slide is movably connected to the transverse slide, and the camera module is fixedly connected to the longitudinal slide; the transverse slide and the longitudinal slide are driven by a linear motor, and the longitudinal slide drives the camera module to perform line-by-line scanning movement; in the online iron spectrum detection device of the present invention, the camera module adopts a magnification of 400 times, so its field of view is extremely small. In order to obtain a microscopic camera picture with a larger field of view, line-by-line scanning and frame-by-frame photography are adopted to obtain several microscopic camera pictures with a smaller field of view. After the shooting is completed, the several microscopic camera pictures with a smaller field of view are synthesized to finally form a complete microscopic camera picture with a larger field of view. Therefore, during the shooting process, there are high requirements for the response speed and positioning accuracy of the camera module drive; for this reason, the linear motor uses a micro-blade linear motor, which has the advantages of small size, high control accuracy and fast response speed, can reduce the volume of the online iron spectrum detection device, and improve the response speed and positioning accuracy of the microscopic picture scanning and shooting process.

[0066] Furthermore, a main control board is also provided in the online iron spectrum detection device; the ultrasonic phased array transducer, the microscopic camera module, the fill light module, the electromagnet, the solenoid valve, and the linear motor are electrically connected to the main control board; during the operation of the online iron spectrum detection device, the main control board controls the coordinated actions of the ultrasonic phased array transducer, the microscopic camera module, the fill light module, the electromagnet, the solenoid valve, and the linear motor.

[0088] A detection method of an online ferrography detection device for lubricating oil of a ship internal combustion engine comprises the following steps:

[0089] S1. Separation and fixation of abrasive particles in lubricating oil: see the attached manual Fig.21, the electromagnet 1.6 is energized to generate a magnetic field, attracting the abrasive particles in the lubricating oil to move toward the abrasive particle separation wedge groove 1.2.3; the solenoid valve 1.11 is de-energized to close the lubricating oil detection channel 1.1.4; the ultrasonic focusing generated by the ultrasonic phased array transducer 1.3 generates a linear ultrasonic focus, which scans from the base block lubricating oil through hole 1.2.1.1 to the abrasive particle separation wedge groove 1.2.3 at a set frequency of 10 Hz for 60 seconds, driving the abrasive particles in the lubricating oil to move into the abrasive particle separation wedge groove 1.2.3, The wedge-shaped gap of the abrasive separation wedge groove 1.2.3 is used to set the abrasive particles of different particle sizes at different positions in the width direction of the abrasive separation wedge groove 1.2.3; when the abrasive particles are separated in the abrasive separation wedge groove 1.2.3, the ultrasonic phased array transducer 1.3 stops working, and the electromagnet 1.6 remains energized, so that the position of the abrasive particles in the abrasive separation wedge groove 1.2.3 remains fixed; in the process of the abrasive particles in the lubricating oil driven by the ultrasonic wave moving into the abrasive separation wedge groove 1.2.3, the linear ultrasonic focus has the following characteristics:

[0090] 1. The linear ultrasonic focus generated by the ultrasonic phased array transducer 1.3 actually has a certain diameter. Therefore, when scanning the lubricating oil, what is actually driven is the abrasive particles in a certain volume of lubricating oil;

[0091] 2. During the scanning process, the distance between the linear ultrasonic focus and the inner side of the spectrum cover plate 1.2.2 is always maintained at 5-10μm;

[0092] 3. When the online ferrography detection device is installed vertically, the linear ultrasonic focus is set at an angle of 3°-8° with the vertical direction. This angle generates upward movement in the process of driving the abrasive particles to compensate for the natural downward movement of the abrasive particles in the lubricating oil due to the action of gravity.

[0093] S2. Ferrograph picture shooting: the longitudinal slide 1.4.2 drives the camera module 1.4.3 to scan line by line, and shoots the enlarged local ferrogram picture frame by frame; several enlarged local ferrogram pictures are transmitted to the monitoring center through the data acquisition device, and the monitoring center synthesizes the local ferrogram pictures to obtain a complete ferrogram picture, and completes the automatic recognition and analysis of the abrasive particle size, morphology and color in the complete ferrogram picture, and obtains the operating condition, wear location and wear status information of the ship diesel internal combustion engine.

[0094] S3. Discharge of abrasive particles in the abrasive particle separation wedge groove: the electromagnet 1.6 is powered off and the magnetic field disappears; the solenoid valve 1.11 is powered on, the lubricating oil detection channel 1.1.4 is connected, and the lubricating oil in the base block lubricating oil through hole 1.2.1.1 resumes the flowing state; the ultrasonic focusing generated by the ultrasonic phased array transducer 1.3 generates a linear ultrasonic focus (the linear ultrasonic focus is in a vertical state), and the linear ultrasonic focus scans from the side of the abrasive particle separation wedge groove 1.2.3 to the side of the base block lubricating oil through hole 1.2.1.1 at a set frequency of 10 Hz, and the scanning is continued for 100 seconds, driving the abrasive particles in the abrasive particle separation wedge groove 1.2.3 to move to the base block lubricating oil through hole 1.2.1.1, and the abrasive particles are taken away by the flowing lubricating oil.

[0095] S4, repeating steps S1-S3 with a period of 1 hour to achieve online real-time ferrography detection of lubricating oil of ship internal combustion engines.
