Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of nuclear power technology, and in particular relates to a three-dimensional magnetic flux density array measurement device. Background Art

[0002] The rotating machinery of nuclear power plants is developing in the direction of large-scale, high-speed, integrated, digital and intelligent. Whether the production equipment can operate normally under trouble-free conditions is crucial to improving production efficiency and ensuring safe production. There is a rotating magnetic field in the air gap of the driving motor of the rotating equipment, which is generated by the interaction of the stator and rotor magnetic fields. However, due to manufacturing tolerances or other eccentricity faults, the air gap magnetic flux density cannot be guaranteed to be absolutely uniform. The unbalanced electromagnetic excitation force generated by this type of non-uniform air gap magnetic field will cause electromagnetic vibration of the system, posing a huge hidden danger to the safe and stable operation of the rotating equipment.

[0003] In the related technologies, a lot of information can be used for fault diagnosis and status monitoring of rotating machinery in energy equipment, mainly including temperature, noise, vibration and stress, etc. These parameters have certain limitations in the reliability of identifying fault characteristics. In addition, due to the large magnetic resistance of air, magnetic flux density sensors are usually in an invasive form, and the existing magnetic flux density measurement devices cannot adapt to the measurement environment and conditions inside the motor. Therefore, it is urgent to effectively monitor the non-uniform characteristics of the rotating machinery magnetic field in nuclear power plants. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the problems existing in the related art, a three-dimensional magnetic flux density array measuring device is provided.

[0006] Each magnetic flux density sensor unit includes a Hall element, a gold finger, and a flexible circuit board. The flexible circuit board is a double-sided circuit board. The circuit boards on both sides of the flexible circuit board are connected to each other through connecting holes to realize double-layer circuits. Signal lines, Hall elements, and gold fingers are arranged on the front of each flexible circuit board. The Hall element outputs a voltage signal by inducing changes in the magnetic field, which is transmitted to the signal output probe through the gold finger and finally to the signal acquisition instrument.

The voltage signal is transmitted to the corresponding conductive contacts in the gold fingers through the signal line, and the voltage signal is transmitted to the signal acquisition instrument through the signal output probe. The signal acquisition instrument determines the magnetic flux density signal based on the multiple voltage signals received.

[0008] In a possible implementation, the three-dimensional magnetic flux density array measurement device includes a plurality of magnetic flux density sensor units of different sizes.

[0009] In a possible implementation, the Hall element is soldered to the surface of the flexible circuit board by convection soldering, and the signal output probe should correspond to the Hall element one by one.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the power line is arranged on the back of the circuit board, and each parallel Hall element shares the same power line. The signal line is arranged on the front of the circuit board, and each Hall element is arranged with a separate signal line. The line of the back circuit board is connected to the front circuit board through the connection hole on the circuit board. Each Hall element is provided with four pins, of which one side of the diagonal pin is the power supply end, and one side of the diagonal pin is the signal end.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present disclosure are as follows: the magnetic flux density sensor unit of the three-dimensional magnetic flux density array measurement device provided by the present disclosure itself has the advantages of flexible installation, small size, low cost, and multiple measuring points, and realizes the intrusive extraction of the three-dimensional air gap magnetic flux density signal of the rotating motor, and can be placed in the stator slot without damaging the integrity of the motor core; the magnetic flux density signal collected by the sensor can effectively identify the time-space changes of the magnetic field inside the motor air gap, and accurate monitoring of the air gap eccentricity fault can be achieved by reasonably arranging the Hall elements on the sensor.

The magnetic flux density sensor array 1 includes a plurality of magnetic flux density sensor units 2 (for example, 12), each magnetic flux density sensor unit 2 includes a Hall element 3, a gold finger 4, and a flexible circuit board 5. The flexible circuit board 5 is a double-sided circuit board. The circuit boards on both sides of the flexible circuit board 5 are connected to each other through a connecting hole 8 to realize a double-layer circuit. The front side of each flexible circuit board 5 is arranged with a signal line 7, a Hall element 3, and a gold finger 4. The Hall element 3 outputs a voltage signal by inducing a change in a magnetic field, which is transmitted to the signal output probe 10 through the gold finger 4 and finally transmitted to the signal acquisition instrument 9. A power line 6 is arranged on the back side of the double-sided circuit board.

[0025] When using the device disclosed in the present invention for measurement, firstly, a plurality of sensor array units 2 are fixed in the motor stator slots respectively, and are evenly arranged around the center of the motor stator, with the side of each sensor array unit 2 with the Hall element 3 facing the rotor, and the side with the gold finger 4 being placed on the side wall of the stator slot. Then, the power is turned on, and the conductive contact corresponding to the power line 6 in the gold finger 4 is connected to power the Hall elements 3 connected in parallel on each sensor array unit 2. Then, the motor is started, and a rotating magnetic field begins to be generated in the air gap of the motor. The Hall element 3 senses the change in the magnetic field and outputs a voltage signal.

[0029] In one possible implementation, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the power line 6 is arranged on the back of the circuit board 5, and each parallel Hall element 3 shares the same power line 6. The signal line 7 is arranged on the front of the circuit board 5, and each Hall element 3 is arranged with a separate signal line 7. The line of the back circuit board is connected to the front circuit board through the connection hole 8 on the circuit board.

In this way, the magnetic flux density sensor unit realizes the integration of multiple functional elements in a smaller area through the above circuit arrangement.
