Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ship power system fault detection, and in particular to a ship power system fault detection device and a detection method. Background Art

[0002] The ship's power system is a vital component of the ship. It is responsible for providing electrical energy to the entire ship's electrical equipment, including the propulsion system, navigation equipment, communication facilities, and living facilities. Existing power system fault detection generally focuses on the detection of propulsion system faults, that is, the fault detection of the main engine and the standby engine. The circuit breaker status is detected by wireless sensors to achieve fault detection. For example, patent No. CN202111035865.8 discloses a ship power system fault detection method, terminal equipment, and storage medium. The specific method is as follows: collect the switch quantity information of each circuit breaker under the fault state of the ship power system; construct the objective function, convert the fault state detection problem of each component in the ship power system into the problem of maximizing the objective function; according to the action principle of the main protection, the first backup protection and the second backup protection in the ship power system, construct the calculation formula of Dmi *(S), Dpi *(S) and Dqi *(S) determined by the fault state S of each component; update the fault state S of each component by improving the quantum genetic algorithm, and calculate the maximum value of the objective function corresponding to each fault state S, and use the fault state S corresponding to the maximum value as the fault state of each component in the ship power system, and then judge the faulty component. It is realized that when the equipment fails, the circuit breaker trips so that the system can quickly isolate the fault area and locate the fault, thereby improving the safety factor of the ship's navigation. However, the ship power system fault detection method described in the above technical scheme only locates the fault but does not determine the type of fault. Maintenance personnel still need to conduct on-site inspection before repair, which has low maintenance efficiency.

[0032] A detection method for the above-mentioned ship power system fault detection device, the specific steps are as follows:

[0033] Step S1: real-time data from wireless sensors, generator fault detection mechanisms and cathodic protection power supply box fault detection mechanisms are collected, and the central processor determines the location of the fault node through the collected data; the central processor further determines the fault type through the generator fault detection mechanism and the cathodic protection power supply box fault detection mechanism according to the location of the fault node, and the generator fault detection mechanism and the cathodic protection power supply box fault detection mechanism send the fault type to the central processor;

[0034] When a heat dissipation fault is determined according to the node position of the wireless sensor, the overheating circuit breaker is disconnected, and the faulty node is determined according to the data of the coolant level sensor, wind speed sensor, and rotation speed sensor.

[0035] When the coolant level detected by the coolant level sensor is lower than the set value, the fault node is determined to be the radiator and the fault type is insufficient coolant.

[0036] The predicted wind speed is calculated based on the data from the speed sensor. When the difference between the predicted wind speed and the actual wind speed collected by the wind speed sensor is greater than the set value, it is determined that the faulty node is the cooling fan and the fault type is that the cooling fan air outlet is blocked.

[0037] When the difference between the speed collected by the speed sensor and the set speed is greater than the set value, it is determined that the faulty node is the cooling fan and the fault type is a cooling fan fault.

[0038] The generator temperature is collected in real time. When the generator temperature continues to increase within the set time period and the growth rate is greater than the set value of the temperature rise limit, a first-level heat dissipation fault alarm is issued. When the generator temperature is higher than or equal to the set value of the maximum temperature, a second-level heat dissipation fault alarm is issued.

[0039] When an overvoltage fault is determined according to the node position of the wireless sensor, the overvoltage protection circuit breaker is disconnected; after the detection power supply is turned on, the output voltage of the generator voltage stabilizer is detected. When the voltage difference between the output voltage and the set value is greater than the set value, the faulty node is determined to be the generator voltage stabilizer, and the fault type is that the output voltage of the generator voltage stabilizer is too high. If the voltage difference between the output voltage and the set value is less than or equal to the set value, the generator voltage stabilizer is normal; the input voltage detection sensor detects the output voltage of the generator. When the voltage difference between the output voltage and the set value is greater than the set value, the faulty node is determined to be the generator, and the fault type is that the output voltage of the generator is too high; if the voltage difference between the output voltage and the set value is less than or equal to the set value, the generator is normal.

[0040] When the node position of the wireless sensor determines that it is an undervoltage fault, the undervoltage protection circuit breaker is disconnected; after the detection power supply is turned on, the output voltage of the generator voltage regulator is detected. If the voltage difference between the output voltage and the set value is less than or equal to the set value, the generator voltage regulator is normal; when the voltage difference between the output voltage and the set value is greater than the set value, the fault node is determined to be the generator voltage regulator, and the fault type is that the output voltage of the generator voltage regulator is too low. The input voltage detection sensor detects the output voltage of the generator. If the voltage difference between the output voltage and the set value is less than or equal to the set value, the generator is determined to be normal; the input voltage detection sensor detects the output voltage of the generator. If the voltage difference between the output voltage and the set value is greater than the set value, the fault node is determined to be the generator, and the electric push rod 1 is started so that the ball 4 fits the generator belt until the pressure value of the pressure sensor 2 reaches the set value, the electric push rod 1 stops extending, and at this time the stroke of the electric push rod 1 is greater than the set stroke, then the fault type is determined to be the loose generator belt, and the stroke of the electric push rod 1 is less than or equal to the set stroke, then the fault type is the generator fault and the output voltage is too low.

[0041] The current of the current sensor set at the output end of the cathodic protection power supply box is collected in real time. When the difference between the collected current and the set current is less than or equal to the set value, it is determined that the output of the cathodic protection power supply box is normal; when the difference between the collected current and the set current is greater than the set value, it is determined that the output of the cathodic protection power supply box is abnormal. After the circuit breaker in the cathodic protection power supply box is disconnected, the first module connection line is pulled out through one of the clamping cylinders 9, and the circuit breaker in the cathodic protection power supply box is closed again. The output current of the cathodic protection power supply box is collected. When the difference between the collected current and the set current is less than or equal to the set value, the first module is normal, otherwise the first module is faulty; the second module and the third module are detected in sequence in the same way.

[0042] After the detection is completed, the connecting wire of the non-faulty module is pulled out through one of the wire clamping cylinders 9 and moved to one end of the mounting track 6. The connecting wire of the faulty module is pulled out and moved to the unconnected module position through another clamping cylinder, and the connecting wire of the faulty module is inserted into the connection position of the non-faulty module. The output current of the cathodic protection power supply box is collected. When the difference between the collected current and the set current is less than or equal to the set value, it indicates that the module is normal. Otherwise, the module control circuit in the cathodic protection controller is damaged.

[0043] Step S2: The central processor sends the fault type to the terminal of the maintenance personnel, so that the maintenance personnel can check the fault node and fault type.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify or replace the technical solution of the present invention with equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
