Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of eddy current sensor adjustment, and specifically relates to an adjustment method and an adjustment system for an eddy current sensor. Background Art

[0002] As a non-contact high-precision sensor, the eddy current sensor has a wide range of applications in many fields such as industrial production, mechanical manufacturing, and aerospace. For example, it plays a key role in the measurement of shaft vibration and displacement of rotating machinery, the detection of metal sheet thickness, and material identification.

[0003] In actual application scenarios, the measured objects have the characteristics of diversity and complexity. Different measured objects have significant differences in physical properties, motion states, working environments, etc. For example, when measuring rotating shafts with different speeds, factors such as the rotation frequency of the shaft, surface material, and dimensional specifications will all affect the measurement accuracy of the eddy current sensor. Moreover, even for the same type of measured object, under different working conditions, such as temperature changes and electromagnetic interference environments, its influence on the sensor measurement is also different.

[0004] When traditional eddy current sensors are installed and used, fixed parameter settings are often adopted, such as fixed gain and measurement frequency. This fixed parameter setting is difficult to adapt to various complex and changeable measured objects and working conditions. When facing measured objects with different characteristics, due to unreasonable gain settings of the sensor, the output signal may be too weak or too strong, unable to accurately reflect the true state of the measured object; and when the measurement frequency does not match the motion frequency of the measured object, it will cause distortion of measurement data, increased errors, and even measurement failure. For example, when measuring a rotating shaft part at high speed, if the measurement frequency of the sensor is too low, according to the sampling theorem, the real-time state information of the shaft cannot be accurately obtained, resulting in serious deviation of the measurement result and unable to meet the requirements of high-precision measurement in industrial production.

Brief Description of the Drawings

[0057] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the drawings.

[0058] Figure 1 It is a system block diagram of an adjustment system for an eddy current sensor of the present invention.

[0059] Figure 2 It is a schematic flowchart of an adjustment method for an eddy current sensor of the present invention. Detailed Embodiments

[0060] Next, in combination with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0061] Embodiment 1

[0062] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the present invention is a method for adjusting an eddy current sensor, including the following steps:

[0063] Step 1. Data acquisition

[0064] First, construct a stable and reliable connection link, closely connect the eddy current sensor with a professional data acquisition device to ensure the stability and accuracy of signal transmission;

[0065] Subsequently, officially start the eddy current sensor to make it enter the working state, and accurately measure the pre-selected measured object;

[0066] During this process, use the data acquisition device to collect the output signal sequence of the eddy current sensor in the initial set state, and denote it as {S i}, i = 1, 2,..., n, where n is the pre-set number of acquisition sample points; S i represents the output signal value corresponding to the i-th sample point in the time series;

[0067] At the same time, through the standard parameter acquisition channels related to the measured object, accurately obtain the known standard parameter values of the measured object, and denote them as P j , j = 1, 2,..., m, where m is the number of standard parameters of different attributes corresponding to the eddy current sensor;

[0068] In this embodiment, taking the measurement of shaft parts as an example, when j = 1, P j represents the standard diameter value of the shaft, and this value is crucial for calculating the distance relationship between the sensor and the shaft surface in the subsequent calculation; when j = 2, P j is the standard rotational speed value of the shaft, and its matching adjustment with the sensor measurement frequency is closely related, etc. These known standard parameter values provide an indispensable reference basis for the subsequent precise adjustment calculation;

[0069] Step 2. Feature extraction

[0070] StepA1. Extraction of the mean feature of the output signal:

[0071] Calculate the output signal sequence {S i}mean;

[0072] The calculation formula is: ;

[0073] Where Sp represents the output signal sequence {S i}mean;

[0074] In this embodiment, the mean value can reflect the average amplitude of the signal sequence at the overall level and is an important indicator for measuring the central tendency of the signal;

[0075] For example, in the vibration measurement of shaft parts, if the mean value changes significantly, it may indicate that the overall operating state of the shaft is abnormal or that the initial gain setting of the sensor is unreasonable;

[0076] StepA2: Output signal standard deviation feature extraction:

[0077] Calculate the output signal sequence {S i}Standard deviation;

[0078] The calculation formula is: ;

[0079] Where Sb represents the output signal sequence {S i}Standard deviation;

[0080] In this embodiment, the standard deviation is used to characterize the degree of dispersion of the signal sequence relative to the mean. The larger the standard deviation, the more drastic the fluctuation amplitude of the signal, which may be due to unstable vibration of the measured object or the existence of external interference factors. In eddy current sensor measurement, the standard deviation can help determine the stability of the measurement environment and the sensitivity of the sensor to small changes.

[0081] StepA3: Output signal peak feature extraction:

[0082] From the output signal sequence {S i} extract the peak value of the output signal;

[0083] The calculation formula is: ;

[0084] Where Smax represents the output signal sequence {S i}The peak value of the output signal;

[0085] In this embodiment, the peak value represents the maximum amplitude value in the signal sequence;

[0086] For example, in the displacement measurement of shaft parts, the peak value may correspond to the maximum displacement position of the shaft. By comparing with the stroke range of the shaft in the standard parameters, etc., it can be preliminarily judged whether the measurement range of the sensor is appropriate and whether the gain needs to be adjusted;

[0087] Step Three: Parameter Analysis

[0088] Calculate the gain adjustment coefficient based on the multiple eigenvalue features extracted and the known standard parameter values;

[0089] The specific method is as follows:

[0090] By: ;

[0091] Calculate the gain adjustment coefficient G corresponding to different attributes of the eddy current sensor j ;

[0092] In this embodiment, when the value of j is 1, The ratio of is understood to adjust the gain according to the relationship between the standard shaft diameter and the peak value of the actual measurement signal, so that the sensor can measure the size of the shaft more accurately; The ratio of further considers the relationship between the signal dispersion degree and the average level, and comprehensively optimizes the gain setting;

[0093] For example, if is larger, it indicates that the actual measurement signal is relatively smaller than the signal corresponding to the standard shaft diameter, and the gain may need to be increased; while if is larger, it means that the signal fluctuates greatly, and the gain may need to be adjusted appropriately to balance the signal stability and sensitivity.

[0094] Step Four: Adjustment Execution

[0095] Send the calculated gain adjustment coefficient G j to the control center of the eddy current sensor, and then the control center performs adjustment execution on the sensor;

[0096] The specific method is as follows:

[0097] The control center adjusts the gain of the corresponding attribute of the sensor according to the gain adjustment coefficient, and the adjustment formula is: ;

[0098] In the formula, G old,j is the current gain value of the corresponding attribute of the sensor, and G new,j is the adjusted gain value;

[0099] In this embodiment, in this way, the gain of the sensor can be accurately adjusted according to the gain adjustment coefficient calculated previously, so that it can adapt to the characteristics of the measured object and the requirements of the measurement environment.

[0100] In this embodiment, by collecting the output signal of the eddy current sensor in the initial set state and combining it with the standard parameter values of the object to be measured, multi-dimensional feature extraction and gain adjustment coefficient calculation are carried out. Subsequently, according to the calculation results, the gain of the corresponding attributes of the sensor is adjusted, which can make the sensor better adapt to the characteristics of the object to be measured, reduce the measurement error caused by unreasonable initial settings and other factors, and improve the measurement accuracy. For example, in different measurement scenarios of shaft parts, the gain can be optimized based on relevant features to ensure the measurement accuracy; the extraction of eigenvalue such as the mean value, standard deviation, and peak value of the output signal not only serves the gain adjustment, but also can reflect some situations in the measurement process. For example, the change in the mean value can imply the operating state of the shaft or the problem of the sensor gain setting, and the standard deviation can reflect the stability of the measurement environment and the sensitivity of the sensor, which helps to detect potential problems in time and conduct targeted processing.

[0101] Embodiment Two

[0102] As Embodiment Two of the present invention, in the specific implementation of this application, compared with Embodiment One, the difference between the technical solution of this embodiment and that of Embodiment One is only that in this embodiment,

[0103] the feature extraction step further includes the extraction of the output signal frequency feature:

[0104] First, perform a fast Fourier transform on the output signal sequence {S i}, to obtain the spectrum of the output signal, and denote it as {F t}, where t = 1, 2,... k, and k is the number of frequency points of the spectrum;

[0105] Subsequently, take the frequency corresponding to the maximum amplitude in the spectrum as the main frequency feature of the output signal, and denote it as Fmax;

[0106] In this embodiment, in the rotational measurement of shaft parts, there is a close relationship between Fmax and the rotational frequency of the shaft. If the two do not match, it may lead to inaccurate measurement data. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the measurement frequency of the sensor according to information such as the rotational speed of the shaft in the standard parameters;

[0107] The parameter analysis step also calculates the frequency adjustment coefficient according to the main frequency feature value extracted by the feature extraction;

[0108] The specific method is as follows:

[0109] By: ;

[0110] calculate the frequency adjustment coefficient FC of the eddy current sensor;

[0111] In the formula, F0 is the ideal measurement frequency pre-calculated according to the standard parameters of the object to be measured;

[0112] In this embodiment, for the rotational measurement of shaft parts, F0 is closely related to the rotational speeds of the F0 and Fmax axes and the sampling theorem required for measurement;

[0113] For example, according to the sampling theorem, the sampling frequency should be at least twice the highest frequency of the measured signal. In the rotational measurement of a shaft, F0 can be calculated based on the rotational speed of the shaft. If F0 does not match, the measurement frequency of the sensor is adjusted through a frequency adjustment coefficient to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the measurement data;

[0114] The adjustment execution is also used to send the calculated frequency adjustment coefficient FC to the control center of the eddy current sensor, and then the control center performs adjustment execution on the sensor;

[0115] The specific method is as follows:

[0116] The control center adjusts the measurement frequency of the sensor according to the frequency adjustment coefficient, and the adjustment formula is: ;

[0117] In the formula, F old is the current measurement frequency of the sensor, and F new is the adjusted measurement frequency;

[0118] In this embodiment, this can ensure that the measurement frequency of the sensor matches the actual motion frequency or characteristic frequency of the measured object, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the measurement.

[0119] This embodiment adds an output signal frequency feature extraction and corresponding frequency adjustment coefficient calculation and execution link on the basis of Embodiment 1. In scenarios such as the rotational measurement of shaft parts, according to the comparison between standard parameters such as the rotational speed of the shaft and the frequency characteristics actually measured, the measurement frequency of the sensor can be accurately adjusted through the frequency adjustment coefficient to ensure that it matches the actual motion frequency of the measured object, thereby further improving the accuracy and integrity of the measurement data. Especially for measured objects with rotational characteristics, adjusting considering frequency factors enables the sensor to better adapt to the measurement requirements of such objects and expands the applicability of the sensor in different types of measurement scenarios.

[0130] A parameter calculation module, whose main task is to accurately calculate the gain adjustment coefficient and the frequency adjustment coefficient according to the rich characteristic values transmitted by the feature extraction module and the known standard parameter values, in accordance with the established, scientific and reasonable parameter calculation algorithm formula;

[0131] During the calculation process, various standard parameters of the measured object and various characteristics of the sensor output signal are comprehensively considered, and through complex and rigorous mathematical operations and logical judgments, the most appropriate adjustment coefficient is obtained. After the calculation is completed, these key adjustment coefficients are transmitted to the adjustment execution module in a timely manner to drive subsequent adjustment actions;
