Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of guide bearing control, specifically to a signal processing system and method for automatic adjustment of guide bearing gap. Background Technology
[0002] A guide bearing is a sliding bearing component used to support the smooth rotation of rotating shafts such as crankshafts and camshafts in a fixed position and to bear the load transmitted from the shaft. It is widely used in equipment requiring support for rotating shafts, such as hydroelectric turbines, steam turbines, water pumps, and machine tools. The working surface of the guide bearing is designed with oil grooves and oil holes, which can form a lubricating oil film between the shaft and the bearing, guiding the rotating shaft, reducing bearing friction resistance, and preventing excessive radial runout of the rotating shaft.
[0003] During bearing operation, due to mechanical loosening, installation mismatch, and other issues, the clearance between the rotating shaft and the guide bushing will gradually increase, affecting key indicators such as bearing vibration, oscillation, and bushing temperature. Therefore, real-time adjustment of the bushing clearance is necessary. Direct measurement and plastic clearance gauge methods are commonly used to measure bushing clearance, but these methods have a certain time lag and require machine shutdown for measurement, making them unsuitable for automatic clearance adjustment during bearing operation.
[0004] In addition, many external factors can affect the expansion of the guide shaft bearing clearance, making it difficult to pre-adjust the clearance. In multi-bearing motors, inconsistent guide shaft bearing clearance can also cause eccentricity and oscillation of the rotating shaft, increasing downtime maintenance costs. Although the impact of clearance can be mitigated by adjusting bearing lubrication, problems such as excessive oil pressure and oil leakage are still likely to occur. Summary of the Invention
