[0034] The terms used in the present application are those general terms currently widely used in the art in consideration of the functions about the present application, but these terms can be changed according to the intention of the person skilled in the art, precedents or new technology in the art. In addition, specific terms can be selected by the applicant, and in this case, the detailed meaning thereof will be described in the detailed description of the present application. Therefore, the terms used in the specification should not be understood as simple names, but based on the meaning of the terms and the overall description of the present application.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Reference Figures 1-6 , the first embodiment of the present application, the embodiment provides a thrust bearing lubricating oil cooling performance test device, which comprises

[0037] Collect the temperature data of the lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 225, and transmit the collected temperature data to the PID heating controller 11;

[0038] The PID heating controller 11 controls the output power of the power output 12 according to the collected temperature;

[0039] The power output 12 controls the high-frequency electromagnetic induction coil 13 to heat the lubricating oil;

[0040] Collect the temperature T of the heated lubricating oil, and determine whether the temperature T of the heated lubricating oil is greater than or equal to the given temperature T set ;

[0041] According to the judgment result, the PID heating controller 11 controls the output power of the power output element 12 or stops again.

[0042] Before the test, the relevant parameters need to be set, including the given temperature T set , the proportional coefficient K P of the controller, the integral coefficient K I of the controller, the differential coefficient K D of the controller, the sampling time t, the maximum heating power N max , the setting of the maximum heating power, which can effectively prevent the power from being too large and causing the operation failure of the heating unit 1.

[0043] Through the setting of the PID heating controller 11, the output power of the power output element 12 can be adjusted, and the high-frequency electromagnetic induction coil 13 is controlled by the power output element 12 to heat, so as to heat the lubricating oil in the oil tank 225. In this process:

[0044] Firstly, during the test, the temperature of the lubricating oil at the inlet of the existing hydro-generator cooler needs to be collected first. The temperature of the lubricating oil is the heat absorbed by the lubricating oil in the oil pan due to friction. Based on this temperature, the corresponding temperature parameter is set on the PID heating controller 11 as the given temperature. Then, according to the temperature of the lubricating oil collected by the collection unit in the test device oil tank 225, it should be noted that the collection unit is usually a temperature sensor, which is arranged inside the oil tank 225 and used to detect the temperature of the lubricating oil in the oil tank 225. Then, the PID heating controller 11 calculates the temperature deviation signal e(t) according to the received given temperature and the temperature measured by the temperature sensor. The specific formula is as follows:

[0045] e(t) = T set -T

[0046] Where T set is the given temperature, and T is the temperature of the lubricating oil measured by the temperature sensor.

[0047] The PID heating controller 11 changes the output power u(t) according to the above calculated temperature deviation signal e(t). The power output element 12 converts the commercial power into high-frequency current. The high-frequency current generates a high-frequency magnetic field in the high-frequency electromagnetic induction coil 13. The outer wall of the oil tank 225 located in the high-frequency magnetic field generates eddy current. Under the action of the resistance effect, the eddy current converts electrical energy into heat energy. The outer wall of the oil tank 225 rapidly heats up, and the heat is transferred from the outer wall of the oil tank 225 to the lubricating oil in the oil tank 225, causing the temperature of the lubricating oil to rapidly rise. In this process, there is also a related heat loss power P loss related to the ambient temperature T amb , and the related formula is as follows:

[0048] The heating output power of the power output 12 is:

[0049]

[0050] wherein K P is the proportional coefficient of the controller, K I is the integral coefficient of the controller, K D is the differential coefficient of the controller, and t is the sampling time.

[0051] The thermodynamic model of the lubricating oil heating system is:

[0052]

[0053] wherein c is the specific heat capacity of the lubricating oil, with the unit of J / (kg·K); P loss is the heat loss power, with the unit of W;

[0054]

[0055] wherein T amb is the ambient temperature, and R is the coil thermal resistance.

[0056] It should be noted that the conventional thrust bearing test bench often realizes the axial load loading through loading high-pressure oil and loading counterweight blocks, however, the increased hydraulic loading system or the weight of the rotating parts not only increases the cost of building the test bench and complicates the structure of the test bench, but also reduces the safety and reliability of the test bench.

[0057] Therefore, the heating unit 1 is used to heat the lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 225, the heating speed is fast, and the thermal efficiency is high; and the lubricating oil is not directly contacted during the heating process, so that the pollution risk is avoided; the heating power output by the power output 12 is controlled by the PID heating controller 11, so that the lubricating oil temperature is easily controlled to change within the given value range.

[0058] Further, it is judged whether the temperature T of the heated lubricating oil is greater than or equal to the given temperature T set including,

[0059] If yes, the output power of the power output 12 is reduced by the PID heating controller 11;

[0060] If no, the output power of the power output 12 is increased;

[0061] If over-temperature, emergency stop.

[0062] This test bench, based on actual operating parameters of a power station, utilizes an electromagnetic induction heater to heat the lubricating oil, mitigating the heat loss in the thrust bearing due to axial load. To avoid significant unit vibration caused by tailrace vortexes, hydroelectric units typically operate within a 70%–100% Pr load range during actual operation. Therefore, according to… Figure 5 As shown, this invention fits the inlet temperature of the cooler of the hydro-generator unit into a temperature change curve under the operation of 65%-100% Pr, and uses it as the given signal of the heating unit 1. The temperature sensor in the oil tank 225 measures the temperature of the lubricating oil in the tank. The temperature transmitter sends the measured temperature signal to the system input through the feedback loop and compares it with the given temperature. The PID heating controller 11 changes the power output of the power output component 12 according to the deviation between the measured temperature and the given temperature, thereby ensuring that the thrust bearing lubricating oil in the oil tank 225 matches the given temperature value. Furthermore, by measuring the temperature of the lubricating oil at the end of the oil outlet pipe 244 near the cooler 243, the temperature change of the lubricating oil is determined.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] Reference Figures 4-6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Based on the first embodiment, this embodiment proposes a thrust bearing lubricating oil cooling performance testing device, which includes a heating unit 1 for heating the lubricating oil in the oil tank 225; and a data acquisition unit for acquiring temperature data of the lubricating oil in the oil tank 225. The heating unit 1 includes a PID heating controller 11 and a power output device 12. The PID heating controller 11 can receive the data acquired by the data acquisition unit, and the PID heating controller 11 can control the power output device 12 to deheat and raise the temperature of the lubricating oil in the oil tank 225 to the required temperature according to the received data.

[0065] The heating unit 1 replaces the existing method of loading high-pressure oil and counterweights to achieve axial load on the thrust bearing. Instead, it uses a motor to drive the main shaft, mirror plate, and other rotating parts to rotate, causing the oil film to be sheared and its temperature to rise. This not only reduces the load on the device, but also improves the heating efficiency of the lubricating oil during the test, making it suitable for more applications.

[0066] Furthermore, the heating unit 1 also includes a high-frequency electromagnetic induction coil 13 and an electromagnetic shielding strip 14. The high-frequency electromagnetic induction coil 13 is spirally wound around the outer ring of the oil tank 225. Both ends of the high-frequency electromagnetic induction coil 13 are connected to the power output component 12 via cables. The electromagnetic shielding strip 14 is evenly arranged around the outer ring of the oil tank 225.

[0067] The electromagnetic shielding strip 14 can effectively absorb or reflect the leaked electromagnetic strip, constrain the leaked electromagnetic strip in the heating system, significantly reduce the electromagnetic radiation to the outside, more effectively transmit the energy to the heated body, and improve the heating efficiency and working speed; the electromagnetic shielding strip 14 can form an effective isolation area, protect the core control part from interference, and improve the reliability and stability of operation; finally, the electromagnetic shielding strip 14 can make the magnetic field distribution more uniform, and improve the heating effect.
