Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydraulic pitch system performance testing technology, and in particular to a pitch proportional valve performance testing system and method. Background Technology

[0002] In the hydraulic pitch control system of wind turbine generators, the proportional valve, as a core component, functions to precisely control the flow of hydraulic oil via electrical signals (voltage), thereby achieving rapid and accurate adjustment of the blade angle. However, existing technologies still have the following prominent problems regarding the performance testing of this key component: First, the testing strategies deviate from the core characteristics. The core of a pitch proportional valve lies in the dynamic voltage-flow response relationship, but existing solutions mostly focus on static pressure threshold testing or sealing and pressure characteristic testing, failing to establish a correlation analysis system between input voltage and output flow. This testing method cannot effectively identify key faults that directly affect regulation accuracy, such as valve core sticking and insufficient stroke, leading to a disconnect between test conclusions and actual operating performance.

[0003] Secondly, the testing environment and dynamic simulation are insufficient. Proportional valves actually operate under complex conditions of high pressure and continuous regulation, but existing testing equipment lacks effective control over the cleanliness and pressure stability of the hydraulic medium. Impurities in the air source and pressure fluctuations directly interfere with the accuracy of the test results. Furthermore, most tests only use fixed electrical signals, failing to simulate the dynamic flow response characteristics during voltage step changes in pitch control, resulting in a high rate of false fault diagnosis. In addition, some solutions rely on valve replacement for troubleshooting, which is time-consuming and cannot achieve quantitative analysis, leading to low efficiency.

[0004] Third, the level of system integration and intelligence is low. Although existing multi-channel testing systems have parallel testing capabilities, they are complex in structure, costly, and lack integrated data acquisition and processing functions. They can only qualitatively determine whether there is a fault, and cannot quantitatively assess health status indicators such as linearity deviation and response delay. Furthermore, they are difficult to predict performance degradation trends and cannot meet the urgent needs of wind farms for preventive maintenance.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a technical solution to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a system and method for testing the performance of a pitch proportional valve.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a performance testing system for a pitch proportional valve, the technical solution of which is as follows: A voltage regulation module is used to output an adjustable DC voltage signal to the pitch proportional valve; wherein the amplitude of the DC voltage signal supports step-like and step-like changes. The flow detection module is used to maintain the hydraulic pressure at the inlet of the pitch proportional valve through the pressure regulating valve, and to collect the hydraulic oil flow data through the pitch proportional valve through the flow meter. The data processing module is used to generate a voltage-flow fitting curve based on the correspondence between the DC voltage signal and the hydraulic oil flow data, and to identify the fault type of the pitch proportional valve based on a preset fault criterion library and the voltage-flow fitting curve.

[0020] In one alternative approach, the fault types stored in the preset fault criterion library include at least: valve core jamming and valve port blockage.

[0021] The advantages of adopting the above optional method are: further configuring the fault criterion library to include at least two typical faults, valve core jamming and valve port blockage, and setting corresponding characteristic threshold conditions to achieve accurate diagnosis of common mechanical faults of pitch proportional valves, thus meeting the actual needs of on-site operation and maintenance.

A voltage-flow fitting curve is generated based on the correspondence between the DC voltage signal and the hydraulic oil flow data. Based on a preset fault criterion library and the voltage-flow fitting curve, the fault type of the pitch proportional valve is identified.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the pitch proportional valve performance testing method of the present invention are as follows: The method of this invention solves the problems of existing detection methods that do not establish a dynamic correlation between voltage and flow, lack pressure stability control and dynamic simulation, and can only make qualitative judgments, thereby improving the accuracy of performance testing and the level of intelligent diagnosis of pitch proportional valves.

In order to better understand the technical means of the present invention and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention are described below. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the same reference numerals denote the same parts throughout the drawings. In the drawings: Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a pitch proportional valve performance testing system according to the present invention; Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of a pitch proportional valve performance testing method according to the present invention. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of an electronic device according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0028] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0029] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of a pitch proportional valve performance testing system 100 provided by the present invention is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the pitch proportional valve performance testing system 100 includes: The voltage regulation module 101 is used to output an adjustable DC voltage signal to the pitch proportional valve; wherein the amplitude of the DC voltage signal supports step-like and step-like changes.

[0030] "Amplitude adjustable" means that the DC voltage signal value can be changed continuously or in stages within a certain range. For example, when testing the pitch proportional valve of a wind turbine (type A), a programmable DC signal source can output any desired voltage value between 5V and 10V to test the performance of the proportional valve under different drive levels. A DC voltage signal refers to a voltage signal whose polarity (positive or negative) and voltage value do not change with time. For example, a programmable DC signal source provides a constant positive voltage to the solenoid coil of the pitch proportional valve as a control command. A pitch proportional valve is a control valve installed in the hydraulic pitch system of a wind turbine generator set that can proportionally adjust the output hydraulic oil flow rate according to the input electrical signal. For example, the hydraulic valve used to control the blade angle adjustment in wind turbine A changes its opening degree linearly with the magnitude of the input voltage. A stepped change refers to a signal amplitude that increases or decreases gradually in a series of discrete, fixed increments or steps. For example, a programmable DC signal source outputs 5.1V, 5.2V, 5.3V, and up to 10.0V in 0.1V steps, simulating the input of a proportional valve during slow adjustment. A jump change refers to a signal amplitude that jumps instantaneously from one level to another in a very short time. For example, the output voltage of a programmable DC signal source suddenly jumps from a stable 3.0V to 7.0V to test the dynamic response capability of a proportional valve during rapid blade pitch changes.

[0031] The flow detection module 102 is used to maintain the hydraulic pressure at the inlet of the pitch proportional valve through the pressure regulating valve, and to collect the hydraulic oil flow data through the pitch proportional valve through the flow meter.

[0032] A pressure regulating valve refers to a hydraulic control valve that automatically adjusts to maintain the fluid pressure at its outlet near a set value. For example, a valve installed in the hydraulic circuit of a testing platform constantly controls the hydraulic oil pressure supplied to the pitch proportional valve at 120 bar, unaffected by fluctuations in the upstream pump source. A flow meter is an instrument used to measure the volume of fluid passing through a pipeline per unit time. For example, an electromagnetic flow meter installed on the outlet pipe of the pitch proportional valve measures and outputs the hydraulic oil flow rate after adjustment by the proportional valve in real time, in units of L / min. Hydraulic oil flow data refers to a numerical sequence collected by the flow meter reflecting the volume of hydraulic oil flowing through the pitch proportional valve per unit time. For example, when the input voltage is 6.0V, the data collected by the electromagnetic flow meter might be a series of real-time flow values ​​such as 12.5 L / min, 12.4 L / min, and 12.6 L / min.

[0033] The data processing module 103 is used to generate a voltage-flow fitting curve based on the correspondence between the DC voltage signal and the hydraulic oil flow data, and to identify the fault type of the pitch proportional valve based on a preset fault criterion library and the voltage-flow fitting curve.

[0034] The correspondence relationship refers to the matching relationship between the input signal and the output response, which is synchronized in time and correlated in value. For example, the data processing module records that the output voltage is 5.5V at a certain moment, and at the same moment, the stable flow rate is 10.8 L / min. These two sets of data constitute a pair of corresponding data points for voltage and flow. The voltage-flow fitting curve refers to a curve that characterizes the functional relationship between a series of voltage signals and hydraulic oil flow rate data corresponding to corresponding data points, drawn using mathematical methods such as linear regression. For example, different voltage points and their corresponding average flow rate points are marked on a coordinate system, and a straight line that best reflects the overall trend is fitted. The preset fault judgment criterion library refers to a database pre-established in the data processing module, which stores the characteristic parameter judgment criteria or threshold conditions corresponding to various fault types. For example, this database may be set to indicate the risk of valve core jamming if the flow fluctuation amplitude in the low voltage range exceeds 0.5 L / min. Fault type refers to the specific type of failure or performance degradation of the pitch proportional valve as classified according to the performance test results; for example, by analyzing the test data, the system may identify fault types including valve core jamming or valve port blockage.

[0035] The technical solution of this embodiment solves the problems of existing detection methods that do not establish a dynamic correlation between voltage and flow, lack pressure stability control and dynamic simulation, and can only make qualitative judgments, thereby improving the accuracy of performance detection and the level of intelligent diagnosis of pitch proportional valves.

[0036] In one alternative embodiment, the voltage regulation module 101 is specifically used for: Configure a programmable DC signal source and control the programmable DC signal source to output an adjustable DC voltage signal to the pitch proportional valve; wherein, the DC voltage signal includes: a stepped signal that changes in predetermined steps and a stepped signal that changes abruptly according to a preset amplitude.

[0037] In this context, a programmable DC signal source refers to an electronic device capable of outputting DC voltages with specified amplitudes, waveforms, and change sequences, controlled by a program. For example, a signal generator used on a testing platform can be programmed to automatically output pre-set stepped and abrupt voltage test sequences. A predetermined step refers to a fixed increment value pre-set for each voltage change in a stepped variation; for example, setting the step value for a stepped test in the testing program to 0.1V means that the voltage increases or decreases by 0.1V with each change. A stepped signal refers to an electrical signal whose amplitude changes progressively according to a predetermined step; for example, a complete test signal sequence output by a programmable DC signal source might have voltage values ​​of 5.0V, 5.1V, 5.2V, and 5.3V, forming a rising stepped waveform. A preset amplitude refers to a target voltage value for a signal jump in a abrupt variation; for example, in a step response test, the program sets the voltage to jump from a baseline of 3.0V to a target value of 8.0V, and this 8.0V is the preset amplitude. A step signal is an electrical signal whose amplitude changes instantaneously by a preset value; for example, a voltage waveform output by a programmable DC signal source that jumps from 3.0V to 8.0V at a certain moment and remains there for a period of time.

[0038] Among the above-mentioned optional methods, precise programming control of voltage signals can be further realized, supporting stepped static calibration and step dynamic response testing, fully simulating the actual working conditions of the pitch process, and meeting the dual evaluation requirements of static accuracy and dynamic performance.

[0039] In an alternative embodiment, the flow detection module 102 is specifically used for: The hydraulic pressure at the inlet of the pitch proportional valve is controlled within a preset fluctuation range by the pressure regulating valve connected to the inlet of the pitch proportional valve.

[0040] The preset fluctuation range refers to the allowable deviation range set for hydraulic pressure stability. For example, the pressure regulating valve is set to maintain the inlet pressure of the pitch proportional valve at 120 bar, and the fluctuation does not exceed ±2%, that is, the pressure needs to be maintained between 117.6 bar and 122.4 bar.

[0041] The flow rate data of the hydraulic oil passing through the pitch proportional valve is collected by the flow meter connected to the outlet of the pitch proportional valve.

[0042] In the above-mentioned optional methods, the hydraulic pressure fluctuation is further stabilized within a preset range by the inlet pressure regulating valve, eliminating the influence of pressure interference on flow detection, and collecting accurate flow data in conjunction with the outlet flow meter to ensure the accuracy and repeatability of the test results.

[0043] In an alternative embodiment, the data processing module 103 is specifically used for: Based on multiple time-series amplitude points of the DC voltage signal and the hydraulic oil flow data points corresponding to each time-series amplitude point in the hydraulic oil flow data, the voltage-flow fitting curve is generated through linear regression calculation.

[0044] Among them, the time-series amplitude points refer to a series of instantaneous amplitude data points of the DC voltage signal acquired in chronological order; for example, during the test, the voltage value is recorded every 100 milliseconds to obtain a series of voltage data sequences ordered by time. The hydraulic oil flow rate data points refer to the hydraulic oil flow rate values ​​acquired at the same time or within the corresponding time period as each time-series amplitude point; for example, synchronized with the voltage time-series points, the flow rate is acquired every 100 milliseconds to obtain the corresponding flow rate data sequence.

[0045] It should be noted that the linear regression method in this embodiment is used to find a straight line that minimizes the overall deviation between the line and a set of two-dimensional data points.

[0046] In the above-mentioned optional methods, a linear regression calculation is further performed based on the time-series voltage amplitude points and the corresponding flow data points to generate a voltage-flow fitting curve, which quantitatively describes the mapping relationship between input voltage and output flow, and provides a mathematical model basis for fault feature extraction.

[0047] In one optional embodiment, the preset fault criterion library includes: linear error threshold conditions and response time threshold conditions corresponding to each fault type; the data processing module 103 is specifically used for: Extract the linear error characteristics and response time characteristics from the voltage-flow fitting curve.

[0048] Linearity error characteristics refer to one or more parameters used to quantify the degree to which the actual voltage-flow relationship of the pitch proportional valve deviates from the ideal linearity; for example, the percentage of linearity calculated by fitting a curve, or the maximum deviation between the measured curve and the ideal straight line. Response time characteristics refer to one or more time parameters used to quantify how quickly the output flow of the pitch proportional valve follows a step change in input voltage; for example, the time it takes for the output flow to rise from its initial value to 90% of its final stable value after a step change in input voltage.

[0049] The linear error feature and the response time feature are compared with the linear error threshold conditions and response time threshold conditions corresponding to each fault type stored in the preset fault criterion library.

[0050] The linearity error threshold condition refers to the boundary value or range of linearity error characteristics set in the preset fault criterion library to determine whether the linearity of the proportional valve is abnormal. For example, the criterion library may set that if the linearity error exceeds ±3% of the full-scale flow rate, the linearity is unqualified. The response time threshold condition refers to the boundary value of the response time characteristics set in the preset fault criterion library to determine whether the response speed of the proportional valve is abnormal. For example, the criterion library may set that if the time required for the flow rate to reach 90% of the stable value for a step change from 1V to 4V exceeds 100 milliseconds, the response is too slow.

[0051] The fault type of the pitch proportional valve is determined based on the comparison results.

[0052] The comparison result refers to the qualitative or quantitative conclusion drawn after comparing the calculated feature parameters with the threshold conditions in the fault criterion library; for example, if the calculated response time is 120ms, it is compared with the threshold condition in the criterion library that a response delay of more than 100ms is considered to be excessive, and the result is that the threshold is exceeded.

[0053] In the above-mentioned optional methods, the linear error and response time threshold conditions stored in the preset fault criterion library are further utilized to automatically compare the extracted fitting curve feature parameters with the thresholds, thereby realizing intelligent identification and classification of fault types and improving diagnostic efficiency and accuracy.

[0054] In an alternative embodiment, the data processing module 103 is specifically used for: The linear error characteristic is calculated by comparing the maximum deviation between the voltage-flow fitting curve and the ideal linear curve.

[0055] The ideal linear curve refers to a straight line in which the flow output of the pitch proportional valve is strictly proportional to the voltage input under ideal conditions. For example, assuming the proportional valve is perfectly ideal, it outputs 10 L / min at 5V and 20 L / min at 10V; the straight line connecting these two points is the ideal linear curve. The maximum deviation value refers to the maximum absolute value of the vertical distance (i.e., the flow deviation) between the actual measured voltage-flow fitting curve and the ideal linear curve at all voltage points. For example, at the 7V test point, the actual flow rate is 14.8 L / min, while the corresponding value on the ideal linear curve is 15.0 L / min, resulting in a deviation of -0.2 L / min. The maximum absolute value of the deviation found after traversing all points might be 0.3 L / min.

[0056] The response time characteristics are calculated by identifying the following delay of the hydraulic oil flow data to the step signal.

[0057] The following delay refers to the phenomenon that the change in output, i.e., flow rate, lags behind the change in input, i.e., voltage step change, in time. The length of the lag time is called the delay time. For example, if the voltage jumps from 3V to 7V at a certain moment, the flow rate will only start to rise significantly after 50 milliseconds. This 50 milliseconds is part of the following delay.

[0058] In the above-mentioned optional methods, the linear error characteristics are further calculated by comparing the maximum deviation value between the fitted curve and the ideal linear curve, and the response time characteristics are calculated by identifying the following delay of the flow data to the step signal, so as to accurately quantify the static linear deviation and dynamic response sluggishness of the pitch proportional valve.

[0059] In one alternative approach, the fault types stored in the preset fault criterion library include at least: valve core jamming and valve port blockage.

[0060] Valve core jamming refers to a malfunction in the pitch proportional valve where the valve core, due to contamination, wear, or deformation, experiences excessive resistance or becomes stuck during movement, preventing it from accurately and smoothly displacing according to electrical signals. For example, during testing, irregular fluctuations or values ​​far below expectations in the low-voltage range may indicate valve core jamming within a small opening range. Valve port blockage refers to a malfunction where the fluid passage or throttling orifice of the pitch proportional valve is partially or completely blocked by contaminants in the oil, resulting in limited flow. For example, during testing, it may be observed that in the high-voltage range, the output flow reaches a plateau and then stops increasing with voltage, indicating flow saturation, which could be a sign of partial valve port blockage.

[0061] In the above-mentioned optional methods, the fault criterion library is further configured to include at least two typical faults: valve core jamming and valve port blockage. Corresponding characteristic threshold conditions are set in a targeted manner to achieve accurate diagnosis of common mechanical faults of pitch proportional valves and meet the actual needs of on-site operation and maintenance.

[0062] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the muffler is connected to the hydraulic circuit of the pitch proportional valve to absorb pressure pulsations and hydraulic shocks generated during valve operation. By attenuating these pressure fluctuations, the muffler stabilizes the hydraulic oil flow through the pitch proportional valve. This stabilizing effect helps reduce flow measurement noise and improves the accuracy and reliability of pitch proportional valve performance test data.

[0063] Figure 2 A schematic flowchart of an embodiment of a pitch proportional valve performance testing method provided by the present invention is shown. Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps: S1. Output an adjustable DC voltage signal to the pitch proportional valve; wherein the amplitude of the DC voltage signal supports both stepped and abrupt changes. S2. The hydraulic pressure at the inlet of the pitch proportional valve is kept stable by a pressure regulating valve, and the hydraulic oil flow data through the pitch proportional valve is collected by a flow meter. S3. Generate a voltage-flow fitting curve based on the correspondence between the DC voltage signal and the hydraulic oil flow data, and identify the fault type of the pitch proportional valve based on the preset fault criterion library and the voltage-flow fitting curve.

[0064] In one alternative approach, S1 specifically includes: Configure a programmable DC signal source and control the programmable DC signal source to output an adjustable DC voltage signal to the pitch proportional valve; wherein, the DC voltage signal includes: a stepped signal that changes in predetermined steps and a stepped signal that changes abruptly according to a preset amplitude.

[0065] In one alternative approach, S2 specifically includes: The hydraulic pressure at the inlet is controlled within a preset fluctuation range by means of the pressure regulating valve connected to the inlet of the pitch proportional valve; The flow rate data of the hydraulic oil passing through the pitch proportional valve is collected by the flow meter connected to the outlet of the pitch proportional valve.

[0066] In one optional embodiment, the step of generating a voltage-flow fitting curve based on the correspondence between the DC voltage signal and the hydraulic oil flow data includes: Based on multiple time-series amplitude points of the DC voltage signal and the hydraulic oil flow data points corresponding to each time-series amplitude point in the hydraulic oil flow data, the voltage-flow fitting curve is generated through linear regression calculation.

[0067] In one optional approach, the preset fault criterion library includes: a linear error threshold condition and a response time threshold condition corresponding to each fault type; the step of identifying the fault type of the pitch proportional valve based on the preset fault criterion library and the voltage-flow fitting curve includes: Extract the linear error characteristics and response time characteristics from the voltage-flow fitting curve; The linear error feature and the response time feature are compared with the linear error threshold conditions and response time threshold conditions corresponding to each fault type stored in the preset fault criterion library, respectively. The fault type of the pitch proportional valve is determined based on the comparison results.

[0068] In one alternative approach, the step of extracting the linear error features and response time features from the voltage-flow fitting curve includes: The linear error characteristic is calculated by comparing the maximum deviation between the voltage-flow fitting curve and the ideal linear curve; The response time characteristics are calculated by identifying the following delay of the hydraulic oil flow data to the step signal.

[0069] In one alternative approach, the fault types stored in the preset fault criterion library include at least: valve core jamming and valve port blockage.
