Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of range extender technology, and in particular to a dynamic diagnostic method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for coupling malfunctions. Background Technology

[0002] A range extender is an onboard generator primarily used to charge the battery of an electric vehicle, rather than directly driving the vehicle. When the battery is low, the range extender starts generating electricity to extend the vehicle's driving range; it is commonly found in range-extended electric vehicles. A range extender mainly consists of an engine, a coupling, and a generator, with the engine and generator connected via the coupling. A flexible coupling is typically included in the range extender. A flexible coupling is a mechanical component used to connect two rotating shafts and transmit torque; it can absorb vibrations, compensate for alignment errors (such as axial, radial, and angular misalignment), and mitigate impact loads. In range extender systems, flexible couplings are used for vibration reduction and improving operational smoothness.

[0003] However, during long-term operation of the range extender, coupling bolts may break. Broken coupling bolts can affect the connection between the engine and generator, thus impacting power transmission between them. Current technology cannot promptly identify and diagnose broken coupling bolts in the range extender. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a dynamic diagnostic method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for coupling malfunctions, to solve the problem in the prior art that coupling bolt breakage cannot be diagnosed and identified when it occurs in a range extender.

[0005] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a dynamic diagnostic method for coupling malfunctions is provided, comprising:

[0006] Obtain the range extender's power output, actual engine speed, actual generator speed, and set generator speed;

[0007] When the power generation is constant within a preset time, the coupling bolts are judged to be abnormal based on the power generation, actual engine speed, actual generator speed, generator set speed and preset power generation-speed deviation.

[0008] When the coupling bolts are abnormal, the coupling should be inspected and repaired.

[0009] Optionally, the abnormality of the coupling bolts can be determined based on the correspondence between the power generation capacity, the actual engine speed, the actual generator speed, the generator set speed, and the preset power generation capacity-speed deviation, including:

[0010] The first speed deviation is calculated based on the actual engine speed and the set generator speed; the second speed deviation is calculated based on the actual generator speed and the set generator speed; and the third speed deviation is calculated based on the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed.

[0011] Determine whether the coupling bolts are abnormal based on the power generation, first speed deviation, second speed deviation, third speed deviation, and the preset power generation-speed deviation correspondence.

[0012] Optionally, the preset power generation-speed deviation includes a first speed deviation threshold, a second speed deviation threshold, and a third speed deviation threshold corresponding to the power generation.

[0013] When the coupling bolts are abnormal, the coupling should be inspected, including:

[0014] When the second speed deviation is less than the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation is greater than the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation is greater than the third speed deviation threshold, the coupling bolts are judged to be abnormal, and the coupling is repaired.

[0015] Optionally, when the second speed deviation is less than the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation is greater than the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation is greater than the third speed deviation threshold, the coupling bolt is judged to be abnormal, including:

[0016] When the number of abnormalities reaches a preset number, the coupling bolt is determined to be abnormal; where the number of abnormalities is the cumulative number of times that the second speed deviation is less than the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation is greater than the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation is greater than the third speed deviation threshold.

[0017] Optionally, when the power generation is constant within a preset time, after determining whether the coupling bolts are abnormal based on the power generation, actual engine speed, actual generator speed, generator set speed, and the preset power generation-speed deviation correspondence, the following steps are also included:

[0018] When the second speed deviation is less than the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation is less than the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation is less than the third speed deviation threshold, the coupling bolts are judged to be normal.

[0019] When the second speed deviation is greater than the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation is greater than the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation is greater than the third speed deviation threshold, the coupling is judged to be abnormal and the coupling is repaired.

[0020] Optionally, when the second speed deviation is greater than the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation is greater than the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation is greater than the third speed deviation threshold, the coupling is judged to be abnormal, including:

[0021] When the duration of the abnormality exceeds the set abnormal time threshold, the coupling is determined to be abnormal; wherein, the abnormal duration is the duration during which the second speed deviation is greater than the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation is greater than the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation is greater than the third speed deviation threshold.

[0022] Optionally, the abnormality of the coupling bolts can be determined based on the correspondence between the power generation capacity, the actual engine speed, the actual generator speed, the generator set speed, and the preset power generation capacity-speed deviation, including:

[0023] When no fault torque limiting signal is received, the coupling bolts are judged to be abnormal based on the generator power, engine actual speed, generator actual speed, generator set speed and preset generator power-speed deviation correspondence.

[0024] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a diagnostic apparatus for coupling malfunction is provided, for performing a dynamic diagnostic method for coupling malfunction, the diagnostic apparatus comprising:

[0025] The parameter acquisition module is used to acquire the range extender's power generation, actual engine speed, actual generator speed, and set generator speed.

[0026] The anomaly detection module is used to determine whether the coupling bolts are abnormal when the power generation is constant within a preset time, based on the power generation, actual engine speed, actual generator speed, generator set speed and preset power generation-speed deviation correspondence.

[0027] The maintenance module is used to inspect the coupling when the coupling bolts are abnormal.

[0030] The technical solution of this invention obtains the power generation, actual engine speed, actual generator speed, and set generator speed, and combines the preset power generation-speed deviation correspondence to identify the characteristics of dynamic speed fluctuation after coupling bolt breakage. Based on these characteristics, the coupling is diagnosed as abnormal. When the coupling bolt is found to be abnormal, it is repaired in a timely manner to avoid further damage to the range extender and ensure driving safety.

[0043] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0045] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a first dynamic diagnostic method for coupling malfunctions provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, this dynamic diagnostic method includes:

[0046] S10: Obtain the range extender's power output, actual engine speed, actual generator speed, and set generator speed.

[0047] The dynamic diagnostic method of this invention can be applied to hybrid vehicles. In hybrid vehicles, the range extender is electrically connected to the power battery and can be used to supply power to the power battery; the power battery is electrically connected to the drive motor and can provide electrical energy to the drive motor. The range extender includes an engine, a coupling, and a generator. The engine is connected to the generator via the coupling. Under normal operating conditions, the engine and generator rotate at essentially the same speed.

[0048] The purpose of acquiring the generated power is to monitor the current operating status of the range extender. Since this dynamic diagnostic method requires combining the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed, acquiring the generated power can determine whether the range extender is currently operating at a constant power. If the current generated power is not constant, then the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed are theoretically not constant values, so it is impossible to make a judgment based on the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed, and the dynamic diagnostic method cannot be executed. If the current generated power is constant, then the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed are theoretically constant under constant power, and thus the dynamic diagnostic method in this embodiment of the invention can be executed.

[0049] Among them, the actual engine speed can be the speed value actually measured during engine operation; the actual generator speed can be the speed value actually measured during generator operation; and the generator set speed can be the target speed value issued by the vehicle controller to the generator according to the current operating conditions.

[0050] S11. When the power generation is constant within a preset time, determine whether the coupling bolts are abnormal based on the power generation, actual engine speed, actual generator speed, generator set speed, and preset power generation-speed deviation.

[0051] When the power output of the range extender remains constant within a preset time, it indicates that the range extender is in a constant power state, and dynamic diagnosis of coupling abnormalities can be performed. Therefore, at this time, the preset speed deviation parameters under the current power output are determined based on the power output and the preset power output-speed deviation, and the actual speed deviation parameters are determined based on the actual engine speed, the actual generator speed, and the generator set speed. The coupling bolts are then checked for abnormalities based on the preset speed deviation parameters and the actual speed deviation parameters.

[0052] The preset power generation-speed deviation can be the preset speed deviation parameters corresponding to each generator power. The preset speed deviation parameters corresponding to the obtained power generation can be determined and used as a benchmark to judge the actual speed deviation parameters.

[0053] The coupling bolts affect the connection between the coupling and the engine and / or the coupling and the generator, thus affecting the transmission between the generator and the engine. The impact of the failure of different numbers of coupling bolts on the actual speed of the generator and the actual speed of the engine is also different. Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, the actual speed deviation parameter is compared with the preset speed deviation parameter to determine whether the coupling has broken.

[0054] S12. When the coupling bolts are abnormal, the coupling shall be inspected and repaired.

[0055] If the actual speed deviation parameter is not within the preset speed deviation parameter range, it indicates that the coupling bolts are abnormal. The vehicle should be powered off and the coupling should be inspected.

[0056] For example, when the driver powers on the machine and starts working, the generator power, engine speed, generator speed and generator set speed are obtained. When the generator power of the range extender is constant, the coupling bolts are checked for abnormality based on the generator power, engine speed, generator speed, generator set speed and preset generator power-speed deviation. If the coupling bolts are checked for abnormality, the coupling is inspected.

[0057] Understandable, Figure 2 This is a comparison diagram of the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed when the coupling malfunctions, provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, when individual coupling bolts malfunction, the generator's actual speed initially stabilizes, but the engine's actual speed fluctuates due to the coupling's influence. Figure 2 The solid black line represents the actual generator speed, and the dashed line represents the actual engine speed. Figure 2 As can be seen, the actual engine speed fluctuates significantly, while the actual generator speed is relatively stable. When the coupling bolts malfunction, a large difference between the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed will frequently occur (i.e.,...). Figure 2 The speed difference of the coupling is shown in the figure. After a period of time, the speed difference will return to the normal level. To address this phenomenon, the technical solution of this embodiment of the invention acquires and monitors the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed. Due to the involvement of the generator's set speed, even small fluctuations in the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed can be identified by the dynamic diagnostic method in this embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment of the invention, small fluctuations in the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed are determined to be due to coupling bolt breakage. When the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed fluctuate within a large range, it indicates that there may be more than just a broken coupling bolt; the coupling may have a serious fault. In this case, the machine should be stopped immediately for repair.

[0058] The technical solution of this invention obtains the power generation, actual engine speed, actual generator speed, and set generator speed, and combines the preset power generation-speed deviation correspondence to identify the characteristics of dynamic speed fluctuation after coupling bolt breakage. Based on these characteristics, the coupling is diagnosed as abnormal. When the coupling bolt is found to be abnormal, it is repaired in a timely manner to avoid further damage to the range extender and ensure driving safety.

[0059] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a second dynamic diagnostic method for coupling malfunctions provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, this dynamic diagnostic method includes:

[0060] S20: Obtain the range extender's power output, actual engine speed, actual generator speed, and set generator speed.

[0061] S21. When the power generation is constant within a preset time, calculate the first speed deviation based on the actual engine speed and the set generator speed, calculate the second speed deviation based on the actual generator speed and the set generator speed, and calculate the third speed deviation based on the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed.

[0062] The first speed deviation can be the speed difference between the actual engine speed and the set generator speed; the second speed deviation can be the speed difference between the actual generator speed and the set generator speed; and the third speed deviation can be the speed difference between the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed.

[0063] Since the generator and engine are rigidly connected by a coupling, under normal conditions of the range extender, the actual engine speed is equal to the actual engine speed, and the actual generator speed is equal to the generator set speed. Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, the first speed deviation can characterize the deviation between the actual engine speed and the target value, the second speed deviation can characterize the deviation between the actual generator speed and the target value, and the third speed deviation can characterize the deviation between the actual generator speed and the actual engine speed.

[0064] S22. Determine whether the coupling bolts are abnormal based on the power generation, first speed deviation, second speed deviation, third speed deviation and preset power generation-speed deviation correspondence.

[0065] Among them, based on the correspondence between the power generation and the preset power generation-speed deviation, the deviation threshold between the actual engine speed and the target value under the current power generation, the deviation threshold between the actual generator speed and the target value, and the deviation threshold between the actual generator speed and the actual engine speed can be obtained. Therefore, the first speed deviation, the second speed deviation, the third speed deviation and each corresponding deviation threshold can be compared to determine whether the coupling bolts are abnormal.

[0066] S23. When the coupling bolts are abnormal, the coupling shall be inspected and repaired.

[0067] The technical solution of this invention realizes dynamic diagnosis of the coupling by judging whether the actual speed of the engine and the actual speed of the generator frequently differ based on the first speed deviation, the second speed deviation, the third speed deviation and the preset power generation-speed deviation correspondence.

[0068] Based on the above embodiments, the preset power generation-speed deviation includes a first speed deviation threshold, a second speed deviation threshold, and a third speed deviation threshold corresponding to the power generation. Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a third dynamic diagnostic method for coupling malfunctions provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, this dynamic diagnostic method includes:

[0069] S30: Obtain the range extender's power output, actual engine speed, actual generator speed, and set generator speed.

[0070] S31. When the power generation is constant within a preset time, calculate the first speed deviation based on the actual engine speed and the set generator speed, calculate the second speed deviation based on the actual generator speed and the set generator speed, and calculate the third speed deviation based on the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed.

[0071] S32. Determine whether the coupling bolts are abnormal based on the power generation, first speed deviation, second speed deviation, third speed deviation and preset power generation-speed deviation correspondence.

[0072] S33. When the second speed deviation is less than the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation is greater than the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation is greater than the third speed deviation threshold, the coupling bolts are judged to be abnormal, and the coupling is repaired.

[0073] The first speed deviation threshold can be the deviation threshold between the actual engine speed and the target value under the current power generation; the second speed deviation threshold can be the deviation threshold between the actual generator speed and the target value under the current power generation; and the third speed deviation can be the deviation threshold between the actual generator speed and the actual engine speed under the current power generation.

[0074] When the coupling bolt breaks, the actual engine speed will fluctuate due to the influence of the coupling. Therefore, when the second speed deviation is less than the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation is greater than the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation is greater than the third speed deviation threshold, it indicates that the actual engine speed is fluctuating. However, the actual generator speed is still running according to the set speed. The difference between the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed is too large. At this time, it is a small range of speed fluctuation, and it is determined that the coupling bolt is abnormal. The coupling needs to be repaired.

[0075] The technical solution of this invention, based on the characteristic that the first phenomenon when the coupling bolt breaks is the fluctuation of the actual engine speed while the actual generator speed remains unchanged, determines whether the range extender has experienced coupling breakage. If the coupling is not affected by the failure to drive safely, it is repaired in a timely manner. By identifying coupling bolt failures in advance, further damage to the internal parts of the coupling is avoided.

[0076] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 5 This is a flowchart of a fourth dynamic diagnostic method for coupling malfunctions provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, this dynamic diagnostic method includes:

[0077] S40: Obtain the range extender's power output, actual engine speed, actual generator speed, and set generator speed.

[0078] S41. When the power generation is constant within a preset time, calculate the first speed deviation based on the actual engine speed and the set generator speed, calculate the second speed deviation based on the actual generator speed and the set generator speed, and calculate the third speed deviation based on the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed.

[0079] S42. Determine whether the coupling bolts are abnormal based on the power generation, first speed deviation, second speed deviation, third speed deviation and preset power generation-speed deviation correspondence.

[0080] S43. When the number of abnormal occurrences reaches a preset number, the coupling bolts are determined to be abnormal. The number of abnormal occurrences is the cumulative number of times the second speed deviation is less than the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation is greater than the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation is greater than the third speed deviation threshold.

[0081] To prevent frequent vehicle shutdowns due to system errors, an exception count is set. The preset count can be the minimum number of times the coupling bolt is detected as broken. When the preset count is reached, it indicates that the actual engine speed is fluctuating frequently, thus indicating an abnormality in the coupling bolt.

[0082] Understandably, the varying degrees of fracture in the coupling bolts will result in different durations of abnormal operation. This duration can be considered the time it takes for the engine's actual speed to fluctuate. For example, when half of the coupling bolt is fractured, the engine's actual speed may fluctuate at the current moment and return to normal at the next moment. Similarly, when three-quarters of the coupling bolt is fractured, the engine's actual speed may fluctuate at the current moment and return to normal at the next moment. However, the duration of the abnormal fluctuation in engine speed is longer when only half of the coupling bolt is fractured compared to when only half of the coupling bolt is fractured. Therefore, the presence of minor fractures in the coupling bolts can be determined by statistically analyzing the number of abnormal occurrences.

[0083] The technical solution of this invention determines that the coupling bolts are abnormal when the number of abnormalities reaches a preset number, thus avoiding the problem of frequent vehicle shutdowns for maintenance due to false alarms in the system and improving the accuracy of dynamic diagnosis.

[0084] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 6 This is a flowchart of the fifth dynamic diagnostic method for coupling malfunctions provided in the embodiments of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, this dynamic diagnostic method includes:

[0085] S50: Obtain the range extender's power output, actual engine speed, actual generator speed, and set generator speed.

[0086] S51. When the power generation is constant within a preset time, calculate the first speed deviation based on the actual engine speed and the set generator speed, calculate the second speed deviation based on the actual generator speed and the set generator speed, and calculate the third speed deviation based on the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed.

[0087] S52. Determine whether the coupling bolts are abnormal based on the power generation, first speed deviation, second speed deviation, third speed deviation and preset power generation-speed deviation correspondence.

[0088] S53. When the second speed deviation is less than the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation is greater than the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation is greater than the third speed deviation threshold, the coupling bolts are judged to be abnormal, and the coupling is repaired.

[0089] S54. When the second speed deviation is less than the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation is less than the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation is less than the third speed deviation threshold, the coupling bolts are judged to be normal.

[0090] Specifically, when the second speed deviation is less than the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation is less than the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation is less than the third speed deviation threshold, it indicates that the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed are both within the normal range, so the coupling bolts are normal at this time.

[0091] S55. When the second speed deviation is greater than the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation is greater than the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation is greater than the third speed deviation threshold, the coupling is judged to be abnormal and the coupling is repaired.

[0092] When the second speed deviation is greater than the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation is greater than the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation is greater than the third speed deviation threshold, it indicates that both the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed are fluctuating. This may be due to a serious abnormality in the coupling, so an emergency shutdown and maintenance of the coupling is required.

[0093] The technical solution of this invention provides different judgment results when the first speed deviation, the second speed deviation, and the third speed deviation meet different conditions, and distinguishes between abnormal coupling bolts and severe coupling abnormalities, thereby meeting different maintenance conditions and improving the accuracy, safety, and efficiency of dynamic diagnosis.

[0094] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 7 This is a flowchart of the sixth type of dynamic diagnostic method for coupling malfunctions provided by an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 7 As shown, this dynamic diagnostic method includes:

[0095] S60: Obtain the range extender's power output, actual engine speed, actual generator speed, and set generator speed.

[0096] S61. When the power generation is constant within a preset time, calculate the first speed deviation based on the actual engine speed and the set generator speed, calculate the second speed deviation based on the actual generator speed and the set generator speed, and calculate the third speed deviation based on the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed.

[0097] S62. Determine whether the coupling bolts are abnormal based on the power generation, first speed deviation, second speed deviation, third speed deviation and preset power generation-speed deviation correspondence.

[0098] S63. When the second speed deviation is less than the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation is greater than the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation is greater than the third speed deviation threshold, the coupling bolts are judged to be abnormal, and the coupling is repaired.

[0099] S64. When the second speed deviation is less than the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation is less than the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation is less than the third speed deviation threshold, the coupling bolts are judged to be normal.

[0100] S65. When the abnormal duration exceeds the set abnormal time threshold, the coupling is determined to be abnormal. The abnormal duration is defined as the duration during which the second speed deviation exceeds the second speed deviation threshold, the first speed deviation exceeds the first speed deviation threshold, and the third speed deviation exceeds the third speed deviation threshold.

[0101] The abnormal duration can be the time during which the actual engine speed fluctuates. For example, when half of the coupling bolts are broken, the actual engine speed will fluctuate at the current moment and return to normal at the next moment. Similarly, when three-quarters of the coupling bolts are broken, the actual engine speed will fluctuate at the current moment and return to normal at the next moment. However, the abnormal duration of the engine speed fluctuation is longer than that when half of the coupling bolts are broken. Therefore, the abnormal duration is used to determine whether there is a serious abnormality in the coupling.

[0102] Specifically, when the duration of the abnormality exceeds the set abnormal time threshold, it indicates that both the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed are fluctuating for a certain period of time. This may be due to a serious abnormality in the coupling. Therefore, an emergency shutdown and repair of the coupling is necessary to avoid jeopardizing driving safety.

[0103] It is understood that the embodiments of the present invention determine different abnormal judgment criteria based on different degrees of coupling bolt fracture, namely, one is judged by the number of abnormalities and the other is judged by the duration of abnormalities, thereby accurately judging different fracture conditions and other conditions besides bolt fracture, improving the accuracy and reliability of range extender abnormal judgment.

[0104] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 8 This is a flowchart of the seventh type of dynamic diagnostic method for coupling malfunctions provided by an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 8 As shown, this dynamic diagnostic method includes:

[0105] S70: Obtain the range extender's power output, actual engine speed, actual generator speed, and set generator speed.

[0106] S71. When the power generation is constant within a preset time, if no fault torque limiting signal is received, determine whether the coupling bolts are abnormal based on the power generation, actual engine speed, actual generator speed, generator set speed, and preset power generation-speed deviation correspondence.

[0107] Among them, the fault torque limiting signal can be a torque limiting signal input by an engine or generator fault. When an engine or generator fault causes torque limiting, it will also affect the actual engine speed and the actual generator speed. This situation will affect the judgment of the dynamic diagnostic method. Therefore, before performing dynamic diagnosis, it is necessary to first determine whether a fault torque limiting signal is received. If no fault torque limiting signal is received, it means that there is no engine or generator fault torque limiting at this time, and then dynamic diagnosis can continue.

[0108] S72. When the coupling bolts are abnormal, the coupling shall be inspected and repaired.

[0109] The technical solution of this invention performs dynamic diagnosis only when no fault torque limiting signal is received, thereby eliminating the problem of engine or generator fault torque limiting and improving the accuracy and reliability of the dynamic diagnosis method.

[0110] Based on the same inventive concept. Figure 9 This is a connection diagram of a diagnostic device for coupling malfunctions according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the diagram.
