Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial equipment condition monitoring and fault diagnosis technology, specifically to a method and system for abnormal monitoring of similar components in a large reciprocating pump. Background Technology

[0002] Reciprocating pumps are core equipment in the oil production process. Their similar components (such as multi-cylinder, multi-valve group, crankshaft bearing, motor bearing, crosshead, large-end bearing, packing, etc.) are highly similar in structure and operating conditions. Abnormal temperature is an important precursor to component failure.

[0003] Existing temperature monitoring technologies mostly employ fixed threshold methods (such as alarms when temperatures exceed 80°C) or simple mean deviation methods, which have the following core drawbacks: 1. Inherent deviations in component operating conditions cannot be eliminated: Due to differences in installation location, machining accuracy, and flow field distribution, similar components have inherent temperature differences. Traditional methods do not compensate for this deviation, which can easily lead to false alarms under normal operating conditions. 2. Insensitive to early slow temperature rise: Early faults often manifest as a slow, small temperature rise. Traditional fixed threshold methods cannot detect such weak anomalies, resulting in delayed warnings and missing the best maintenance opportunity. 3. Susceptible to abnormal interference: Sensor noise and instantaneous operating condition fluctuations in industrial settings can easily generate abnormal data, which can contaminate traditional mean calculations, leading to benchmark distortion and increased misjudgments.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a temperature monitoring method that can eliminate inherent operating condition deviations, sensitively identify early slow temperature rises, and resist abnormal interference, so as to improve the operational safety and reliability of large reciprocating pump equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technologies by providing a method and system for abnormal monitoring of similar components in large reciprocating pumps. This method eliminates inherent temperature deviations between similar components, suppresses abnormal interference, sensitively identifies early slow temperature rises, achieves accurate early warning, and ensures safe operation of the equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for monitoring anomalies in similar components of a large reciprocating pump, comprising a baseline data establishment stage and a real-time monitoring stage. The baseline data establishment stage includes the following steps: A1) In One measuring point is set at the same location on each of the same type of component, totaling... Data was collected from one measurement point. Temperature data of each measuring point during a period of time under fault-free operating conditions. , For a point in time; A2) Calculate based on the temperature data Each measuring point at each time point median temperature To avoid contamination of the baseline by anomalies and address the vulnerability to anomaly interference, The measurement point number; A3) Calculate the first The deviation of each measuring point relative to the group temperature reference This reflects its deviation from the group temperature baseline; A4) Calculate the first The median of the deviation values ​​at each measuring point during the fault-free time. As the baseline of the working condition deviation of the measuring point, it is used to subtract the inherent deviation in subsequent real-time monitoring, thereby eliminating false alarms caused by the inherent temperature difference between components from the root cause. The real-time monitoring phase includes the following steps: B1) Real-time data acquisition Current temperature data at measuring points on similar components ; B2) Determine the first Current temperature data at each measuring point Is it higher than the preset high temperature threshold? If yes, an alarm message will be issued and the process will end to handle the emergency fault. If no, the median temperature at all measuring points will be calculated. ; B3) Calculate the first Each measuring point relative to the current median temperature Current deviation value ; B4) Combine the baseline of operating condition deviation obtained in step A4) Calculate the first Relative deviation of each measuring point Eliminate the inherent operating condition deviations of the measuring points and retain only the true abnormal signals; B5) Calculate the median of the absolute values ​​of the current deviations at all measuring points. This reflects the degree of dispersion of temperature distribution under the current operating conditions, and realizes the dynamic standardization of anomaly scores; B6) Calculate the first Current anomaly score at each measuring point In the formula, For conversion factors, This is the resolution compensation coefficient. Based on the resolution of the on-site temperature data, to avoid distortion at low resolution, this formula amplifies the weak signal of early slow temperature rise through MAD-based standardization processing, overcoming the deficiency of insensitivity to early slow temperature rise and achieving sensitive identification of early slow temperature rise. If an abnormal score is detected... , If the temperature reaches the abnormal threshold, an early warning message will be issued to indicate an early temperature anomaly, and the process will end.

[0007] Preferably, in step A1), the fault-free operating conditions cover the equipment under loaded, unloaded, and variable load operating conditions to ensure the integrity and representativeness of the baseline data.

[0008] Preferably, in step A1), the running time is not less than 24 hours to ensure the integrity and representativeness of the baseline data.

[0009] Preferably, in step B6), The value is 1.4826. The median absolute value of the current deviation is converted to an equivalent standard deviation to ensure the robustness of the statistic, combined with the resolution compensation coefficient. This enables the standardized amplification of early, subtle anomalies, addressing the issue of insensitivity to slow temperature rises.

[0010] Preferred, .

[0011] Preferred, .

[0012] Preferably, it also includes a baseline update mechanism, which periodically re-collects temperature data under fault-free operating conditions during long-term equipment operation, updates the operating condition deviation baseline, and adapts to equipment aging or changes in operating conditions.

[0013] A large reciprocating pump component anomaly monitoring system includes a temperature sensor group, a data processing module, and an alarm output module. The temperature sensor group is installed on the component to collect temperature data. The data processing module is connected to the temperature sensor group to acquire the temperature data. The temperature data is processed and analyzed using the large reciprocating pump component anomaly monitoring method. The alarm output module is connected to the data processing module to output alarm information or early warning information.

[0014] Preferably, the data processing module includes a baseline establishment unit and a real-time monitoring unit. The baseline establishment unit is used to calculate the median temperature, the deviation value, and the operating condition deviation baseline. The real-time monitoring unit is used to monitor in real time and calculate the current median temperature, the current deviation value, the relative deviation value, the median absolute value of the current deviation value, and the current anomaly score.

[0015] Preferably, the alarm output module includes two-level alarm units: a high temperature alarm unit and an abnormality warning unit. The high temperature alarm unit triggers an emergency alarm and outputs alarm information when it detects an abnormal high temperature. The abnormality warning unit triggers an early warning and outputs warning information when it detects an abnormality score.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. By establishing a baseline for operating condition deviation at the measurement point level, the inherent temperature deviation between similar components is eliminated, thereby reducing the false alarm rate from the root cause. The false alarm rate is reduced by more than 60% compared to traditional methods. 2. A robust median statistic is used instead of the mean to suppress the interference of outliers on the benchmark calculation and improve the robustness of the algorithm; 3. The design is based on the relative deviation anomaly score of the median absolute value of the deviation, which standardizes and amplifies the early slow temperature rise signal. This can amplify the slow temperature rise of 0.5℃ / h to a recognizable range, achieving accurate early warning of anomalies. The warning is 30 to 60 minutes earlier than the fixed threshold method. 4. Construct a two-level alarm mechanism of "high temperature emergency alarm + abnormal score early warning". The high temperature emergency alarm ensures the handling of extreme faults, while the abnormal score early warning enables early detection of potential hazards, balancing safety and operation and maintenance efficiency, and ensuring the timeliness and foresight of fault handling. 5. It has strong versatility and is applicable to all large reciprocating pump equipment with similar symmetrical components. The algorithm logic is clear and easy to embed into existing monitoring systems. Attached Figure Description
