Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pollution cleaning, in particular to an online pollution cleaning device for an eddy current sensor. Background Art

[0002] The measurement of shaft vibration is in demand in the aviation, petroleum, mining and other industries. Eddy current sensors have the advantages of good long-term working reliability, high sensitivity, strong anti-interference ability, non-contact measurement, fast response speed, and convenience for remote measurement. They can measure the distance between the measured metal conductor and the probe surface statically and dynamically, non-contactly, with high linearity and high resolution. It is currently the most widely used method for displacement and shaft vibration measurement. It is widely used in the industrial field for displacement and shaft vibration measurement of rotating equipment (such as fans, steam turbines, engines, etc.). However, because most of the measured surfaces are exposed to the outside, they are prone to rust after long-term operation, and the measured surfaces are easily contaminated by oil, dust, etc., which interferes with the measurement. At present, rotating equipment mostly uses eddy current sensors to measure shaft vibration data as interlocking protection. The measurement distortion caused by the contamination of the measured surface leads to the misoperation of the equipment interlocking from time to time, resulting in unnecessary equipment downtime losses.

[0003] The existing technology uses eddy current sensors fixed on the cover of rotating equipment. The sensor is centered on the rotor of the rotating equipment and the measurement interval is adjusted. However, the measured surface is prone to adsorb dust and rust, which cannot be handled during operation, resulting in distortion of shaft system data measurement. As the operating time increases, attachments accumulate on the shaft of the rotating equipment. If not handled in time, it will seriously interfere with the measurement of shaft system vibration data. In severe cases, it will cause corresponding interlocking protection actions, causing abnormal tripping and shutdown of the unit.

[0004] The utility model provides an online dirt cleaning device for an eddy current sensor, which is in close contact with a cleaned surface at all times without stopping the operation of the equipment, so as to clean the measuring surface. Utility Model Content
