Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of on-line monitoring equipment, and more specifically, relates to an on-line monitoring and early warning device for the lubrication and wear state of the bearing bush of a pumped-storage unit. Background Art

[0002] The operating conditions of pumped-storage units are complex and change frequently. During the operation of different conditions, the bearing bush components bear large loads. Effective and stable lubrication is the key to ensuring the operation of the bearing bush. It can effectively separate the two metal friction surfaces, avoid direct contact between the two friction surfaces, and prevent mechanical wear on the surfaces of the friction pairs.

[0003] During the start-stop stage of the operation of pumped-storage units, the lubricating oil film of the bearing bush is often unstable. When the oil film is unstable, wear of the bearing bush lining often occurs. In recent years, on-line oil monitoring technology has been developed. Monitoring sensors usually adopt temperature measuring sensors and vibration measuring sensors. The temperature measuring sensor judges the lubrication performance by obtaining the friction temperature of the bearing bush. If the temperature is too high, it indicates that the lubrication effect is not good and wear of the bearing bush lining may occur. The vibration measuring sensor can judge the lubrication performance by the strength of the bearing bush vibration. If the vibration frequency increases significantly, it indicates that the lubrication performance is not good and wear of the bearing bush lining may occur.

[0004] However, the installation positions of the temperature measuring sensor and the vibration measuring sensor are usually inside key components of the unit, such as bearings, cooling system pipelines, and the structural supports of the unit. Therefore, it will cause problems such as inconvenient deployment, low installation efficiency, and low maintenance efficiency. Content of the Utility Model

[0043] Next, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are introduced.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 The present application provides an online monitoring and early warning device for lubrication and wear status of bearing bushes of a pumped storage unit, comprising:

[0045] The ultrasonic sensor 1 is arranged on the surface of the bearing of the pumped storage unit, and is fixedly connected to the bearing through the hoisting hole of the bearing of the pumped storage unit, and is used to collect the working data of the bearing oil film; the working data includes the data of the bearing oil film in the unstable working state and the data in the stable working state;

[0046] The monitoring and early warning device 2 is connected to the signal output end of the ultrasonic sensor through a signal transmission line, and is used to monitor the working data of the pumped storage unit, display the working data and issue early warning prompts.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the ultrasonic sensor is installed on the hoisting hole of the bearing of the pumped storage unit, directly contacting the surface of the bearing, and is mainly used to monitor the oil film state and working conditions on the bearing surface in real time, and detect tiny oil film changes through ultrasonic technology.

[0048] Furthermore, the bearing surface of the pumped storage unit bearing and the ultrasonic sensor are both provided with threaded holes, and the pumped storage unit bearing and the ultrasonic sensor are fixed by bolts. The diameter of the threaded hole is 6 mm, and its specific size can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0049] The monitoring and early warning device is connected to the ultrasonic sensor through a signal transmission line and receives the data sent back by the sensor. The monitoring and early warning device is responsible for collecting and processing the data obtained from the ultrasonic sensor, performing real-time monitoring and analysis, and can identify abnormalities in the lubrication status of the bearing and issue early warning prompts.

The application device provides a user interface to display the data processed by the monitoring and warning device. The operator can, through the application device, understand in real time the operating status of the pumped-storage unit, including the lubrication condition of the bearing bush and any possible problems.

[0051] The specific working principle is as follows:

[0052] The ultrasonic sensor monitors the oil film state on the surface of the bearing bush through the hoisting hole and transmits the data to the monitoring and warning device. After receiving the data, the monitoring and warning device monitors in real time the working data of the pumped-storage unit, analyzes the oil film thickness and the change trend.

Therefore, there is no requirement for the installation direction. Compared with the traditional temperature measuring sensor and vibration measuring sensor, the ultrasonic sensor has the advantages of convenient deployment, improved installation and maintenance efficiency, etc. Moreover, since the sensor is deployed on the surface of the bearing bush, it can directly and real-time monitor the working status of the bearing bush and the oil film condition, and provide lubrication status information by detecting the change of the oil film on the surface of the bearing bush.

[0055] Referring to Figure 2 , optionally, the monitoring and warning device 2 includes:

[0056] A data processing module 21, connected to the ultrasonic sensor through a signal transmission line, for processing the acquisition signal of the ultrasonic sensor to obtain a processing result;

[0057] A monitoring and warning module 22, connected to the data processing module, for displaying the processing result and generating an alarm signal for prompting.

[0058] The monitoring and warning device further includes a chassis 23; both the data processing module and the monitoring and warning module are arranged in the chassis.

[0059] The monitoring and warning device further includes a power supply module 24, and the power supply module is used to supply power to the data processing module and the monitoring and warning module.

[0060] Further, the data processing module 21 includes:

[0061] The ultrasonic pulse acquisition unit 211 is connected to the ultrasonic sensor through the signal transmission line and is used to acquire the pulse signals of the ultrasonic sensor; the pulse signals include the pulse signals in the unstable working state of the bearing oil film of the pumped storage unit and the pulse signals in the stable working state.

[0062] The data conversion unit 212 is communicatively connected to the ultrasonic pulse acquisition module and is used to convert the pulse signals into electrical signals.

[0063] The analysis and statistics unit 213 is communicatively connected to the data conversion unit and is used to perform numerical statistics on the electrical signals.

[0064] In this embodiment, the amplitude of each pulse in the ultrasonic pulse train corresponds to the voltage scale of the electrical signal, and the correlation relationship between the friction pulse and the wear, damage of the bearing oil film and the lubricating oil pollution situation is established based on the numerical statistics of the voltage scale, so as to judge the lubrication wear state of the bearing, and further improve the bearing maintenance efficiency, reduce the maintenance cost, and ensure the reliable operation of the equipment.

[0065] Among them, the voltage scale of the electrical signal corresponds to the pulse amplitude of the pulse signal. The speed conditions of the pumped storage unit include high speed and low speed;

[0066] The high speed is higher than 60 revolutions per minute and corresponds to 20,000 voltage scales;

[0067] The low speed is lower than 60 revolutions per minute and corresponds to 600,000 voltage scales.

[0068] It should be noted that according to the specific operating conditions of the pumped storage unit, the number of voltage scales can be adjusted according to the actual speed.

[0069] Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is the network architecture diagram of the on-line monitoring and early warning device for the lubrication wear state of the bearing of the pumped storage unit in the embodiment of the present application.

[0071] Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6, which respectively represent the display content of the control and display unit in the embodiments of the present application, and are respectively the schematic diagram of the relationship between the time (in seconds) when the bearing bush wear is obvious, there is no abnormal friction of the bearing bush, and the voltage amplitude. It can be seen that the voltage amplitude when the bearing bush wear is obvious is significantly higher than that when there is no abnormal friction of the bearing bush. In actual operation, the staff can judge the wear condition of the bearing bush according to the voltage amplitude of the control and display unit.

[0072] Refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , which respectively represent the schematic diagram of the relationship between the voltage and the number of voltage occurrences when the bearing bush lubrication is poor and the wear is obvious, and when the bearing bush lubrication state is good. It can be seen that the voltage value corresponding to the most occurrences, the total number of occurrences when the bearing bush lubrication is poor and the wear is obvious are different from those when the bearing bush lubrication state is good. In actual operation, the staff can also judge the wear condition of the bearing bush according to the number of voltage occurrences of the control and display unit.
