Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vibration and swing monitoring of hydraulic generators, and specifically, to a multi-channel vibration and swing monitoring device for hydraulic generators. Background Technique
[0002] The hydro-generator is one of the core equipment of a hydropower station. Its main function is to convert water energy into mechanical energy and then convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy through the generator. The hydro-generator usually includes two main parts: a water turbine and a generator. The water turbine uses the kinetic energy and potential energy of the water flow to drive the rotor to rotate, thereby driving the rotor in the generator to generate electromagnetic induction and generate current.
[0003] During the operation of the hydro-generator, vibration and swing are inevitable phenomena. Vibration and swing will not only affect the operation efficiency of the equipment, but may also lead to equipment damage and failures. Therefore, monitoring and analyzing the vibration and swing of the hydro-generator is an important means to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the equipment.
[0004] Traditional vibration and swing monitoring systems usually adopt a single-channel design, that is, the data of all sensors are aggregated to a signal processing unit for processing. Since the data of all sensors rely on a single signal processing unit, once this processing unit fails, the entire monitoring system will not be able to work properly, posing a risk of single-point failure. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] The utility model proposes a multi-channel vibration and swing monitoring device for hydraulic generators, which solves the problem of XX in the related technology.
[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:
[0007] A multi-channel vibration and swing monitoring device for hydraulic generators includes a housing. A communication interface, a power supply interface and several sensor interfaces are arranged on the side of the housing. A central control module, a storage module, an alarm module, a communication module and several microcontrollers are arranged inside the housing. The communication interface is electrically connected to the communication module. The number of microcontrollers is the same as the number of sensor interfaces. The microcontrollers are electrically connected to the sensor interfaces. The sensor interfaces are connected to monitoring sensors. The central control module is electrically connected to the storage module, the alarm module, the communication module and the microcontrollers.
[0008] Further, the microcontroller includes an analog-to-digital conversion module for converting the analog signal of the monitoring sensor into a digital signal, and a digital signal processing module for analyzing and judging the sensor data.
[0009] Further, the monitoring sensors include an acceleration sensor, a velocity sensor, a displacement sensor, a rotational speed sensor and a temperature sensor.
[0010] Further, a display screen and control buttons are provided on the front side of the housing, and heat dissipation holes are provided on the rear side of the housing. The heat dissipation holes are communicated with the inside of the housing. Both the display screen and the control buttons are electrically connected to the central control module.
[0011] Further, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the rear side of the housing. A heat dissipation interval for facilitating heat dissipation of the heat dissipation holes is provided between the mounting plate and the housing. The mounting plate is detachably provided with a fixing member. A connecting protrusion is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing member facing the mounting plate. The mounting plate is provided with a connecting opening. The connecting protrusion is embedded in the connecting opening. The cross section of the connecting protrusion is in a "U" - shaped structure. Fixing holes are provided at the edge of the fixing member.
[0012] Further, the cross section of the mounting plate is in an "L" - shaped structure. Fixing rods are provided between the mounting plate and the rear side and the bottom of the housing. The mounting plate is fixedly connected to the housing through the fixing rods.
[0013] The working principle and beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0014] The present utility model adopts a multi - channel independent design. Each channel is equipped with an independent micro - controller and a sensor interface. Each sensor interface corresponds to an independent micro - controller, which independently processes the data of its respective channel. This design avoids the situation where all data is concentrated in one signal processing unit for processing, reducing the risk of single - point failure. Even if the micro - controller of a certain channel fails, other channels can still work normally without affecting the operation of the overall system. The central control module receives the data processed by each micro - controller and conducts further summarization and analysis. This design ensures the coordination and integrity of the system, and at the same time utilizes the independent processing capabilities of each micro - controller to improve the processing efficiency and reliability of the system. When the micro - controller or sensor of a certain channel fails, the alarm module will promptly send an alarm signal to prompt the maintenance personnel to conduct inspections and maintenance, further improving the reliability and safety of the system. Through the independent micro - controller design, the present utility model effectively solves the problem of single - point failure risk existing in the traditional single - channel design.
