Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compressor eddy current monitoring technology, specifically to an eddy current monitoring system for an analytical gas compressor. Background Technology

[0002] Shaft system monitoring instruments are commonly used in the petrochemical industry. They consist of sensor probes, extension cables, preamplifiers, signal lines, and monitoring systems. Different sensor probes are used to detect displacement, vibration, and speed values ​​of the equipment. Eddy current sensor probes are commonly used in large transmission equipment such as compressors, steam turbines, and dry presses to continuously monitor the safe operation of the equipment, ensuring its safe operation and reducing abnormal shutdowns and other malfunctions. When the bearing parameters of the equipment exceed or fall below set values, an alarm signal is issued on the system. If the exceedance is significant, an interlock shutdown will be initiated to ensure the safe, stable, and long-term operation of the equipment.

[0003] The quality of the eddy current sensor probe directly affects the entire detection system. When the unit equipment is shut down due to a fault, the eddy current sensor probe needs to be verified and checked. Since there is no external monitoring system, the eddy current sensor probe is usually not disassembled during the inspection. It is necessary for staff to lean into the unit to adjust the probe position, and then another staff member to observe and record the voltage value to judge the quality of the probe. This work is inefficient and the unit is dirty and oily with a pungent smell. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an eddy current monitoring system for an analytical gas compressor.

[0022] Example:

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an eddy current monitoring system for an analytical gas compressor includes a test bench 3, a monitoring controller 23, a preamplifier 22, and a multimeter 24. The test bench 3 has a caliper bracket 33 and a sensor bracket 31 on its top left and right sides, respectively. The caliper bracket 33 has a slot at its top center, in which a caliper 35 is installed. A steel plate 36 is connected to one end of the caliper 35 near the sensor bracket 31. The sensor bracket 31 has a through hole at its top center, in which an eddy current sensor 2 is connected. The center of the steel plate 36 is directly opposite the eddy current sensor 2.

[0024] The extension cable 21 of the eddy current sensor 2 is connected to the preamplifier 22, and the preamplifier 22 is connected to the monitoring controller 23 and the multimeter 24 respectively via the signal line 25.

[0025] The caliper 35 includes a main scale 351 and a secondary scale 352. The secondary scale 352 is slidably fitted onto the outer wall of the main scale 351 and passes through a groove. A first fixing screw 34 is threadedly connected to the top of the caliper bracket 33. The first fixing screw 34 extends into the groove and abuts against the secondary scale 352. A second fixing screw 353 is threadedly connected to the secondary scale 352. The second fixing screw 353 passes through the secondary scale 352 and abuts against the main scale 351.

[0026] In this preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the eddy current sensor 2 is fitted with a fixing ring 32, and the fixing ring 32 is threadedly connected to the sensor bracket 31.

[0027] In this preferred embodiment, adjusting nuts 37 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the test bench 3.

[0028] The calibration method for eddy current sensors is as follows:

[0029] 1) such as Figure 1 As shown, the eddy current sensor 2 is removed from the compressor 1, and the extension cable 21 on the eddy current sensor 2 is connected to the input terminal of the preamplifier 22. The output terminal is connected to the monitoring controller 23 and the multimeter 24 respectively using the signal line 25.

[0030] 2) Adjust the caliper 35 on the test bench 3, tighten the auxiliary scale 352 with the first fixing screw 34, insert the eddy current sensor 2 into the through hole of the sensor bracket 31, so that the gap between the steel plate 36 and the eddy current sensor 2 is about 2mm. The steel plate 36 is used to simulate the coupling. Observe the output of the voltmeter display ±0.2V, and tighten the eddy current sensor 2 with the fixing ring 32.

[0031] 3) Adjust the current scale of caliper 35 by 2mm, decreasing the gap by 0.25mm each time, until a gap of 0.75mm is reached. Record the output voltage at each point (if the gap exceeds 2mm or is 0mm, it indicates that the eddy current sensor 2 is damaged, cannot be displayed in the monitoring controller 23, and the trend cannot be recorded). Observe the fluctuation of each voltage value. No large voltage fluctuation indicates that the eddy current sensor 2 is qualified and the trend can be queried in the monitoring controller 23. Figure 4 The curve style of B in the middle is qualified and can be installed and used. Figure 4 The curve style of A in the middle is unqualified.

[0032] 4) If the test platform 3 is not level, the level of the test platform 3 can be adjusted by fine-tuning the adjusting nut 37 under the test platform 3, so as to measure the eddy current sensor 2 more accurately.

[0033] The embodiments described above are merely preferred solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model in any way. Other variations and modifications are possible without departing from the technical solutions described in the claims.

[0034] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
