DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In the description of the present application, it should be explained that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting", "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected, it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected, it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, it can be the communication inside two elements. For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood through specific circumstances.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] The present embodiment provides a kind of shaft electric quantity monitoring protection device, as shown in Figure Figure 1 It includes shaft voltage measurement module, shaft current measurement module, shaft insulation measurement module, high-performance PLC controller, display module (LED nixie tube and liquid crystal touch screen), communication module (RS485 interface, MODBUS RTU protocol is followed) and input-output module, above-mentioned shaft voltage measurement module, shaft current measurement module, shaft insulation measurement module, display module, communication module and input-output module are respectively electrically connected with PLC controller.

[0029] Shaft voltage measurement module: shaft voltage measurement uses the shaft voltage carbon brush 1 and the ground carbon brush 9 arranged on both sides of the rotor of the generator shaft 8, and the shaft voltage generated during the rotation of the shaft 8 is input into the measuring device through the two carbon brushes. The device first filters the signal inside. Because there are various electromagnetic interferences in the actual operating environment, filtering can effectively remove these interference signals to ensure the purity of the collected shaft voltage signal. After filtering, the signal is analyzed and calculated through advanced digital signal processing technology. This technology can separate components of different frequencies from complex voltage signals to obtain the real-time values of the effective value, fundamental wave (50Hz) and third harmonic (150Hz) components of the shaft voltage. Finally, the calculated effective value is sent to the PLC for subsequent calculation, judgment and processing, providing a basis for evaluating whether the shaft voltage is normal and whether an alarm signal needs to be sent.

[0030] Shaft current measurement module: a shaft current sensor 7 is used, and shaft current monitoring is achieved by surrounding the shaft current sensor 7 around the generator shaft 8. When there is current flowing through the shaft 8, according to the principle of electromagnetic induction, the shaft current sensor will convert the shaft current into an electromagnetic signal, and then output the corresponding current signal. After the current signal is input into the monitoring device, the device inside also needs to be filtered to remove interference components. The filtered shaft current signal is then calculated through a specific algorithm and processing circuit to obtain the fundamental wave and harmonic components of the shaft current. Similar to shaft voltage measurement, the effective value of the shaft current is also extracted and sent to the PLC. The PLC judges the shaft current effective value according to the preset alarm threshold. Once the shaft current exceeds the set alarm value, the corresponding alarm action will be triggered to prompt the staff that the unit may have an abnormality.

[0031] Shaft insulation measurement module: shaft insulation monitoring uses a shaft insulation preprocessor and a rear-end device (the structure of the utility model) to work together. The insulation mechanism of the generator rotor front side is usually set with a shaft ring 6 insulation layer or a guide shoe 5 insulation base. The shaft insulation preprocessor is responsible for real-time sampling of the insulation resistance value between the insulation layer copper foil 2 and the shaft 8, and the insulation layer copper foil 2 and the shaft ring 6 (or the guide shoe insulation base). (Note: The insulation layer copper foil, the shaft, and the shaft ring are connected to the shaft insulation preprocessor through carbon brushes 11, 9, and 12, respectively.) After the data obtained by sampling is calculated and processed inside the shaft insulation preprocessor, it is transmitted to the rear-end monitoring device (the structure of the utility model) through the RS485 bus. After receiving the data, the rear-end monitoring device further analyzes and processes it, judges the shaft insulation state according to the preset insulation performance standard and alarm threshold. If the shaft insulation measurement value is lower than the set alarm value, the rear-end monitoring device will make an alarm judgment and transmit the relevant information to the PLC, which will control the alarm signal to remind the staff to pay attention to the shaft insulation and take timely measures to prevent more serious faults caused by shaft insulation problems.

[0032] PLC controller: high-performance PLC is adopted, and the model thereof is ST30, which receives signals from shaft voltage, shaft current and shaft insulation measurement module, and performs comprehensive calculation processing, and according to preset alarm threshold, each parameter is judged in real time, and once the parameter exceeds the threshold, an alarm signal is triggered immediately, and relevant process values are forwarded.

[0033] Display module: shaft voltage, shaft current and shaft insulation measurement values are displayed through LED nixie tubes, so that field operators can quickly read data. Communication module: integrated RS485 communication interface, MODBUS RTU protocol is followed, data remote transmission and sharing can be realized by connecting with a whole plant computer monitoring system, and remote monitoring and management are facilitated.

[0035] Input and output module: two-stage alarm signals can be output for shaft voltage, shaft current and shaft insulation parameters, so as to remind workers to take measures in time.

[0036] As shown in Figure 2 The utility model discloses a kind of shaft voltage, shaft current and shaft insulation measurement devices, as shown in Fig. 1, all circuits of the utility model are provided with working power supply by two-way switching power supply PW1, PW2 as main and standby for each other;T1, T2, T3 are shaft voltage measurement module, shaft current measurement module, shaft insulation measurement module respectively;3 parts of module input corresponding signal collected to control core PLC (U1), after data depth processing by PLC, output shaft voltage, shaft current, shaft insulation parameter value, corresponding by LED1, LED2, LED3 digital display module and touch screen TPC two kinds of display at present, digital module and touch screen have man-machine bidirectional operation function between PLC, core PLC will be measured data after processing output analog quantity, and switching value alarm;The system is communicated with external communication system in real time by RS485.

In this interface, alarm parameter setting (including shaft voltage, shaft current, shaft insulation alarm parameter), user management (setting login password), system time setting, MODBUS communication setting and other operations can be performed. Click the "confirm" button after modifying the parameters to make the parameters effective.

[0044] During the operation of the device, the shaft voltage measurement module, the shaft current measurement module and the shaft insulation measurement module collect data in real time, and transmit the processed data to the PLC. The PLC judges according to the preset alarm threshold value, and when the shaft voltage and the shaft current exceed the upper threshold value, or the shaft insulation is lower than the lower threshold value, the corresponding alarm signal is triggered immediately. At this time, the state indicating lamp (Voltage H HH, Current H HH, Insulation H HH) is on, reminding the on-site staff.
