[0004] As in the above-mentioned conventional technology, various methods have been disclosed for the maintenance and inspection of the main pump, but the current situation is that no effective method has yet been established for the maintenance and inspection of the system piping (especially the small piping) of the auxiliary equipment. Conventionally, pumping stations have performed regular maintenance operations in preparation for drainage operations during floods, but when there is no water to drain or in an environment where drainage is not possible, only visual inspections of the appearance of the auxiliary equipment and confirmation of its operation are performed without operating the main pump.
[0005] By simply visually checking the appearance of the auxiliary equipment or checking its operation, it is difficult to notice abnormalities such as when the auxiliary equipment's system piping is starting to become clogged with dirt or rust, when the system piping is starting to become thin or pitted due to corrosion, or when the system piping is starting to crack due to aging or collision with foreign objects, and the discovery of such abnormalities may be delayed. This problem also occurs when the main pump is able to drain during maintenance operation.

[0025] Hereinafter, a vibration diagnostic device for a pump station system piping according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, a pump station that operates for the purpose of preventing flooding during heavy rain or the like will be exemplified as an application example of the present invention.
[0026] (First embodiment) FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a pump station 1 according to a first embodiment. 1 includes a plurality of main pumps 10 and a plurality of auxiliary machines 20 that operate the main pumps 10. The pump station 1 includes four horizontal shaft pumps as the main pumps 10. The pump station 1 also includes, as the auxiliary machines 20, a vacuum pump 21, a fuel transfer pump 22, an air compressor 23, a cooling water pump 24, a seal water pump 25, and the like.
[0027] The main pump 10 is a horizontal shaft pump in which an impeller is attached to a main shaft extending in a horizontal direction. The main pump 10 may be a vertical shaft pump in which an impeller is attached to a main shaft extending in a vertical direction. The main pump 10 is driven by a drive device 15. The drive device 15 includes a rotating machine 4 equipped with an internal combustion engine (such as a diesel engine) and a reducer 5 connected to the rotating machine 4.
[0028] A reducer 5 is connected to the drive shaft of the rotating machine 4, and a main shaft of a main pump 10 is connected to the reducer 5. By driving the rotating machine 4, the main shaft of the main pump 10 rotates via the reducer 5, and the water in a suction tank (not shown) is pumped up by the rotation of an impeller attached to the main shaft, and the water is discharged into a discharge tank (not shown).
[0029] The vacuum pump 21 constitutes a water-filling system 30 that sucks air from the main pump 10 and fills the main pump 10 with priming water when the main pump 10 is started. The vacuum pump 21 is connected to the main pump 10 via system piping 30a. The system piping 30a is provided with a water-filling detector 14 for detecting whether the main pump 10 is full of priming water, and an intake valve 31 (motor valve or solenoid valve) for opening and closing the system piping 30a.
[0030] The vacuum pump 21 is driven by an electric motor 21a. The vacuum pump 21 is, for example, a water-sealed vacuum pump, and is connected to a water supply pipe 32 for supplying makeup water on its intake side, and to a discharge pipe 33b for discharging the sucked air on its exhaust side. The water supply pipe 32 is connected to a water tank 34, and is provided with a water supply valve 35 (usually a manual valve) for opening and closing the water supply pipe 32.
[0031] The fuel transfer pump 22 pumps up fuel for the rotating machine 4. This fuel transfer pump 22 is driven by an electric motor 22a. The fuel transfer pump 22 is provided in a fuel supply pipe 40. In the fuel supply pipe 40, the fuel is pumped up from an underground oil tank 6 that stores fuel to a fuel dispense tank 7 installed at a predetermined height above ground by driving the fuel transfer pump 22, and the fuel is supplied from the fuel dispense tank 7 to the rotating machine 4. By storing fuel in the fuel dispense tank 7, it is possible to supply fuel to the rotating machine 4 at a required supply pressure even while the fuel transfer pump 22 is not driven.
[0032] The air compressor 23 constitutes a compressed air system 50 that supplies compressed air to the rotating machine 4 of the main pump 10. The air compressor 23 is connected to the air tank 8 via system piping 50a. The air compressor 23 fills the air tank 8 with compressed air (starting air) for starting the rotating machine 4. The air compressor 23 is driven by an electric motor 23a. In the system piping 50a, compressed air compressed by the driving of the air compressor 23 fills the air tank 8, and the compressed air is supplied from the air tank 8 to the rotating machine 4. By storing compressed air in the air tank 8, the compressed air can be supplied to the rotating machine 4 to start it up.
[0033] The cooling water pump 24 constitutes a cooling water system 60 that supplies cooling water to the drive unit 15 that drives the main pump 10. The cooling water pump 24 is driven by an electric motor 24a. The cooling water pump 24 is connected to the heat exchanger 9 of the drive unit 15 via a system piping 60a. The heat exchanger 9 shown in FIG. 1 is provided in the rotating machine 4, but may also be provided in the reduction gear 5. In the system piping 60a, cooling water is pumped up from a cooling water tank 61 by the driving of the cooling water pump 24, and the cooling water is supplied to the heat exchanger 9 of each drive unit 15. In the system piping 60a, the cooling water supplied to the heat exchanger 9 returns to the cooling water tank 61 and circulates.
[0034] Raw water (river water, etc.) is supplied to the cooling water tank 61 via system piping 60b. A water intake pump 72 is provided in the system piping 60b. This water intake pump 72 is driven by an electric motor 72a. In the system piping 60b, raw water is taken in from a water intake pit 71 by driving the water intake pump 72, and the raw water from which foreign matter such as sand and mud has been removed by filtering devices such as a strainer 73 and a sand separator 74 is supplied to the cooling water tank 61.
[0035] In addition to the cooling water pump 24, the cooling water tank 61 is provided with a seal water pump 25. The seal water pump 25 constitutes a seal water system 80 that supplies seal water liquid to the shaft seal portion 16 of the main pump 10. The seal water pump 25 is driven by an electric motor 25a. The seal water pump 25 is connected to the shaft seal portion 16 of the main pump 10 via system piping 80a. The system piping 80a is provided with a seal water valve 81 (motor valve or solenoid valve) that opens and closes a branch pipe 81a connected to the shaft seal portion 16 of each main pump 10. In the system piping 80a, the seal water liquid is pumped up from the cooling water tank 61 by driving the seal water pump 25, and the seal water liquid is supplied to the shaft seal portion 16 of each main pump 10.
[0036] FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific location W of the system piping 60a of the cooling water system 60 according to the first embodiment. As shown in Fig. 2, system piping 60a of cooling water system 60 has an upstream piping from cooling water tank 61 to drive unit 15 (heat exchanger 9) in the building of pump station 1, and a downstream piping from drive unit 15 (heat exchanger 9) to cooling water tank 61. Note that drive unit 15 shown in Fig. 2 is installed on installation floor 2 in the same building as main pump 10 (in the case of a horizontal shaft pump).
[0037] The upstream piping of the system piping 60a is provided with, in this order from the upstream side, a cooling water pump 24, a check valve 62, and an on-off valve 63. Therefore, while the cooling water pump 24 is stopped, a specific location W where water always accumulates is generated downstream (secondary side) of the check valve 62 in the upstream piping of the system piping 60a unless the water is drained.
[0038] An automatic air vent valve 64 is provided in the downstream piping of the system piping 60a to prevent the water flow from continuing due to the siphon principle after the cooling water pump 24 is stopped. Therefore, the downstream piping of the system piping 60a is filled with water while the cooling water pump 24 is operating, and is empty while the cooling water pump 24 is stopped.
[0039] Fig. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific location W of the system piping 80a of the seal water system 80 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV shown in Fig. 3. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a portion of the system piping 80a of the sealing water system 80 is placed within a pit 2a provided on the installation floor 2 within the building of the pump station 1 in order to ensure a maintenance passage within the building.
[0040] As shown in Fig. 3, the pit 2a is a groove that is lower than the floor surface of the installation floor 2, and its opening is covered by a pit cover 2b. As shown in Fig. 4, the system piping 80a is bent in a U-shape and arranged in the pit 2a. Therefore, in the system piping 80a, a specific location W where water always accumulates is generated at least in the part arranged in the pit 2a while the seal water pump 25 is stopped, unless the water is drained. Note that the part of the system piping 80a arranged in the pit 2a also corresponds to the specific location L where the installation position is the lowest in the system piping 80a.
[0041] Fig. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific location L of the system piping 30a of the full-water system 30 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VI-VI shown in Fig. 5. 5, the system piping 30a of the full-water system 30 is connected to the upper part of the main pump 10. In the system piping 30a, air is sucked in by the vacuum pump 21, and when the main pump 10 becomes full, the float of the full-water detector 14 blocks the air sucking.
[0042] 6, in order to ensure a maintenance passageway within the building, this system piping 30a may also be placed in a pit 2a provided in the installation floor 2. The portion of the system piping 30a placed in the pit 2a corresponds to a specific location L having the lowest installation position in the system piping 30a.
[0043] Incidentally, when the float of the full water detector 14 cuts off the water, air containing a small amount of water may be sucked in just before the water is cut off, causing water to enter the system piping 30a. In addition, due to changes in temperature, humidity, and pressure, the saturated vapor pressure may be exceeded, and water may be generated in the system piping 30a. Such water tends to accumulate at a specific point L, which is the lowest installed position in the system piping 30a.
[0044] Next, a description will be given of a vibration diagnosis device 200 for pump station system piping that can effectively diagnose abnormalities and their precursors at specific locations W and L where water always accumulates and / or where water is likely to accumulate and rust or corrosion is likely to occur, as described above.
[0045] FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a vibration diagnosis device 200 for a pump station system piping according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, the vibration diagnosis device 200 includes a vibration device 201 that vibrates a specific location of the system piping 100 of the above-mentioned auxiliary equipment 20, a measuring device 202 that measures the vibration of the system piping 100 caused by the vibration, and a data processing device 203 that diagnoses the system piping 100 based on the measurement data of the measuring device 202.
[0046] 1 described above, the system piping 100 to be diagnosed includes at least one of the system piping 60a of the cooling water system 60 that supplies cooling water to the drive unit 15 of the main pump 10, the system piping 30a of the water filling system 30 that fills the main pump 10 with priming water, the system piping 80a of the seal water system 80 that supplies seal water liquid to the shaft seal portion 16 of the main pump 10, the system piping 50a of the compressed air system 50 that supplies compressed air to the drive unit 15 of the main pump 10, and the system piping of the drainage system (not shown) of the pump station 1. The system piping of the drainage system includes the on-site drainage piping when a floor drain pump that drains miscellaneous water in the pump station 1 is installed, and the drainage piping for draining drains from the various pumps of the main pump 10 and the auxiliary equipment 20.
[0047] The vibration device 201 of this embodiment drops a weight 210 to vibrate a specific location of the system piping 100. Specifically, the vibration device 201 includes a rope 220 that suspends the weight 210 and a hoist 230 that winds up the rope 220. The hoist 230 includes a hoist drum 231 that winds up the rope 220, a pair of pivot supports 232 that pivotally support the hoist drum 231, and an electric motor 233 that rotates the hoist drum 231. There is no particular designation for the method of fixing the rope 220 to the hoist drum 231, and the rope 220 may be fixed to the hoist drum 231 by a set screw or by bonding. The specifications of the electric motor 233 are not specified, but a motor with a relatively slow rotation is preferable.
[0048] The shape, specifications, and features of weight 210 may be selected so as to be suitable for striking system piping 100. Measuring device 202 measures the impact sound or vibration generated when weight 210 is dropped to strike system piping 100. Measuring device 202 may be a sound level meter that measures the impact sound emitted from system piping 100 or a vibrometer that measures the vibration of system piping 100, and the performance (precision) of measuring device 202 may be selected so as to be suitable for measuring the impact sound or vibration of system piping 100.
[0049] The diameter, material, shape, and thickness of the system piping 100 are not specified, but most of the system piping 100 is carbon steel pipes such as SGP, SGPW, STPG, etc., stainless steel pipes such as SUS pipes, copper pipes, etc. Also, the system piping 100 is a circular pipe (so-called small pipe) with a diameter of about 8A to 300A (8 mm to 300 mm) according to the JIS standard.
[0050] The system piping 100 includes a connection portion 101 for connecting the pipes to each other. The connection portion 101 shown in Fig. 7 is a flange connection, but may be a screw connection or a welded connection. Such a system piping 100 is supported by a plurality of pipe supports 102. Next, a preferred position of a vibration point P for vibrating the system piping 100 when performing vibration diagnosis on the system piping 100 will be described.
[0051] FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a preferable vibration point P in the vibration diagnosis device 200 for a pump station system piping according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, it is preferable that the vibration point P for vibrating the system piping 100 includes at least one of vibration points P1 to P4.
[0052] The excitation point P1 is a connection 101 between pipes of the system piping 100. The excitation point P2 is between the connection 101 and the next adjacent connection 101. Specifically, the excitation point P2 should be located at a position of A / 2, where A is the distance from the connection 101 to the next adjacent connection 101. The excitation point P1 directly vibrates the connection 101 where rust, corrosion, etc. are relatively likely to occur, making it easier to find abnormalities or signs of such problems. In addition, the excitation point P2 is somewhat away from the connection 101, making it easier to find rust, corrosion, etc. other than at the connection 101.
[0053] The excitation point P3 is a pipe support 102 that supports the system piping 100. The excitation point P4 is between the pipe support 102 and the adjacent pipe support 102. Specifically, the excitation point P4 may be located at a position of B / 2, where B is the distance from the pipe support 102 to the adjacent pipe support 102. Since the system piping 100 is fixed at the excitation point P3 by the pipe support 102, vibration can be measured under the same conditions. In addition, since the excitation point P4 is between the pipe supports 102, the amplitude of the system piping 100 is likely to be large, making it easier to measure the sound and vibration of the system piping 100 with the measuring device 202.
[0054] Next, the operation of the vibration device 201 will be described with reference to Figures 9 and 10. In the following description, the vibration device 201 is automatically operated using a timer switch, but the vibration device 201 may be operated by an operator manually turning on the switch during regular inspection, for example.
[0055] Fig. 9 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the operation of the vibration device 201 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the vibration device 201 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9(a), the vibration device 201 includes a power supply unit 240 that supplies power to the hoisting machine 230 (electric motor 233), and a timer switch 250 (hereinafter referred to as the first timer switch 250) that cuts off the supply of power from the power supply unit 240 to the hoisting machine 230 a predetermined time after the hoisting machine 230 starts to wind up, causes the rope 220 to rewind due to the weight of the weight 210, and drops the weight 210 into the system piping 100.
[0056] Furthermore, the vibration device 201 of this embodiment includes a second timer switch 260 that resumes the supply of power from the power supply unit 240 to the hoisting machine 230 after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the supply of power from the power supply unit 240 to the hoisting machine 230 was cut off. The set period of the second timer switch 260 is preferably one month. The set period of the second timer switch 260 may be set according to, for example, a regular inspection period, and may be set longer or shorter than one month.
[0057] In the normal operation (standby state) of the vibration device 201, as shown in Fig. 9(a), the rope 220 is fully stretched and the weight 210 is in contact with the system piping 100. In addition, in this normal operation, the first timer switch 250 and the second timer switch 260 are both OFF, and power supply from the power supply unit 240 to the hoisting machine 230 is cut off. The second timer switch 260 is set to be turned ON after the above-mentioned predetermined period T2 (for example, one month) in this state.
[0058] That is, when the vibration device 201 is in normal operation, the second timer switch 260 starts measuring a preset predetermined period T2 (step S1) as shown in Fig. 10. When the predetermined period T2 has elapsed since the second timer switch 260 started measuring (step S2), the second timer switch 260 turns ON (step S20). When the second timer switch 260 turns ON, the first timer switch 250 also turns ON (step S10), the power supply unit 240 is established (step S21), and the electric motor 233 of the hoisting machine 230 starts operating (step S22).
[0059] When the electric motor 233 starts operating, the hoist drum 231 rotates, and the rope 220 fixed to the hoist drum 231 is wound up, as shown in Fig. 9(b). When the first timer switch 250 is turned ON in step S10, it starts measuring a preset hoisting time T1 (step S11). The hoisting time T1 may be set by calculating in advance the time it takes for the hoist 230 to hoist the rope 220.
[0060] When a predetermined winding time T1 has elapsed since the start of measurement by the first timer switch 250 (step S12), the first timer switch 250 turns OFF (step S13). Then, the supply of power from the power supply unit 240 to the hoisting machine 230 is cut off, and the electric motor 233 of the hoisting machine 230 stops (step S14). This causes the rope 220 to unwind due to the weight of the weight 210, and the weight 210 falls into the system piping 100, causing the system piping 100 to vibrate, as shown in FIG. 9(c).
[0061] Furthermore, when the first timer switch 250 is turned OFF, the second timer switch 260 is also turned OFF (step S23), and the second timer switch 260 starts measuring the set predetermined period T2 again (step S1). After that, the normal time shown in Fig. 9(a) is restored, and after the above-mentioned predetermined period T2 (for example, one month) has elapsed, the second timer switch 260 is turned ON again, and the above-mentioned flow is repeated.
[0062] The measuring device 202 shown in Fig. 7 measures the vibration of the system piping 100 which is periodically vibrated. The measurement data of the measuring device 202 is transmitted to the data processing device 203 by wire or wirelessly. The data processing device 203 performs real-time analysis, FFT analysis, etc., accumulates the measurement data, and manages the trends thereof. Note that the real-time analysis, FFT analysis, etc. performed on the measuring device 202 side may be transmitted to the data processing device 203. Furthermore, the data processing device 203 may be placed not in the vicinity of the system piping 100 but in a remote monitoring room or the like. By performing such an automatic vibration diagnosis of the system piping 100, it becomes possible to detect abnormalities and their signs in parts that were not detected before, and to manage trends, and it also becomes possible to reduce manpower.
[0063] Fig. 11 is a graph showing frequency analysis of measurement data (initial measurement data) of the measuring device 202 by the data processing device 203 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 12 is a graph showing frequency analysis of measurement data (measurement data when an abnormality occurs) of the measuring device 202 by the data processing device 203 according to the first embodiment. Figs. 11 and 12 show examples of the results of FFT analysis with frequency on the horizontal axis and sound pressure level on the vertical axis. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the data processing device 203 performs frequency analysis on the vibration results of the system piping 100 to diagnose the system piping 100.
[0064] As shown in Figures 11 and 12, when observing the frequency component (dominant frequency) of a certain peak surrounded by reference symbol 300, it is clearly higher in Figure 12 than in Figure 11, and it is clear that some kind of abnormality has occurred in Figure 12. Since the natural frequency of system piping 100 differs depending on each plant and each location, as shown in Figure 11, an abnormality or a sign of an abnormality in system piping 100 is diagnosed by comparing with initial measurement data.
[0065] When a blockage occurs in the system piping 100, a change occurs at a specific frequency, or the vibration waveform itself changes. The measurement data at the time of occurrence of the abnormality may change, for example, by increasing or decreasing the sound pressure level at one or more of the dominant frequencies of the initial measurement data shown in Fig. 11. Also, the measurement data at the time of occurrence of the abnormality may have a dominant frequency that is different or disappears, for example, compared to the initial measurement data shown in Fig. 11. The data processing device 203 detects abnormalities and their precursors in the system piping 100 by observing the above-mentioned changes.
[0066] As described above, the vibration diagnosis device 200 for pump station system piping according to the present embodiment is provided in a pump station 1 provided with the main pump 10 and the auxiliary equipment 20 that operates the main pump 10, and includes a vibration device 201 that vibrates a specific location of the system piping 100 of the auxiliary equipment 20, a measuring device 202 that measures the vibration of the system piping 100 caused by the vibration, and a data processing device 203 that diagnoses the system piping 100 based on measurement data from the measuring device 202. With this configuration, it is possible to find abnormalities or signs of abnormalities in the system piping 100 that could not be found by merely visually checking the appearance of the auxiliary equipment 20 or checking the operation of the auxiliary equipment 20 in the related art.
[0067] In this embodiment, the system piping 100 includes at least one of the system piping 100 of a cooling water system that supplies cooling water to the drive device of the main pump 10, the system piping 100 of a full water system that fills the main pump 10 with priming water, the system piping 100 of a seal water system that supplies seal water liquid to the shaft seal portion of the main pump 10, the system piping 100 of a compressed air system that supplies compressed air to the drive device of the main pump 10, and the system piping 100 of a drainage system of the pump station 1. Since these system pipings 100 are prone to rust and corrosion, this configuration makes it easier to find abnormalities and their signs.
[0068] In the present embodiment, the vibration device 201 periodically vibrates a specific portion of the system piping 100. With this configuration, for example, in a pump station 1 where maintenance operation is not possible, the system piping 100 can be periodically diagnosed about once a month. Also, in a pump station 1 where maintenance operation is possible, the system piping 100 can be periodically diagnosed by performing the diagnosis in accordance with the maintenance operation period.
[0069] In addition, in this embodiment, the vibration device 201 drops the weight 210 to vibrate a specific location of the system piping 100. With this configuration, a certain amount of impact can be applied to the system piping 100, so that the vibration of the system piping 100 can be measured periodically under the same conditions, and the accuracy of the vibration diagnosis can be improved compared to the case where an operator vibrates the system piping 100 with a hammer or the like, for example.
[0070] In this embodiment, the vibration device 201 includes a rope 220 for suspending the weight 210, a hoist 230 for winding up the rope 220, a power supply unit 240 for supplying power to the hoist 230, and a first timer switch 250 for cutting off the supply of power from the power supply unit 240 to the hoist 230 a predetermined time after the hoist 230 starts to wind up, causing the rope 220 to be unwound by the weight of the weight 210, and causing the weight 210 to drop into the system piping 100. With this configuration, the weight 210 can be automatically dropped into the system piping 100 to perform vibration diagnosis.
[0071] In addition, in this embodiment, the vibration excitation device 201 includes a second timer switch 260 that resumes the supply of power from the power supply unit 240 to the hoisting machine 230 after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the supply of power from the power supply unit 240 to the hoisting machine 230 was cut off. According to this configuration, in combination with the first timer switch 250, the weight 210 can be periodically dropped into the system piping 100 to perform vibration diagnosis.
[0072] In this embodiment, the data processing device 203 diagnoses the system piping 100 by comparing the measurement data of the measuring device 202 with the measurement data previously measured by the measuring device 202. For example, by comparing the above-mentioned initial measurement data with the data at the time of occurrence of an abnormality during inspection, differences and changes from the initial measurement data can be found, and abnormalities such as clogging due to foreign matter or rust, thinning due to corrosion, and cracks can be found early, enabling trend management of the system piping 100. In addition, by finding certain characteristics in each abnormal state such as clogging, thinning due to corrosion, and cracks in the system piping 100 or the analysis results at intermediate stages, and using them as teacher data, abnormalities in the system piping 100 and their precursors can be found.
[0073] In this embodiment, the vibration points P that vibrate the system piping 100 include at least one of the connection 101 between the pipes of the system piping 100, the space between the connection 101 and the adjacent connection 101, the pipe support 102 that supports the system piping 100, and the space between the pipe support 102 and the adjacent pipe support 102. In order to vibrate the same position, it is preferable to mark the vibration points P with a seal, paint, or the like to improve the accuracy of the vibration diagnosis. Also, a vibration device 201 may be installed at each of the vibration points P1 to P4.
[0074] At excitation point P1, rust, corrosion, and the like are relatively likely to occur at connection 101, so it is easy to find abnormalities and signs of such at excitation point P1. At excitation point P2, which is somewhat away from connection 101, it is easy to find rust, corrosion, and the like at parts other than connection 101. At excitation point P3, the system piping 100 is fixed by piping support 102, so vibration can be measured under the same conditions. At excitation point P4, which is between piping supports 102, the amplitude of the system piping 100 becomes large, making it easy to measure the sound and vibration of the system piping 100 with measuring device 202.
[0075] Furthermore, by setting two or more excitation points P, it is possible to diagnose the difference between each measurement value (frequency change or attenuation) and identify the location of the abnormality. Also, by capturing the trend of change in the measurement value in accordance with the change in each measurement value (change over time), more accurate diagnosis is possible. Note that by attaching a measuring device 202 to one of the excitation points P (for example, excitation point P3 which can utilize the piping support 102) and sequentially changing the excitation points P1 to P4, it is possible to identify the abnormality from the difference in response time.
[0076] In the present embodiment, the specific locations of the system piping 100 include a specific location W where water always accumulates in the system piping 100. This configuration makes it possible to diagnose abnormalities and their signs in the specific location W where rust and corrosion are particularly likely to occur.
[0077] In the present embodiment, the specific locations of the system piping 100 include a specific location L that is the lowest in the system piping 100. This configuration makes it possible to diagnose abnormalities and their signs in the specific location L where rust and corrosion are particularly likely to occur.
[0078] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the data processing device 203 performs frequency analysis of the measurement data of the measuring device 202 to diagnose the system piping 100. This is because the diagnosis of the system piping 100 is performed by frequency analysis of the vibration results of the system piping 100, which makes it easier to compare. Note that the frequency analysis may be performed in real time or / and by FFT analysis as described above to extract differences and points of change.
[0079] Second embodiment Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following description, the same or equivalent configurations as those in the above-described embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be simplified or omitted.
[0080] FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing a vibration diagnosis device 200 for a pump station system piping according to the second embodiment. 13, the vibration diagnosis device 200 of the second embodiment differs from the above-mentioned embodiments in that an arm 270 is rotated to vibrate a specific portion of the system piping 100. A weight 271 for vibrating the system piping 100 is attached to one end (tip end) of the arm 270.
[0081] 13 includes a support shaft 280 that rotatably supports the other end side (base end side) of an arm 270, and an actuator 281 connected to the support shaft 280. The actuator 281 is, for example, an electric motor, and lifts the arm 270 to a predetermined angle by rotating the support shaft 280. Then, as in the first embodiment described above, by stopping the electric motor with a timer switch or the like, the arm 270 falls freely, and the weight 271 describes an arc trajectory and hits the system piping 100.
[0082] According to the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment described above, a constant impact can be applied to the system piping 100, so that the vibration of the system piping 100 can be measured periodically under the same conditions. This improves the accuracy of the vibration diagnosis compared to, for example, a case where an operator vibrates the system piping 100 with a hammer or the like.
[0083] In the second embodiment, the following modifications can be adopted.
[0084] FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram showing a vibration diagnosis device 200 for a pump station system piping according to a modified example of the second embodiment. The vibration device 201 of the vibration diagnosis device 200 shown in FIG. 14 includes a support shaft 280 that rotatably supports an arm 270, a first weight 271 provided on one end side of the arm 270 relative to the support shaft 280, a receiving tray portion 272 provided on the other end side of the arm 270 relative to the support shaft 280, and a weight adding device 282 that adds a second weight 273 to the receiving tray portion 272.
[0085] 14 is formed, for example, in a U-shape in cross section, and is supported by a support shaft 280 so that one end side where a first weight 271 is provided is normally lowered. A partition plate 274 forming a receiving tray portion 272 is fixed to the inside of the arm 270 on the other end side of the arm 270 closer to the support shaft 280. The other end of the arm 270 is an open discharge port 275, and when the other end side of the arm 270 is lowered, the second weight 273 accumulated in the receiving tray portion 272 is discharged to a drain discharge portion 283.
[0086] The weight adding device 282 throws liquid such as water or solid such as sand as the second weight 273 into the receiving tray 272. When the second weight 273 is water, a valve may be provided in a pipe branched from a water supply equipment pipe that is always filled with water (pressure maintained) or a system equipment pipe that is filled with water by operation, and the water may be added to the receiving tray 272 by opening the valve. When the weight adding device 282 is automated, the valve may be an electric valve and a control for periodically opening the valve may be incorporated. When the second weight 273 is a solid, the solid can be thrown into the receiving tray 272 by a belt conveyor or the like, but when the device is large-scale, the solid may be added manually.
[0087] According to the vibration device 201 having the above configuration, when the second weight 273 is added to the receiving tray portion 272, at a certain timing, the arm 270 rotates about the support shaft 280 by the second weight 273, and one end side of the arm 270 rises. When the one end side of the arm 270 rises, the other end side of the arm 270 descends, and the second weight 273 accumulated in the receiving tray portion 272 is discharged from the discharge port 275 at the other end of the arm 270. Then, the one end side of the arm 270, which has become relatively heavier than the other end side of the arm 270, descends due to gravity, and the first weight 271 draws an arc trajectory and collides with the system piping 100.
[0088] According to this modified example of the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment described above, a constant impact can be applied to the system piping 100, so that the vibration of the system piping 100 can be measured periodically under the same conditions. This improves the accuracy of the vibration diagnosis compared to, for example, a case where an operator vibrates the system piping 100 with a hammer or the like.
[0089] FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing a vibration diagnosis device 200 for a pump station system piping according to a modified example of the second embodiment. The vibration device 201 of the vibration diagnosis device 200 shown in FIG. 15 includes a spring 290 that biases the arm 270 toward the system piping 100, an actuator 281 that moves the arm 270 away from the system piping 100 and energizes (contracts) the spring 290, and a power supply unit 240 that supplies power to the actuator 281.
[0090] The arm 270 is supported by a support shaft 280 at a middle position in the longitudinal direction. The spring 290 biases one end of the arm 270 on the opposite side of the support shaft 280 to one end of the arm 270 on which the first weight 271 is provided. The spring 290 is supported by a support base 291, and biases the other end of the arm 270 so as to press the one end of the arm 270 against the system piping 100. The actuator 281 is, for example, an electric motor, and is connected to the support shaft 280. The actuator 281 may be a solenoid or the like as long as it can energize (contract) the spring 290.
[0091] As in the first embodiment described above, the vibration device 201 shown in FIG. 15 includes a first timer switch 250 that cuts off the supply of power from the power supply unit 240 to the actuator 281 a predetermined time after the actuator 281 starts to drive, rotates the arm 270 by the force of a spring 290, and causes the arm 270 to collide with the system piping 100, and a second timer switch 260 that resumes the supply of power from the power supply unit 240 to the actuator 281 a predetermined time after the supply of power from the power supply unit 240 to the actuator 281 is cut off.
[0092] 15, in the normal state (standby state), the spring 290 of the vibration device 201 is in an extended state, and the first weight 271 is in contact with the system piping 100. In addition, in this normal state, the first timer switch 250 and the second timer switch 260 are both OFF, and power supply from the power supply unit 240 to the actuator 281 is cut off. The second timer switch 260 is set to be turned ON after the above-mentioned predetermined period (for example, one month) in this state.
[0093] FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the operation of a vibration device 201 according to a modified example of the second embodiment. When a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the second timer switch 260 started measuring, the second timer switch 260 is turned ON, the first timer switch 250 is also turned ON, the power supply unit 240 is established, and the actuator 281 starts operating. As shown in Fig. 16(a), the actuator 281 separates the arm 270 from the system piping 100 and stores energy in the spring 290.
[0094] When the first timer switch 250 is turned ON, the first timer switch 250 starts measuring a preset predetermined time. The predetermined time may be set by calculating in advance the time it takes for the actuator 281 to compress the spring 290 to a predetermined length. When the predetermined time has elapsed since the start of measurement by the first timer switch 250, the first timer switch 250 turns OFF, and the supply of power from the power supply unit 240 to the actuator 281 is cut off.
[0095] Then, the energy stored in the spring 290 is released, and as shown in FIG. 16(b), the arm 270 rotates about the support shaft 280 due to the bias of the spring 290, and the first weight 271 strikes the system piping 100 while tracing an arc orbit. According to this modified example of the second embodiment, a constant impact can be applied to the system piping 100 by the force of the spring 290, so that the vibration of the system piping 100 can be measured periodically under the same conditions. This improves the accuracy of the vibration diagnosis compared to, for example, a case where an operator vibrates the system piping 100 with a hammer or the like.
[0096] FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram showing a vibration diagnosis device 200 for a pump station system piping according to a modified example of the second embodiment. 15 described above, the vibration device 201 of the vibration diagnosis device 200 shown in Fig. 17 is configured to strike the system piping 100 by the bias of a spring 290, but strikes the system piping 100 in an upside-down state. In the configuration in which the system piping 100 is struck by the bias of the spring 290, the position at which the system piping 100 is struck is not limited to above, as in the case of free fall, and the system piping 100 can be struck in a horizontal position or from below, for example.
[0097] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated above, it should be understood that these are illustrative of the present invention and should not be considered as limiting. Additions, omissions, substitutions, and other modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Thus, the present invention should not be considered as limited by the foregoing description, but rather by the scope of the claims.
[0098] FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing a vibration diagnosis device 200 for a pump station system piping according to another embodiment. 18 includes a vibration device 201 that is provided with a vibration speaker 205 that is attached to the system piping 100. The vibration diagnosis device 200 vibrates a specific portion of the system piping 100 using the vibration speaker 205, and diagnoses the system piping 100 based on the vibration result of the system piping 100 caused by the vibration. With this configuration, a constant vibration is applied by the vibration speaker 205, so that the system piping 100 can be vibrated and diagnosed under the same conditions.
[0099] FIG. 19 is an explanatory diagram showing a vibration diagnosis device 200 for a pump station system piping according to another embodiment. 19, a vibration device 201 of a vibration diagnosis device 200 is provided at a specific location of the system piping 100 and includes a tubular portion 206 that guides the fall of a weight 210. According to this configuration, by dropping the weight 210 from a fixed height at the upper end of the tubular portion 206 in the above-mentioned first embodiment, the way in which the weight 210 hits the system piping 100 becomes constant, and the system piping 100 can be vibrated and diagnosed under the same conditions.
[0100] In addition, for example, in the above embodiment, specific locations of the system piping 100 are exemplified by specific location W where water always accumulates in the system piping 100 and specific location L which is the lowest installed location in the system piping 100, but vibration diagnosis may also be performed on other locations such as curved pipe sections and reducer pipe sections.
[0101] Also, for example, in the system piping 100 filled with water, since it may be affected by the wave motion transmitted through the fluid, the location of the abnormality may be determined by opening and closing valves provided in the system piping filled with water. Since the system piping 100 of the water system is basically normally filled with water, it is advisable to perform a diagnosis by dividing a specific section during vibration diagnosis by closing valves. By making the section closed, the diagnosis can be performed without being affected by the wave motion transmitted through the internal fluid. Also, instead of valves, a vibration insulating part such as a rubber flex may be provided in the middle of the piping to perform a divided diagnosis. This makes it easier to identify the abnormality inside the piping, since the vibration of the surface of the system piping 100 is not transmitted, but is propagated from the fluid.
