Failure Diagnosis System with Segmented Output Interfaces
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current failure diagnosis systems for devices like motors and gearboxes lack convenience in their operation and data handling, particularly in determining and outputting abnormality detection results.
Innovation Solution
A failure diagnosis system comprising sensors, a processing unit, and external devices that set and determine abnormality types, with separate output portions for pre-set and non-pre-set determination values, enabling convenient detection and analysis of abnormalities in devices like gear motors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single output portion outputs both set and non-set determination values, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates due to difficulty in distinguishing different types of determination values
Solution Approach 1:
The output portion is divided into two separate output portions: a first output portion that outputs determination results (abnormality determination) and a second output portion that outputs determination values (diagnosis data). This segmentation allows each output portion to have a specialized function, making it easier for users to understand and interpret the different types of data without confusion.
2Ease of operation
If only determination results are output to external devices, then ease of operation is improved, but loss of information increases as raw determination values become unavailable
Solution Approach 1:
The system adds a new dimension to information output by providing two separate output channels: one for determination results and another for determination values. This dimensional expansion allows users to access both processed diagnostic conclusions and raw diagnostic data without interfering with each other, enabling comprehensive analysis while maintaining ease of operation.
3Device complexity
If multiple determination value types are output through a single channel, then device complexity is reduced, but measurement precision deteriorates due to mixing different data types
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the output into two distinct portions, the system ensures that determination results and determination values are transmitted separately. This prevents mixing of different data types and maintains the precision and integrity of each data category, while the overall device complexity remains manageable through the clear functional division.

AI summary
A failure diagnosis system includes a sensor that detects diagnosis target information of a diagnosis target device; a setting portion that sets a type of a determination value based on the diagnosis target information to be used for determination of whether an abnormality occurs in the diagnosis target device; and a diagnosis unit including a determination portion that determines whether the abnormality occurs in the diagnosis target device on the basis of the determination value of the type set by the setting portion. The diagnosis unit includes a first interface that outputs a determination result in the determination portion to a first external device, and a second interface that outputs a determination value of a type that is not set by the setting portion in addition to the determination value of the type set by the setting portion to a second external device.
