Embodiment
In ensuing detailed description, the embodiment by relevant to large-sized two-stroke diesel engine is described according to the equipment of the application's instruction, method and software product.Should be noted that, although only described two-stroke engine, the application's instruction also can be applied in any engine, such as Otto cycle engine, two-cycle gasoline engine and small two-stroke diesel motor.
Fig. 1 is the sectional view of engine 100.This engine has bent axle, and this bent axle has king journal 110 and one or more crank pin 120, and wherein each crank pin 120 is connected with crosshead 130.
Each cylinder at least has three bearings, main bearing 140 (invisible in Fig. 1, to be illustrated by the broken lines), crank pin bearing 150 and cross head bearing 160.
Each cylinder is provided with two sensors 170 (only illustrating).In one embodiment, a sensor 170 is arranged on the rear portion of crosshead 130, and a sensor 170 is arranged on the front portion of crosshead 130.Sensor 170 is set to measure the distance between crosshead 130 and a point of fixity.Or, sensor is set and to measure one, is attached to the point of crosshead and the distance between a point of fixity.
Or, sensor is set to measure the distance about guide block 135.
In Fig. 1, sensor 170 is arranged on engine structure 100 and measures to the distance of reflecting plate 175, and this reflecting plate 175 is attached on guide block 135.It should be noted that, how the sensor for using what type, arrange this sensor and what distance of this sensor measurement, has different selections.
In a preferred embodiment, sensor 170 is arranged on engine structure, and because sensor keeps static, it produces the most reliable reading.
In one embodiment, sensor board 175 is arranged on crosshead pin the reading that the angular motion to guarantee to reduce by guide block 135 causes and fluctuates.
In one embodiment, sensor is set for example, to determine the structure that is connected to crosshead in engine or moves (guide block as above together with crosshead, but may be also other structure) lower dead center level, wherein determine the indrect reading of crosshead lower dead center level.Therefore the lower dead center level of, measuring such structure can be determined deviation and the variation of the lower dead center level of crosshead.
Or sensor 170 arranges diacritically, and they even can be arranged on and the axle position on a line not.Yet preferably, they and axle be arranged in parallel.And preferably, sensor arranges along the direction coaxial spaced parallel with axle, because can determine that like this wearing and tearing are in main bearing 140.
Therefore, sensor is configured to provide the measurement to minimum point level, that is: the lower dead center level of crosshead 130 during the rev of engine 100.
As being obvious for those skilled in the art, for how implementing sensor 170, there are many selectable methods, such as optical close is from sensor or capacitance measurement Proximity Sensor.
Fig. 2 is exemplified with the general structure of bearing 200, and this bearing 200 has the jacket wall 220 of core 210 and soft metal (such as white metal or the tin-aluminium alloy) of hard metal (such as steel).
The thickness of this lining is conventionally in 1.0 to 1.5mm scope, and sensor 170 is designed to precision repeated measurement distance or level with +/-0.01mm.
On sensor 170, be connected with controller, this controller is set to receive from the measurement result of sensor 170 and they are processed to measure the wearing and tearing of bearing.The measurement of wearing and tearing is the facts based on such: any variation of the thickness of the bearing wall 220 of the bearing part of a bearing in these bearings 140,150,160 is by the respective change that causes lower dead center (BDC) level of one or more crosshead 130 with respect to the structure of engine 100.The in the situation that of 160 wearing and tearing of crank pin 150 or cross head bearing, the BDC level of problematic cylinder can change, and the in the situation that of main bearing 140 wearing and tearing, and sensor 170 in a cylinder and the BDC level of a sensor in adjacent cylinders can change.
Signal from sensor 170 will comprise the noise of certain level, and it will affect the accuracy of sensor reading.
Another factor that affects sensor accuracy is: due to the small scrambling such as in the engine parameters such as combustion pressure, the actual BDC level of guide block or crosshead can slightly change.
Another factor that affects signal is engine speed, that is: the rotations per minute of engine 100 (rpm).
Another factor that affects signal is airscrewpiston rank.
Another factor that affects signal is the load that engine bears.The cargo load of an example of this load for being delivered by boats and ships.
These are all examples of engine operational conditions, and should be noted that, even if description below focuses on compensation engine speed, this instruction is also applicable to compensating other service condition with independent or combination.
Other factors is such as the deformation of hull being produced by different Ship Design and engine temperature also can produce some impacts to BDC level, because the manufacturing process at different engine positions will be different.
Such as the factors such as signal dispersion of bearing also can exert an influence to the BDC level recording.
Method and apparatus disclosed herein is set to factor as above and other factor to take into account, and the reliable measurements of engine centre bearer wearing and tearing is provided.
Fig. 3 shows the process flow diagram of the conventional method of embodiment herein.
In the first step 310, controller obtains the signal from sensor 170.Then by the compensation of various factors is carried out to processing signals 320, by calculation deviation, come correction signal and assessment result 330, determine whether on this basis give a warning.
There are the wearing and tearing of engine bearing between multifactor impact on-stream period perhaps.If engine conk, the source of isolated fault is very important.The in the situation that of bearing wear, know the reason that bearing wear increases very important because otherwise a new alternative bearing will probably also can damage prematurely.
As known in the past and above mentioned, to each cylinder, use two sensors can make operator isolate the position of the bearing of having been damaged.Distinguish that it is helpful which bearing need to be changed more changing jobs, because slip-stick artist can know from where opening engine, and do not need to do unnecessary work to attempt to find the bearing of having damaged.
But, as present inventor understands, can from the reading of these two sensors, extract manyly also to distinguishing the reason Useful Information of (increase) wearing and tearing, and this will allow that slip-stick artist remedies problem, and avoid the wearing and tearing of the bearing replaced to increase.
Also can use these more information to adapt to several or all the sensors and be all affected and situation about existing without any damage.
As by as shown in below, the information being extracted also can be used for avoiding Bearing Grinding to damage by sending to warn in advance, and it will allow that operator remedies the reason of wearing and tearing before bearing is damaged, the engine shutdown time that prevents thus engine failure and cause thus.
Therefore, equipment disclosed in this invention and method tool have great advantage, because it allows the reason of distinguishing that wearing and tearing increase, it can be predicted fault and realize in the situation that not needing additional sensors.
Therefore, this system can be easy to be integrated in the existing engine with two sensors, and these two sensors are to install by the controller of a upgrading of simple connection, or likely by upgrading, existing controller installs.
To BDC level affects, be engine speed the most significantly, and the signal value receiving from sensor must compensate engine speed, because when engine speed increases, BDC level will decline, and wear monitoring device can send the signal of bearing wear mistakenly.
May there is the deviation higher than 0.3mm in BDC level, it depends on the size engine speed that determine, that use by engine.Therefore, be necessary this impact to compensate.Because this impact is independent for each installation, it depends on the layout of axis and alignment etc., therefore for each sensor, must install and set up separately compensation each.
By using look-up table, signal value is compensated to engine speed, this look-up table has for the BDC level in the very wide velocity range of each sensor.
In one embodiment, controller is configured to the speed based on look-up table to compensate, and this look-up table comprises standard signal value or the average signal value that depends on engine speed or rpm (reference value).
In the scope of the little variation of engine speed, standard value can vary widely.
In one embodiment, look-up table has corresponding to the velocity range of engine datum speed being divided into the resolution of subrange, and hereinafter this subrange refers to speed point.
In one embodiment, this velocity range is corresponding to 0% to 120% scope of engine datum speed.
In one embodiment, this velocity range is corresponding to 20% to 110% scope of engine datum speed.
In one embodiment, lower than 20% scope of engine datum speed, be not considered for the wearing and tearing of monitoring bearing.
In one embodiment, whether controller is configured to engine to reverse and take into account.
Because the reason of velocity compensation, the measurement that controller is considered is not actual BDC level, but difference between the average BDC level of the BDC level recording and present engine speed.This allows and detects extremely or unexpectedly changing of the BDC level caused by bearing wear.
Therefore, to the processing of the signal receiving from sensor, should take the offset of signal is basis.
In one embodiment, controller is configured to by deducting the signal value that a reference value is determined compensation the signal value from receiving:
S comp=S N-S ref
In one embodiment, controller is set to filtered sensor value.
In one embodiment, for the impact of noise decrease, with low-pass filter, filter the value being provided by sensor 170.
In one embodiment, the moving average of simple each sensor values of filter update, that is: upgrade once for each engine revolution.In one embodiment, filter table is shown:
New filter value=old filter value * (1-x)+value * x
To controller, how soon response change exerts an influence the value of x.Higher value can cause controller very responsive to changing, and thus also to noise-sensitive, otherwise lower x value can cause the reaction of actual event slower.In one embodiment, X is 0.05.
Conventionally, some factor affects all sensors, and the signal receiving from affected sensor may be understood mistakenly.
An engine temperature that such factor is variation.
For the caused variation of the wearing and tearing of distinguishing such variation and increased by bearing, calculate the deviation of each sensor values.
In one embodiment, controller is configured to come by deduct the mean value of other signal from each signal the deviation of the signal of calculating sensor and the value comparison of other sensor.
Sensor 5 (S 5) with 8 sensor S of whole group 1to S 8the sensor bias of (corresponding to four-banger) (d (S i)) can be expressed as:
d(S 5)=S 5-(S 1+S 2+S 3+S 4+S 6+S 7+S 8)/7
Another factor affects for the longitudinal shear being formed by the deformation of engine structure, and this deformation is produced by thrust variation sometimes.In some cases, this deformation makes front and rear sensor in cylinder show the variation about each other.
By during operation, to the careful monitoring of engine and investigation and to the carefully analyzing of result, the conclusion obtaining is: for two sensors, it is changed to signal value often in contrary phase place.When this increases the signal value of a sensor, the signal value of another sensor reduces, and vice versa.Be called below cylinder deviation.
In one embodiment, controller is configured to by determining that the average sensor values of two sensors of a cylinder eliminates this variation, and the mean value of the sensor of they and other cylinder is compared.
Cylinder 3 (cyl 3) and there are altogether 8 sensor S 1to S 8the cylinder deviation (d (cyl of whole group of 4 cylinders i)) can be expressed as:
d(cyl 3)=(S 5+S 6)/2-(S 1+S 2+S 3+S 4+S 7+S 8)/6
Cylinder deviation and sensor bias have all reduced the impact of signal dispersion.But cylinder deviation is more effective to reducing signal dispersion.
Therefore, calculating cylinder deviation is useful for reducing signal dispersion.
Cylinder deviation is not too responsive to the situation of the infringement of bearing for only having a sensor record, because in deviation computation process, the variation meeting of recording is halved.
Therefore, preferably, calculate the deviation of cylinder and sensor to allow the reliable detection to bearing infringement.

In one embodiment, controller is configured to change the threshold value for early warning, alarm and at least one situation of dynamically slowing down according to the current operation of engine.
At the normal operation period of large-sized two-stroke diesel engine, engine is set to an engine speed long time running.At this moment between, in the cycle, the environment of engine is quite stable.For example, owing to not accelerating, there is the less deformation being caused by thrust.
Along with the change of the speed of engine, it is so unstable that environment becomes, and it has affected the BDC level of bearing, and these BDC levels can correspondingly change and/or fluctuate.In such time cycle, controller is configured to improve threshold level and does not send any alarm to adapt to such variation.
