[0042] The motor malfunction monitoring device as described therein is generally provided for monitoring malfunctions of a drive motor used in oilfield operations.
Fig. 1 schematically illustrates a modular structure diagram of a motor malfunction monitoring device 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 1, the motor malfunction monitoring device 10 includes a signal acquisition module 1, a data storage module 2 and a signal analysis module. Specifically, the signal acquisition module 1 is responsible for acquiring operation data during the operation of the drive motor, where these operation data include an electrical signal of the drive motor, namely a current or voltage signal, and/or vibration signal of components to be detected. To this end, the signal acquisition module 1 may include an electrical signal acquisition unit 12 and/or a vibration signal acquisition unit 11, where the electrical signal acquisition unit 12, for example, can include voltage sensor(s) and current sensor(s) and be mounted at appropriate positions of the Date Recue/Date Received 2022-04-28 drive motor, as disclosed in the prior art, to detect and acquire the voltage signal and current signal of the drive motor. In addition, the vibration signal acquisition unit 11 may include one or more vibration sensors, where, depending on components of the drive motor and vibration directions to be detected, the vibration sensors may be mounted at the components to be detected, particularly along specific directions of the vibration, such that the vibration sensors can detect and acquire the vibration signals of the components in the specific directions. Within the scope of the present disclosure, since components of the drive motor often vibrate in transverse and longitudinal directions in case of failure, the vibration signal acquisition unit 11 is used to mainly acquire vibration in the transverse and longitudinal directions. It is noted that, within the scope of the present disclosure, "a transverse direction" refers to a direction parallel to a mounting plane of the drive motor and perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the drive motor, and "a longitudinal direction"
refers to a direction perpendicular to both of the mounting plane and the longitudinal direction of the drive motor. For example, within the scope of the present disclosure, depending on the components concerned and need to be detected, the vibration sensors of the vibration signal acquisition unit 11 may be mounted at the bearings and the bases of the drive motor to detect and acquire vibration of the bearings and the bases, for detecting whether there is abnormality, loosening or damage of the bearings, loosening of bases, and the like.
Fig. 1 schematically illustrates a modular structure diagram of a motor malfunction monitoring device 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 1, the motor malfunction monitoring device 10 includes a signal acquisition module 1, a data storage module 2 and a signal analysis module. Specifically, the signal acquisition module 1 is responsible for acquiring operation data during the operation of the drive motor, where these operation data include an electrical signal of the drive motor, namely a current or voltage signal, and/or vibration signal of components to be detected. To this end, the signal acquisition module 1 may include an electrical signal acquisition unit 12 and/or a vibration signal acquisition unit 11, where the electrical signal acquisition unit 12, for example, can include voltage sensor(s) and current sensor(s) and be mounted at appropriate positions of the Date Recue/Date Received 2022-04-28 drive motor, as disclosed in the prior art, to detect and acquire the voltage signal and current signal of the drive motor. In addition, the vibration signal acquisition unit 11 may include one or more vibration sensors, where, depending on components of the drive motor and vibration directions to be detected, the vibration sensors may be mounted at the components to be detected, particularly along specific directions of the vibration, such that the vibration sensors can detect and acquire the vibration signals of the components in the specific directions. Within the scope of the present disclosure, since components of the drive motor often vibrate in transverse and longitudinal directions in case of failure, the vibration signal acquisition unit 11 is used to mainly acquire vibration in the transverse and longitudinal directions. It is noted that, within the scope of the present disclosure, "a transverse direction" refers to a direction parallel to a mounting plane of the drive motor and perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the drive motor, and "a longitudinal direction"
refers to a direction perpendicular to both of the mounting plane and the longitudinal direction of the drive motor. For example, within the scope of the present disclosure, depending on the components concerned and need to be detected, the vibration sensors of the vibration signal acquisition unit 11 may be mounted at the bearings and the bases of the drive motor to detect and acquire vibration of the bearings and the bases, for detecting whether there is abnormality, loosening or damage of the bearings, loosening of bases, and the like.
[0043] Although the vibration signal acquisition unit, for example, includes vibration sensors mounted at the bearings of the drive motor and the bases of the drive motor, as described above, vibration sensors may be mounted at other components of the drive motor, depending on the different components need to be detected and concerned, which also fall into the scope of the present disclosure.
[0044] The data storage module 2 of the motor malfunction monitoring device 10 stores therein a database 21 of normal operation spectrums during the normal operation of the drive motor. Specifically, the database 21 of normal operation spectrums includes therein operation data spectrums when the drive motor runs normally in different operating conditions, for example, transverse vibration signal spectrums, longitudinal vibration signal spectrums, voltage or current signal spectrums, and the like, of the components to be detected.
[0045] The signal analysis module 3 of the motor malfunction monitoring device 10 can perform processing and analysis on the operation data acquired by the signal acquisition module 1, extract acquired operation data spectrums of the acquired operation data, and then Date Recue/Date Received 2022-04-28 compare them with corresponding normal operation spectrums in the database to obtain a similarity therebetween. If the similarity is lower than a predetermined threshold, the signal analysis module determines that the drive motor fails. Specifically, for example, when the signal acquisition module 1 has acquired the current or voltage signals and the transverse and longitudinal vibration signals when the drive motor runs in a certain operating condition, the signal analysis module extracts spectrums of these signals and compares them with the current or voltage signal spectrums and the transverse and longitudinal vibration signal spectrums at the bearing when the drive motor runs normally in the corresponding operating condition to obtain a similarity therebetween. If the similarity is lower than a predetermined threshold, it is determined that the drive motor fails. The predetermined threshold as mentioned above may be predetermined based on factors, such as the operating status of the drive motor and the like.
[0046] Fig. 2 schematically illustrates a motor malfunction monitoring device 10' according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. To avoid duplication, only differences between the embodiments as shown in Fig. 2 and the one in Fig. 1 will be described below.
In order to differentiate the two embodiments, the reference symbols involved in Fig. 2 are represented with an additional superscript "'", as compared with those in Fig.
1. As shown in Fig. 2, in addition to the modules in Fig. 1, the motor malfunction monitoring device 10' further includes a malfunction diagnosis module 4'. To be specific, when the signal analysis module 3 determines that the drive motor fails, the malfunction diagnosis module 4' further determines the malfunction type of the drive motor. With respect to the motor malfunction monitoring device 10' in the embodiment, the data storage module 2' further stores therein a database 22' for malfunction spectrums when the drive motor runs at different types of malfunctions, and the malfunction diagnosis module 4' compares the acquired operation data spectrums with the malfunction spectrums in the database and diagnoses the malfunction type of the drive motor. Specifically, the database 22' of malfunction spectrums stored in the data storage module 2' at least includes characteristic spectrums of operation data when the drive motor fails at different operating conditions, for example, characteristic spectrums of the drive motor when bearings, bases, or stator coils are loose, short circuit occurs between stator winding turns, and the like. The malfunction diagnosis module 4' compares the acquired operation data with those malfunction spectrums to find out a malfunction spectrum mostly similar to the acquired operation data, and then determines the specific malfunction type of the drive motor.

In order to differentiate the two embodiments, the reference symbols involved in Fig. 2 are represented with an additional superscript "'", as compared with those in Fig.
1. As shown in Fig. 2, in addition to the modules in Fig. 1, the motor malfunction monitoring device 10' further includes a malfunction diagnosis module 4'. To be specific, when the signal analysis module 3 determines that the drive motor fails, the malfunction diagnosis module 4' further determines the malfunction type of the drive motor. With respect to the motor malfunction monitoring device 10' in the embodiment, the data storage module 2' further stores therein a database 22' for malfunction spectrums when the drive motor runs at different types of malfunctions, and the malfunction diagnosis module 4' compares the acquired operation data spectrums with the malfunction spectrums in the database and diagnoses the malfunction type of the drive motor. Specifically, the database 22' of malfunction spectrums stored in the data storage module 2' at least includes characteristic spectrums of operation data when the drive motor fails at different operating conditions, for example, characteristic spectrums of the drive motor when bearings, bases, or stator coils are loose, short circuit occurs between stator winding turns, and the like. The malfunction diagnosis module 4' compares the acquired operation data with those malfunction spectrums to find out a malfunction spectrum mostly similar to the acquired operation data, and then determines the specific malfunction type of the drive motor.
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-04-28
[0047] Alternatively, within the scope of the present disclosure, the data storage module 2, 2' is configured to store operation data and/or acquired operation data spectrums of the drive motor. Those spectrums may be stored in a local or remote memory of the data storage module 2, 2', which can be implemented by means of existing storage technique in the related fields. In this circumstance, alternatively, in some embodiments, the data storage module 2, 2' can further update and expand the database stored therein (i.e., the database of normal operation spectrums and the database for malfunction spectrums) by using operation data and/or acquired operation data spectrums of the drive motor. Specifically, the data storage module 2, 2' expands and updates the database of normal operation spectrums by using the acquired operation data spectrums when the drive motor does not fail, and expands and updates the database for malfunction spectrums by using the acquired operation data spectrums when the drive motor fails. More specifically, the acquired operation data spectrums are respectively categorized according to the malfunction categories into which they fall.
[0048] Alternatively, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the motor malfunction monitoring device 10, 10' may further include an alarming unit which can send out an alarm based on the malfunction determined by the motor malfunction monitoring device 10, 10', more specifically, a respective malfunction alarm (e.g., warning light, alarm sound, alarm information, or the like) corresponding to the malfunction type.
[0049] In the present disclosure, there is further provided a drive motor system, including: a drive motor, a variable frequency drive (also referred to as drive unit) that can regulate the current or voltage of the drive motor, a motor malfunction monitoring device and a controller, where the motor malfunction monitoring device can be configured in the form of the motor malfunction monitoring device 10, 10' according to any of the embodiments of the present disclosure. The controller controls the drive motor, based on the drive motor's malfunction information obtained by the motor malfunction monitoring device 10, 10' (i.e.
presence or absence of a malfunction in the drive motor and/or the malfunction type of the drive motor).
For example, in some malfunctions, the controller stops the drive motor. It is noted that, under this circumstance, the variable frequency drive monitors the current and voltage of the drive motor as mentioned in the prior art, but since the motor malfunction monitoring device is included in the present disclosure, the variable frequency drive may be configured to only regulate the input current to the drive motor under the control of the controller, without the Date Recue/Date Received 2022-04-28 necessity to monitor the current and voltage of the drive motor.
presence or absence of a malfunction in the drive motor and/or the malfunction type of the drive motor).
For example, in some malfunctions, the controller stops the drive motor. It is noted that, under this circumstance, the variable frequency drive monitors the current and voltage of the drive motor as mentioned in the prior art, but since the motor malfunction monitoring device is included in the present disclosure, the variable frequency drive may be configured to only regulate the input current to the drive motor under the control of the controller, without the Date Recue/Date Received 2022-04-28 necessity to monitor the current and voltage of the drive motor.
[0050] In addition, within the scope of the present disclosure, the variable frequency drive is configured as a conventional variable frequency drive employed in the related technical fields of drive motors, which may include a rectifier, an inverter, a control circuit assembly for detecting the current or voltage of the drive motor and regulating an input current to the drive motor, and the like. Specifically, the controller controls, based on the malfunction of the drive motor determined by the motor malfunction monitoring device 10, 10', the variable frequency drive to regulate an input current or voltage to the drive motor.
[0051] Alternatively, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, for the electrical signals (i.e., current or voltage) of the drive motor, when one of the variable frequency drive and the motor malfunction monitoring device 10, 10' monitors an electrical signal malfunction (i.e., abnormality), the controller controls the variable frequency drive to cut off the input current to the drive motor. In other words, if the voltage or current malfunction cannot be detected due to failure of the variable frequency drive or one of the voltage sensor and the current sensor in the motor malfunction monitoring device, the controller can switch off the input current to the drive motor for the sake of security, rather than performing control based on the monitored result from one of the above. Such redundant determination avoids the deficiency of misjudging the malfunction of the drive motor due to circuit failure in the variable frequency drive.
[0052] Fig. 3 schematically illustrates a flowchart of a motor malfunction monitoring method according to the present disclosure. The motor malfunction monitoring method involved herein is particularly used to monitor a malfunction of a drive motor in oilfield operations, including steps of:
[0053] S101: acquiring operation data of the drive motor, where the operation data include a transverse and/or a longitudinal vibration signal of components to be detected of the drive motor, and/or an electrical signal, namely a voltage or current signal, of the drive motor;
[0054] As aforementioned, depending on different components need to be detected, the transverse and longitudinal vibration signals at the bearings and the bases of the drive motor may be acquired, to detect and acquire vibration of the bearings and bases of the drive motor for subsequent determination of a malfunction, such as abnormality, loosening or damage of the bearings, loosening of bases, and the like.

[0055] S102: extracting acquired operation data spectrums of the operation data acquired;
[0056] Specifically, the operation data acquired are processed and analyzed, and the acquired operation data spectrums of the operation data acquired are extracted.
[0057] S103: comparing the acquired operation data spectrums with normal operation data spectrums pre-stored in the database of normal operation spectrums of the drive motor to obtain a similarity, and determines that the drive motor fails when the similarity is less than a predetermined threshold.
[0058] Specifically, the database of normal operation spectrums during the normal operation of the drive motor is pre-stored. More specifically, the database of normal operation spectrums includes operation data spectrums (e.g., transverse vibration signal spectrums, longitudinal vibration signal spectrums, voltage or current signal spectrums, and the like, of components to be detected) when the drive motor runs normally under different operating conditions.
[0059] In other words, for example, after the current or voltage electrical signals and transverse and longitudinal vibration signals at the bearings under a certain operating condition of the drive motor are acquired, the spectrums of these signals are extracted and compared with the current or voltage signal spectrums and the transverse and longitudinal signal spectrums in the corresponding normal operating condition to obtain a similarity therebetween, and it is determined that the drive motor fails if the similarity is less than a predetermined threshold. The predetermined threshold as mentioned above may be predetermined based on factors, such as the use status of the drive motor and the like.

[0063] Specifically, determining that the drive motor fails further includes determining a malfunction type of the drive motor. The database for malfunction spectrums created when the drive motor fails at different types of malfunctions is pre-stored, including at least characteristic spectrums of operation data when the drive motor fails at different operating conditions, for example, characteristic spectrums of the drive motor when bearings, bases, or stator coils are loose, short circuit occurs between stator winding turns, and the like. Then, the acquired operation data spectrums are compared with those malfunction spectrums, to determine malfunction spectrums mostly corresponding to the acquired operation data spectrums and thus determine a specific malfunction type of the drive motor.
[0064] Alternatively, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the motor malfunction monitoring method further includes a step of:
[0065] storing operation data and/or the acquired operation data spectrums of the drive motor.
[0066] In other words, the database of normal operation spectrums and the database for malfunction spectrums can be updated and expanded by using the operation data and/or the spectrums of the acquired operation data of the drive motor. The database of normal operation spectrums is expanded and updated by using the acquired operation data spectrums when the drive motor does not fail, while the database for malfunction spectrums is expanded and updated by using the acquired operation data spectrums when the drive motor fails.
More specifically, the acquired operation data spectrums are categorized according to the malfunction categories into which they fall.
More specifically, the acquired operation data spectrums are categorized according to the malfunction categories into which they fall.
