Description

The apparatus and method that are used to detect the driving-belt wearing and tearing and monitor the belt transmission system performance
Background of invention
In the power transmission field, tape handler is the preferred components that connects rotating element.They generally are divided into two big classes traditionally: asynchronous and synchronous belt drive mechanism.In vehicle, use this two class widely.Non-synchronous drives is the preferred components that is used to drive such as the such part of water pump, compressor of air conditioner, power steering pump and alternator unit.The synchronous drive mechanism of so-called timing gear train is the preferred components that is used to drive the overhead cam axle system, and is widely used in and is driven assembly in the internal combustion engine and need synchronous place.An example that has shown this gear train among Fig. 1.
Timing belt generally is the compound of glass fibre, woven fabric, rubber and other various polymkeric substance.All these materials all show piezoelectric property: they can produce electric charge in distortion.Under normal operating condition, during by sprocket and pulley, band is by tensile force and bending force distortion at tape running.These distortion have produced electric charge.Because the high relatively resistance of carrying material, the time long enough that electric charge exists is so that can be detected.Proportional by electric charge and tensile force that piezoelectric effect produces.This specific character successfully is applied in force transducer and the accelerometer.
The present invention described herein is applicable to this gear train of two types, but is specially adapted to regularly gear train.Band is more more economical than the miscellaneous part (being chain or gear drive) that uses, less complicated and more effective.The major defect of band is be difficult to determine their life-span or be with the point of possible incipient fault in the life-span at vehicle.Up to now, vision-based detection is the sole mode of the state of test strip gear train and associated component thereof.Yet this is to bother very much and unpractical process.Regularly gear train is because the easily weakness of polluting thereby the operation of sealing ground usually, and removes the normally unusual operation of effort of shell before vision-based detection.In addition, for human eye the band and the infringement of other assemblies normally sightless, it is inefficent that vision-based detection proves.In addition, the fault of band can cause vehicle or gear train to become can not operating, and because attribute with higher compression ratios of Modern Internal-Combustion Engine, when fault caused asynchronous and valve train and piston collisions dangerous, out of order band caused internal combustion engine to be subjected to very big infringement usually.
Although timing belt has utilized the tooth geometry of improved material and enhancing to obtain sizable development, for whole timing kinematic train, structural development does not solve the problem of life expectancy.Uncertain and the higher maintenance cost of tape handler life expectancy and the consumer's who thereupon comes the dissatisfied manufacturers of engines that forces is calculated with sizable margin of safety when this gear train of design and use.As a result, band is made much wide than needs, and the mileage of the recommendation that changes of band is made as lower modestly.The uncertainty in band serviceable life forced engine manufacturers and regularly the gear train deviser consider to return and use chain and do not use band.Trend towards maintenance-free engine on the market has been strengthened this consideration especially.However, the very unwilling chain that transfers to of manufacturers of engines, and the trial of being undertaken for many years by any possible mode solves this difficult problem.
Prior art demonstrates about claiming the positive activity of some inventions that can handle this problem.Existing many viewpoints can not address this problem, and unactual to industrialization to a great extent.A large amount of schemes does not cause investor's attention, because they are not enough to prove related extra cost or design challenge.This is a class scheme of the variation design of requirement band.U.S. Pat 6181239 and U.S. Pat 6523400 proposes following a kind of scheme, promptly wherein detects belt wear by being embedded in the line in the band or the inductance or the electric capacity damaged or that change of metal construction.For the those skilled in the art that make band, this scheme is unpractical.In band, embed metal construction and will mean and depart from manufacture method greatly, and for this metal construction to influence with whole endurance, introduced great uncertainty.Band manufacturer all tends to very conservative scheme for any design variation, makes that the enforcement of such scheme is very unreliable.And the cost relevant with this plan will make product very expensive.Another shortcoming is that this scheme only is used for the band that OEM installs.On automotive industry aftermarket, make by several manufacturers usually with the band that the specific engines gear train uses.The band that is used to serve usually from install by OEM with different manufacturers.
Recognize that also invention (wherein typical case is a U.S. Pat 6569046) requirement use optics or mechanical switch based on machinery, photoelectricity or on/off switch sensing device respond damaged sideslip tracking of being with, U.S. Pat 4626230 requires to use this switch to detect the out of order tooth or the gear teeth, and all these does not reach target.These devices are easy to be polluted, and are easy to the warning that makes mistake or become unreliable, because their keep static and only just are triggered after protected band infringement.In addition, because can not simulate required input, so can not check the function of this device.Because the possibility of false alarm, they must be calibrated, with serious confusion in the system of response as generation when band has significantly broken down.This is hardly to driver's warning or to warning.
Summary of the invention
Detect described in the present invention compared to existing technology of the breakage of driving-belt and infringement those by the noncontact mode significant improvement is provided, because it provides by detecting the parts of the performance that monitors gear train to any influence of band or harmful input and to any physics or the structural damage of band.For any those of skill in the art in this area, if do not having to work the same durable of band that uses in the timing system obviously shown in Figure 1 under the top condition of unusual input value with chain.Most of situations that band breaks down too early are because unusual, after as the failed row that has suffered coupled assembly at band being, perhaps, perhaps be exposed to the outside dirt as penetrating dust, ice, water and the flag that leaks shell by the fluid contamination normally used oil in engine and industrial machine, cooling medium and other liquors.In essence, the present invention can be used for monitoring driving-belt in case the generation of any this anomalous effects.From existing another advantage implementing to obtain of the present invention is that tape handler is not needed to carry out design variation, and this is opposite with invention described in the prior art.The invention provides a reliable system determines the life-span of tape handler and can make the designer take multiple strategy to how improving the total system quality.
In having the new band of uniform strength, piezoelectric charge evenly distributes.New sensor is relatively sensitiveer for the variation of electric density, does not therefore have great changes in output signal.When band wore and tore owing to use, the some parts of band became more weak, and shows bigger deformation strain when applying load in the power operation process, and this just causes the partial charge density of piezoelectric effect bigger in this region and Geng Gao thereupon.This new sensor causes signal amplitude to increase to this higher partial charge.Thereby signal amplitude is big more, and described band is weak more.Described sensor also detects the variation of the capacitance characteristic that the dynamic change by the dielectric property of described band causes.
The invention is characterized in the non-contact sensor that couples with MPU (microprocessing unit).Described sensor utilizes one or several capacitance detecting element to operate, and described one or several capacitance detecting element is coupled into a circuit and is designed to detect the variation or the changes in capacitance of specific inductive capacity.The electrostatic capacitance that piezoelectric effect caused that causes by described band when described sensor also detects in the course of normal operation of system structured material when described band tensioning by the capacitance detecting element.In the operating process of described tape handler, the piezoelectric property of described band produces electric charge or the similar static that is accumulated in the described band, the ratio that is deformed into that itself and described band are subjected to.Because will having bigger distortion and therefore produce from described sensor, the band portion of wearing and tearing changes the higher charge of higher signal level into, so can utilize of the indication of described effect as belt wear.Place described detecting element in the following manner, promptly it produces and the key feature of described band and the corresponding signal response of specific critical mode that shows at band and described tape handler described in the operating process.The pattern that the typical case detects is: instantaneous RPM and every rotation signal event once that the span vibration of basic band feature, nature and meshing frequency, band tooth cause.Cause the general position on tape of the belt wear that damages to begin, sensor will detect this position and produce every rotating signal incident (being called OPRSE afterwards) with.
Pollution will cause specific inductive capacity and/or electrostatic capacitance and the variation permanent or behavior of semipermanent piezoelectricity by the band of any detecting element record, and cause the signal threshold value overall variation.The primary fault of any coupling assembly will cause the variation of belt tension.Tension variation will cause in course of normal operation the skew of the vibration performance that the span by described band shows again.In addition, the torsional characteristics of described tape handler also changes.The variation of feature can be directly and the quantitative increase of belt tension or reduce to be related, and these any those of skill in the art for the band transmission field are conspicuous.Can handle by the signal processing method of any amount by the signal that testing circuit obtains.Any device that can carry out data aggregation and signal analysis can further be regulated and be coupled to signal based on simulation.Yet optimum of the present invention is embodied as independent device, and wherein DSP (digital signal processing) algorithm of carrying out by the MPU (microprocessing unit) that is embedded in the sensor construction is analyzed described simulating signal.Final data is stored on the plate of sensor construction, and according to terminal user's strategy, can further analyze these data by the algorithm in outside PLC (programmable logic controller (PLC)) or the vehicle control device, perhaps its storage is used to be transferred to central database.
[11] this function will provide several advantages to user (OEM), as: the non-linear scheme that allows maintenance intervals, promptly when band or other when regularly transmission components need repairing, before arriving predetermined mileage, vehicle sends signal (this is especially useful as rescue, law compulsion or hackney vehicle for the vehicle with strict work period).If especially during the guarantee period, break down, before severe impairment or afunction generation, detect the early signal of transmission fault and can save bigger cost.According to the data of collecting, the user can produce response initiatively, i.e. issue maintenance report.According to the data of collecting, it is what has formed regularly the service lifetime of gear train and the tricks of the trade that how to design gear train best that the user can produce.It is narrower that band can be done, and saves several millimeters space in the place of taking notice of the space saving thus.As the instrument sold on the market time, the present invention can reduce or eliminate the insecure this viewpoint of current tape handler, makes the vehicle final user relieved.Advantage above-mentioned also can be directly used in industrial belt transmission system.

Feature of the present invention is a kind of pick-up unit and signal analysis method, and it is particularly useful for describing the operating conditions of tape handler and band is worked as in prediction and/or when its associated component should replace, to avoid the gear train fault.In addition, the invention is characterized in electronic circuit 51 shown in Figure 22 and detecting element 36, it is by operating with the capacitive element of electric capacity (electrocapacitive) and piezoelectric property coupling, just can collect signal data without contact zones.Detecting element 36 can pass through static structures (i.e. Dai shell) and detect band.The attribute of this detection makes it be particularly useful for detecting dynamic harmonic and transient event from being with of passing through.Any those of skill in the art in this area of electric capacity, electric capacity and piezoelectric detection circuit can realize described circuit by a plurality of modes.Open source literature Capacitive SensorsDesign and Applications, Larry K Baxter, IEEE, Piscataway, NJ are the better sources of sort circuit example.Preferably,, but for the present invention, can use any capacitive detection circuit with appropriate characteristics because its element can be easy to be integrated into the signal circuit of mixing at the transistorized new departure of use MOS (metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS)) described in the disclosure document.This partial circuit is called mimic channel 51.The detecting element that is coupled in the mimic channel is arranged on the object tape structure periphery, to produce desirable signal input best.Detecting element 51 is made up of the generation specific capacitor of two adjacent settings and the electrode that projects capacitance field.Described electrode is towards the band target, so that the dielectric property that band changes will influence described capacitance field in the following manner, promptly feasible electric capacity by the mimic channel 51 detected electrodes that are coupled changes.Described detecting element also detects accumulation capacitance charge on tape by the mode of induction coupling, and this is the result of the piezoelectric characteristic of carrying material compound.
As shown in Fig. 8 and 9, will cause signal response at the toothing 21 that passes through across the detecting element 36 of band structure setting.The signal response that has shown described element among Figure 28, its middle distance 80 is corresponding to 17 space width.
For the present invention, as Fig. 8,9 and two or more detecting elements 36,38 of being provided with of a plurality of band space widths 16 ground, interval shown in Figure 13 will have the effect that increases described signal response by tooth.
As shown in Figure 19 and 20 on the main direction of Tape movement machine-direction oriented detecting element 37 will mainly cause (at band span 14 as shown in Figure 7 laterally move 27) signal response.Laterally moving generally is the result of span vibration nature or that bring out.Figure 23 has shown the type signal response of the natural span vibration 27 with vibration period 84 and amplitude 73 shown in Fig. 7.Figure 24 has shown the frequency spectrum of described signal, wherein the free-running frequency 71 of 74 expression band spans 14.Detecting element 37 with the length that equals three or more band space widths 16 is not subjected to influence by toothed, therefore will be as the filtrator of the engagement signal (meshing signal) of being with tooth to produce.Move 26 if the frequency 70 relevant with engagement is present in the horizontal of band span 14, then detecting element will only detect this frequency 70 relevant with engagement.
As shown in Figure 21, use multiplexer switch 50 to be connected by several detecting elements 36,37 with 38 sensors of forming with mimic channel 51.Described multiplexer switch is by the MPU53 shown in Figure 22 control and can be according to the needs of the DSP strategy that uses from each detecting element 36,37 and 38 separately, integrally or combination in any ground sampled signal.
As shown in Figure 30, two detecting elements 36 with following special layout be positioned at band relatively or same side: promptly they be spaced apart half interband increment apart from 45, thereby one in the face of tooth tip, and another is in the face of root.As shown in Figure 30, the attribute by signal 46,47 cancels each other out 81, and this detecting element structure causes by significantly the reducing of the signal response that causes by band tooth 20, and wherein chart 81 illustrates this counteracting.When sensor was checked OPRSE (every rotation signal event once) or checked inner structure infringement (i.e. Dai wearing and tearing), this was especially favourable.OPRSE appears when detecting owing to the infringement that causes with 17 fault of construction or wearing and tearing.In most cases, the band infringement begins at a point, and in further operating period, the band infringement will be expanded, and cause the entire belt fault.OPRSE is the signal that breaks down and should replace rapidly with 17.Fig. 5 has shown two kinds of band infringements being represented by OPRSE usually: incipient cord breakage 22 and polymer deficiency 23.Fig. 6 shown since the toothing 24 of shortcoming or the tooth 25 that breaks cause to 17 infringement.The infringement of these types shows as the clear signal event that can distinguish in signal trace.An example that has shown described signal trace among Figure 27, wherein signal peak 79 representative is with the described OPRSE at a last specified point place, and distance 78 representatives are through one of described detecting element complete band rotation.With threshold level relatively before or after, the signal peak on a plurality of cycles 79 can be added and, to avoid spurious signal and false alarm.
If in the gear train shown in Fig. 1, use with 17 by such as the oil that stay residue on tape, engine coolant or the such fluid contamination of fluid contamination thing arbitrarily, cause its dielectric and/or capacitance characteristic to take place fully to change, then sensor module will detect the existence of described fluid and be recorded in skew in the whole signal threshold value as shown in Figure 31, the signal level of measurement before wherein 82 expressions are polluted, 83 are illustrated in the signal level of measuring after the pollution.
Fig. 1 has shown main use of the present invention as the monitoring arrangement that is used for tape handler, and described tape handler is generally used for keeping the synchronism of internal combustion engine cam and is commonly referred to regularly gear train.In described tape handler, new sensor 30 is provided with near camshaft sprocket 7.In this position, the best assembling of sensor 30, thus monitor gear train, and detect with 17 any unusual input and detect infringement to band.Because sensor 30 is operated by the noncontact mode,, thereby do not disturb mobile band structure 17 so it is spaced apart with sufficient gap 34 and 35 as shown in Figure 2.As shown in frame of broken lines among Figure 22, sensor 30 has all detecting element 36,37,38 and electronic installations that are embedded in its structure, and this can make described sensor automatically operate.Sensor 30 is connected with the vehicle startup machine controller and uses the slave unit of the vehicle motor controller 58 of deciding usually and pass through distribution 31 or wireless antenna 32 and controller communication.Signal path is as follows: detecting element 36 detects by electric field 72 and describedly is with 17.Element 36 is coupled to mimic channel 51 by the multiplexing components shown in Figure 21 50.Described circuit produces simulating signal 61, and this simulating signal 61 is converted to digital data stream by A/D converter 52 and is stored among the microprocessing unit MPU53.MPU53 carries out digital signal processing DSP by embedded algorithm.Suitable DSP is known for any those of skill in the art in Digital Signal Analysis field.
