Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for non-contact unbalance measurement on centrifuges and the like, in particular on ultracentrifuges, with a magnetic field sensor arranged on the fixed part of the centrifuge in the vicinity of an annular part rotating with the rotor for detecting the changes in the geometry of the gap resulting from deflection movements of the rotor shaft between the ring-shaped part and the sensor.
  • a permanent magnet is attached to the centrifuge rotor, the magnetic field of which is detected by a coil arranged on the fixed housing. Deflection of the rotor during centrifugation results in a corresponding change in the detected field, which can thus be used for monitoring.
  • the arrangement of a permanent magnet on the upper part of the rotor is hardly possible in this or a similar form in a modern ultracentrifuge.
  • the arrangement is relatively complex if high precision is required.
  • GB-A641 732 shows a device for measuring the eccentricity of rotating shafts.
  • the field change of a permanent magnet with a coil caused by a change in an air gap is measured.
  • the monitored gap should be on the largest possible circumference of the rotating part.
  • the arrangement of the monitoring device on a circumference of the rotor is in terms of structural complexity, precision and handling of the device, for. B. unfavorable when replacing the rotors.
  • the object of the invention was therefore to provide a contactless unbalance measurement on centrifuges, which requires relatively little material and labor in the manufacture, detects an unbalance with high precision and does not interfere with the handling of the device.
  • this is achieved by a device of the type mentioned at the outset, in which the annular part rotating with the rotor has an annular flat end face which lies in a plane perpendicular to the centrifuge axis and which is opposite the magnetic field sensor in order to provide for the between the end face and the sensor Define the measured gap.
  • the rotor has a coaxially arranged flange-shaped part, opposite the end of which the sensor is arranged.
  • a magnetic field-dependent resistor or a Hall generator is preferably used as the sensor.
  • the flange-shaped part is preferably made of soft iron.
  • the sensor is a differential sensor.
  • the single figure shows a schematic representation of the essential parts of the rotor and the fixed part of an ultracentrifuge with a device for measuring unbalance according to the invention.
  • a receiving head for the centrifuge rotor is attached to the rotor shaft 1.
  • a ring-shaped or flange-shaped part 3 made of soft iron is formed on this adapter 2, which is referred to below as the measuring flange.
  • the measuring flange can also be arranged on the rotor 5 (not shown).
  • the measuring flange 3 has an annular end face 4 which defines a plane perpendicular to the rotor axis.
  • a magnetic field sensor 6 is arranged on the fixed part of the centrifuge at a short distance from the flat end face of the measuring flange 3.
  • the sensor is a differential sensor, consisting of two magnetic field-dependent resistors 7, 8, which are attached to a common permanent magnet 9.
  • Such differential sensors are commercially available components and are available, for example, from Siemens under the type designation FP 210 L 100.
  • other differential sensors made of magnetic field-dependent resistors, as well as individual field plates or arrangements made of Hall generators, can also be used.
  • the measuring flange 3 from permanent magnetic material.
  • the permanent magnet 9 on which the both field plates are mounted are eliminated or replaced by a soft iron plate.
  • the distance referred to as a gap for the purpose of this description between the end face 4 of the measuring flange 3 and the differential sensor 6 is preferably between 0.2 and 0.7 mm.
  • these values are not absolute limit values for the function of the invention.
  • the sensor Since the displacement of the measuring flange 3 relative to the differential sensor 6 takes place in the direction perpendicular to the axis, the sensor is arranged such that the two field plates 7, 8 lie one behind the other in the radial direction to the axis.
  • the axis is at an angle, during centrifugation there is a precession movement of the axis in addition to the deflection or due to the deflection, which leads to a temporal change in the deflection at the location of the sensor 6 and thus to a temporal change in the resistance values.
  • An inclined rotor axis can result from the fact that the device is not absolutely horizontal or also because the rotor is filled unevenly.
  • the two magnetic field-dependent resistors are arranged in a bridge circuit 10, from which an output signal is generated in a known manner with the aid of a suitable amplifier 11.
  • the output signal consists of a voltage that is proportional to the deflection in the radial direction of the rotor axis. It is therefore an analog signal, which constitutes a considerable advantage of the device according to the invention.
  • the conventional devices for determining the unbalance in a centrifuge which are based on the principle of contact of a ball-bearing ring through the axis, are digital sensors: a signal is emitted at a certain critical deflection. Due to the mechanical construction, the sensitivity, i.e. H. to vary the response threshold of the deflection, especially not during operation.
  • the system according to the invention in which an analog signal is generated, makes it possible to change the sensitivity without any problems, even during operation. This is a considerable advantage, because it enables the sensitivity to be selected lower at lower speeds, at which experience has shown greater deflections, but which do not endanger the rotor at these speeds, and at higher speeds when the rotor is self-stabilizing is done to shift up. This ensures that in all cases in which a centrifuge previously switched off, because at relatively low speeds due to critical vibrations deflections that would endanger the rotor at higher speeds, the centrifuge can continue to run if the rotor is above the critical speed stabilized again.
  • the following measures are provided in the circuit to switch over the response sensitivity of the unbalance measurement:
  • the amplifier 11 is followed by a comparator 12, to which the output signal of the amplifier is fed and whose reference input can be changed as a function of the speed.
  • a warning signal is emitted at the signal output 13.
  • the signal available at the output of the amplifier 11 can also be processed further via a microprocessor.
