Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Zustandsüberwachung bei hydrostatischen Verdrängereinheiten.The invention relates to a device and a method for condition monitoring in hydrostatic displacement units.

Wenn hydraulische Anlagen aufgrund von Wartungsarbeiten oder aufgrund einer Fehlfunktion ausfallen, entstehen kostenintensive Stillstandszeiten, innerhalb deren Zeitspanne Ersatzteile ausgetauscht werden müssen. Außerdem kann auch eine Verschmutzung des gesamten Hydraulikkreislaufes eine Stillstandszeit bewirken, so dass vor der erneuten Inbetriebnahme die gesamte Anlage gereinigt werden muss und das Hydrauliköl sowie Systemkomponenten wie z.B. Filtereinsätze ausgetauscht werden müssen. Wenn hydraulische Anlagen nicht in Betrieb sind, beispielsweise in einer Produktionslinie, resultieren nicht nur ein verringerter Produktionsausstoß, sondern auch sehr hohe Kosten für das Herunterfahren und das wieder Anfahren der hydraulischen Anlage.When hydraulic equipment fails due to maintenance or malfunction, costly downtime occurs during which spare parts must be replaced. In addition, contamination of the entire hydraulic circuit can cause a down time, so that before restarting the entire system must be cleaned and the hydraulic oil and system components such. Filter inserts must be replaced. If hydraulic systems are not in operation, for example in a production line, not only results in a reduced production output, but also very high costs for shutting down and restarting the hydraulic system.

Um die Ausfälle zu reduzieren ist dem Stand der Technik eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Fehlerdiagnose an Pumpen zu entnehmen.In order to reduce the failures, the prior art discloses a device and a method for diagnosing faults on pumps.

Beispielsweise ist aus der DE 103 34 817 A1 (nächster Stand der Technik) eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Fehlererkennung an Pumpen bekannt, bei denen nach der Erfassung eines Drucks der Pumpe eine Frequenzanalyse, vorzugsweise eine diskrete Fourier-Transformation, des erfassten Datensignals ausgeführt wird und im Anschluss daran die Amplitude einer charakteristischen Frequenz der Pumpe, die durch die Frequenzanalyse erhalten wurde, mit einer Referenzamplitude verglichen und aus diesem Vergleich einen Fehler der Pumpe ermittelt wird. Dabei ist die charakteristische Frequenz der Pumpe vorzugsweise die Eigenfrequenz des Pumpenantriebs.For example, is from the DE 103 34 817 A1 (Prior Art) discloses an apparatus and method for fault detection on pumps in which, after the detection of a pressure of the pump, a frequency analysis, preferably a discrete Fourier transform, of the detected data signal is carried out and subsequently the amplitude of a characteristic frequency The pump, which was obtained by the frequency analysis, compared with a reference amplitude and from this comparison, a failure of the pump is determined. The characteristic frequency of the pump is preferably the natural frequency of the pump drive.

Nachteilig bei dem aus der DE 103 34 817 A1 hervorgehenden Stand der Technik ist, dass lediglich der Druck einer Pumpe ausschließlich im Frequenzbereich analysiert wird. Droht die Pumpe wegen erhöhter Verschmutzung des Hydraulik Fluids auszufallen, so kann dies mit der in der DE 103 34 817 A1 beschriebenen Vorrichtung nicht direkt diagnostiziert werden, sondern es können nur von einer Druckerhöhung im Hydraulikkreislauf Rückschlüsse gezogen werden, da die Vorrichtung keinen Sensor aufweist, der beispielsweise die Konzentration der Schmutzpartikel im Hydraulikfluid bestimmt. Von Nachteil ist ebenfalls, dass eventuelle mechanische Instabilitäten, die durch eine hohe Drehzahl der Pumpe bedingt sind und sich auf das Pumpengehäuse übertragen, nicht direkt erfasst werden können, da am Pumpengehäuse keine entsprechenden Sensoren angebracht sind.A disadvantage of the DE 103 34 817 A1 Prior art is that only the pressure of a pump is analyzed exclusively in the frequency domain. If the pump threatens to fail due to increased contamination of the hydraulic fluid, this can be done with the in the DE 103 34 817 A1 described device can not be directly diagnosed, but it can be drawn only from an increase in pressure in the hydraulic circuit conclusions, since the device has no sensor that determines, for example, the concentration of dirt particles in the hydraulic fluid. Another disadvantage is that any mechanical instabilities that are caused by a high speed of the pump and transferred to the pump housing, can not be detected directly because no corresponding sensors are mounted on the pump housing.

Außerdem ist eine ereignisorientierte Wartung solcher Anlagen, d.h. eine durch einen Schadensfall bedingte Reparatur sowie eine zyklusorientierte Wartung, die sich auf eine Wartung in fest vorgegebenen Zeitabständen bezieht, von Nachteil, da diese eine längere Stillstandszeit und somit höhere Prozesskosten nach sich ziehen.In addition, event-driven maintenance of such equipment, i. damage-related repair and cycle-oriented maintenance related to fixed-interval maintenance are disadvantageous as they result in longer downtime and hence higher process costs.

Die vorliegende Erfindung hat die Aufgabe, die Nachteile beim Stand der Technik zu beseitigen und eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Fehlererkennung mit erweiterten Funktionsumfang zur zustandsorientierten Wartung bei hydrodynamisch betriebenen Maschinen zu schaffen.The present invention has the object to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide an apparatus and method for error detection with extended functionality for condition-based maintenance in hydrodynamically operated machines.

Die Aufgabe wird bezüglich der Vorrichtung erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 und bezüglich des Verfahrens durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 18 gelöst.The object is achieved with respect to the device according to the invention by the features of claim 1 and with respect to the method by the features of claim 18.

An die Auswerteeinheit ist eine Diagnoseeinheit mit einer Ausgabeeinheit angeschlossenen.Claim 1 relates to a device for condition monitoring in hydrostatic displacement units, in particular when operated as a pump or as a motor axial piston machines.

To the evaluation unit is a diagnostic unit connected to an output unit.

Anspruch 18 bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Zustandsüberwachung mittels der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung bei hydrostatischen Verdrängereinheiten, insbesondere bei als Pumpe oder als Motor betriebenen Axialkolbenmaschinen, wobei eine Vielzahl von Sensoren an der hydrostatischen Verdrängereinheit angebracht werden und die Überwachungsdaten und Betriebsdaten in einer Erfassungseinheit erfasst werden. Anschließend werden die Überwachungsdaten in der Auswerteeinheit sowohl im Frequenzbereich als auch im Zeitbereich analysiert, damit dann von der an der Diagnoseeinheit angeschlossenen Ausgabeeinheit in Abhängigkeit von dem Ergebnis der vorhergehenden Analyse ein Signal ausgegeben wird.Claim 18 relates to a method for condition monitoring by means of the device according to the invention in hydrostatic displacement units, in particular operated as a pump or motor axial piston machines, wherein a plurality of sensors are attached to the hydrostatic displacement unit and the monitoring data and operating data are detected in a detection unit.

Thus, the natural frequencies of the entire system can be determined and stored with simple means.

Weiterhin ist von Vorteil, dass an der hydrostatischen Einheit eine Vielzahl von Sensoren angebracht sind, womit sowohl Überwachungsdaten als auch Betriebsdaten wie Druck in einer Hochdruckleitung und/oder Druck in einer Niedrigdruckleitung und/oder ein Schwenkwinkel einer Schrägscheibe und/oder eine Drehzahl einer Zylindertrommel messtechnisch erfasst werden, um anschließend in der Auswerteeinheit bezüglich ihres Zusammenhangs analysiert zu werden.Furthermore, it is advantageous that a large number of sensors are mounted on the hydrostatic unit, with which both monitoring data and operating data such as pressure in a high-pressure line and / or pressure in a low pressure line and / or a swivel angle of a swash plate and / or a rotational speed of a cylinder drum are metrologically detected to be subsequently analyzed in the evaluation unit with respect to their context.

Dabei ist von Vorteil, dass die Überwachungsdaten wie Oberflächenvibrationen und/oder Lecköl- und Hydraulikfluid-Temperatur und/oder Hydraulikfluid-Zustand, im Zusammenhang mit den ermittelten Betriebdaten den Gesamtzustand der zu überwachenden Maschine kennzeichnen, und somit eine notwendige Wartung schon vor ihrer Fälligkeit angezeigt wird, so dass eine eventuell notwendige Stillstandszeit gut mit dem Produktionsprozess vereinbart werden kann.It is advantageous that the monitoring data such as surface vibrations and / or leakage oil and hydraulic fluid temperature and / or hydraulic fluid state, in connection with the determined operating data characterize the overall state of the machine to be monitored, and thus indicates a necessary maintenance before their due date so that any necessary downtime can be well-agreed with the production process.

Außerdem ist von Vorteil, dass die Überwachungsdaten in der Auswerteeinheit auch im Zeitbereich analysiert werden können, so dass anhand einer Quotientenbildung von einem gemessenen Istwert zu einem festgelegten Schwellwert bzw. von einer Änderung des Istwerts zu einem festgelegten Schwellwert ein Trendverhalten des Maschinenzustands bestimmt werden kann.In addition, it is advantageous that the monitoring data in the evaluation unit can also be analyzed in the time domain so that a trend behavior of the machine state can be determined based on a quotient of a measured actual value to a specified threshold value or of a change of the actual value to a specified threshold value.

Ferner ist von Vorteil, dass zumindest drei Beschleunigungssensoren an dem Gehäuse der hydrostatischen Verdrängereinheit angebracht sind, so dass Oberflächenvibrationen des Gehäuses in drei Richtungen erfasst werden können, die paarweise aufeinander senkrecht stehen.Furthermore, it is advantageous that at least three acceleration sensors are mounted on the housing of the hydrostatic displacement unit, so that surface vibrations of the housing can be detected in three directions which are perpendicular to each other in pairs.

An der Welle 25 ist ein Drehzahlsensor angebracht, der in dieser Darstellung nicht erkennbar ist und der die momentane Drehzahl der Welle 25 bestimmt und an die Erfassungseinheit 4 weiterleitet.The shaft 25 is rotatably mounted in the housing 15 and engages centered through the cylinder drum 16 therethrough. The cylinder drum 16 is rotatable with the shaft 25, but axially movable and thereby detachably connected by the shaft. The wave is on both sides of the Cylinder drum 16 mounted in each case a rolling bearing. On the shaft 25, a speed sensor is mounted, which is not visible in this illustration and determines the instantaneous speed of the shaft 25 and forwards to the detection unit 4.

In der Zylindertrommel 16 sind über den Umfang verteilt mehrere Zylinderbohrungen 17 ausgebildet. In jeder Zylinderbohrung 17 ist jeweils ein Kolben 18 axial. beweglich eingesetzt. Die Kolben 18 weisen jeweils an der von dem Gehäusedeckel 23 abgewandten Seite einen kugelförmigen Kopf 26 auf, der mit einer korrespondierenden Ausnehmung eines Gleitschuhs 27 zu einer Gelenkverbindung zusammenwirkt. Mittels des Gleitschuhs 27 stützt sich der Kolben 18 an der Schrägscheibe 19 ab. Bei einer Drehung der Zylindertrommel 16 führen die Kolben 18 daher in den Zylinderbohrungen 17 eine Hubbewegung aus. Die Höhe des Hubs wird dabei durch die Stellung der Schrägscheibe 19 vorgegeben, wobei die Stellung der Schrägscheibe 19 im Ausführungsbeispiel durch eine Stellvorrichtung 28 einstellbar ist.In the cylinder drum 16 distributed over the circumference a plurality of cylinder bores 17 are formed. In each cylinder bore 17 is a piston 18 each axially. used movably. The pistons 18 each have on the side facing away from the housing cover 23 a spherical head 26 which cooperates with a corresponding recess of a shoe 27 to a hinge connection. By means of the slide shoe 27, the piston 18 is supported on the swash plate 19. Upon rotation of the cylinder drum 16, the pistons 18 therefore execute a stroke movement in the cylinder bores 17. The height of the stroke is determined by the position of the swash plate 19, wherein the position of the swash plate 19 in the embodiment by an adjusting device 28 is adjustable.

Die im dargestellten Schnitt der Fig. 1 der Axialkolbenmaschine 3 nicht erkennbaren Steueröffnungen der Steuerplatte 24 stehen auf ihrer von der Zylindertrommel 16 abgewandten Seite in permanentem Kontakt mit zumindest einem in dieser Figur nicht dargestellten Hochdruck- bzw. Niederdruckanschluß.The section shown in the Fig. 1 The axial piston 3 not recognizable control openings of the control plate 24 are on their side facing away from the cylinder drum 16 side in permanent contact with at least one high-pressure or low-pressure connection, not shown in this figure.

Die Zylinderbohrungen 17 sind über Öffnungen zu der Stirnfläche der Zylindertrommel 16 hin offen. Die Öffnungen überstreichen bei einer Rotation der Zylindertrommel 4 eine dichtende Umgebung der Steuerplatte 24 und werden dabei während eines Umlaufs alternierend mit den nicht erkennbaren Steueröffnungen verbunden.The cylinder bores 17 are open via openings to the end face of the cylinder drum 16.

Die Axialkolbenmaschine 3 ist beispielsweise für den Betrieb mit Öl als Hydraulik-Fluid vorgesehen. Über die Welle 25 wird die Zylindertrommel 16 mitsamt den Kolben 18 in Drehung versetzt. Wenn durch Betätigung der Stellvorrichtung 28 die Schrägscheibe 19 in eine Schrägstellung gegenüber der Zylindertrommel 16 verschwenkt ist, vollführen sämtliche Kolben 18 Hubbewegungen. Bei Drehung der Zylindertrommel 16 um 360° durchläuft jeder Kolben 18 einen Saug- und einen Kompressionshub, wobei entsprechende Ölströme erzeugt werden, deren Zu- und Abführung über die Öffnungen, die nicht erkennbaren Steueröffnungen der Steuerplatte 24 und den nicht dargestellten Hochdruck- bzw. Niederdruckanschluß erfolgen.The axial piston machine 3 is provided, for example, for operation with oil as a hydraulic fluid. About the shaft 25, the cylinder drum 16 is rotated together with the piston 18 in rotation. If the swashplate 19 is pivoted into an inclined position relative to the cylinder drum 16 by actuation of the adjusting device 28, all the pistons 18 perform strokes. Upon rotation of the cylinder drum 16 by 360 ° each piston 18 passes through a suction and a compression stroke, with corresponding oil flows are generated, their supply and discharge through the openings, the unrecognizable control openings of the control plate 24 and the high pressure or low pressure connection, not shown respectively.

Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation of an inventive device 1 for condition monitoring of a hydrostatic displacer unit 2, whose construction is substantially the in Fig. 1 shown axial piston machine 3 corresponds.

The evaluation unit 8 is adjoined by a diagnostic unit 11 having an output unit 13, wherein the diagnostic unit 11, as in FIG Fig. 3 can also be integrated into the evaluation unit 8.

Die Überwachungsdaten 6 umfassen Oberflächenvibrationen und/oder Lecköl- und Hydraulik-Fluid-Temperatur und/oder Hydraulik-Fluid-Zustand, insbesondere Verschmutzungsgrad, wobei zur Erfassung der Oberflächenvibrationen an zumindest drei unterschiedlichen Stellen des Gehäuses 15 der hydrostatischen Verdrängereinheit 2 zumindest drei mit der Erfassungseinheit 4 verbundene Beschleunigungssensoren 14 angebracht sind. Die Richtungen der von den drei Beschleunigungssensoren 14 zu messenden Beschleunigungen bzw. Vibrationen stehen dabei jeweils paarweise senkrecht aufeinander.The monitoring data 6 include surface vibrations and / or leakage oil and hydraulic fluid temperature and / or hydraulic fluid condition, in particular degree of contamination, wherein for detecting the surface vibrations at least three different locations of the housing 15 of the hydrostatic displacement unit 2 at least three with the detection unit 4 connected acceleration sensors 14 are mounted. The directions of the acceleration or vibration to be measured by the three acceleration sensors 14 are in each case perpendicular to each other in pairs.

Die Einrichtung 9 zur Analyse der Überwachungsdaten 6 im Frequenzbereich umfasst ein Modul, das die Fourriertransformierte der erfassten Überwachungsdaten 6, insbesondere der Oberflächenvibrationen bildet.The device 9 for analyzing the monitoring data 6 in the frequency domain comprises a module which forms the Fourier transform of the acquired monitoring data 6, in particular the surface vibrations.

Die Lecköltemperatur des Hydraulik Fluids wird durch einen Sensor 5, der z. B. im Pumpengehäuse 15 oder in einer mit dem Pumpengehäuse 15 verbundenen Leckölleitung angeordnet ist, erfasst und über die Erfassungseinheit 4 zur Auswerteeinheit 8 der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung 1 übermittelt, wo dieser Wert mit anderen Überwachungsdaten 6 gespeichert wird.The leakage oil temperature of the hydraulic fluid is detected by a sensor 5, the z. B. in the pump housing 15 or in a connected to the pump housing 15 leak oil line is detected and transmitted via the detection unit 4 to the evaluation unit 8 of the device 1 according to the invention, where this value is stored with other monitoring data 6.

Fig. 3. zeigt ein Blockschaltbild zur Erläuterung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens zur Zustandsüberwachung. Das Verfahren zur Zustandsüberwachung geht davon aus, dass eine Vielzahl von Sensoren 5 an der hydrostatischen Verdrängereinheit 2 angebracht werden. Die angebrachten Sensoren 5 umfassen im Ausführungsbeispiel Beschleunigungssensoren 14, Schmutzschalter, Temperatursensoren im Tank, sowie im Leckölkanal, Ölsensoren, Drucksensoren in der Hochdruckleitung 21 sowie in der Niedrigdruckleitung 20, einen an der Welle 25 angebrachten Drehzahlsensor und einen Sensor 5 zur Bestimmung des Schwenkwinkels. Diese Sensoren 5 erfassen die relevanten Daten und übermitteln sie als Überwachungsdaten 6 und Betriebsdaten 7 an eine Erfassungseinheit 4. Fig. 3 , shows a block diagram for explaining the method according to the invention for condition monitoring. The condition monitoring method assumes that a plurality of sensors 5 are attached to the hydrostatic displacement unit 2. In the exemplary embodiment, the mounted sensors 5 comprise acceleration sensors 14, dirt switches, temperature sensors in the tank and in the oil leakage channel, oil sensors, pressure sensors in the high-pressure line 21 and in the low-pressure line 20, a speed sensor attached to the shaft 25 and a sensor 5 for determining the swivel angle. These sensors 5 acquire the relevant data and transmit it as monitoring data 6 and operating data 7 to a detection unit 4.

Die Überwachungsdaten 6 beziehen sich auf Oberflächenvibrationen, auf eine Partikelkonzentration im Hydraulik Fluid, auf die Temperaturen im Tank und in der Leckölleitung sowie auf Viskositätswerte, Wassergehalt, Dielektrizitätswerte und Druckwerte des im Hydraulik Kreislauf verwendeten Hydraulik-Fluids.The monitoring data 6 relates to surface vibrations, to a particle concentration in the hydraulic fluid, to the temperatures in the tank and in the leak oil line, as well as to viscosity values, water content, dielectric values and pressure values of the hydraulic fluid used in the hydraulic circuit.

Die Betriebsdaten 7 beziehen sich auf den Druck in einer Hochdruckleitung 21 und/oder den Druck in einer Niedrigdruckleitung 20 und/oder den Schwenkwinkel einer Schrägscheibe 19 und/oder die Drehzahl einer Zylindertrommel 16.The operating data 7 relate to the pressure in a high-pressure line 21 and / or the pressure in a low-pressure line 20 and / or the swivel angle of a swash plate 19 and / or the rotational speed of a cylinder drum 16.

In der Auswerteeinheit 8, die sich an die Erfassungseinheit 4 anschließt, werden die Überwachungsdaten 6 sowohl im Frequenzbereich als auch im Zeitbereich analysiert. Nach der Datenanalyse wird von der an der Diagnoseeinheit 11 angeschlossenen Ausgabeeinheit 13 in Abhängigkeit von dem Ergebnis der vorhergehenden Datenanalyse ein Signal ausgegeben.In the evaluation unit 8, which adjoins the detection unit 4, the monitoring data 6 in both the frequency domain and in the Time domain analyzed. After the data analysis, a signal is outputted from the output unit 13 connected to the diagnosis unit 11 depending on the result of the previous data analysis.

Die in der Auswerteeinheit 8 erfassten Überwachungsdaten 6, insbesondere die mittels zumindest drei an dem Gehäuse der hydrostatischen Verdrängereinheit 2 angebrachten Beschleunigungssensoren 14 gemessenen Oberflächenvibrationen, werden einer Fourriertransformation unterworfen. Dadurch werden die Eigenfrequenzen und/oder Fehlerfrequenzen des Gesamtsystems ermittelt. Anhand dieser Eigenfrequenzen und/oder Fehlersequenzen kann ein kritischer Betriebszustand der Verdrängereinheit 2 ermittelt werden und über ein geeignetes optisches oder akustisches Alarmsignal gemeldet werden.The monitoring data 6 acquired in the evaluation unit 8, in particular the surface vibrations measured by means of at least three acceleration sensors 14 mounted on the housing of the hydrostatic displacement unit 2, are subjected to a Fourier transformation. As a result, the natural frequencies and / or error frequencies of the entire system are determined. On the basis of these natural frequencies and / or error sequences, a critical operating state of the displacer unit 2 can be determined and reported via a suitable visual or audible alarm signal.

In der Einrichtung 10 zur Analyse der Überwachungsdaten 6 im Zeitbereich wird der Quotient aus einem Istwert und einem Schwellwert gebildet. Beispielsweise wird die Konzentration der Schmutzpartikel im Hydraulikkreis in regelmäßigen Zeitabständen bestimmt und ins Verhältnis zu einer vorher festgelegten und in der Auswerteeinheit 8 gespeicherten Grenzkonzentration gesetzt. Das Ergebnis dieses Quotienten wird in der Diagnoseeinheit 11 ständig überwacht, so dass bei einer Annäherung an den Wert Eins ein geeigneter Alarm ausgegeben wird.In the device 10 for analyzing the monitoring data 6 in the time domain, the quotient of an actual value and a threshold value is formed. For example, the concentration of dirt particles in the hydraulic circuit is determined at regular intervals and set in relation to a predetermined and stored in the evaluation unit 8 limit concentration. The result of this quotient is constantly monitored in the diagnostic unit 11, so that when approaching the value one, a suitable alarm is output.

Ferner wird in der Einrichtung 10 zur Analyse der Überwachungsdaten 6 im Zeitbereich ein Quotient aus der Änderung des Istwerts und einem vorher festgelegten Schwellwert gebildet. Zum Beispiel wird in regelmäßigen Zeitabständen eine Änderung der Temperatur im Tank erfasst und ins Verhältnis zu einer vorher festgelegten Temperatur gesetzt. Ein sprunghafter Anstieg dieses Quotienten ist dann ein Hinweis auf ein geändertes Trendverhalten des überwachten Messparameters, so dass daraufhin ein Alarm ausgegeben wird, nachdem in der Diagnoseeinheit 11 ein Trendverhalten der Überwachungsdaten anhand der in der Auswerteeinheit gebildeten Quotienten im Zeitbereich bewertet wurde.Furthermore, a quotient of the change in the actual value and a previously defined threshold value is formed in the device 10 for analyzing the monitoring data 6 in the time domain. For example, a change in the temperature in the tank is detected at regular intervals and set in relation to a predetermined temperature. A sudden increase in this quotient is then an indication of a changed trend behavior of the monitored measurement parameter, so that then an alarm is output, after in the diagnostic unit 11 a Trend behavior of the monitoring data was evaluated based on the quotients formed in the evaluation unit in the time domain.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf Axialkolbenmaschinen 3 in Schrägscheibenbauweise beschränkt und ist beispielsweise auch für Axialkolbenmaschinen 3 in Schrägachsenbauweise verwendbar oder weitere hydrostatische Verdrängereinheiten 2 mit einem geschlossenen oder offenen Hydraulikkreislauf anwendbar.The invention is not limited to axial piston machines 3 in a swashplate construction and is also applicable, for example, to axial piston machines 3 in bent-axis design or other hydrostatic displacement units 2 with a closed or open hydraulic circuit.
