Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for monitoring a journal bearing, and more particularly, to a journal bearing monitoring apparatus and a journal bearing monitoring method using the same, which can confirm abnormal operation of the journal bearing in real time.
Journal bearings are mechanical elements that support a cylindrical shaft and smoothly rotate the shaft in response to a load acting perpendicular to the shaft. In the journal bearing, the journal, which is the shaft portion that is in contact with the journal bearing, slides with an oil film therebetween on the metal surface that supports the shaft. Journal bearings have excellent ability to support loads because they distribute the load acting on the shaft on flat and wide metal surfaces. Therefore, the journal bearing is widely used as a bearing means for stably supporting a crank shaft of a marine engine that is rotated at high speed and subjected to a large load.
Journal bearings have various reasons, such as when the shaft is supported with misalignment, when the quality of the lubricating oil that forms the oil film is deteriorated or the injection amount is insufficient due to long time operation, etc. The operation state becomes unstable due to the settlement and the engine being out of position or the external shock or vibration being applied to the engine. Therefore, the journal of the shaft on the metal surface of the journal bearing is rotated or rotated while being in contact with a sufficient lubrication thickness, thereby increasing the frictional resistance and raising the temperature of the lubricating oil. If this condition persists, as shown in FIG. 1, the viscosity of the lubricating oil decreases as the temperature of the lubricating oil rises, and the oil film formed between the journal bearing and the shaft is destroyed. This causes defects such as pitting or scuffing on the metal surface of the journal bearing, which greatly damages the journal bearing, degrades the engine's ability to rotate the shaft, or stops the engine unexpectedly. An accident occurs.
In order to prevent such damage of the journal bearing, a technique for checking the operating state of the journal bearing has been proposed. As an example of the prior art which can check the operating state of the journal bearing, the Utility Model Registration No. 20-00334945 proposes a temperature measuring device of the journal bearing. The temperature measuring device of the journal bearing proposed in the patent document is installed a plurality of temperature sensors in the journal bearing, and by continuously measuring the temperature distribution on the metal surface of the journal bearing in operation to check the operating state of the journal bearing.
However, the journal bearing temperature measuring device proposed in the above patent document checks the operating state of the journal bearing based only on the temperature distribution on the metal surface irrespective of whether the journal bearing is in contact with the shaft. It is not possible to check whether the condition is correct, and there is a limit in accurately checking the abnormal operation of the journal bearing caused therefrom.
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for monitoring a journal bearing that can confirm abnormal operation of the journal bearing in real time by measuring temperature and contact resistance of the journal bearing in operation.

And a processing unit for generating an operation state signal of the journal bearing and a display unit for displaying the operation state signal of the journal bearing to the outside.
The temperature sensor and the contact resistance sensor are respectively installed in the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove formed through the housing so as to contact the back metal of the journal bearing.
A spring for pushing the temperature sensor and the contact resistance sensor toward the outer circumferential surface of the back metal is provided in the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove.
The temperature sensor measures the temperature of the journal bearing, which is transferred and changed according to the temperature change of the lubricating oil injected between the journal bearing and the shaft.
The contact resistance sensor is in contact with the journal bearing while a voltage source is connected and energized, and measures the contact resistance of the journal bearing generated by contacting the shaft and the journal bearing to which the grounded variable resistor is connected.
The contact resistance sensor and the journal bearing are insulated from the housing.
The processor generates the driving state signal of the journal bearing as any one of a normal state signal, an intermediate state signal, and an abnormal state signal.
In addition, the journal bearing monitoring method according to an embodiment of the present invention is a method for monitoring the abnormal operation of the journal bearing accommodated in the housing rotatably supporting the shaft, measuring the temperature and contact resistance of the journal bearing, And comparing the measured temperature and the contact resistance with the set reference temperature and the contact resistance, respectively, to generate an operating state signal of the journal bearing, and displaying the operating state signal of the journal bearing to the outside.
Measuring the temperature and the contact resistance of the journal bearing is a step of measuring the temperature of the journal bearing is changed by heat transfer according to the temperature change of the lubricant injected between the journal bearing and the shaft, the journal to which the voltage source is connected And measuring contact resistance caused by the contact of the shaft to which the bearing and the grounded variable resistor are connected.
Generating an operation state signal of the journal bearing may include generating a steady state signal when the measured temperature and the measured contact resistance are less than the reference temperature and the reference contact resistance, and wherein the measured temperature and the measured contact resistance are the reference temperature. And generating an abnormal state signal when both reference contact resistances are exceeded, and generating an intermediate state signal when only one of the measured temperature and the measured contact resistance exceeds the reference temperature and the reference contact resistance. Include.
According to the journal bearing monitoring apparatus and method of the present invention, it is possible to measure the temperature and contact resistance of the journal bearing in operation through a temperature sensor and a contact resistance sensor installed to contact the journal bearing. In addition, the operating status signal of the journal bearing is displayed externally to compare the measured temperature and contact resistance with the set reference temperature and contact resistance, respectively, so that the abnormal operation of the journal bearing and the contact with the shaft can be confirmed in real time. . Therefore, a quick action can be taken in the abnormal operation of the journal bearing, preventing damage to the journal bearing and improving the service life of the journal bearing. In addition, it is possible to prevent breakage of the engine in which the journal bearing is employed, thereby improving operation reliability.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a journal bearing monitoring method using a journal bearing monitoring apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to FIG. 5, the journal bearing monitoring method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes simultaneously measuring the temperature and contact resistance of the journal bearing during operation of the journal bearing (S110), and setting the measured temperature and contact resistance. And determining an operating state of the journal bearing (S120) by comparing the temperature and contact resistance, respectively, and displaying the determined operating state of the journal bearing to the outside (S130).
The temperature and contact resistance of the journal bearing in operation is measured by means of a temperature sensor and a contact resistance sensor installed in the housing so as to contact the journal bearing. Since the temperature of the lubricant injected between the journal bearing and the shaft cannot be measured directly by the temperature sensor, the temperature sensor indirectly measures the temperature of the lubricant by measuring the temperature of the journal bearing changed through heat transfer from the lubricant. In addition, the contact resistance between the journal bearing and the shaft made of a conductor is measured through a contact resistance sensor connected to the energized state between the journal bearing and the shaft (S110).
Thereafter, the temperature and the contact resistance measured in the journal bearing are transmitted to the processing unit, and compared with the reference temperature and the reference contact resistance set in the processing unit by the manager (S121, S122, S123), respectively. When the comparison of the measured temperature and contact resistance with the reference temperature and contact resistance is completed, the processor determines the operating state of the journal bearing as one of a normal state, an abnormal state, and an intermediate state (S124, S125, and S126). ). In this embodiment, it is determined that the operation state of the journal bearing is in an abnormal state when the measured temperature exceeds the reference temperature and the measured contact resistance exceeds the reference contact resistance (S124). In addition, when the measured temperature is equal to or less than the reference temperature and the measured contact resistance is equal to or less than the reference contact resistance, the operation state of the journal bearing is determined as normal (S125). In addition, when either the measured temperature and the contact resistance is greater than the reference temperature and the contact resistance, that is, when the measured temperature exceeds the reference temperature and the measured contact resistance is below the reference contact resistance, and the measured temperature is below the reference temperature and the measured contact resistance In any case of exceeding the reference contact resistance, the operation state of the journal bearing is determined as an intermediate state (S126).
When the driving state of the journal bearing as described above is determined, the determined driving state of the journal bearing is displayed to the outside through an image or an audio (S130). If the operation state of the journal bearing is in a normal state, a normal signal is displayed. If the operation state of the journal bearing is in an abnormal state, a forced driving stop signal is displayed. In addition, when the operating state of the journal bearing is in an intermediate state, a warning signal indicating that the temperature or contact resistance is measured is displayed. The manager can damage the journal bearing by quickly finding the cause of the journal bearing's operation, ie, stopping the operation of the journal bearing or causing the journal bearing to malfunction through the operation status signal of the marked journal bearing. Can be prevented.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. It will be obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art.
