Abstract

A motor malfunction monitoring device for monitoring a malfunction of a drive motor, includes: vibration sensors for detecting for one or more components of the drive motor transverse vibration in a direction parallel to a mounting plane of the drive motor and perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the drive motor or longitudinal vibration in a direction perpendicular to both the mounting plane and the longitudinal direction of the drive motor; a voltage sensor for detecting a voltage of the drive motor or a current sensor for detecting a current of the drive motor; and a data storage storing a database of normal operation spectrums of one of the transverse vibration or the longitudinal vibration during a normal operation of the drive motor, and of one of the voltage or the current during a normal operation of the drive motor.

Claims (30)

1. A motor malfunction monitoring device for monitoring a malfunction of a drive motor, comprising:

vibration sensors for detecting in one or more components of the drive motor transverse vibration in a direction parallel to a mounting plane of the drive motor and perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the drive motor and longitudinal vibration in a direction perpendicular to both the mounting plane and the longitudinal direction of the drive motor;

a voltage sensor for detecting a voltage of the drive motor or a current sensor for detecting a current of the drive motor; and

a data storage storing a database of normal operation spectrums of one of the transverse vibration or the longitudinal vibration during a normal operation of the drive motor, and of one of the voltage or the current during a normal operation of the drive motor;

wherein the motor malfunction monitoring device is configured to acquire operation data of the drive motor, extract acquired operation data spectrums of the acquired operation data, compare the acquired operation data spectrums with corresponding normal operation spectrums to obtain a similarity, and when the similarity is lower than a predetermined threshold, determine that the drive motor fails; and

wherein the data storage stores a database of known malfunction spectrums of different types of malfunctions of the drive motor, and the motor malfunction monitoring device is further configured to, when determining that the drive motor fails, compare the acquired operation data spectrums with the known malfunction spectrums and determine a malfunction type of the drive motor.

2. The motor malfunction monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the data storage is updated with the acquired operation data spectrums of the drive motor.

3. The motor malfunction monitoring device according to claim 2 , wherein the data storage expands the database of normal operation spectrums with the acquired operation data spectrums in the normal operation of the drive motor, and expands the database for malfunction spectrums with the acquired operation data spectrums in the malfunction of the drive motor.

4. The motor malfunction monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the motor malfunction monitoring device comprises an alarm device, wherein the alarm device sends out an alarm when the motor malfunction monitoring device determines that the drive motor fails.

5. The motor malfunction monitoring device according to claim 2 , wherein the motor malfunction monitoring device comprises an alarm device, wherein the alarm device sends out an alarm when the motor malfunction monitoring device determines that the drive motor fails.

6. The motor malfunction monitoring device according to claim 3 , wherein the motor malfunction monitoring device comprises an alarm device, wherein the alarm device sends out an alarm when the motor malfunction monitoring device determines that the drive motor fails.

7. The motor malfunction monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more components to be detected comprise bearings and bases of the drive motor.

8. A drive motor system, comprising: a drive motor, a variable frequency drive for regulating an input current to the drive motor, and a controller, wherein the drive motor system further comprises the motor malfunction monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller controls, based on a determining result of the motor malfunction monitoring device, the variable frequency drive to regulate the input current to the drive motor.

9. The drive motor system according to claim 8 , wherein the controller controls the variable frequency drive to cut off the input current when the motor malfunction monitoring device determines that the drive motor fails.

10. The drive motor system according to claim 8 , wherein the data storage is updated with the acquired operation data spectrums of the drive motor.

11. The drive motor system according to claim 10 , wherein the data storage expands the database of normal operation spectrums with the acquired operation data spectrums in the normal operation of the drive motor, and expands the database for malfunction spectrums with the acquired operation data spectrums in the malfunction of the drive motor.

12. The drive motor system according to claim 8 , wherein the motor malfunction monitoring device comprises an alarm device, wherein the alarm device sends out an alarm when the motor malfunction monitoring device determines that the drive motor fails.

13. The drive motor system according to claim 9 , wherein the motor malfunction monitoring device comprises an alarm device, wherein the alarm device sends out an alarm when the motor malfunction monitoring device determines that the drive motor fails.

14. The drive motor system according to claim 10 , wherein the motor malfunction monitoring device comprises an alarm device, wherein the alarm device sends out an alarm when the motor malfunction monitoring device determines that the drive motor fails.

15. The drive motor system according to claim 8 , wherein the one or more components to be detected comprise bearings and bases of the drive motor.

16. A motor malfunction monitoring method for monitoring a malfunction of a drive motor, comprising:

pre-storing a database of normal operation spectrums obtained during a normal operation of the drive motor;

detecting in one or more components of the drive motor transverse vibration in a direction parallel to a mounting plane of the drive motor and perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the drive motor and longitudinal vibration in a direction perpendicular to both the mounting plane and the longitudinal direction of the drive motor;

detecting a voltage or a current of the drive motor;

acquiring operation data of the drive motor, wherein the acquired operation data comprises one of a transverse vibration signal corresponding to the transverse vibration or a longitudinal vibration signal corresponding to the longitudinal vibration, and comprises one of a voltage signal corresponding to the voltage or a current signal corresponding to the current;

extracting acquired operation data spectrums of the acquired operation data; and

comparing the acquired operation data spectrums with corresponding normal operation spectrums in the pre-stored database of normal operation spectrums during the normal operation of the drive motor, to obtain a similarity, when the similarity is lower than a predetermined threshold, determining that the drive motor fails; and

when determining that the drive motor fails, comparing the acquired operation data spectrums with known malfunction spectrums stored in a database comprising known malfunction spectrums of different types of malfunctions of the drive motor, and determining a malfunction type of the drive motor.

17. The motor malfunction monitoring method according to claim 16 , further comprising: storing the acquired operation data spectrums of the drive motor.

18. The motor malfunction monitoring method according to claim 17 , further comprising: expanding the database of normal operation spectrums with the acquired operation data spectrums in the normal operation of the drive motor, and expanding the database for malfunction spectrums with the acquired operation data spectrums in the malfunction of the drive motor.
