Outline of the invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
[0004]
In the detectors disclosed in Non-Patent Documents 1 to 3, the waveform of the induced electromotive force is affected by the temporal change of the magnetic flux (time differential term of the magnetic flux). Therefore, the waveform of the induced electromotive force changes according to the rotation speed of the turbine blade.
[0005]
As a result, the detection timing based on the comparison with a certain threshold value fluctuates while the rotation speed of the turbine blade changes. In other words, the positional relationship between the turbine blade and the detection device at the detection timing when it is determined that the turbine blade has passed changes with each detection. As a result, the detection accuracy of the passing timing of the turbine blade may decrease. In addition, when the rotation speed of the turbine blade is low, the signal based on the induced electromotive force does not reach the threshold due to the decrease in the peak value in the waveform of the induced electromotive force (decrease in the amplitude during passage), and the passage of the turbine blade is detected. It may not be possible.
[0006]
In view of the above circumstances, the present disclosure aims to improve the detection accuracy of the passing timing of the turbine blade.

(Structure of rotary machine according to one embodiment)
Hereinafter, the configuration of the rotary machine 300 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining a configuration of a rotary machine 300 including a detection device 100 according to an embodiment.
[0014]
The rotary machine 300 is, for example, a gas turbine, a steam turbine, a compressor, or the like. As shown in FIG. 1, the rotary machine 300 includes a rotary shaft 310, a rotary speed detection sensor 320 configured to detect the rotary speed, and one or more turbine blades 330 that rotate around the rotary shaft 310. , Equipped with.
[0015]
The turbine blade 330 is a magnetic material. The rotation speed detection sensor 320 generates a signal indicating the rotation speed of the turbine blade 330 (for example, a pulse signal that outputs one pulse for each rotation), and outputs a signal indicating the rotation speed to the detection device 100. The detection device 100 is configured to identify which turbine blade 330 the passed turbine blade 330 is based on this signal.
[0016]
The rotary machine 300 further includes a detection device 100 for detecting the passing timing of the turbine blade 330. The detection device 100 includes a sensor 10, an integrator 20, a high-pass filter 30, an A / D converter 40, and an analyzer 50. A dedicated amplifier (not shown) capable of adjusting the magnitude of the output of the sensor 10 may be provided between the sensor 10 and the integrator 20.
[0017]
The sensor 10 is configured to detect an induced electromotive force generated by an electromagnetic induction action. While the turbine blade 330 rotates, the sensor 10 is fixed so as to be stationary. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the sensor 10 of the detection device 100 according to the embodiment. This figure shows a cross-sectional view of the sensor 10 along a plane parallel to the rotation direction of the turbine blade 330.
[0018]
As shown in FIG. 2, for example, the sensor 10 includes a magnet 11 for generating a magnetic flux, a coil 12 provided at a position where the magnetic flux from the magnet 11 is received, and a lead wire 13 having one end connected to the coil 12. A housing 14 is provided. The configuration of the sensor 10 is not limited to the example shown in FIG.
[0019]
The coil 12 is provided, for example, between the magnet 11 and the turbine blade 330. The coil 12 is configured to detect an induced electromotive force based on a change in magnetic flux (magnetic flux distribution) accompanying the passage of the turbine blade 330 moving in the rotational direction. The other end of the lead wire 13 is connected to a dedicated amplifier or an integrator 20 described later.
[0020]
The sensor 10 is fixed to, for example, a casing (not shown) for accommodating the turbine blade 330 so as to have sensitivity toward the tip of the turbine blade 330. The detection device 100 may be configured to include one sensor 10. Further, the detection device 100 may be configured to include a plurality of sensors 10 arranged at a plurality of circumferential positions facing the turbine blade 330.
[0021]
In some embodiments, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the integrator 20 is provided between the coil 12 of the sensor 10 and the analyzer 50. The integrator 20 is configured to integrate a signal based on the induced electromotive force from the coil 12 and output an integrated signal.
[0022]
The signal based on the induced electromotive force is a signal including a time differential term when shown by a mathematical formula. The signal based on the induced electromotive force is, for example, a signal indicating a voltage value (induced electromotive force) induced in the coil 12 by electromagnetic induction. For example, the voltage V (V), which is the induced electromotive force, is expressed by the equation V = −Ndφ / dt. N is the number of turns (turns) of the coil 12, and φ is the magnetic flux (Wb). The signal based on the induced electromotive force is not limited to this. For example, the signal based on the induced electromotive force may be an electrical signal obtained by converting the voltage induced in the coil 12 by a method other than integration, or numerical data obtained by processing the induced electromotive force by a method other than integration. May be.
[0023]
In some embodiments, the integrator 20 includes, for example, an integrator circuit and is configured to integrate a voltage signal that is the induced electromotive force of the coil 12. In this case, the voltage V (V) indicating the integrated signal is represented by V = −Nφ + C. C is an integral constant. The integrated signal may not be the signal generated by the integrator 20, but may be the result of integrating the signal based on the induced electromotive force by the arithmetic processing of the analyzer 50. That is, in the detection device 100, the integrator 20 can be omitted.
[0024]
In some embodiments, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, a high pass filter 30 is provided on the output side of the integrator 20. The high pass filter 30 is configured to pass only the high frequency components of the integrated signal. Instead of the high-pass filter 30, a digital filter (not shown) may be provided on the output side of the A / D converter 40 to remove low-frequency noise, or low-frequency noise may be removed by signal processing of the analyzer 50. Noise may be removed. That is, in the detection device 100, it is possible to omit the high pass filter 30.
[0025]
In some embodiments, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, an A / D converter 40 is provided on the input side of the analyzer 50. A /The D converter 40 is configured to convert an input analog signal into a digital signal and output it. This makes it possible to facilitate signal analysis by the analyzer 50.
[0026]
The analyzer 50 is configured to detect the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 based on the integrated signal obtained by integrating the signal based on the induced electromotive force. In some embodiments, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, the analyzer 50 detects the pass timing of the turbine blade 330 based on the integrated signal that has passed through the high pass filter 30.
[0027]
The analyzer 50 obtains the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 by comparing with a constant threshold value with the integrated signal. For example, the analyzer 50 detects the timing when the integrated signal exceeds the threshold value as the passing timing of the turbine blade 330. The analyzer 50 may be configured to detect the timing below the threshold as the passing timing of the turbine blade 330, or may be based on both the timing above the threshold and the timing below the threshold. It may be configured to detect the passage timing of the turbine blade 330.
[0028]
The analyzer 50 may be configured to further analyze the vibration state of the turbine blade 330 based on the detected passing timing. Further, the analyzer 50 may be configured to output information indicating the detected passage timing to another device.
[0029]
(Structure of rotary machine according to comparative example)
Hereinafter, the rotary machine 400 according to the comparative example will be described. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram for explaining the configuration of the rotary machine 400 including the detection device 200 according to the comparative example.
[0030]
As shown in FIG. 3, the rotary machine 400 according to the comparative example includes a rotary shaft 310, a rotary speed detection sensor 320 configured to detect the number of revolutions, and one or more pieces that rotate around the rotary shaft 310. It includes a turbine blade 330 and a detection device 200. The detection device 200 includes a sensor 10, an A / D converter 40, and an analyzer 50.
[0031]
As described above, the configuration of the rotary machine 400 according to the comparative example is different from the configuration of the rotary machine 300 according to the embodiment in that the integrator 20 and the high-pass filter 30 are not provided. Other than that, the configuration is basically the same.
[0032]
(Detection principle of the detection device according to the comparative example)
The detection device 200 of the rotary machine 400 according to the comparative example analyzes a signal based on the induced electromotive force (the waveform after A / D conversion of the waveform of the induced electromotive force) and detects the passing timing of the turbine blade 330. FIG. 4 is a waveform diagram showing a signal based on the induced electromotive force according to the comparative example.
[0033]
In the example shown in FIG. 4, the signal based on the induced electromotive force vibrates up and down each time the turbine blade 330 passes. FIG. 4 shows the temporal change of the signal based on the induced electromotive force when the three turbine blades 330 pass through. The horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents signal strength (for example, the voltage value of induced electromotive force).
[0034]
When such a waveform is obtained, set the reference timing at an arbitrary position and set a certain threshold value (trigger voltage value when the waveform is a voltage waveform). For example, the timing at which the signal strength exceeds the threshold value is detected as the passing timing of the turbine blade 330. Therefore, the threshold value is set so that one passage timing is detected each time the turbine blade 330 passes.
[0035]
The passing timing is detected as a time difference from the reference timing indicated by the dotted line a1. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4, the passage timing is detected as t0 for the passage of the first turbine blade 330, t1 for the passage of the second turbine blade 330, and t2 for the passage of the third turbine blade 330. Has been done. When the number of turbine blades 330 of the rotary machine 400 is, for example, 40, the passing timings of t0 to t39 are detected.
[0036]
When detecting the vibration of the turbine blade 330 based on such passage timing, the passage timings of the same turbine blade 330 are compared with each other. For example, it is possible to compare t1 at the third rotation with t1 at the fourth rotation, detect a deviation in the passing timing, and confirm the vibration state of the turbine blade 330 according to the deviation. The deviation may be detected every one rotation or every few rotations. Vibration detection may be performed by the analyzer 50.
[0037]
The waveform of the signal based on the induced electromotive force will be different depending on the shape of the turbine blade 330. Therefore, depending on the shape of the turbine blade 330, the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 may not be accurately detected by the detection principle of the detection device 200 according to the comparative example. Therefore, the shapes of the three turbine blades 330 will be illustrated below, and the waveforms of the signals based on the induced electromotive force when the turbine blades 330 have passed will be described below.
[0038]
FIG. 5A is a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between the shape of the turbine blade 330 (330A) and the sensor sensitivity range. FIG. 5B is a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between the shape of the turbine blade 330 (330B) and the sensor sensitivity range. FIG. 5C is a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between the shape of the turbine blade 330 (330C) and the sensor sensitivity range. These turbine blades 330 (330A, 330B, 330C) are single blades in which adjacent blades are not connected to each other. The sensor sensitivity widths shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C indicate the width of a region where the turbine blade 330 can affect the induced electromotive force of the sensor 10.
[0039]
FIG. 6A is a waveform diagram showing a signal based on the induced electromotive force corresponding to FIG. 5A. FIG. 6B is a waveform diagram showing a signal based on the induced electromotive force corresponding to FIG. 5B. FIG. 6C is a waveform diagram showing a signal based on the induced electromotive force corresponding to FIG. 5C. These waveform diagrams show waveforms based on the induced electromotive force when the three turbine blades 330 pass through, respectively. The horizontal axis is the time axis, and the vertical axis is the voltage value.
[0040]
As shown in FIG. 5A, when the width of the turbine blade 330 (330A) is smaller than the sensitivity width of the sensor 10 and the tip (radial outer end face) of the turbine blade 330 (330A) is flat, FIG. 6A shows. A waveform showing a signal based on the induced electromotive force shown is obtained. In this case, it is conceivable to set a threshold as shown in FIG. 4 to detect the passing timing of the turbine blade 330.
[0041]
However, the amplitude of the signal based on the induced electromotive force becomes small when the rotation speed is low. That is, the change (peak value) in the signal strength accompanying the passage of the turbine blade 330 (330A) becomes small. In this case, even if the signal intensity based on the induced electromotive force is a peak value, the threshold value may not be reached, and the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 (330A) may not be detected.
[0042]
As shown in FIG. 5B, when the width of the turbine blade 330 (330B) is larger than the sensitivity width of the sensor 10 and the tip of the turbine blade 330 (330B) is flat, the signal based on the induced electromotive force shown in FIG. 6B is shown. A waveform showing the above is obtained. In this case, it is conceivable to set a threshold as shown in FIG. 4 to detect the passing timing of the turbine blade 330. Even in this case, when the rotation speed is low, the change in signal strength (peak value) becomes small, so that the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 (330B) may not be detected.
[0043]
As shown in FIG. 5C, when the width of the turbine blade 330 (330C) is larger than the sensitivity width of the sensor 10 and the turbine blade 330 (330C) has an uneven shape at the tip (radial outer end face), FIG. 6C A waveform showing a signal based on the induced electromotive force shown in is obtained. The induced electromotive force detected based on the passage of such a turbine blade 330 (330C) tends to have a plurality of peak voltages passing through 0V with respect to the passage of one turbine blade 330 (330C).
[0044]
In this case, the waveform of the signal based on the induced electromotive force becomes a waveform that is not suitable for detecting the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 (330C), and it becomes difficult to accurately detect the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 (330C). There is. For example, there is a possibility that the passage of one turbine blade 330 (330C) and its detection timing do not correspond to one-to-one. Further, when the rotation speed is low, the change (peak value) of the signal strength becomes small, so that there is a possibility that the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 (330B) cannot be detected.
[0045]
As described above, according to the detection device 200 of the rotary machine 400 according to the comparative example, there is a possibility that the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 cannot be detected accurately. Therefore, the detection principle of the detection device 100 according to the embodiment will be described below.
[0046]
(Detection principle of the detection device according to one embodiment)
The detection device 100 of the rotary machine 300 according to the embodiment analyzes not a signal based on the induced electromotive force but an integrated signal (a waveform after A / D conversion of the waveform of the integrated signal) obtained by integrating the signal, and the turbine blade. The passing timing of 330 is detected. FIG. 7 is a waveform diagram for explaining the relationship between various signals of the detection device 100 according to the embodiment.
[0047]
This figure shows the temporal changes of various signals when three turbine blades 330 pass. The horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents signal strength (for example, voltage value). Specifically, this figure shows the waveform 61 based on the induced electromotive force, which is the output signal of the sensor 10 shown in FIG. 1, and the output signal of the high-pass filter 30 shown in FIG. 1 (integrated signal after removing low frequency noise). ) And the waveform 63 analyzed by the analyzer 50 are shown in a timing chart format.
[0048]
As shown in FIG. 7, in the waveform 61 showing a signal based on the induced electromotive force, the signal strength changes so as to vibrate up and down each time the turbine blade 330 passes. This waveform 61 is basically the same as the waveform shown in FIG. 6A. The waveform 62 corresponds to the integration of the waveform 61. Therefore, in the waveform 62, the signal strength reaches the peak value at the timing corresponding to the zero crossing point of the vertical vibration accompanying the passage of the turbine blade 330 in the waveform 61. Further, the waveform 62 is such that the inclination is positive at the position where the waveform 61 takes a positive value and the inclination is negative at the position where the waveform 61 takes a negative value.
[0049]
The waveform 63 is basically the same waveform as the waveform 62. The waveform 63 differs from the waveform 62 in that a threshold value (trigger voltage) is set. The analyzer 50 of the detection device 100 detects the timing when the voltage value exceeds the threshold value in the waveform 63 as the passing timing of the turbine blade 330.
[0050]
As described above, according to the detection device 100, the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 is detected based on the integrated signal in which the influence of the time differential term of the magnetic flux is reduced. Even if the rotation speed of the turbine blade 330 changes, the change in the waveform of the integrated signal is small. Further, the change in the peak value of the integrated signal due to the change in the rotation speed of the turbine blade 330 is also small. Therefore, even during the change in the number of revolutions, the positional relationship between the turbine blade 330 and the sensor 10 at the timing when the threshold value is reached is the same. Therefore, according to the detection device 100, it is possible to improve the detection accuracy of the passing timing of the turbine blade 330.
[0051]
The waveform of the integrated signal will be different depending on the shape of the turbine blade 330. Therefore, the waveforms of the integrated signals in the shapes of the three turbine blades 330 will be described below.
[0052]
FIG. 8A is a waveform diagram showing an integrated signal corresponding to FIG. 5A. FIG. 8B is a waveform diagram showing an integrated signal corresponding to FIG. 5B. FIG. 8C is a waveform diagram showing an integrated signal corresponding to FIG. 5C. These waveform diagrams show the integrated signals when the three turbine blades 330 pass through, respectively. The horizontal axis is the time axis, and the vertical axis is the voltage value.
[0053]
In the waveform shown in FIG. 8A, the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 can be detected in the same manner as in the case shown in FIG. 7. The turbine blade 330 (330B) shown in FIG. 5B has a flat tip having a wider width with respect to the sensitivity width of the sensor 10 than the turbine blade 330 (330A) shown in FIG. 5A. In this case, since the change in magnetic flux when the flat portion at the tip of the turbine blade 330 (330B) passes is small, the change in magnetic flux is small.The waveform shown in FIG. 8B has a gentle shape near the peak value as compared with the waveform shown in FIG. 8A. Also in the waveform shown in FIG. 8B, the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 can be detected in the same manner as in the waveform shown in FIG. 8A.
[0054]
In the waveform shown in FIG. 8C, a dent is generated in the variable portion when one turbine blade 330 (330C) passes, corresponding to the uneven shape of the tip (outer peripheral surface) of the turbine blade 330 (330C). However, only one peak voltage passes through 0V. Further, the voltage value of the waveform when the concave portion at the tip of the turbine blade 330 (330C) passes through the center position of the sensitivity width of the sensor 10 is the voltage value of the waveform when the turbine blade 330 (330C) deviates from the sensitivity width of the sensor 10. It is larger than the voltage value of the waveform.
[0055]
Therefore, stable passage timing can be detected by setting a threshold value lower than the voltage value of the waveform when the concave portion at the tip of the turbine blade 330 (330C) passes through the center position of the sensitivity width of the sensor 10. Will be. As described above, according to the detection device 100, it is possible to accurately detect the passing timing of the turbine blades 330 (330A, 330B, 330C).
[0056]
Hereinafter, the rotary machine 300 provided with the turbine blade 330 (330D), which is a shroud connecting blade, will be described. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing an arrangement example of the sensor 10 in which the turbine blade 330 (330D) is a shroud connecting blade. When detecting the passage timing of the turbine blade 330 (330D) which is a shroud connecting blade, the sensor 10 is arranged near the axial end surface of the shroud portion 331 of the turbine blade 330 (330D) as shown in FIG. .. The sensor 10 may be arranged on the front edge side of the blade portion of the turbine blade 330 (330D) as in the sensor (10A) shown in FIG. 9, or may be arranged on the front edge side of the blade portion as in the sensor (10B) shown in FIG. It may be arranged on the trailing edge side of the wing portion of 330 (330D). Whether to install the sensor 10 on the front edge side or the trailing edge side of the blade portion of the turbine blade 330 (330D) is determined by, for example, analysis to confirm the vibration mode (vibration mode shape) of the blade and to measure the large amplitude. You may choose the one that is more advantageous.
[0057]
FIG. 10 is a waveform diagram for explaining the relationship between various signals of the detection device 100 according to the embodiment. This figure shows the temporal changes of various signals when three turbine blades 330 (330D) pass through. The horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents signal strength (for example, voltage value). Specifically, this figure shows the waveform 64 based on the induced electromotive force, which is the output signal of the sensor 10 shown in FIG. 1, and the output signal of the high-pass filter 30 shown in FIG. 1 (integrated signal after removing low frequency noise). ) And the waveform 66 analyzed by the analyzer 50 are shown in a timing chart format.
[0058]
Unlike the case of the single blade turbine blade 330 (330A, 330B, 330C), the turbine blade 330 (330D), which is a shroud connecting blade, has no boundary between the presence and absence of the blade when viewed from the sensor 10. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, in the waveform 64 based on the induced electromotive force, the signal strength changes so as to vibrate up and down each time the turbine blade 330 (330D) passes. However, this waveform 64 is a gentle waveform without a flat portion as compared with the waveform shown in FIG. 6A.
[0059]
When detecting the passage of the turbine blade 330 (330D) with respect to the waveform 64 based on the induced electromotive force, the detection timing greatly fluctuates according to the magnitude of a certain threshold (trigger voltage) set. In addition, the amplitude (peak value) of fluctuation during passage tends to fluctuate according to the number of rotations. Therefore, unless a constant threshold value (trigger voltage) is set near the peak value, the detection timing is greatly deviated due to a change in the number of rotations. That is, the positional relationship between the turbine blade 330 (330D) and the sensor 10 changes each time it is detected.
[0060]
Therefore, if a certain threshold (trigger voltage) is set near the peak value, the deviation of the detection timing due to the change in the rotation speed becomes small. However, when a certain threshold value (trigger voltage) is set near the peak value, there is a possibility that the passage of the turbine blade 330 (330D) cannot be detected when the peak value decreases due to a change in the rotation speed.
[0061]
As described above, it is difficult to appropriately set a threshold value for the waveform 64 based on the induced electromotive force. Therefore, in a configuration that detects the passage of the turbine blade 330 (330D) based on the induced electromotive force as in the detection device 100 according to the comparative example, the detection accuracy may decrease.
[0062]
On the other hand, the waveform 65 corresponds to the integration of the waveform 64. Therefore, the waveform 64 takes a peak value at the timing corresponding to the zero crossing point of the vertical vibration accompanying the passage of the turbine blade 330 (330D) of the waveform 63. Further, the waveform 65 is such that the inclination is positive at the position where the waveform 64 takes a positive value and the inclination is negative at the position where the waveform 64 takes a negative value.
[0063]
The waveform 66 is basically the same waveform as the waveform 65. The waveform 66 differs from the waveform 65 in that a threshold value (trigger voltage) is set. The analyzer 50 of the detection device 100 detects the timing when the voltage value exceeds the threshold value in the waveform 66 as the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 (330D).
[0064]
In this case, the fluctuation of the detection timing is small according to the magnitude of the set constant threshold (trigger voltage). In addition, the amplitude (peak value) of fluctuation during passage is unlikely to fluctuate according to the number of rotations. That is, it is also possible to reduce the fluctuation of the positional relationship between the turbine blade 330 (330D) and the sensor 10 each time the detection is performed. Therefore, it is possible to set a constant threshold value (trigger voltage) other than near the peak value. Further, since the setting range of the threshold value is not limited to the vicinity of the peak value, the passage of the turbine blade 330 (330D) can be detected even if the peak value is lowered due to the change in the rotation speed. Therefore, according to the detection device 100, it is possible to accurately detect the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 (330D).
[0065]
FIG. 11 is a waveform diagram for comparing a signal based on the induced electromotive force of the detection device 100 according to the embodiment and an integrated signal. In this figure, the region between the dotted line b1 and the dotted line b2 and the region between the dotted line b3 and the dotted line b4 indicate the settable range of the threshold value, respectively.
[0066]
As shown in FIG. 11, in the turbine blade 330 (330D) which is a shroud connecting blade, when a threshold value (for example, a trigger voltage) is set for a signal waveform 64 based on an induced electromotive force, the threshold value can be set. (The area between the dotted line b1 and the dotted line b2) is narrow. However, when a threshold value (for example, a trigger voltage) is set for the waveform 65 of the integrated signal, the threshold value can be set within the settable range (dotted line b3 and dotted line b4) even when the turbine blade 330 (330D) is a shroud connecting blade. Area between) is wide. Therefore, according to the detection device 100, it is possible to easily set the threshold value appropriately.
[0067]
(Method of setting the threshold value of the detection device 100 according to the embodiment)
Hereinafter, a method for setting a preferable threshold value in the detection device 100 for detecting the passage timing of the turbine blade 330 (330D), which is a shroud connecting blade, will be described.
[0068]
FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing the vibration displacement of the turbine blade 330 (330D), which is a shroud connecting blade. This figure shows a view of the axial end of the turbine blade 330 (330D) from the outside in the radial direction. In this figure, the vertical direction indicates the axial direction, and the horizontal direction indicates the circumferential direction, that is, the rotation direction.
[0069]
As shown by the solid line in FIG. 12, the axial end of the shroud portion 331 of the turbine blade 330 (330D) is curved. The turbine blade 330 (330D) may, for example, vibrate in the axial direction as shown by the dotted line c1 and may also vibrate slightly in the circumferential direction. Such vibration affects the detection timing when the turbine blade 330 (330D) passes.
[0070]
When vibration occurs, the position (position in the moving direction) of the turbine blade 330 (330D) that reaches a certain threshold shifts. For example, when a threshold value is set such that a trigger is applied at a predetermined axial position of the turbine blade 330 (330D), a time lag of Δt2 occurs with respect to the case where the turbine blade 330 (330D) is not vibrating. Here, when estimating the actual amplitude Δx of the blade, the actual amplitude Δx is calculated in advance by using the ratio of the deviation amount Δt2 of the detection time and the vibration displacement ratio Δx of the blade by numerical analysis or the like. However, if the trigger is applied at a position different from the assumption due to improper setting of the threshold value, the actually detected time lag may be, for example, Δt1 larger than Δt2. If the actual amplitude Δx of the blade is obtained by the above ratio while the threshold value is inappropriate, an amplitude value different from the actual one will be obtained.
[0071]
From this, it can be seen that the estimation error of the amplitude due to the deviation of the trigger position can be reduced by setting the threshold value to an appropriate value. Hereinafter, a method of setting a threshold value in the detection device 100 according to the embodiment will be described.
[0072]
FIG. 13 is a conceptual diagram for explaining a method of setting a threshold value in the detection device 100 according to the embodiment. In this figure, the shape of the end of the shroud portion 331 is shown in the upper position, the waveform 67 showing the integrated signal is shown in the middle position, and the waveform 68 of the signal based on the induced electromotive force is shown in the lower position. The region between the dotted line d1 and the dotted line d2 and the region between the dotted line d3 and the dotted line d4 indicate the settable range of the threshold value, respectively. θ1 and θ2 indicate the inclination of the shroud portion 331 axial end face with respect to the circumferential direction, respectively.
[0073]
As shown in FIG. 13, the inclination (for example, θ1, θ2) of the shroud portion 331 axial end face with respect to the circumferential direction changes depending on the circumferential position. It is preferable to set the threshold value so that the position where the inclination does not change easily becomes the trigger position with respect to the fluctuation of the circumferential position. By setting in this way, it is possible to reduce the estimation error of the amplitude due to the deviation of the trigger position.
[0074]
Specifically, first, in FIG. 13, it is assumed that the peak position of the output voltage of the integrator 20 (the peak position of the waveform 67) is the top of the shroud portion 331. From the angle deviation with respect to this position, it is possible to estimate which position of the shroud portion 331 the detection region of the sensor 10 rests on.
[0075]
For example, when the turbine blade 330 (330D) is vibrating in the circumferential direction, the detection error due to the change in the inclination θ (for example, θ1, θ2) increases in proportion to the amount of change in tan θ. The threshold value is adjusted so that the trigger is applied to a position where the amount of change is sufficiently small. The permissible change amount (permissible error) of tan θ is preferably, for example, about 5%, and a threshold value is set in the range of (1-tan θ1 / tan θ 2) <± 5%. As can be seen from the waveform 67 and the waveform 68, it is difficult to adjust the threshold in the waveform 68 based on the induced electromotive force because the threshold setting range is narrow, and in the waveform 67 showing the integrated signal, the threshold is set. It is easy because of its wide range.
[0076]
In order to set such a threshold, first, the reference waveform of the integrated signal is acquired while rotating the turbine blade 330 (330D). Next, among the shroud portions 331 of the turbine blade 330 (330D), the passage time zone of the detection range in which the inclination θ of the axial end face of the shroud portion 331 with respect to the circumferential direction falls within the specified range is specified on the reference waveform. Specify the range of change of the integrated signal on the reference waveform in the transit time zone. Next, the threshold value is set within the specified change width.
[0077]
The specified range may be the range of the inclination θ determined from the tolerance (absolute standard), or the range of the inclination θ determined by comparison with the inclination θ at other positions (relative reference). You may. When the integrated signal is a voltage waveform, the threshold value is a set value of the trigger voltage as shown in FIG. However, since the integrated signal is not limited to the voltage waveform, the threshold value is not limited to the set value of the trigger voltage. For example, the integrated signal does not have to be a voltage because the integrated signal may be an integral by arithmetic processing.However, the threshold is not limited to the trigger voltage.
[0078]
The detection range in which the inclination θ falls within the specified range is located on the negative pressure surface side of the blade portion of the turbine blade 330 (330D) in the shroud portion 331 of the turbine blade 330 (330D), and the turbine blade 330 is located in the circumferential direction. It is preferable that the axial end face on the front edge side or the rear edge side of (330D) is an inclined region. In this case, it is possible to further improve the detection accuracy of the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 (330D).
[0079]
According to the above method, in the detection of the passing timing of the shroud connecting blade, a threshold value can be set so as to enable robust detection for the vibration of the shroud connecting blade. The setting of such a threshold may be automatically executed by the detection device 100 or may be manually executed by the user.
[0080] [0080]
(Detection method according to one embodiment)
Hereinafter, the procedure of the detection method according to one embodiment will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the detection method according to the embodiment. Here, an example in which the turbine blade 330 (330D) is a shroud connecting blade and the above-mentioned threshold value is set will be described. If the threshold has already been set, or if the turbine blade 330 is not a shroud connecting blade, steps S1 to S4 described later may be omitted.
[0081]
First, in the detection method for detecting the passage timing of the turbine blade 330 (330D), a threshold value is set as a preliminary preparation. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, in a state where the turbine blade 330 is rotated, the sensor 10 of the detection device 100 detects an induced electromotive force based on a change in magnetic flux accompanying the passage of the turbine blade 330 (330D). (Step S1). The integrator 20 of the detection device 100 acquires a reference waveform of the integrated signal obtained by integrating the signal based on the induced electromotive force (step S2).
[0082]
Here, among the shroud portions 331 of the turbine blade (330D), the passage time zone of the detection range in which the inclination of the shroud portion 331 with respect to the circumferential direction is within the specified range is specified on the reference waveform, and the passage time thereof is specified. The change width of the integrated signal on the reference waveform in the band is specified (step S3). A constant threshold value (for example, trigger voltage) is set within the specified change width (step S4). Since the setting of the threshold value is completed at this stage, the subsequent steps S5 and S6 are procedures for executing the detection operation of the passing timing of the turbine blade 330.
[0083]
The sensor 10 of the detection device 100 detects the induced electromotive force based on the change in the magnetic flux accompanying the passage of the turbine blade 330 (330D) (step S5). The analyzer 50 detects the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 (330D) based on the integrated signal obtained by integrating the signal based on the induced electromotive force (step S6).
[0084]
According to such a detection method, the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 (330D) is detected based on the integrated signal in which the influence of the time differential term of the magnetic flux is reduced. Even if the rotation speed of the turbine blade 330 (330D) changes, the change in the waveform of the integrated signal is small. Further, the change in the peak value of the integrated signal due to the change in the rotation speed of the turbine blade 330 (330D) is also small. Therefore, according to such a method, it is possible to improve the detection accuracy of the passing timing of the turbine blade 330 (330D).
