Abstract: To provide a motor-operated valve diagnosing device capable of making a highly accurate diagnosis at a low cost. In a motor-operated valve diagnosing device for diagnosing a motor-operated valve having a motor-operated valve having a valve element driving part for opening and closing a valve element, and a spring cartridge which expands and contracts in proportion to a reaction force exerted thereon from the valve element driving part, a spring compression mechanism or a worm displacement measuring means is configured to be attached to the valve element driving part via an adapter. With this configuration, the spring compression mechanism and so on can be easily attached to and removed from the valve element driving part.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for diagnosis of a motor-operated valve for determining the degree of abnormality of the motor-operated valve in which rotational driving force of a driving motor 1 is mechanically transmitted to drive a valve disc 8 to an open or close position. The on-off timing of driving energy to the driving motor 1 is determined based on signal information from a plurality of magnetisms sensors 16 attached to a power cable tube 15 housing a power cable 14 or control line for driving the driving motor 1. The timing when the driving energy to the driving motor 1 is turned on and off when the valve disc 8 is shifted to an open or close position can be determined precisely.

Abstract: A torque measuring method and apparatus for a motor-operated valve including a valve driving mechanism operable to open and close the valve, a worm displacable by driving of the motor to operate the valve driving mechanism, and a spring cartridge having a plurality of belleville springs and disposed coaxially with the worm for compression by the worm. The method comprises obtaining basic data representing a relationship between the amounts of compression of the belleville springs and the torques exerted, measuring a displacement of the worm or the spring cartridge and acquiring, from the thus obtained displacement of the worm or the spring cartridge, a real amount of compression of the belleville springs in which an influence of a play of the spring cartridge has been removed, and substituting the real amount of compression for the amount of compression of the basic data to acquire a real torque corresponding to the real amount of compression.

Abstract: The invention diagnoses an electrically operated valve, which is provided with a spring cartridge expanding and contracting in response to a reaction force acting on an axial direction of a worm in a valve element driving section, at both the opening and closing operations of the valve. A correlation between a driving force output signal from the valve element driving section and a driving force from a compression state of the spring cartridge is provided in a database. Then, a correlation between a driving force input signal to the valve element driving section and the driving force output signal is acquired in order to monitor a change in transmission efficiency of the driving force. Then, a driving force corresponding to a measured yoke stress is read out from the database for use in diagnosing the driving force of the electrically operated valve is diagnosed.
