  • Patent number: 11972642
    Abstract: The present invention provides a rotating machinery diagnosis and monitoring device and method which have high reliability and enable the grasping of a symptom trend of vibrations and a determination of progress of the vibrations during increase and decrease in the rotation speed of a rotor. A rotating machinery diagnosis and monitoring device of the present invention, comprising: an input section that receives vibration values and rotation speeds as operation data of a rotating machine; a computing section that performs computations using the operation data received; and a calculator that includes an output section. The computing section is configured to identify peak values of the vibration values and evaluate each of magnitude of the peak values and the rotation speeds at the peak values. The output section is configured to display externally a result of evaluations performed by the computing section.

  • Patent number: 11886831
    Abstract: The present invention provides a data sorting device and method and a monitoring and diagnosis device, which are able to create a model conveniently. A data sorting device and a monitoring and diagnosis device of the present invention include an operating data database which stores operating data of the plant equipment in a time-series manner. The devices input the operating data that are highly associated physically and engineeringly among the operating data stored in the operating data database, inputting processing attributes relevant to the operating data that are highly associated physically and engineeringly, creating a model simulating characteristics of the plant equipment, and performing data sorting, monitoring, and diagnosis through use of the model.

  • Patent number: 11650577
    Abstract: A plant operation data monitoring device comprises: an input section that receives operation data on a plant; and a calculator that includes databases storing the operation data received, and a computing section executing a program. The computing section stores the operation data received in a first database of the databases in time series. The computing section determines from peak values of the operation data stored whether gradients of the operation data are positive or negative, and then stores the gradients in a second database of the databases for positive gradients or in the second database of the databases for negative gradients in time series. The computing section determines threshold values for abnormality determination about the positive and negative gradients, divides the positive gradients and the negative gradients into normal values and abnormal values, and additionally stores the divided gradients in the second database for the positive or negative gradients.

  • Patent number: 11456647
    Abstract: A rotating electrical machine of the present invention evaluates a relative displacement of members and improves reliability further even when two or more members operate or move. A rotating electrical machine of the present invention comprises a stator and a rotor disposed on an inner side of the stator with a predetermined gap. The stator includes vibration measuring devices, each of the vibration measuring devices placed on each of at least two members included in the stator, the members having different displacements or phases with each other. The rotating electrical machine includes a device that acquires a relative displacement of one of the members included in the stator by evaluating a difference between displacements or phases measured by the vibration measuring devices and that evaluates a lifetime of the one of the members included in the stator based on the relative displacement.
