Description:
The connecting rod is the key moving part of a reciprocating compressor, of which the stress state is extremely complicate and the wear fault of the small end is always a bottleneck problem in the field of fault monitoring and diagnosing. This paper is aimed to present a new method to diagnose the above wear fault. Firstly, a contact model of a clearance in the revolute joint of the small end of a connecting rod bearing (SECRB) was established and a multi-body simulation tool was utilized to simulate the slider-crank mechanism with a clearance, from which the dynamic influence of wear gap in SECRB of a slider-crank mechanism was obtained. Based on the study above, we extracted the characteristics of the wear fault of SECRB and then proposed a brand new approach to monitoring and diagnosing this wear fault by analyzing the angle domain of vibration signals. The availability was verified by conducting an experiment on a reciprocating compressor. And the experimental results show th...
