Real-Time Condition Monitoring and Health Assessment of Equipment Power Transmission Device Based on Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

The high requirements on the integrity and operational reliability of the equipment in the process of carrying out tasks is required by the ships and other major equipment. To ensure the long-term safe and healthy operation of their power transmission devices is one of the key links to achieve this requirement. In response to this urgent need, the real-time monitoring and health assessment method of equipment power transmission based on wireless sensor network is researched, and the related software and hardware prototype systems is constructed, after that, the system testing and use verification in actual tasks of ships are carried out. The verification results show that the prototype system can complete the online collection and analysis of vibration and temperature data of the key parts of the ship's power transmission device, and the real-time monitoring and health assessment of the power transmission device condition is effective. As a result of that, the maintenance workload is reduced effectively while work efficiency is improving.
