Abrégé
In a loose parts monitoring method and device, occurrence of an error alarm is prevented as much as possible and highly reliability is obtained. Among first to sixth error signal determination steps, in the second error signal determination step, whether a signal is true or false is determined on the basis of a rising gradient of a waveform of impact, that is, change in sound intensity, in the third error signal determination step, whether a signal is true or false is determined on the basis of attenuation period of a waveform of an impact sound, that is, change in sound intensity, in the fourth error signal determination step, whether a signal is true or false is determined on the basis of a frequency spectrum, that is, distribution of frequency of sound (pitch), and in the sixth error signal determination step, whether a signal is true or false is comprehensively determined on the basis of comparison of a detected signal and a signal which has been determined to be an error in the each error signal determination step, that is, change in sound intensity, distribution of frequency of sound, and loudness. As a result, accuracy of determination of whether a detected signal is true or false is significantly improved and loose parts are monitored with extremely low probability of error alarm.
Provided is a motor dev ice diagnosis method capable of obtaining an accurate and reliable diagnosis result A motor diagnosis is performed according to an electric signal corresponding to correlation between the electric amount inputted to a motor device and other physical amount obtained by the motor device. Thus, a diagnosis is performed according to correlation between the electric signal corresponding to the electric amount inputted to the motor device and other physical amount obtained by the motor device side. For example, when the motor device is an electric valve driven by a rotation force of a motor, a diagnosis can be performed according to an electric signal corresponding to the electric amount inputted to the motor and a yoke stress generated in a yoke of the electric valve. Moreover, when the motor device is an atomic reactor control rod driven by a magnetic drive force of an electromagnetic coil, a diagnosis of the motor device can be performed according to the correlation between the electric signal corresponding to the electric amount inputted to the electromagnetic coil and an oscillation sensor during operation of the control rod drive device. Thus, it is possible to easily and rapidly perform the diagnosis work with a high accuracy.
