Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for vibration compensation in a piston compressor, the piston compressor of which is driven by means of a crankshaft from a three-phase motor or the like controlled by a frequency converter. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a piston compressor which is equipped with such a device.
- the field of application of the invention extends primarily to vehicles, in particular rail vehicles. Since the installation space in vehicles is limited in principle, very compact piston compressors are usually used for this purpose, on which an electric motor is flanged directly, usually multi-stage piston compressors, in order to drive the piston compressor.
- the load torque M L of a piston compressor in combination with the torque M M of a driving motor, generates an exciter torque about the axis of rotation of the entire piston compressor, which leads to undesirable torsional vibrations. Since, in the case of piston compressors of the type of interest here, the torque M M of the motor follows the load torque M L of the piston compressor with a time delay, the excitation torque increases unfavorably.
- EP 1 242 741 A1 describes the problem of vibration excitation of piston compressors by load torque M L and motor torque M M and measures to reduce vibrations, which are part of the types of two-stage piston compressors lead to reduced vibration excitation.
- flywheel masses were used between the engine and the piston compressor, which counteract the excitation of vibrations.
- this technical solution requires a corresponding amount of material and generates an associated increase in weight.
- the EP 3 098 448 A1 discloses a method for controlling an electric drive of an electrically driven air compressor. With this method, the load torque is estimated based on an operating parameter in order to reduce the control error on the control loop caused by the load torque.

- piston compressors are usually operated with three-phase motors, which are assigned a frequency converter.
- the piston compressor can be controlled with variable speed, in particular to ensure a needs-based To realize compressed air generation within the framework of a corresponding regulation, taking into account minimum switch-on times, intermittent operation intervals and the like.
- the object is achieved based on a method according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with its characterizing features.
- the object according to claim 7 is achieved in terms of installation technology.
- the dependent claims refer back to advantageous developments of the invention.
- the invention includes the procedural teaching that the current position of the crankshaft of the piston compressor is first determined for vibration compensation, and based on this, a torque M M is specified for the driving three-phase motor by a frequency converter that the Load torque M L of the piston compressor follows, that is, corresponds to this, in order to reduce the vibration excitation of the entire piston compressor. Since the oscillation excitation of the piston compressor arises from the difference between the torque M M of the driving motor and the load moment M L , the oscillation excitation resulting therefrom can be eliminated by a control based on the solution according to the invention. Flywheel masses between the motor and the piston compressor can be reduced or they can be dispensed with entirely.
- a three-phase motor used within the scope of the solution according to the invention is preferably understood to be a three-phase asynchronous motor or a synchronous reluctance motor.
- Torque M M specified for the three-phase motor preferably corresponds to the course of the load torque, including a phase length.
- the torque M M specified for the three-phase motor corresponds to the first order of the load torque curve.
- a vibration compensation method that is quite easy to implement but very effective consists in simulating only the first-order component in the engine torque M M . Higher orders are neglected.
- the basis for this is the elastic bearing of the piston compressor. This bearing is designed in such a way that excitations above a certain frequency are kept away from the adjacent structures. This has proved to be sufficient under the circumstances. Higher orders are largely kept away from the elastic bearings. For this reason it is sufficient to eliminate vibration excitations up to and including the first order with the method according to the invention.
- the deviation of the load torque M L of the piston compressor following the torque M M for the three-phase motor is set in such a way that it is less than 30%.
- the torque M M of the three-phase motor only approximately follows the load moment M L of the piston compressor, which nevertheless results in effective vibration compensation.
- the entire vibration behavior can be improved by up to 70% by the electronic compensation according to the invention, with the vibration paths of the piston compressor being significantly reduced, particularly at low speeds.
- the torque M M generated by the three-phase motor is generated by varying the supply voltage and/or varying the pulse width in the converter.
- an increase in the torque M M can be achieved by briefly increasing the pulse width.
- the pulsating load torques usually generated by the piston compressor are smoothed out within the compressor, so that the resulting vibration excitation is further minimized.
- torque compensation is achieved by counter-regulating the motor current.
- the torque peak can be compensated for by controlling the IGBT pulse width accordingly and thus by changing the motor current at that moment.
- a correspondingly fast control and stable intermediate circuit voltage are required for this so-called «space vectoring modulation».
- the torque M M for the three-phase motor can be increased in a simple manner by the frequency converter by a corresponding increase in the operating voltage.
- a control unit provided for carrying out the method for vibration compensation according to the invention can advantageously also be integrated directly in the frequency converter.
- the frequency converter itself is preferably arranged directly on the three-phase motor in order to ensure easy connection to the three-phase source.
- this electronic assembly can also have at least one sensor input, to connect a position sensor arranged in the area of the motor shaft or the crankshaft to measure the current angular position.
- the torque requirement to be readjusted depending on the speed is preferably stored in the logic of the control unit implemented in the frequency converter.
- the piston compressor 1 shows a piston compressor consisting essentially of a piston compressor 1 and a three-phase motor 2 .
- the piston compressor 1 is designed as a two-stage compressor unit and has two low-pressure cylinders 3a, 3b and a high-pressure cylinder 4 here. Coming from the atmosphere, the compressed air is first precompressed in the low-pressure cylinder 3a, 3b and then brought to an even higher pressure level by the high-pressure cylinder 4 before the compressed air produced is fed to the vehicle for further use.
- the piston compressor 1 has a crankshaft 5, which is driven by the three-phase motor 2, for actuating the piston drive of the pistons—not shown in more detail—of the cylinders 3a, 3b and 4.
- the electric three-phase motor 2 is equipped with a frequency converter 6, via which the connection to a three-phase network 7 takes place.
- the frequency converter 6 is assigned an electronic control unit 8 which is structurally integrated therein.
- the electronic control unit 8 receives the measurement signal from a position sensor 9 which is arranged in the area of the crankshaft 5 and which specifies the current angular position of the crankshaft 5 for the electronic control unit 8 .
- FIG. 2 shows a graphic representation of the torque curve in relation to an entire revolution of 0 to 360° of the crankshaft of a piston compressor of the prior art.
- the average torque of the drive is around 50 Nm (dotted line).
- the curve of the load torque M L shown is characteristic of two-stage piston compressors, as in figure 1 illustrated. The engine only reacts to the dominating pressure peak with a time delay and, as can be seen, builds up the engine torque M M only out of phase at an angular position of the crankshaft of around 0°.
- the maximum engine torque MM of approximately 75 Nm only comes into effect when the load torque ML of the piston compressor has already collapsed, here it has even reached its minimum. Due to this effect, three-phase motors even increase due to the design, the torsional vibration excitation in interaction with the piston compressors driven by it.
- the dominant pressure peak of the load torque M L of around 150 Nm results from the compression of the second stage, namely the high-pressure cylinder.
- the three-phase drive reacts to this pressure peak and builds up its torque M M of the curve shown.
- the area between the load moment M L and the torque M M of the engine is marked here as hatched and represents a measure of the vibration excitation around the crankshaft of the piston compressor. Due to the relatively large area of the hatched area, a relatively high disadvantageous vibration excitation can be assumed.
- FIG 3 shows the torque curve of the torque M M of the motor and the load moment M L of the piston compressor for a full revolution of the crankshaft as a result of the vibration compensation according to the invention.
- the motor is controlled in such a way that its torque M M corresponds to the load moment M L of the piston compressor follows. It follows from this that the content of the area between the load torque M L and the engine torque M M is minimal compared to the embodiment of the prior art explained above, so that very little vibration excitation takes place.
- the driving motor builds up its torque M M synchronously and in this respect in a demand-controlled manner with respect to the load torque M L of the piston compressor to be mastered. Due to only minimal irregularities, there is an equally minimal vibration excitation.
- figure 5 shows the course of the phase currents over time with regard to the three phases of the three-phase motor, which here also turns out to be a fairly uniform respective sine curve due to the almost complete control-technical vibration compensation.
- the torque curve of the torque M M and the load torque M L for a full revolution of the Crankshaft in contrast to the embodiment described above, here only a compensation with regard to the first order of the load torque curve of the piston compressor is carried out by the torque M M of the three-phase motor.
- a significantly smaller and evenly distributed surface area between the curves of the engine torque M M of the variable-speed motor and the load torque M L of the piston compressor contributes as a tightened area to excitation of vibrations.
- the vibration compensation achieved in this way can be regarded as sufficient for the application that is the subject of the invention.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren sowie eine Einrichtung zur Schwingungskompensation bei einem Kolbenkompressor, dessen Kolbenverdichter mittels Kurbelwelle von einem per Frequenzumrichter angesteuerten Drehstrommotor oder dergleichen angetrieben wird. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung auch einen Kolbenkompressor, der mit einer solchen Einrichtung ausgestattet ist.The invention relates to a method and a device for vibration compensation in a piston compressor, the piston compressor of which is driven by means of a crankshaft from a three-phase motor or the like controlled by a frequency converter. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a piston compressor which is equipped with such a device.
Das Einsatzgebiet der Erfindung erstreckt sicht vornehmlich auf Fahrzeuge, insbesondere Schienenfahrzeuge. Da prinzipiell der Bauraum in Fahrzeugen begrenzt ist, kommen hierfür meist recht kompaktbauende Kolbenkompressoren zum Einsatz, an der meist mehrstufige Kolbenverdichter ein Elektromotor direkt angeflanscht ist, um den Kolbenverdichter anzutreiben. Das Lastmoment ML eines Kolbenverdichters erzeugt im Zusammenspiel mit dem Drehmoment MM eines antreibenden Motors ein Erregermoment um die Drehachse des gesamten Kolbenkompressors, welches zu unerwünschten Drehschwingungen führt. Da bei den Kolbenkompressoren der hier interessierenden Art das Drehmoment MM des Motors dem Lastmoment ML des Kolbenverdichtes zeitverzögert folgt, erhöht sich ungünstiger Weise das Erregermoment.The field of application of the invention extends primarily to vehicles, in particular rail vehicles. Since the installation space in vehicles is limited in principle, very compact piston compressors are usually used for this purpose, on which an electric motor is flanged directly, usually multi-stage piston compressors, in order to drive the piston compressor. The load torque M L of a piston compressor, in combination with the torque M M of a driving motor, generates an exciter torque about the axis of rotation of the entire piston compressor, which leads to undesirable torsional vibrations. Since, in the case of piston compressors of the type of interest here, the torque M M of the motor follows the load torque M L of the piston compressor with a time delay, the excitation torque increases unfavorably.

In der Praxis werden Kolbenverdichter meist mit Drehstrommotoren betrieben, welchen ein Frequenzumrichter zugeordnet ist. Mit Hilfe des Frequenzumrichters lässt sich der Kolbenverdichter drehzahlvariabel ansteuern, um insbesondere eine bedarfsgerechte Drucklufterzeugung im Rahmen einer entsprechenden Regelung mit Berücksichtigung von Mindesteinschaltzeiten, Aussetzbetriebintervallen und dergleichen zu realisieren.In practice, piston compressors are usually operated with three-phase motors, which are assigned a frequency converter. With the help of the frequency converter, the piston compressor can be controlled with variable speed, in particular to ensure a needs-based To realize compressed air generation within the framework of a corresponding regulation, taking into account minimum switch-on times, intermittent operation intervals and the like.
Bislang waren Frequenzumrichter, insbesondere solche, die für den Schienenfahrzeugbetrieb ausgelegt wurden, recht aufwendig konstruiert und vor allem recht großbauend. Außerdem versorgen diese sogenannten Hilfsbetriebeumrichter auf Schienenfahrzeugen nicht nur einen einzigen elektrischen Verbraucher, sondern mehrere, wie beispielsweise auch Klimaanlagen, Traktionslüfter, Gerätelüfter, Kompressoren und dergleichen. Deshalb konnte bislang ein solcher gebräuchlicher Hilfsbetriebeumrichter nicht auf einen einzelnen Verbraucher abgestimmt werden.So far, frequency converters, especially those designed for rail vehicle operation, have had a very complex design and, above all, have been quite large. In addition, these so-called auxiliary converters on rail vehicles not only supply a single electrical consumer, but several, such as air conditioning systems, traction fans, device fans, compressors and the like. For this reason, such a conventional auxiliary converter could not previously be tuned to an individual consumer.
Durch Weiterentwicklungen der Umrichtertechnik und eine hohe Verfügbarkeit von hierin zum Einsatz kommenden Leistungselektronikbauteilen liegen aktuell Randbedingungen vor, welche es ermöglichen, Frequenzumrichter direkt einem Antrieb zuzuordnen und diese dort auch zu platzieren.Due to further developments in converter technology and a high availability of power electronic components used here, there are currently boundary conditions that make it possible to assign frequency converters directly to a drive and also to place them there.
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Verfahren sowie eine Einrichtung zur Schwingungskompensation bei einem Kolbenkompressor zu schaffen, das/die mit einfachen technischen Mitteln eine wirksame Schwingungsunterdrückung in jeder Betriebssituation des Kolbenkompressors ermöglicht.It is therefore the object of the present invention to create a method and a device for compensating for vibrations in a piston compressor, which enables effective vibration suppression in every operating situation of the piston compressor using simple technical means.
Die Aufgabe wird ausgehend von einem Verfahren gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 in Verbindung mit dessen kennzeichnenden Merkmalen gelöst. Einrichtungstechnisch wird die Aufgabe nach Anspruch 7 gelöst. Die jeweils rückbezogenen abhängigen Ansprüche geben vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung wieder.The object is achieved based on a method according to the preamble of
Die Erfindung schließt die verfahrenstechnische Lehre ein, dass zur Schwingungskompensation zunächst die aktuelle Position der Kurbelwelle des Kolbenverdichters ermittelt wird, und durch einen Frequenzumrichter hierauf basierend ein Drehmoment MM den antreibenden Drehstrommotor vorgegeben wird, dass dem Lastmoment ML des Kolbenverdichters folgt, diesem also entspricht, um die Schwingungsanregung des gesamten Kolbenkompressors zu reduzieren. Da die Schwingungsanregung des Kolbenkompressors aus der Differenz zwischen Drehmoment MM des antreibenden Motors und Lastmoment ML entsteht, kann durch eine auf der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung basierende Regelung die hieraus resultierende Schwingungsanregung eliminiert werden. Schwungmassen zwischen Motor und Kolbenverdichter können verkleinert werden oder es kann gänzlich hierauf verzichtet werden.The invention includes the procedural teaching that the current position of the crankshaft of the piston compressor is first determined for vibration compensation, and based on this, a torque M M is specified for the driving three-phase motor by a frequency converter that the Load torque M L of the piston compressor follows, that is, corresponds to this, in order to reduce the vibration excitation of the entire piston compressor. Since the oscillation excitation of the piston compressor arises from the difference between the torque M M of the driving motor and the load moment M L , the oscillation excitation resulting therefrom can be eliminated by a control based on the solution according to the invention. Flywheel masses between the motor and the piston compressor can be reduced or they can be dispensed with entirely.
Unter einem im Rahmen der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung zum Einsatz kommenden Drehstrommotor wird vorzugsweise ein Drehstromasynchronmotor oder ein Synchronreluktanzmotor verstanden. Vorzugsweise entspricht das dem Drehstrommotor vorgegebene Drehmoment MM dem Lastmomentenverlauf inklusive einer Phasenlänge. Wobei das dem Drehstrommotor vorgegebene Drehmoment MM der ersten Ordnung des Lastmomentenverlaufs entspricht. Versuche haben ergeben, dass eine recht einfach umzusetzende aber sehr wirksame Schwingungskompensationsmethode darin besteht, eben nur den Anteil der ersten Ordnung im Motormoment MM nachzubilden. Höhere Ordnungen werden dabei vernachlässigt. Grundlage hierfür stellt die elastische Lagerung des Kolbenkompressors dar. Diese Lagerung ist so ausgelegt, dass Anregungen oberhalb einer bestimmten Frequenz von Anschlusskonstruktionen ferngehalten werden. Dies hat sich unter diesen Umständen als hinreichend erwiesen. Höhere Ordnungen werden von den elastischen Lagerungen weitgehend ferngehalten. Aus diesem Grunde ist es ausreichend, Schwingungsanregungen bis einschließlich der ersten Ordnung mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren zu eliminieren.A three-phase motor used within the scope of the solution according to the invention is preferably understood to be a three-phase asynchronous motor or a synchronous reluctance motor. Torque M M specified for the three-phase motor preferably corresponds to the course of the load torque, including a phase length. The torque M M specified for the three-phase motor corresponds to the first order of the load torque curve. Experiments have shown that a vibration compensation method that is quite easy to implement but very effective consists in simulating only the first-order component in the engine torque M M . Higher orders are neglected. The basis for this is the elastic bearing of the piston compressor. This bearing is designed in such a way that excitations above a certain frequency are kept away from the adjacent structures. This has proved to be sufficient under the circumstances. Higher orders are largely kept away from the elastic bearings. For this reason it is sufficient to eliminate vibration excitations up to and including the first order with the method according to the invention.
Ebenso hinreichend ist es wenn die Abweichung des dem Drehmoment MM für den Drehstrommotor folgende Lastmoment ML des Kolbenverdichters derart eingestellt ist, dass dieses kleiner als 30% ist. Im Rahmen dieses Abweichungsbereichs folgt das Drehmoment MM des Drehstrommotors nur annähernd dem Lastmoment ML des Kolbenverdichters, was dennoch eine wirksame Schwingungskompensation ergibt. Im Rahmen aller konstruktiver Randbedingungen hat sich gezeigt, dass das gesamte Schwingungsverhalten durch die erfindungsgemäße elektronische Kompensation um bis zu 70% verbessert werden kann, wobei die Schwingwege des Kolbenkompressors insbesondere bei kleinen Drehzahlen deutlich reduziert werden.It is also sufficient if the deviation of the load torque M L of the piston compressor following the torque M M for the three-phase motor is set in such a way that it is less than 30%. Within this deviation range, the torque M M of the three-phase motor only approximately follows the load moment M L of the piston compressor, which nevertheless results in effective vibration compensation. Within the framework of all structural boundary conditions, it has been shown that the entire vibration behavior can be improved by up to 70% by the electronic compensation according to the invention, with the vibration paths of the piston compressor being significantly reduced, particularly at low speeds.
Gemäß einer weiteren die Erfindung verbessernden Maßnahme wird vorgeschlagen, dass zur Kompensation von Drehzahlschwankungen das vom Drehstrommotor generierte Drehmoment MM durch eine Variation der Speisespannung und/oder eine Variation der Pulsbreite im Umrichter erzeugt wird. Somit kann beispielsweise eine Erhöhung des Drehmoments MM erreicht werden, indem die Pulsbreite kurzzeitig vergrößert wird. Hierdurch werden die gewöhnlich vom Kolbenverdichter erzeugten pulsierenden Lastmomente innerhalb des Kompressors geglättet, so dass die hiervon ausgehende Schwingungsanregung weiter minimiert wird. Da das Drehmoment MM des Drehstrommotors proportional zum Motorstrom ist, wird eine Momentenkompensation durch eine Gegenregelung des Motorstroms erreicht. Die Drehmomentspitze kann durch eine entsprechende Ansteuerung der IGBT-Pulsbreite und somit durch einen in diesem Moment veränderten Motorstrom kompensiert werden. Eine entsprechend schnelle Steuerung und stabile Zwischenkreisspannung sind für diese sogenannte «Space Vectoring Modulation» erforderlich.According to a further measure improving the invention, it is proposed that, to compensate for speed fluctuations, the torque M M generated by the three-phase motor is generated by varying the supply voltage and/or varying the pulse width in the converter. Thus, for example, an increase in the torque M M can be achieved by briefly increasing the pulse width. As a result, the pulsating load torques usually generated by the piston compressor are smoothed out within the compressor, so that the resulting vibration excitation is further minimized. Since the torque M M of the three-phase motor is proportional to the motor current, torque compensation is achieved by counter-regulating the motor current. The torque peak can be compensated for by controlling the IGBT pulse width accordingly and thus by changing the motor current at that moment. A correspondingly fast control and stable intermediate circuit voltage are required for this so-called «space vectoring modulation».
Vorzugsweise kann eine Erhöhung des Drehmoments MM für den Drehstrommotor durch eine entsprechende Erhöhung der Betriebsspannung in einfacher Weise vom Frequenzumrichter durchgeführt werden. Eine zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens zur Schwingungskompensation vorgesehene Steuereinheit kann vorteilhafterweise direkt im Frequenzumrichter mit integriert werden. Der Frequenzumrichter selbst ist vorzugsweise direkt am Drehstrommotor angeordnet, um einen einfachen Anschluss an die Drehstromquelle zu gewährleisten. Außerdem kann diese elektronische Baueinheit auch mindestens einen Sensoreingang aufweisen, um hieran einen im Bereich der Motorwelle oder der Kurbelwelle angeordneten Positionssensor zur Messung der aktuellen Winkelstellung anzuschließen. Vorzugsweise ist der je nach Drehzahl nachzuregelnde Drehmomentenbedarf in der Logik der im Frequenzumrichter implementierten Steuereinheit hinterlegt.Preferably, the torque M M for the three-phase motor can be increased in a simple manner by the frequency converter by a corresponding increase in the operating voltage. A control unit provided for carrying out the method for vibration compensation according to the invention can advantageously also be integrated directly in the frequency converter. The frequency converter itself is preferably arranged directly on the three-phase motor in order to ensure easy connection to the three-phase source. In addition, this electronic assembly can also have at least one sensor input, to connect a position sensor arranged in the area of the motor shaft or the crankshaft to measure the current angular position. The torque requirement to be readjusted depending on the speed is preferably stored in the logic of the control unit implemented in the frequency converter.
