The rotation frequency of the gear is detected by rotation frequency detection means. Then, the frequency analyzing means analyzes the frequency of the AE signal from the AE sensor and calculates a power value for the frequency. The comparing means compares the power value obtained by the frequency analyzing means with a threshold value. The band detecting means calculates a frequency band in which the power value exceeds a threshold based on the output of the comparing means. The frequency band in which the power value exceeds the threshold value is an area extending on both sides of the rotation frequency detected by the rotation frequency detection means. The flaw ratio calculation means calculates the flaw ratio based on the rotational frequency and the frequency band previously obtained. Thus, the ratio of the length of the flaw to the pitch circle in the rotation direction of the gear is calculated.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. As shown in FIG. 1, AE from a gear is detected by an AE sensor 1, an AE signal output from the AE sensor is amplified by a preamplifier 2, and high frequency noise and the like are removed by a filter 3. The signal output from the filter 3 is amplified by the main amplifier 4. The signal output from the main amplifier 4 is input to the trigger circuit 5, and the trigger circuit 5 compares the AE signal output from the main amplifier 4 with a predetermined reference value. When the reference value is exceeded, a trigger signal is output to the FFT circuit (fast Fourier transform circuit) 6. Upon receiving the trigger signal from the trigger circuit 5, the FFT circuit 6 performs a fast Fourier transform on the AE signal output from the main amplifier 4 for a certain period, and outputs it to the CPU 8. The CPU 8 receives a rotation signal from a gear rotation detection circuit 7. The CPU 8 performs the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2 based on the rotation signal and the digital signal of the power value for the frequency analyzed frequency from the FFT circuit 6. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to FIG. In the CPU 8, the threshold value L for abnormality determination and the pitch circle diameter d of the gear are preset in advance (S1, S2). A signal indicating the number of rotations of the gear is sent to the CPU 8 by the rotation detection circuit 7.
And the frequency-analyzed data is fetched from the FFT circuit 6 (S3), and the rotational frequency fr of the gear is calculated (S4). Assuming that the rotation period of the gear is T, the rotation frequency is expressed as fr = 1 / T (see FIG. 4). Then, the protruding power value Pfr in the band near the rotation frequency is calculated (S
Five). Next, the protruding power value Pfr is compared with the threshold value L (S6). When the protruding power value Pfr is smaller than the threshold value L, normal display is performed (S7). On the other hand, if the protruding power value Pfr becomes larger than the threshold value L, a frequency band Δf where the protruding power value Pfr at the position of the rotation frequency fr exceeds the threshold value L is calculated (S8). Then
Based on the frequency band Δf and the rotation frequency fr, the circumferential length ratio k of the circumferential direction is calculated by the formula shown in the lower part of FIG. 4 (S9). FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the basis of the formula for calculating the ratio k of the flaw length based on the frequency band Δf and the rotation frequency fr. 4th
In the figure, T is the period of one rotation of the gear, and k is a number indicating the ratio of damage to the period T. Now, the period from A1 to A2 indicates the cycle T of one rotation, and from B1
The period T of one rotation is also shown during B2. Assume that there is damage between A1 and B1 and there is damage between A2 and B2. Then, the average period for detecting abnormalities is from A1 to A2
In the period between. The shortest period for detecting an abnormality is a case where the AE sensor receives a signal indicating an abnormality at the time point B1, and then receives a signal indicating an abnormality at the time point A2. The longest period for detecting an abnormality is a case where a signal indicating an abnormality is received at a time point A1 and then a signal indicating an abnormality is received at a time point B2. The frequency in each case is shown by the lower equation in FIG. 4. The frequency having the period T between A1 and A2 is fr, and the frequency having the period T (1-k) between B1 and A2 is fr. / (1-k), period T (1 + k) between A1 and B2
Is fr / (1 + k). Therefore, the width between the minimum frequency fr / (1 + k) and the maximum frequency fr / (1-k), that is, the frequency band Δf is given by Δf = fr / (1−k).
k) −fr / (1 + k) = fr · 2k / (1−k 2 ). Therefore, k is given by the lower equation in FIG. Therefore, if the diameter of the pitch circle of the gear is d, the flaw length in the rotational direction of the gear is calculated by calculating the circumferential length k of the circumferential length k × circumference πd ( S1
0). Next, a signal representing the flaw length k × πd is output to the display circuit 9 to display the flaw length (S11). If the teeth are oblique as in the case of a helical gear, and the torsion angle of the teeth is θ, dividing the flaw length obtained in step S10 by sinθ gives the actual flaw. The length is calculated. As described above, in this embodiment, in addition to judging the presence or absence of an abnormality based on the magnitude of the protruding power value Pfr, the length of the flaw in the rotational direction can be calculated. it can. In the above embodiment, when calculating the frequency band Δf, that is, the bandwidth Δf at the protruding frequency, one threshold L for judging the presence or absence of an abnormality is set to the protruding power value Pf
Calculated from the output of the comparing means when r exceeds, a threshold for comparing the magnitude of the protruding power value Pfr for judging the presence or absence of abnormality and a bandwidth Δf of the protruding power value Pfr are calculated. Apart from the threshold for calculation, the level of the threshold for judging the presence or absence of abnormality may be set high, and the threshold level for detecting the bandwidth of the protruding power value may be set low.

As is clear from the above, according to the present invention, the frequency of the AE signal is analyzed by the frequency analysis unit, the power value obtained by the frequency analysis unit is compared with the threshold value by the comparison unit, and the output of the comparison unit is A frequency band in which the power value exceeds the threshold value is calculated based on the frequency band, and the flaw length ratio is calculated by the flaw ratio calculation unit based on the frequency band and the rotation frequency obtained by the rotation frequency detection unit. Therefore, the ratio of the flaw length in the rotation direction of the gear can be obtained,
