ところで、AEセンサは使用により感度が劣化するため
、これを定期的に校正する必要があり、AEセンサを用
いた診断装置では、従来、AEセンサを設備から回収し
て校正している。Incidentally, since the sensitivity of the AE sensor deteriorates with use, it is necessary to periodically calibrate it. Conventionally, in a diagnostic apparatus using an AE sensor, the AE sensor is collected from the equipment and calibrated.
このため、AEセンサの校正時には診断を長く中断しな
ければならず、たとえば発電機用軸受の診断などのよう
に診断を中断できないものについては問題がある。For this reason, when calibrating the AE sensor, the diagnosis must be interrupted for a long time, which poses a problem in cases where diagnosis cannot be interrupted, such as diagnosis of generator bearings.
この発明は、上記の問題を解決し、校正時にも診断を長
く中断する必要のない診断装置を提供することにある。The present invention solves the above problems and provides a diagnostic device that does not require long interruptions in diagnosis even during calibration.

することができる。検出用圧電素子と校正用圧電素子は
同じ条件で使用されるため、大体同じように劣化する。During operational calibration, while the equipment is in operation, the piezoelectric element for calibration oscillates a simulated AE wave of a predetermined amplitude with the AE sensor attached to the equipment, and the piezoelectric element for detection detects the simulated AE wave. Verify the deterioration of the sensitivity of the piezoelectric element. If the sensitivity of the detection piezoelectric element is degraded, the amplitude of the detected simulated AE wave will become smaller. Therefore, deterioration in sensitivity can be determined based on the amplitude of the simulated AE wave detected by the detection piezoelectric element. Since the detection piezoelectric element and the calibration piezoelectric element are used under the same conditions, they deteriorate in roughly the same way.
これらが劣化すると、校正用圧電素子に同じ振幅の電気
信号を印加してもこれから発生する模擬AE波の振幅は
劣化の分だけ小さくなり、さらにこの模擬AE波を検出
した検出用圧電素子の出力の振幅も劣化の分だけ小さく
なる。このため、検出用圧電素子の劣化の度合をほぼ2
倍の感度でとらえることができる。When these deteriorate, even if an electrical signal of the same amplitude is applied to the calibration piezoelectric element, the amplitude of the simulated AE wave that will be generated will become smaller by the amount of deterioration, and the output of the detection piezoelectric element that detected this simulated AE wave will be reduced by the amount of deterioration. The amplitude also decreases by the amount of deterioration. Therefore, the degree of deterioration of the detection piezoelectric element can be reduced to approximately 2
It can be captured with twice the sensitivity.

、精度が良い。If the sensitivity of the detection piezoelectric element (12) deteriorates, the amplitude of the detected simulated AE wave will become smaller. Therefore, deterioration in sensitivity can be determined based on the amplitude of the simulated AE wave detected by the detection piezoelectric element (12). The detection piezoelectric element (12) and the calibration piezoelectric element (13) are housed in the same case (11) and used under the same conditions, so if the detection piezoelectric element (12) has deteriorated, the calibration piezoelectric element (12) The piezoelectric element (13) has also deteriorated in roughly the same way. For this reason, even if a voltage signal of the same amplitude is applied from the oscillator (17) to the piezoelectric element for calibration (13), the amplitude of the simulated AE wave that will be generated will be smaller by the amount of deterioration, and furthermore, this simulated AE wave will be detected. The amplitude of the output of the detection piezoelectric element (12) also decreases by the amount of deterioration. Therefore, two piezoelectric elements (12
) (The degree of deterioration of the detection piezoelectric element (12) can be detected with a sensitivity that is approximately twice as high as the degree of deterioration of m, and the accuracy is good.
