FAILURE DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS, TRAINING APPARATUS, TRAINING METHOD, AND FAILURE DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18042506 Titled 'FAILURE DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS, TRAINING APPARATUS, TRAINING METHOD, AND FAILURE DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a failure diagnosis apparatus that is used to detect and notify users of any failures in a motor. The apparatus includes a controller, a wear estimator, and a failure notification unit. The controller is responsible for controlling the motor's drive, while the wear estimator estimates the amount of wear on the motor's bearing based on the current flowing through it. The failure notification unit then diagnoses any failures in the motor based on the estimated wear and notifies the user. During the estimation process, the controller ensures that the motor is driven in a constant state.
Original Abstract Submitted
A failure diagnosis apparatus includes a controller to control drive of a motor, a wear estimator to estimate an amount of wear of a bearing of the motor based on a current that flows in the motor, and a failure notification unit to diagnose a failure of the motor based on the amount of wear of the bearing of the motor estimated by the wear estimator and to notify a user. When the wear estimator estimates the amount of wear of the bearing of the motor, the controller controls drive of the motor such that the motor is driven in a constant state.
