Process and apparatus for determining damage to cyclically moving machine components
First Claim
1. A process for separating periodic time signal portions from a signal, said process comprising the steps of:
- providing a rotating ring storage having a plurality of cyclically arranged storage elements being connected in succession to an input device, said ring storage having a controllable rotational frequency;
supplying an input signal to said ring storage;
obtaining at least one desired signal portion as an output signal from said at least one rotating ring storage synchronizing a rotation frequency of said ring storage with a period duration of said desired signal portion.

Abstract
A process and apparatus for determining the damage on at least one cyclically moving machine component, whereby a signal caused by the motion of the component is picked up by a sensor. At least one portion of the signal with an adjustable period is separated, and the remaining or separated part of the signal is subjected to damage analysis. In addition, a process and apparatus for separating periodic signal portions from a signal is provided, whereby the signal is supplied as an input signal to a rotating ring storage which is formed by cyclically arranged storage elements which are supplied in succession with the input signal currently at the input of the ring storage. A rotation frequency is synchronized with the period duration of the desired signal portions, and the desired signal portions are obtained as the output signal of the ring storage.

31. A process for determining damage on at least one cyclically moving machine component comprising the steps of:
-
providing a sensor;
sensing a signal caused by a movement of said at least one cyclically moving machine component using said sensor;
separating from said signal at least one signal portion with an adjustable period; and
analyzing a remaining portion of said signal to determine if damage has occurred to said at least one cyclically moving machine component. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63)

70. A process for separating signal portions with a certain period from a signal, the process comprising the steps of:
-
dividing the signal into sections with a certain duration which corresponds approximately to a desired period duration;
storing the signal sections;
determining at least one of a phase shift and a direction of the phase shift of the signal sections;
correcting the signal sections with respect to the phase shift;
adding the signal sections which are phase-corrected to obtain a sum of the signal sections with a period duration to be determined. - View Dependent Claims (71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80)
