Title:
OIL FILM STATE DETECTION METHOD, STATE DETECTION DEVICE, AND PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/071164
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a state detection method for detecting a state of an oil film formed by a lubricant within a device configured such that the lubricant lubricates a plurality of sections, the method comprising: a measurement step for measuring an impedance and a phase angle of an electric circuit constituted by the plurality of sections by applying an alternating voltage to the electric circuit while varying the frequency; and a derivation step for deriving a thickness of the oil film formed by the lubricant and a parameter indicating an electric characteristic at said oil film thickness on the basis of a dielectric constant of the lubricant at a high-frequency limit and the impedance and the phase angle which have been measured.
