Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of ultrasonic oil film thickness measurement and relates to a minimum oil film thickness calibration method considering different friction pair shape structures. Background Art

[0002] Lubrication is the lifeline of mechanical parts and a key link in the reliable operation of equipment. The most intuitive representation of lubrication status is the thickness of the lubricating film. The existing in-situ measurement method of lubricating film thickness is mainly based on ultrasonic testing method. The existing ultrasonic testing methods are mainly divided into water immersion ultrasonic testing method, patch testing method and straight probe testing method. The advantage of the water immersion ultrasonic testing method is that it is highly sensitive to oil film thickness below 1μm. Harbin Institute of Technology used the water immersion ultrasonic method to measure the minimum oil film thickness of rolling bearings. Although this method has high signal intensity at the focal spot position and can measure thinner oil films, the probe needs to be immersed in a water tank during the test. This has high requirements for the test position and the test environment, and is extremely difficult to apply in actual engineering. Compared with the water immersion ultrasonic method, the patch testing method does not require an additional water tank. Xi'an Jiaotong University used the patch method to attach a piezoelectric piece with a width of 0.6mm to the outer ring of the bearing to complete the oil film thickness measurement of the cylindrical roller bearing. Although this method avoids the need to set up an additional water tank, the method of patching the outer ring of the bearing puts higher requirements on the bearing disassembly and assembly process, and is limited by the shape of the piezoelectric patch. At present, this method can only be applied to cylindrical roller bearings and cannot be applied to ball bearings; the straight probe test method does not require changes to the process for bearing disassembly and assembly compared to the patch method. The University of Sheffield used a straight probe to test the oil film thickness using the acoustic reflection method. This method only requires a hole in the bearing seat to accommodate the straight probe to complete the test, but is limited by the diameter size of the straight probe chip. This method can only be used for oil film thickness testing between parallel structures.

[0003] Based on the above problems, the body wave probe test method has good engineering prospects but is greatly affected by the shape and structure of the friction pair. The existing methods and theories assume that the objects to be measured are the oil film thickness between parallel plates. In order to solve this problem and make the straight probe test method adapt to the minimum oil film thickness test requirements between different types of friction pairs, a minimum oil film thickness calibration method that takes into account the different shapes and structures of friction pairs is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a minimum oil film thickness calibration method that considers different friction pair shapes and structures. Its purpose is to address the problem that the echo received during the test of a bulk wave direct probe is significantly affected by the structure of the object being measured due to the influence of the wafer diameter, resulting in a non-linear relationship between oil film thickness and ultrasonic reflection coefficient. By utilizing an ultrasonic oil film thickness calibration platform suitable for friction pairs with different structural shapes, a minimum oil film thickness calibration method that considers different friction pair shapes and structures is provided. The calibration platform precisely controls the minimum oil film thickness between friction pairs at the submicron level, collects ultrasonic reflection signals at different oil film thicknesses, and finally performs nonlinear fitting to determine the relationship between minimum oil film thickness and ultrasonic reflection coefficient.

By controlling the knob of the manual displacement platform 8, the platform can be moved along the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis. The pressure sensor 7 is installed on the manual displacement platform 8, and the nano-displacement platform 6 is installed on the pressure sensor 7.

Record the peak value vpp0 of the ultrasonic echo displayed on the oscilloscope at this time;

[0010] S3. Initially ensure that the upper test plate 2 and the lower test plate 4 are aligned by controlling the manual displacement platform 8 so that the center eccentricity of the bosses of the upper test plate 2 and the lower test plate 4 does not exceed -2 mm to +2 mm. Then, control the manual displacement platform 8 to gradually raise the lower test plate 4 closer to the upper test plate 2 until the peak value vpp1 of the ultrasonic probe 9 echo displayed on the oscilloscope decreases by 15% to 25% compared to the peak value vpp0 of the ultrasonic echo.

[0011] S4. Control the manual displacement platform 8 to make the test lower plate 4 reciprocate relative to the test upper plate 2 along the x-axis and y-axis in units of the minimum scale value of the manual displacement platform 8.

Record the x-axis and y-axis coordinates of the manual displacement platform 8 and the echo signal of the ultrasonic probe 9 after each movement. Find the x-axis and y-axis coordinates at which the peak-to-peak value of the echo signal of the ultrasonic probe 9 is minimized. Adjust the manual displacement platform 8 to be at the above coordinates and lock the x-axis and y-axis of the manual displacement platform 8 to prevent subsequent operations from changing the relative position of the test upper plate 2 and the test lower plate 4 so that the ultrasonic probe 9 cannot face the minimum oil film thickness of the friction pair.

[0012] S5. Control the manual displacement platform 8 to move the lower test plate 4 closer to the upper test plate 2 until the pressure sensor 7 reads 2N. At this point, the lower test plate 4 is in close contact with the upper test plate 2, and the load is 2N.

[0016] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0017] The present invention takes into account the influence of the friction pair shape structure on the straight probe echo, abandons the traditional linear calibration method, and selects a nonlinear calibration method. It can adapt to the minimum oil film thickness calibration of different friction pair structures and significantly improves the test accuracy.
