[0031] Example 1
[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0033] A ship steering gear monitoring system, characterized by comprising a controller, a steering gear, a first hydraulic pump 2, a second hydraulic pump 5, a radiator, a hydraulic oil level sensor, a hydraulic oil temperature sensor, an outlet pressure sensor of an oil suction filter 1, a steering gear hydraulic oil port pressure sensor, a GSM communication module, and a mobile communication device; the hydraulic oil level sensor, the hydraulic oil temperature sensor, the outlet pressure sensor of the oil suction filter 1, and the steering gear hydraulic oil port pressure sensor are respectively connected to the controller; and further comprising:
[0034] The first solenoid valve 3 is used to control the opening or closing of the first hydraulic pump 2 . The first solenoid valve 3 is connected to the first hydraulic pump 2 , and the controller controls the opening and closing of the first solenoid valve 3 .
[0035] The second solenoid valve 4 is used to control the opening or closing of the second hydraulic pump 5. The second solenoid valve 4 is connected to the second hydraulic pump 5, and the controller controls the opening and closing of the second solenoid valve 4; when the liquid level is lower than 60 percent, the first solenoid valve 3 is energized and the first hydraulic pump 2 is started; when the liquid level is lower than 50 percent, the first solenoid valve 3 loses power, the second solenoid valve 4 is energized, the second hydraulic pump 5 is started, and the first hydraulic pump 2 stops running.
[0036] A first relay is used to control the operation of a first alarm. The first relay is connected to the first alarm. When the pressure data transmitted to the controller by the steering gear hydraulic oil port pressure sensor reaches the pressure setting value, the controller turns on the first relay, causing the first alarm to sound. The first alarm can be a buzzer or indicator light. For example, the first alarm will sound when the oil replenishment port pressure is less than 0.17 MPa or when the pump outlet pressure reaches the pressure setting value due to a blockage at the pump outlet.
[0037] a second relay for controlling the operation of the second alarm, the second relay being connected to the second alarm, and when the temperature data transmitted by the hydraulic oil temperature sensor to the controller reaches a temperature setting value, the controller turns on the second relay and the second alarm sounds;
[0038] A third relay is used to control the operation of the radiator. The third relay is connected to the radiator. When the temperature data transmitted to the controller by the hydraulic oil temperature sensor reaches the temperature setting value, the controller turns on the third relay and the radiator works; when the hydraulic oil temperature is greater than 45 degrees Celsius, the radiator works.
[0039] The fourth relay is used to control the operation of the fourth alarm. The fourth relay is connected to the fourth alarm. When the liquid level data transmitted to the controller by the hydraulic oil level sensor reaches the liquid level setting value, the controller turns on the fourth relay and the fourth alarm sounds an alarm; when the liquid level is lower than 50 percent, the fourth alarm sounds an alarm.
[0040] A fifth relay is used to control the operation of the fifth alarm. The fifth relay is connected to the fifth alarm. When the pressure data transmitted to the controller by the pressure sensor at the outlet of the oil suction filter 1 reaches the set pressure value, the controller activates the first relay, causing the fifth alarm to sound. When the outlet pressure of the oil suction filter 1 reaches the set pressure value, indicating that the oil suction filter 1 is clogged, the fifth alarm will sound. The pressure sensor outputs a 4-20mA signal.
[0041] The controller is connected to the GSM communication module, and the GSM communication module is connected to the mobile communication device. The controller adopts the MCM24 controller.
[0042] The adoption of this technical solution can effectively improve the intelligence level of steering gear management, thereby effectively reducing the incidence of steering gear safety problems, enabling managers to understand the operating status of the steering gear in a timely manner, and reducing costs.
[0043] Example 2
[0044] In this embodiment, the ship steering gear monitoring system further comprises a camera for collecting image information of the steering gear; the camera is connected to the controller; and the image information of the steering gear is viewed through the display area on the mobile communication device.
[0045] Example 3
[0046] In this embodiment, the ship steering gear monitoring system further includes a power supply, which is a rechargeable lithium battery; the power supply is used to supply power to the controller and the GSM communication module respectively.
[0047] In this embodiment, the ship steering gear monitoring system further includes a touch screen connected to a controller. The controller, via a pre-set program, displays the hydraulic oil level, hydraulic oil temperature, outlet pressure of the oil suction filter 1, and steering gear hydraulic oil port pressure on the display screen. The touch screen is a 7-inch touch screen, model 6071IK.
[0048] Example 4
[0049] In this embodiment, the touch screen is provided with a servo fault information input module, and the inspection personnel input the servo fault condition through the servo fault information input module, and the controller sends the fault information to the APP on the manager's smartphone through the GSM communication module.
[0050] The touch screen is provided with a face recognition device, which is electrically connected to the controller. After the face recognition is passed, the inspection personnel log in to the distribution box fault information input module.
[0051] Example 5
[0052] In this embodiment, the ship steering gear monitoring system also includes a running time calculation module, which includes a timer, a counter, and a memory; the timer is used to interrupt at fixed time intervals when the equipment is running, generate an interrupt signal and send the interrupt signal to the counter; the counter is used to receive the interrupt signal sent by the timer, accumulate the number of interruptions, and when the accumulated number of interruptions is equal to the set value of the number of interruptions, the running time counter sends the number of interruptions to the controller, clears the accumulated number of interruptions, and re-accumulates the number of interruptions; the controller is used to calculate the accumulated time according to the fixed time interval and the number of interruptions received, read the running time stored in the memory, and update the running time stored in the memory according to the accumulated time and the stored running time; the memory is used to store the running time.
[0053] The mobile communication device is provided with a button for setting a running time alarm setting value. When the controller detects that the running time reaches the running time setting value, an alarm message is sent to the mobile communication device.
[0054] When the running time reaches 500 hours, the integrated filter on the pump needs to be replaced; when the running time reaches 2000 hours, the hydraulic oil and oil suction filter 1 need to be replaced.
[0055] This technical solution enables statistics on equipment operating time, making it easier for users to understand the actual operating time of the display device, understand the service life and failure rate of each key component of the device, and evaluate the performance of the device so that certain components of the device can be maintained or replaced when their life is about to expire.
[0056] The above-described embodiments of the present invention do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
