Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil detection technology, and in particular to an immersion-type mobile machinery gear oil tank oil level detection system and oil tank. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of intelligent machinery, mobile machinery is replacing manual labor in more and more fields. During operation, mobile machinery experiences changes in the posture of its actuators and / or vibrations in the gear tank due to factors such as uneven working surfaces and external forces. This is especially true for mobile machinery, such as coal mining machines, operating underground in coal mines where the working face is rugged and subjected to impacts from coal and gangue. Operating under these high-intensity and harsh conditions for extended periods, accurate and real-time measurement of the gear tank's fluid volume is crucial for the normal operation of mobile machinery.

[0003] Conventional gear oil tank fluid level testing can only measure the height change of the corresponding test point at a fixed location, which cannot meet the flexible measurement needs under limited working space conditions. At the same time, when the gear oil tank posture changes and / or the gear oil tank vibration causes the oil surface to tilt and / or the liquid level height to fluctuate, the fixed position liquid level detection method cannot identify and filter the liquid level changes and fluctuations caused by tilting and / or vibration, thus resulting in misjudgment of liquid level.

[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need in this field for a new solution for detecting the oil volume of gear tanks to address the problems of the accuracy of liquid level detection and the unmeasurable liquid volume caused by changes in posture, vibration, and impact during the operation of mobile machinery. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an immersion-type mobile mechanical gear oil tank oil level detection system to solve, or at least partially solve, the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide an immersion-type mobile machinery gear oil tank oil level detection system. The detection system includes: an oil tank vibration detection module, an oil tank tilt angle detection module, a liquid level detection module, and a data processing module for calculating the actual oil volume. The data processing module includes an oil level detection parameter database, a memory storing a calculation program, and a processor. The parameter database stores historical detection data, and the detection data includes the oil tank vibration acceleration collected by the oil tank vibration detection module. The tank tilt angle is collected by the tank tilt angle detection module. And the distance from the center of the module collected by the liquid level detection module. and liquid level height ;

[0007] When the processor executes the computer program, it performs the following steps:

[0008] Step S1: Read the tank tilt angle parameter at time i. Module distance from center and liquid level height ;

[0009] Step S2: According to the formula: Calculate the oil measurement volume of the gear oil tank at time i. ,in, The cross-sectional area of ​​the gear oil tank is preset;

[0010] Step S3: Read the oil tank vibration acceleration of the walking machine at time i. The vibration acceleration of the oil tank at time i. Compared with the preset acceleration threshold If a comparison is made, Less than If the result is positive, proceed to step S4; otherwise, proceed to step S5.

[0011] Step S4, the oil measurement volume Let be the actual volume of oil at time i. Return to step S1;

[0012] Step S5: Obtain all tank vibration accelerations for the M consecutive times preceding time i-1 from the parameter database, and calculate the dominant frequency period of the gear tank vibration based on the all tank vibration accelerations for the M consecutive times preceding time i-1. ;

[0013] Step S6: Read the oil measurement volume data sequence from time i to time j. , … … According to the formula: =( + +… +… ) / ( ),in ,m< ;

[0014] The actual volume of the oil at time j is calculated. .

[0015] Furthermore, in step S5, the vibration acceleration of the oil tank is calculated based on all the vibration accelerations of the oil tank at consecutive times M before time i-1. According to the formula: =2π / , =( +…+ The vibration dominant frequency period of the gear oil tank is calculated using the formula ) / M. .

[0016] Furthermore, the oil tank vibration detection module is also equipped with a low-pass filter, and in step S6, the oil volume measurement data sequence from time i to time j is read. , … … During the process, unnecessary high-frequency vibrations are filtered out using a low-pass filter.

[0017] Furthermore, the liquid level detection module is equipped with a sensor body, an immersion sensor probe, and a sensor mounting structure. One end of the immersion sensor probe is immersed in the oil, and the other end is connected to the liquid level detection circuit to interact with the data processing module via electrical signals. The sensor body is fastened to any position on the oil tank cover by the sensor mounting structure.

[0018] Furthermore, the immersion sensor probe includes a probe housing and a capacitor plate, which are configured as two concentric conduits extending in the direction of oil immersion.

[0019] Furthermore, the liquid level detection circuit includes a square wave signal generator, a high-pass filter, a rectifier circuit, a low-pass filter, and a level conversion module. One end of the square wave signal generator is connected to the data processing module via an I / O port, and the other end is connected to the immersion sensor probe. The square wave signal generator outputs a square wave signal that flows through the capacitor plate of the immersion sensor probe. The capacitor plate changes the amplitude of the square wave signal as the oil level changes. Due to RC delay, the square wave signal becomes a triangular wave signal. The triangular wave signal flows through the high-pass filter and the rectifier circuit to be converted into a positive voltage signal. The positive voltage signal is filtered by the low-pass filter and input to the level conversion module. After being processed by the level conversion module, it is received by the AD detection port of the data processing module.

[0020] Furthermore, the sensor mounting structure is threaded onto any position on the fuel tank cover, and the distance from the mounting position of the sensor mounting structure to the central axis of the fuel tank is recorded as the module-to-center distance. .

[0021] Furthermore, the oil tank vibration detection module is configured as a miniature MEMS vibration sensor, and the oil tank tilt angle detection module is configured as a miniature MEMS tilt angle sensor.

[0022] Furthermore, the data processing module is configured as an MCU processor, which is connected to the oil tank vibration detection module and the oil tank tilt angle detection module via an SPI interface, and obtains the liquid level height by sampling through an AD detection port.

[0023] Furthermore, the preset acceleration threshold =2g, fuel tank tilt angle <±90°.

[0024] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide an oil tank having the immersion-type walking mechanical gear oil tank oil level detection system described in any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0025] Through the above technical solution, the oil level detection system of the present invention determines the liquid level tilt angle of the gear oil tank under different postures according to the formula. Normalized to the horizontal tilt angle, the oil measurement volume of the gear oil tank at time i is calculated. This solves the problem of misjudgment of liquid level detection caused by changes in liquid level tilt angle due to changes in position. Furthermore, when the vibration acceleration at time i is less than the acceleration threshold, the oil measurement volume... Record the actual volume of oil at that moment. When the vibration acceleration at that moment exceeds the acceleration threshold, the dominant vibration frequency period of the gear oil tank is calculated based on the vibration acceleration of all oil tanks for M consecutive moments prior to the (i-1)th moment, and n dominant vibration frequency periods are taken. The sampling period is denoted as j = i + 1. Within the sampling period, the average oil measurement volume at consecutive times is taken, denoted as j = i + 1. Actual oil volume at time Through the above-described method, the oil level detection system of the present invention identifies and filters the influence of impact vibration on the liquid level measurement. Due to the lag in the response of liquid level fluctuations, the vibration parameters obtained from the gear tank are used as feedback parameters to correct the detected changes in liquid level in real time, thereby obtaining a more stable and accurate liquid level and oil volume. Furthermore, the liquid level detection module in the technical solution of the present invention can be set at any position on the tank cover, without being limited by the working space, thus meeting the requirements of more complex operating conditions.

[0026] In summary, this invention provides a multi-sensor fusion immersion-type gear tank oil level detection system for mobile machinery, which solves the problems of the accuracy of liquid level detection and the unmeasurable liquid volume caused by factors such as position changes and vibration impacts during the operation of mobile machinery. It improves the accuracy and effectiveness of liquid level detection and is applicable to the detection of gear tank oil levels in mobile machinery under more complex working conditions.

[0037] exist Figure 1 The detection system described herein takes a gear oil tank 1 with an oil tank vibration detection module 3, an oil tank tilt angle detection module 4, and a liquid level detection module 2 as an example. In specific embodiments, in addition to the features shown in the figures, the detection system may also include other functional parts not shown in the figures, including but not limited to a control panel, a display panel, and a power supply device, which will not be described in detail here.

[0038] according to Figure 2 The detection system in the middle, Figure 2 middle The distance from the installation position of the liquid level detection module 2 to the central axis of the gear oil tank 1. Figure 2 middle This refers to the oil level in gear oil tank 1. Figure 2 middle The angle of inclination of gear oil tank 1 relative to the horizontal plane. During the oil level detection process, the distance from the center of the liquid level detection module 2 is measured. and liquid level height The fuel tank tilt angle detection module 4 collects the fuel tank tilt angle.

Additionally, the data processing module 5 can be configured as an MCU processor. The MCU processor connects to the tank vibration detection module 3 and the tank tilt angle detection module 4 via an SPI interface. The SPI interface of the MCU processor enables synchronous serial data transmission between the CPU and peripheral low-speed devices, resulting in high-speed data transfer. The MCU processor obtains the liquid level height by sampling through the AD detection port.

[0049] like Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, in this embodiment, the liquid level detection circuit includes a square wave signal generator, a high-pass filter, a rectifier circuit, a low-pass filter, and a level conversion module. One end of the square wave signal generator is connected to the data processing module 5 via an I / O port, and the other end is connected to the immersion sensor probe 21. The data processing module 5 outputs a signal through the I / O port. The signal is converted into a square wave signal by the square wave signal generator. The square wave signal flows through the capacitor plate 211 of the immersion sensor probe 21. When the oil level in the tank changes, the capacitor plate 211 of the probe changes the amplitude of the square wave signal accordingly. Due to RC delay, the square wave signal becomes a triangular wave signal and is transmitted back to the high-pass filter and rectifier circuit of the liquid level detection circuit. The triangular wave signal is converted into a positive voltage signal by the high-pass filter and rectifier circuit. The positive voltage signal is filtered by the low-pass filter and input to the level conversion module.

[0052] like Figure 6 As shown, when a processor executes a computer program, it performs the following steps:

[0053] Step S1: Read the tank tilt angle parameter at time i. Module distance from center and liquid level height ;

[0054] Understandably, the module's distance from the center... The sensor mounting structure of the liquid level detection module 2 can be preset and installed in the screw hole of the oil tank cover via threads. On-site workers can measure the distance of the module from the center. and the module's distance from the center Stored in a parameter database, which the processor can directly retrieve. Module distance from center. It can also be monitored through sensors.

[0055] Fuel tank tilt angle detection module 4 collects the fuel tank tilt angle parameters at time i. The liquid level detection module 2 collects the distance from the center of the module at time i. and liquid level height The processor reads the tank tilt angle parameters at time i from the tank tilt angle detection module 4.

For example, at time i, the oil tank vibration detection module 3 collects the vibration acceleration of the oil tank. The acceleration of the oil tank vibration at time i. Compared with the preset acceleration threshold If a comparison is made, Less than If the vibration of gear tank 1 at time i is small and does not affect the calculation of the oil volume, then step S4 is executed.

Within the sampling period, the average oil measurement volume at consecutive times is taken, denoted as j = i + 1. Actual oil volume at time .

[0066] Further, in step S6, the oil measurement volume data sequence from time i to time j is read { , … … During the process, unnecessary high-frequency vibrations are filtered out by a low-pass filter, and individual high-frequency vibrations are removed, which improves accuracy.

The square wave signal generator outputs a square wave signal that flows through the capacitor plate (211) of the immersion sensor probe (21). The capacitor plate (211) changes the amplitude of the square wave signal as the liquid level changes. The square wave signal becomes a triangular wave signal due to RC delay. The triangular wave signal flows through the high-pass filter and the rectifier circuit to be converted into a positive voltage signal. The positive voltage signal is filtered by the low-pass filter and input to the level conversion module. After being processed by the level conversion module, it is received by the AD detection port of the data processing module (5).
