Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of temperature sensors, in particular to an integrated explosion-proof temperature sensor mounting structure and method for a gear box. BACKGROUND

[0002] The variable speed gear box has become an indispensable device in the industrial production process because of its high transmission efficiency, low noise, large torque and other characteristics. In order to make the gear box safe and stable, the bearing temperature, shaft vibration and other data of the gear box are generally monitored in real time. When monitoring the bearing temperature of the gear box, especially in some places with high explosion-proof grade requirements, the bearing temperature measurement generally selects an integrated explosion-proof temperature sensor. The integrated explosion-proof temperature sensor has good explosion-proof characteristics, high precision, long service life and other characteristics.

[0003] However, due to the structure, the explosion-proof junction box is generally located at the top of the sensor sleeve rod, and in order to facilitate the inlet and outlet of the wire, the junction box is large, and when it is installed on the gear box bearing temperature sensor, it is easy to interfere with the gear box wall. In order to solve this problem, on the one hand, the distance between the bearing and the gear box wall can be increased to ensure that the junction box has enough space to install the wire, but this method will make the gear box size larger or the bearing span increase, which increases the cost of the gear box and the insecurity of the rotor operation. Therefore, at present, the problem of interference is generally solved by lengthening the rod length of the temperature sensor to make the sensor junction box higher than the gear box wall. After the sensor sleeve rod is lengthened, the stiffness of the entire sensor decreases, and due to the vibration of the gear box during operation, the sensor may shake or the sensor rod may bend, affecting the measurement accuracy of the sensor or even damaging it.
