[0040] The lubrication system 200 includes an oil inlet pipe 210 and an oil outlet pipe 220. The oil inlet pipe 210 is used to supply lubricating oil to the end gear 110, and the oil outlet pipe 220 is used to collect the lubricating oil passing through the end gear 110. Temperature detection units 211 are respectively provided on the oil inlet pipe 210 and the oil outlet pipe 220 for detecting the oil inlet temperature and the oil outlet temperature.

[0041] The aforementioned laser system includes a fiber optic transmitting and receiving probe 310 and a grating array sensor 320. The fiber optic transmitting and receiving probe 310 is arranged in the first accommodating groove 123. The fiber optic transmitting and receiving probe 310 is aligned with the meshing trajectory.

[0042] Furthermore, the meshing system 100 also includes a first drive unit and a second drive unit, which respectively drive the spur gear 120 and the end gear 110 to rotate, thereby varying the strain of the first tooth 121 by adjusting the meshing force between the spur gear 120 and the end gear 110. Specifically, the first drive unit includes a first connecting shaft 124 and a first loading module. The first connecting shaft 124 is fixedly connected to the spur gear 120.

Preferably, the cable of the optical fiber transmitting and receiving probe 310 is secured within the second receiving groove 125 to prevent the cable from shaking and causing movement of the optical fiber transmitting and receiving probe 310.

[0043] An axial groove 126 and a radial groove 127 are also provided on the first connecting shaft 124, wherein the axial groove 126 is provided along the axial direction of the first connecting shaft 124, and the radial groove 127 is provided along the radial direction of the first connecting shaft 124, the radial groove 127 is connected to the axial groove 126, and the axial groove 126 and the radial groove 127 are connected, and the axial groove 126 and the radial groove 127 are used to accommodate the cables of the optical fiber transmitting and receiving probe 310 and the grating array sensor 320.

[0044] The aforementioned second driving unit includes a second connecting shaft 111 and a second loading module. The second connecting shaft 111 is fixed on the end gear 110. The second loading module drives the end gear 110 to rotate by driving the second connecting shaft 111 to rotate.

[0045] In the present application, both the first loading module and the second loading module are servo motors, and the first loading module and the second loading module drive the spur gear 120 and the end gear 110 to rotate in opposite directions.

[0046] Lubrication system 200 also includes a lubrication box that houses end gear 110 and spur gear 120. End gear 110 and spur gear 120 mesh and rotate within the lubrication box. The aforementioned oil inlet pipe 210 is connected to the top of the lubrication box, and the oil inlet pipe 210 is connected to the bottom of the lubrication box. Lubrication system 200 also includes an oil station 230, which is connected to the oil inlet pipe 210 and the oil outlet pipe 220. The oil station 230, the oil inlet pipe 210, the oil outlet pipe 220, and the lubrication box form an oil circuit.

[0047] A hydraulic pump 240, a pressure regulating valve 250 and a first metering pump 260 are also provided on the oil inlet pipe 210. The hydraulic pump 240 is used to connect to the oil station 230 and adjust the pressure of the pumped oil. The pressure regulating valve 250 is arranged downstream of the hydraulic pump 240, and the first metering pump 260 is arranged downstream of the pressure regulating valve 250.

[0048] The oil outlet pipe 220 is also provided with a second metering pump 270, which is located upstream of the temperature detection unit 211 located on the oil outlet pipe 220. Preferably, in the present application, in order to better collect the lubricating oil in the lubrication box, the oil outlet pipe 220 has two oil outlet branches, and the two oil outlet branches are respectively provided at the bottom of the lubrication box.

[0049] The aforementioned laser system also includes a first laser emitter 330 and a second laser emitter 340. The first laser emitter 330 is signal-connected to a fiber optic displacement sensor 350, which is signal-connected to a fiber optic transmitting and receiving probe 310. The fiber optic displacement sensor 350 is also signal-connected to a photoelectric conversion unit 360, which is signal-connected to a data acquisition system 370.

[0050] The second laser emitter 340 is signal-connected to the grating array sensor 320 , and the grating array sensor 320 is also signal-connected to the photoelectric conversion unit 360 .

[0051] In the present application, the first laser emitter 330 emits a first emission light signal, which is received by the optical fiber displacement sensor 350 and transmitted to the optical fiber transmitting and receiving probe 310. The optical fiber transmitting and receiving probe 310 sends a first emission light signal to the lubricating oil film or the teeth of the end gear 110, and receives a first reflected light signal formed by reflection. The first reflected light signal is transmitted to the photoelectric conversion unit 360 through the optical fiber displacement sensor 350. After passing through the photoelectric conversion unit 360, the first reflected light signal is resolved into a first electrical signal. The first electrical signal is collected by the data acquisition system 370. The distance between the optical fiber transmitting and receiving probe 310 and the reflecting surface can be obtained through the first electrical signal.

[0052] The second laser emitter 340 emits a second emission light signal, which is received by the grating array sensor 320 and forms a second reflected light signal. The second reflected light signal is transmitted to the photoelectric conversion unit 360 and is analyzed into a second electrical signal. The second electrical signal is collected by the data acquisition system 370, and the strain of the first tooth 121 can be obtained through the second electrical signal.

[0053] Since the spur gear 120 is in a rotating state during the measurement process, the cables between the optical fiber transmitting and receiving probe 310 and the grating array sensor 320 are easily twisted and broken. Therefore, a photoelectric slip ring 380 is provided on the first transmission shaft. The photoelectric slip ring 380 realizes signal connection between the optical fiber displacement sensor 350 and the optical fiber transmitting and receiving probe 310, and between the grating array sensor 320 and the photoelectric conversion unit 360.

[0054] Preferably, a baffle is further provided on the first transmission shaft, which is fixed on the first transmission shaft and is used to press the cables of the optical fiber transmitting and receiving probes 310 and the grating array sensor 320 onto the end face of the spur gear 120 .

[0055] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides a measurement method, using the aforementioned face gear pair tooth surface oil film thickness measurement device, comprising the following steps:

[0056] S10. Obtain the meshing track of the end gear 110 on the first tooth 121, and open the first accommodating groove 123 on the meshing track.

[0057] Specifically, the fluorescent material is coated on some teeth of the end gear 110, the second driving unit works and drives the end gear 110 to mesh with the spur gear 120, and after a certain period of time, the fluorescent material will form a meshing track on the first tooth 121, and the first accommodating groove 123 is opened on the tooth surface of the first tooth 121 having the meshing track.

[0058] S20. Fix the optical fiber emission and receiving probe 310 in the first accommodating groove 123, and adjust the orientation of the optical fiber emission and receiving probe 310 so that the optical fiber emission and receiving probe 310 is aligned with the meshing track. The point of the optical fiber emission and receiving probe 310 aligned with the meshing track is the collection point.

[0059] Based on the structure of the first accommodating groove 123, a transparent cover is printed by using 3D technology, and the transparent cover is used to cover the part of the first tooth 121 filled in the first accommodating groove 123. The transparent cover is shaped so that the profile of the transparent cover is consistent with the involute of the first tooth 121, and the transparent cover and the tooth surface of the first tooth 121 are plated with chromium film and subjected to surface treatment to avoid affecting the meshing performance.

[0060] S30. Apply reflective material on the teeth of the end gear 110 to enhance the reflective ability of the end gear 110. After applying the reflective material, drive the spur gear 120 and the end gear 110 to rotate, obtain the first distance and the second distance, the first distance is the distance between the optical fiber emission and receiving probe 310 and the tooth of the end gear 110 meshing with the first tooth 121 obtained by the optical fiber displacement sensor 350 based on the first incident light signal and the first reflected light signal before the lubricating oil is fed in; the second distance is the distance between the optical fiber emission and receiving probe 310 and the lubricating oil film formed by the lubricating oil after the lubricating oil is fed in. The difference between the first distance and the second distance can obtain the oil film thickness of the tooth surface of the first tooth 121.

[0061] S40. Replace the collection point, the oil temperature difference or the strain of the first tooth 121, and repeat step S40 to judge the lubrication effect of the tooth surface of the first tooth 121 at different meshing periods and further judge the meshing danger zone of the first tooth 121.

[0062] Among them, the collection point is obtained by adjusting the position of the optical fiber emission and receiving probe 310 so that the optical fiber emission and receiving probe 310 is aligned with another part of the meshing track. The oil temperature difference is achieved by adjusting the oil temperature. The strain is achieved by adjusting the torque of the first driving unit and the second driving unit.

[0063] The lubrication effect of the tooth surface under different meshing conditions is judged according to the thickness of the lubricating oil film at different sampling points. The lubricating oil film should not be too thin or too thick. If it is too thin, it may not be able to completely isolate the tooth surface, resulting in boundary lubrication or mixed lubrication between the teeth, increasing wear and friction; if it is too thick, the shear force of the lubricating oil will increase, thereby increasing energy loss and heat.

[0064] The strain and oil temperature differential data are combined to determine the dangerous meshing area of ​​the first tooth 121. Generally speaking, the lower the tooth surface temperature, the better the lubrication effect, and the smaller the tooth surface strain, the longer the gear can operate. Areas with excessively thin or thick oil film thickness, high tooth surface temperature, and concentrated strain are considered dangerous areas. These three types of data are combined to determine the dangerous area. Once the dangerous area is known, the gear can be prevented from entering the dangerous meshing area by improving lubrication conditions and layout, and performing tooth surface treatment, ensuring that the gear operates in a well-lubricated state and extending its service life.

[0065] In the present application, a measuring device and a measuring method are provided to modify and process the first tooth 121 to achieve a measurement environment that meets the requirements of the optical fiber, thereby dynamically measuring the oil film on the tooth surface during the operation of a face gear pair using point contact as a transmission method. The device has high accuracy and resolution, and can dynamically detect the thickness of the lubricating oil film in real time during the operation of the gear.

[0066] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
