Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of gear fault diagnosis, and particularly relates to a gear fault detection test bench based on infrared temperature measurement. Background Art
[0002] In today's mechanical equipment production, gear transmission is one of the most commonly used transmission methods. Gear failure is one of the important factors affecting the production activities of equipment. In modern industrial production, it is extremely common for various losses to occur due to the failure of gears not being detected in time, and the resulting economic losses are extremely prominent. Therefore, on-line monitoring and fault diagnosis of gear sets can not only improve the safety and reliability of transmission equipment, but also effectively reduce maintenance costs, avoid sudden accidents, and reduce economic losses. At present, the monitoring and diagnosis technologies for gear transmission mainly include methods such as vibration analysis, acoustic detection, temperature monitoring, and oil analysis.
[0003] The infrared method is widely used in gear fault detection. As a non-contact temperature measurement method, its principle is to capture the infrared radiation signal generated on the gear surface due to friction, wear, or local overheating, so as to judge the operating state of the gear. Compared with traditional methods such as vibration analysis and noise monitoring, the infrared method has the advantages of fast response speed and being free from mechanical vibration interference, and is particularly suitable for gear fault detection under high-speed and heavy-load working conditions.
[0004] The gear fault detection device based on the infrared method mainly uses a fixed infrared sensor or a portable thermal imager. The infrared method can achieve non-contact measurement and will not affect the main part of the gear operation. It can play a role in timely warning in the early stage of gear operation, reduce losses, and increase the safety of the equipment. Most of the existing technologies in the infrared method are aimed at the algorithm processing of the collected infrared signals. When collecting signals, a single infrared temperature measurement sensor is mostly used. Therefore, the interference of the ambient temperature in the signal collection link is still the main problem to be solved. There is an urgent need for a new type of gear fault detection device that can realize on-line fault detection function using the infrared method to improve the detection accuracy and efficiency.

[0024] The detection device 6 is used to measure the infrared radiation intensity when the gears collide, so as to realize the fault detection of the gears. It is provided with an infrared temperature sensor positioning screw 61; an infrared temperature sensor 62; an experimental gear gear shaft limiting device positioning screw 63; an experimental gear gear shaft limiting device 64; an experimental gear 65; an experimental gear motor shaft 66; a coupling 67; a motor 68 that drives the experimental gear to rotate; a slider 69; a slide table 610; a test gear gear shaft limiting device positioning screw 611; a test gear gear shaft limiting device 612; a test gear limiting sleeve 613; a test gear motor shaft 614; a test gear 615; a motor 616 that drives the test gear to rotate; a positioning screw 617 of the motor that drives the test gear to rotate.
[0025] In the present invention, the infrared radiation signal emitted at the gear meshing point will be received by the infrared temperature sensor 62 of the detection device 6.
[0026] In the present invention, when the detection device 6 is working normally, the infrared radiation signals emitted within the gear set can be correctly collected by the infrared temperature sensor 62, and the directions towards which the three infrared temperature sensors are oriented are all at the gear meshing position, and they are arranged in an equilateral triangle array, thereby achieving the effect of excluding other interfering heat sources.

[0029] See Figure 1 、Figure 4 , specifically, the sliding table 610 is tightly connected to the upper end of the device fixing frame 3. The slider 69 below it is tightly connected to the motor 68 that drives the experimental gear to rotate.

An experimental gear 65 is sleeved on the experimental gear motor shaft 66, and a coupling 67 is sleeved above the experimental gear 65, which can play a certain buffering and vibration damping effect. At the same time, the experimental gear gear shaft limiting device 64 is tightly connected to the experimental table 1 through the positioning screw 63 of the experimental gear gear shaft limiting device. At the same time, when the experimental gear gear shaft limiting device 64 meshes with the two gears, the experimental gear motor shaft 66 is approximately tangent, playing a role in buffering, vibration damping, and protecting the gears. The motor 616 that drives the gear under test to rotate is tightly connected to the main truss 1 of the experimental table through the positioning screw 617 of the motor that drives the gear under test to rotate. A gear under test 615 is sleeved on the gear under test motor shaft 614, and a gear under test limiting sleeve 613 is provided at the end of the gear under test motor shaft 614, playing a role in preventing the gear from popping out after collision. The gear under test gear shaft limiting device 612 is tightly connected to the upper end of the device fixing frame 3 through the positioning screw 611 of the gear under test gear shaft limiting device and is approximately tangent to the gear under test gear shaft 614, playing a role in buffering, vibration damping, and protecting the gears. At the same time, three infrared temperature sensors 62 are tightly connected to the main truss 1 of the experimental table by the infrared temperature sensor positioning screw 61, and the orientation directions are all at the gear meshing position, making the measurement results more accurate.
[0030] In the present invention, the infrared temperature sensor 62 is specifically a single high-precision non-contact infrared temperature sensor. The three infrared temperature sensors are arranged in an equilateral triangle array infrared temperature sensor to make the measurement results more accurate.
