Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of equipment maintenance, and particularly relates to a bearing grease lubrication test device for rotating equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] The rotating equipment bearing temperature of closed cooling water pumps, safety service water pumps, condensate water pumps and seawater circulating pumps is prone to high and severe fluctuations. This phenomenon is strongly associated with the amount of lubricating grease added in the bearing chamber. If the amount of lubricating grease added is too much, it will cause poor heat dissipation of the bearing, accelerate the overheating failure of the lubricating grease and lose the lubricating performance, resulting in the final damage of the bearing. If the amount of lubricating grease added is too little, it will cause the bearing rolling body and cage, inner and outer rings to fail to establish an oil film, resulting in direct metal friction and rapid damage of the bearing. However, due to the fully closed structure of the bearing chamber, the working state of the bearing rolling body and the micro-distribution of the lubricating grease inside the bearing chamber cannot be directly displayed, which makes it impossible to accurately judge the lubrication state of the bearing, so that accurate and effective treatment measures cannot be developed, becoming a professional and technical blind area that needs to be overcome in equipment reliability management.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0013] As Figures 1-5 shown in a kind of rotating equipment bearing grease lubrication test device, including base plate 1, the top of base plate 1 is fixedly connected with a pair of vertical plate 2, vertical plate 2 is inserted and rotationally arranged with shell 10 between by inserting shaft, the outer wall of one vertical plate 2 is fixedly installed with first motor 11, the output end of first motor 11 is fixedly connected with driving pulley 12, the outer wall of one vertical plate 2 is inserted and rotationally connected with first matching gear 14 by shaft, one side of first matching gear 14 is fixedly connected with driven pulley 13, and driven pulley 13 and driving pulley 12 are tensionedly connected between by belt, one side of the outer wall of shell 10 is fixedly connected with second matching gear 15, and second matching gear 15 is engaged between first matching gear 14, the inside of shell 10 is provided with test mechanism 3, test mechanism 3 is used to test bearing grease, first motor 11 is energized to drive driving pulley 12 to rotate, driven pulley 13 and first matching gear 14 are synchronously rotated by the connection of belt, first matching gear 14 and second matching gear 15 are engaged, so finally the whole shell 10 can be driven to rotate along the shaft, and the orientation and position of test mechanism 3 are adjusted, various angle installation modes that bearing can present in the process of actual use can be successfully simulated by this design, and the structure is simple and convenient to adjust.

[0014] A rotating plate 4 is fixedly connected to the other side of the outer wall of the housing 10. A ring 8 is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the rotating plate 4. The outer wall of the ring 8 is provided with evenly distributed scale holes 9. The outer wall of the rotating plate 4 is provided with evenly distributed lightweight holes 5. The rotating plate 4 rotates synchronously with the housing 10, and the corresponding scale holes 9 also rotate. The user can intuitively judge the angle at this time by the change of the scale holes 9, which can help the user record the relevant test data at what angle.

[0015] A magnetic mating plate 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating plate 4, and a de-energized electromagnet 7 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the other vertical plate 2. The de-energized electromagnet 7 and the magnetic mating plate 6 are magnetically mated. When the de-energized electromagnet 7 is not energized, it has its own magnetic force and can attract the magnetic mating plate 6. It can cooperate with the first mating gear 14 and the second mating gear 15 and share the pressure it bears, thereby further improving the support capacity of the housing 10. When the de-energized electromagnet 7 is energized, its magnetic force disappears. At this time, the first motor 11 can drive the housing 10 to rotate to adjust its angle.

[0016] After the first motor 11 is powered on, it is connected by the active pulley 12, the driven pulley 13, the first mating gear 14 and the second mating gear 15. The torque it outputs can drive the housing 10 and the test mechanism 3 installed inside to rotate along the axis, thereby adjusting its specific angle to simulate various usage scenarios at different installation angles. During the process, the rotation angle can be intuitively judged through the scale hole 9. At the same time, when idle, the de-energized electromagnet 7 can forcibly support the housing 10. The structure is simple and practical. The testing mechanism 3 includes a second motor 17 fixedly installed inside the housing 10. The output end of the second motor 17 is fixedly connected to a drive shaft 30, and the other end of the drive shaft 30 is inserted into and rotatably connected to one side of the inner wall of the housing 10. A first fixing seat 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the base plate 1, and the drive shaft 30 is rotatably connected to and inserted into the other side of the outer wall of the first fixing seat 18. A torque sensor 19 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the first fixing seat 18. Four second fixing seats 20 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base plate 1, and the drive shaft 30 is rotatably connected to and inserted into the other side of one of the second fixing seats 20. The other three second fixing seats 20 are inserted between themselves and one side of the inner wall of the housing 10. The drive shaft 30 is rotatably connected to a driven shaft 21. A first driven gear 22, a second driven gear 23, and a third driven gear 25 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the three driven shafts 21, and the first driven gear 22 and the second driven gear 23 mesh with each other. A drive gear 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drive shaft 30, and the drive gear 24 meshes with the second driven gear 23 and the third driven gear 25, respectively. A fixing chamber 27 is provided on the outer walls of both the driven shaft 21 and the drive shaft 30. A mounting base 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing chamber 27. A bearing 28 is fixedly installed inside the fixing chamber 27, and the drive shaft 30 and the driven shaft 21 are both fixedly connected and inserted into the other side of the bearing 28. A detection component 29 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed chamber 27. After the second motor 17 is powered on, it can drive the drive shaft 30 to rotate. Through the connection relationship of the first driven gear 22, the second driven gear 23, the drive gear 24 and the third driven gear 25, it can synchronously drive the three driven shafts 21 to rotate. The driven shafts 21 and the drive shaft 30 respectively drive the bearings 28 inside the fixed chamber 27 to rotate. During the process, the detection component 29 detects the internal condition of the bearings 28, so as to simulate the test of the bearing grease. At the same time, different greases can be injected for multiple tests. By using the frequency converter to drive the second motor 17 and working with the torque sensor 19, the experimental data at the specific rotation speed can be obtained. It should be noted that the driven shafts 21 and the drive shaft 30 tightly drive the bearings 28 to rotate, so the second motor 17 has enough spare force to drive all the bearings 28 to rotate. The shape of the third driven gear 25 is larger than that of the driving gear 24. The shape of the third driven gear 25 is larger than that of the second driven gear 23. The shape of the second driven gear 23 is larger than that of the first driven gear 22. During the synchronous rotation of the third driven gear 25, the second driven gear 23 and the first driven gear 22 driven by the driving gear 24, the difference in gear ratio between them causes them to rotate at different speeds. This design allows us to know the specific usage at different rotation speeds even when the same type of grease is injected into the interior of all bearings 28. A temperature control chamber 16 is provided outside the fixed chamber 27. The temperature control chamber 16 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 10, and the driven shaft 21 and the driving shaft 30 are rotatably connected and inserted into the outer walls of the temperature control chamber 16. This design can simulate the use scenarios of the bearing 28 at different temperatures.

[0017] The detection component 29 includes a temperature sensor, a vibration sensor, and a mass sensor, which enables the detection of grease inside the bearing.

[0018] Through the connection of the first driven gear 22, the driving gear 24, and the third driven gear 25, the second motor 17 can synchronously drive multiple bearings 28 to rotate for various tests. Different types of grease are injected into the interior of the bearings 28, and then the second motor 17 is driven by a staged frequency converter, so that the first driven gear 22 to the third driven gear 25 gradually reach a certain rotation speed, thereby simulating the rotation of the bearings 28 under different greases. Injecting the same type of grease into the interior of the bearings 28 can simulate the use of the same grease at different rotation speeds. By adjusting the temperature through the temperature control chamber 16, the use of the bearings 28 at different temperatures can be simulated. This design can simulate the use of the same grease at different speeds and different greases at the same speed in one test, resulting in high testing efficiency.

[0019] Working principle: After the first motor 11 is powered on, it is connected by the active pulley 12, the driven pulley 13, the first mating gear 14 and the second mating gear 15. The torque output by the motor can drive the housing 10 and the test mechanism 3 installed inside to rotate along the axis, thereby adjusting the specific angle to simulate various installation angle usage scenarios. During the process, the rotation angle can be intuitively judged through the scale hole 9. At the same time, when idle, the de-energized electromagnet 7 can forcibly support the housing 10. The structure is simple and practical. Through the connection of the first driven gear 22, the driving gear 24, and the third driven gear 25, the second motor 17 can synchronously drive multiple bearings 28 to rotate for various tests. Different types of grease are injected into the interior of the bearings 28, and then the second motor 17 is driven by a staged frequency converter, so that the first driven gear 22 to the third driven gear 25 gradually reach a certain rotation speed, thereby simulating the rotation of the bearings 28 under different greases. Injecting the same type of grease into the interior of the bearings 28 can simulate the use of the same grease at different rotation speeds. By adjusting the temperature through the temperature control chamber 16, the use of the bearings 28 at different temperatures can be simulated. This design can simulate the use of the same grease at different speeds and different greases at the same speed in one test, resulting in high testing efficiency.
