Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention patent belongs to the technical field of mine machinery maintenance, and particularly relates to a temperature sensor installation method on a motor of a fine sand machine. BACKGROUND
[0002] The fine sand machine is a machine for producing artificial sand. In the case of increasingly scarce natural sand resources, artificial sand is the first choice of substitute. The power of the fine sand machine is generally between 100-350 kw. When working, the fine sand machine has large vibration, large dust and large noise. When the fine sand machine encounters large stone blocks or stone blocks with high hardness or is congested, the motor temperature may be increased due to excessive load. When the temperature of the motor shell reaches 70 DEG C, manual intervention must be performed, otherwise the motor may be burned out. The sand making in the mine field adopts a flow line operation. The burning out of the motor will cause the stop of the operation of the mining, ore transportation and ore processing machines, and great loss will be brought to production.
[0003] At present, enterprises rely on two ways to prevent the burning out of the motor of the fine sand machine. One way is to prevent the burning out of the motor through manual inspection. When checking, the worker holds an infrared temperature measuring instrument to check the temperature of the motor shell at a close distance. Since the monitored shell position is random, the detected temperature difference is large, and the detected temperature cannot well reflect the early warning temperature. The other way is to reasonably control the feeding amount of the fine sand machine to prevent large stone blocks from being stuck and prevent the feeding amount from being too large to cause congestion.
[0004] In 2024, Li Congquan, an associate professor of Tianmen Vocational College, disclosed the project of "Hubei Provincial Academy of Sciences and Expert Enterprise Line" (Ehuanli 2024 [No. 31]) at the request of Yinfen Mining Industry Co., Ltd. to solve the problem of burning out of the motor of the fine sand machine when working. In the implementation process of the project, the enterprise party gave great support, and the Enshi Secondary Vocational School gave great support. The school's resources were used to consult the industry technology development trend, a sample machine was developed, and related tests were conducted. Previously, relevant scientific researchers engaged in the research of motor temperature sensing. Since the working conditions of the motor used are different from the crushing of ore, the method used is also different, which is summarized as follows.
[0005] Chen Biao, Cui Shunyu, Sun Sheng and others disclosed an invention technology of motor temperature detection, and the patent name is "a temperature sensor installation method on a flat wire stator and a flat wire stator", and the patent application number is 202010592478.3. The method is to sleeve a heat shrink tube on a flat copper winding, insert a sensor between the heat shrink tube and the flat copper, and then weld. The heat shrink tube is shrunk by heat to fix the sensor on the flat copper winding. The method uses the coating and drop paint process. The coating powder and paint skin are easy to fall off during the operation of the motor, which affects the normal operation of the motor.
[0006] Hu Yan, Tan Mingqi, Rui Chaojie, etc. in December 2022 disclosed a motor temperature detection technology, which installs a sensor on the flat wire stator. When making, a pre-embedded part is arranged in the middle of the flat copper winding twist head section. After overall coating, the pre-embedded part is taken out, thus forming a hollow cavity with a wall thickness of 0.4 to 0.6 mm. The temperature sensor is fixed in the hollow cavity by glue. Fixing the sensor on the motor stator can accurately detect the motor temperature and has good practicability on small and medium-sized motors. The problem is that the sensor is glued in the hollow cavity with strong glue. If the sensor fails, taking out the sensor will inevitably damage the wall forming the hollow cavity, and even the adjacent paint may be damaged.
[0007] Yang Changjun, Fu Guangze, Pan Rongfu, etc. disclosed a motor electric control junction box copper bar temperature detection system in January 2023, with a patent number CN202222890257.1. The technical feature is that the copper bar is connected with the output wiring section, and the temperature sensor is stacked on the output wiring terminal through an insulating gasket. One temperature sensor is installed on each output wiring terminal to detect the temperature of each copper bar. This installation method directly contacts the sensor with the circuit, and the temperature detection circuit will be subjected to a large current impact at the moment of motor starting, which is not suitable for use on a 300kw or more high-power motor.
[0008] Considering the high power, strong current and strong vibration of the fine sand machine motor, it is not suitable to monitor the temperature of the coil winding in a contact manner. The temperature of the motor should be monitored in a non-contact manner. The infrared temperature sensor can avoid the influence of the motor circuit on the detection circuit. In addition, the fine sand processing workshop has a lot of dust, so the use of infrared temperature sensors to monitor signals needs to solve the problems of signal fidelity and installation reliability. SUMMARY

[0013] 5. The surface of the wound iron wire is coated with strong glue, and then the surface of the glue is wrapped with insulating tape after the glue is dry.

[0015] 7. Preferably, the surface of the glue is wrapped with insulating tape, and the insulating tape is wound 2 to 3 layers.

[0017] 2.

This technology can prevent the nut from returning due to vibration. Similarly, small grooves are made on the end surfaces of the through holes on the cover of the terminal box, and the rubber washer will be embedded in the small groove when tightening the nut.

This measure can further prevent the nut from loosening and ensure that the sensor can be reliably installed on the cover of the terminal box when the fine sand machine is working.
