[0002] The high-speed, heavy-load and continuous production process characteristics of metallurgical enterprises cause huge losses due to unplanned shutdowns of metallurgical equipment. In order to avoid unplanned shutdowns, the level of equipment maintenance must be improved. From industrial mass production to the present, equipment maintenance technology has roughly gone through three stages: post-maintenance → preventive maintenance → condition maintenance or predictive maintenance. The third method is based on the operating conditions of the equipment and the analysis of operating condition data. It determines the equipment status and formulates a maintenance plan through detection, comparison and analysis. Its feature is the use of advanced testing technology for equipment status monitoring and fault diagnosis. Therefore, carrying out equipment status detection is the only way to improve the level of metallurgical equipment maintenance in the future.

[0003] At present, equipment status monitoring has formed a pattern of mainly vibration, oil monitoring, current monitoring and temperature monitoring, supplemented by other technologies. Among them, oil monitoring is the most promising technology for research and application after vibration detection, but it also has the following problems.

[0004] (1) Existing technologies mainly use offline methods to monitor oil, which can easily cause secondary contamination during the oil sample collection process, as well as inaccurate and untimely monitoring results.

[0005] (2) The lack of online oil detection methods for the main equipment of the production line makes it impossible to detect the early signs of equipment failure, and small problems become major failures, affecting the safe and reliable operation of the production line equipment.

[0006] (3) The lubrication system of a modern continuous production line has a huge impact on the high-reliability operation of the equipment. Therefore, with the continuous improvement of automation and intelligence levels, it is objectively necessary to improve the maintenance level of the lubrication system. Utility Model Content

The digital level gauge 2 is set with three warning levels: the trip pump level (50%), the refueling level (60%) and the full level of the oil tank 1 (90%). When the trip pump level occurs, the oil pump unit is triggered to shut down. When the refueling level occurs, the maintenance personnel should replenish the oil in time, usually to the full level. The digital thermometer participates in the oil temperature control. The system sets two warning oil temperatures: low oil temperature (30℃) and high oil temperature (50℃). When the oil temperature is lower than 35℃, the oil heating unit 7 is started to circulate and heat the oil station. The heating stops when the oil temperature reaches 45℃.
