Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of axles, in particular to an axle assembly with an intelligent fault early warning system. Background Art
[0002] The axle assembly generally refers to a key part in a vehicle, which includes the axle itself and its associated components, such as bearings and wheel hubs. The axle is a long rod connected to the wheels, helping to support the weight of the vehicle and allowing the wheels to rotate. The design and composition of the axle assembly may vary in different types of vehicles, but the basic function is the same: to provide a stable support structure so that the wheels can rotate effectively, thereby driving or carrying the vehicle. An existing low-profile axle assembly (publication number: CN216231474U) has at least the following defects exposed during use:
[0003] 1. Without an intelligent fault warning system, potential problems with the axle assembly may not be discovered in time until the fault manifests itself and causes a significant decline in mechanical performance or a fault shutdown. This may inadvertently cause safety accidents or increase the difficulty of maintenance. The lack of timely fault detection and warning may cause the problem to inadvertently worsen, requiring more complex and expensive repair measures. In some cases, the fault may cause damage to the entire axle assembly or related components, requiring complete replacement. Therefore, an axle assembly with an intelligent fault warning system is needed.
[0004] 2. Axles are exposed to the outside environment and are susceptible to corrosive substances such as road debris, dirt, water and salt. These substances can attack the axle and related components, accelerating wear and corrosion. Axles and related components need to be cleaned and maintained more frequently to prevent problems caused by factors such as dirt accumulation and moisture. This not only increases the frequency of maintenance, but may also increase long-term maintenance costs. Continued exposure and lack of protection will accelerate the aging process of the axle assembly, reducing its service life, and may require earlier and expensive component replacement. Therefore, an axle assembly with a protective cover is needed.
[0005] 3. Without the wear plate, wear or damage to the axle assembly may not be discovered in time. This means that the parts may continue to work in an unsuitable state until a more serious mechanical failure occurs. Since wear is not easy to detect in time, it may cause sudden failure of the axle assembly, which is particularly dangerous at high speeds or under heavy loads, increasing safety risks. Therefore, an axle assembly with a wear plate is needed. Utility Model Content

[0011] Preferably, the thickness of the protective cover is 2 mm.

[0024] Example
[0025] See also Figure 1-3 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0026] An axle assembly with an intelligent fault warning system includes an axle assembly 1, wherein an axle rod 2 is installed inside the axle assembly 1, the axle assembly 1 is connected to a sealing ring sheet 5, the sealing ring sheet 5 is connected to a clamping ring 4, a bearing 3 is installed inside the clamping ring 4, a temperature detection sheet 6 and a signal transmitter 7 are installed inside the axle assembly 1, and a protective cover 8 is provided on the axle assembly 1.
[0027] Specifically: the protective cover 8 is provided with a wear sheet 9 .
[0028] Specifically: the temperature detection sheet 6, the signal transmitter 7 and the battery are connected via a wire.
[0029] Specifically: the thickness of the protective cover 8 is 2 mm.
[0030] Specifically: the wear sheet 9 is embedded in the protective cover 8 , and the top surface of the wear sheet 9 is flush with the protective cover 8 .
[0031] In this embodiment, a temperature detection sheet 6 and a signal transmitter 7 are installed inside the axle assembly 1, and the temperature detection sheet 6, the signal transmitter 7 and the battery are connected by wires. The temperature detection sheet 6 uses an integrated circuit (IC) temperature sensor produced by NXP Semiconductors. The communication interface of this product is an I2C bus interface, which supports multiple slave devices; the temperature range that can be measured is usually -55°C to +125°C, which is suitable for a variety of environments; digital output (9-bit to 12-bit programmable resolution), directly providing temperature readings; within the range of -25°C to +100°C, the accuracy is ±2°C; within the range of -55°C to +125°C, the accuracy is ±3°C; low power design, suitable for battery-powered applications, typical static current consumption is less than 10μA. The temperature detection sheet 6 can monitor the temperature changes inside the axle assembly 1 in real time, which is a key indicator for detecting potential problems such as overheating. Once the temperature exceeds the normal operating range, the system can immediately warn the operator or maintenance team, thereby identifying the problem in advance and preventing the fault from expanding. Through early fault detection, intervention can be made before the problem becomes serious and expensive. Such a system can help vehicle owners avoid extensive and costly repairs, when instead only minor adjustments or component replacements may be required. Fault warning systems can reduce the risk of accidents caused by sudden failures of the axle assembly 1. Such systems are particularly important for high-speed and heavily loaded vehicles, providing an additional layer of safety. By monitoring and maintaining key parameters of the axle assembly 1, such as temperature, the operating conditions of the assembly can be optimized, thereby extending its service life. Such a system helps keep components operating in optimal conditions and avoids premature wear due to problems such as overheating. Intelligent fault warning systems can reduce vehicle downtime caused by failures or improper maintenance. Vehicles can perform their tasks more reliably and do not have to stop frequently for inspection or repair, thereby improving overall operational efficiency.
[0032] In this embodiment, the axle assembly 1 is provided with a protective cover 8, and the thickness of the protective cover 8 is 2 mm. The protective cover 8 can effectively isolate corrosive substances such as salt, dirt and road gravel from the outside, prevent these substances from directly contacting the axle and related parts, thereby reducing corrosion and wear. By preventing the accumulation of pollutants and the intrusion of water, the protective cover 8 reduces the cleaning and maintenance frequency of the axle assembly 1. This not only reduces the workload of daily maintenance, but also reduces the long-term maintenance cost. The protective cover 8 can delay the aging and wear process of the axle and its related parts, increase the effective service life of the parts, reduce the need for frequent replacement of parts, and thus save replacement costs. Good protection of the axle and related parts reduces the risk of sudden performance failures caused by component damage and increases safety during driving. Keeping the axle assembly 1 clean and dry helps to maintain its stable performance and ensure that the vehicle's handling and driving comfort are not affected by harsh environmental conditions. The protective cover 8 makes the axle assembly 1 more adaptable to various harsh environments, such as mud, rain, snow, etc., and is particularly suitable for use in harsh climates and complex road conditions.
[0033] In this embodiment, the protective cover 8 is provided with a wear sheet 9, and the wear sheet 9 is embedded in the protective cover 8, and the top surface of the wear sheet 9 is flush with the protective cover 8. The wear sheet 9 can intuitively indicate the wear state of the axle assembly 1. When the top surface of the wear sheet 9 is flush with the protective cover 8, it means that the predetermined wear limit has been reached and it is necessary to check or replace it, so as to avoid sudden failures caused by excessive wear. Timely wear detection and maintenance can greatly reduce the risk of safety accidents caused by axle failure during driving, especially under high speed or heavy load conditions, keeping the axle components in good condition is crucial for the safety of the whole vehicle. Wear problems can be discovered in advance through the wear sheet 9, and repairs or replacements can be carried out in time to avoid chain repairs involving more related components due to increased wear, thereby controlling and reducing maintenance costs. The wear sheet 9 can reduce vehicle downtime caused by fault inspection or unexpected maintenance, so that the vehicle maintains higher operating efficiency and availability. The wear sheet 9 provides maintenance personnel with a fast and intuitive inspection method, simplifies the maintenance process, and makes maintenance work more efficient and accurate.
[0034] It should be noted that, as an axle assembly with an intelligent fault warning system, the utility model can optimize the working conditions of the assembly through the temperature detection plate 6, thereby extending its service life, helping to keep the components operating in the best condition, and avoiding early wear caused by problems such as overheating; by installing the protective cover 8, it can effectively isolate external corrosive substances such as salt, dirt and road gravel, preventing these substances from directly contacting the axle and related components, thereby reducing corrosion and wear; by installing the wear plate 9, the wear state of the axle assembly 1 can be intuitively indicated, greatly reducing the risk of safety accidents caused by axle failure during driving.
