Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of oil multi-parameter online monitoring, and specifically relates to an existing heavy-load train gearbox lubricating oil multi-parameter online monitoring system based on a CAN bus. Background Art
[0002] In my country's heavy-duty train transportation system, heavy-duty trains are the main force in transporting bulk raw materials such as coal, ore and other materials. Their stable and safe operation is of great significance to economic construction. The locomotive is the power core of this transportation system, and its running gear box is the key transmission hub, which is directly related to the traction efficiency and operation safety of the train. As the train has been subjected to high-intensity and long-distance continuous operation for a long time, the working environment inside the gearbox has become particularly complex and harsh. In the continuous mechanical movement, the gears in the gearbox are frequently meshed, and a large amount of friction and wear are generated in this process, which will directly lead to a sharp increase in the oil temperature. Under high temperature environment, the additives in the oil gradually fail, and the performance of the base oil decreases. At the same time, impurities such as metal particles and dust generated by wear continue to accumulate in the oil, forming a vicious circle, which further accelerates the deterioration of the oil quality. The deterioration of oil quality not only weakens its original lubricating effect, but may also cause the lubricating film between the gear meshing surfaces to rupture, causing the gear surfaces in direct contact to be subject to greater friction and wear. Over time, the gear meshing accuracy will be impaired, wear will increase, and eventually gearbox failure may occur, posing a serious threat to the safe operation of heavy-load trains.
[0003] At present, the observation of the lubricating oil condition of the locomotive running gearbox is only done manually through a glass transparent observation window or an oil dipstick to observe the lubricating oil level condition regularly. For the oil quality characteristic parameters such as oil viscosity, density, and water content, samples can only be taken from the locomotive running gearbox for offline measurement. If multiple parameters of the gearbox lubricating oil are monitored, if each type of parameter is monitored by a sensor, it is necessary to open holes on the gearbox to install and arrange multiple sensors, which will inevitably affect the structural characteristics of the existing locomotive gearbox. Therefore, a CAN bus-based oil composite sensor is developed. The oil composite sensor is installed at the existing oil unloading port of the locomotive running gearbox, and a multi-parameter online monitoring system for the existing heavy-duty train gearbox lubricating oil is constructed through the CAN bus networking. It is of great significance to realize the online monitoring of the oil quality characteristics, oil temperature, and oil level parameters of the locomotive running gearbox lubricating oil during the long-term continuous operation of the locomotive, grasp the deterioration state of the oil in real time, and replace the gearbox oil in time to ensure the driving safety of heavy-duty trains.
