[0023] See also Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of a reduction gearbox lubricating oil circuit detection device provided in one embodiment of the present application. For ease of explanation, only the parts related to this embodiment are shown, which are detailed as follows:

[0024] In one embodiment, a gearbox lubricating oil circuit detection device includes a gearbox body 4, which is connected to a lubricating oil pump 6 through an oil pipe 16. The outlet end of the lubricating oil pump 6 is connected to the gearbox body 4 through the oil pipe 16. A low liquid level detection switch 1 is provided on the gearbox body 4, and a liquid level observation window 2 is provided on the side wall of the gearbox body 4.

[0025] By arranging a low liquid level detection switch 1 on the reduction gear box body 4, the liquid level of the lubricating oil in the reduction gear box can be detected in real time. When the liquid level is lower than the low liquid level detection switch 1, the low liquid level detection switch 1 outputs a low liquid level alarm signal. The equipment stops after receiving the low liquid level alarm signal, and stops the reduction gear box and the input shaft, output shaft and other transmission components thereon from rotating. At this time, only lubricating oil needs to be added. After the lubricating oil level is higher than the low liquid level detection switch 1, it can be started again, avoiding mechanical damage such as tooth surface wear and bearing damage caused by insufficient lubrication due to insufficient oil, extending the service life of the reduction gear box gears and bearings and other transmission components, reducing the workload of maintenance personnel in inspecting the reduction gear box, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0026] By setting a liquid level observation window 2 on the side wall of the reduction gear box body 4, the current liquid level in the reduction gear box can be better observed, which is convenient for staff to add lubricating oil in time and convenient for maintenance personnel to check; the low liquid level detection switch 1 and the liquid level observation window 2 are used together to further ensure the normal operation of the reduction gear box, extend the service life of the reduction gear box, and improve the safety of the reduction gear box during operation.

[0027] For details, please refer to Figure 1 The gearbox body 4 is primarily used for transmission speed conversion and serves as an internal transmission shaft and lubricant storage device. It is equipped with several input and output shafts, which achieve transmission speed conversion through the input and output shafts. The lubricating oil pump 6 mainly transports lubricating oil to the various friction parts of the mechanical equipment to reduce friction between them, thereby reducing wear and extending the service life of the mechanical equipment.

[0028] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The reduction gearbox body 4 is provided with a filter 15, and the outlet end of the filter 15 is connected to the lubricating oil pump 6 through an oil pipe 16. The filter 15 is mainly used to filter the lubricating oil and filter out impurities such as metal powder and particles generated by wear of mechanical components such as bearings and gears.

[0029] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The outlet end of the lubricating oil pump 6 is connected to the reduction gear box body 4 through an oil pipe 16. The heat exchanger 7 is mainly used to transfer heat and reduce the oil temperature of the lubricating oil.

[0030] In one embodiment, see Figure 1-Figure 2 Cooling water 13 is provided outside the heat exchanger 7, forming a circulation path with the heat exchanger 7. A solenoid valve 14 is provided at the outlet of the cooling water 13. The heat exchanger 7 lowers the temperature of the lubricating oil by circulating the cooling water 13. The solenoid valve 14 is used to control the flow of the cooling water 13. When the lubricating oil temperature is high, the cooling water 13 is controlled by the solenoid valve 14 to enter the heat exchanger 7, achieving heat exchange and thus lowering the temperature of the lubricating oil.

[0031] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 An oil pressure gauge 8 and an oil temperature gauge 9 are connected in sequence between the outlet of the heat exchanger 7 and the gearbox body 4 via an oil pipe 16. The oil pressure gauge 8 measures the pressure of the lubricating oil and displays the pressure data in real time; the oil temperature gauge 9 measures the temperature of the lubricating oil and displays the temperature data in real time. The pressure and temperature data allow operators to determine the working condition of the lubricating oil circuit.

[0032] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The outlet end of the oil temperature gauge 9 is connected to the reducer body 4 in sequence through the oil pipe 16 with a pressure sensor 12, a temperature sensor 11 and a flow sensor 10. The main function of the flow sensor 10 is to measure the flow of the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil circuit and transmit the flow data to the control system, thereby realizing automatic control such as automatic alarm and automatic shutdown. The main function of the temperature sensor 11 is to measure the temperature of the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil circuit and transmit the temperature data to the control system. When the temperature data is abnormal for a long time, the control system starts the solenoid valve 14 to control the cooling water 13 to enter the heat exchanger 7 to cool the lubricating oil, thereby realizing automatic control such as automatic alarm and automatic shutdown. The pressure sensor 12 is mainly used to measure the pressure of the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil circuit and transmit the pressure data to the control system, thereby realizing automatic control such as automatic alarm and automatic shutdown.

[0033] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The outlet end of the flow sensor 10 is divided into several branches 17 through the oil pipe 16, and the outlet end of each branch 17 is connected to the reduction box body 4. Each branch 17 is connected to each friction part in the reduction box body 4.

[0034] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 Each branch 17 is provided with an oil sight glass 5 for observing the return oil quantity and oil quality in each branch 17 .

[0035] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , shaft end temperature sensors 3 are provided on both the input shaft and the output shaft to detect the temperature of the transmission bearings and shaft ends of the reduction gearbox at all levels. When the temperature reaches the alarm temperature, the shaft end temperature sensor 3 outputs a temperature alarm signal. After receiving the temperature alarm signal, the equipment stops and stops the rotation of the reduction gearbox and the input shaft, output shaft and other transmission parts. At this time, the staff needs to check whether the temperature of the transmission bearings and shaft ends at all levels is abnormal. If abnormal, the equipment needs to be repaired.

[0036] In one embodiment, see Figure 1-Figure 2 The reduction gearbox lubricating oil circuit detection device also includes a control system, which is electrically connected to the low liquid level detection switch 1, the shaft end temperature sensor 3, the pressure sensor 12, the temperature sensor 11, the flow sensor 10, and the solenoid valve 14.

[0037] The following combination Figure 1-Figure 2 The working process of the reduction gearbox lubricating oil circuit detection device of the present application is described as follows:

[0038] Before the gearbox is started, the lubricating oil pump 6 operates first, pumping the lubricating oil from the gearbox body 4. The oil then filters through the filter 15 and enters the oil pipe 16. From there, the oil flows into the various branches 17 and is ultimately distributed to the various friction points within the gearbox body 4. This ensures that the lubricating oil fully lubricates the transmission gears, bearings, and other mechanical components within the gearbox body 4, effectively lubricating the friction points and preventing damage to the mechanical parts caused by insufficient lubrication before the gearbox is started. As the lubricating oil is distributed to the various friction points through the various branches 17, the oil sight glass 5 is used to monitor the return oil volume and oil quality within each branch 17. While the gearbox is operating, the lubricating oil pump 6 operates continuously, providing real-time lubrication to the various friction points within the gearbox body 4.

[0039] During the flow of lubricating oil, the pressure sensor 12, temperature sensor 11 and flow sensor 10 monitor the pressure, temperature and flow of the lubricating oil in real time and transmit them to the control system. When all three are in normal state, the input shaft and output shaft on the reduction gearbox body 4 can rotate; when the flow data and pressure data detected by the flow sensor 10 and the pressure sensor 12 are abnormal, the control system controls the equipment to shut down for maintenance and inspection, and realizes automatic control such as automatic alarm and automatic shutdown; when the temperature data detected by the temperature sensor 11 is abnormal for a long time, the control system starts the solenoid valve 14 to control the cooling water 13 to enter the heat exchanger 7 to cool the lubricating oil, and realizes automatic control such as automatic alarm and automatic shutdown.

[0040] During the operation of the reduction gearbox, the low liquid level detection switch 1 detects the level of the lubricating oil in the reduction gearbox in real time. When the level is lower than the low liquid level detection switch 1, the low liquid level detection switch 1 outputs a low liquid level alarm signal and transmits it to the control system. The control system controls the equipment to shut down and stops the reduction gearbox and its transmission components. At this time, only lubricating oil needs to be added. When the lubricating oil level is higher than the low liquid level detection switch 1, the machine can be restarted. In addition, the staff can also observe the current level of the lubricating oil in the reduction gearbox through the liquid level observation window 2, which facilitates timely addition of lubricating oil.

[0041] Similarly, during the operation of the reducer, the shaft end temperature sensor 3 detects the temperature of the transmission bearings and shaft ends of each level of the reducer in real time. When the temperature reaches the alarm temperature, the shaft end temperature sensor 3 outputs a temperature alarm signal and transmits it to the control system. The control system controls the equipment to shut down and stops the reducer and the transmission components thereon from rotating. At this time, the staff needs to check whether the temperature of the transmission bearings and shaft ends of each level is abnormal. If abnormal, the equipment needs to be repaired.

[0042] In summary, the present invention provides a reduction gearbox lubricating oil circuit detection device. By arranging a low liquid level detection switch on the reduction gearbox body, the liquid level of the lubricating oil in the reduction gearbox can be detected in real time. When the liquid level is lower than the low liquid level detection switch, the low liquid level detection switch outputs a low liquid level alarm signal. After receiving the low liquid level alarm signal, the device stops and stops the reduction gearbox and the input shaft, output shaft and other transmission components thereon from rotating. At this time, only lubricating oil needs to be added. After the lubricating oil level is higher than the low liquid level detection switch, it can be restarted, thereby avoiding mechanical damage such as tooth surface wear and bearing damage caused by insufficient lubrication due to insufficient oil, extending the service life of transmission components such as reduction gears and bearings, reducing the workload of maintenance personnel in inspecting the reduction gearbox, and reducing maintenance costs. By arranging a liquid level observation window on the side wall of the reduction gearbox body, the current liquid level in the reduction gearbox can be better observed, which is convenient for staff to add lubricating oil in time and convenient for maintenance personnel to inspect. The low liquid level detection switch and the liquid level observation window are used in conjunction with each other to further ensure the normal operation of the reduction gearbox, extend the service life of the reduction gearbox, and improve the safety of the reduction gearbox during operation. The utility model has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can detect the lubrication status of the reduction gear box in real time. When the lubrication status is abnormal, it can promptly alarm and shut down for maintenance, thereby extending the service life of the reduction gear box and improving the safety of the reduction gear box during operation. It is highly practical and can be widely used in the field of reduction gear box technology.
