Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of oil leakage detection of tobacco factory equipment, and particularly relates to a reducer oil leakage detection device. Background Art

[0002] Reducers are the primary transmission components of various types of equipment in tobacco shred production lines, and they are used in large numbers. Over long-term use, reducers often leak lubricant from the gears due to output shaft wear, oil seal aging, and exhaust valve failure. Since tobacco shred production lines are assembly line production systems, limited by equipment structure and space, as well as the connection between upstream and downstream equipment, reducers are often located above downstream equipment. If the reducer above the downstream equipment leaks oil, the gear lubricant will leak into the materials being transported or stored in the downstream equipment, contaminating the materials. The contaminated materials then mix with other materials in the next process, spreading the contamination and causing serious quality problems.

[0003] The current solution is to install an oil collection box below the reducer. However, due to space constraints, the capacity of the oil collection box installed below the reducer is limited. If the reducer oil leak is not detected in time or the leak is large, the oil collection box can easily fill up with gear lubricant. The gear lubricant then overflows the oil collection box and leaks into the materials being transported or stored in downstream equipment, causing material contamination. Therefore, how to design a reducer oil leakage detection device that can detect reducer oil leaks more quickly and prevent material contamination has become a technical problem that technicians in this field urgently need to solve. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a reducer oil leakage detection device to solve the above technical problems in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A reducer oil leakage detection device includes a base, oil-absorbing paper, an organic glass cover, an oil-absorbing fiberboard, and a color sensor. A receiving groove and a connecting groove are provided on one side surface of the base, and one end of the connecting groove is connected to one side of the receiving groove; the oil-absorbing paper is arranged in the receiving groove, and one end of the oil-absorbing fiberboard is connected to the oil-absorbing paper after passing through the connecting groove, and the other end of the oil-absorbing fiberboard is away from the base; the organic glass cover is provided on the receiving groove and the connecting groove; the probe of the color sensor is opposite to the oil-absorbing paper, and the color sensor is electrically connected to the controller of the reducer; the oil-absorbing paper and the base have different colors.

[0007] Preferably, it further includes an alarm, and the alarm is electrically connected to the controller.

[0008] Preferably, it further comprises a dust-proof cover, which is sleeved outside the middle portion of the oil-absorbing fiberboard.

[0009] Preferably, the base is a rectangular base, the organic glass cover is a rectangular plate adapted to the base, and the organic glass cover is detachably connected to the base.

[0010] Preferably, the four corners of the organic glass cover are connected to the base by screws respectively.

[0011] Preferably, the oil-absorbing paper is white oil-absorbing paper, and the base is red.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] The reducer oil leakage detection device of the present invention is used by placing the end of the oil-absorbing fiberboard away from the base at the leak point of the reducer. The gear lubricating oil leaking from the leak point will be absorbed by the oil-absorbing fiberboard and transferred to the oil-absorbing paper. At the same time, because the organic glass cover is transparent, the color of the oil-absorbing paper can be detected in real time through the color sensor. When the oil-absorbing paper is soaked with gear lubricating oil, it becomes transparent. The color sensor will then detect the color of the base, triggering the color sensor to send an oil leakage signal to the controller, which then controls the reducer to shut down. It can be seen that the present invention can detect reducer oil leakage in a relatively timely manner, effectively preventing material contamination. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0025] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides an oil leakage detection device for a reducer, which includes a base 11, oil-absorbing paper 61, an organic glass cover 21, an oil-absorbing fiber board 31, and a color sensor 51. A receiving groove 12 and a connecting groove 13 are provided on one side surface of the base 11, and one end of the connecting groove 13 is connected to one side of the receiving groove 12; the oil-absorbing paper 61 is arranged in the receiving groove 12, and one end of the oil-absorbing fiber board 31 passes through the connecting groove 13 and is connected to the oil-absorbing paper 61, and the other end of the oil-absorbing fiber board 31 is away from the base 11; the organic glass cover 21 is covered on the receiving groove and the connecting groove; the probe of the color sensor 51 is opposite to the oil-absorbing paper 61, and the color sensor 51 is electrically connected to the controller of the reducer; the oil-absorbing paper 61 is different in color from the base 11.

[0027] The reducer oil leakage detection device provided by the present embodiment of the utility model, when in use, places the end of the oil-absorbing fiberboard 31 away from the base 11 at the leak point of the reducer. The gear lubricating oil leaking from the leak point will be absorbed by the oil-absorbing fiberboard and transferred to the oil-absorbing paper. At the same time, the color of the oil-absorbing paper 61 is detected in real time by the color sensor 51. When the oil-absorbing paper is soaked with the gear lubricating oil, it becomes transparent, allowing the color of the base to appear. The color sensor 51 then detects the color of the base, triggering the color sensor to send an oil leakage signal to the controller, which then controls the reducer to shut down. As can be seen, the present utility model can detect reducer oil leakage in a relatively timely manner, effectively preventing material contamination.

[0028] Furthermore, the reducer oil leakage detection device also includes an alarm, which is electrically connected to the controller. With this solution, upon receiving the oil leakage signal sent by the color sensor 51, the controller can not only control the reducer to stop, but also control the alarm to sound an alarm, thereby better alerting the staff and allowing them to detect the reducer oil leakage more promptly.

[0029] Preferably, the alarm is an audible and visual alarm.

[0030] Furthermore, the reducer oil leakage detection device includes a dust cover 41, which is mounted over the middle portion of the oil-absorbing fiber board 31. This dust cover effectively protects the oil-absorbing fiber board and prevents dust accumulation thereon. It is understood that dust covers may be installed on all portions of the oil-absorbing fiber board, except for the end located at the leakage point and the end located in the connecting groove.

[0031] Specifically, the base 11 is a rectangular base, the organic glass cover 21 is a rectangular plate adapted to the base, and the organic glass cover is detachably connected to the base, so that the organic glass cover is easy to remove to replace the oil-absorbing paper and the oil-absorbing fiberboard.

[0032] Preferably, the four corners of the organic glass cover 21 are connected to the base 11 by screws 22, thereby conveniently achieving a detachable connection between the organic glass cover 21 and the base 11, while also making the connection between the organic glass cover 21 and the base 11 more secure and reliable. In this case, the four corners of the organic glass cover are each provided with mounting holes 23, and the base 11 is provided with threaded holes 14 corresponding to the four mounting holes. During installation, the threaded sections of the screws are passed through the mounting holes, matched with the threaded holes, and tightened, thereby fixing the organic glass cover to the base.

[0033] Specifically, the oil-absorbing paper 61 is white, and the base 11 is red. With this solution, the oil-absorbing paper is white, and after absorbing oil, it becomes transparent, facilitating the display of the base's color. In other embodiments, the oil-absorbing paper and base can be other colors, as long as the colors are easily distinguishable and provide a good basis for color sensor recognition.

[0034] During installation, the present invention is installed by mounting the base 11 on the reducer through a bracket near a possible leakage point on the reducer, pressing one end of the oil-absorbing fiberboard 31 against one side of the oil-absorbing paper, and placing the other end of the oil-absorbing fiberboard at the leakage point. The organic glass cover is then fixed to the base by screws, and the oil-absorbing fiberboard and the oil-absorbing paper are pressed together by the organic glass cover 21. The dust cover is then put on the middle part of the oil-absorbing fiberboard. The color sensor 51 is then fixed to the reducer through a bracket so that the probe of the color sensor is opposite to the oil-absorbing paper, and the aperture generated by the probe falls only on the oil-absorbing paper and not on the base. The color sensor is then adjusted to the optimal detection position.

[0035] Preferably, the power input terminal of the color sensor 51 is connected to the power supply of the reducer, so that the color sensor can be synchronized with the start and stop of the reducer.

[0036] Specifically, the end of the oil-absorbing fiber sheet 31 away from the base 11 can be attached to the leak point of the reducer using double-sided tape or fixed to the leak point of the reducer using a clip. In the present invention, the assembly consisting of the base, oil-absorbing paper, organic glass cover, oil-absorbing fiber sheet, and dust cover can be referred to as an oil-absorbing assembly.

[0037] When using the color sensor 51, the color displayed by the oil-absorbing paper 61 before it is soaked with gear lubricant can be set as the background color of the color sensor, and the color displayed by the oil-absorbing paper 61 after it is soaked with gear lubricant, i.e., the color of the base, can be set as the color to be detected by the color sensor. When the leak point on the reducer is not leaking oil, the color detected by the color sensor is the color of the oil-absorbing paper, i.e., the background color, and the reducer operates normally. When the leak point on the reducer is leaking oil, the color detected by the color sensor 51 is the color that becomes transparent after the oil-absorbing paper becomes transparent, i.e., the color of the base 11. At this time, the color sensor transmits an oil leakage signal to the controller. Upon receiving this oil leakage signal, the controller controls the reducer to shut down and triggers an alarm. It is understood that if any portion of the oil-absorbing paper within the aperture of the probe becomes transparent due to soaking, causing the color of the base to appear, the color sensor will trigger the oil leakage signal to the controller.

[0038] It is understood that the organic glass cover 21 is a transparent cover, which does not affect the color sensor's recognition of the oil-absorbing paper color and can also fix the oil-absorbing paper and oil-absorbing fiberboard. After the controller controls the reducer to stop and the oil leakage problem is solved, the organic glass cover 21 is removed from the base 11, and the oil-absorbing paper and oil-absorbing fiberboard soaked with gear lubricating oil are removed. The oil stains on the base 11 and the organic glass cover 21 are cleaned, and then the oil-absorbing paper and oil-absorbing fiberboard are replaced with new ones. The organic glass cover is reinstalled, and the reducer is started. The reducer oil leakage detection device can then be put into use again.

[0039] The utility model uses the oil-absorbing fiber board 31 and the oil-absorbing paper 61 with fast oil absorption speed, high oil absorption rate and good overall performance, which can realize rapid oil absorption; at the same time, the utility model can realize automatic detection of oil leakage at the leakage point of the reducer, and after the oil leakage is detected, it can also promptly stop the reducer and issue an alarm, effectively avoiding the contamination of the material caused by the gear lubricating oil leaking into the material being transported or stored in the downstream equipment; and it can reduce the labor intensity of maintenance personnel in equipment inspection work.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that modifications may be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
