[0011] 2. The installation seat and the funnel-shaped flow guide frame are arranged, because the shape of the fan gear box is irregular, the installation seat is arranged between the fan gear box and the oil collecting tank, which can avoid affecting the normal transmission of the fan gear box, and facilitate the photographing of the camera, so as to facilitate the identification of whether the fan gear box leaks oil through the image recognition mode, thereby improving the timeliness of oil leakage detection.
