[0002] Currently, rolling mill bearings typically use tandem bearings, mainly installed on work rolls, intermediate rolls, and support rolls. These bearings require lubrication, and the oil-air lubrication method uses compressed air to deliver thin oil to the bearings.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 This embodiment provides a technical solution: an automatic monitoring device for the oil and gas lubrication system of a rolling mill, including a housing 1, a flow detection sensor 2, and a connection unit 7;

The upper end of the core cylinder 3 is equipped with an encoder 15. The upper end of the rotating sleeve 5 is equipped with a connecting frame 16. The middle part of the connecting frame 16 is fixedly connected to the input shaft of the encoder 15. The output end of the encoder 15 is electrically connected to the input end of the controller 13. The rotating sleeve 5 will drive the input shaft of the encoder 15 to rotate through the connecting frame 16. The upper end of the housing 1 is equipped with a warning light 14. The input end of the warning light 14 is electrically connected to the output end of the controller 13. The end of the brass strip 17 near the core cylinder 3 is equipped with a conductive spring plate 6. The conductive spring plate 6 is slidably connected to the brass ring 4. The conductive spring plate 6 is a red copper conductive spring plate with good elastic contact conductivity.

[0028] Flow detection sensor 2: used for detecting the flow rate of the oil-gas lubrication branch of the rolling mill. The flow detection sensor 2 is installed on the oil pipe of the oil-gas lubrication branch of the rolling mill.

[0029] Connection unit 7: Used for connecting the power supply terminal of the flow detection sensor 2 to the brass strip 17. Connection unit 7 includes a terminal block 71, a slide block 72, and a graphite strip 73. There are multiple terminal blocks 71, all located in the middle of the housing 1. The rotating sleeve 5 rotates by the angle between two adjacent terminal blocks 71 and the axis of the rotating sleeve 5. Each of the multiple terminal blocks 71 has a slide block 72 near the core cylinder 3. Graphite strips 73 are slidably connected inside the multiple slide blocks 72, providing sliding guidance for the graphite strips 73. The multiple graphite strips 73 are designed to cooperate with the brass strip 17. The number of terminals 71, slides 72, graphite strips 73, and flow sensors 2 is consistent, preferably eight or more. The rotating sleeve 5 drives the brass strips 17 to rotate synchronously, allowing the brass strips 17 to alternately conduct electricity with the graphite strips 73. Multiple graphite strips 73 are connected to the terminal block 71 of the same slide 72 via braided copper wire. The input terminal of the flow sensor 2 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the terminal block 71, and the positive input terminal of the flow sensor 2 is connected to the terminal of the terminal block 71. The flow sensors 2 and terminal blocks 71 correspond one-to-one. The brass ring 4 and conductive spring sheet 6 are used to connect the graphite strips. Power is supplied to the graphite strip 73 via the terminal block 71, which powers the flow detection sensor 2. The connecting unit 7 also includes a lever 74 and a spring 75. The levers 74 are respectively located at the end of the graphite strip 73 away from the core cylinder 3, and multiple levers 74 are slidably connected to the vertically corresponding slide block 72. The springs 75 are respectively installed at the end of the slide block 72 away from the core cylinder 3, and multiple springs 75 are located between the levers 74 and the terminal block 71 inside the same slide block 72. The number of springs 75 and levers 74 is the same as the number of slide blocks 72. The springs 75 provide pressure to the graphite strip 73 through the levers 74 to ensure the graphite strip 73... 3. The rotating sleeve 5 has two circular rings 8 on its outer arc surface, and the paddle 74 is set to cooperate with the two circular rings 8. The outer arc surface of the two circular rings 8 is provided with grooves 9, and the grooves 9 correspond to the positions of the brass strip 17. The rotating sleeve 5 will drive the circular rings 8 to rotate synchronously, and the circular rings 8 will push the paddle 74, causing the graphite strip 73, which is away from the brass strip 17, to retract into the interior of the slide block 72, reducing the wear of the graphite strip 73. When the graphite strip 73 corresponds to the groove 9, the circular rings 8 will not push the paddle 74, thus facilitating the contact between the graphite strip 73 and the brass strip 17.

[0030] The system includes a controller 13, which is located on the upper part of the housing 1. The output of the flow detection sensor 2 is electrically connected to the input of the controller 13. The negative terminals of multiple detection sensors 2 are connected in parallel to the negative terminal of the controller 13. The data output terminals of multiple detection sensors 2 are connected in parallel to the input of the controller 13. The flow detection sensor 2 detects the flow rate of the liquid in the oil pipe and transmits the detection result to the controller 13. The input of the brass ring 4 is electrically connected to the output of the controller 13. The brass strip 17 is connected to the positive output of the controller 13. The input of the controller 13 is electrically connected to an external power supply. The encoder 15 can transmit the position information of the rotating sleeve 5 to the controller 13. The controller 13 can determine which flow detection sensor 2 is working, and thus determine whether the lubrication branch is working normally. When an abnormal flow is detected, the controller 13 controls the warning light 14 to work. The warning light 14 emits light to warn and remind, facilitating timely maintenance by maintenance personnel.

[0031] The working principle of the automatic monitoring device for the oil-air lubrication system of the rolling mill provided by this utility model is as follows: During use, the flow detection sensor 2 is installed on the oil pipe of the oil-air lubrication branch of the rolling mill. The positive input terminals of the flow detection sensors 2 on multiple branches are connected to the terminals of the terminal block 71, with each flow detection sensor 2 corresponding to a terminal block 71. The negative terminals of multiple detection sensors 2 are connected in parallel and then connected to the negative terminal of the controller 13. The data output terminals of multiple detection sensors 2 are connected in parallel and then connected to the input terminal of the controller 13. The brass strip 17 is connected to the positive output terminal of the controller 13. During operation, the controller 13 controls the stepper motor 10 to operate. The stepper motor 10 drives the rotating sleeve 5 to rotate through gear 11 and gear 2 12. The angle of rotation of the rotating sleeve 5 each time is the angle between the two adjacent terminal blocks 71 and the axis of the rotating sleeve 5. The rotating sleeve 5 drives the brass strip 17 to rotate synchronously, thus allowing the brass strip 17 to alternately conduct with the graphite strip 73. After the two are connected, the controller 13... The graphite strip 73 is powered through the brass ring 4 and the conductive spring sheet 6. The graphite strip 73 powers the flow detection sensor 2 through the terminal block 71. The flow detection sensor 2 then detects the liquid flow in the oil pipe and transmits the detection result to the controller 13. At the same time, the rotating sleeve 5 drives the input shaft of the encoder 15 to rotate through the connecting bracket 16. The encoder 15 can transmit the position information of the rotating sleeve 5 to the controller 13. The controller 13 can determine which flow detection sensor 2 is working, and thus determine whether the lubrication branch is working normally. After the stepper motor 10 stops for a period of time to complete the detection, the stepper motor 10 continues to control the rotating sleeve 5 to rotate by a specified angle, so that the next branch can be detected. As the stepper motor 10 continues to run, all lubrication branches can be detected in turn. When an abnormal flow is detected, the controller 13 controls the warning light 14 to work. The warning light 14 emits light to remind and remind, which facilitates timely maintenance by maintenance personnel.

[0032] It is worth noting that the flow detection sensor 2, stepper motor 10, controller 13, warning light 14, and encoder 15 disclosed in the above embodiments can be freely configured according to the actual application scenario. The flow detection sensor 2 can be a clamp-type flow sensor of the FD-X series, the stepper motor 10 can be a stepper motor of the 57BYG model, the controller 13 can be a touch screen PLC all-in-one machine of the MC-31MR-4MT-700-FX3S-B model, the warning light 14 can be a warning light of the ONN-M4 model, and the encoder 15 can be an encoder of the GES58011 K1 R4096-L model. The controller 13 controls the operation of the flow detection sensor 2, stepper motor 10, warning light 14, and encoder 15 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
