[0037] In the hydraulic system, the oil is the working medium for transmitting energy, which plays a role in transmitting and converting energy in the hydraulic system. In some situations, such as the hydraulic system of coal mine equipment, due to the harsh working environment, if the oil is not monitored in time, it may cause the hydraulic system to stop production unplanned, affecting the efficiency. Therefore, the monitoring of the oil in the hydraulic system is also an essential link.

[0038] The traditional oil monitoring device usually includes a sensor, which determines the state of the oil by monitoring the temperature, flow rate, etc. of the oil. When the state of the oil is abnormal, manual adjustment of the oil is required. Specifically, an oil monitoring sensor is added to monitor the working data of the hydraulic system, the working data is analyzed to determine the working condition of the equipment, and if the trend of the equipment working parameters is abnormal, a maintenance plan is developed for processing, reducing the damage of the hydraulic components and even the paralysis of the entire hydraulic system. However, the traditional oil monitoring and adjustment method has the disadvantages of reaction time lag and low efficiency.

[0039] Therefore, the present application provides an oil monitoring system, which can timely discover abnormal changes in the state of the oil, such as excessive temperature and abnormal pressure, through real-time monitoring of the oil monitoring assembly, and realize rapid response and control of the state of the oil through intelligent adjustment of the proportional speed regulating valve, the cooling unit and the heating unit, thereby ensuring the good state of the oil, reducing equipment failure, and improving the stability and reliability of the hydraulic system.

[0040] The oil monitoring system of the present application is described below. Figure 1 The oil monitoring system of the present application is described below.

[0041] With reference to Figure 1 The oil monitoring system of the present application includes an oil storage device 100, a monitoring unit 200, a cooling unit 300 and a heating unit 400.

[0042] The oil storage device 100 includes an oil storage cavity for containing oil; the monitoring unit 200 includes a circulating pipeline 200a and a first driving pump 210, a proportional speed regulating valve 220 and an oil monitoring assembly 230 arranged on the circulating pipeline 200a, the circulating pipeline 200a is in circulation communication with the oil storage cavity, the first driving pump 210 is used to drive the oil to flow between the circulating pipeline 200a and the oil storage device 100, the proportional speed regulating valve 220 is used to regulate the flow of the oil in the circulating pipeline 200a, and the oil monitoring assembly 230 is at least configured to monitor the temperature, pressure and flow of the oil in the circulating pipeline 200a.

[0043] The cooling unit 300 comprises a cooling device 310, a second driving pump 320 and a cooling pipeline 330, the cooling pipeline 330 is arranged in the oil storage cavity, the inlet end and the outlet end of the cooling pipeline 330 are communicated with the cooling device 310, and the second driving pump 320 is used for driving the cooling liquid to flow in the cooling pipeline 330; the heating unit 400 is arranged in the oil storage cavity to heat the oil liquid, and the heating power of the heating unit 400 is adjustable.

[0044] Specifically, in an example, when the monitoring device monitors that the oil liquid temperature is lower than the preset value by more than 3℃, the heating unit 400 heats the oil liquid at high power; when the oil liquid temperature is lower than the preset value by 0-3℃, the heating unit 400 heats the oil liquid at low power; when the oil liquid temperature is higher than the preset value by more than 2℃, the heating unit 400 is closed, and the cooling unit 300 cools the oil liquid until the oil liquid temperature is between 0-1℃.

[0045] Through the real-time monitoring of the oil liquid monitoring assembly 230, abnormal changes of the oil liquid state, such as excessively high temperature and abnormal pressure, can be found in time, and the intelligent adjustment of the proportional speed regulating valve 220, the cooling unit 300 and the heating unit 400 realizes the rapid response and control of the oil liquid state, ensures the good state of the oil liquid, reduces the occurrence of equipment failure, and improves the stability and reliability of the hydraulic system.

[0046] Optionally, the cooling unit 300 can also realize oil liquid cooling in a wind cooling mode.

[0047] Optionally, the proportional speed regulating valve 220 can also be a throttle valve, a multi-way valve and the like.

[0048] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 The oil liquid monitoring assembly 230 comprises a temperature monitoring device 231, a pressure monitoring device 232 and a flow monitoring device 233, specifically, the temperature monitoring device 231 is used for monitoring the oil liquid temperature in the circulating pipeline 200a; the pressure monitoring device 232 is used for monitoring the oil liquid pressure in the circulating pipeline 200a; and the flow monitoring device 233 is used for monitoring the oil liquid flow in the circulating pipeline 200a.

[0049] Through the integration of the temperature monitoring device 231, the pressure monitoring device 232 and the flow monitoring device 233, the oil liquid monitoring assembly 230 can improve the monitoring precision of the oil liquid state, is helpful for finding and processing abnormal changes of the oil liquid state in time, and ensures the normal operation of the hydraulic system by monitoring the key parameters such as the temperature, the pressure and the flow of the oil liquid in real time, and ensures the work efficiency.

[0050] Optionally, in combination with Figure 1In some embodiments, in combination with the above,

[0051] In some embodiments, in combination with the above, Figure 1 The oil monitoring assembly 230 further comprises a water content monitoring device 234 arranged on the circulating pipeline 200a for monitoring the water content in the oil in the circulating pipeline 200a.

[0052] The water content monitoring device 234 is mainly used to monitor the water content of the oil in the circulating pipeline 200a. Excessive water content may cause problems such as oil emulsification, accelerated oxidation, and reduced lubrication performance, thereby affecting the performance and service life of the equipment. By adding the water content monitoring device 234, the oil monitoring system can achieve comprehensive and accurate monitoring of the state of the oil.

[0053] In some embodiments, in combination with the above, Figure 1 The oil monitoring assembly 230 further comprises a contamination monitoring device 235 arranged on the circulating pipeline 200a for monitoring the contamination of the oil in the circulating pipeline 200a. The arrangement of the contamination monitoring device 235 improves the comprehensiveness of the oil monitoring system in monitoring the state of the oil, and improves the reliability of the hydraulic system.

[0054] In some embodiments, in combination with the above, Figure 1 The monitoring unit 200 further comprises an overflow valve 240, the inlet of the overflow valve 240 is connected with the circulating pipeline 200a, and the outlet of the overflow valve 240 is connected with the oil storage device 100. The overflow valve 240 is used to adjust the pressure in the circulating pipeline 200a. In this way, the pressure in the circulating pipeline 200a can be controlled and adjusted to ensure that the oil circulates within a safe pressure range.

[0055] In some embodiments, in combination with the above, Figure 1 The monitoring unit 200 further comprises a one-way valve 250 arranged on the circulating pipeline 200a. The one-way valve 250 is arranged on the downstream side of the first drive pump 210 to ensure the one-way flow of the oil in the circulating pipeline 200a, prevent backflow and mixing of the oil, and thus protect the stable operation of the hydraulic system.

[0056] In some embodiments, in combination with the above, Figure 1 The part of the cooling pipeline 330 located in the oil storage cavity is formed into a cooling coil 331. For example, the cooling coil 331 can be arranged in a stacked or wavy manner. The cooling coil 331 increases the contact area with the oil in the oil storage cavity and improves the heat exchange efficiency. When the cooling medium (such as cooling water or refrigerant) flows in the coil, it can absorb the heat in the oil and carry it away, thereby assisting the oil cooling.

[0057] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 1 The heating unit 400 comprises a first heating member 410 and a second heating member 420, the heating power of the first heating member 410 and the second heating member 420 is different, and the first heating member 410 and the second heating member 420 are configured to work independently of each other.

[0058] Optionally, the heating power of the first heating member 410 is greater than the heating power of the second heating member 420.

[0059] For example, when the monitoring device monitors that the oil temperature is lower than the preset value by more than 3℃, the first heating member 410 and the second heating member 420 are turned on to heat the oil, realizing high heating power heating; when the oil temperature is lower than the preset value by 0-3℃, the first heating member 410 is turned off and only the second heating member 420 is left to heat the oil, realizing low heating power heating. The design of the first heating member 410 and the second heating member 420 improves the accuracy and flexibility of temperature control.

[0060] Optionally, in combination Figure 1 The cooling coil 331 is arranged between the first heating member 410 and the second heating member 420. Further, the first heating member 410 and the second heating member 420 are arranged in sequence along the flow direction of the oil.

[0061] When the oil flows through the first heating member 410, the temperature will rise, then the oil flows through the cooling coil 331, the cooling liquid in the cooling coil 331 exchanges heat to reduce the temperature, finally, the oil passes through the second heating member 420 for fine adjustment to reach or approach the target temperature. Accurate adjustment of the oil temperature is realized, avoiding overheating or overcooling, and the temperature stability of the hydraulic system is improved, making the temperature change of the oil in the flow process more stable. By arranging the cooling coil 331 between the heating members, the efficiency of the hydraulic system is improved.

[0062] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 1 The oil monitoring system further comprises a control device, the control device is in communication connection with the monitoring unit 200, the cooling unit 300 and the heating unit 400 respectively, and the control device is configured to control the operating state of the cooling unit 300 and the heating unit 400 according to the monitoring result of the monitoring unit 200.

[0063] By communicating with the monitoring unit 200, cooling unit 300, and heating unit 400 respectively, the control device can receive monitoring data from the monitoring unit 200. Through data processing and analysis, the control device determines whether the oil condition is within the normal range. According to a preset program, the control device can adjust the operating status of the cooling unit 300 and heating unit 400 to regulate the oil temperature, thus achieving automation and intelligence in the oil monitoring system.

[0064] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 The oil monitoring system also includes an air filter 500 and / or an alarm device 600. The air filter 500 is located in the oil storage device 100. The air filter 500 is used to balance the air pressure inside and outside the oil storage device 100, prevent oil leakage or contamination caused by air pressure differences, and also ensure the cleanliness of the flowing air to ensure the cleanliness of the oil.

[0065] An alarm device 600 is installed in the oil storage device 100. The alarm device 600 is configured to issue an alarm when the monitoring unit 200 detects that the oil temperature exceeds a preset value. For example, when the monitoring device detects that the oil temperature is more than 5°C higher than the preset value, the alarm device 600 will issue an alarm to remind the operator to manually adjust the oil temperature to prevent equipment failure or safety accidents caused by excessively high oil temperature.
