[0032] Based on the setting of the monitoring unit, the following advantages are achieved:
[0033] The liquid level meter 9 is installed on the side of the expansion oil can 8, providing an intuitive oil level display. The operator can directly observe the change of oil level through the liquid level meter, ensuring that the oil level is within the normal range.
[0034] The liquid level sensor 11 is installed on the top surface of the expansion oil can 8, used for real-time monitoring of the oil level and providing accurate oil level data. This dual monitoring method can verify each other, improving the reliability of oil level monitoring and avoiding errors or failures that may occur due to single monitoring means.
[0035] Liquid level sensor 11: can be connected with automatic control system, realize real-time monitoring and remote alarm of oil level. When the oil level is lower or higher than the set value, the system can automatically trigger an alarm to remind the operator to take timely measures to avoid damage to the equipment due to abnormal oil level.
[0036] Through the liquid level sensor 11, automatic oil filling or oil draining operation can be realized, further improving the degree of automation of the equipment, reducing manual intervention, and improving work efficiency.

[0044] The expansion oil can 8 is made of transparent material and cooperates with the liquid level gauge 9 to realize double oil level display.
[0045] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:
[0046] 1. Oil level monitoring principle
[0047] The liquid level gauge 9 is installed on the side of the expansion oil can 8 and directly displays the oil level through the transparent expansion oil can. The operator can directly observe the change of the oil level to ensure that the oil level is within the normal range.

[0049] 2. Oil level change and compensation
[0050] The expansion oil can 8 is made of transparent material and is used not only for oil level display but also for oil level change compensation. Due to changes in oil temperature or fluctuations in oil volume during equipment operation, the expansion oil can 8 can accommodate excess oil to prevent oil from overflowing.
[0051] The oil pipe 7 connects the expansion oil can 8 and the planetary reducer 2 to ensure the free flow of oil between them. When the oil level changes, the oil can be compensated between the expansion oil can 8 and the planetary reducer 2 through the oil pipe 7.
[0052] 3. Maintenance reminder function

The status sensor 12 can be a Hall sensor or a proximity switch, which detects the action when the drain plug 6 is disassembled and triggers a maintenance reminder signal.
[0054] Maintenance reminder: when the status sensor 12 detects that the drain plug 6 is disassembled, the system will issue a maintenance reminder signal to remind the operator to check and reinstall the drain plug 6 in time, avoiding the problem of oil leakage caused by the drain plug not being tightened.
[0055] 4. Automation and remote monitoring
[0056] Liquid level sensor 11: connected with the automatic control system, realizing real-time monitoring and remote alarm of oil level. When the oil level is lower or higher than the set value, the system can automatically trigger an alarm and notify the operator through the remote monitoring system.
[0057] Automatic operation: through the liquid level sensor 11, automatic oil filling or oil draining operation can also be realized. For example, when the oil level is lower than the set value, the system can automatically start the oil pump to supplement the oil; when the oil level is higher than the set value, the oil draining device can be automatically started to drain the excess oil.
[0058] The overall working process of the utility model is as follows:
[0059] Initial state: when the equipment starts, the liquid level sensor 11 and the liquid level meter 9 monitor the oil level in the expansion oil canister 8 respectively, and transmit the data to the control system.
[0060] Running monitoring: during the operation of the equipment, the liquid level sensor 11 monitors the change of the oil level in real time, and triggers an alarm and notifies the operator when the oil level is lower or higher than the set value.
[0061] Oil level compensation: when the oil level changes, the oil flows between the expansion oil canister 8 and the planetary reducer 2 through the oil pipe 7, realizing automatic compensation of the oil level.
[0062] Maintenance reminder: when the drain plug 6 is disassembled, the status sensor 12 detects the action and triggers a maintenance reminder signal to remind the operator to check and reinstall the drain plug 6 in time.
[0063] Automatic operation: the system can automatically control the oil filling or oil draining device according to the data of the liquid level sensor 11, ensuring that the oil level always remains within the normal range. The utility model can realize real-time monitoring, automatic compensation and maintenance reminder of the oil level of the planetary reducer for horizontal shaft mixer, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the equipment operation, prolonging the service life of the equipment and reducing the maintenance cost.
