Figures 1-7 As shown, it comprises an upper shell 1, a lower shell 2 and a reducer body 3, the reducer body 3 is embedded between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 and the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are fixedly connected with each other, the input shaft and the output shaft of the reducer body 3 are respectively arranged at the two sides of the connecting part of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, the input shaft and the output shaft of the reducer body 3 are both sleeved with a bearing cover 8 which is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting part of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, the input shaft and the output shaft of the reducer body 3 are both arranged at the center of the bearing cover 8 corresponding to them, one end of the input shaft arranged outside the bearing cover 8 is connected with a power driving mechanism, and one end of the output shaft arranged outside the bearing cover 8 is connected with an executing mechanism.
[0024] The input shaft and the output shaft of the reducer body 3 are both sleeved with a fixing ring 4 which is fixedly installed on the side surface of the bearing cover 8, the top of the fixing ring 4 is fixedly installed with a displacement sensor 5 and the inside of the fixing ring 4 is provided with a vibration monitoring mechanism, the input shaft and the output shaft are both provided with the vibration monitoring mechanism which abuts against the outside of the input shaft and the output shaft of the reducer body 3.
[0025] The vibration monitoring mechanism comprises a rotating ring 9, a straight gear 10, an arc plate 11, a rolling wheel 12 and a spring 13, the rotating ring 9 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixing ring 4 and the inner surface of the rotating ring 9 is provided with meshing teeth around, the rolling wheel 12 is rotatably connected to one end of the arc plate 11 away from the straight gear 10 and the arc plate 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the straight gear 10, the number of the straight gears 10 is four and the four straight gears 10 are rotatably connected to the inside of the fixing ring 4 in the form of annular array, the four straight gears 10 are respectively meshed with the meshing teeth around the inner surface of the rotating ring 9, the rolling wheels 12 on the four arc plates 11 abut against the outside of the input shaft and the output shaft of the reducer body 3, when the input shaft or the output shaft rotates, it can drive the rolling wheels 12 around to rotate, when the rotation of the input shaft or the output shaft deviates from the shaft center, it will push the rolling wheel 12 and the arc plate 11 in the deviated direction, so that the rotating ring 9 will be driven to rotate in a small range through the corresponding straight gear 10 and the meshing teeth, and the displacement sensor 5 can monitor the movement of the rotating ring 9 and transmit the monitoring data to the control unit in real time.
[0026] The four arc-shaped plates 11 are fixedly connected with springs 13 near one side of the inner surface of the fixed ring 4, the surface of the rotating ring 9 is provided with a through slot 14 corresponding to each spring 13, and the four springs 13 are respectively arranged in the through slots 14 corresponding to the springs 13, so that the springs 13 do not affect the movement of the rotating ring 9. The ends of the four springs 13 away from the arc-shaped plates 11 are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the fixed ring 4, so as to provide elastic force to the arc-shaped plates 11 in the direction of the center of the fixed ring 4. The sensing end of the displacement sensor 5 is arranged in the inside of the fixed ring 4 and corresponds to the outer surface of the rotating ring 9. The springs 13 can push the four arc-shaped plates 11 around the fixed ring 4 to the center of the fixed ring 4, so that the rolling wheels 12 can be tightly arranged on the outside of the input shaft and the output shaft. The outer surface of the rotating ring 9 is fixedly connected with a push plate. The push plate is arranged in the side of the fixed ring 4 and can move in the side of the fixed ring 4. The installer can adjust the push plate clockwise. The rotating ring 9 can drive the four straight gears 10 to rotate clockwise through the meshing teeth, so as to make the four arc-shaped plates 11 open, adjust the inner diameter of the four rolling wheels 12, and facilitate the installation of the vibration monitoring mechanism on the outside of the rotating shaft with different diameters, so as to be applicable to rotating shafts with different diameters.
[0027] The upper surface of the upper shell 1 is fixedly provided with temperature sensors 6 for monitoring the temperature of the meshing parts of the reducer body 3. The temperature sensors 6 can be infrared temperature sensors, which can monitor the temperature of the meshing parts of the reducer body 3 without contact. The number of temperature sensors 6 is several, and the several temperature sensors 6 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the upper shell 1. The sensing ends of the several temperature sensors 6 are arranged in the inside of the upper shell 1 and correspond to the respective meshing parts in the reducer body 3. When the gears in the reducer body 3 are worn or the friction force is increased due to some reasons, the meshing parts will generate high heat during rotation due to the friction force, which is greatly different from the temperature of normal rotation. Therefore, by arranging the temperature sensors 6 to monitor the temperature of the meshing parts, the temperature change of the gear meshing parts can be known in time, so that the response can be made in time to prevent the reducer from being damaged more seriously.
[0028] A liquid level sensor 7 for monitoring the oil level is arranged on one side of the upper surface of the upper shell 1. The liquid level sensor 7 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the upper shell 1, and the detection end of the liquid level sensor 7 is arranged in the inner bottom of the lower shell 2. The liquid level sensor 7 can detect the content of lubricating oil in the reducer. When the content of lubricating oil is reduced to a set value, the liquid level sensor 7 can feedback the detection information to the control unit in time, and the control unit can control the sound and light alarm 15 to issue an alarm. The top end of the liquid level sensor 7 is provided with an alarm mechanism, which is a sound and light alarm 15, and the sound and light alarm 15 is fixedly installed on the top end of the temperature sensor 6.
[0029] Displacement sensor 5, temperature sensor 6, liquid level sensor 7, and audible and visual alarm 15 are all electrically connected to an external control unit. When displacement sensor 5 detects that the rotating ring 9 has an activity that exceeds the set range, or when one or more temperature sensors 6 detect an abnormal increase in temperature, or when liquid level sensor 7 detects that the oil level has dropped below the standard range, the control unit will control the audible and visual alarm 15 to issue an alarm. At the same time, the control unit can also be connected to the terminal device in the form of an electrical signal, so that the alarm information can be transmitted to the terminal device synchronously, making it convenient for monitoring personnel to know the alarm signal in time and take action.
[0030] In summary, the operating steps for this pumping unit reducer fault alarm device are as follows:
[0031] 1. When the fixed ring 4 and the vibration monitoring mechanism are installed on the input or output shaft of the reducer, the actuating plate can be pressed clockwise to make the rotating ring 9 drive the spur gears 10 and the arc plate 11 around it to rotate clockwise and open, which can expand the space between the four arc plates 11.
[0032] 2. Then, put the retaining ring 4 and the vibration monitoring mechanism on the outside of the input shaft or output shaft and make the retaining ring 4 abut against the side of the bearing cover 8 corresponding to the shaft body. Then release the actuating plate, and the arc plate 11 will make the rolling wheel 12 press against the surface of the shaft body under the elastic force of the spring 13.
[0033] 3. When the gears in the reducer are worn or otherwise reduced to a certain degree, or when the bearings are severely worn, the shaft will vibrate during rotation and cannot be accurately maintained on the same axis. When the shaft vibrates, it will push the rolling wheel 12 and the arc plate 11 on the corresponding side to rotate, which will drive the rotating ring 9 to produce a small amplitude reciprocating rotation through the spur gear 10. The displacement sensor 5 can monitor the movement of the rotating ring 9 in real time, thereby detecting the vibration of the shaft and making it easy to know the operating status of the reducer in a timely manner.
[0034] 4. When one or more temperature sensors 6 detect an abnormal increase in temperature, it indicates that the friction between the gears has increased, which will accelerate the wear and even cause damage to the reducer. When the level sensor 7 detects that the oil level has dropped below the standard range, it indicates that the lubricating oil in the reducer needs to be replenished. The control unit will control the audible and visual alarm 15 to issue an alarm.
[0035] The above description is only for illustrating the present utility model. It should be understood that the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications that conform to the concept of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
