Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an intelligent thin oil lubrication system for gearbox testing. Background Technology

[0002] Gearboxes are crucial components in mechanical transmissions and are widely used in various types of machinery. For gearbox manufacturers, the variety and power of gearboxes are increasing. Choosing a lubrication testing system with a wide adjustable flow range undoubtedly reduces the system's footprint and operating costs. Gearbox lubrication testing collects data such as pressure, flow rate, and temperature, which is essential for determining the required lubrication parameters, ensuring normal operation, and extending the gearbox's service life. Existing intelligent thin oil lubrication systems for gearbox testing have shortcomings in oil temperature control and emergency oil supply, requiring further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent thin oil lubrication system for gearbox testing that achieves stable oil pressure and has multiple pump control systems.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0005] An intelligent thin oil lubrication system for gearbox testing with multiple pump control systems includes an oil tank, characterized in that: the oil tank is connected to multiple sets of oil supply systems and oil return systems; each oil supply system has two parallel oil supply pumps, one in use and one on standby, with a filter connected after the oil supply pump, a water cooler connected after the filter, and an oil circuit leading to the oil supply port of the reducer after the water cooler; a mixing valve is provided at the outlet end of the water cooler, and the mixing valve is connected to the inlet end of the water cooler through a mixing oil circuit; each oil return system includes two parallel oil return pumps, the inlet of which is connected to an oil circuit from the oil outlet of the reducer, a filter connected after the oil return pump, and an oil return circuit leading to the oil tank after the filter; an oil return temperature sensor is provided on the oil circuit from the oil outlet of the reducer; a spare high-level oil tank is provided above the reducer, and the high-level oil tank is connected to the oil supply port of the reducer through a pneumatic valve.

[0006] A temperature sensor is installed at the outlet of the water cooler.

[0007] This utility model's lubrication system employs a water-cooling system. To adapt to changes in the factory's water-cooling environment, precise control of the lubricating oil temperature is achieved through a closed-loop control system using an oil supply temperature sensor to detect the supply temperature and a closed-loop control system using a two-way regulating valve to control the cooling water flow or a closed-loop control system using a three-way mixing valve to control the ratio of hot and cold media. The lubrication system is also equipped with a return oil temperature detection sensor. By detecting the supply oil temperature, supply oil flow rate, and return oil temperature, the heat generation power of the gearbox can be estimated.

[0008] The lubrication system is equipped with an emergency oil supply tank and UPS power supply. In the event of a failure of the oil supply pump or a sudden power outage during testing, the pneumatic valve of the high-level oil tank can ensure operation, maintaining oil supply and lubrication during the idle period of the main unit, thus protecting the main unit.
