AI Technical Summary
Existing intelligent thin oil lubrication systems for gearbox testing have shortcomings in controlling oil temperature and oil pressure, making it difficult to achieve stable lubrication performance.
The system employs a dual-use, one-standby oil supply and return pump design, combined with a pump control system consisting of a variable frequency motor and a fixed displacement oil pump. The system uses a flow sensor to detect real-time flow and controls the speed of the variable frequency motor in a closed loop to achieve precise flow regulation. At the same time, a water cooling system and a temperature sensor are used to control the cooling water volume or the ratio of hot and cold media in a closed loop to ensure stable oil temperature.
It achieves stable control of oil temperature and oil pressure, improves lubrication performance, adapts to changes in water-cooling environments in different factories, and enhances the applicability and precision of the lubrication system.

Abstract
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 controlling oil temperature and pressure, 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 temperature and pressure, and improves lubrication performance.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is:
[0005] An intelligent thin oil lubrication system for gearbox testing includes an oil tank, characterized in that: the oil tank is connected to multiple 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 passage leading to the reducer's oil supply port connected after the water cooler; an oil supply pressure transmitter is installed on the oil passage leading to the reducer's oil supply port, and a mixing valve is installed at the outlet end of the water cooler, the mixing valve being connected to the inlet end of the water cooler through a mixing oil passage; each oil return system includes two parallel oil return pumps, the inlet of which is connected to an oil passage from the reducer's oil outlet, a filter connected after the oil return pump, and an oil return passage leading to the oil tank connected after the filter.
[0006] A temperature sensor is installed at the outlet of the water cooler.
[0007] This utility model's lubrication system employs a pump control system composed of a variable frequency motor and a fixed displacement oil pump to achieve real-time adjustment of the test flow rate. A flow sensor detects the real-time flow rate, and closed-loop control of the variable frequency motor speed improves the accuracy of the oil supply flow. A single lubrication system can expand the flow regulation range by connecting multiple pump control systems in parallel. The lubrication system uses a water-cooling system. To adapt to changes in the factory's water-cooling environment, a supply oil temperature sensor detects the temperature, and a closed-loop control of a two-way regulating valve controls the cooling water flow, or a closed-loop control of a three-way mixing valve controls the ratio of hot and cold media to achieve precise control of the lubricating oil temperature.
