[0020] The gear pump body is connected to the main oil circuit of the hydraulic station via a flange, and the variable frequency motor power supply is connected to industrial three-phase power. The flow sensor is installed on the straight section of the outlet pipeline, and the pressure sensor is connected to the pressure measurement interface of the outlet and inlet respectively. The digital display module is fixed on the control cabinet panel of the hydraulic station and connected to the factory SCADA system via an RJ45 interface. The target flow rate is set to 120 L / min, the upper limit of pressure is 20 MPa, and the over-temperature threshold is 85℃ via the touch screen.
[0021] After one month of operation, the temperature sensor detected that the temperature in the gear meshing area was consistently higher than 80°C. The MCU, combined with vibration data analysis, indicated "insufficient bearing lubrication." After maintenance personnel added grease, the temperature returned to normal. Historical data showed that the average fault response time was reduced from 2 hours in the original system to 15 minutes.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model proposes: an adjustable gear pump, comprising: a gear pump body, a variable frequency motor, a flow sensor, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, an MCU control unit, and a digital display module;
[0023] Gear pump body: Composed of a housing, driving gear, driven gear, and axial end cover; Variable frequency motor: Coaxially connected to the driving gear via a coupling, installed at the input end of the gear pump body; Flow sensor: A non-invasive electromagnetic sensor embedded in the inner wall of the outlet pipe of the gear pump body, 10-15cm away from the outlet flange face; Pressure sensors: Includes a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor, respectively located on the outlet and inlet pipes of the gear pump body; Temperature sensor: Installed on the outside of the gear meshing area of the gear pump body housing, fixed by threads and spaced 2-3mm from the inner wall of the gear cavity; MCU control unit: Integrated in the shockproof control box on the top of the gear pump body, connected to the sensors via shielded cables; Digital display module: Embedded on the outer surface of the gear pump body housing, located directly in front of the operator's line of sight, including an LCD touch screen and status indicator lights.
[0024] Working principle:
[0025] Upon power-on, the MCU control unit self-checks whether the sensor signals are normal, and the digital display module shows the initialization interface; target flow rate, pressure threshold, and temperature alarm value can be set via touch screen or mobile APP.
[0026] The variable frequency motor drives the drive gear to rotate, and the gear pump begins to deliver fluid.
[0027] Sensors collect data in real time:
[0028] Flow sensor: detects outlet flow rate;
[0029] Pressure sensor: Monitors the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet;
[0030] Temperature sensor: Reads the temperature in the gear meshing area;
[0031] The intelligent gear pump supports manual adjustment of the motor speed and offers two flexible operating modes:
[0032] 1. Users set the target flow rate value via the touch screen, and the MCU control unit automatically calculates the required speed based on the PID algorithm to drive the variable frequency motor to achieve the target flow rate;
[0033] 2. When the motor speed value is directly input on the touch screen, the MCU control unit pauses the PID closed-loop control, the variable frequency motor runs at the set speed, and the screen displays the real-time flow and pressure simultaneously;
[0034] Exception handling:
[0035] Minor anomalies (such as temperature exceeding limits): The digital display module flashes an alarm icon, and the MCU controls the motor to reduce its speed.
[0036] Serious malfunction (such as seal failure): Immediately cut off the motor power, push a stop command to the APP, and record the fault code;
[0037] The breakthroughs in precision, reliability, and intelligence of this gear pump make it suitable for the upgrading needs of hydraulic machinery, petrochemicals, marine power and other fields, and it has significant market competitiveness.
