Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic system condition monitoring technology, and in particular to an online hydraulic oil monitoring system. Background Technology
[0002] During the lifecycle of machinery, normal hydraulic oil often deteriorates and fails due to factors such as the introduction of rainwater, foreign matter intrusion, oxidation, mixing of different oil types, and wear debris from actuators. This exacerbates wear and corrosion in the machinery, increasing the risk of accidents in the hydraulic system. Currently, the main method for monitoring hydraulic oil quality is to periodically take oil samples and send them to professional oil testing institutions for analysis. While this method ensures accuracy, it has several drawbacks: the sampling process involves a significant amount of human intervention, compromising its authenticity; the monitoring process is cumbersome and time-consuming, making real-time monitoring impossible; and during monitoring, each testing method often only targets one or a few indicators of the hydraulic oil, making it difficult to comprehensively assess the overall quality of the hydraulic oil.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an online hydraulic oil monitoring system is provided for detecting the hydraulic oil in the equipment to be monitored, including:
[0021] The quality monitoring unit is configured to monitor the quality of the hydraulic oil.
[0022] The main control unit is configured to receive the monitoring results from the hydraulic oil quality monitoring module and determine the quality of the hydraulic oil based on the monitoring results.
[0023] Specifically, the main control unit includes: an information data comparison module, configured to determine the quality of hydraulic oil based on monitoring results; and a data transmission module, configured to receive the monitoring results from the quality monitoring unit and transmit the monitoring results to the information data comparison module.
[0024] Specifically, the aforementioned main control unit will compare the acquired monitoring results with preset standards to determine the quality of the hydraulic oil.
[0025] The visualization unit is configured to display the judgment results of the hydraulic oil quality.
[0026] This system adopts a modular distributed architecture design, enabling real-time data interaction between units through an industrial bus protocol. The quality monitoring unit includes a multi-sensor fusion array, with each sensor independently configured with a sampling channel, forming a parallel detection network to ensure the independence of different parameter detections. The visualization unit integrates a human-machine interface, supporting multi-dimensional data visualization. The system constructs a closed-loop feedback mechanism, achieving dynamic tracking of hydraulic oil quality through a monitoring-analysis-display cyclical working mode. Each unit employs redundant power supply and communication link design to ensure continuous operational reliability under critical operating conditions.
[0027] The monitoring system also includes an alarm unit, which is configured to trigger an alarm signal based on the quality of the hydraulic oil in the main control unit.
[0028] Specifically, the alarm unit can be integrated with an acoustic alarm device or an optical alarm device in actual use.
[0029] The monitoring system also includes an abnormal state recording unit, which is configured to record the judgment results of abnormal hydraulic oil quality.
[0030] Specifically, the quality monitoring unit includes a water level sensor, a viscosity sensor, and a temperature sensor; the water level sensor monitors the water content of the hydraulic oil, the viscosity sensor monitors the viscosity of the hydraulic oil, and the temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the hydraulic oil. The quality monitoring unit also includes a contamination sensor and a metal abrasive detector; the contamination sensor monitors the contamination level of the hydraulic oil, and the metal abrasive detector monitors the concentration of metal abrasive particles in the hydraulic oil.
[0031] Specifically, moisture detection can be performed using the principle of dielectric constant change, analyzing the polarization characteristics of oil through radio frequency signals; viscosity detection can be performed using the vibration damping method, inverting the fluid viscosity coefficient through the amplitude attenuation characteristics of the resonator; contamination detection can be based on the principle of optical scattering, analyzing the contamination level through the light intensity attenuation spectrum of particulate matter; and metal abrasive particle detection can integrate electromagnetic induction and microscopic imaging dual modes, with ferromagnetic particles detected by changes in magnetic flux and non-ferrous metal particles identified by morphological features.
[0032] Specifically, the aforementioned sensor array employs a spatially staggered layout design to eliminate detection interference. Each sensor is equipped with a self-calibration module to perform baseline correction periodically. The system establishes a sensor health assessment model and uses output signal stability analysis to predict faults. The detection unit housing features a hydrodynamically optimized structure to prevent oil turbulence from affecting detection accuracy.

[0034] Specifically, the oil extraction unit includes a hydraulic oil pipe, a ball valve, and a gear pump. The input end of the gear pump is connected to the return oil pipe via the hydraulic oil pipe, and the output end of the gear pump is connected to the quality monitoring unit. The ball valve is located on the hydraulic oil pipe. The gear pump guides the hydraulic oil from the return oil pipe to the oil storage tank via the hydraulic oil pipe. The ball valve seals the hydraulic oil pipe to prevent hydraulic oil leakage during replacement if the equipment is damaged later.
[0035] Specifically, the quality monitoring unit also includes an oil storage tank and a solenoid valve. The oil storage tank is used to store the hydraulic oil delivered by the oil extraction unit. The solenoid valve is connected to the output end of the oil storage tank. The oil storage tank can hold the hydraulic oil to be tested. When the solenoid valve is opened, the hydraulic oil in the oil storage tank can be discharged.
[0036] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: This utility model can monitor the quality of hydraulic oil online, and the monitoring content includes: oil viscosity monitoring, moisture monitoring, contamination monitoring, abrasive particle monitoring, etc. By monitoring the above content online, the quality of hydraulic oil can be effectively, in real time, and from multiple perspectives, thereby analyzing the current status of the hydraulic oil and reducing hydraulic system failures caused by hydraulic oil.
[0037] Compared with existing technologies, this system can monitor hydraulic oil quality data in real time, perform comparative analysis, and store and upload the results of each collection and analysis to form historical data. This facilitates the analysis of the causes of changes in oil quality and proposes targeted improvement measures, greatly improving the accuracy, timeliness, and effectiveness of data analysis. It also improves equipment operating efficiency and production capacity, and reduces the total cost of equipment maintenance and lubrication.
