The magnetic poles typically employ a multi-pole pair design, and the magnetic field distribution is optimized using a Halbach array to make the air gap magnetic flux density waveform approach a sine wave. When the coupling drives the rotor to rotate, the permanent magnet magnetic field moves relative to the stator windings. The stator core uses laminated silicon steel to reduce eddy current losses, and the windings are connected in a three-phase star configuration. The number of effective conductors per phase is precisely designed based on the speed-voltage characteristics. The rotating magnetic field induces an electromotive force in the stator windings, following Faraday's law. Where N is the number of turns in the winding, B is the magnetic flux density, and A is the effective cross-sectional area;

The other ends of resistors R2 and R1 are the output terminals. Pins 3 and 4 of transformer T are both input terminals and are electrically connected to the generating end of the permanent magnet generator.
[0027] The overvoltage protection circuit includes resistor R3. One end of resistor R3 is electrically connected to the cathode of diode D5 and one end of resistor R4. The other end of resistor R4 is electrically connected to the base of transistor Q1. The emitter of transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the other end of resistor R3.

[0028] The magnetic sensing module includes a Hall sensor array, an array interface circuit, and an infrared temperature sensor;
[0029] The array interface circuit includes an electromagnetic coil L, one end of which is electrically connected to one end of a capacitor C3, the other end of which is electrically connected to one end of a resistor R9, the other end of which is grounded, the other end of which is electrically connected to the emitter of a transistor Q2, the emitter of which is electrically connected to the emitter of a transistor Q3, the base of which and the base of which are electrically connected to pin 3 of the same comparator U1, pins 1 and 2 of which are electrically connected to one end of a resistor R8 and one end of a resistor R7, respectively, and the other ends of which are electrically connected to the Hall sensor array.
[0030] The Hall sensor array has a four-quadrant layout, consisting of four sensors evenly distributed at 90° intervals. They are embedded in the coupling cover and maintain a 1-3mm air gap with the solenoid valve L. Each Hall sensor measures the tangential magnetic field component of the coupling magnetic ring to achieve radial detection.
[0031] An infrared temperature sensor is installed on the coupling to measure the surface temperature of the coupling in real time and detect abnormal temperature rise caused by increased friction.
[0032] Among them, the preferred infrared temperature sensor is the industrial-grade infrared temperature sensor with model number MLX90614ESF-DCI-000-TU, which detects temperature based on the blackbody radiation law and photoelectric detection technology; its specific detection principle is existing technology and will not be elaborated here.
[0033] This invention achieves self-powered operation through a permanent magnet generator and uses a four-quadrant Hall sensor array and an infrared temperature sensor for multi-parameter fusion and real-time monitoring. The monitored data is wirelessly transmitted to the PLC control system, allowing remote monitoring personnel to promptly obtain information on the wear status of the coupling. Compared with existing detection methods, its detection efficiency is significantly improved, thus achieving efficient, accurate, and automated monitoring of the wear status of industrial transmission systems.
[0034] Working principle: When the coupling rotates, it drives the permanent magnet generator rotor to rotate, generating three-phase alternating current through electromagnetic induction. This three-phase alternating current is input to a full-bridge rectifier circuit composed of diodes D1, D2, D3, and D4. After harmonic suppression by a π-type LC filter composed of capacitors C1 and C2, a pulsating direct current is output. The rectified direct current voltage is sampled by a voltage divider network composed of resistors R3 and R4, and the voltage division ratio is calculated. When the sampled voltage exceeds the reference value, diodes D5 and D6 form a 5.8V reference, and transistor Q1 enters the saturation conduction state. After transistor Q1 conducts, the following linkage effect occurs: the collector current of transistor Q1 forms a voltage drop through resistor R5, triggering the parallel diode D6 to conduct, thereby achieving the overvoltage protection effect.
[0035] Simultaneously, the output pulsating DC power supplies the Hall sensor array and the infrared temperature sensor. The Hall sensor array, distributed in four quadrants, monitors the radial clearance change of the coupling in real time through electromagnetic coupling, while the infrared temperature sensor detects the surface temperature rise. The signal is processed by comparator U1 and array interface circuit, and then transmitted to the PLC control system via wireless communication module, so that remote monitoring personnel can know the wear status of the coupling in a timely manner. When the clearance exceeds the threshold or the temperature is abnormal, the base bias voltage of transistor Q1 cuts off the collector-emitter path, and at the same time triggers the parallel diode D6 to conduct and discharge energy, realizing self-powered closed-loop monitoring of the wear status.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
