Description

TARIFF A SYSTEM FOR OIL ANALYSIS IN VEHICLES. TECHNICAL FIELD Maintaining oil levels in internal combustion engines in accordance with standards is of great importance. Over time, the contamination of the oil with foreign substances, primarily metal particles, poses significant problems for equipment health. Detecting and reporting such contamination is crucial for performing necessary predictive maintenance procedures, including oil changes, on the vehicle. This invention offers a comprehensive solution for this detection and communication. A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The subject of the invention relates to a system consisting of five main elements: an oil analysis sensor, a sensor control computer, a logistics information system, a communication interface, and a main unit logistics information system, and a method operating on this system. The aforementioned oil analysis sensor consists of an analyte machine, an oil substrate bioreceptor, and a MEMS sensor. This enables the automatic detection and reporting of any contamination in the oil. STATE OF THE ART Although some solutions have been identified in the known state of the art, no solution considered similar has been found. (The following documents are attached;) US7541004, a US patent application, describes a MEMS sensor for oil analysis and a processor and communication element to which this sensor is connected. However, since it is not possible to take measurements in bilge water alone with this type of sensor, it needs to be installed inside the oil reservoir (e.g., crankcase). Because taking measurements from such high-pressure and high-temperature environments is difficult and almost impossible, the technical solution described does not effectively solve the technical problem. US patent application number US20100000863 describes a method for measuring oil properties using a dielectric sensor. However, it was not considered similar because other features of the invention were not described. The US patent application numbered US20100109686 describes a sensor system that measures metal degradation and wear. According to this, the aim is to determine the oil condition based on dielectric properties through a series of electromechanical measurements on samples taken from the structure and subsequent processes based on these measurements. However, this is not considered sufficient for part contamination analysis and therefore has not been evaluated similarly. In the application for the DE602004020954 model, the method of measuring the lubrication coefficient from a sample taken from the oil was taught. Accordingly, the determination of the parameters and the production of a lubrication coefficient through a calculation on these parameters, and the evaluation of the oil condition accordingly, were taken as the basis. However, since it is not possible to take continuous measurements from the oil, only intermittent measurements can be made. Furthermore, since the results obtained cannot be reported and read, it has not been evaluated similarly. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In practice, oil changes are not done at specific intervals, and therefore the following problems arise: Currently used in air, land and sea platforms, the inability to determine the presence of metals in oil analyses performed with Tan viscometers, - Problems encountered with the equipment used for oil analysis and the detection of harmful metals on air, land and sea platforms, including the lack of modularity and transportation issues, due to the very large devices currently in use that rely on arc detection to trace their spectral signatures. - Arc welding, file burning, comb spectrum trace, used for the search for metals, oil analysis devices, file, inability to transport to end units, engine parts of air, land and sea platform vehicles, file, active analysis, Ihmamas, the loss of road, time and cost arising from the transmission of the engines of the relevant vehicles to the main centers. - Currently, the oil analysis devices used are too large and not mobile, making them impossible to transport to the units; therefore, the oil analysis required to determine the engine parts and / or engine replacement times of air, land, and sea platform vehicles in the relevant units results in losses in terms of travel, time, and cost due to the need to collect samples, send them to analysis centers, and wait for the analysis results. - In the field units, air, land, and sea platforms, engine parts, and wear and tear were not inspected, therefore, accidents that could occur during vehicle operation and cause damage to personnel safety were prevented. The product described in this invention has been developed to overcome these challenges and, when used, provides the following benefits: - In air, land and sea platforms, it is possible to easily determine engine wear information that cannot be detected by oil analyses performed with the viscometer currently used. - For air, land, and sea platforms, the current method of analyzing oil and detecting corrosion metals involves burning the oil and finding its trace in the spectrum. However, the very large, non-modular devices used for this purpose, and the problems encountered in their transportation, necessitate a modular, compact system. - Arc welding, comb spectrum trace, used for the analysis of sought-after metals, oil analysis can be performed in end units with a modular small device that can be used instead of a tan oil analyzer, and the loss of travel, time and cost required for analysis is eliminated. - Due to the inability to transport non-modular oil analysis devices to 11 different units, the loss of travel, time, and cost in the work to be done to determine the engine parts and engine replacement times of air, land, and sea platform vehicles in the relevant units will be reduced. - In field units, the wear and tear on engine parts in air, land, and sea platforms should be examined in a short period of time to prevent damage to the vehicle caused by wear and tear, thus ensuring the safety of personnel and vehicles. The product subject to the invention includes a sensor system (1), a unit logistics oil analysis information system (2), a communication system and a main unit logistics information system. The sensor system (1) includes a bioreceptor, analyte, engine oil substrate and MEMS sensor. When engine oil drops are placed on the bioreceptor, it interacts with the oil and, if there is a worn metal, it interacts magnetically to produce a physicochemical signal. The MEMS sensor converts the biological and magnetic signals generated after the interaction of the bioreceptor and magnetic into an electrical signal and transmits it to the sensor control computer. In this way, worn oil information is produced. In the sensor system (1), information about the wear metal and its quantity is produced. The relevant information is transmitted from the sensor system (1) to the unit logistics oil analysis information system (2). In the unit logistics oil analysis information system (2), information about which wear metal is in the oil and its quantity is reported in tabular form. In the unit logistics oil analysis information system (2), graphs and comparison tables are created by comparing the measurement values ​​with the oil wear metal limits tables determined for NATO and International / air, land and sea platforms and are transmitted to the main unit logistics information system (4) via the communication interface (3). The communication interface (3) is a communication channel with different technologies.Using the engine oil wear metals comparison table and graph information from the unit logistics oil analysis information system (2) in the main unit logistics information system (4), the relevant inventory vehicle engine part and / or engine replacement information is converted into maintenance life tables and main material / part information updates are made. In this way, the level of contamination in the oil can be measured and reported directly. Figure -1 - diagram 3E showing the working method of the product subject to the invention. The explanations of the reference symbols used in the drawing given in the annex to the specification are as follows; 1- Sensor system: When a drop of engine oil is placed in the bioreceptor, it interacts with the oil and, if there is wear metal present, it interacts magnetically, producing a physicochemical signal. Within the MEMS, the biological and magnetic signals resulting from the interaction between the bioreceptor and the magnetic field are converted into electrical signals, and the sensor control computer generates information about the wear metal and its quantity. 2- Union Logistics Oil Analysis Information System: The sensor system reports which excess metal is in the oil and its quantity in tabular form and compares the measurement values ​​with the oil excess metal limits tables determined for NATO and International / air, land and sea platforms, and graphs and comparison tables are created. 3- Communication interface: The resulting limit comparison graph information is transmitted from the military communication wired and / or wireless communication interface to the main unit logistics information system. 4- Main Unit Logistics Information System: Using information from sub-unit communication interfaces regarding engine oil, metal components, comparison tables and graphs for military air, land, and sea platforms, this information is converted into relevant inventory vehicle, engine part and / or engine replacement information, and maintenance life cycle charts and main material / part information are updated.
