It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without any creative efforts are within the scope of the present application.

[0030] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicative of the terms such as center, upper, lower, left, right, vertical, horizontal, inside, outside is the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is merely for the convenience of the description and the simplified description of the present application, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to has a specific orientation and is constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of the present application. Moreover, the terms first, second, and third are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the terms installed, linked, and connected are to be understood broadly, unless otherwise clearly stipulated and defined, and may be, for example, fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally connected; mechanically connected or electrically connected; directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and may be internal communication between the two elements. The specific meanings of the above terms in the present application may be understood by those skilled in the art based on a particular case.

[0032] Further, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not constitute a conflict with each other.

[0033] A high-speed train gearbox sensing device provided by the present application, as shown in FIG. 1, comprises a housing 10, a piezoelectric sensor, a shielding case 1, and a temperature sensor.

[0034] The housing 10 is disposed on the high-speed train gearbox. The piezoelectric sensor is fixedly disposed in the housing 10, and with vibration of the high-speed gearbox, converting mechanical energy generated by the vibration into electric energy using piezoelectric effect, and transmitting a signal to a central control system. The piezoelectric sensor is a piezoelectric ceramic 5. The high-speed train gearbox sensing device further comprises a balancing weight 6 fixedly coupled to the piezoelectric ceramic 5 and vibrating in synchronization with the piezoelectric ceramic 5, for amplifying the signal intensity generated by the piezoelectric effect. The above sensing device is installed to the high-speed train gearbox, for collecting vibration information using the piezoelectric sensor, so as to enable monitoring of gearbox vibration. At the same time, in order to ensure the normal operation of the sensor, the design with high-pressure resistance and anti-electromagnetic interference in structure is adopted to prolong the service life of the sensor, so as to achieve the purpose of real-time online monitoring whether the gearbox is in a good state.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 2, the shielding case 1 is disposed outside the piezoelectric sensor for shielding electromagnetic interference from the piezoelectric sensor. A circuit board 2 is disposed in the shielding case 1; the circuit board 2 is connected with the piezoelectric sensor for processing signals of the piezoelectric sensor; the shielding case 1 comprises an upper layer for shielding electromagnetic interference of the housing 10 from the circuit board 2 and a lower layer for protecting and supporting the circuit board 2. The housing 10 and the shielding case 1 have a pouring sealant 3 filled there between, for fixing and insulating the shielding case 1. The housing 10 has an insulating spacer 4 disposed at a bottom thereof, and the shielding case 1 is disposed above the insulating spacer 4. The piezoelectric sensor is isolated and insulated from the housing 10 by the insulating spacer 4, shielding case 1, and pouring sealant 3, so that the piezoelectric sensor may meet requirements of high pressure resistance with AC2500V/Hz and 1 min.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 3, a temperature sensor is further provided on an exterior of the housing 10. The temperature sensor is a temperature probe 7 extending into the high-speed train gearbox. The temperature probe 7 comprises a casing provided with a Pt100 platinum thermal resistor 8, which is connected to the central control system. The casing is filled with a thermal conductive paste 9. Two sets of Pt100 platinum resistance elements are placed in the probe, which is then injected the high-temperature resistant thermal conductive paste 9 therein to complete encapsulation. Operating temperature of the gearbox may be sensed in real time through subsequent data processing, i.e. using the indexing characteristic table of the platinum resistance. The shielding case 1, an insulating sheet, and the pouring sealant 3 are used to isolate and insulate a core subassembly of the piezoelectric sensor from an external structure, through the temperature probe 7 combined with the piezoelectric accelerometer, so as to design a high voltage resistance vibration and temperature integrated sensor structure capable of simultaneously monitoring vibration state and temperature state of the gear box. Through a reasonable structure layout, i.e. the temperature sensor adopts a probe type structure, and the acceleration sensor adopts a square sealing structure, the two sensors are arranged separately to meet their respective operating temperature ranges, reducing the temperature resistance requirement of the piezoelectric acceleration sensor, so that the two sensors have good independence and strong anti-interference ability, which improves the precision of signal acquisition.

Other variations or modifications of the various forms may be made by those skilled in the art in view of the above description. There is no need and no way to present all of the embodiments. The obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection created by the present application.
