Abstract

The temperature, stress, vibration, and other signals serve as crucial parameters assessing and evaluating the operational status and performance of gears. Real-time multidimensional signal monitoring is crucial to ensuring the safe operation of gear equipment. A gear multi-dimensional signal testing system was developed based on wireless relay Wi-Fi network, enabling real-time signal transmission without modifying the gearbox structure. The integrated design allows real-time acquisition of gear temperature, stress, and vibration signals. This system has been validated through gear performance experiments. The temperature, stress, and vibration test range of the testing device are 0 to 150 °C, 0 to 20000 με (microstrain), and ±40 g, respectively. The testing system on the FZG gear test rig effectively captures changes in multi-dimensional gear signals under different load stages, revealing patterns in signal characteristics and eventual failure throughout service. Compared to traditional disassembly-based adhesive judgment methods, testing efficiency has increased by 50%.
