Circumferential central authorities in above-mentioned ring portion 131 are formed with lubricating grease injection hole 131b.And, between the shaft end of the bottom surface of this ring portion 131 131c and axle 12a, disposing the thrust washer 16 that for example forms by synthetic resin, these bottom surfaces 131c and shaft end support this shaft end with the state that prevents Metal Contact.And, coaxial and around the central shaft of this 12a, form porose 12b with one heart with above-mentioned hole 131b on each 12a of above-mentioned cross axle 12, and in cross coupler 11, interconnect.The lubricating grease passage that the lubricating grease of the axle outer circumferential face of the lubricated above-mentioned roller 132 of this hole 12b formation and the rolling contact section of ring portion inner peripheral surface flows.
And, on above-mentioned hole 131b °, be equipped with removably and cover 14, thereby prevent by this hole 131b from above-mentioned rolling contact section to external leaks lubricating grease.Particularly, on this lid 14, have: flat bowl-shape assembly department 14a, it connects airtight to come airtight in fact this hole 131b with the inner peripheral surface that for example forms stair-stepping hole 131b; The supporting portion 14b of round bar shape, it is provided with and is inserted in the above-mentioned hole 12b of this side to extending axially of axle 12a from this bottom.
And, each 12a of above-mentioned cross axle 12 constitutes, internal configurations at its hole 12b has the included displacement transducer of shaft coupling monitoring device of the present invention 151,152,153,154, and the equivalent damage of peeling off, chap on the rolling surface of the above-mentioned roller 132 of the outer circumferential face that utilizes corresponding axle 12a is detected.That is, these each displacement transducers 151~154 are configured in the inside of corresponding axle 12a, and are configured for detecting the sensor of damage of the rolling surface of its 12a.
And, on displacement transducer 151,, be connected with the handset 1 that is installed in removably on the above-mentioned assembly department 14a by cable 17, thereby from the testing result of handset 1 to main frame wireless transmission displacement transducer 151 described later.
And, for the axle 12a of other three positions, be provided with and cover 14 (not shown), be connected to the handset 2,3 and 4 of displacement transducer 152,153 and 154 too, and send corresponding sensing result to main frame from each handset 2~4.
Specifically, as shown in Figure 3, displacement transducer 151 is that the sense of rotation with cross coupler 11 shown in the arrow R consistently is arranged at bearer ring 13 sides, and is configured on the direction parallel with this sense of rotation R and passes on the line at 12a center.And this displacement transducer 151 together shakes (coming back rotation) along with the relative axle 12a of bearer ring 13 shakes with this ring 13.Promptly, this displacement transducer 151, what form on the supporting portion 14b of relative bearer ring 13 removable above-mentioned lids 14 is provided with in the 14b1 of hole, utilizes the fixed unit of not shown support etc. to be fixed on this wall that hole 14b1 is set, and shakes as one man relative 12a with ring and shake.And, displacement transducer 151 is configured in the inside of the hole 12b of a 12a side to be fixed on the state that covers on 14, by the distance between the internal face 12b1 that detects the hole 12b shown in the double-head arrow L among itself and this figure, detect the diametric displacement of shaft 12a, and it as the relative displacement between axle 12a and the bearer ring 13, and is outputed to handset 1 with this testing signal (voltage signal).And, as shown in the drawing, because the above-mentioned center of hole 14b1 and the center generation off-centre of axis hole 12b of being provided with, so the testing signal of displacement transducer 151 becomes shaking and periodically variable sinusoidal waveform (detailed content aftermentioned) corresponding to bearer ring 13.
And, displacement transducer 151 has adopted for example displacement transducer of the magnetic type of eddy current type, sensor 151 is by the above-mentioned opening portion that hole 14b1 is set, skin section to above-mentioned internal face 12b1 is paid high frequency magnetic field, utilize internal coil to obtain the changing impedance that takes place by the foucault current that produces in this skin section, detect thus corresponding to ring and shake and the diametric displacement (relative displacement) of the above-mentioned axle 12a that changes.
And, displacement transducer 151, when being configured in the spinning movement when cross coupler 11, the scope of the position of maximum load effect among the above-mentioned rolling surface 12a1, and the maximum load scope side that front end (bearer ring 13) side of the axle 12a of the above-mentioned damage of the easiest generation on this rolling surface 12a1 exists, when upward the generation damage bends this 12a because of this rolling surface 12a1, can because of causing the above-mentioned relative displacement of variation, this bending detect this damage by detecting.
Particularly, in above-mentioned live axle 10, owing to allow the driven axial region 10c of roll side to move at above-below direction, so middle relatively respectively axial region 10a of driven axial region 10c and middle axial region 10a and driving axial region 10b, connect by cross coupler 11, so that make its at the compulsory exercise angle (for example, maximum 5deg) but scope in above-below direction shake.Therefore, for example shown in 4 (a), under the occasion that the middle axial region 10a relative drive shaft 10b of portion tilts above with the maximum actuation angle, each bearer ring 13 that is connected with middle axial region 10a for example, shown in the double dot dash line of this figure (b), be in the state that the right part of the axle 12a figure of relatively its installation tilts upward.And, if middle axial region 10a rotates 90deg and 180deg from the state shown in above-mentioned Fig. 4 (a) with the state of keeping the maximum actuation angle, then also corresponding to the spinning movement of middle axial region 10a, shown in the solid line and dotted line of this figure (b), axle 12a shakes this bearer ring 13 relatively.Promptly, in cross coupler 11, when this coupling 11 and live axle 10 together rotate, each bearer ring 13 in the angular range of the twice at the maximum actuation angle that is set in this live axle 10 (for example, + 5~-5deg), the center O of axle 12a is shaken (coming back rotation) relatively.
And, in cross coupler 11, when carrying out its spinning movement, has four each cross axles of 12 12 and in same plane, rotate, but aforesaid shaking takes place in the bearer ring 13 that is mounted on each 12a corresponding to the rotation of live axle 10.Therefore, when the end of the axle 12a shown in Fig. 4 (b) with the paper vertical plane of this figure in during to the following sideway swivel of this figure, in the rolling surface 12a1 of this 12a (Fig. 3), the position that maximum load acted on from bearer ring 13 sides, corresponding to axle the shaking of 12a and moving relative to this ring 13, therefore above-mentioned maximum load scope A is the scope shown in the middle double-head arrow of this figure (b).And, the Zhou Fangxiang size N of the rolling surface 12a1 of this maximum load scope A, the twice angle at the circumference J by adopting this rolling surface 12a1 and the maximum effect angle of live axle 10 is that the working angle M of cross coupler 11 (for example, 10dge), and is tried to achieve by N=J * M ÷ 360deg.
And, pass to the rotating force of middle axial region 10a from cross coupler 11, be delivered to middle axial region 10a by the bearer ring 13 that is arranged on this front end side from axle 12a, therefore, maximum load scope A is in the axle front end side of rolling surface 12a1, displacement transducer 151, as shown in Figure 3, in the 12b of hole and in the axle front end side arranged opposite of rolling surface 12a1.And,, improve the testing precision of this sensor 151 by such configuration bit displacement sensor 151.Promptly, when axle 12a is crooked, unrestricted (free end) side of the single armed beam that central side limited that this 12a front end side is a cross coupler 11, and be provided with displacement transducer 151 in this free end side, so this sensor 151 can detect displacement accurately.
Here, for the testing signal of displacement transducer 151, do to describe in detail with reference to Fig. 5~Fig. 7.In addition, in the following description, for the purpose of simplifying the description, above-mentioned in the middle of axial region 10a continue rotation with the state at its maximum actuation angle, and the waving angle of bearer ring 13 relative these 12a a 5deg~+ change in the 5deg scope.And, when bearer ring 13 is among Fig. 4 (b) during respectively by the state shown in solid line, dotted line and the double dot dash line, the above-mentioned waving angle of this ring 13 be 0deg ,-5deg and+5deg.
At first, with reference to Fig. 6 (a), the testing signal of the displacement transducer 151 when on rolling surface 12a1 damage taking place is explained.
When damage did not take place, the testing signal of displacement transducer 151 shown in the waveform 50a of Fig. 6 (a), shook with 13 relative 12a of bearer ring along with cross coupler 11 spinning movements and correspondingly to be changed to sinusoidal waveform.Particularly, the detection side of displacement transducer 151 is to because of bearer ring 13 installation precision in axle 12a etc., and it is may not be necessarily consistent with the center line of the hole 12b of axle 12a, therefore, be arranged on the testing signal that this is provided with the displacement transducer 151 in the 14b1 of hole, only corresponding in during cross coupler 11 rotates a circle, above-mentioned-5deg~+ waving angle of the bearer ring 13 that shakes in the scope of 5deg and cyclically-varying.For example, when waving angle be+5deg and-during 5deg, the testing signal of displacement transducer 151 is respectively maximum value and minimum value, shown in waveform 50a, like that, be changed to and socialize with one of above-mentioned cross coupler 11 that to transfer to be the sinusoidal waveform of one-period.
Below, as damage, the testing signal of the displacement transducer 151 during illustrative examples peeling off H and occur in rolling surface 12a1 and go up as shown in Figure 5.
Bearer ring 13 is along with the spinning movement of cross coupler 11, with respect to the center O of axle 12a and shake successively, its waving angle be changed to 0deg ,-5deg, 0deg ,+5deg.Because displacement transducer 151 is fixed on the bearer ring 13, so the axle 12a detection side of this sensor 151 relatively is Fig. 7 (a)~(d) to the relative action of S.And, the rolling surface 12a1 of this 12a relatively among this Fig. 7 by relatively moving shown in the arrow Max from the maximum position of bearer ring 13 to the load of axle 12a side effect, therefore, when this ring 13 from the state shown in Fig. 7 (a) to the state shown in Fig. 7 (b) and from the state shown in Fig. 7 (b) to state shown in Fig. 7 (c) shake during, above-mentioned peel off H above of maximum load position by taking place at rolling surface 12a1.
And, like this, because the maximum load position is corresponding to shaking of bearer ring 13 and by peeling off above the H, so according to this maximum load position with peel off position relation between the H, on axle 12a, bend.

And panel type computer 7 or PC8 by its judgement of paying as computer function, diagnostic function, judge based on the pairing axle 12a not damaged being arranged from the testing signal data of each ultrasonic wave sensor 251~254.Promptly, panel type computer 7 or PC8, after the above-mentioned sending part of each sensor 251~254 sends hyperacoustic ripple W that posts a letter, monitor the variation of corresponding hyperacoustic reflected wave R that above-mentioned acceptance division received, for example monitor its peak-peak, maybe when the peak-peak of this supervision reaches the value of (send ripple S * 2-see through the part of roller) shown in Figure 12 (c), be judged as on the rolling surface 12a1 of monitored object and do not damage.In addition, when the peak-peak that monitors does not reach above-mentioned twice value, be judged as on the rolling surface 12a1 of monitored object damage has taken place.
In the present embodiment 2 that as above constitutes, inside at each 12a of cross axle 12 is provided with ultrasonic wave sensor 251~254, and send ultrasound from each ultrasonic wave sensor 251~254 towards the rolling surface 12a1 of the axle 12a of correspondence, and receive reflected wave R from this rolling surface 12a1.Panel type computer 7 or PC8 judge that with the benchmark that is changed to of reflected wave R the damage on the rolling surface 12a1 takes place and the progress degree.Thereby, same with mode of execution 1, even if be assembled in the cross coupler on the live axle of rolling equipment etc., can with axle 12a supervision, the diagnosis of the cross coupler 11 of unit highi degree of accuracy and the damage check that comprises relative rolling surface 12a1 in early days also.Its result does not need to implement regular detection operation in the past and the fractionation operation of the cross coupler 11 followed with it, can suitably carry out upkeep operation based on high-precision diagnostic result on suitable opportunity.
And, in present embodiment 2, to the post a letter phase place of ripple W of each ultrasonic wave sensor 251~254, consistent with the phase place of the hyperacoustic reflected wave RO that when rolling surface 12a1 does not damage, reflects by this rolling surface 12a1, and send this ripple W that posts a letter, therefore, hyperacoustic amplitude that each sensor 251~254 receives can be increased, the precision of the damage check of corresponding relatively rolling surface 12a1 can be improved.
And, in present embodiment 2, because under the state that each ultrasonic wave sensor 251~254 connects airtight with the internal face 12b1 with hole 12b, send ultrasound towards rolling surface 12a1, so can prevent from the ultrasonic wave propagation path between these sensors 251~254 and each rolling surface 12a1, the interface to take place.Thereby, can prevent that the ultrasonic wave propagation path of the refraction that causes because of the interface etc. from changing, and can carry out the ultrasound sensing detection exactly the desired position of rolling surface 12a1.
Mode of execution 3
Figure 13 is the figure of the ultrasonic wave sensor of the shaft coupling monitoring device that relates to of other mode of executions of expression.In the drawings, present embodiment 3 with the main difference point of above-mentioned mode of execution 2 is: the fixed position of ultrasonic wave sensor is become the bearer ring side from the axle side.Wherein, for mode of execution 1 common element, additional identical reference marks, and omit the explanation of its repetition.
