The lubricating oil deterioration measuring device of the present invention is constructed as described above, and the following effects can be achieved. That is,
The sensitivity (S / N ratio) deteriorates when the reference vibration, the second harmonic, and the third harmonic become large. On the other hand, in order to measure the deterioration degree of the lubricating oil online, it is necessary to flow the oil into the flow cell, and the width (optical path length) of the flow cell is practically 10
Unless it is 0 μ or more, dirty oil does not flow. In the reference vibration, the light absorbency of the oil is too large and the light does not hit the light receiving element. Therefore, it is necessary to form an oil film of 100 μ or less and apply the light to the light receiving element. So the thickness of oil flow (eg 500
μ) and the harmonic overtone with the highest thermal oxide sensitivity, the second harmonic is 2100 mm to 2200 mm (the center wavelength changes depending on the oil component, for example, 2150 mm).
(mm, 2156 mm, etc.), a high S / N ratio can be obtained by the light receiving element as an online deterioration degree measuring device. In this respect, the conventional lubricant deterioration measuring device using the semiconductor can measure only the 6th or 7th overtone of the carbonyl group or the ketone group, which is a thermal oxidative decomposition product, and as a result, the sensitivity (S / N ratio) is increased. The deterioration degree of the lubricating oil could not be accurately determined, but in the present invention, since the overtone with good sensitivity (S / N ratio) can be measured, the sensitivity (S / N ratio) is high,
The deterioration degree of the lubricating oil can be accurately and quickly determined.

Further, according to the present invention, since predictive diagnosis can be performed before the engine constituent members (cylinder, piston, etc.) are worn due to deterioration of the lubricating oil, the wear of the engine constituent members can be suppressed.
