It is built.

The grease lubricator 100 is a device for lubricating a bearing, and when lubricating, it measures a lubrication amount lubricated in a bearing. In addition, when the grease is oiled, the grease lubricator 100 measures the oil supply amount and the vibration amount of the bearing in real time.

That is, the grease lubricator 100 may be said to measure the vibration amount of the bearing in accordance with the change in the fuel flow rate in real time. In addition, the grease lubricator 100 transmits information about the measured oil supply amount and vibration amount to the PDA 200.

The PDA 200 transmits information on the oil supply amount and vibration amount received from the grease lubricator 100 to the PDMS 300 in addition to the PDA function. When the fuel flow rate and the vibration amount are transmitted, the PDA 200 transmits information (eg, a management number of the bearing) on the bearings in which grease is filled. Information about the bearings delivered to the PDMS 300 can be obtained by the lubrication serviceman directly inputting through the PDA 200.

The PDMS 300 converts the information about the fuel flow rate and vibration amount received from the PDA 200 into bearing DBs. On the other hand, PDMS (300) provides the information about the flow rate and vibration amount of the DB-bearing to the PDA (200).

The PDA 200 calculates an appropriate oil supply amount based on the received oil supply amount and vibration amount information, and provides information on the calculated oil supply amount on the screen.

The mobile communication module 220 is a module for communicating with a base station through a mobile communication network, and is a module required for accessing the Internet or another network through a telephone call, an SMS transmission, and a mobile communication network.

The controller 230 controls the overall operation of the PDA 200 according to the lubrication serviceman command input through the touch screen 240. The memory 250 is a storage medium that stores programs and data necessary for the controller 230 to drive the PDA 200.

The touch screen 240 functions as an input means for the lubrication serviceman to input a bearing management number, and also as a display means for displaying an appropriate flow rate of the bearing.

The controller 230 displays the information on the fuel flow rate and vibration amount received from the grease lubricator 100 through the short range wireless communication module 210 and the bearing management number input through the touch screen 240. To pass). 'Bearing management number input through the touch screen 240' is input by the lubrication maintenance personnel, and is the management number of the bearing is currently being lubricated.

In transmitting information about the fuel flow rate, the vibration amount, and the bearing management number to the PDMS 300, the controller 230 may use any one of the short range wireless communication module 210 and the mobile communication module 220. If the PDA 200 and the PDMS 300 are connected through a short range wireless network, the short range wireless communication module 210 may be used. Otherwise, the mobile communication module 220 is used.

On the other hand, the controller 230 may request and receive information on the fuel flow rate and vibration amount for a specific bearing to the PDMS (300). The controller 230 calculates an appropriate oil supply amount for the bearing based on the oil supply amount and vibration amount received. The optimum oil supply amount can be determined as the oil supply amount when the vibration amount is the smallest, but the present invention does not exclude the determination by analyzing the vibration amount in a different manner.

Thereafter, the controller 230 may display the calculated appropriate oil flow rate on the touch screen 240 so that the lubrication service technician can see it.

4 is a detailed block diagram of the PDMS 300 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the PDMS 300 includes a communication interface 310, a DB manager 320, and a storage 330.
