Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a Condition Tracking of Hydraulic Oil in Hydraulic Shovels using sx1278 RF and Cloud with Alert.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The difficulty that this innovation attempts to address is the requirement for effective and proactive hydraulic oil condition monitoring in shovels, which are an essential component of heavy machinery that are widely used in various industries. In the past, it has been challenging to identify issues related to hydraulic oil quickly in the lack of a thorough monitoring system, which has resulted in possible equipment failure, increased maintenance costs, and decreased operating effectiveness.
EP2103747A1 - A hydraulic drive system for a hydraulic excavator is provided with a boom cylinder and arm cylinder, a main hydraulic pump for feeding pressure oil to both the cylinders a directional control valve for a boom and directional control valve for an arm to control flows of pressure oil to be fed to the boom cylinder and arm cylinder, respectively, and a reservoir line connecting the directional control valve for the arm with a working oil reservoir. A flow-rate control valve capable of selectively closing the reservoir line is arranged and, when a rod-side hydraulic pressure of the arm cylinder has increased to a preset value or greater while grading work is performed by a combined operation of boom raising and arm crowding, the reservoir line is closed by the flow-rate control valve to prevent drainage of rod-side pressure oil from the arm cylinder to the working oil reservoir and to feed the rod-side pressure oil to a bottom side of the boom cylinder.

This creative method uses a two-node system (CTHO_RFTCNode and CTHO_RFRCNode) to track the condition of hydraulic oil in shovels utilizing sx1278 RF and Cloud with Alert features. A Beaglebone Processor Board powers the CTHO_RFTCNode, which is mounted on the shovel and incorporates important sensors including the temperature, pressure, and NAS sensors. The status of the hydraulic oil may be continuously monitored with this configuration. Wireless connection is made possible by the sx1278 RF module, which enables the data to be transferred to a cloud server that has been specially created for this breakthrough.A dependable power source guarantees the node's continuous operation, which guarantees the constant collection of sensor data. The CTHO_RFRCNode is located remotely at the same time, possibly in a control room or another central location. In addition, it makes use of the sx1278 RF module and the Beaglebone Processor Board, with a GSM modem, display, and speaker.
This node serves as a communication link between the operator and the cloud server. Through the RF communication link, it gets alerts and messages from the cloud server, relaying this information to the operator through the display and audible announcements. This guarantees that any disparities in the hydraulic oil conditions are communicated promptly and efficiently. As the brains of the system, the cloud server is essential to processing the information that comes in from the CTHO_RFTCNode. The incoming data is analyzed by predefined algorithms to produce real-time information about the state of the hydraulic oil as well as insightful analytics. The web dashboard, made especially for this application, shows trending statistics and all pertinent metrics in a visually appealing manner.Furthermore, in the event that the algorithms identify any anomalies or problems, notifications are immediately sent to the operator via the CTHO_RFRCNode and shown on the dashboard, guaranteeing rapid awareness and action.
