Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lubricant evaluation system comprising a four-ball machine. It allows for example to follow the anti-wear or extreme-pressure characteristics of lubricants.
- the operating time and the reliability of the machines and mechanisms in general are hardly limited by sudden organ failures caused by a lack of resistance of the materials.
- the increased choice and performance of the latter, modern methods for calculating resistance, and room control techniques are increasingly eliminating the risk of serious incidents.
- the mechanisms are limited in duration and in performance by phenomena of wear or failure of lubrication, such as seizing, abrasion, scratching, quilting, flaking, etc.
- control means are defined by the choice of the bases which constitute the lubricant, the optimization of their hot viscosity and, above all, the incorporation of anti-wear additives, anti-corrosion, and additives improving the resistance to extreme pressures.
- the lubricant keeps the surfaces with which it is in contact clean by removing unwanted products such as combustion soot, dust, wear debris and thermal or chemical degradation products.
- test conditions are adapted to the properties that one wishes to reveal, namely the extreme pressure performance, or the anti-wear performance.
- the wear plane of the three lower balls is dimensioned according to two perpendicular diameters.
- Figures 1 and 2 announced, respectively in section, a general view of such a machine with four balls and in perspective with partial cutaway, a view of the cup that equips.
- the machine 1 of Figure 1 comprises a frame 10 of vertical axis X-X ', on which is mounted a plate 11 which supports a cup 2 receiving three balls 20 (only two balls are visible in the figure).
- the plate 11 rests itself by a ball bearing system on a support 4, movable in the vertical direction.
- This support 4 is a kind of piston. It is slidably mounted relative to the frame 10 and is integral with a dynamometric arm 41, transverse axis, pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis Y-Y '. At the end of the arm opposite the support is mounted a pulling member 42. It is understood that the greater the traction on the member 42, in the direction of the arrow g, the more the plate 11, and thus the cup 2, are subjected to a large force, directed vertically in the opposite direction of the arrow g.
- the fourth ball 30 of the machine is disposed at the end of a mandrel 31, itself driven in rotation about the vertical axis XX 'mentioned above, by means of a rotary motor 3.
- the cup 2 is formed of a discoid bottom element 21 placed in a part 22 whose vertically rising edges have their threaded external wall.
- the three balls 20, previously cleaned, are placed inside the cup 2 and are covered by a clamping ring 23 to keep them centered.
- a lubricant H is poured inside the cup so that its level exceeds the top of the three balls 20.
- the tightening torque is set at 11 daN.
- the cup is then placed on the plate 11.
- the clamping ring 23 is thus pressed firmly on the three balls 20 so that the ball / clamping ring / cup assembly forms an integral assembly.
- a new ball 30 is placed in the mandrel 31 of the engine 3 and the assembly is put in place above the cup.
- the machine is ready to use.
- the four balls 20 and 30 are therefore arranged in a pyramidal arrangement with a triangular base.
- the member 42 is integral with a jack.
- the present invention aims at improving this technique according to which the effectiveness of the lubricant is determined as a function of the impressions of the balls and the friction applied, by proposing an installation including a machine with four ball that allows to automatically evaluate the tribological properties of this lubricant, depending on a number of parameters that are measured.
- a tribological evaluation facility for a lubricant especially a motor oil or a transmission oil, which comprises a four-ball machine comprising:
- This installation is remarkable in that it also comprises means for measuring at least the following parameters:
- said measuring means comprise sensors and / or probes
- said computer means are capable of controlling a gradual and continuous increase in the value of said load; said computer means are capable of driving a gradual increase in the value of said load, in successive stages;
- said rotary drive means consist of a variable pitch motor
- said means are capable of controlling a progressive and continuous increase in the rotational speed of said fourth ball; said computer means are capable of controlling a gradual and continuous increase in the speed of rotation of said fourth ball, in successive stages;
- Said means are adapted to control, as a function of time, a variation of said temperature of the cup or bath;
- said computer means are capable of establishing a graphical representation, as a function of time, of the various parameters measured.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an installation according to the invention
- FIG. 4 is a graph which groups, as a function of time, representative curves of four parameters measured with the installation of FIG.
- This installation comprises a machine 1 which has a physiognomy substantially identical to that described with reference to Figures 1 and 2.
- the identical or similar elements bear identical references.
- the member 42 is integral with the rod of a jack V, connected to the ground S, this jack being preferably an electropneumatic jack.
- a set of sensors equip this machine.
- a sensor Ei (of the typeK thermocouple type) measures the temperature of the cup 2.
- a sensor E 2 (of the displacement type FGP) measures the value of the coefficient of friction applied to the cup 2.
- the sensor E 3 (amperometric type) measures the speed of rotation of the motor 3.
- the sensor E 4 (positioning type FGP) measures the displacement value of the dynamometric arm 41.
- the sensor E 5 (displacement type FGP) measures the load applied by the jack V.
- the values measured by all these sensors are sent to a computer F which records them by means of ACQ data acquisition software.
- the various sensors will preferably be calibrated by comparing the values given by the software with calibrated values.
- the computer means are advantageously able to drive a progressive increase in the value of the load applied to the cup and, at regular time intervals, to measure at least the following parameters:
- Said progressive increase of the load can be done in successive stages.
- the duration of the pulse ie the time during which the jack will pull on the arm
- - pulse waiting time which is the time between two pulses
- - the acquisition frequency which is the time between two measurements
- the software is then able to interpret the saved parameters and to render them as tables and graphs.
- Figure 4 gives an example of such a graphical interpretation.
- This graphical representation makes it possible to evaluate the anti-wear properties of the lubricant, in particular from the curve C of displacement of the dynamometric arm.
- This curve can also take a negative slope which corresponds to a dilation of the balls when one has a very rapid temperature rise.
- the temperature curve is in direct relationship with the displacement curve. When microgrippings are formed, it follows an increase in temperature.
- the coefficient of friction curve is in direct relation with the displacement curve of the dynamometric arm, and therefore of the wear.
- actuator sensors of the jack can be installed in order to be able to control the speeds of rise in load.
- the establishment of a temperature control unit via a cryostat may also be an additional variant.
- This installation therefore allows, with a reduced operator time, to discriminate different types of lubricants, while allowing direct wear measurements on the balls, according to the known method according to the state of the art.
