Abstract
A wheel end temperature monitoring system, includes: a wheel end temperature sensor configured to detect the temperature of a hub bearing of a wheel of a trailer; and a main unit configured to receive a signal of the wheel end temperature sensor and transmit the received signal to the outside.
Claims15
A wheel end temperature monitoring system, comprising:
- a wheel end temperature sensor configured to detect the temperature of a hub bearing of a wheel of a trailer;
- and
- a main unit configured to receive a signal of the wheel end temperature sensor and transmit the received signal to the outside,
- wherein the wheel end temperature sensor includes:
- an insertion part mounted to pass through a hub cap, extending to an oil filling space between the hub cap and a housing in a state in which the insertion part is mounted on the hub cap, and having a board accommodating space in an interior thereof;
- a thermal conduction cap provided at an end of the insertion part, formed of a metallic material, and contacting an outside and an inside of the board accommodating space;
- a cap part coupled to an upper side of the insertion part and configured to close a board accommodating space;
- and
- a sensor board accommodated in the board accommodating space of the insertion part, configured to measure temperature through heat conducted through the thermal conduction cap, and configured to transmit the measured temperature to the outside.

A hub bearing assembly comprising:
- a hub bearing disposed to be concentric with a shaft and provided at an end of the shaft;
- a bearing provided between the shaft and the hub housing;
- a hub cap provided at an outer end of the housing and sealing a space between the bearing and the housing, which is filled with oil;
- and
- a wheel end temperature sensor mounted to pass through the hub cap and configured to measure the temperature of the oil in the space between the housing and the hub cap,
- wherein the wheel end temperature sensor includes:
- an insertion part mounted to pass through a hub cap, extending to an oil filling space between the hub cap and a housing in a state in which the insertion part is mounted on the hub cap, and having a board accommodating space in an interior thereof;
- a thermal conduction cap provided at an end of the insertion part, formed of a metallic material, and contacting an outside and an inside of the board accommodating space;
- a cap part coupled to an upper side of the insertion part and configured to close a board accommodating space;
- and
- a sensor board accommodated in the board accommodating space of the insertion part, configured to measure temperature through heat conducted through the thermal conduction cap, and configured to transmit the measured temperature to the outside.
