Abstract
A mechanical device includes a housing, a transparent spacer member, a magnet, and an image capturing device. The housing has an internal space in which a machine component immersed in oil is housed. The spacer member is disposed in an opening of the housing. The magnet is supported by the spacer member. The image capturing device captures the internal space of the housing via the spacer member.
Claims16
A mechanical device comprising:
- a housing that has an internal space in which a machine component immersed in oil is housed;
- a transparent spacer member disposed in an opening of the housing;
- a magnet supported by the spacer member;
- and
- an image capturing device that captures the internal space of the housing via the spacer member.
A deterioration state estimation system of a machine component, comprising:
- a housing that has an internal space in which a machine component immersed in oil is housed;
- a transparent spacer member disposed in an opening of the housing;
- a magnet supported by the spacer member;
- an image capturing device that captures the internal space of the housing via the spacer member;
- an image data acquisition unit that acquires image data captured by the image capturing device;
- and
- an output device that outputs the image data acquired by the image data acquisition unit.
A deterioration state estimation method of a machine component, comprising:
- capturing an internal space of a housing, in which a machine component immersed in oil is housed, by an image capturing device via a transparent spacer member that is disposed in an opening of the housing and supports a magnet;
- and
- estimating a deterioration state of the machine component based on the image data captured by the image capturing device.
