Sumario:Monitoring the working condition of hydraulic equipment is significance in industrial fields. The abnormal wear of the hydraulic system can be revealed by detecting the variety and size of micro metal debris in the hydraulic oil. We thus present the design and implementation of a micro detection system of hydraulic oil metal debris based on inductor capacitor (LC) resonant circuit in this paper. By changing the resonant frequency of the micro fluidic chip, we can detect the metal debris of hydraulic oil and analyze the sensitivity of the micro fluidic chip at different resonant frequencies. We then obtained the most suitable resonant frequency. The chip would generate a positive resistance pulse when the iron particles pass through the detection area and the sensitivity of the chip decreased with resonant frequency. The chip would generate a negative resistance pulse when the copper particles pass through the detection area and the sensitivity of the chip increased with resonant frequency. The experimental results show that the change of resonant frequency has a great effect on the copper particles and little on the iron particles. Thus, a relatively big resonant frequency can be selected for chip designing and testing. In practice, we can choose a relatively big resonant frequency in this micro fluidic chip designing. The resonant micro fluidic chip is capable of detecting 20–30 μm iron particles and 70–80 μm copper particles at 0.9 MHz resonant frequency.
