Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of industrial detection, and particularly relates to a conveying belt laser vision tearing detection system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] As the core equipment for continuous transportation of bulk materials, conveying belts are widely used in industrial fields such as mines, ports, power and metallurgy. In actual working conditions, the conveying belt is prone to tearing failure due to factors such as material impact, foreign object scratches and roller wear, which not only causes equipment damage, but also may cause production interruption and environmental pollution. With the development of conveying belts towards "wide width, high speed and heavy load", the traditional manual inspection efficiency is low (about 0.5 km / h), the recognition accuracy is less than 60% in harsh working conditions, and false and missed judgments occur frequently. Therefore, developing efficient and accurate automatic detection technology has become the key to ensuring production safety.

[0003] Current conveying belt tearing detection technologies mainly include contact type and non-contact type. The contact type technology obtains state information by contact between the detection element and the conveying belt, and is widely used in early stage, mainly including pressure sensor type and steel wire rope core electromagnetic detection. The pressure sensor type technology arranges a pressure sensor array under the conveying belt, and the pressure is stable under normal working conditions. When tearing occurs, the pressure drops suddenly due to material leakage, so as to judge the fault. At present, some domestic short-distance conveying belts still use this technology, and the sensor response time is about 50 ms. The steel wire rope core electromagnetic detection technology is used for steel wire rope core conveying belts with a proportion of more than 60%, which uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to capture the magnetic field distortion caused by the breaking of steel wire rope through the excitation coil and Hall sensor, and can detect steel wire rope defects with a diameter of ≥0.5 mm.

[0004] The non-contact type technology realizes non-contact detection through optical and acoustic means, and has become a research hotspot in recent years, mainly including four types: the infrared thermal imaging technology uses the temperature difference of the tearing part to capture the temperature field image through the infrared thermal imager, identifies the high temperature area to determine the tearing, and the detection distance can reach 8-10 meters; the ultrasonic wave technology is based on the penetration and reflection characteristics of sound waves, and captures the sound wave attenuation caused by tearing through the transmitter and receiver, which can detect conveying belt defects with a thickness of ≥5 mm, and the accuracy is about ±2 mm; the ordinary machine vision technology uses an industrial camera with a pixel of 200-500 million to obtain images, and combines with algorithm to identify tearing features. Some systems cover wide conveying belts through multi-camera splicing, and the recognition accuracy is about 85%; the early laser vision technology introduces a line laser projection module to form a continuous laser stripe, calculates three-dimensional coordinates through image acquisition by an industrial camera and the principle of triangulation, and judges tearing by stripe breaking or deviation. At present, it is still in the research and development stage and has not been industrialized on a large scale.

[0005] From the industry application, the prior art also has three common bottlenecks: first, the detection range is limited, the detection capability is low, and it is mostly suitable for specific type or working condition of the conveyor belt; second, the intelligent degree is low, and it can only judge whether it is torn, and cannot divide the defect level and predict the failure trend; third, the system integration is poor, and there is lack of linkage with the conveyor belt control system, and manual shutdown is required after detection, and the delayed response is easy to expand the failure. These defects restrict the detection reliability, and also provide a direction for the optimization and upgrading of the laser vision detection technology.

[0006] A conveyor belt longitudinal tear visual detection system is disclosed in the prior art CN120235835A, which includes dynamically adjusting the window structure and the cleaning device by real-time monitoring of dust concentration, mud and water adhesion and illumination conditions, using a logical judgment algorithm, effectively reducing environmental interference, improving image acquisition quality, and ensuring the clarity of 3D image data; introducing a multiple detection mechanism and a secondary confirmation strategy, using a deep learning model to fuse historical data to construct a time series model, and optimizing the tear prediction result through an attention mechanism, finally generating a tear risk assessment index Tlzs, improving detection accuracy and reducing false alarm rate; supporting TCP / IP, Modbus Tcp and webSocket protocols, converting data formats uniformly and visualizing display, and realizing centralized management of multiple devices. However, the multiple detection mechanism and the secondary confirmation strategy used in this method result in high complexity of the system, and the response speed and detection efficiency are greatly reduced. At the same time, this invention only supports longitudinal tear detection, and the detection range and capability are insufficient. In the prior art CN112258398A, a conveyor belt longitudinal tear detection device and method based on TOF and binocular image fusion are disclosed, which includes a central processing unit, a data storage module, an image processing module, and an image acquisition module between the upper and lower belts of the conveyor belt; the power module is connected to the central processing unit, the image processing module is connected to the image acquisition module, and the central processing unit is connected to the data storage module and the image processing module; the image acquisition module transmits the collected images to the image processing module, and then transmits the processed data to the central processing unit; the central processing unit fuses the TOF parallax map and the binocular parallax map to calculate the depth map and analyze whether the conveyor belt is torn longitudinally according to the depth map, and the invention can more effectively detect the longitudinal tear of the conveyor belt. However, the intelligent degree of this invention is low, and the detection range and detection capability are also relatively insufficient. SUMMARY
