Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of chain scraper, in particular to a scraper chain service state intelligent monitoring device, system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The scraper chain transmission system is the "artery" of mine production. As a typical continuous closed transmission system, it mainly plays a role in traction and load bearing when transporting coal or gangue and other materials underground, and has the outstanding characteristics of long distance, large capacity and high strength. The chain transmission device is a typical double-chain traction flexible continuous transportation mechanism, which has many components and complex structure. Its working state directly determines whether the scraper can operate safely and reliably. The failure of the scraper chain is a key factor causing the failure of the scraper conveyor, accounting for about 52.2% of the total number of scraper accidents, which seriously reduces the production efficiency of the coal mine and poses a major threat to the safety of underground workers.

[0003] At present, the existing scraper chain state monitoring methods are mostly based on theoretical algorithm analysis of the tension of the scraper chain at a specific position and static measurement at a fixed point in an experimental environment. The theoretical algorithm is complicated and has poor applicability, and the fixed-point monitoring lacks practicality. The existing dynamic monitoring methods have obvious limitations. Chinese invention patent No. CN201711078198.5, "Scraper Conveyor Chain Breakage Real-time Monitoring System and Monitoring Method", was published on March 9, 2018. It uses strain gauges and node positioning modules to measure the tension and node position information of the scraper chain ring, aiming to monitor the chain breakage of the scraper conveyor in the mine environment in real time.

[0004] The problems in this scheme are as follows:

[0005] 1. In terms of structure, the strain gauges are easily damaged by the scraper and raw coal due to being flatly pasted in the flat chain ring groove, making it difficult to measure real-time stress changes. The power supply of this monitoring system is also not sustainable, and needs to be replaced regularly, making it difficult to be used for a long time.

[0006] 2. In terms of implementation principle, the stress between the scraper chains is fluctuating under normal working conditions. It is not feasible to determine whether the chain breakage fault occurs or not based on the stress difference AF of the left and right nodes. In addition, the chain jamming fault also accompanies a sudden change in strain. The position of the data transmission node changes in real time with the synchronous operation of the scraper chain. It is difficult to achieve real-time monitoring through relay data transmission.

[0007] 3. In terms of implementability, the scraper chain breakage will cause a chain reaction collapse of the entire chain system, leading to multiple component failures. Without any safety protection measures, the monitoring work has poor implementation effect.

[0008] Considering the limitations of the coal mine production environment and the hazards of equipment accidents, it is essential to explore comprehensive evaluation methods and maintenance strategies for the service status of scraper chains to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the chain drive system.

[0057] In the two states of shutdown and normal operation, the strain values of the strain grooves of the left and right engagement position rings in the coupling sleeve of the scraper chain transmission device are respectively ε Y1 , ε Y2 , ε N1 and ε N2 ;

[0058] The real-time strain change rates of the left and right engagement position strain grooves are respectively:

[0059] W 1l = λ0×(|ε X1 - ε Y1 |) / ε Y1 and W 1r = λ0×(|ε X2 - ε Y2 |) / ε Y2 ; wherein λ0 is a correction factor, and the correction factor λ0 = (εY1×εY2) / (εN1×ε N2 , which is used to eliminate the influence of the start-up and chain tension on the strain measurement;

[0128] As shown in Figure 1 , an intelligent monitoring and management method for a scraper chain service state comprises the following steps:

[0129] (1) initializing the intelligent monitoring and management system for the scraper chain service state, setting a strain change rate threshold W0(%) and frame image pixel difference thresholds Z l , Z h , and an edge standard line angle difference threshold ID of the positioning label; and sequentially numbering the middle troughs (4) arranged side by side along the working face as 1, 2, …1·i, 2·i, …1·(N-1), 2·N; the wireless communication module forms i number transmission nodes, each number transmission node can independently collect the strain of the scraper chain, the image of the middle trough and the position information of the electronic label, and can be remotely transmitted by a unified wireless PI protocol.

After the fault occurs, the strain values at the left and right meshing circular chain grooves 617 both change irregularly and disorderly. When the scraper chain transmission device is in the two states of shutdown and normal operation, the strain values of the strain weak coupling contact points 52 in the left and right meshing position circular chain grooves 617 obtained by the strain gauge 55 are respectively ε Y1 , ε Y2 and ε N1 , ε N2 , the strain values of the strain weak coupling contact points 52 in the real-time operation monitoring state are respectively ε X1 , ε X2 , the correction factor λ0=(ε Y1 ×ε Y2 ) / (ε N1 ×ε N2 ) is set to eliminate the influence of start-up and chain tension on strain measurement, and the real-time strain change rates of the left and right meshing position strain weak coupling contact points 52 are respectively:

[0132] W 1l =λ0×(|ε X1 -ε Y1 |) / ε Y1 and W 1r =λ0×(|ε X2 -ε Y2 |) / ε Y2 ; the single-frame image pixel difference obtained by the image monitoring module 8 at equal time intervals is set as Z1; the longitudinal horizontal and vertical center line AB of the split scraper 6 under normal operation of the chain transmission device is set as the reference standard line, and the longitudinal center line A'B' of the split scraper 6 obtained by the monitoring high-magnification industrial network camera 81 at any time is set as the edge standard line, and the angle between AB and A'B' is If the measured W 1l and W 1r are both greater than W0, Z1 is less than Z l , and , it can be determined that the scraper chain has a chain jamming fault, if the measured W 1l or W 1r is greater than W0, Z1 is greater than Z h , and , it can be determined that a chain breakage fault occurs, if the fault occurs, step (4) can be further executed, otherwise it can be determined that the fault is misjudged, the strain change is caused by unstable factors, and steps (1)-(3) are repeatedly executed.

[0133] (4) Fault location and action: under normal working conditions, the double-chain buffer device 10 is always in a relaxed state; when the round-link chain 3 has a chain jamming failure, the motor automatically stops at a stall state, and when a chain breaking failure occurs, the angles of AB and A'B' are At this time, the open link ring 1012 of the double-chain buffer device 10 can move in parallel along the connecting shaft 1013 under the traction of the connecting edge chain 102, and release the chain breaking tension impact under the action of the buffer spring 1015, so that the double-chain system of the scraper continues to run safely and stably, avoiding the chain breaking causing a chain jamming failure; at the same time of the failure, the corresponding RFID reader 71 arranged on the coal baffle groove side of the middle groove 4 can obtain the ID number of the passive electronic tag 72 on the upper surface of the split scraper 6, and the corresponding ith number transmission node position can be accurately determined in combination with the image information obtained by the image monitoring module 8, and the intelligent management platform remotely controls the emergency stop brake to complete the repair work.
