Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of intelligent detection technology, specifically to a method, device, equipment, and storage medium for detecting the motion state of an idler roller. Background Technology

[0002] Idler rollers are the most numerous and critical components in belt conveyors, and are the core parts of the conveyor's motion contact and friction. They are highly prone to failure, including roller jamming, wear, loosening, breakage, and falling off. Due to the large number of idlers, faults are difficult to observe, and manual inspections are insufficient to detect them in a timely manner. Furthermore, the working environment of belt conveyors is dusty and noisy, making common visual or auditory detection methods unreliable and unable to accurately locate faulty idlers. Conventional sensor detection methods, due to the sheer number of idlers, require a large number of sensors, are difficult to maintain, and are costly, making them impractical for practical use.

[0003] Distributed fiber optic sensing technology, capable of real-time distributed monitoring along a single fiber optic cable and spatially locating components, is widely used in long-distance distributed information monitoring fields such as pipelines, transportation, and construction. Distributed fiber optic vibration sensors offer numerous advantages, including resistance to electromagnetic interference, flexibility, and small size. They can also remotely monitor and locate idler rollers along the fiber optic line in real time, making them highly suitable for idler roller monitoring. Current research attempts to monitor idler rollers in real time using distributed fiber optic vibration sensors, but these methods primarily rely on directly monitoring the vibration of the idler frame or shaft.

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and not for limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the shape, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0029] In the following description, numerous details are explored to provide a more thorough explanation of embodiments of the invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other embodiments, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form rather than in detail to avoid obscuring embodiments of the invention.

[0030] First, it's important to clarify that idlers are crucial components of belt conveyors. They come in various types and are numerous, supporting the conveyor belt and the weight of the materials. Belt conveyors are the most widely used type of bulk material transport machinery, commonly used in industries such as metallurgy, coal, ports, mining, power, chemicals, and grain storage. Belt conveyors are characterized by long conveying distances and large coverage areas. Current maintenance and inspection methods primarily rely on manual inspections, which involve a large inspection area, high labor intensity, and low accuracy, depending heavily on operator experience. Furthermore, a malfunction in a large belt conveyor system can disrupt upstream and downstream operations, causing significant economic losses and even potential safety accidents.

[0031] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the implementation environment of the idler roller motion state detection method, as shown in an exemplary embodiment of this application. Figure 1As shown, the implementation environment of the idler motion state detection method includes an idler device 101, a signal detection device 102, and a computer device 103. The idler device 101 is the idler to be detected, which can be a single idler or a combination of multiple idlers acting on the same conveyor belt. The signal detection device 102 is used to emit an initial light signal and receive both light and vibration signals. The computer device 102 can be at least one of a desktop graphics processing unit (GPU) computer, a GPU computing cluster, a neural network computer, or an intelligent processor integrated into the vehicle. Technical personnel can use the signal detection device 102 to detect the vibration signal of the idler 101 to be detected, further generate a scattered signal, determine its signal transmission time, and send the obtained scattered signal, signal transmission time, and other relevant information to the computer device 103. This allows for calculation to establish a correlation between the idler to be detected and the scattered signal, thereby determining the motion state of the idler to be detected through the scattered signal.

[0032] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the roller motion state detection steps of an exemplary embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the idler roller motion state detection method includes at least steps S210 to S240, which are described in detail below:

[0033] Step S210: Acquire the initial optical signal and vibration signal.

[0034] In one embodiment of this application, a signal receiver is provided at the roller to be tested for receiving optical signals and vibration signals.

[0035] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a roller motion state detection device, as shown in an exemplary embodiment of this application. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of a roller vibration transmission module, as shown in an exemplary embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the idler motion state detection device includes an idler frame 1, an idler 2, a distributed fiber optic sensor 3, a vibration transmission module 4, and a fiber optic tray 5. (As shown...) Figure 4 As shown, the idler roller vibration transmission module includes an eccentric block 6, a contact end oscillating needle 7, a transmission mechanism 8, and an output end 9. Distributed fiber optic vibration sensors 3 are arranged along the running direction of the belt conveyor. The eccentric block 6 is located on the end face of the idler roller. When the idler roller rotates, the eccentric block contacts the vibration transmission module, generating vibration that is transmitted to the fiber optic tray 5. The fiber optic tray is installed at the corresponding position of each group of idler rollers 2. The monitoring terminal is located in the control room and is used to receive signals, monitor the operating status of each idler roller in real time, and determine the location and type of faulty idler roller.

[0036] It should be noted that the eccentric block is installed on the end face of the idler roller, and its connection method includes, but is not limited to, welding, bonding, hinge or other connection methods.

[0037] In one embodiment of this application, an eccentric block is disposed on the end face of the idler roller to be tested, and a vibration transmission module is disposed on the idler roller frame of the idler roller to be tested. When the idler roller to be tested moves, it drives the eccentric block to rotate, causing the vibration transmission module and the eccentric block to generate a vibration signal based on the force. The vibration transmission module and the eccentric block generating a vibration signal based on the force includes: the vibration transmission module is in contact with the eccentric block, and when the idler roller to be tested moves, it drives the eccentric block to move, causing the vibration transmission module to collide with the eccentric block, and generating a vibration signal based on the collision; or, there is a magnetic force between the vibration transmission module and the eccentric block, and when the idler roller to be tested moves, it drives the eccentric block to move, causing the vibration transmission module to be displaced under the action of force, and generating a vibration signal based on the displacement.

[0038] In addition, it should be noted that the vibration transmission module includes a contact end and an output end. The contact end may or may not be in contact with the eccentric block. The output end is displaced by the force between the eccentric block and the contact end, thereby generating a vibration signal.

[0039] In one specific embodiment of this application, taking a long pendulum needle as the contact end as an example, when the belt conveyor is running, the conveyor belt drives the idler roller to rotate by friction. When the eccentric block rotates, it will collide with the vibration transmission device, including the long pendulum needle at the contact end, to generate relative motion. Under the action of the rotating shaft, it drives the output end to swing. During the swinging process, the pendulum needle at the output end strikes the optical fiber tray to generate a vibration signal.

[0040] In another specific embodiment of this application, taking the contact end as a pressure block as an example, the pressure block is fixed on the roller to be tested. When the roller to be tested moves, the eccentric block rotates and comes into contact with the pressure block, causing the pressure block to be displaced. Based on the displacement, the output end knocks on the optical fiber tray, generating a vibration signal.

[0041] In another specific embodiment of this application, taking both the eccentric block and the contact end as permanent magnets as an example, the permanent magnet at the contact end is fixed on the roller to be tested. When the roller to be tested moves, the permanent magnet of the eccentric block rotates and causes the permanent magnet at the contact end to be displaced. Based on the displacement, the output end strikes the optical fiber tray, generating a vibration signal.

[0042] It should be noted that, based on the above embodiments proposed in this application, by converting the idler roller motion into rhythmic vibration with a relatively fixed frequency and amplitude, other irrelevant vibrations can be filtered out through simple signal processing methods. This avoids the problem of excessive noise and chaotic vibration signals in the existing idler roller vibration measurement process, which directly measures the vibration of the idler roller frame. As a result, the range of frequency and amplitude of the detection signal is reduced, and noise can be filtered out more accurately through signal processing, effectively improving the accuracy of the detection conclusion of the idler roller motion state.

[0043] Step S220: Generate a scattering signal based on the initial optical signal and vibration signal, and convert the scattering signal into a detection electrical signal.

[0044] In one embodiment of this application, after the conveyor belt is started, the belt drives the idlers to rotate due to friction during operation. When the eccentric block rotates, it collides with the long pendulum needle at the contact end of the vibration transmission module, generating relative motion. Under the action of the rotating shaft, the output end swings. During the swing, the pendulum needle at the output end strikes the optical fiber tray, generating a vibration signal. At the same time, the detection beam emitted by the signal transmitting device is transmitted along the conveyor belt via optical fiber. During the transmission, the detection beam is scattered in the optical fiber, and the optical properties of the scattering change due to vibration. Therefore, based on the interference of the vibration signal, the optical signal of the detection beam will become a new scattered signal. The signal receiving device set at each idler can receive the scattered signal with vibration information and convert the received scattered signal into a detection electrical signal.

[0045] It should be noted that the scattering mode can vary depending on the type of optical fiber, including but not limited to Rayleigh scattering, Raman scattering, or Brillouin scattering.

[0046] Step S230: Determine the transmission time of the initial optical signal and the reception time of the scattered signal, and determine the transmission duration of the signal based on the reception time and the transmission time.

[0047] In one embodiment of this application, three idlers A, B, and C are arranged on a conveyor belt to be tested, and the distances between the three idlers and the detection beam emitting device are S, respectively. A S B S C The emission time of the probe beam is t0, and the reception times of the scattered signals from the three rollers are t0 and t1 respectively. A t B t C Therefore, it can be based on t0 and t A The transmission time T from the probe beam to roller A was calculated. A And based on t0 and t B The transmission time T from the probe beam to roller B was calculated. B And based on t0 and tC The transmission time T from the probe beam to the idler roller C was calculated. C .

[0048] Step S240: Determine the position of the idler to be tested based on the transmission time, and determine the vibration state of the idler to be tested based on the detection electrical signal, so as to detect the motion state of the idler to be tested.

[0049] In one embodiment of this application, determining the position of the idler to be tested based on the transmission duration includes: acquiring the signal emission position of the initial optical signal; calculating the propagation distance of the optical signal based on the transmission duration and the speed of light, and determining the propagation distance as the detection distance between the idler to be tested and the signal emission position; and obtaining the position of the idler to be tested based on the signal emission position and the detection distance.

[0050] In one specific embodiment of this application, the signal transmission duration T calculated above is... A T B and T C The distance between the signal receiving point and the detector beam emitter can be calculated based on the speed of light propagation, and the calculated distance is S. A '、S B '、S C ', calculate the S A '、S B '、S C 'Respectively compared with the actual distance S A S B S C By comparing them one by one, we can obtain S. A 'with S A Equal, similarly we can obtain S B 'with S B If they are equal, we get S. C 'with S C They are equal, therefore t can be determined. A The scattered signal received at time t is the scattered signal of roller A. B The scattered signal received at time t is the scattered signal of roller B. C The scattered signal received at each time point is the scattered signal of roller C, and the frequency of the signal received at each time point is different. The scattered signal is converted into electrical signals to obtain signal A, signal B, and signal C respectively. Therefore, it can be determined that signal A is the detection electrical signal corresponding to roller A, signal B is the detection electrical signal corresponding to roller B, and signal C is the detection electrical signal corresponding to roller C.

[0051] In one embodiment of this application, determining the vibration state of the idler roller to be tested based on the detected electrical signal includes: obtaining a contrast scattering signal based on an initial optical signal and converting the contrast scattering signal into a standard electrical signal; obtaining a standard range based on the standard electrical signal; if the detected electrical signal is within the standard range, determining that the motion state of the idler roller to be tested is abnormal; if the detected electrical signal is outside the standard range, determining that the motion state of the idler roller to be tested is normal.

[0052] In one embodiment of this application, obtaining a standard interval based on a standard electrical signal includes: determining the difference between the standard electrical signal and a preset floating threshold as the minimum value of the standard electrical signal, and determining the sum of the standard electrical signal and the preset floating threshold as the maximum value of the standard electrical signal; and determining the electrical signal interval that is greater than or equal to the minimum value of the standard electrical signal and less than the maximum value of the standard electrical signal as the standard electrical signal interval.

[0053] In one specific embodiment of this application, taking a preset floating threshold of Δf as an example, the idler A to be tested is first obtained when the conveyor belt is not started, i.e., the idler is not moving. Its signal frequency is f0. Therefore, its standard frequency range can be calculated as (f0-Δf, f0+Δf). Based on the signal detection device set at the idler A to be tested, the scattered signal obtained is converted into a detection electrical signal with a signal frequency of f. A Further calculate f A The relationship with the standard frequency yields f. A >f0+Δf, therefore, f A If the frequency is outside the standard frequency range, the motion state of the idler roller A to be tested can be determined to be normal.

[0054] In another embodiment of this application, taking a preset floating threshold of Δf as an example, the signal frequency of the idler roller B to be tested is first obtained when the conveyor belt is not started and the idler roller is not moving. Therefore, its standard frequency range can be calculated as (f0-Δf, f0+Δf). Based on the signal detection device set at the idler roller B to be tested, the scattered signal obtained is converted into a detection electrical signal with a signal frequency of f. B Further calculate f B The relationship with the standard frequency yields f. B >f0-Δf, and f B <f0+Δf. Therefore, f B If the frequency is within the standard frequency range, the motion state of the idler roller B to be tested can be determined to be abnormal, that is, the working state of the idler roller B is abnormal.

[0055] In one embodiment of this application, after detecting the motion state of the idler roller to be tested, the method further includes: acquiring basic information of multiple idler rollers to be tested and multiple scattered signals, the basic information including position and standard electrical signal; converting the multiple scattered signals into multiple detection electrical signals, and constructing a signal mapping relationship between each scattered signal and each idler roller to be tested based on the propagation time of the multiple scattered signals; determining any detection electrical signal as a target electrical signal, and determining the idler roller to be tested that has a mapping relationship with the target electrical signal as the target idler roller, obtaining a standard electrical signal that has a corresponding relationship with the target electrical signal based on the signal mapping relationship, and comparing the target electrical signal with the obtained standard electrical signal to obtain the motion state of the target idler roller; and traversing all detection electrical signals to detect the motion state of all idler rollers to be tested.

[0056] In one embodiment of this application, idler rollers A, B, and C to be tested are arranged on a specific conveyor belt, and their respective detection electrical signal frequencies are f. A f B and f C The standard electrical signals for each point to be tested are f0, f1, and f2, respectively. Based on each standard electrical signal, the corresponding standard signal frequency is calculated, and the frequency of the detected electrical signal is f. A f B and f C The motion state of each idler roller to be tested is determined by comparing it with its corresponding standard signal frequency.

[0057] Figure 5 This is an exemplary embodiment of the present application illustrating a flowchart of the idler roller motion state detection process.

[0058] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the power is first turned on to start the belt conveyor, which causes the idlers mounted on the belt conveyor to rotate, and the eccentric block to rotate as well. The vibration signal is detected by the vibration transmission module and output to the optical cable tray. In addition, a detection beam is emitted by the light source emitting device and transmitted to the optical cable tray through distributed optical fiber. The detection beam will be scattered by the optical fiber, and the vibration signal will affect the scattering, thereby generating a new scattered signal. The photodetector of the receiving device receives the scattered signal and converts the received scattered signal into an electrical signal and sends it to the terminal detection system. The terminal detection system can then determine the motion state of each idler to be detected based on the vibration position, amplitude, and frequency information.

[0059] In one specific embodiment of this application, the idler roller to be tested includes idler roller A, idler roller B, and idler roller C. An eccentric block, a vibration transmission module, and an optical fiber tray are provided at each idler roller. After the belt conveyor is started, the eccentric block rotates and collides with the long pendulum needle of the vibration transmission module (including the contact end), generating relative motion. Under the action of the rotating shaft, the output end swings. During the swing, the pendulum needle strikes the optical fiber tray, generating a vibration signal. This vibration signal affects the scattering of the detection beam, thereby generating a scattered signal. The scattered signal is converted into a detection electrical signal by a signal receiving device, and the frequency f of the obtained detection electrical signal is... A f B and f C The motion states of idler A, idler B, and idler C under test are determined by comparing them with the frequencies f0, f1, and f2 of the standard electrical signals.

Figure 1 The implementation environment shown is not limited to this embodiment.

[0063] In addition, the signal acquisition device includes: a signal transmitter for emitting a probe beam and determining the signal of the probe beam as an initial optical signal; an eccentric block and vibration transmission module for generating a vibration signal based on the eccentric block and vibration transmission module during the movement of the roller; and a signal receiving device for receiving the initial optical signal and the vibration signal.
