Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transportation equipment, and in particular to an intelligent inspection device and inspection method for a belt conveyor. Background Art

[0002] Belt conveyors offer advantages such as large transport capacity, long transport distances, and low energy consumption, making them widely used in coal, mining, ports, power generation, metallurgy, and chemical industries. As a crucial transportation tool in coal mining, belt conveyors play a crucial role in coal mining production, and their operational safety is crucial to the safety of the entire coal mine. Therefore, to ensure the safe and efficient transportation of materials, belt conveyor inspections are necessary to verify their normal operation.

[0003] Currently, manual inspections are heavily influenced by individual experience, prone to false detections and missed inspections, which can pose safety risks. Recorded data lacks reliability, data aggregation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, information lags significantly, and personnel are prone to fatigue. Existing belt inspection robots can effectively assist manual inspections in resolving these issues.

[0004] Existing belt inspection machines patrol back and forth along the conveyor belt track, monitoring the belt's operating status in real time. However, over extended periods of time, dust accumulates on the inspection area of ​​the inspection camera. This accumulation of dust can affect the camera's image quality, compromising the conveyor belt's inspection status and potentially leading to transport failures. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide an intelligent inspection device and inspection method for a belt conveyor to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An intelligent inspection device for a belt conveyor comprises: a bracket on which a conveyor belt for transporting goods is mounted;

[0008] A reciprocating assembly is provided on a top plate connected to the bracket, and includes a reciprocating member slidably provided on the top plate, and an inspection machine is provided on the reciprocating member. When the reciprocating assembly is in operation, the reciprocating member can drive the inspection machine to reciprocate along the length direction of the top plate, thereby inspecting the condition between the conveyor belt and the bracket;

[0009] The wiping assembly is arranged on a storage plate fixedly connected to the reciprocating member, and includes a movable plate slidably arranged on the storage plate, and a trigger member is provided on the movable plate. When the reciprocating member moves, the movable plate cooperates with the abutment member fixedly arranged on the bracket to drive the trigger member to operate, and during the operation of the trigger member, the trigger member can cooperate with the elastic structure arranged on the storage plate to drive the wiping member arranged on the trigger member to wipe the inspection machine.

[0010] As described above, in the intelligent inspection device for belt conveyors, the reciprocating member comprises a reciprocating plate slidably arranged on the top plate, and a sliding groove is provided on a side of the reciprocating plate facing the top plate.

[0011] The intelligent inspection device for belt conveyors as described above: the reciprocating component also includes a pulley rotatably mounted on the top plate, and two groups of pulleys are arranged along the length direction of the top plate, a belt is arranged between the two groups of pulleys, a protrusion is fixedly arranged on the belt, and the protrusion is slidably arranged in the slide groove, and one group of the pulleys is connected to a linkage rod rotatably mounted on the top plate through a bevel gear set, and the linkage rod is connected to the transport roller of the transport belt through a linkage belt.

[0012] The intelligent inspection device for belt conveyor as described above: the trigger member includes a trigger block, the trigger block is connected to the movable plate via a connecting structure, and a first locking groove, a first inclined groove, a second inclined groove and a second locking groove are formed on the trigger block.

[0013] As described above, the intelligent inspection device for belt conveyors: the connection structure includes a fixed sleeve provided on the trigger block, the fixed sleeve is connected to a fixed rod provided on the movable plate, and two sets of baffles are symmetrically formed on the fixed rod.

[0014] The intelligent inspection device for the belt conveyor as described above: the elastic structure includes a plug-in rod fixedly arranged on the storage plate, a plug-in cylinder is slidably arranged on the plug-in rod, a spring is slidably arranged in the plug-in cylinder, one end of the spring abuts against the plug-in rod, and the other end abuts against the bottom of the plug-in cylinder, and the plug-in cylinder is rotatably installed with a pulley that cooperates with the trigger block at one end away from the plug-in rod.

[0015] As described above, the intelligent inspection device for belt conveyor: the wiping member includes a mounting rod fixedly arranged on the trigger block, a wiping roller is rotatably mounted on the mounting rod, a driving gear is coaxially fixed on the wiping roller, and the driving gear cooperates with a tooth plate fixedly arranged on the storage plate.

[0016] As described above, in the intelligent inspection device for belt conveyors, the abutment member comprises abutment plates fixedly arranged on the bracket, and two groups of abutment plates are symmetrically fixedly arranged along the length direction of the top plate, and the two groups of abutment plates cooperate with the movable plate.

[0017] A belt conveyor intelligent inspection method is also proposed, which uses the belt conveyor intelligent inspection device as described above and includes the following steps:

[0018] Step 1: Start the conveyor belt. The conveyor rollers that continuously rotate in the same direction will drive the linkage rod to rotate, and then, under the connection of the bevel gear set, drive the pulleys to continuously rotate in the same direction.

[0019] Step 2: The pulleys rotate continuously in the same direction, driving the belt to rotate continuously. At this time, the protrusions fixed to the belt drive the reciprocating plate to drive the inspection machine to reciprocate along the length of the top plate, thereby monitoring the status between the side of the conveyor belt and the bracket;

[0020] Step 3: When the reciprocating plate moves close to the linkage rod, the movable plate, under the contact of the abutment plate, drives the trigger block to slide relative to the loading plate. During this process, the pulley, in cooperation with the trigger block, further compresses the spring until the reciprocating plate reaches the end of its stroke, the pulley passes over the connection between the first and second inclined slots, and the spring releases its elastic potential energy, driving the trigger block to move relative to the movable plate.

[0021] Step 4: When the trigger block moves, the wiping roller set on the trigger block will first rotate under the cooperation of the driving gear and the toothed plate to remove the dust on the wiping roller. Then the wiping roller stops rotating and quickly wipes the camera of the inspection machine;

[0022] Step 5: Then, the reciprocating plate moves in the opposite direction, and the moving plate repeats steps 3 and 4, so that the inspection machine can continuously inspect the conveyor belt while the conveyor belt is moving.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] By setting up a reciprocating assembly, the cooperation between the transport roller and the pulley is used to drive the belt to rotate continuously. Then, under the cooperation between the protruding column and the slide groove, the reciprocating plate drives the inspection machine to slide back and forth along the length direction of the top plate, thereby monitoring the status of the conveyor belt;

[0025] At the same time, by setting up a wiping component, utilizing the cooperation between the movable plate, the abutting plate, the trigger block and the elastic structure, the wiping roller set on the trigger block can be driven to quickly wipe the dust from the camera of the inspection machine, so as to avoid the dust accumulated on the camera of the inspection machine for a long time affecting the camera quality of the inspection machine camera, and at the same time, the rapidly moving wiping roller will not cause camera obstruction to the inspection machine;

[0026] And during the movement of the wiping roller, the cooperation between the tooth plate and the gear can enable the wiping roller to first shake off the dust particles on the wiping roller when wiping the camera, so that the wiping roller will not scratch the camera due to the presence of dust particles.

[0036] Various exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the accompanying drawings represent elements with the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless otherwise indicated.

[0037] The word “exemplary” is used exclusively herein to mean “serving as an example, example, or illustration.” Any embodiment described herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

[0038] In addition, numerous specific details are provided in the following specific examples to better illustrate the present application. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present application can be practiced without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, and components well known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail in order to highlight the main purpose of the present application.

[0039] See also Figures 1-8 In an embodiment of the present invention, a belt conveyor intelligent inspection device includes:

[0040] A bracket 1, on which a conveyor belt 2 for transporting goods is mounted;

[0041] For details, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 Two groups of transport rollers 3 are rotatably mounted on the above-mentioned bracket 1, and a transport belt 2 is arranged between the two groups of transport rollers 3, and any one group of the transport rollers 3 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 101 fixedly arranged on the bracket 1 through a linkage belt. When in use, the motor 101 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 101 that continuously rotates in the same direction will drive the transport rollers 3 to continuously rotate in the same direction, and then drive the transport belt 2 to transport the goods.

[0042] A reciprocating assembly is provided on a top plate 102 connected to the bracket 1, and includes a reciprocating member slidably provided on the top plate 102. The reciprocating member is provided with an inspection machine 10. When the reciprocating assembly is in operation, the reciprocating member can drive the inspection machine 10 to reciprocate along the length direction of the top plate 102, thereby inspecting the condition between the conveyor belt 2 and the bracket 1;

[0043] The reciprocating member includes a reciprocating plate 7 slidably arranged on the top plate 102 , and a sliding groove 701 is provided on the side of the reciprocating plate 7 facing the top plate 102 ;

[0044] For details, please refer to Figure 4The above-mentioned reciprocating plate 7 is fixedly provided with two sets of clamping rods 702 along its length direction on one side facing the top plate 102, and the clamping rods 702 are slidably arranged in the clamping grooves 103 opened on the top plate 102. Under the cooperation between the clamping rods 702 and the clamping grooves 103, the reciprocating plate 7 can only slide along the length direction of the top plate 102, and when the reciprocating plate 7 slides, the inspection machine 10 set on the reciprocating plate 7 will monitor the transportation trajectory of the conveyor belt 2. During the monitoring, the inspection machine 10 will monitor the situation between the side of the conveyor belt 2 and the bracket 1, so as to determine whether there is spilled material accumulated between the side of the conveyor belt 2 and the bracket 1. When the inspection machine 10 detects that there is material accumulation between the two, the sensor inside the inspection machine 10 will send a signal to control the inspection machine 10 to take pictures of the material accumulation place, so as to avoid the friction between the conveyor belt 2 and the material caused by long-term operation of the conveyor belt 2, which may cause the conveyor belt 2 to overheat or the conveyor roller 3 to be stuck by the material.

[0045] The reciprocating assembly further includes a pulley 5 rotatably mounted on the top plate 102, wherein two groups of pulleys 5 are provided along the length direction of the top plate 102, a belt 12 is provided between the two groups of pulleys 5, a protrusion 1201 is fixedly provided on the belt 12, and the protrusion 1201 is slidably provided in the slide groove 701, and one group of the pulleys 5 is connected to a linkage rod 9 rotatably mounted on the top plate 102 through a bevel gear set 6, and the linkage rod 9 is connected to the transport roller 3 of the transport belt 2 through a linkage belt;

[0046] Preferably, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The above-mentioned bevel gear set 6 includes a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear. The first bevel gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the linkage rod 9, and the second bevel gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the pulley 5 close to the motor 101. When the motor 101 is started and the transport roller 3 is driven to rotate continuously in the same direction, the linkage rod 9 connected to the transport roller 3 through the linkage belt will rotate synchronously with the transport roller 3. Then, the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear enter into a meshing transmission state, which will drive the pulley 5 to rotate synchronously with the transport roller 3, and then drive the belt 12 to rotate continuously in the same direction;

[0047] When the belt 12 continues to rotate in the same direction, the protrusion 1201 fixed on the belt 12 will slide in the slide groove 701. During sliding, the contact and compression between the protrusion 1201 and the wall of the slide groove 701 will force the reciprocating plate 7 to slide back and forth along the clamping groove 103, thereby driving the inspection machine 10 to monitor the material between the side of the conveyor belt 2 and the bracket 1.

[0048] For further information, see Figures 1-8The intelligent inspection device of the belt conveyor further comprises a wiping assembly arranged on the placement plate 8 fixedly connected with the reciprocating member, the wiping assembly comprising a moving plate 22 slidingly arranged on the placement plate 8, the moving plate 22 being provided with a trigger, the moving plate 22 being capable of cooperating with an abutting piece fixedly arranged on the bracket 1 when the reciprocating member moves, so as to drive the trigger to act, and the trigger being capable of cooperating with an elastic structure arranged on the placement plate 8 during the action of the trigger, so as to drive a wiping piece arranged on the trigger to wipe the inspection machine 10.

[0049] The abutting piece comprises two groups of abutting plates 4 fixedly arranged on the bracket 1, the two groups of abutting plates 4 being symmetrical with respect to the length direction of the top plate 102 and cooperating with the moving plate 22.

[0050] Preferably, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 The side of the moving plate 22 facing the inspection machine 10 is fixedly provided with a T-shaped block 2201 slidingly arranged in a T-shaped groove 801 formed in the placement plate 8, in particular, the sliding friction coefficient between the T-shaped block 2201 and the T-shaped groove 801 is large, so that the moving plate 22 will not slide relative to the placement plate 8 due to the movement of the reciprocating plate 7 when the belt 12 drives the reciprocating plate 7 to reciprocate.

[0051] In combination with the above, in the initial state, referring to Figure 1 The T-shaped block 2201 of the moving plate 22 is in contact with the right end of the travel of the T-shaped groove 801, at this time, the left side of the moving plate 22 is in contact with the abutting plate 4 on the left side of the bracket 1, when the conveying belt 2 performs the conveying operation, the continuously rotating belt 12 will drive the reciprocating plate 7 to move towards the right side of the bracket 1 under the cooperation of the protruding column 1201 and the sliding groove 701, during the process that the reciprocating plate 7 drives the placement plate 8 to move towards the right side of the bracket 1 and gradually approaches the end of the travel, the right side of the moving plate 22 will be in contact with the abutting plate 4, accompanied by the continuous movement of the reciprocating plate 7, due to the limitation of the fixed abutting plate 4, the reciprocating plate 7 drives the placement plate 8 to move relative to the moving plate 22, until the reciprocating plate 7 moves to the end of the travel, the T-shaped block 2201 of the moving plate 22 is in contact with the left end of the travel of the T-shaped groove 801, immediately, the trigger will slide relative to the moving plate 22 under the cooperation of the elastic structure, so as to wipe the camera 1001 of the inspection machine 10.

[0052] Further, referring to Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8The trigger member includes a trigger block 15, which is connected to the movable plate 22 via a connecting structure. A first locking groove 1501, a first inclined groove 1502, a second inclined groove 1503, and a second locking groove 1504 are formed on the trigger block 15, and the first locking groove 1501, the first inclined groove 1502, the second inclined groove 1503, and the second locking groove 1504 are symmetrically arranged.

[0053] The connection structure includes a fixed sleeve 16 provided on the trigger block 15, the fixed sleeve 16 is connected to a fixed rod 21 provided on the movable plate 22, and two sets of blocking pieces 2101 are symmetrically formed on the fixed rod 21;

[0054] Preferably, the middle section of the fixing rod 21 is arranged in a cross-like structure, and the fixing sleeve 16 is adapted to the fixing rod 21, so that the trigger block 15 can only slide along the axial direction of the fixing rod 21. In particular, a damping sleeve is provided between the fixing sleeve 16 and the fixing rod 21. The section of the fixing rod 21 arranged in the cross-like structure is less than half the distance between the first locking groove 1501 and the second locking groove 1504. The length of the T-slot 801 is greater than half the distance between the first locking groove 1501 and the second locking groove 1504.

[0055] The elastic structure includes a plug rod 18 fixedly arranged on the storage plate 8, a plug tube 17 is slidably arranged on the plug rod 18, and a spring 19 is slidably arranged in the plug tube 17. One end of the spring 19 abuts against the plug rod 18, and the other end abuts against the bottom of the plug tube 17. The end of the plug tube 17 away from the plug rod 18 is rotatably mounted with a pulley 20 that cooperates with the trigger block 15;

[0056] For details, please refer to Figure 5 、 Figure 6, the spring 19 is always in a compressed state, in the initial state, the above-mentioned pulley 20 is combined with the first locking groove 1501, the fixed sleeve 16 is attached to the right side of the blocking piece 2101 of the fixed rod 21, in combination with the above, when the moving plate 22 contacts the abutting plate 4, the reciprocating plate 7 continues to move, which drives the elastic structure and the storage plate 8 to move relative to the moving plate 22, during the movement, the pulley 20 will gradually separate from the first locking groove 1501, and then move along the first inclined groove 1502, during this process, the elastic potential energy stored in the spring 19 will gradually increase, until the left side wall of the T-shaped groove 801 contacts the T-shaped block 2201, the pulley 20 passes over the first inclined groove 1502 and is combined with the second inclined groove 1503, at this time, the spring 19 releases the elastic potential energy to cause contact and extrusion of the second inclined groove 1503, thereby forcing the trigger block 15 to move rapidly along the axial direction of the fixed rod 21 towards the left side of the blocking piece 2101 on the fixed rod 21, thereby driving the wiping member provided on the trigger block 15 to quickly wipe the camera 1001 on the inspection machine 10, avoiding the wiping member from causing camera obstruction to the inspection machine 10, and using the wiping of the wiping member to improve the shooting clarity of the inspection machine 10.

[0057] The wiping member comprises a mounting rod 1505 fixedly provided on the trigger block 15, a wiping roller 11 rotatably mounted on the mounting rod 1505, and a driving gear 13 coaxially fixedly provided on the wiping roller 11, which cooperates with a toothed plate 14 fixedly provided on the storage plate 8.

[0058] In particular, please refer to Figure 8 The above-mentioned toothed plate 14 is provided with two groups, which are symmetrically arranged about the reciprocating plate 7 and located on the left and right sides of the camera 1001 of the inspection machine 10, during the movement of the above-mentioned reciprocating plate 7, the driving gear 13 will first enter the meshing transmission state with one of the two groups of toothed plates 14 (i.e. when the reciprocating plate 7 slides relative to the moving plate 22), at this time, the driving gear 13 will drive the wiping roller 11 to rotate, when the wiping roller 11 rotates, the dust or particles adhered to the wiping roller 11 will be thrown off, and when the trigger block 15 automatically slides relative to the fixed rod 21 to drive the wiping roller 11 to wipe the camera 1001, the wiping roller 11 will not scratch the camera 1001 due to the presence of particles and dust, after the wiping roller 11 is separated from the camera 1001, the trigger block 15 continues to move, which will make the driving gear 13 combine with the other group of toothed plates 14, and then drive the wiping roller 11 to throw off the dust just wiped off, so as to facilitate the wiping work of the wiping roller 11 next time.

[0059] Also proposed is a belt conveyor intelligent inspection method, which adopts the belt conveyor intelligent inspection device as described above, and comprises the following steps:

[0060] Step 1: Start the conveyor belt 2. The conveyor rollers 3 that continuously rotate in the same direction will drive the linkage rod 9 to rotate. Then, under the connection of the bevel gear set 6, the pulley 5 will be driven to continuously rotate in the same direction.

[0061] Step 2: The pulley 5, which rotates continuously in the same direction, drives the belt 12 to rotate continuously. At this time, the protruding post 1201 fixed to the belt 12 drives the reciprocating plate 7 to drive the inspection machine 10 to reciprocate along the length direction of the top plate 102, thereby monitoring the status between the side of the conveyor belt 2 and the bracket 1;

[0062] Step 3: When the reciprocating plate 7 moves close to the linkage rod 9, the movable plate 22, under the contact of the abutment plate 4, drives the trigger block 15 to slide relative to the loading plate 8. During this process, the pulley 20, in cooperation with the trigger block 15, further compresses the spring 19 until the reciprocating plate 7 moves to the end of its stroke. The pulley 20 passes over the connection between the first inclined slot 1502 and the second inclined slot 1503. Then, the spring 19 releases its elastic potential energy, driving the trigger block 15 to move relative to the movable plate 22.

[0063] Step 4: When the trigger block 15 moves, the wiping roller 11 provided on the trigger block 15 will first rotate under the cooperation of the driving gear 13 and the tooth plate 14 to remove the dust on the wiping roller 11. Then, the wiping roller 11 stops rotating and quickly wipes the camera 1001 of the inspection machine 10.

[0064] Step 5: Then, the reciprocating plate 7 moves in the reverse direction, and the moving plate 22 repeats steps 3 and 4, so that the inspection machine 10 can continuously inspect the conveyor belt 2 when the conveyor belt 2 moves.

[0065] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included therein.

4. The intelligent inspection device for a belt conveyor according to claim 1, characterized in that: The wiping member comprises a mounting rod (1505) fixedly mounted on the trigger block (15); a wiping roller (11) is rotatably mounted on the mounting rod (1505); a driving gear (13) is coaxially fixedly mounted on the wiping roller (11); the driving gear (13) cooperates with a toothed plate (14) fixedly mounted on the storage plate (8).

5. The intelligent inspection device for a belt conveyor according to claim 1, characterized in that: The abutment member comprises an abutment plate (4) fixedly arranged on the bracket (1), and two groups of the abutment plates (4) are symmetrically fixedly arranged along the length direction of the top plate (102), and the two groups of the abutment plates (4) cooperate with the movable plate (22).

6. A belt conveyor intelligent inspection method, characterized in that: The intelligent inspection device for a belt conveyor according to claim 1 comprises the following steps: Step 1: Start the conveyor belt (2), and the conveyor roller (3) that continuously rotates in the same direction will drive the linkage rod (9) to rotate, and then drive the pulley (5) to continuously rotate in the same direction under the connection of the bevel gear set (6); Step 2: The pulley (5) that continuously rotates in the same direction drives the belt (12) to rotate continuously. At this time, the protruding column (1201) fixedly arranged on the belt (12) drives the reciprocating plate (7) to drive the inspection machine (10) to reciprocate along the length direction of the top plate (102), thereby monitoring the status between the side of the conveyor belt (2) and the bracket (1); Step 3: When the reciprocating plate (7) moves to a position close to one end of the linkage rod (9), the movable plate (22) drives the trigger block (15) to slide relative to the storage plate (8) under the contact of the contact plate (4). During this process, the pulley (20) further compresses the spring (19) in cooperation with the trigger block (15) until the reciprocating plate (7) moves to the end of the stroke, the pulley (20) passes over the connection between the first inclined slot (1502) and the second inclined slot (1503), and then the spring (19) releases the elastic potential energy to drive the trigger block (15) to move relative to the movable plate (22); Step 4: When the trigger block (15) moves, the wiping roller (11) provided on the trigger block (15) will first rotate in cooperation with the driving gear (13) and the tooth plate (14) to remove dust from the wiping roller (11), and then the wiping roller (11) that stops rotating will quickly wipe the camera (1001) of the inspection machine (10); Step 5: Then, the reciprocating plate (7) moves in the reverse direction, and steps 3 and 4 are repeated, so that the inspection machine (10) can continuously inspect the conveyor belt (2) while the conveyor belt (2) is moving.
