Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a coal conveying gallery position feedback type inspection device and a working method, belonging to the technical field of coal conveying gallery inspection. Background Art

[0002] In a thermal power plant that uses coal as fuel, the coal needs to pass through multiple coal transportation corridors and multiple transfer stations during the process of being transported from coal ships or coal trucks to the boiler. Some coal transportation corridors can be up to one thousand meters long. During the transportation of coal in the coal transportation corridors, coal powder may float and accumulate in cable troughs or other corners.

[0003] The Chinese patent number CN216229371U discloses a coal conveyor belt corridor track inspection robot, which includes a track with an I-shaped cross-section, an inspection robot body that travels along the lower wing plate of the track, and the inspection robot body includes a frame, and auxiliary wheels that travel along the top surface of the lower wing plate of the track and positioning wheels that roll along the vertical side walls of the rail waist of the track are provided on the top of the frame; a camera is provided at the bottom of the frame; dust removal brushes are provided on both sides of the frame in a direction parallel to the auxiliary wheels, and dust dumping grooves are obliquely provided on the frame on the outside of the dust removal brushes and in the same direction as the dust removal brushes. The camera can collect the situation in the track and clean the corridor at the same time, but the location of the abnormal situation cannot be fed back. The camera can only capture the approximate location and cannot locate the exact location of the corridor.

[0004] Although it is cleaned regularly, there is still a risk of fire caused by spontaneous combustion of coal powder. At the same time, carbon monoxide may be produced in the coal transportation corridor due to spontaneous combustion of coal powder, which poses a threat to the lives of the workers in the corridor. The existing coal transportation corridor inspection devices are either complex in structure and difficult to maintain, or cannot provide feedback on the location of abnormal situations, which will cause inconvenience to maintenance personnel or operators.

[0015] S1: The upper end of the I-shaped guide rail in the inspection device is fixed in the coal conveying corridor, and the operator sends a signal to control the inspection vehicle through the main control computer. When the inspection vehicle receives the automatic inspection command sent by the main control computer, the inspection vehicle moves forward along the I-shaped guide rail;

[0016] S2: When the inspection vehicle passes the positioning card, the positioning card communication module exchanges information with the positioning card to obtain the serial number of the positioning card, and then obtains the location information of the inspection vehicle and replaces it with the original location information data;

[0017] S3: During the walking process, the data measured by the carbon monoxide detection module and the data collected by the thermal imaging camera are transmitted to the single-chip microcomputer for analysis, and are transmitted to the main control computer through the 4G communication module to determine whether the inspection vehicle continues to walk;

[0037] A shielding plate 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the X-shaped support frame 201, and a coal pushing plate 203 is fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the shielding plate 202; the shielding plate 202 is used to shield coal powder to prevent the coal powder from falling between the two walking wheels 207 and hindering walking, and the coal pushing plate 203 is used to push away the coal powder on the walking route. Specifically, the coal pushing plate 203 is a V-shaped steel plate. The bottom of the coal pushing plate 203 abuts against the lower side plate of the I-shaped guide rail 100, and the lower side plate of the I-shaped guide rail 100 is provided with through holes at intervals, and the coal powder pushed by the coal pushing plate 203 falls from the interval through holes of the lower side plate of the I-shaped guide rail 100.

[0038] The front and rear sides of the top of the baffle plate 202 are connected with guide wheel fixing rods 204, which pass through the baffle plate 202 and the lower end of which is fixed with guide wheels 205; the guide wheels 205 are used to prevent the inspection trolley 200 from deviating left and right when walking, and the center of the X-shaped support frame 201 is connected with a clamping wheel 208, which is used to prevent the inspection trolley 200 from bumping up and down.
