[0040] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, so that the present invention can fully understand how to apply technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects, and thus implement the invention accordingly. It should be noted that, as long as no conflict exists, the various embodiments of the present invention and the various features of the embodiments can be combined with each other, and the resulting technical solutions are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] When belt conveyors operate continuously at high speeds and heavy loads for extended periods, or when transporting hard, sharp ores, the belts in their drive systems are vulnerable components. Therefore, monitoring belt tears not only improves maintenance efficiency but is also crucial for safe operation. Currently, belt conveyor belt monitoring is often performed manually, which is costly and time-consuming, and can also lead to subjective omissions.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, an embodiment of the present invention provides a belt conveyor belt fault diagnosis method.

[0044] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for diagnosing belt faults of a belt conveyor according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the belt conveyor belt fault diagnosis method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps.

[0045] Step S101: Acquire a target belt characteristic map of a belt conveyor.

[0046] Specifically, industrial cameras are installed around the belt conveyor to capture working images of the belt conveyor. The industrial cameras are used to capture a belt feature image of the belt conveyor. To distinguish it from other belt feature images, this embodiment uses the newly captured belt feature image of the belt conveyor as the target belt feature image.

[0047] Step S102: transmitting the target belt characteristic diagram to the fault diagnosis model, and the fault diagnosis model outputs the state information and type data of the target belt characteristic diagram.

[0048] Specifically, a fault diagnosis model is first obtained. The fault diagnosis model is obtained by downloading or other reasonable means to obtain the belt conveyor's historical belt data. This data is periodic data for the belt conveyor and includes multiple belt history data. Each belt history data record includes fields such as a timestamp, device number, component number, and status code. The status code includes status information and a belt characteristic diagram. If the status code indicates a fault, the status code also includes the fault type, repair recommendations, and fault level. In other words, the belt history data includes both normal operation data and fault data for the belt conveyor.

[0049] Furthermore, the fault types in the belt's historical data include longitudinal scratches (long, narrow scratches on the belt surface) and transverse fractures (cracks on the belt edge), and each fault type is classified as either minor or severe. Each fault type is assessed differently. For example, for longitudinal scratches, a fault length greater than 10 cm is considered a severe fault; otherwise, it is considered a minor fault. For transverse fractures, a fault length greater than 5 cm is considered a major fault; otherwise, it is considered a minor fault.

[0050] For the belt history data, labels are set for the corresponding belt feature maps based on the status code information, fault type, and fault level in the belt history data to obtain a training sample set. The training sample set is then divided into a training data set and a validation data set.

[0051] Based on all fault types in the belt's historical data and the fault weight of each fault type, appropriate SMO algorithm parameters are selected, including kernel function type, penalty coefficient, etc., and their optimal values ​​are determined through cross-validation and other methods to obtain the initial training model.

[0052] The primary training model is trained based on the training dataset and evaluated based on the validation dataset. Metrics such as accuracy, recall, and F-value are calculated to assess the model's performance. If these metrics do not meet the requirements, the model is retrained based on the training dataset until they meet the requirements. This results in a fault diagnosis model.

[0053] After acquiring the fault diagnosis model, the target belt characteristic map is transferred to the fault diagnosis model, which then outputs the target belt characteristic map's status information and type data. The target belt characteristic map's status information can be either faulty or normal. When the target belt characteristic map's status information is normal, the corresponding type data is empty. If the target belt characteristic map's status information is faulty, the corresponding type data includes the target maintenance recommendation and the target fault level, and the process then proceeds to step S103.

[0054] Step S103, when the status information of the target belt characteristic diagram is fault, obtain target maintenance suggestions from the fault diagnosis database based on the target fault type in the type data, and generate analysis maintenance data of the target belt characteristic diagram based on the target fault level and target maintenance suggestions in the type data.

[0055] Specifically, a fault diagnosis database must be obtained. This is accomplished by first acquiring historical belt data, then extracting all belt fault data from this data. This data is then categorized and integrated based on fault type to create a fault diagnosis database. The database includes multiple fault types, along with corresponding repair recommendations and fault weights. The fault weight is the number of belt fault types identified in the total number of belt fault data.

[0056] The maintenance suggestions in the belt history data can add detailed maintenance instructions to the maintenance suggestions for the corresponding fault types in the fault diagnosis database for fault types that occur more frequently (that is, when the fault weight of the fault type is higher). This can further improve maintenance efficiency and equipment reliability.

[0057] After obtaining the fault diagnosis database, the target repair suggestion corresponding to the target fault type in the acquired type data can be obtained from the fault diagnosis database. The target repair suggestion specifically includes: matching the target fault type with all fault types in the fault diagnosis database to obtain a matching fault type; then determining whether the matching fault type has a corresponding repair suggestion. If so, the corresponding repair suggestion is used as the target repair suggestion. When there are many fault types or a new fault type appears, the belt history data may not have a corresponding repair suggestion for that fault type. In this case, a general repair suggestion can be used as the target repair suggestion for that fault type. Preferably, the repair suggestion can be set to replace the belt.

[0058] After obtaining the target maintenance recommendations, the target fault level and target maintenance recommendations in the acquired type data are used to generate analytical maintenance data for the target belt characteristic map. This data is then sent to the front-end server, where staff can design a maintenance plan based on the recommendations and fault level. For example, if the fault level is severe, indicating that the fault may affect the normal operation of the belt conveyor, an emergency maintenance plan is required. On the other hand, if the fault level is minor, indicating that the fault is unlikely to affect the normal operation of the belt conveyor, maintenance can be postponed until the belt conveyor stops operating.

[0059] Step S104: sending the analysis and maintenance data of the target belt characteristic diagram and the target belt characteristic diagram to the front-end server.

[0060] Specifically, the analysis and maintenance data of the target belt characteristic diagram and the target belt characteristic diagram are sent to the front-end server for staff to review and save the target belt characteristic diagram fault diagnosis data and results to the memory. When the data in the memory reaches a certain level, all the stored data is added to the belt historical data to update the belt historical data. At the same time, a new fault diagnosis model and a new fault diagnosis database are obtained based on the updated belt historical data.

[0061] The belt conveyor belt fault diagnosis method provided by the embodiments of the present invention enables timely fault detection and elimination, preventing further development and serious consequences. It also alleviates the problems of large numbers of operators and long working hours during manual inspections of belt conveyor belts, effectively saving human resources and overhaul costs, improving belt maintenance efficiency, and reducing equipment maintenance costs. This method can diagnose the cause of belt tearing failures, achieving an 80% diagnostic accuracy based on historical test data sets. Application of this method is expected to improve maintenance efficiency, shorten overhaul time, and avoid the economic losses caused by serious failures.
