[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] like Figures 1-7 As shown:
[0031] A coal conveyor belt 3 speed protection device includes a roller 2 that supports the operation of the belt 3, and a transport support 1 that is rotatably mounted on the roller 2. Several detectors 4 for detecting belt 3 deviation are fixedly installed on the transport support 1.
[0032] The detector 4 is set in the enclosed space of the belt 3. The detector 4 includes an inclination detection part 41 for detecting the inclination angle at a small cross section of the belt 3 and an offset detection part 42 for detecting belt deviation. The detection end of the inclination detection part 41 contacts the return surface of the belt 3 and rotates synchronously. The inclination detection part 41 and the offset detection part 42 are fixedly connected by an elastic bracket 43. The offset detection part 42 is fixedly connected to the transport bracket 1 by a fixed bracket 44. The inclination detection part 41 is located on the upstream side of the belt 3 in the direction of rotation, relative to the offset detection part 42.
[0033] In an optional embodiment, the tilt detection unit 41 includes a pressure sensor 4102 and a detection wheel 4104 fixed relative to the elastic bracket 43. The detection end of the pressure sensor 4102 is fixedly connected to the rotating wheel bracket 4103, and one end of the rotating wheel bracket 4103 is rotatably connected to the detection wheel 4104. The detection wheel 4104 contacts the return surface of the belt 3 and rotates synchronously.
[0034] In an optional embodiment, one end of the elastic bracket 43 is fixedly connected to a mounting sleeve 4101, and a pressure sensor 4102 is fixedly connected to the inner side of one end of the mounting sleeve 4101.
[0035] In an optional embodiment, the offset detection unit 42 includes a housing 4201, a rotating shaft 4202, and an angle sensor 4206 for detecting the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 4202. The outer side of the housing 4201 is fixedly connected to the transport bracket 1 via a fixed bracket 44, and the rotating shaft 4202 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the housing 4201. One end of the rotating shaft 4202 extending out of the housing 4201 is fixed relative to the other end of the elastic bracket 43.
[0036] In an optional embodiment, a drive gear 4204 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 4202 located in the internal space of the housing 4201. One end of the drive gear 4204 is meshed with a driven gear 4205. The center position of the driven gear 4205 is fixedly connected to the outside of the main shaft of the angle sensor 4206. The angle sensor 4206 is fixedly installed on the inside of one end of the housing 4201.
[0037] In an optional embodiment, a fixing cylinder 4203 is fixedly connected to the outer side of one end of the rotating shaft 4202 that extends out of the outer casing 4201, and the outer surface of the fixing cylinder 4203 is fixedly connected to the other end of the elastic bracket 43.
[0038] In this embodiment: For example, wear or coal sticking on the roller surface, failure or coal sticking on the idler roller 2, or uneven material distribution can all cause the belt 3 to tilt during operation. That is, from the cross-sectional view of the belt 3, the belt 3 tilts. When the belt 3 tilts, the force on the belt 3 becomes uneven. If this uneven force affects the continuous operation of the entire belt 3, it will cause the belt 3 to run off-track. Severe belt misalignment will increase the contact pressure between the belt 3 and the directional roller. Continued operation will lead to damage and scratches on the belt 3. Through the cooperation of the tilt detection unit 41 and the offset detection unit 42, the tilt and misalignment of the belt 3 can be understood in a timely manner, improving the efficiency of the operator's monitoring and reducing the damage rate of the belt 3.
[0039] The tilting of belt 3 can be divided into two types: normal tilting and abnormal tilting. The tilting of belt 3 within a controllable range caused by non-equipment failure is considered normal tilting. Conversely, the tilting of belt 3 caused by equipment failure or coal adhesion is considered abnormal tilting. For example, the causes of normal tilting of belt 3 include uneven material distribution. The causes of abnormal tilting of belt 3 include wear or coal adhesion on the roller surface, failure or coal adhesion on idler roller 2. Such failures cause belt 3 to tilt in a certain periodicity. For example, if there is coal adhesion on a certain idler roller 2, then belt 3 will tilt when passing through that idler roller 2.
[0040] The tilt detection unit 41 can detect the tilt data of belt 3. Based on this data, it can be analyzed whether the tilt of belt 3 is normal and whether the tilt range of belt 3 is within the controllable range. If the tilt of belt 3 exceeds the controllable range, or if the tilt does not exceed the controllable range but a device malfunction or coal adhesion occurs, the entire device needs to be inspected. This can improve the efficiency of the operator's monitoring and reduce the damage rate of belt 3. Since the detection wheel 4104 contacts the return surface of belt 3 and rotates synchronously, the rotation of belt 3 can drive the detection wheel 4104 to rotate. The pressure on the detection wheel 4104 is transmitted to the detection end of pressure sensor 4102 through the wheel bracket 4103, thereby detecting the tilt by pressure sensor 4102. The pressure applied by the belt 3 to the detection wheel 4104 can be adjusted to prevent damage to the belt 3 or the tilt detection part 41 due to excessive contact pressure between the detection wheel 4104 and the belt 3. Since two tilt detection parts 41 are installed on one detector 4, the changes in the tilt of the belt 3 can be detected more effectively. The running cycle of the belt 3 is calculated based on the length and rotation speed of the belt 3. If the same tilt detection part 41 detects a change in the tilt of the belt 3 that is related to the running cycle of the belt 3, it can be predicted that the coal conveying device has malfunctioned or that coal is stuck. The coal conveying device can then be inspected manually.
[0041] The misalignment of belt 3 is related to the tilt of belt 3. Therefore, avoiding the tilt of belt 3 can reduce the occurrence of belt misalignment to a certain extent.
[0042] When belt 3 deviates from its designated path, it can be detected by the offset detection unit 42. Assuming belt 3 runs absolutely smoothly, the position of the detection wheel 4104 relative to belt 3 is also fixed. Since the tilt detection unit 41 can rotate around the offset detection unit 42, meaning it has a fixed center of rotation, when belt 3 deviates, it will cause the tilt detection unit 41 to move along with it, thus rotating the tilt detection unit 41 around the offset detection unit 42 by a certain angle. Specifically, when belt 3 deviates, it will cause the tilt detection unit 41 to move, and the tilt detection unit will rotate... When the measuring unit 41 moves, it drives the fixed cylinder 4203 through the elastic bracket 43, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 4202 to rotate. The rotating shaft 4202 drives the driving gear 4204, which in turn drives the driven gear 4205 to rotate. The rotation of the driven gear 4205 is detected by the angle sensor 4206. The rotation data output by the angle sensor 4206 can be used as a basis for judging whether the belt 3 is off-track. When the data output by the angle sensor 4206 is abnormal, the coal conveying belt 3 needs to be checked in time. If necessary, the operating speed of the coal conveying belt 3 should be reduced or even stopped.
[0043] A speed control system for an electric motor controls the operating speed of a belt-driven electric motor by an infinitely looping acquisition program.
[0044] The data is calculated and compared in 2-second intervals, and the absolute value of the result is compared with the set value for judgment.
[0045] In an optional embodiment, when belt 3 starts, it avoids the starting current and then begins to collect current data.
[0046] In an optional embodiment, when the belt 3 stops due to an abnormal situation, the current data is collected after calculating the belt 3's operating cycle and setting a delay time based on the belt 3's length.
[0047] The operating speed of the motor of the coal conveyor belt 3 is controlled by an infinite loop acquisition program to avoid or reduce damage to the belt 3 caused by abnormal conditions such as belt misalignment and directional roller damage. When abnormal conditions such as belt misalignment or directional roller damage occur, the current fluctuates greatly, requiring real-time detection and calculation of the current data. When the current reaches the set value, the protection system activates, greatly improving the efficiency of operator monitoring and reducing the damage rate of the belt 3. The infinite loop acquisition program periodically collects current data, calculates the collected data, and compares the calculated value with the set value to determine whether the protection action should be taken. However, the following exceptions should be noted, for example:
[0048] Scenario 1: When belt 3 starts, the current will fluctuate greatly. It is necessary to set a reasonable delay to avoid the impact of the starting current on the protection, so that the protection will not trip due to the starting current.
[0049] Scenario 2: Belt 3 stops due to other abnormal conditions (such as rope pulling, coal blockage, etc.). When it is restarted, belt 3 may be full of coal. At this time, the starting current and running current will be relatively large compared with the current when starting under no-load. There will also be a change in current at the moment when the coal is depleted.
[0050] When the situation occurs, the belt conveyor starts for 2 seconds to avoid the starting current, and then begins to collect current data. The data is calculated and compared in 2-second intervals. That is, the current value of the previous second is subtracted from the current value of the next second, and the absolute value of the result is compared with the set value to determine whether there is an abnormality.
[0051] When situation two occurs, i.e., the abnormal situation causes the stop (such as rope pulling, coal blockage, etc.), when restarting, the belt 3 may be full of coal. At this time, the starting current and running current will be relatively large compared with the current when starting under no-load. There will also be a change in current at the moment when the coal is emptied. It is necessary to calculate the time for belt 3 to run one revolution based on the length of each belt 3, and then set a reasonable delay based on this time.
[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
