Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of chain tracks, and in particular to a chain track deformation monitoring system and an operating method. Background Art
[0002] The chains and tracks on site are continuous use equipment and may break at any time. At present, the chains and tracks are monitored by workers, and all the chains and tracks on site are checked one by one at regular intervals. Each inspection requires the workers on site to concentrate on checking every chain and track, which consumes a lot of their energy.
[0003] Therefore, in order to reduce the labor intensity of workers, record and classify the fracture characteristics, and optimize the operation process, it is recommended to implement automatic chain track monitoring, that is, the equipment automatically monitors the chain and track, and when a fracture or crack is found, it will issue an alarm and notify personnel to handle it, and establish a fracture or crack feature database. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art and to provide a chain track deformation monitoring system and an operating method that can solve the above-mentioned problem.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a chain track deformation monitoring system, comprising the following operating steps, a mobile signal transmitter in the track monitoring system transmits a signal, and a signal station receives data;
[0006] Large amounts of data are transmitted through optical fiber, and the mobile platform moves and collects data. It is necessary to ensure stable transmission of model signals and data collection;
[0007] On-site workers follow the system prompts. If there is a break, the system will alarm and point out the area location;
[0008] The central control system processes data, displays pictures, time and other information, and inspects, maintains and replaces the broken parts;
[0009] If there is no break, the location information will be fed back in real time and the information log will be kept.
[0010] Preferably, a chain track deformation monitoring system operation method comprises the following steps: the dots represent the track monitoring system, the monitoring system will move along the on-site track to monitor in real time whether the track is broken;
[0011] 2) The A11-C11 area is marked as a landmark or an obvious feature on site. When the monitoring system detects a fracture, an alarm is displayed in the corresponding area mark to remind the workers on site of the fracture location, avoiding the workers from wasting time by inspecting the entire track;
[0012] 3) Because the track monitoring system moves in real time along the on-site track, it is difficult to lay out the signal line, so the signal will be connected wirelessly;
[0013] 4) The signal station is the wireless signal receiving station of the monitoring system, which is used to receive the wireless signal data transmitted by the signal transmitter;
[0014] 5) As a signal transfer station, the fiber optic switch can stably transmit large amounts of data;
[0015] 6) The central control system is placed in the on-site main control room. The equipment movement position is displayed in real time on the track monitoring system interface. When a fracture is detected, an alarm is immediately issued. Even if the position is lit with a red dot, on-site workers can quickly locate the track fracture feature according to the area mark where the red dot is located and carry out repairs. At the same time, the detected fracture picture, time, and area mark are saved in the system together;
[0016] 7) The entire monitoring path process is recorded in real time in the central control system. If the detection system does not move or does not transmit real-time signals, a fault alarm will be issued to remind workers that the equipment needs maintenance;
[0017] 8) The signal can be transmitted to PC and mobile terminals, so that workers can also obtain monitoring information on mobile terminals.
[0018] Preferably, the track monitoring adopts wireless monitoring, and all signals are transmitted wirelessly to ensure the stability of the transmission signal.
[0019] Preferably, a mark recognition function is used to make a letter + number mark on the track every 10-20 meters. The mark can be visually detected and identified. When the track monitoring system detects a break, the location of the track break is accurately determined based on the previous mark, prompting workers to perform maintenance.
[0020] Preferably, a map is drawn according to the on-site chain and track layout. When the chain monitoring system detects a break, a red dot will be displayed on the map. At the same time, according to the chain speed obtained by the encoder, the red dot will move at a proportional speed on the map, making it easy for workers to accurately find the broken chain.
[0021] Preferably, the mobile terminal is synchronized. In order to facilitate on-site workers to better find the fracture, the marking recognition function and map drawing can be synchronized to the workers' mobile terminal through the APP. Even if they are not in the main control room, they can still understand the monitoring information at any time.
[0022] Preferably, the indoor positioning system can locate the mobile car for track monitoring in real time, and the position and status of the mobile car can be checked at any time, which is more convenient and quick.
[0023] Preferred, indoor positioning technology: by adopting wireless pulse technology, by accurately measuring the propagation time of wireless pulses in space, measuring the absolute distance between the micro tag and the micro base station, supporting real-time position solution of large-capacity tags, and achieving 10cm-level positioning accuracy.
[0024] Preferably, a reasonable number of micro base stations are deployed in indoor spaces to accurately locate the positioning micro tags on people, vehicles, and assets, and with the help of standard GIS-based positioning application software (basic positioning system, value-added application system), an open positioning engine API interface, and a location big data platform.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] 1. The chain track deformation monitoring system and operation method can save 2 workers when the scheme is put into operation. There is no need to check the chain and track all the time. Each person costs about 100,000 yuan per year, which can save 200,000 yuan per year.
[0027] Indirect benefits: improved stability of chains and tracks, accurate detection of breaks, and prevention of the huge damage caused by chain and track breaks;
[0028] To improve the utilization rate of spare parts, the fracture data can be compiled into big data. Through big data, the time and reasons for more frequent fractures can be analyzed, and then spare parts can be prepared in advance when fractures are more frequent.
[0029] 2. The chain track deformation monitoring system and operation method. The solution is divided into chain monitoring and track monitoring according to on-site needs. Chain monitoring is a fixed-point type, which detects whether all chains passing through have cracks or breaks at a fixed position; track monitoring is a follow-up type, which needs to move along the track path to detect whether the track on the entire path has cracks or breaks;
[0030] The monitoring system can adapt to the high temperature and high dust environment on site, and can replace manual real-time monitoring of chains and tracks;
[0031] The corresponding database of the monitoring system collects all detected fracture features and needs to save feature images and time;
[0032] 3. The chain track deformation monitoring system and operation method, the monitoring system is equipped with good human-computer interaction function, when a fracture is detected, it can warn the on-site personnel and notify them to handle it, the prompt interface of the system can clearly display the characteristic picture, the location and the time node of the fracture detection;
[0033] The monitoring system must be able to perform detection without affecting the coil conveying, while ensuring the stability of power supply and signal and being able to work continuously. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0044] See also Figure 1-2 ,The present invention provides a technical solution: a chain track deformation monitoring system, comprising the following operating steps, a mobile signal transmitter in the track monitoring system transmits a signal, and a signal station receives data;
[0045] Large amounts of data are transmitted through optical fiber, and the mobile platform moves and collects data. It is necessary to ensure stable transmission of model signals and data collection;
[0046] On-site workers follow the system prompts. If there is a break, the system will alarm and point out the area location;
[0047] The central control system processes data, displays pictures, time and other information, and inspects, maintains and replaces the broken parts;
[0048] If there is no break, the location information will be fed back in real time and the information log will be kept.
[0049] For further information, see Figure 4 , a chain track deformation monitoring system operation method, comprising the following steps: 1) Figure 4 In the figure, the dots represent the track monitoring system, which moves along the on-site track to monitor in real time whether there are any breaks in the track;
[0050] 2) The A11-C11 area is marked as a landmark or an obvious feature on site. When the monitoring system detects a fracture, an alarm is displayed in the corresponding area mark to remind the workers on site of the fracture location, avoiding the workers from wasting time by inspecting the entire track;
[0051] 3) Because the track monitoring system moves in real time along the on-site track, it is difficult to lay out the signal line, so the signal will be connected wirelessly;
[0052] 4) The signal station is the wireless signal receiving station of the monitoring system, which is used to receive the wireless signal data transmitted by the signal transmitter;
[0053] 5) As a signal transfer station, the fiber optic switch can stably transmit large amounts of data;
[0054] 6) The central control system is placed in the on-site main control room. The equipment movement position is displayed in real time on the track monitoring system interface. When a fracture is detected, an alarm is immediately issued. Even if the position is lit with a red dot, on-site workers can quickly locate the track fracture feature according to the area mark where the red dot is located and carry out repairs. At the same time, the detected fracture picture, time, and area mark are saved in the system together;
[0055] 7) The entire monitoring path process is recorded in real time in the central control system. If the detection system does not move or does not transmit real-time signals, a fault alarm will be issued to remind workers that the equipment needs maintenance;
[0056] 8) The signal can be transmitted to PC and mobile terminals, so that workers can also obtain monitoring information on mobile terminals.
[0057] For further information, see Figure 3The track monitoring adopts wireless monitoring, and all signals are transmitted wirelessly (if there is 5G signal coverage, 5G signal will be used first) to ensure the stability of the transmission signal.
[0058] For further information, see Figure 5 The track monitoring power supply adopts a quick-change mobile power supply. While ensuring long-term stable use, it can be quickly replaced after the power is used up without affecting the production rhythm.
[0059] Furthermore, the mark recognition function makes a letter + number mark on the track every 10-20 meters. The mark can be visually detected and identified. When the track monitoring system detects a break, the location of the track break is accurately determined based on the previous mark, prompting workers to perform maintenance.
[0060] Map drawing: A map is drawn based on the on-site chain and track layout. When the chain monitoring system detects a break, a red dot will be displayed on the map. At the same time, according to the chain speed obtained by the encoder, the red dot will move at a proportional speed on the map, making it easy for workers to accurately find the broken chain.
[0061] Mobile terminal synchronization: In order to help on-site workers find the fracture better, the marking recognition function and map drawing can be synchronized to the workers' mobile terminal through the APP. Even if they are not in the main control room, they can still understand the monitoring information at any time.
[0062] (Optional) Indoor positioning system can locate the mobile trolley for track monitoring in real time, and the position and status of the mobile trolley can be checked at any time, which is more convenient and quick.
[0063] Indoor positioning technology: By adopting wireless pulse technology, the propagation time of wireless pulses in space is accurately measured, the absolute distance between the micro tag and the micro base station is measured, and real-time position calculation of large-capacity tags is supported to achieve 10cm-level positioning accuracy.

[0065] Furthermore, the implementation of this solution can save two workers, as there is no need to constantly check the chains and tracks, which costs about 100,000 yuan per person per year, saving 200,000 yuan per year.
[0066] Indirect benefits: improved stability of chains and tracks, accurate detection of breaks, and prevention of the huge damage caused by chain and track breaks;
[0067] To improve the utilization rate of spare parts, the fracture data can be compiled into big data. Through big data, the time and reasons for more frequent fractures can be analyzed, and then spare parts can be prepared in advance when fractures are more frequent.
[0068] Furthermore, the solution is divided into chain monitoring and track monitoring according to on-site needs. Chain monitoring is a fixed-point type, which detects whether all passing chains have cracks or breaks at a fixed position; track monitoring is a follow-up type, which needs to move along the track path to detect whether the track along the entire path has cracks or breaks.
[0069] The monitoring system can adapt to the high temperature and high dust environment on site, and replaces manual real-time monitoring of chains and tracks.
[0070] The corresponding database of the monitoring system collects all detected fracture features and needs to save feature images and time.
