[0068] This embodiment also discloses a mine conveyor belt pre-tightening method based on visual detection, which realizes adaptive pre-tightening force adjustment through the following steps:
[0069] S1. Collect the conveyor belt surface image and pre-process the collected image; the specific steps are as follows:
[0070] A. Image acquisition parameter settings: The image collector uses a frame rate Collect images of the conveyor belt surface, and the frame rate depends on the conveyor belt running speed Dynamic settings; for example, when When ;
[0071] The fill light provides uniform lighting to ensure image brightness In the appropriate range, ;
[0072] B. Grayscale processing: Use weighted average method to convert color image into grayscale image , the formula is: Where: is the red channel pixel value; is the green channel pixel value; is the blue channel pixel value;
[0073] S2. Perform edge detection and morphological processing on the preprocessed image obtained in step S1; the specific steps are as follows:
[0074] a. Noise removal: Perform Gaussian filtering on the grayscale image obtained in step S1 to remove noise; set the Gaussian kernel size to , the standard deviation is , through convolution operation, weighted average is performed on each pixel in the image to reduce the impact of high-frequency noise;
[0075] b. Edge detection: Calculate the gradient magnitude and direction of the pixels in the image obtained in step a;
[0076] The Sobel operator is used to calculate the pixel Gradient in direction and Gradient in direction , gradient amplitude The formula is as follows: These gradients are obtained by convolving the image using a Sobel filter. In a convolution operation, a kernel is slid over the image, usually starting from the upper left corner and moving right and downward until the entire image is covered. Each time it moves, the area of the image covered by the kernel is multiplied by the corresponding elements of the kernel, and then these products are added together to get a new pixel value. This process is repeated for every pixel in the image.
[0077] For edge detection, commonly used convolution kernels include Sobel operator, Prewitt operator and Roberts operator, etc. These operators detect edges by calculating the gradient of pixels in the image. For example, the Sobel operator contains two 3x3 convolution kernels, one for calculating the gradient in the x direction and the other for calculating the gradient in the y direction.
[0078] These two gradients can then be used to calculate the gradient magnitude and direction, and subsequently determine the location and strength of the edge;
[0079] c. Morphological processing: dilation and erosion operations are performed on the edge image, using a 3×3 square structure element ; The structural element defines the local shape and size of the operation and can be designed and adjusted according to specific needs; The expansion operation formula is as follows: The corrosion operation formula is as follows: Where: To expand the operating range, is the corrosion operating range, is the image brightness, represents the dilation operation, represents the erosion operation;
[0080] The dilation operation increases the size of objects in the image, and is usually used to fill small holes or connect adjacent objects. The dilation operation is defined as sliding the structural element over the image and calculating the maximum value in the area covered by the structural element. For binary images, this is usually the maximum value of 1 or True. The erosion operation reduces the size of objects in the image, and is usually used to remove small objects or split connected objects. The erosion operation is defined as sliding the structural element over the image and calculating the minimum value in the area covered by the structural element. For binary images, this is usually the minimum value of 0 or False.
[0081] That is, the dilation operation increases the size of the object in the image by calculating the maximum value in the area covered by the structural element; the erosion operation reduces the size of the object in the image by calculating the minimum value in the area covered by the structural element;
[0082] S3. Performing status analysis on the processed conveyor belt image obtained in step S2; the specific steps are as follows:

[0084] 2. Deviation detection: Assume the conveyor belt image width is , center reference line Location is ; By analyzing the pixel position of the conveyor belt edge in the image , calculate the deviation : The threshold is set here as If the deviation , it is judged as deviation;
[0085] S4. Calculate the preload force using the data obtained in step S3; the specific steps are as follows:
[0086] The wear condition of the conveyor belt surface is collected from the image collector, and the wear area ratio is , the deviation amount of the deviation situation is And pre-set conveyor belt operating parameters, such as conveying material weight , running speed , Ambient temperature ;
[0087] Based on elastic modulus E, cross-sectional area S, friction coefficient Equal parameters to establish preload The calculation model is as follows: Where: are conventional coefficients obtained from experiments. ;
[0088] The collected data here is assumed to be: Then, by bringing the preload calculation model into the calculation, we can get:
[0089]
[0090] S5. Detect the data obtained in step S3 and step S4, and dynamically adjust the preload force; the specific steps are as follows:
[0091] Adjustment signal trigger: When the wear change of the conveyor belt surface is detected, or the conveyor belt is found to be deviated, it is detected or When the preload adjustment signal is sent to the preload adjustment unit;
[0092] Set the optimal preload force. Compared with the optimal preload, if If it is greater than the optimal preload, reduce the preload; If the preload is less than the optimum preload, increase the preload; If it is equal to the optimum preload, no adjustment is required;
[0093] Preload force increases: the linear drive assembly drives the screw to rotate in the positive direction, and the slider moves along the guide structure slot, driving the adjustment base away from the drive end roller and tightening the conveyor belt;
[0094] Preload force decreases: the linear drive assembly rotates in the opposite direction, the slider moves back, the base is adjusted to push the roller closer to the drive end, and the conveyor belt is loosened;
[0095] S6. The preload adjustment unit receives the conveyor belt status data updated by the visual detection unit in real time, and executes steps S1-S5 in a loop until the preload force reaches the optimal value.

Detect the data obtained in step S3 and step S4, and dynamically adjust the preload force; When the conveyor belt surface is detected to have wear changes, or the conveyor belt is found to have deviation, it is detected or When , an adjustment signal is sent to the preload adjustment unit; Set the optimal preload force. Compared with the optimal preload, if If it is greater than the optimal preload, reduce the preload; If the preload is less than the optimum preload, increase the preload. If it is equal to the optimum preload force, no adjustment is required; When the preload force increases: the linear drive assembly (230) drives the screw rod (231) to rotate in the positive direction, and the slider (232) moves along the slide groove of the guide structure (220), driving the adjustment base (210) away from the drive end roller (110), thereby tightening the conveyor belt (111); When the preload force decreases: the linear drive assembly (230) rotates in the opposite direction, the slider (232) retreats, the adjustment base (210) pushes the roller (110) closer to the drive end, and the conveyor belt (111) is loosened; S6. The preload adjustment unit receives the conveyor belt status data updated by the visual detection unit in real time, and executes steps S1-S5 in a loop until the preload force reaches the optimal value.
