[0002] The coal transportation system of coal-fired power plants is one of the important links in the safe production of power plants, but there are many problems in the traditional coal transportation system, such as large dust at the transportation transfer point, material blockage in the coal drop pipe, belt deviation, belt tearing, low belt conveying output, frequent trestle washing, serious equipment corrosion, high energy consumption, serious equipment impact damage and high noise. Among them, conveyor belt deviation is one of the main reasons for abnormal wear of conveyor belts, and the existing manual deviation correction method is inefficient and has safety hazards.

[0003] There are already some invention patents to solve the problem of intelligent inspection and safety control of conveyor belts. For example:

The conveyor realizes multi-degree-of-freedom deviation correction of rollers through a cross-axis assembly and a rotary power assembly, and realizes high-precision deviation correction through closed-loop control to detect the deflection angle, thereby improving the deviation correction and conveying efficiency. However, in actual application, the patent needs to further optimize the structure and parameters of the self-aligning swing frame and the rotary power assembly to improve the deviation correction accuracy and efficiency.

[0005] Patent CN107720099A discloses a device for correcting the deviation of a circular tube conveyor belt. The device includes a correction sensor, an electrical control system, and a correction actuator, which can realize automatic control of the torsion correction of the circular tube conveyor belt, with high detection sensitivity, fast response and calculation speed. However, the patent needs to further improve the precision and accuracy of the sensor to ensure more accurate detection of the deflection range and direction of the conveyor belt.

[0006] However, the current solution does not take into account the impact of foreign matter on coal flow transportation, and the correction method is not intelligent and has low efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the present invention proposes a conveyor belt intelligent inspection and safety management system and method.

[0008] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0009] On the one hand, the present invention provides a conveyor belt intelligent inspection and safety control system, comprising:

[0010] A foreign matter sorting device comprises a conveyor belt, a visual inspection unit and an industrial robot arranged in sequence along a material conveying direction, wherein an encoder is installed on a rotating shaft of the conveyor belt;

[0011] The visual detection unit is set up above the conveyor belt to detect foreign objects and obtain the position and posture data of the foreign objects. The industrial robot is used to perform the foreign object clamping action based on the position and posture data of the foreign objects and the conveyor belt angular displacement data output by the encoder.

[0012] The electric deviation correction device comprises a deviation correction sensor, a control unit and an electric push rod which are arranged in pairs on both sides of the conveyor belt;

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the step of adjusting the electrical signal output by the control unit to the electric push rod according to the deviation data includes:

[0022] The control unit uses a deviation calculation algorithm based on the least squares method to calculate the adjustment electrical signal and output an adjustment electrical signal related to the conveyor belt position deviation and deviation direction to the electric push rod. The formula for calculating the conveyor belt deviation based on the least squares method is as follows:

[0023]

[0024] Among them, (x i ,y i ) is the conveyor belt data collected by the deviation correction sensor, a0 and a1 are the parameters of the fitting line, and ΔS is the conveyor belt deviation.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the system further comprises:

[0032] Tear detection module: The conveyor belt in the video image is detected through the visual detection unit, and an alarm signal is output when a tear fault of the conveyor belt is detected.

[0034] Set up foreign matter picking device and electric deviation correcting device;

[0035] The foreign object picking device detects foreign objects on the conveyor belt and obtains the position and posture data of the foreign objects, and controls the industrial robot to perform the foreign object gripping action based on the position and posture data of the foreign objects and the angular displacement data of the conveyor belt;

[0036] The electric deviation correction device detects whether the center of the conveyor belt deviates from the center of the material conveyor, and outputs an adjusted electrical signal to the electric push rod of the conveyor belt according to the deviation data. The electric push rod pushes or pulls the self-aligning roller of the conveyor belt according to the correct electrical signal.

[0037] On the other hand, the present invention further proposes an electronic device, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein when the processor executes the program, the conveyor belt intelligent inspection and safety control method as described in any embodiment of the present invention is implemented.

[0055] Embodiment 1:

[0056] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a conveyor belt intelligent inspection and safety control system, which is characterized by comprising:

[0057] The foreign matter sorting device comprises a conveyor belt 1, a visual inspection unit 2 and an industrial robot 3 which are arranged in sequence along the material conveying direction, and an encoder 4 is installed on the rotating shaft of the conveyor belt 1;

[0058] The visual inspection unit 2 is mounted above the conveyor belt 1 to detect foreign objects and obtain the position and posture data of the foreign objects. The industrial robot 3 is used to perform the foreign object gripping action based on the position and posture data of the foreign objects and the conveyor belt angular displacement data output by the encoder 4.

[0059] The encoder 4 is installed on the rotating shaft of the conveyor belt 1 to detect the angular displacement data of the conveyor belt 1; the visual detection unit 2 is used to obtain photos of foreign objects and detect their positions; in front of the conveyor belt running direction, an industrial robot 3 is fixed to track and grab products.

[0060] The electric deviation correction device comprises a deviation correction sensor 5, a control unit 6 and an electric push rod 7 which are arranged in pairs on both sides of the conveyor belt 1;

[0061] The deviation correction sensor 5 is used to detect whether the center of the conveyor belt 1 deviates from the center of the material conveyor, and sends the deviation data to the control unit 6. The control unit 6 adjusts the electrical signal to the electric push rod 7 according to the deviation data output. The electric push rod 7 pushes or pulls the self-aligning roller of the conveyor belt 1 according to the adjusted electrical signal.

[0062] As a preferred implementation of this embodiment, the visual detection unit 2 includes a camera and an image processing module. The camera collects the image of the foreign body on the conveyor belt surface, and the image processing module obtains the visual coordinate system position information PV (X V ,Y V ,C V );The PV is converted into the foreign body's position PU (X U ,Y U ,C U );

[0063] The coordinate transformation formula is:

[0064]

[0065] Among them, (X0, Y0) is the coordinate of the origin of the visual coordinate system in the robot world coordinate system, R 11 , R 12, R 21 , R 22 is the parameter in the rotation matrix R, which describes the rotation relationship between the visual coordinate system and the robot world coordinate system. x and T y is the translation vector, and θ is the rotation angle between the two coordinate systems;

[0066] The industrial robot 3 reads the conveyor belt angular displacement data output by the encoder 4 in real time, and controls the movement of the robot end effector based on the motion control model of the PID control algorithm. The control output u(t) of the PID control algorithm is calculated by the following formula:

[0067]

[0068] Among them, K p is the proportionality coefficient, K i is the integration coefficient, K d is the differential coefficient, and e(t) is the deviation value at the current moment, that is, the difference between the current end effector position of the industrial robot 3 and the foreign object target position.

[0069] As a preferred implementation of this embodiment, the step of the control unit 6 adjusting the electrical signal to the electric push rod 7 according to the deviation data output includes:

[0070] The control unit 6 uses a deviation calculation algorithm based on the least squares method to calculate the adjustment electrical signal and outputs an adjustment electrical signal related to the conveyor belt position deviation and deviation direction to the electric push rod 7. The formula for calculating the conveyor belt deviation based on the least squares method is as follows:

[0071]

[0072] Among them, (x i ,y i ) is the conveyor belt data collected by the deviation correction sensor 5, a0 and a1 are the parameters of the fitting line, and ΔS is the conveyor belt deviation.

[0073] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0074] After starting the system, calibrate the camera parameters and set the camera's exposure time, resolution and other parameters; perform zero-point calibration on encoder 4 to ensure that it can accurately measure the angular displacement data of conveyor belt 1; perform initialization settings on industrial robot 3, including zeroing the joint angle and setting the motion range, to ensure the normal operation of each device.

[0075] When a foreign object on the conveyor belt enters the camera's field of view, the camera detects the foreign object and takes a picture (the detection can use a pre-trained target detection model pre-deployed in the camera processor, such as the YOLO model), and detects the position information PV of the foreign object in the visual coordinate system through an image processing algorithm. At the same time, the angle position data of the conveyor belt encoder 4 is read.

[0076] The pose information PV in the visual coordinate system is converted into the position information PU in the robot world coordinate system. By collecting the conveyor encoder data in real time, the PID control algorithm is used to control the end effector of the industrial robot 3 to continuously approach the foreign object. During the approach process, the robot's motion parameters are continuously updated to ensure that it accurately tracks the foreign object.

[0077] When the robot reaches the location of the foreign object, it performs the grabbing action and ends the foreign object tracking state after grabbing the foreign object. The grabbed foreign object is placed in the designated collection area to complete the picking operation.

[0078] The electric deviation correction device detects whether the conveyor belt 1 in operation deviates through deviation data, automatically analyzes the deviation amount and the severity of the deviation, and timely adjusts the conveyor belt 1 so that it can run on an ideal path.

[0079] Set the corresponding time parameters in the parameter interface. When conveyor belt 1 deviates during transportation, the system will automatically correct the deviation direction. For example, when the left running time is set to 3S and the left slight deviation running time interval is set to 3 seconds, when conveyor belt 1 deviates to the left and triggers the left deviation switch for more than 3S, the system drives the electric push rod to reverse for 3S, and the deviation correction stops.

[0080] The deviation correction sensors are installed in pairs, and their symmetry center is consistent with the center of the conveyor. When the center of the running conveyor belt 1 deviates from the center of the conveyor, the deviation correction sensors on both sides start working, and thus output the deviated electrical signal to the deviation correction control box. After calculation by the microprocessor in the control box, an electrical signal related to the position deviation and deviation direction of the conveyor belt is output to the electric push rod, thereby pushing or pulling the self-aligning roller to return the center of the deviated conveyor belt to the center of the conveyor until the deviation disappears, the deviation correction control box stops outputting, the electric push rod stops, and the deviation correction ends.

[0081] When the self-aligning roller is adjusted to the limit position and the conveyor belt 1 continues to deviate and cannot be restored within a period of time, the control box outputs an alarm signal and the alarm indicator lights up. When the conveyor belt returns to normal, the alarm signal must be manually released before it can be used.

[0082] As a preferred implementation of this embodiment, the system further includes:

[0083] The sprinkler fire extinguishing module is a video surveillance and infrared camera arranged above the conveyor belt 1. When the sprinkler fire extinguishing module detects smoke or flames, the sprinkler system is activated to extinguish the fire.

[0084] As a preferred implementation of this embodiment, the system further includes:

[0085] The personnel intrusion recognition module is used to install cameras at the entrances and exits of designated areas. By deploying artificial intelligence algorithms, it can recognize and automatically alarm scenes such as not wearing a helmet, intruding the area, and climbing over the guardrail. At the same time, it counts the number of people entering and leaving, issues an overcrowding alarm, and outputs control commands to the conveyor. It can recognize and automatically alarm scenes such as not wearing a helmet, intruding the area, and climbing over the guardrail. At the same time, it counts the number of people entering and leaving, realizes closed management of the area, and issues an overcrowding alarm.

[0086] In the process of conveying materials, the belt conveyor may be damaged due to large pieces of gangue or large pieces of materials blocking the belt conveyor head. As a preferred implementation of this embodiment, the system also includes:

[0087] Coal spilling and coal spilling identification module: The coal flow polygon detection area in the video screen is detected by the visual detection unit 2. When the coal area in the calibration area is found to be larger than the set value, it is judged that there is a risk of coal blockage or coal blockage has occurred, and a system alarm is issued. Through this embodiment, when it is found that the coal area in the calibration area is too large, it is judged that there is a risk of coal blockage or coal blockage has occurred, and a system alarm is issued.

[0088] As a preferred implementation of this embodiment, the system further includes:

[0089] Tear detection module: The conveyor belt 1 in the video image is detected through the visual detection unit 2. When a tear failure of the conveyor belt 1 is detected, an alarm signal is output, and an alarm or emergency stop signal can be issued in time to avoid the expansion of the accident and minimize the loss of the conveyor belt.
