Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of image recognition, and particularly to a visual detection system for longitudinal tearing of a conveyor belt. Background Art
[0002] The conveyor belt visual detection system originated in the late 20th century. With the development of computer vision and industrial automation technologies, it has gradually evolved from simple optoelectronic sensing detection to high-precision, multi-dimensional intelligent detection. In the early days, the detection of conveyor belts mainly relied on manual inspections or mechanical sensors, which were difficult to meet the requirements of high-speed and high-precision detection. Since the 21st century, with the development of high-resolution industrial cameras, deep learning algorithms, and embedded computing devices, the conveyor belt visual detection system has achieved a leap from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, from static to dynamic, and from single-point detection to full-frame monitoring. In recent years, combined with multi-modal imaging technologies such as infrared, laser, and X-ray, the system has been further improved in terms of accuracy, real-time performance, and intelligence.
[0003] The conveyor belt visual detection system is widely used in fields such as minerals, metallurgy, logistics, food, and automotive manufacturing. However, when applied to the safety detection of conveyor belts in the coal mining and mining industries, the following technical drawbacks often exist:
[0004] Insufficient anti-interference ability:
[0005] In the prior art, the camera of the device is easily affected by environmental factors such as dust and muddy water, resulting in unclear image acquisition and affecting the detection accuracy; the window structure design of the early devices was not reasonable enough, and dust and muddy water were easily directly splashed onto the glass surface, affecting the normal operation of the device.
[0006] Problems of detection accuracy and false alarm rate:
[0007] When the early devices detected longitudinal tearing, false alarms or missed detections might occur. Especially when a single-frame image was abnormal, the lack of a secondary confirmation mechanism led to misjudgments; the AI algorithms of the prior art might not be mature enough to quickly and accurately distinguish torn pictures, especially in complex environments.
[0008] Insufficient system integration and scalability:
[0009] The system integration degree of the early devices was relatively low, and centralized monitoring and management of multiple devices could not be achieved; the output interfaces and protocol supports of the prior art were limited, and it was difficult to seamlessly connect with third-party platforms, restricting the scalability and flexibility of the system. Summary of the Invention

[0021]
[0022] The preset tear probability threshold T is compared and evaluated with the tear probability value Tlgl, and the specific content is as follows:

First, it receives the tearing probability value Tlgl from the probability calculation unit, the tearing length value Tlcd, and the tearing width value Tlkd from the geometric calculation unit, and inputs the three into a pre-trained deep learning framework. Secondly, through a multi-layer neural network, feature fusion is performed on the tearing probability value Tlgl, the tearing length value Tlcd, and the tearing width value Tlkd, high-dimensional feature vectors are extracted, and a time series model is constructed in combination with historical tearing data to capture the dynamic trend of tearing development. Then, an attention mechanism is introduced to perform weighted processing on the tearing length value Tlcd and the tearing width value Tlkd. Finally, the tearing risk assessment index Tlzs is output through the Softmax function and transmitted to the risk assessment unit.
[0031] Preferably, the anti-interference optimization module includes a logic control unit and a stability optimization unit
[0032] The logic control unit uses an environmental sensor to continuously monitor the environmental interference factors around the camera, including dust concentration, muddy water adhesion, and lighting conditions; analyzes the environmental interference data using a logic judgment algorithm, and dynamically adjusts the window structure and the working mode of the cleaning device; then triggers the cleaning device to perform automatic cleaning, and balances the impact of interference objects on the camera by adjusting the window height and angle. At the same time, when the lighting condition is insufficient, the exposure parameters of the camera are automatically adjusted.
[0033] Preferably, the stability optimization unit includes a multiple detection mechanism that analyzes a single-frame image multiple times through the multiple detection mechanism; at the same time, secondary confirmation is performed on abnormal images, and an alarm is triggered only when it is continuously judged as torn multiple times; then, using a stability optimization algorithm, the running state of the system is monitored in real time, the system stability is balanced through a logic control algorithm, and in combination with the adjustment results of the environmental interference detection and the logic control unit, the anti-interference ability of the system is further adjusted.

[0036] When the tearing risk assessment index Tlzs ≥ the tearing risk threshold P, it is determined that the conveyor belt has a tearing risk;
[0037] When the tearing risk assessment index Tlzs < the tearing risk threshold P, it is determined that the conveyor belt is running normally;
[0038] Finally, corresponding control instructions are generated according to the evaluation content of the tearing risk assessment index Tlzs, including triggering an alarm, stopping the machine or starting the cleaning device, and feedback the instructions to the operator through the user interface.
[0039] The present invention provides a visual detection system for longitudinal tearing of a conveyor belt. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0040] (1) For this visual detection system for longitudinal tearing of a conveyor belt, aiming at solving the problem of insufficient anti-interference ability: in the prior art, the camera of the conveyor belt visual detection system is easily affected by environmental factors such as dust and muddy water, resulting in unclear image acquisition and affecting the accuracy of tearing detection; in view of this problem, through the coordinated action of the logic control unit and the stability optimization unit of the anti-interference optimization module of the present invention, the dust concentration, muddy water adhesion and light conditions around the camera are monitored in real time, and the window structure and the working mode of the cleaning device are dynamically adjusted by using the logical judgment algorithm; by logically controlling the window structure and the cleaning device, the environmental interference is effectively reduced, the image acquisition quality is improved, and the clarity of the 3D image data of the bottom surface of the conveyor belt is ensured, thereby improving the stability and reliability of tearing detection.
[0041] (2) For this longitudinal tear visual detection system of a conveyor belt, the traditional conveyor belt tear detection system may have false alarms or missed alarms when detecting longitudinal tears. Especially when a single-frame image is abnormal, there is a lack of a secondary confirmation mechanism, resulting in misjudgment of the system. Therefore, in the AI recognition module of the present invention, a multiple detection mechanism and a secondary confirmation strategy are introduced. The probability evaluation unit first calculates the tear probability value Tlgl based on the texture feature data, and combines the longitudinal crack extension Tac, the longitudinal texture breakage degree Tbc, and the longitudinal gray-scale change value Tcc to calculate the tear length value Tlcd. At the same time, the lateral crack expansion Tad, the lateral texture breakage degree Tbd, and the lateral gray-scale change value Tcd are extracted to calculate the tear width value Tlkd. On this basis, the model construction unit performs feature fusion on Tlgl, Tlcd, and Tlkd through a multi-layer neural network, and constructs a time series model in combination with historical tear data to capture the dynamic trend of tear development. The attention mechanism is introduced to perform weighted processing on the tear length value Tlcd and the tear width value Tlkd, and the tear risk assessment index Tlzs is output through the Softmax function, so as to achieve high-precision analysis of tear detection and effectively reduce the false alarm rate.
[0042] (3) For this longitudinal tear visual detection system of a conveyor belt, the integration of the traditional conveyor belt visual detection system is relatively low, making it difficult to achieve remote centralized monitoring and multi-device management. At the same time, there are bottlenecks in data transmission and system expansion. To address this issue, the remote centralized monitoring module of the present invention supports TCP / IP, Modbus Tcp, and webSocket protocols, transmits the tear risk assessment index Tlzs and related image data to the remote monitoring platform, and converts them into a standard format for visual display to achieve centralized management of multiple devices. The feedback management module sets the tear risk threshold P based on historical tear data, the conveyor belt operating environment, and equipment performance, and compares and evaluates the relationship between Tlzs and P in real time. When Tlzs≥P, the system determines that there is a tear risk in the conveyor belt, automatically triggers an alarm, shuts down, or starts the cleaning device, and feeds back to the operator through the user interface to ensure the stable operation of the system. At the same time, a standardized data interface is provided to enhance the compatibility and expansion ability of the system. Description of the Drawings

[0053] Embodiment 2
[0054] The image acquisition module includes a laser and a camera. The laser is installed at a preset position on the bottom surface of the conveyor belt and is used to emit a strip of laser upward to the bottom surface of the conveyor belt. The camera is installed at a position corresponding to the laser and is used to collect the image data of the laser reflected on the bottom surface of the conveyor belt in real time; the laser and the camera work synchronously. The laser stripe emitted by the laser forms a continuous scan on the surface of the conveyor belt.

[0055] The AI recognition module includes a feature extraction unit, a probability evaluation unit, a geometric calculation unit, and a model construction unit;
[0056] The feature extraction unit is used to receive the 3D image dataset from the image acquisition module, analyze each frame of the image in the dataset through image processing algorithms, and extract the morphological change features of the laser stripe on the bottom surface of the conveyor belt, including the continuity, curvature, and local distortion of the stripe; at the same time, identify potential crack areas based on the morphological change features and extract the geometric features of the cracks, including the length, width, and depth information of the cracks; in addition, extract the texture feature data of the conveyor belt surface through texture analysis algorithms, including surface roughness, wear degree, and foreign object attachment conditions; after the extracted texture feature data is standardized, it is output to the probability calculation unit and the geometric calculation unit in a preset format.
[0057] The probability evaluation unit extracts the surface roughness Tal, texture direction consistency Tbl, local contrast Tcl, and foreign object attachment density Tdl in the texture feature data based on the texture feature data. After dimensionless processing, the tearing probability value Tlgl is calculated through the following formula:
[0058]
[0059] The preset tearing probability threshold T is compared and evaluated with the tearing probability value Tlgl. The specific content is as follows:
[0060] If the tearing probability value Tlgl < the tearing probability threshold T, it means that there is no tearing risk for the current conveyor belt, and the system does not perform further calculations and continues to monitor the next frame of image data; at the same time, record the current state as "normal" and update the historical data;
[0061] If the tearing probability value Tlgl ≥ the tearing probability threshold T, it means that there is a tearing risk for the current conveyor belt, and the system enters the detailed analysis stage, including further calculating the tearing length value Tlcd and the tearing width value Tlkd to quantify the severity of the tear; at the same time, record the current state as "abnormal" and update the historical data.
[0062] The geometric calculation unit calculates the tearing length value Tlcd and the tearing width value Tlkd respectively based on the texture feature data;
[0063] Extract the longitudinal crack extension Tac, longitudinal texture fracture degree Tbc, and longitudinal gray value change Tcc in the texture feature data. After dimensionless processing, the tearing length value Tlcd is calculated. The specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0064]
[0065] Extract the transverse crack expansion Tad, transverse texture fracture degree Tbd, and transverse gray value change Tcd in the texture feature data. After dimensionless processing, the tearing width value Tlkd is calculated. The specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0066]
[0067] The model construction unit is used to construct a tear prediction model by combining the tear probability value Tlgl, the tear length value Tlcd, and the tear width value Tlkd. First, it receives the tear probability value Tlgl from the probability calculation unit, as well as the tear length value Tlcd and the tear width value Tlkd from the geometric calculation unit, and inputs the three into a pre-trained deep learning framework. Secondly, it performs feature fusion on the tear probability value Tlgl, the tear length value Tlcd, and the tear width value Tlkd through a multi-layer neural network, extracts high-dimensional feature vectors, and constructs a time series model in combination with historical tear data to capture the dynamic trend of tear development. Then, it introduces an attention mechanism to perform weighted processing on the tear length value Tlcd and the tear width value Tlkd. Finally, it outputs the tear risk assessment index Tlzs through the Softmax function and transmits it to the risk assessment unit.
[0068] In this embodiment, through the collaborative action of the image acquisition module, the AI recognition module and its internal units, precise detection and evaluation of longitudinal tearing of the conveyor belt are achieved; the image acquisition module uses a laser and a camera to work synchronously to ensure continuous scanning on the bottom surface of the conveyor belt, obtain high-precision 3D image data, and improve the image quality through denoising, enhancement and normalization processing to provide reliable data for subsequent AI recognition; the feature extraction unit in the AI recognition module deeply analyzes the 3D image data set, extracts the morphological change features of the laser stripes to identify the crack area, calculates the length, width and depth of the crack, and at the same time extracts texture features such as surface roughness Tal, wear degree, texture direction consistency Tbl, local contrast Tcl and foreign object adhesion density Tdl to ensure the comprehensiveness of crack detection; the probability evaluation unit calculates the tearing probability value Tlgl using the texture feature data and compares it with the tearing probability threshold T to determine whether there is a tearing risk for the current conveyor belt.

Finally, the tearing risk assessment index Tlzs is output through the Softmax function, providing a reliable basis for remote monitoring and early warning; the multi-level analysis mechanism of this system ensures the high precision and stability of detection, making it possible to identify, accurately quantify and predict the trend of conveyor belt tearing at an early stage, thus effectively improving the safety and operation efficiency of the conveying system;
[0069] In addition, the specific calculation formula of the tearing risk assessment index Tlzs is as follows:
[0070] Tlzs = w1×Tlgl + w2×Tlcd + w3×Tlkd
[0071] Among them, the weight coefficients w1, w2, and w3 are dynamically calculated through the attention mechanism to ensure that the model can adaptively adjust the weights according to the importance of the input parameters, so as to more accurately evaluate the tearing risk of the conveyor belt.
