Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of belt conveyor cleaning technology, specifically to automated control technology for belt cleaning based on vision detection. Background Technology
[0002] Belt conveyors, as core equipment for material transportation in industrial production, are widely used in mining, metallurgy, ports, chemical and other fields. During the material transportation process, some transported materials, especially viscous and powdery materials, will adhere to the belt surface. If not removed in time, the residual material will enter between the rollers and the belt, causing wear on the roller surface, belt misalignment, increased belt running resistance, extra energy consumption, and inaccurate measurement of transport volume due to material falling. Therefore, belt conveyors are generally equipped with a belt cleaner to clean the belt. However, existing belt cleaning devices have certain defects in use: most devices lack real-time detection methods and rely solely on manual periodic checks to judge the cleaning effect, resulting in the inability to detect substandard cleaning in time; the position, pressure and other parameters of the first and second cleaners are preset values and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the actual contamination of the belt surface, resulting in poor adaptability to materials of different viscosity and particle size; a few devices using visual detection are only used for fault alarms and do not form a closed-loop control with the cleaner, thus failing to achieve true fully automated control.
[0003] Therefore, we need to develop a fully automated belt cleaning and inspection device that integrates visual inspection technology and can realize post-first cleaning inspection, dynamic control of second cleaning, and secondary inspection and verification. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing belt cleaning devices, such as low automation, uncontrollable cleaning effect, and lack of closed-loop control in visual inspection. It provides a fully automated belt cleaning and inspection device and its usage method. The device obtains residual information on the belt surface through the first visual inspection after the first cleaning, intelligently adjusts the parameters of the second cleaner, and then verifies the cleaning effect through a second visual inspection, forming a complete automated control closed loop to achieve precise and efficient belt cleaning.
[0005] This invention provides a fully automated belt cleaning and detection device and its usage method, specifically including: a main frame, a first-stage cleaner, a second-stage cleaner, a second-stage lifting controller, and a hydraulic telescopic rod; a fixed support is fixedly and vertically erected on the top surface of the main frame, and a collection box is placed on the main frame; a lifting rod is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixed support, and a transverse sliding plate is connected to the top of the fixed support; a hydraulic controller is installed on the lifting rod, and a hydraulic rod is installed on the hydraulic controller; a connecting valve is installed at the bottom right side of the hydraulic controller, and a counterweight is placed on the lifting rod; the first-stage cleaner is installed on the top front side of the main frame, and the first-stage cleaner is composed of a linkage shaft, a connecting frame, and a first-stage scraper. The linkage shaft is fixedly connected to a connecting ring of the linkage rod by a screw, the first connecting frame is installed on the linkage shaft, the first-stage scraper is installed on the first connecting frame, and a mounting bracket is installed on the outside of the linkage shaft. The mounting bracket is internally fastened with a detection probe mounting rod. Two additional sets of mounting brackets are installed on fixed uprights at the rear of the collection box. The two front sets are located below the belt and behind the first-stage sweeper, while the two rear sets are located below the belt and behind the second-stage sweeper. The second-stage sweeper includes a mounting shaft and two scrapers. The mounting shaft is fixedly connected between the two fixed brackets, and the two scrapers are mounted on the mounting shaft. The second-stage sweeper is located behind the first-stage sweeper. The second-stage lifting controller is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed bracket. The second-stage lifting controller consists of a guide plate, a mounting frame, and a lifting device. The guide plate is fixedly welded to the outside of the fixed bracket, the mounting frame is connected between the upper and lower guide plates, and the lifting device is mounted on the mounting frame. The hydraulic telescopic rod is mounted on a transverse sliding plate via angle steel. The bottom of the hydraulic telescopic rod is rotatably connected to a linkage rod via a rotating shaft.
[0006] Furthermore, the transverse slide plate has a transverse slide groove inside, and the transverse slide plate is connected to the fixed bracket by a bolt assembly. Three sets of connecting holes are equally spaced to ensure that the height of the transverse slide plate can be adjusted, so that the initial height of the hydraulic telescopic rod is adjustable, improving the applicability of the device. The drive roller is rotatably connected to the fixed bracket by a bearing, and a belt is installed on the outside of the drive roller.
[0007] Furthermore, a hydraulic line is connected to the bottom of the connecting valve, which is connected to two secondary lifting controllers and two hydraulic telescopic rods. An electrical control device is installed on the top surface of the lifting rod, and the electrical control device is electrically connected to an external hardware control device. An electrically controlled telescopic rod is installed on the top of the electrical control device, and a through hole is opened at the moving end of the electrically controlled telescopic rod. The hydraulic rod is engaged inside the through hole. When it is necessary to adjust the pressure value, the industrial control computer and programmable logic controller of the external hardware control device are used to adjust the electrically controlled telescopic rod and the connecting valve, thereby driving the hydraulic rod to press, thus adjusting the pressure of the first or second stage sweeper.
[0008] Furthermore, the connecting frame is snapped onto a rectangular plate fixedly welded to the top surface of the linkage shaft. The outside of the connecting frame is provided with an irregularly shaped clamping plate. The inside of the first scraper is provided with an irregularly shaped groove that matches the connecting frame. The irregularly shaped clamping plate is snapped into the irregularly shaped groove, and the connecting frame and the first scraper are fastened together by bolts.
[0009] Furthermore, a connecting shaft is fixedly connected inside the mounting shaft, and both ends of the connecting shaft are snapped onto the lifting device. A rectangular plate is fixedly welded to the top surface of the mounting shaft, and a connecting frame two is snapped onto the outside of the rectangular plate.

Irregularly shaped grooves are opened inside the two scrapers, and the connecting frame two and the irregularly shaped clamping plate on the outside of the irregularly shaped grooves are snapped onto the inside of the irregularly shaped grooves. The two scrapers and the connecting frame two are fastened together by bolts.
[0010] Furthermore, the guide plate has a longitudinal groove inside, and the upper and lower sides of the mounting frame are connected to the guide plate by bolts inside the longitudinal groove. When the lifter moves up and down by adjusting the electric control and hydraulic rod, it drives the second sweeper to move to achieve automatic control. The longitudinal groove of the guide plate provides movement space for the position adjustment of the mounting frame.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the mounting bracket is provided with an arc-shaped plate and is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket by bolts. The top of the mounting bracket is provided with an open notch, and the top of the notch is provided with a rectangular plate for connection. A vision acquisition module and an image preprocessing module are installed on the detection probe mounting rod. A data transmission unit is installed inside the detection probe mounting rod. The data transmission unit adopts a gigabit Ethernet interface with an image data transmission rate of ≥100Mbps. The vision acquisition module is an industrial camera with a resolution of higher than 5 million pixels and a frame rate of higher than 30fps. The industrial camera can be used to acquire images of the belt surface. The image preprocessing module is used to preprocess the acquired images to assist the industrial control computer and programmable logic controller of the external hardware control device in judging the images.
[0012] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is snapped onto the top of the front panel of the collection box, and rollers are fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating shaft. The rollers are snapped onto the top of the collection box. A mounting shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and a through hole is opened inside the mounting shaft. A rotating plate is fixedly inserted into the through hole. The angle of the rotating plate can be adjusted by rotating it. The rollers increase the friction between the rotating shaft and the collection box, ensuring that the position of the rotating plate can be kept fixed after adjustment. The collection box can collect the material after the belt is cleaned, and at the same time provide an installation position for the second detection.
[0013] A method for using a fully automated belt cleaning and detection device, comprising the following steps:
[0014] S1. The operator selects the belt specification (width, material), the type of material to be conveyed (such as coal, ore, grain) on the touch screen, sets the target cleanliness parameters (residual area ratio ≤ 0.05%, 3D raised particles ≤ 0.1mm) and belt running speed (0.8-1.2m / s).
[0015] S2. The first-stage sweeper drives the first-stage scraper to contact the belt surface with initial pressure (150N) to perform the first-stage sweeping;
[0016] S3. The industrial camera begins to acquire images of the belt surface after the first cleaning (each frame covers an area of 100mm×800mm). The images are preprocessed by the image preprocessing module (denoising, enhancement, and correction). Based on the QR code labels on the belt surface, the images are stitched together to form a complete panoramic image of the belt surface.
[0017] S4. Use the YOLOv5 model for target detection, output the bounding box (x,y,w,h) of each residue, calculate the area of a single residue (w×h) and the proportion of the total area (total residue area / belt detection area), classify the residue type (block, powder, sticky) by color and shape features, generate the first detection report and transmit the data to the external hardware control terminal;
[0018] S5. The computer and programmable logic controller invoke the decision model based on the first detection report:
[0019] If the residual area accounts for more than 1% of the total area: it is judged as heavily polluted, and the maximum cleaning intensity is activated.
[0020] If 0.5% < residual area percentage ≤ 1%: moderate contamination, pressure 300N, rotation speed 1200r / min;
[0021] If 0.1% < residual area percentage ≤ 0.5%: light contamination, pressure 200N, rotation speed 1000r / min;
[0022] If the residual area percentage is ≤0.1%: slight contamination, pressure 150N, rotation speed 800r / min;
[0023] S6. Output control commands to the electric telescopic rod, hydraulic telescopic rod and connecting valve, and adjust the contact pressure between the two scrapers and the belt at the same time;
[0024] S7, the industrial camera and laser line scanner work synchronously to collect data on the surface of the belt after the second cleaning. The image recognition algorithm repeats the analysis process of step S4, compares the detection results with the target cleanliness parameters until they match the preset parameters, and completes the cleaning and automatic control.
[0025] Beneficial effects
[0026] During use, this invention achieves fully automated control of belt cleaning from detection to adjustment through a closed-loop control process of "first-stage cleaning - first-stage visual inspection - second-stage cleaning parameter adjustment - second-stage cleaning - second-stage visual inspection", without the need for manual intervention.
[0027] Secondly, visual inspection technology can be used to identify 0.5mm. 2 The above-mentioned minute residues improve detection accuracy, making it more accurate and effective than traditional manual visual inspection; the control mechanism of the two-stage cleaner ensures that different types of residues can be effectively removed, controlling and reducing the area ratio of residual materials.
[0028] Furthermore, the pressure of the hydraulic rod is regulated by the electrically controlled telescopic rod, saving labor costs. Both the first and second sweepers can be independently controlled, enabling flexible control and ensuring thorough cleaning. Attached Figure Description

10. The method of using a fully automated belt cleaning and detection device as described in any one of claims 1-9, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: S1. The operator selects the belt (103) specification, the type of material to be conveyed, and sets the target cleanliness parameters and belt running speed on the touch screen; S2, the first-stage sweeper (3) drives the first-stage scraper (33) to contact the surface of the belt (103) with initial pressure to perform the first-stage sweeping; S3. The industrial camera collects images of the belt (103) surface after the first cleaning. The images are preprocessed by the image preprocessing module. Based on the QR code label on the belt (103) surface, the images are stitched together to form a complete panoramic view of the belt surface. S4. Use the YOLOv5 model for target detection, output the bounding box of each residue, calculate the area of a single residue and the proportion of the total area, classify the residue type by color and shape features, generate the first detection report and transmit the data to the external hardware control terminal. S5. The computer and programmable logic controller invoke the decision model based on the first detection report: If the residual area accounts for more than 1% of the total area: it is judged as heavily polluted, and the maximum cleaning intensity is activated. If 0.5% < residual area percentage ≤ 1%: moderate pollution, pressure 300N, rotation speed 1200r / min; If 0.1% < residual area percentage ≤ 0.5%: light contamination, pressure 200N, rotation speed 1000r / min; If the residual area percentage is ≤0.1%: slight contamination, pressure 150N, rotation speed 800r / min; S6, output control commands to the electric telescopic rod, hydraulic telescopic rod (8) and connecting valve (204), and simultaneously adjust the contact pressure between the second scraper (43) and the belt (103); S7. The industrial camera and laser line scanner work synchronously to collect surface data of the belt (103) after the second cleaning. The image recognition algorithm repeats the analysis process of step S4, compares the detection results with the target cleanliness parameters until they are consistent with the preset parameters, and completes the cleaning and automatic control.
