Single non-contact sensors such as laser speed meters, but their performance decreases sharply in high dust conditions; or ordinary camera visual recognition, but their reliability is low in the case of light changes and dust shielding. These methods have certain limitations and are difficult to achieve continuous, stable, and high-precision monitoring in complex and harsh conditions in the coal industry.

[0073] Embodiment 1

[0074] The embodiment provides an online monitoring device for detecting belt slip, wherein:

[0075] The online monitoring device comprises a millimeter wave radar sensor 3, a machine vision module, a skip-resistant rocker arm speed measurement mechanism 6 and a central processor 8; the millimeter wave radar sensor 3 is used for transmitting frequency-modulated continuous wave to the dynamic drum 2 or the belt surface of the belt conveyor and receiving the echo, and the linear speed data of the belt is obtained through signal processing; the machine vision module comprises a camera 4 and a light source, the camera 4 is correspondingly arranged on the induction strip 5 on the end plate of the dynamic drum 2, and is used for collecting image sequences of the drum rotation and calculating the angular velocity of the drum rotation through image processing algorithm; the skip-resistant rocker arm speed measurement mechanism 6 comprises a speed measurement wheel 7, a rocker, a rotating shaft and a counterweight, the speed measurement wheel 7 is in contact with the non-material bearing surface of the belt, and is used for obtaining the linear speed reference data of the belt; and the central processor 8 is electrically connected with the millimeter wave radar sensor 3, the machine vision module and the skip-resistant rocker arm speed measurement mechanism 6 respectively.

[0076] The online monitoring device further comprises a communication module, the communication module is electrically connected with the central processor 8, and the communication module is used for remotely transmitting the slip early warning signal, the speed data and the slip rate to the upper monitoring system.

[0077] The central processor 8 adopts an adaptive weighted data fusion algorithm to fuse the speed data measured by the millimeter wave radar sensor 3 and the machine vision module, obtains the final linear speed of the belt, and calculates the slip rate according to the fused linear speed of the belt and the drum rotating speed measured by the machine vision, and generates a slip early warning signal when the slip rate exceeds a preset threshold value.

[0078] The central processor 8 fuses the data in the following manner: the central processor 8 dynamically adjusts the weight coefficients of the data of the millimeter wave radar sensor 3 and the data of the machine vision module according to the environmental dust concentration, increases the data weight of the millimeter wave radar sensor 3 when the dust concentration is high, and increases the data weight of the machine vision module when the dust concentration is low and the light is good.

[0083] (4) Calculate the real-time slip rate of the belt according to the slip rate formula;

[0084] (5) Compare the slip rate with the preset safety threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, a slip warning will be triggered.

[0085] Taking a coal mine belt conveyor as an example, the slippage warning threshold is set at 1.5%. When the system detects that the slippage rate exceeds 1.5% for 3 consecutive seconds, the central processing unit 8 immediately generates a first-level warning signal; if the slippage rate further increases to 5%, a second-level severe alarm signal is generated, and the control system can be linked to take measures such as reducing the load or shutting down the machine.

[0086] This invention, through the creative combination of millimeter-wave radar and machine vision, effectively solves the problem of accurate monitoring of belt slippage in complex industrial environments, and has significant practical significance and application value.

[0087] In summary, this invention provides an online monitoring device for conveyor belt slippage based on multi-sensor fusion, characterized by high measurement accuracy, good environmental adaptability, and strong reliability.

Millimeter-wave radar offers strong anti-interference capabilities, while machine vision provides intuitive and accurate data; the combination of these two ensures stable operation of the device under complex conditions such as high dust and strong interference in the coal industry. Redundant design allows the system to rely on other sensors for degraded operation when one sensor fails, while simultaneously issuing a fault alarm, ensuring continuous monitoring. It can calculate the slip rate in real time and issue timely warnings at the initial stage of slippage, buying time for corrective measures and effectively preventing the accident from escalating.
