TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of belt thickness measurement, in particular to an adjustable mobile wide belt thickness measurement system and structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] The technical background of the current belt thickness measurement field presents the characteristics of strong dependence on manual operation, significant defects of traditional solutions, and blankness of wide belt adaptation. The wide belt thickness measurement in the mining, port and other industries has long relied on manual shutdown inspection, which requires interrupting production, visually judging belt damage, and only identifying obvious cracks and measuring specific thickness. Walking inspection of ultra-wide / long-distance belts is time-consuming and labor-intensive, potential wear and tear risks are difficult to identify, and the reliability is poor. In the prior art, the thickness is calculated by separately arranging distance sensors above and below the conveyor belt, but the bending, tilting and fluctuation of the belt during operation can cause the detection data to be greater than the actual value. Laser detection requires linear laser sensors on the upper and lower sides of the belt, which wastes redundant sensors and cannot locate the steel wire position of the steel wire lined belt, making it difficult to measure the actual safety distance between the wear surface and the steel wire. The existing technology can only achieve single-point / local line measurement, and the face laser technology cannot obtain the complete cross-sectional shape of the roller and the belt, and there is no straight line module along the roller axis, which cannot cover the edge area of the ultra-wide belt, resulting in a measurement blind area and the inability to reflect the overall wear uniformity. The core premise of face laser measurement is that the face laser and the roller axis are accurately overlapped to ensure the correctness of the cross-sectional measurement reference, but the installation error and roller deformation of the wide belt conveyor can easily cause the laser axis to deviate. The existing patent has no cooperative mechanism for adjusting the elevation angle and the horizontal angle, and only relies on fixed installation, which cannot calibrate the alignment relationship between the laser and the axis, resulting in inconsistent cross-sectional measurement references at different positions of the wide belt. The load changes and roller vibrations during the operation of the wide belt can cause the belt to shift horizontally or tilt at an angle, and there is no real-time dynamic adjustment function. There is no elevation compensation mechanism to correct the deviation of the laser incidence angle caused by the belt tilt, and there is no horizontal angle fine adjustment function to respond to the horizontal shift, which cannot ensure that the face laser always covers the target area during measurement. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an adjustable mobile wide belt thickness measurement system and structure. SUMMARY

One end of the cable chain is fixed to the cable chain frame of the slide base, and the other end is connected to the cable interface of the measuring device to ensure that the cable does not get tangled when the module moves.
[0011] Example 2: As Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an adjustable movable wide belt thickness measurement system provided by an embodiment of the present invention specifically includes the following modules: Measurement and calibration module: Integrating mechanical positioning preload, dual-vector fitting calibration and multi-source noise suppression technology, it uses cross roller bearing positioning pin holes, least squares fitting of roller axis and laser surface vector, combined with bolt preload torque control and sliding window filtering to shorten calibration time and improve data purity; In a specific embodiment, reference data is collected. The laser emitting end of the starting surface covers the entire axial length of the roller, and the receiving end collects the coordinates of the light spots on both ends of the roller. and Simultaneously, the initial distance from the measuring device to the roller surface is recorded by the distance sensor built into the receiver. ; Horizontal angle calibration, based on data acquisition and Calculate the horizontal vector of the roller axis Simultaneously acquire the coordinates of the laser spot corresponding to the laser surface on the end face of the roller. and Calculate the horizontal vector of the laser surface Rotate the horizontal angle adjustment mechanism to monitor the angle deviation in real time until the deviation meets the preset angle deviation range, then tighten the knob. The specific method for calculating the angular deviation is as follows: Obtain the horizontal vector of the roller axis Horizontal vector of laser surface Through the formula: Analysis yielded angular deviation ,in, The horizontal vector magnitude of the roller axis. The horizontal vector magnitude of the laser surface; Elevation angle calibration, collecting the coordinates of the light spot on the middle surface of the roller. The height of the slide table is finely adjusted by the ball screw of the elevation adjustment support rod so that the laser surface completely covers the roller generatrix. The elevation angle deviation is calculated until the deviation meets the preset elevation angle deviation range, and then the elevation angle locking mechanism is locked. The specific method for calculating the elevation angle deviation is as follows: The coordinates of the light spot on the middle surface of the roller are obtained using the formula: Analysis yielded elevation angle deviation ; The laser receiver acquires the three-dimensional coordinates (x, y, z) and grayscale value of the laser spot, and synchronously outputs the initial distance from the device to the roller surface. ; A torque sensor, integrated into the horizontal / elevation locking mechanism, collects the locking torque value in real time to ensure that it meets the set locking torque threshold. Two-vector fitting was used to obtain the coordinates of the light spots on both ends of the roller using the least squares method. and Linear regression was performed to obtain the equation for the roller axis. The vectors are compared in real time with the laser surface vectors to eliminate abnormal vectors that exceed the preset axiality error range; Multi-order noise suppression involves removing outliers caused by vibration using box plots, and smoothing the remaining data using a 5-point sliding window filter. The formula is as follows: Reduce the impact of high-frequency vibration and noise; Preload torque verification: If the torque sensor value deviates from the set threshold by ±10%, an audible and visual alarm will be triggered, prompting the user to readjust the bolts / knobs to avoid calibration deviations caused by mechanical stress. Adjustment and compensation module: Designed grayscale abrupt change edge detection, travel adaptive redundancy and belt deviation trend prediction mechanism. It dynamically identifies belt edges through laser grayscale difference, presets travel redundancy to adapt to belt deviation; and combines historical data to predict belt deviation trend to adjust the module's starting position in advance. In a specific embodiment, the linear module is activated, driving the measuring device to move along the roller axis. The laser receiver collects the grayscale value of the belt surface. When the grayscale value changes abruptly from the background grayscale to the belt grayscale, it is marked as the belt edge coordinate. Continue moving until the grayscale value abruptly changes from the belt grayscale back to the background grayscale, then mark it as...

Each side has a 100mm redundancy to accommodate ±100mm belt misalignment during operation and to set the initial moving speed of the module. To pre-compensate for belt misalignment, historical operating data of the conveyor was retrieved, and the belt misalignment trend coefficient was calculated using linear regression. If the trend coefficient deviates If the deviation exceeds the preset deviation trend threshold, the module's starting position will be shifted in the deviation direction. To avoid missing edges during measurement; Start the module without load along the linear module travel. The slider moves back and forth three times, and the module encoder records the endpoint position of each movement to calculate the positioning error. ,in, The actual endpoint coordinates, To set the endpoint coordinates, if the positioning error... If the error exceeds the preset positioning range, the parallelism of the module will be corrected by adjusting the bolts at the bottom of the slide base. Simultaneously check the cable chain's extension and retraction status. If jamming occurs, adjust the position of the cable chain frame to ensure smooth movement. The laser receiver collects grayscale values and edge coordinates. The module encoder outputs slider position data in real time; the conveyor control system acquires belt misalignment data for nearly M hours.

If the PLC data is interrupted, the speed will be automatically switched to the laser Doppler velocimetry module built into the measuring device. The sampling frequency is matched with the module speed, and the sampling point interval in the belt running direction is set. Laser sampling frequency Ensure there are no data gaps in the running direction; set the interval for axial sampling points on the roller. linear module moving speed To ensure uniform axial sampling; The module slider starts from the pre-compensated starting position, at the module's initial moving speed.

Belt tilt will cause vertical distance Too large; adjust vertical distance based on real-time tilt angle. Also consider the effect of ambient light on vertical distance The influence of acquisition accuracy, introducing the ambient light coefficient. By correcting the formula: Analysis yields corrected vertical distance ,in, This represents the real-time tilt angle of the belt; Linear interpolation is used to correct the coordinates of the belt running direction. To ensure that the sampling points at different axial positions are evenly spaced along the running direction, the formula is: The alignment coordinates of the running direction were obtained through analysis. ,in, Let i be the timestamp of the i-th sampling point. This is the start timestamp; Calculate the standard deviation of grayscale values for each frame of data. ,like If the value is greater than 50, it indicates that the grayscale fluctuation within the frame is too large.
