Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in the field of mine roadway excavation, tunneling machines and other equipment are increasingly being used. Tunneling machines are used for excavating coal roadways, semi-coal-rock roadways, or rock roadways, with an economical cutting hardness f≤9. They are suitable for excavating coal mine preparation roadways with various types of floor plates and slopes of ±18°, and can also be used for tunnel construction in railways, highways, and hydraulic engineering projects. Whether it is routine maintenance by the mine or a major overhaul after the scheduled maintenance period, the parts on the tunneling machine, including electrical components, need to be inspected to determine whether repair or replacement is necessary. Especially after long-term use, even if the parts have no obvious external damage and their functions are basically normal, it is difficult to ensure that their performance still meets the requirements. Without proper inspection, malfunctions are inevitable during use, and once a malfunction occurs, it will seriously affect the stable operation of the equipment and the progress of the work.

When testing the control host of the tunneling machine, the non-destructive testing platform can simulate different signals such as lights, gas, emergency stop, oil pump motor, cutting motor, and leakage lockout. If the component under test is a normal part, the display screen will show that the function is normal. If the component under test is a normal control host, the switch is toggled, and the non-destructive testing platform simulates the corresponding signal, the corresponding indicator light illuminates, and the display screen shows that the function is normal.
