[0021] As a further improvement, the proximity switch bracket is arranged transversely on the back of the conveyor belt, the rear of the proximity switch is fixedly connected to the proximity switch bracket, and the front of the proximity switch is arranged opposite to the conveyor belt and perpendicular to the metal strip.

[0022] As a further improvement, the conveyor belt bracket is arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt, and both ends of the proximity switch bracket are fixedly connected to the conveyor belt bracket.

[0023] The utility model has a simple structure, is easy to use, and has high working efficiency. It uses metal strips buried in the conveyor belt (the metal strips are regularly distributed). Under normal circumstances, when the PLC receives the metal strip signals from two proximity switches at the same time, it determines that the belt is centered. When the belt deviates, the proximity switch can only sense the metal strip on one side, thereby determining the deviation of the belt. In the event of an abnormality, a signal will be sent to the PLC system to be displayed on the production system screen, and the sound and light alarm system to prompt the occurrence of an abnormality.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the conveyor belt abnormal state detection and alarm system consists of three parts: a monitoring system, an electronic control system, and an alarm system.

[0025] The monitoring system consists of proximity switches and regularly distributed metal strips. The proximity switch is an ideal electronic switch sensor that can be operated without mechanical direct contact with the moving metal strip parts. When the metal strip is used as the detection body to approach the sensing area of ​​the switch, the switch can quickly issue electrical instructions without contact, pressure, or sparks, accurately reflecting the position and stroke of the moving mechanism. It has good positioning accuracy, operating frequency, service life, convenience of installation and adjustment, and applicability to harsh environments. It has good sensing performance, reliable operation, stable performance, and fast frequency response.

[0026] The electronic control system consists of a PLC system and a communication system. The PLC system is used to receive signals input from the monitoring system and output command signals to the alarm system. The communication module is connected to the PLC system to transmit PLC information to the production and manufacturing system. When the conveyor belt deviates, slips, sticks, or is blocked, the PLC transmits the alarm information to the alarm system sound and light alarm.

[0027] Alarm system sound and light alarm. Sound and light alarm is connected to the control system to remind the staff of abnormal situation.

[0028] The proximity switch is installed at the bottom of the belt and does not contact the material. The metal strip is buried inside the belt and does not contact the material. It can be applied to belts of various specifications. The proximity switch is a position switch that can be operated without direct mechanical contact with the metal strip. When the metal strip approaches the sensing surface of the switch to the action distance, the switch can be operated without mechanical contact or any pressure, thereby driving DC appliances or providing control instructions to computer (PLC) devices. It has a long service life, strong anti-interference ability, and is waterproof, shockproof, and corrosion-resistant.

[0029] The utility model includes three parts: monitoring system, electric control system and alarm system. When the belt is in the middle, adjust the installation position and height of the two proximity switches so that the outermost end of the metal strip (the side close to the edge of the belt) is directly below the proximity switch, and the height is 2 to 4 mm from the belt surface. The function of the proximity switch is to serve as a detection element for abnormal belt conditions. Under normal circumstances, when the PLC receives the metal strip signals from the two proximity switches at the same time, it determines that the belt is in the middle. When the belt deviates, the proximity switch can only sense the metal strip on one side, and the deviation of the belt is determined accordingly.

[0030] When the device is used, the proximity switch bracket is installed on the conveyor belt frame, and the proximity switch is installed at both ends of the conveyor belt frame, with a height of 2 to 4 mm from the conveyor belt surface. When the belt is running, the proximity switch can detect the regular metal strip signal abnormality at the same time. If an abnormality occurs, the signal will be sent to the PLC system to display on the production system screen, and the sound and light alarm system to prompt the abnormality.

[0031] The monitoring system monitors whether the signal is a regular signal. If it is a regular signal, the conveyor belt is normal. If it is an irregular signal (including unilateral and bilateral irregularity), a fault has occurred and the fault signal is transmitted to the PLC. The alarm signal is transmitted through the PLC of the electronic control system, and the fault is transmitted to the production system through the communication module. Manual intervention on the conveyor belt is performed based on the alarm signal. For example, if there is a fault signal on one side and a regular signal on the other side, it means that the belt is deviating. If there are fault signals on both sides (irregular signals), it means slipping or sticking.

[0032] The detection alarm system of the utility model is accurate and efficient, reliable in operation, stable in performance, long in service life, strong in anti-interference ability, simple in device structure, convenient and quick in installation, safe and reliable, does not affect material transportation, has wide applicability, and can be applied to various types of belts.

[0033] It should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the non-limiting embodiments, and it should be understood that the non-limiting embodiments are only described as examples. The substantial protection scope required by this application is further reflected in the scope provided by the independent claims, as well as its dependent claims.
