[0002] In the coal mining process, the mined coal is transported out of the mine through a belt conveyor, so the normal operation of the belt conveyor is an important guarantee to ensure coal mining.

[0003] Due to long-term use and the harsh working environment in the mine, the belts used in the coal conveyor belt conveyor are easily torn and damaged, which in turn causes the belt to break and affects the normal operation of coal mining. Therefore, belt tearing cameras are installed along the coal conveyor belt conveyor to monitor the operation of the belt in real time through cameras and infrared lasers, and timely detect and warn of damage such as tearing.

[0004] In the currently configured cameras, the cameras and infrared lasers used are each equipped with corresponding window glass to prevent dust from entering and affecting the clarity of the shooting. However, during use, the flying dust in the mine is easy to adhere to the surface of the window glass, causing blurred pictures. Therefore, the window surface needs to be cleaned manually frequently. Once the operator is negligent and fails to clean the window surface in time, it will be detrimental to the real-time monitoring effect of the belt. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] Now the utility model is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The infrared laser 3 monitors the running condition of the belt used by the belt conveyor. The camera 2 is used to photograph the tearing phenomenon of the belt. A control main board is installed in the middle part of the box 1 through the bottom plate.

[0020] A cover 4 is fixed to the upper surface of the box body 1 , and a cover plate 5 is installed at the lower part. A window glass 6 corresponding to the position of the camera 2 is installed on the upper surface of the cover 4 , and a light window 7 corresponding to the position of the infrared laser 3 is embedded on the cover plate 5 .

[0021] A bracket 19 is fixed on the side of the box body 1, and a solenoid valve 8 is installed on the bracket 19. The control end of the solenoid valve 8 is connected to a tee 9, the water inlet end of the tee 9 is connected to an external water inlet pipe, and the water outlet end of the tee 9 is connected to a water outlet main pipe 10. The solenoid valve 8 controls the connection and disconnection between the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the tee 9; a water pipe support 20 is fixed on the upper surface of the box body 1, and the water outlet main pipe 10 is fixed on the water pipe support 20 by a pipe clamp 21.
