[0021] The driving structure 4 includes a mounting seat 401, the outer surface of the support rod 5 is threadedly connected to the mounting seat 401, the mounting seat 401 has a mounting hole 402, the mounting seat 401 has a heat dissipation hole 403, and the mounting seat 401 is fixedly connected to a rubber strip 404;
[0022] In a specific implementation, six threaded holes are opened in the interior of the fixed support plate 1 and are distributed at equal intervals. During the installation of the detection device body, the detection device and the scraper can be threadedly connected by using bolts.
[0023] When implementing, follow these steps:
[0024] 1) Start the control box 3 first, so that the time relay inside the control box 3 is used to monitor the running status of the scraper conveyor. At this time, the PLC controller 2 is used to control the operation of the scraper conveyor and upstream equipment, and at the same time feedback the equipment status to the industrial computer;
[0025] 2) Then the sound and light alarm inside the PLC controller 2 is used to send out sound and light alarms to notify the post operators, and the industrial computer is used to display the equipment operation status and control and supervise the equipment;
[0026] 3) During the normal production and transportation process of the scraper, the scraper will hit the two impact rods 6 on the detection device at a fixed frequency at the same time, and hit the metal sensor 7 installed on the rod 6. At this time, the metal sensor 7 will move back and forth with the impact rod 6;
[0027] 4) Finally, a proximity switch is installed at the end point of the reciprocating motion. Each time the metal sensing device reaches the end point, the normally open point proximity switches SQ1 and SQ2 are closed, the circuit is energized, the normally open contacts (5-9) of the intermediate relay are energized to close, the normally closed contacts (2-10) are energized to open, and the time relays KT1 (1-3) and KT2 (1-3) are energized to reset within a fixed time, completing a cycle.
[0028] In summary, the scraper conveyor chain skipping, chain slanting and chain breaking detection device is provided with a driving structure 4 and cooperates with the use of a control box 3. During operation, the time relay inside the control box 3 is used to monitor the operation status of the scraper conveyor. At this time, the PLC controller 2 is used to control the operation of the scraper conveyor and upstream equipment, and to feedback the equipment status to the industrial computer. At the same time, the sound and light alarm inside the PLC controller 2 is used to send out sound and light alarms to notify the post operators. The industrial computer is used to display the equipment operation status and control and supervise the equipment. At the same time, the scraper conveyor is in the normal production and transportation process. In the process, the scraper will hit the two impact rods 6 on the detection device at a fixed frequency at the same time, and the metal sensor 7 installed on the impact rod 6 will be hit. At this time, the metal sensor 7 will make a reciprocating motion together with the impact rod 6. A proximity switch is installed at the end of the reciprocating motion. When the metal sensing device reaches the end point each time, the normally open point proximity switches SQ1 and SQ2 are closed, the circuit is energized, the normally open contacts (5-9) of the intermediate relay are energized to close, and the normally closed contacts (2-10) are energized to open. The time relays KT1 (1-3) and KT2 (1-3) will be energized to reset within a fixed time, completing a cycle.
[0029] In addition, by installing a time relay and an industrial control computer inside the control box 3, when a chain jump, chain breakage or inclined chain occurs during transportation, the scraper conveyor scraper will be out of sync when hitting the impact rod 6. At this time, the scraper will hit the impact rod 6 front and back, and the two proximity switches will be closed at different time periods, which will cause the intermediate relay to be unable to get power for a long time, forming a path. When the time exceeds the set time of the time relay KT1 or KT2 and cannot be reset, one of the delay coils (6-8) of the time relay KT1 (6-8) or KT2 (6-8) will always be closed, and a fault signal will be transmitted to the PLC controller 2. The PLC controller 2 controls the on-site equipment according to the pre-set program, controls the sound and light alarm to alarm, and at the same time, the dispatching desk industrial control machine will display the scraper conveyor fault, and the dispatcher will notify the post personnel to handle it.
[0030] Example 2: Time relay is used to monitor the operating status of the scraper conveyor
[0031] During normal production and transportation of the scraper conveyor, the KM AC contactor is energized and attracted, and the scraper will simultaneously hit the two impact rods on the detection device at a fixed frequency, and the metal sensing device installed on the impact rod will make a reciprocating motion together with the impact rod. A proximity switch is installed at the end of the reciprocating motion. When the metal sensing device reaches the end point each time, the normally open point proximity switches SQ1 and SQ2 are closed, the circuit is energized, the normally open contacts (5-9) of the intermediate relays KT1 (1-3) and KT2 (1-3) are energized to close, and the normally closed contacts (2-10) are energized to open. The time relay will be energized to reset within a fixed time, completing a cycle.
[0032] When the chain jumps, breaks or tilts during transportation, the scraper conveyor will be out of sync when hitting the impact rod. At this time, the scraper will hit the impact rod front and back, and the two proximity switches will be closed at different time periods, which will cause the intermediate relay to be unable to get power for a long time, forming a path. When the time exceeds the set time of the time relay KT1 or KT2 and cannot be reset, the time relay will always make one of the KT1 (6-8) or KT2 (6-8) energized delay coils (6-8) closed, and transmit a fault signal to the PLC controller. The PLC controls the on-site equipment according to the pre-set program and controls the sound and light alarm to alarm. At the same time, the dispatching desk industrial control machine will display the scraper conveyor fault, and the dispatcher will notify the post personnel to handle it.
