In addition, the suspension device 1 is provided with a driver to drive the suspension device 1 to move, so as to ensure that the suspension device 1 drives the chassis body 2 to reciprocate. It should also be noted that the suspension device 1 is connected to the chassis body 2 by a suspension arm to realize the smooth transmission of power, and the length of the suspension arm can be adjusted to adapt to the maintenance of belt conveyors of different models, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the maintenance robot.

[0044] Specifically, the lifting and raising device 4 includes two symmetrically arranged lifting plates, which are L-shaped and include a vertical plate and a horizontal plate. The vertical plate is connected to the chassis body 2 and can reciprocate in the vertical direction. The horizontal plate can extend under the belt of the belt conveyor and support the belt, so that the lifting plate can drive part of the belt of the belt conveyor to rise, thereby providing sufficient operating space for maintenance work and improving the working reliability of the maintenance robot.

[0045] Among them, the first clamp arm 5 has the function of rotating and moving, which ensures the movement flexibility of the first clamp arm 5. The first clamp arm 5 can adjust the position of the rollers and roller groups of the belt conveyor, adjust the screw of the screw tensioning device to increase the preload force to prevent the belt from slipping, and ensure the normal operation of the belt conveyor. At the same time, the first clamp arm 5 is also connected to a nut removal cylinder 11, which is used to remove the nut, so that the first clamp arm 5 can adjust the position of the rollers and roller groups of the belt conveyor, adjust the screw of the screw tensioning device to increase the preload force, and improve the maintenance work efficiency of the maintenance robot.

In other specific embodiments of the utility model, the cleaning arm 8 is detachably connected to the cleaning rod 12, and cleaning rods of different shapes can be adjusted according to actual working conditions to improve the flexibility and adaptability of the cleaning arm 8.

[0048] It should be emphasized that the maintenance component also includes a scanning system 9, which is arranged at the bottom of the chassis body 2 and facing the belt conveyor. The scanning system 9 is connected to the controller for communication. The scanning system 9 can scan the belt conveyor to build a three-dimensional model and transmit it back to the controller. The scanning system 9 can use a slam scanning system 9 to improve the scanning accuracy and scanning efficiency, and further improve the automation of the maintenance robot.

[0049] Embodiment 2

[0050] The structure of the maintenance robot 100 applicable to the belt conveyor of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment. This embodiment discloses the working process of the maintenance robot 100 applicable to the belt conveyor for different maintenance conditions.

[0051] 1. The uneven distribution of materials on the conveyor belt leads to different friction between the support roller, drive roller and conveyor belt, causing the conveyor belt to deviate.

[0052] First, the belt conveyor is scanned by the SLAM scanning system 9 and the 3D model is sent back to the inspection station for comparison with the initial 3D model. The position information of the transmission roller and the roller that need to be adjusted is fed back to the robot. The robot moves to the top of the transmission roller and scientifically adjusts the transmission roller to the correct position through the second clamping arm 7. At the same time, the belt at the position where the roller needs to be adjusted is raised by the lifting and raising device 4. After the roller is removed by the first clamping arm 5, it is moved to the correct installation position and reinstalled. After that, the belt is lowered to the normal level. Then it moves to the tensioning device of the belt conveyor and adjusts the tensioning device through the first clamping arm 5 to ensure that the direction of the force of the transmission roller is consistent with the running direction of the conveyor belt, ensuring that the force of the conveyor belt is balanced. At the same time, the cleaning robot arm 8 is used to adjust the unevenly distributed materials to the appropriate position. After processing, the information is stored and sent back to the monitoring station.

[0053] 2. Deviation of the conveyor belt caused by deviation of the position of the load-bearing roller group:

[0054] First, the belt is scanned by the SLAM scanning system 9 and the three-dimensional model is transmitted back to the monitoring station. The position information of the deviation roller group and the information on which side of the belt is deviated are accurately located by the UBW positioning system and fed back to the robot. After the robot moves to the corresponding position, the belt at the corresponding position is first raised by the lifting and raising device 4, and then the roller group on the side of the belt that is deviated is removed by the first clamping arm 5 and moved forward in the forward direction of the belt or the roller group on the other side that is deviated is moved backward and reinstalled, and then the belt is lowered to the normal height. Alternatively, the first clamping arm 5 is used to adjust the upper and lower branch rollers through the mounting processing long holes installed on both sides of the roller group during design and manufacturing. After processing, the information is stored and transmitted back to the monitoring station.

[0055] 3. Deviation of the conveyor belt caused by deviation of the position of the driving roller and the redirecting roller:

[0056] First, the belt is scanned by the SLAM scanning system 9 and the three-dimensional model is sent back to the monitoring station for comparison. The UBW positioning system accurately locates the correct position information of the driving roller and the redirecting roller that needs to be adjusted and the information on which side of the belt is deviating, and feeds back to the robot. The robot moves to the driving roller, and the second clamping arm 7 moves the roller bearing seat on the deviating side forward along the belt transportation direction or moves the bearing seat on the other side of the deviation backward. Or adjust the position of the redirecting roller. It should be noted that the adjustment method and direction of the tail roller (redirecting roller) is exactly opposite to that of the head roller (driving roller). After the fault is handled, the information is stored and sent back to the monitoring station.

[0057] 4. The conveyor belt deviates due to the uneven belt diameter caused by coal sticking to the outer surface of the drum:

[0058] First, the belt is scanned by the SLAM scanning system 9 and the three-dimensional model is transmitted back to the monitoring station. The monitoring station feeds back the information of the coal sticking on the outer surface of the drum and the position of the coal sticking to the robot. After the robot moves to the drum position, the cleaning robot arm 8 cleans the coal sticking on the outer surface of the drum to ensure that the belt diameter is uniform and the belt conveyor works normally. After the fault is handled, the information is stored and transmitted back to the monitoring station.

[0059] 5. Conveyor belt slippage caused by insufficient tension of the tensioning device:

[0060] 5.1 Heavy hammer tensioning device:

[0061] First, the belt is scanned by the slam scanning system 9 and the three-dimensional model is transmitted back to the monitoring station. The monitoring station feeds back the information of insufficient tension of the weight tensioning device to the robot. The robot moves to the weight tensioning device and continuously increases the weight mass through the second clamping arm 7 to increase the preload between the belt and the transmission roller. It should be noted that the weight mass should be appropriate and not too large, otherwise it will easily cause the belt to bear a large tension and reduce the service life of the belt. After the fault is handled, the information is stored and transmitted back to the monitoring station.

[0062] 5.2 Screw type tensioning device:

[0063] First, the belt is scanned by the SLAM scanning system 9 and the three-dimensional model is transmitted back to the monitoring station. The monitoring station feeds back the information of insufficient tension of the screw-type tensioning device to the robot. The robot moves to the screw-type tensioning device and controls the screw through the first clamping arm 5 to appropriately increase the tension of the screw to increase the preload between the belt and the transmission drum. After the fault is handled, the information is stored and transmitted back to the monitoring station.

[0064] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principle and implementation of the present invention. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of ​​the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
