SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS

[0054] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0055] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, this embodiment proposes an on-line fault detection system for a low-cost scraper conveyor, including: a trough body 1, a scraper 2, a laser rangefinder 3, a detection mechanism, a cleaning mechanism and a conveying mechanism. There are multiple scrapers 2, and all the multiple scrapers 2 are arranged in the trough body 1. There are two laser rangefinders 3, and both of the two laser rangefinders 3 are arranged on the trough body 1. Through the cooperation among the trough body 1, the scraper 2, the laser rangefinder 3, the detection mechanism, the cleaning mechanism and the conveying mechanism, it is convenient to automatically and on-line detect the operation state of the scraper 2 machine, reduce the failure rate and improve the conveying efficiency.

[0056] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, a detection mechanism is arranged on the trough body 1 for detecting the running state of the scraper 2. The detection mechanism includes: a reflector 4, a fixing frame 5, a condenser barrel 6 and a moving component. Two condenser barrels 6 are both arranged directly above two rows of reflectors 4. Through grooves are formed in both condenser barrels 6. There are multiple reflectors 4. Two reflectors 4 are fixedly connected to each scraper 2. There are two fixing frames 5. Both fixing frames 5 are fixedly connected to the trough body 1. There are two condenser barrels 6. The two condenser barrels 6 are respectively fixedly connected to the two fixing frames 5. Two laser rangefinders 3 are respectively arranged above the two condenser barrels 6. There are two moving components. The two moving components are respectively arranged on the two fixing frames 5 for driving the laser rangefinders 3 to move. The moving component includes: a fixing plate 7 and a first electric cylinder 8. The fixing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 5. The first electric cylinder 8 is arranged on the fixing plate 7. The output end of the first electric cylinder 8 penetrates through the fixing plate 7 and is fixedly connected to the laser rangefinder 3. Specifically, when the scraper 2 moves, it drives the reflector 4 to pass through the bottom of the condenser barrel 6. The laser rangefinder 3 projects the laser through the condenser barrel 6 onto the reflector 4, thereby detecting the movement state of the scraper 2.

[0057] As Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, a cleaning mechanism is arranged on the tank body 1 to ensure the normal use of the laser rangefinder 3. The cleaning mechanism includes: a stabilizing frame 9, a cleaning disc 10, rubber sheets 11, a driving component and a spraying component. The two rubber sheets 11 are both arranged in a cross shape and are in contact with two of the reflector plates 4. There are two stabilizing frames 9, and the two stabilizing frames 9 are both fixedly connected to the tank body 1. There are two cleaning discs 10, and the two cleaning discs 10 are respectively rotatably connected to the two stabilizing frames 9. There are two rubber sheets 11, and the two rubber sheets 11 are respectively fixedly connected to the two cleaning discs 10. The driving component is arranged on the two stabilizing frames 9 and is used to drive the two cleaning discs 10 to rotate. The spraying component is arranged on the tank body 1 and is used to spray and clean the reflector plates 4. The driving component includes: driving wheels 12, a transmission belt 13, a rotating gear 14, a power gear 15 and a first motor 16. There are two driving wheels 12, and the two driving wheels 12 are respectively fixedly connected to the two cleaning discs 10. The transmission belt 13 is connected in a transmission manner between the two driving wheels 12. The rotating gear 14 is fixedly connected to one of the driving wheels 12. The power gear 15 is rotatably arranged on one of the stabilizing frames 9, and the power gear 15 meshes with the rotating gear 14. The first motor 16 is arranged on one of the stabilizing frames 9, and the output end of the first motor 16 is fixedly connected to the power gear 15. The spraying component includes: a water tank 17, a water pump 18, a spraying pipe 19 and atomizing nozzles 20. A support frame 25 is fixedly connected to the tank body 1, and the spraying pipe 19 is fixedly connected to the support frame 25. The water tank 17 is fixedly connected to the tank body 1. The water pump 18 is arranged on the tank body 1, the input end of the water pump 18 is communicated with the water tank 17, the spraying pipe 19 is arranged on the tank body 1, and the output end of the water pump 18 is communicated with the spraying pipe 19. There are two atomizing nozzles 20, and the two atomizing nozzles 20 are both communicated with the spraying pipe 19. Specifically, the water in the water tank 17 is pumped out by the water pump 18, and the water is sprayed onto the reflector plates 4 through the spraying pipe 19 and the atomizing nozzles 20. Then, the first motor 16 arranged on the stabilizing frame 9 drives the power gear 15 and the rotating gear 14 to rotate. When the rotating gear 14 rotates, it drives the driving wheel 12 to rotate. Through the transmission of the transmission belt 13, the two driving wheels 12 and the two cleaning discs 10 are driven to rotate. When the two cleaning discs 10 rotate, the two rubber sheets 11 drive the water and dust on the reflector plates 4 to be wiped off.

[0058] As Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, a conveying mechanism is arranged in the trough 1 and is used to drive a plurality of scraping plates 2 to move. The conveying mechanism includes: a rotating rod 21, a sprocket 22, a chain 23, and a second motor 24. There are two rotating rods 21, and both of the two rotating rods 21 are rotatably connected in the trough 1. There are a plurality of sprockets 22, and two sprockets 22 are fixedly connected to each rotating rod 21. There are two chains 23, and the two chains 23 are respectively drivingly connected between two adjacent sprockets 22. A plurality of scraping plates 2 are all arranged between the two chains 23. The second motor 24 is arranged on the trough 1, and the output end of the second motor 24 is fixedly connected to one of the rotating rods 21. Specifically, the second motor 24 drives the rotating rod 21 to rotate. When the rotating rod 21 rotates, it drives the sprocket 22 to rotate, and drives a plurality of scraping plates 2 to move through the transmission of the chain 23.

[0059] In this embodiment, when detecting the operating state of the scraping plate 2, during the operation of the scraping plate 2 machine, the scraping plate 2 sequentially passes through two laser rangefinders 3. The laser rangefinders 3 measure the distance above each scraping plate 2 and the time when two adjacent scraping plates 2 pass by. The PLC receives the signals of the two laser rangefinders 3. At the initial stage of system operation, first, a self-check operation is performed on the well-operating scraping plate 2 machine, and the control system records the basic parameters of the operation of the scraping plate 2 machine, including the maximum, minimum, and average time for the scraping plate 2 to pass through the two laser rangefinders 3, the maximum time difference for the two ends of the scraping plate 2 to pass through the two laser rangefinders 3, and the maximum distance and average distance information of the scraping plate 2 relative to the laser rangefinders 3.

[0060] In order to distinguish between the two laser rangefinders 3, we divide the two laser rangefinders 3 into a first laser rangefinder 3 and a second laser rangefinder 3, and divide the two chains 23 opposite to the two laser rangefinders 3 into a first chain 23 and a second chain 23. When a fault occurs in the scraping plate 2 machine, the discrimination is as follows:

[0061] When the scraping plate 2 machine has a chain floating fault, the chain 23 of the scraping plate 2 comes off the sprocket 22. The chain 23 and the scraping plate 2 move downward and tilt forward and backward compared with the normal state position (the normal state position is the relevant self-check parameters). Compared with the normal state, the distance between the scraping plate 2 and the first laser rangefinder 3 increases significantly, and there is a long time difference in the distance signals of the two laser rangefinders 3 measuring the scraping plate 2. It can be judged that a chain floating fault occurs at the first place.

[0062] When the scraping plate 2 machine has a chain break fault, initially one of the chains breaks. If it is not discovered in time, it may cause the motor to be overloaded and powered off due to the chain 23 winding or the other chain 23 being pulled off. Compared with normal operation, the distance measured by the first laser rangefinder 3 above the scraping plate 2 increases significantly, and the second laser rangefinder 3 exceeds the detection distance for a long time. From this, it can be judged that the second chain 23 is broken.

[0063] If one side or all of the scraper 2 falls off, when the fallen scraper 2 passes by the laser rangefinder 3, there is no normal distance signal. The system detects that no signal of the scraper 2 is detected within 1.5 times the time period when the scraper 2 passes by. When other scrapers 2 pass by, the signal is normal, and it can be judged that the fault of the scraper 2 falling off has occurred.

[0064] When the scraper 2 machine is running normally, the time for the scraper 2 to pass by the laser rangefinder 3 is almost the same. The system measures the time for a group of scrapers 2 (such as 10) to pass by the laser rangefinder 3. If it exceeds the allowable range, it can be judged that a stall fault has occurred.

[0065] When the scraper 2 machine is in a normal state, the average distance from each scraper 2 to the laser rangefinder 3 is calculated. After long-term use, the chain 23 of the scraper 2 is elongated, and the average distance from each scraper 2 to the laser rangefinder increases. It can be judged that the chain 23 of the scraper 2 is elongated. The fault alarm of the scraper 2 machine is divided into a first-level alarm and a second-level alarm. The floating chain, elongation, and falling off of the scraper 2 of the scraper 2 machine are second-level alarms to remind personnel to check; when the scraper 2 machine has a broken chain or serious stall, a first-level alarm is issued and the system stops the relevant equipment.

[0066] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
