Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of coal mine safety, in particular to a transmission belt monitoring and protection device for a mine conveyor. Background Art
[0002] Belt conveyor is the most widely used machine for transporting materials in coal mines. Its main working principle is to use the belt for long-distance transportation. The friction between the conveyor belt and the roller is an important measure to ensure normal operation. However, during use, the belt conveyor is frequently started and stopped, which easily causes the belt tension to drop and break. As a result, after the tensioning device runs away, it cannot stop in time, causing the belt to slip, causing the drive roller to grind the belt for a long time, resulting in: frame damage, belt tearing, drive roller wear and debonding, and may cause a large amount of harmful smoke due to friction, causing personnel poisoning, fire and other accidents, seriously restricting the safe production work in the mine. Therefore, the tensioning part of the coal mine belt conveyor needs to be installed with a belt tension drop protection to detect the belt breakage phenomenon in time.
[0003] The existing modification device is to install a limit switch on the tensioning trolley guide rail. When the tensioning force drops or breaks, the tensioning trolley moves and hits the limit switch, causing the limit switch protection to take effect and the belt to stop. However, this method cannot quickly and accurately locate when the belt breaks, and its performance is unreliable. The tensioning force varies greatly with the heavy-load and light-load starts of the belt conveyor, making it difficult to control accurately and often causing malfunctions. The limit switch has no effective protection measures and cannot be reused once it is damaged by falling large pieces of coal gangue. Since the working environment of the belt conveyor is relatively harsh, once the falling coal gangue triggers the travel switch to cause malfunction, it will affect the normal production progress and reduce work efficiency. Since the tensioning trolley has a large impact force during movement, it is easy to damage the limit switch, which increases enterprise costs and causes waste of manpower and resources.

[0020] Figure 2 This is an electrical schematic diagram of a conveyor belt monitoring and protection device for a mining conveyor according to an embodiment of the present utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] In order to facilitate those skilled in the art to understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0022] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0023] See also Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a conveyor belt monitoring and protection device for a mining conveyor, comprising a proximity switch 10, a permanent magnet 20, a time delay relay, and an intermediate relay. The permanent magnet 20 is fixedly positioned within an auxiliary rod 120 at the bottom of the conveyor. The proximity switch 10 is fixedly connected to the conveyor via a bracket 110 and is located at the bottom of the conveyor, to one side of the permanent magnet 20. The time delay relay and the intermediate relay are connected to the proximity switch 10.
[0024] In this embodiment, auxiliary rollers 120 are positioned below the conveyor belt 130 on the conveyor. When the tension in the conveyor belt 130 drops below a certain level, it naturally sags and contacts the auxiliary rollers 120. During operation, the conveyor belt 130 drives the auxiliary rollers 120. The auxiliary rollers 120, as used in this technical field, assist the conveyor belt 130 in supporting and driving the drooping conveyor belt 130. Furthermore, they reduce the impact of the conveyor belt 130's operating force.
[0025] In this embodiment, under normal circumstances, the permanent magnet 20 is positioned within the auxiliary roller 120, outside the distance range for the proximity switch 10 to generate the Hall effect. Rotation of the auxiliary roller 120 drives the permanent magnet 20 to rotate synchronously. When the permanent magnet 20 and the proximity switch 10 are on the same side, the permanent magnet 20 is within the distance range for the proximity switch 10 to generate the Hall effect. Rotation of the auxiliary roller 120 indicates slack in the conveyor belt 130. When the permanent magnet 20 and the proximity switch 10 are on the same side, the proximity switch 10 detects the distance hill, or in other words, the Hall effect on the Hall element on the detection surface causes the switch's internal circuit state to change, thereby identifying the presence of a nearby magnetic object, such as the permanent magnet 20, and controlling the on / off state of the proximity switch 10. More specifically, the proximity switch 10 is secured by a bracket 110 no more than 10 mm from the end face of the auxiliary roller 120. The highest point of the auxiliary roller 120 is 2 mm from the working surface of the lower conveyor belt.
[0026] In this embodiment, the proximity switch 10 is specifically a Hall-type proximity switch. Two-wire Hall-type proximity switches are subject to operating conditions, generating a certain voltage drop when the switch is on and a certain residual current when it is off. These factors should be considered when selecting a switch. A three-wire proximity switch, while having an additional wire, is not subject to adverse factors such as residual current and operates more reliably. Therefore, a three-wire Hall-type proximity switch is employed in this embodiment. The three-wire Hall-type proximity switch includes two power lines and a signal line. The two power lines are connected to the positive and negative poles of the power supply according to polarity, respectively. The signal line is connected to the load. If the output of the three-wire Hall-type proximity switch uses a common-anode thyristor, the other end of the load is connected to the positive pole of the power supply. If the output of the three-wire Hall-type proximity switch uses a common-cathode thyristor, the other end of the load is connected to the negative pole of the power supply, which is then grounded.
[0027] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the time delay relay includes a time delay relay coil KT, a time delay normally closed auxiliary contact KT CB And delayed normally open auxiliary contact KT CK . And the delay relay coil KT is energized, delaying the normally closed auxiliary contact KT CB Contact disconnection, delayed normally open auxiliary contact KT CK The contact is closed, and the delay relay coil KT is connected in series with the proximity switch 10.
[0028] In this embodiment, the intermediate relay includes an intermediate relay coil K and an action normally closed auxiliary contact K CB The intermediate relay coil K and the time delay relay's normally open auxiliary contact KT CK Series connection, action normally closed auxiliary contact K CB The device is connected in series with a device capable of controlling the start and stop of the conveyor, wherein the device capable of controlling the start and stop of the conveyor is connected in series with, for example, an on-site emergency stop control circuit or a PLC controller.
[0029] In this embodiment, the conveyor belt monitoring and protection device of the mining conveyor also includes a normal state indicator light HG, an abnormal state indicator light HR, an alarm bell L and a reset switch QS. Among them, the normal state indicator light HG and the delayed normally closed auxiliary contact KT CB Series connection; abnormal status indicator light HR and delayed normally open auxiliary contact KT CK In series, the alarm bell L is connected in parallel with the intermediate relay coil K, and the reset switch QS is connected in series with the proximity switch 10. Specifically, the normal state indicator light HG is green, and the abnormal state indicator light HR is red.
[0030] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment of the present utility model, when the conveyor belt 130 of the conveyor operates normally, the belt does not contact the auxiliary roller 120, the auxiliary roller 120 does not rotate, and the proximity switch 10 cannot detect the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 20, it is in a stationary state as a normally open state, the delay relay and the intermediate relay do not operate, and the output is normally open at this time, and the normal state indicator light HG is on.
[0031] When the conveyor belt 130 of the conveyor breaks or the tension drops, the conveyor belt 130 falls due to gravity and touches the auxiliary roller 120, driving it to rotate. At this time, the proximity switch 10 detects a magnetic signal. The delay relay and the intermediate relay start to operate after receiving the proximity switch 10 transmission signal three times (to prevent false operation). The delay normally closed auxiliary contact KT CB Becomes open circuit, delayed normally open auxiliary contact KT CK On / off, abnormal status indicator HR lights up, and the normally closed auxiliary contact K is activated CB The delayed disconnect signal is then output to the emergency stop device. Once the emergency stop device disconnects, the PLC controller detects the disconnection and stops the connected conveyor belt. When an alarm is installed, the PLC controller detects the disconnection of the emergency stop device and controls the alarm to sound, alerting personnel in a timely manner. The normally closed contacts of the emergency stop device are activated and transmitted via a signal line to the PLC controller or the integrated conveyor belt protector, causing the belt to stop. The protective device is tested by pressing the test button twice in succession to verify that the protective device is in normal working order.
