Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of conveying auxiliary equipment, and particularly relates to a monitoring device for monitoring the health status of a conveyor belt in real time. Background Art

[0002] As an important component of industrial production, conveyor belts are widely used in mining, metallurgy, coal, ports, electricity, chemical industry and other fields. Due to the long-term operation of conveyor belts, problems such as surface wear, cracks, tears, and aging of joints are prone to occur. If these problems are not dealt with in a timely manner, they will lead to equipment failure, which will affect the operating efficiency of the entire production line. Traditional conveyor belt inspection methods mainly rely on manual inspection or physical contact for flaw detection, such as infrared inspection and vibration inspection. However, these methods usually require equipment shutdown, low inspection efficiency and large human errors. At the same time, the installation of detection equipment is complicated, and it is difficult to achieve real-time online monitoring. Especially for large-scale continuous production scenarios, the maintenance and inspection costs are high, which cannot meet the needs of modern industrial production for real-time monitoring of equipment health status.

[0003] An existing device for monitoring longitudinal tearing of a conveyor belt of a belt conveyor (publication number: CN221586969U) has the following inconveniences:

[0004] 1. Unable to monitor in real time: Most traditional detection methods cannot achieve remote data transmission and real-time monitoring. The detection data needs to be recorded and analyzed manually, and timely fault warnings cannot be provided. Therefore, a monitoring device that can monitor in real time is urgently needed.

[0005] 2. Stoppage detection: Currently common conveyor belt detection methods, such as infrared detection or physical contact flaw detection, usually require equipment shutdown, affecting production efficiency and making real-time monitoring impossible. Therefore, a monitoring device that does not require shutdown is urgently needed.

[0006] 3. Complex installation: Existing detection equipment is cumbersome to install and difficult to maintain. It cannot be easily fixed in the conveyor belt system, especially in large-scale conveyor belt systems. The disassembly and maintenance costs are high, so there is an urgent need for a monitoring device that is easy to install. Utility Model Content

[0007] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a monitoring device for real-time monitoring of the health status of a conveyor belt, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a monitoring device for real-time monitoring of the health status of a conveyor belt, comprising a monitoring device body, an ultrasonic flaw detection module is arranged inside the monitoring device body, a remote data transmission module is arranged on the right side of the monitoring device body, a power connection hole is arranged on the right side of the monitoring device body, fixing clips are arranged on both sides of the monitoring device body, a fixing threaded hole is arranged in the middle of the fixing clip, a data processing module is arranged in the middle of the two ultrasonic flaw detection modules, a data line is arranged between the data processing module and the ultrasonic flaw detection module, and the top of the data processing module is connected to the remote data transmission module through the data line.

[0009] Furthermore, the top ends of the remote data transmission module and the ultrasonic flaw detection module extend to the top end of the monitoring device body.

[0010] Furthermore, support columns are provided at the four corners of the lower end of the ultrasonic flaw detection module, and the other ends of the support columns are connected to the inner wall of the monitoring device body.

[0011] Furthermore, four ultrasonic flaw detection modules are provided.

[0012] Furthermore, the power connection hole is directly connected to the remote data transmission module.

[0013] Furthermore, there are two data processing modules.

[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. By setting up a remote data transmission module, the ultrasonic flaw detection module feeds monitoring data back to the data processing module. After processing, the data is transmitted to the remote data transmission module via a data line. The remote data transmission module uploads the monitoring data in real time, bringing the following benefits: Real-time data upload: Through the remote data transmission module, monitoring data can be uploaded to the remote server or monitoring terminal immediately without manual intervention. This allows operators to understand the health status of the conveyor belt at any time, facilitate timely handling of potential problems, and improve the automation level and response speed of the production line.

[0016] 2. The ultrasonic flaw detection module enables non-contact detection using the properties of ultrasound, eliminating the need for machine downtime. This provides the following benefits: No downtime required: Traditional conveyor belt inspection methods typically require machine downtime, but the ultrasonic flaw detection module enables online inspection without downtime. This reduces production interruptions caused by inspections and significantly improves production efficiency, especially in production environments that require long, continuous operations.

[0017] 3. By providing fixing clips and fixing threaded holes, the clips are used to clamp the columns on both sides of the conveyor belt, and then bolts are screwed into the fixing threaded holes to fix it to the lower end of the conveyor belt. When not needed, the bolts are removed and the device can be removed, making it easy to install and remove, and providing the following benefits: Quick installation and removal: The design of the fixing clips and threaded holes makes the installation and removal of the device very convenient. The clips are used to clamp the columns on both sides of the conveyor belt, and then bolts are screwed into the threaded holes to fix it. When it is not needed, just remove the bolts and the device can be quickly removed without the use of complex tools or tedious operations. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
