[0062] Please refer toFigure 1 The embodiment provides a scraper type conveying device fault detection device, which comprises the following components.

[0063] a base 1;

[0064] a first fixed support 2, which is fixedly arranged on the base 1;

[0065] a movable support 3, one end of which is rotatably arranged on the first fixed support 2;

[0066] a sprocket 4, the gear teeth of which are engaged to a chain of the scraper type conveying device, and a transmission shaft 8 of the sprocket 4 is movably arranged on the movable support 3 through a bearing 9;

[0067] an adjusting support, which is arranged between the movable support 3 and the base 1, and is used for adjusting the pressure of the sprocket 4 on the chain of the scraper type conveying device;

[0068] a second fixed support 6, which is arranged on the base 1;

[0069] an inductive switch 7, which is arranged on the second fixed support 6, and is connected to a controller of a scraper motor of the scraper type conveying device, and is spaced apart from the movable support 3 by a preset distance.

[0070] By arranging a plurality of scraper type conveying device fault detection devices at intervals on a scraper chain of the scraper type conveying device, the sprocket 4 of the scraper type conveying device fault detection device is engaged to the scraper chain of the scraper type conveying device, and the pressure of the sprocket 4 on the chain is kept stable due to the adjusting support; when the scraper chain of the scraper type conveying device is normally operated, the chain rotates on the movable support 3 under the action of the chain; when the shaft pin of the scraper chain is disengaged, the sprocket 4 drives the movable support 3 to rotate around the first fixed support 2 under the pressure of the adjusting support, so that the movable support 3 is disengaged from the detection of the inductive switch 7 on the second fixed support 6, and an alarm signal is sent to the motor controller of the scraper type conveying device, so that the scraper type conveying device can be prewarned when an initial fault occurs, and a worker can perform corresponding processing, thereby avoiding significant damage to the device in the later period and reducing the safety hazard of the device.

[0071] In some embodiments, the adjusting support comprises:

[0072] a support rod 51, one end of which is fixedly arranged on the base 1, and the support rod 51 passes through the movable support 3;

[0073] A first spring 52 is sleeved on a support rod 51 on one side of the movable support 3;

[0074] A second spring 53 is sleeved on the support rod 51 on the other side of the movable support 3;

[0075] An adjusting bolt 54 is threadedly connected to the other end of the support rod 51.

[0076] The first spring 52 provides an upward force to the movable support 3, and the second spring 53 provides a downward force to the movable support 3. The tightness of the first spring 52 and the second spring 53 is adjusted by the adjusting bolt 54 on the support rod 51, so that the movable support 3 is kept within the detection range of the inductive switch 7, and the sprocket 4 has a certain pressure on the chain of the scraper type conveying device, without too much pressure to avoid wearing the track or causing the scraper load to rise.

[0077] In some embodiments, the adjusting support further comprises:

[0078] A first gland 55 is arranged between the adjusting bolt 54 and the second spring 53;

[0079] A second gland 56 is arranged between the second spring 53 and the movable support 3;

[0080] A third gland 57 is arranged between the first spring 52 and the movable support 3;

[0081] A fourth gland 58 is arranged between the first spring 52 and the base 1.

[0082] The first gland 55, the second gland 56, the third gland 57 and the fourth gland 58 facilitate the adjustment of the tightness of the first spring 52 and the second spring 53, and avoid damaging the movable support 3 or the base 1 when adjusting the tightness of the first spring 52 and the second spring 53.

[0083] In some embodiments, a broken chain detector is further included, which is arranged on a transmission shaft 8 of the sprocket 4, and the inductive switch 7 is connected to a controller of a scraper motor of the scraper type conveying device.

[0084] By setting a chain breakage detector on the chain wheel 4, when the chain of the scraper type conveying device breaks and causes the chain wheel 4 to be unable to rotate, the chain breakage detector detects that the chain wheel 4 does not rotate, and it can be judged that the chain of the scraper type conveying device breaks. The chain breakage detector is a zero speed switch. The zero speed switch is a safety protection device of a mechanical equipment, mainly used for detecting the zero speed state of the equipment, so as to prevent personnel from being injured or the equipment from being damaged. Its working principle is mainly based on electromagnetic induction and mechanical principle. When the equipment stops running or runs at a very slow speed, the zero speed switch detects this state and generates a signal. In other embodiments, the chain breakage detector can also use a capacitive type speed sensor, a magnetic type speed sensor, a laser type speed sensor, etc. The speed of the chain wheel 4 is detected by the speed sensor, and when the speed of the chain wheel 4 is slow or zero, it is judged that the chain of the scraper type conveying device breaks.

[0085] In some embodiments, the movable support 3 is rotatably arranged on the first fixed support 2 through a support shaft pin 11. The movable support 3 is rotatably arranged on the first fixed support 2 through the support shaft pin 11. When the chain of the scraper type conveying device breaks down, the movable support 3 rotates along the support shaft pin 11 under the action of the adjusting support, so that the movable support 3 is out of the detection range of the inductive switch 7, and the inductive switch 7 sends an alarm signal.

[0086] In some embodiments, the inductive switch 7 is a proximity switch. The inductive switch 7 uses a proximity switch. The proximity switch is a position switch that can be operated without mechanical direct contact with the moving parts. When the object approaches the sensing surface of the proximity switch to the action distance, the switch can be actuated without mechanical contact and any pressure, thereby driving the direct current electric appliance or providing control instructions to the computer (plc) device. The proximity switch is a switch type sensor (i.e. non-contact switch), which has the characteristics of travel switch and micro switch, and has sensing performance, reliable action, stable performance, fast frequency response, long service life, strong anti-interference ability, waterproof, shockproof, corrosion resistant and other characteristics. The product has inductive, capacitive, Hall, AC and DC types. In other embodiments, the inductive switch 7 can also use an infrared inductor composed of an infrared emitter and an infrared receiver. When the movable support 3 is between the infrared emitter and the infrared receiver, the infrared receiver cannot receive the infrared rays sent by the infrared emitter, and when the movable support 3 is out of the detection area, the infrared receiver will receive the infrared rays sent by the infrared emitter, and then an alarm signal is sent according to whether the infrared receiver receives the infrared rays sent by the infrared emitter.

[0087] In some embodiments, a scraper type conveying device fault detection device is provided, the device is installed on the device, the chain wheel 4 is pressed on the chain of the scraper, the chain wheel 4 module is the same as the module of the chain of the scraper during processing, and the tightness of the spring is adjusted according to the pressure of the chain wheel 4 on the chain after being pressed on the chain, wherein the chain wheel 4 has a certain pressure on the chain and the pressure cannot be too large to avoid wearing the track or causing the scraper load to rise

[0088] A chain break detector, such as a zero speed switch, is installed on the transmission shaft 8 of the chain wheel 4, and a proximity switch is installed on the second fixed support 6, wherein the proximity switch maintains a distance of 3mm between the movable support 3.

[0089] Three same fault detection devices are installed on both sides of the chain of the scraper, and each is about 1.5 meters apart, wherein 2-4 fault detection devices can be installed, and 3 are recommended, which needs to be determined according to the length of the scraper. In principle, for a scraper with a length of more than 10 meters, one device is added for every 10 meters on a single side.

[0090] The chain break sensor 10 and the sensing switch 7 in the three devices on the same side are connected with the scraper motor to establish a jump stop interlock, and a time delay of 2 seconds is set at each detection point, and a program is made as follows: when the alarm of one of the six occurs, the DCS screen starts to display the alarm information, but does not trigger the stop interlock; when the alarms of three of the six detection points occur at the same time (6 choose 3), the interlock is triggered to jump stop the scraper main drive motor. The three devices on the other side of the scraper also have the same principle.

[0091] When the shaft pin of the scraper chain appears to be off (such as half off), the chain wheel 4 is pressed under the pressure of the first spring 52 and then the second spring 53, the movable support 3 is separated from the detection of the proximity switch, and an alarm occurs; when there is foreign matter or the shaft pin on one side is off but not detected, causing the chain link to turn up (down because there is a track to block, it will not turn up), the chain wheel 4 will move up, and at this time the movable support 3 will also move up, thereby separating from the sensing switch 7, causing an alarm; when the chains on both sides of the scraper are broken, the chain is separated, so that the chain wheel 4 cannot rotate, at this time the chain break sensor 10 is effective, and a single alarm occurs, and two interlocks jump stop the main motor (6 choose 4 must have two of them are chain break sensors 10).

[0092] Through the device, initial faults can be automatically found, equipment managers can plan maintenance of the equipment, and the device does not need to be detected after a very serious fault occurs; at the same time, the investment is small, the cost is far less than the direct loss when a fault occurs, and the cost is far less than the indirect loss; and the device is a separate mechanism, which does not affect other equipment, that is, the production efficiency is high.

[0093] Also provided is another technical solution, a scraper type conveying device fault detection device, comprising the scraper type conveying device fault detection device as described above;

[0094] The scraper type conveying device fault detection device is arranged at a preset interval on the chain of the scraper type conveying device, and comprises:

[0095] a base 1;

[0096] a first fixed support 2, which is fixedly arranged on the base 1;

[0097] a movable support 3, one end of which is rotatably arranged on the first fixed support 2;

[0098] a sprocket 4, the teeth of which are engaged with the chain of the scraper type conveying device, and the transmission shaft 8 of the sprocket 4 is movably arranged on the movable support 3 through a bearing 9;

[0099] an adjusting support, which is arranged between the movable support 3 and the base 1, and is used for adjusting the pressure of the sprocket 4 on the chain of the scraper type conveying device;

[0100] a second fixed support 6, which is fixedly arranged on the base 1;

[0101] an inductive switch 7, which is arranged on the second fixed support 6 and is connected to the controller of the scraper motor of the scraper type conveying device, and is spaced apart from the movable support 3 by a preset distance.

[0102] By arranging a plurality of scraper type conveying device fault detection devices at intervals on the scraper chain of the scraper type conveying device, the sprocket 4 of the scraper type conveying device fault detection device is engaged with the scraper chain of the scraper type conveying device, and due to the action of the adjusting support, the pressure of the sprocket 4 on the chain is kept stable. When the scraper chain of the scraper type conveying device is running normally, the chain rotates on the movable support 3 under the action of the chain. When the shaft pin of the scraper chain appears to be detached, the sprocket 4 will drive the movable support 3 to rotate around the first fixed support 2 under the pressure action of the adjusting support, so that the movable support 3 is out of the detection of the inductive switch 7 on the second fixed support 6, and an alarm signal is sent to the motor controller of the scraper type conveying device, so that early warning can be made when the scraper type conveying device has an initial fault, and corresponding treatment can be performed to avoid significant damage to the equipment in the later stage and reduce the safety hazards of the equipment.

[0103] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments have been described in the specification and drawings of the application, but this does not limit the patent protection scope of the application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process replacement or modification based on the essential concept of the application, using the content described in the specification and drawings of the application, and directly or indirectly implementing the technical solutions of the above embodiments in other related technical fields, etc., are all included in the patent protection scope of the application.
