Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The belt conveyer used in the mine needs to transport coal gangue. Due to the influence of the carried heavy object and the running slope, the phenomenon of runaway sliding may occur.

[0036] In order to make the purpose, characteristics and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the technical scheme of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the specific embodiments below. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the patent.

[0037] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model provides a mine under belt conveyor with speed induction, which comprises a conveyor belt 1 arranged in a slope roadway and a control box, and the bottom of the conveyor belt 1 is provided with a conveyor roller 2 which runs synchronously with the conveyor belt 1; one end of the conveyor belt 1 is provided with a driving roller 3, and the driving roller 3 is connected with a driving motor; the driving motor is connected with a frequency converter; and the frequency converter is connected with a PLC controller.

[0038] In the embodiment, the driving roller 3 is arranged at one end of the conveyor belt 1, and a driven roller is arranged at the other end. A plurality of conveyor rollers 2 can be arranged in the middle of the conveyor belt 1, and the conveyor rollers 2 can support the conveyor belt 1.

[0039] Optionally, the PLC controller is a Siemens S7-1200 controller or a Mitsubishi FX series PLC controller. The frequency converter is a Siemens MM440 frequency converter or a Mitsubishi FR-E700 frequency converter.

[0040] In the embodiment, a plurality of light beam emitters 4 are arranged at the side edges of the conveyor belt 1 at intervals. The light beam emitters 4 can be infrared light emitting diodes or laser diodes. Arranging the light beam emitters 4 at the side edges of the conveyor belt 1 can prevent the materials on the conveyor belt 1 from blocking the light beam emitters 4.

[0041] A first photoelectric conversion module 5 is arranged at the upper part of the conveyor belt 1 and matches the light beam emitters 4. The light beam emitters 4 emit light beams to the first photoelectric conversion module 5. The first photoelectric conversion module 5 captures reflected light, detects changes in light intensity and converts them into electrical signals. The first photoelectric conversion module 5 can be a photoresistor or an avalanche photodiode.

[0042] In the embodiment, a counter, a pulse generation circuit and a single-chip microcomputer are arranged in the control box. Optionally, the single-chip microcomputer is an STM32 single-chip microcomputer or an ARM microprocessor.

[0043] The pulse generation circuit is in communication connection with the first photoelectric conversion module 5. The pulse generation circuit receives the electrical signals and converts them into pulse signals.

[0044] It should be noted that the pulse generation circuit converts the electrical signal output by the first photoelectric conversion module 5 into a pulse signal.

[0045] The control box further comprises an amplification circuit and a pulse shaping circuit; the single-chip microcomputer is in communication connection with the pulse generation circuit through the amplification circuit and the pulse shaping circuit. The amplification circuit and the pulse shaping circuit can perform shaping, amplification and other processing on the pulse signal to ensure the stability and accuracy of the signal.

[0046] The counter can count the number of pulses in a unit of time, and the single-chip microcomputer calculates the running speed of the conveying belt according to the counting result and the known proportional relationship between the pulse and the distance.

[0047] The PLC controller is in communication connection with the single-chip microcomputer, and the PLC controller obtains the running speed of the conveying belt 1 and controls the running speed of the conveying belt 1 through the frequency converter.

[0048] The PLC controller can compare the running speed with the set speed threshold value, and control the brake brake and the frequency converter to run when the running speed exceeds the speed threshold value. The brake brake is used to brake the conveying belt 1 when the running speed is overspeed, and the frequency converter is used to control the driving motor to run, which can adjust the running speed of the conveying belt 1 to realize speed reduction or speed increase.

[0049] In this embodiment, the pulse generation circuit converts the electrical signal output by the first photoelectric conversion module into a pulse signal. These pulse signals are then received and processed by the single-chip microcomputer for calculating the running speed of the conveying belt.

[0050] As shown in Figure 3 The pulse generation circuit in this embodiment comprises resistors R1, R2, R3, R4, a capacitor C1, a transistor Q1 and an operational amplifier U1. The first end of the capacitor C1 is connected to the input end of the pulse generation circuit, the second end of the capacitor C1 is connected to the first end of the resistor R1 and the positive input end of the operational amplifier U1, respectively, and the negative input end of the operational amplifier U1 is connected to the first end of the resistor R2. The second end of the resistor R1, the second end of the resistor R2 and the emitter of the transistor Q1 are grounded, respectively. The output end of the operational amplifier U1 is connected to the base of the transistor Q1 through the resistor R3, and the collector of the transistor Q1 is connected to the output end of the pulse generation circuit and the second end of the resistor R4, respectively. The first end of the resistor R4 is connected to the power supply.

[0051] In this embodiment, the pulse generation circuit receives the electrical signal of the first photoelectric conversion module, and performs preprocessing such as resistance voltage division and capacitor C1 filtering on the electrical signal to ensure the stability and accuracy of the electrical signal.

[0052] The preprocessed electrical signal enters the operational amplifier U1, and the operational amplifier U1 adopts an OPA2356 operational amplifier.

[0053] The operational amplifier is used as a comparator. The operational amplifier U1 compares the input electrical signal with a reference voltage. When the input signal exceeds the reference voltage, the operational amplifier U1 outputs a high level; otherwise, a low level.

[0054] The output signal of the operational amplifier U1 controls the conduction and cut-off of the transistor Q1. When the operational amplifier U1 outputs a high level, the transistor Q1 is turned on, thereby generating a pulse signal at the output end; when the operational amplifier U1 outputs a low level, the transistor Q1 is cut off, and the pulse signal disappears.

[0055] Finally, the pulse signal is output to the single-chip microcomputer through the connector at the output end. The single-chip microcomputer can calculate the running speed of the conveyor belt by counting the number of pulse signals.

[0056] It can be seen that the pulse generation circuit converts the electrical signal output by the photoelectric conversion module into a pulse signal, and realizes accurate measurement of the running speed of the conveyor belt through connection with the single-chip microcomputer.

[0057] When the running speed of the conveyor belt exceeds the set speed threshold, an alarm signal can be sent to inform the equipment patrol personnel. The PLC controller can control the frequency converter and the brake to act, ensuring that the conveyor belt stops in time.

[0058] In order to ensure that the running speed of the conveyor belt is obtained, a rotating shaft is arranged in the middle of the conveying roller, which can rotate synchronously with the conveying roller and the conveyor belt. The rotating shaft is installed with a photoelectric encoder; a plurality of gratings are arranged on the photoelectric encoder, one end of the photoelectric encoder is provided with a light source, and the other end of the photoelectric encoder is provided with a light baffle, the light baffle is provided with a light transmission hole matched with the grating, and the light transmission hole is provided with a photosensitive module close to one side; the photosensitive module is connected with a second photoelectric conversion module; the single-chip microcomputer is in communication connection with the second photoelectric conversion module through a counter and a pulse generation circuit.

[0059] The photosensitive module of the embodiment obtains information by detecting the change of the light signal generated by the cooperation of the grating and the light transmission hole, and can accurately measure the rotation angle and speed of the conveying roller, and then accurately obtain the running speed of the conveyor belt.

[0060] The photoelectric encoder is installed on the rotating shaft and rotates synchronously with the conveying roller, which can maintain good working state in the complex environment of the mine and provide speed detection data. In addition to being used for speed measurement, the photoelectric encoder can also realize accurate measurement of the running distance of the conveyor belt through coding and counting of the gratings.

[0061] The single-chip microcomputer is in communication connection with the second photoelectric conversion module through a counter and a pulse generation circuit, can finely process and analyze the signal generated by the photosensitive module, accurately counts the pulse by using the counter, and further improves the accuracy and reliability of speed measurement in combination with the signal conversion function of the pulse generation circuit, and is convenient for integration and collaborative work with other control modules.
