Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of coal conveying inspection, and more specifically, to a coal conveying system inspection device. Background Technology
[0002] During the conveyor belt transport of coal, regular inspections are required to ensure the safety and stability of the transport. The traditional inspection method involves workers periodically patrolling inside the conveyor belt. However, the dust inside the conveyor belt makes it unsuitable for workers to patrol. With the development of technology, guide rail inspection robots are gradually being used to replace workers for inspections. To prevent falling coal from affecting the movement of the inspection robot along the guide rail, the guide rail inspection robot is usually suspended inside the conveyor belt.
[0003] However, traditional overhead conveyor inspection robots lack a certain dust removal structure. When used inside the conveyor belt corridor, dust inside the corridor will fall onto the inspection robot's camera, which will block the camera and make it difficult for monitoring personnel to use the inspection robot to inspect the inside of the conveyor belt corridor.
