[0032] To more clearly describe the technical content of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0033] This utility model discloses a device for detecting and wirelessly collecting data on conveyor belt slippage. It includes a conveyor belt 100, a drive pulley 400, a driven pulley 101, a coupling 103, a fan 104, an airflow protection cover 102, and an airflow collection pipe 105. The drive pulley 400 and driven pulley 101 are located inside the conveyor belt 100, and the conveyor belt 100 wraps around the drive pulley 400 and driven pulley 101. The drive pulley 400 drives the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt 100 rotates, driving the driven pulley 101 to rotate; the coupling 103 fixes the shaft fan 104 to the driven pulley 101, so that the shaft fan 104 and the driven pulley 101 rotate synchronously; the air volume protection cover 102 is conical, the bottom of the air volume protection cover 102 is connected to the shaft fan 104, the top of the air volume protection cover 102 is connected to the air volume collection pipe 105, and the side of the air volume protection cover 102 near the driven pulley 101 is hollow.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the coaxial fan 104 includes a coaxial fan shaft 106, and the device further includes a bearing 107. The airflow protection cover 102 is connected to the coaxial fan shaft 106 through the bearing 107. The inner ring of the bearing 107 is fixed to the coaxial fan shaft 106, and the outer ring of the bearing 107 is fixed to the airflow protection cover 102.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes an air volume detector 200, which is connected to the air volume collection pipe 105.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes a wireless transmitter 201 and a wireless receiver 300. The wireless transmitter 201 is connected to the air volume detector 200, and the wireless receiver 300 is adapted to the wireless transmitter 201. The wireless receiver 300 and the wireless transmitter 201 are connected via a wireless network.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes a signal processor 301 and a digital display screen 302, wherein the signal processor 301 is connected to the wireless receiver 300, and the digital display screen 302 is connected to the signal processor 301.

[0038] This invention uses an air volume acquisition device and a wireless transmission and processing device to monitor the speed of the driven wheel of the conveyor belt in real time, realizing non-contact, long-distance slippage detection of the conveyor belt. By comparing the acquired speed with the rated speed, the degree of belt slippage is determined, and different levels of alarms and handling methods are given.

[0039] This utility model mainly includes the following structure:

[0040] The drive pulley 400 of the conveyor belt is the power source input end, which drives the conveyor belt 100 to rotate.

[0041] The conveyor belt 100 drives the driven pulley 101 to rotate through friction. If the two are in close contact, the conveyor belt 100 will drive the driven pulley 101 normally. If the conveyor belt 100 is loose, slippage will occur between the conveyor belt 100 and the driven pulley 101, and the rotation of the driven pulley 101 will be abnormal.

[0042] The coupling 103 fixes the shaft fan 104 to the driven pulley 101 of the conveyor belt, so that the shaft fan 104 can rotate synchronously with the driven pulley 101 of the conveyor belt.

[0043] The airflow protection cover 102 protects the air generated by the rotation of the shaft fan 104 from overflowing, so that all the airflow generated by the rotation of the shaft fan 104 passes through the airflow collection pipe 105 and reaches the airflow detector 200.

[0044] The airflow protection cover 102 and the connecting shaft 106 of the shaft-connected fan are connected by a bearing 107. The inner ring of the bearing is fixed to the connecting shaft of the shaft-connected fan, and the outer ring of the bearing is fixed to the airflow protection cover. Figure 4 As shown, the air volume protection cover near the belt driven pulley is open, not closed. If it were closed, an air duct could not be formed.

[0045] The air volume detector 200 is a sensor for detecting air volume. In this technical solution, the air volume detector 200 can convert the air volume into a 4-20 mA analog electrical signal in direct proportion.

[0046] The wireless transmitter 201 and the wireless receiver 300 are used in pairs. The wireless transmitter 201 wirelessly transmits the 4-20 mA analog electrical signal collected by the air volume detector 200 to the wireless receiver 300.

[0047] Working principle:

[0048] As Figures 1-2 shown, when the conveyor belt driven pulley 101 rotates, the coaxial fan 104 will rotate synchronously. The air volume generated when the coaxial fan 104 rotates will pass through the air volume collection pipe 105 and reach the air volume detector 200. The air volume detector 200 will generate a 4-20 mA analog electrical signal according to the air volume. This signal is forwarded by the wireless transmitter 201 to the wireless receiver 300, and then transmitted by the wireless receiver 300 to the signal processor 301 for processing, converted into a rotational speed value, and the processed data is displayed on the digital display screen 302. At the same time, the digital display screen 302 can also set parameters to the signal processor 301, and the digital display screen can also give an alarm prompt.

[0049] Detection principle: The parameter x1 set on the digital display screen is the rated rotational speed of the conveyor belt driven pulley, and the rotational speed value collected and converted by the processor is x2;

[0050] The formula is n = (x1 - x2) / x1 × 100%, where n is the percentage of rotational speed difference;

[0051] When n ≤ 0, it is determined that the conveyor belt does not slip, and the digital display screen prompts normal;

[0052] When 0 < n ≤ 5%, it is judged that the conveyor belt slips slightly, and the digital display screen gives a yellow alarm, prompting attention;

[0053] When 5% < n ≤ 10%, it is judged that the conveyor belt slips moderately, and the digital display screen gives an orange alarm, prompting maintenance;

[0054] When 10% < n, it is judged that the conveyor belt slips severely, and the digital display screen gives a red alarm, prompting shutdown.

[0055] The rotational speed acquisition device of this technical solution can not only be an air volume detector, but also other types of detectors and match the corresponding acquisition devices, as long as it can acquire analog signals.

[0056] This technical solution also includes an airflow acquisition device. The fan and driven pulley are synchronously connected via a coupling. Thus, the faster the driven pulley rotates, the faster the fan rotates, and vice versa, resulting in different airflow rates. These airflow measurements are then collected by an airflow sensor to accurately determine the airflow volume and calculate the rotational speed of the driven pulley. Based on the rotational speed of the driven pulley, it can be determined whether the belt is slipping.

[0057] The 4-20mA analog signal used in this technical solution has the advantages of being continuous and stable, not easily affected by external interference, and having a long transmission distance.
