Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of belt conveyor monitoring technology, specifically a temperature monitoring and spray cooling device for belt conveyors. Background Technology
[0002] Belt conveyors are important industrial continuous conveying equipment, widely used in the production of cement, metallurgy, chemical, steel, calcium carbide and other industries. Belt misalignment, tearing, foreign objects, temperature measurement, and mineral particle size detection are common problems in belt transportation, especially at high speeds and over long distances. Once a longitudinal tear occurs, it can not only cause serious direct economic losses, but also require a certain amount of manpower and time for repair and replacement, greatly affecting the normal production of enterprises.
[0003] Conveyor belts, as traditional products, do not inherently possess information-gathering capabilities. However, they generate information during operation, and with the increasing scale of conveyor systems and the long-distance operation of conveyor belts, the collection and utilization of this information becomes increasingly important. Traditional conveyor belts require manual inspection during operation to closely monitor their condition and react quickly to abnormal belt temperatures to prevent personal injury and property damage. However, for ultra-long conveyor belts exceeding 30km, manual inspection becomes extremely difficult, and the cost of relying solely on manual maintenance is prohibitively high. Utility Model Content

Specific embodiments
[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0019] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , a temperature monitoring and spray cooling device for a belt conveyor, which may include a temperature detection component 10 hoisted above the belt conveyor 30, a spray component 20 arranged outside the belt conveyor 30, and an audible and visual alarm. The temperature detection component 10 is configured to detect the temperature of the belt fabric in the belt conveyor 30. Figure 1 In, temperature detection components 10 are hoisted and arranged above the front end and the end of the belt conveyor 30 respectively. For an ultra-long belt conveyor, a set of temperature detection components 10 may be arranged at a certain interval along its transmission direction for monitoring the temperature of the belt fabric. A plurality of groups of spray components 20 are arranged at a certain interval outside the belt conveyor 30, and the spray component 20 is used to spray and cool the belt with too high temperature in the belt conveyor 30. The audible and visual alarm may be installed at the front end or the end of the belt conveyor 30, or the audible and visual alarm may also be installed correspondingly according to the installation quantity and position of the temperature detection component 10. The audible and visual alarm emits a warning signal when the temperature of the belt fabric monitored by the temperature detection component 10 is too high, reminding the inspection personnel to maintain the belt conveyor.
[0020] In this embodiment, the temperature detection component 10 includes a wall bracket 11, a hoisting bracket 12, an adjusting bracket 13, an air-cooled shield 14, and an infrared thermal imager 15. The wall bracket 11 can be fixedly installed on the wall above the belt conveyor 30 through fasteners such as bolts. Then, the hoisting bracket 12 can be fixed at a suitable position below the wall bracket 11 through fasteners. The adjusting bracket 13 is formed at the upper end of the air-cooled shield 14, and the adjusting bracket 13 can be inserted under the hoisting bracket 12 at an adjustable inclination angle. After setting the orientation angle, the adjusting bracket 13 can be tightened with fasteners to be fixedly fastened to the hoisting bracket 12. The infrared thermal imager 15 is installed inside the air-cooled shield 14. An opening is formed at the lower end of the air-cooled shield 14, and the detection end of the infrared thermal imager 15 faces the belt in the belt conveyor 30 through the opening at the lower end of the air-cooled shield 14. During the transportation of materials on the conventional belt conveyor, if the ore directly contacts the belt and the temperature of the material is too high or the belt heats up due to abrasion at the head and tail wheels, heat will be accumulated on the belt. The infrared thermal imager 15 can present the entire temperature distribution of the belt within the monitoring range and monitor the material temperature all-weather and in real time. The real-time temperature of the belt material and the infrared video image collected by the infrared thermal imager 15 can be transmitted to the industrial control computer for output display, so as to facilitate remote monitoring by maintenance personnel. A cooling fan is installed in the air-cooled shield 14. An air inlet is formed at the rear end of the air-cooled shield 14. The cooling fan is configured to make the air flow in from the air inlet and output from the opening at the lower end of the air-cooled shield 14, so as to cool the infrared thermal imager 15 and form an air curtain at the detection end of the infrared thermal imager 15 to reduce the adhesion of dust to the detection end of the infrared thermal imager 15.
[0021] In this embodiment, the spraying component 20 includes a belt-crossing bracket 21, a water delivery pipe 22, and a plurality of nozzles 23. A groove 211 is formed on the inner wall of the belt-crossing bracket 21, and the water delivery pipe 22 is inserted into the belt-crossing bracket 21 along the groove 211. The water delivery pipe 22 is respectively interconnected with the plurality of nozzles 23, and the lower end of the water delivery pipe 22 passes through the groove 211 and is externally connected to a water pump. The water body output by the water pump can be transmitted to the plurality of nozzles 23 through the water delivery pipe 22, and the bottom nozzles 23 spray the water towards the belt. In addition, a solenoid valve can be installed on the water delivery pipe 22 to control the on-off state of the water delivery pipe 22 for automatic control operation of spraying and cooling.
[0022] The system of the present invention may further include an industrial control computer for controlling the above-mentioned spraying and cooling and receiving temperature monitoring data and other operations to perform automatic operations of temperature monitoring and spraying and cooling of the belt conveyor. It should be understood that there is no special limitation on this control system, and it can be implemented through control technologies in the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.
