[0021] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 A coal conveyor belt intelligent inspection system includes: a data analysis module, an image acquisition module, an environmental perception module, a control module, an alarm module, a cloud server, and a belt control module; The image acquisition module is connected to the data analysis module. The image acquisition module includes a first image acquisition module located at the location of the coal crusher and the belt conveyor, a second image acquisition module located on both sides of the belt conveyor, and a third image acquisition module located at the location of the coal chute and the belt conveyor. The first, second, and third image acquisition modules are all cameras. By sending the image information to the data analysis module, the analysis module can determine whether there are large foreign objects in the coal crusher and part of the belt conveyor area, whether the belt conveyor is deviated or torn, and whether a large amount of coal has accumulated in the coal chute area.

[0023] The control module is connected to the data analysis module and the belt control module; the alarm module is connected to the data analysis module; the cloud server is connected to the data analysis module and the remote control module, and the remote control module is also connected to the control module; the environmental sensing module is connected to the data analysis module and sends the sensed environmental data to the data analysis module. The environmental sensing module includes a sound acquisition module, a temperature acquisition module, and a humidity acquisition module; The sound acquisition module is specifically a sound acquisition device. Multiple sound acquisition modules are respectively set on one side of the belt conveyor, reducer, and coal crusher, and are specifically set near the key transmission components (such as drive shafts, bearings, gears, etc.) of the belt conveyor, reducer, and coal crusher. In this way, the sound information of these locations of the belt conveyor, reducer, and coal crusher is collected. The sound information includes sound intensity and frequency. The sound acquisition module sends the collected sound information to the data analysis module. The data analysis module compares the sound information with the sound information of each device during normal operation to determine whether there are any safety hazards in each part of each device. The temperature acquisition module is specifically a thermal imager. Multiple temperature acquisition modules are respectively set on one side of the belt conveyor, reducer, and coal crusher. They are specifically set at key transmission components of the belt conveyor, reducer, and coal crusher, as well as key temperature monitoring areas such as the material inlet and belt approach. The temperature acquisition module collects temperature information (thermal imaging data) from these locations and sends the collected temperature information (thermal imaging data) to the data analysis module. The data analysis module analyzes the temperature information to determine whether the temperature exceeds the threshold, thereby identifying any potential safety hazards. The humidity acquisition module is specifically a humidity sensor. Multiple humidity acquisition modules are set up in the working area of ​​the intelligent inspection system for coal conveyor belts to collect humidity information of the entire working environment and send the humidity information to the data analysis module.

[0024] The environmental sensing module also includes a gas sensing module. The multiple gas sensing modules are set up in the working area of ​​the intelligent inspection system for coal conveyor belts to collect gas information of the entire environment and send the gas information to the data analysis module. The data analysis module can determine the air composition content in the working environment based on the gas information, thereby determining whether the concentration of harmful gases in the working environment exceeds the standard.

[0025] The environmental sensing module also includes a brightness sensing module. Multiple brightness sensing modules are set up within the working area of ​​the intelligent inspection system for coal conveyor belts to sense the brightness of the environment.

[0026] The intelligent inspection system for coal conveyor belts also includes lighting devices, which are connected to the control module. Multiple lighting devices are installed within the working area of ​​the intelligent inspection system for coal conveyor belts. The data analysis module identifies the brightness of the working environment based on the information from the brightness sensing module. When the working environment is dark, the data analysis module sends the information to the control module, which then sends a lighting turn-on control command to turn on the lighting equipment and illuminate the working environment.

[0027] The intelligent inspection system for the coal conveyor belt also includes a spraying device. The spraying device is connected to the control module and is positioned above the conveyor belt. The spraying device specifically includes a spraying pipeline, a solenoid valve, and a nozzle. The spraying pipeline is positioned above the conveyor belt, with one end connected to a water supply device and the other end equipped with a nozzle. The solenoid valve is located inside the spraying pipeline. When the data analysis module detects that the temperature at a certain location on the conveyor belt or the ambient temperature is too high, the data analysis module sends the information to the control module. The control module then sends a spraying start control command, and the spraying device is activated to cool the belt.

[0028] The intelligent inspection system for coal conveyor belts also includes an indicator device connected to the control device. Specifically, the indicator device comprises a mobile platform and a laser pointer. The laser pointer is mounted on the mobile platform, which is communicatively connected to the control module. The indicator device is used to quickly point out safety hazards in a specific device or location, helping maintenance personnel to quickly narrow down the search area and pinpoint the location of the safety hazard, thereby further increasing the efficiency of the entire inspection.

[0029] The data analysis module can determine whether there are safety hazards based on the collected sound, temperature, humidity, gas, brightness, and image information. When abnormal data is detected, the data analysis module sends a signal to the alarm module, which then activates to provide an alert. Based on the actual abnormal data, it also sends corresponding information to the control module. The control module then sends corresponding control signals to the relevant equipment and indicators. For example, if the belt deviates or tears, the control module sends a belt control signal to the belt control module, which then controls the belt to close, and the indicator points directly to the belt position. Other situations are similar and will not be elaborated further. Simultaneously, the data analysis module synchronizes all information to the cloud server for periodic data recording and abnormal data logging, and outputs monitoring reports. The remote control module communicates with the cloud server, allowing real-time viewing of past data. It also communicates with the control module to send remote signals and control equipment remotely, such as the lighting, sprinkler, indicator, and belt control modules. The belt control module directly controls the entire belt system, including the opening and closing of devices, the belt's rotation direction, and speed. It should be noted that the above-mentioned data collection, data identification, and data processing processes are all based on well-known existing technologies. No improvements have been made to the computer programs in this application, and the specific operation processes of data collection, data identification, and data processing will not be described in detail here.

[0030] This system enables unmanned, remote, 24 / 7 uninterrupted inspections, significantly improving inspection and maintenance efficiency and reducing the need for manual inspections. Through intelligent modules, it can directly identify subtle safety hazards, preventing problems from escalating until they become obvious. It also avoids the inability of inspectors to accurately and promptly assess potential hazards based on their experience, thus reducing property damage. Furthermore, replacing manual inspections in this way reduces the risk of workers being exposed to hazardous environments.

[0031] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
