Abstract

An experiment device for aiding in measuring abrasion of a conveyer, and a method for detecting abrasion of a conveyer, are provided. The device includes a rack, a reciprocation sliding mechanism, a speed adjusting mechanism and a crankshaft. The reciprocation sliding mechanism can include scrapers and scraper chains, and the scraper chains can be arranged between an upper-layer scraper and a lower-layer scraper. The speed adjusting mechanism can include a motor, a friction driving wheel and a friction driven wheel, and the motor is connected with the friction driving wheel through a motor shaft. The friction driving wheel slides on a shaft in an axial direction, and speed adjustment can be achieved by changing the distance between the centers of the friction driving wheel and the friction driven wheel.
