Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a conveyor belt monitoring system that determines whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the conveyor belt by successively detecting elongation of a running conveyor belt using an elongation detection mechanism, by successively detecting tension acting on a core layer forming the conveyor belt using a tension detection mechanism, and, on the basis of data obtained therefrom, monitoring the presence/absence of the abnormality in the conveyor belt using a control unit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A conveyor belt monitoring system, comprising: an elongation detection mechanism configured to successively detect elongation of a conveyor belt while the conveyor belt is running; a tension detection mechanism configured to successively detect tension acting on a core layer forming the conveyor belt; and a control unit into which data obtained from the elongation detection mechanism and the tension detection mechanism are input, the control unit being further configured to monitor a presence and absence of an abnormality of the conveyor belt on the basis of the input data. 2 . The conveyor belt monitoring system according to claim 1 , wherein the elongation detection mechanism is further configured to detect the elongation in a plurality of positions arranged at predetermined intervals in a width direction of the conveyor belt. 3 . The conveyor belt monitoring system according to claim 1 , wherein the elongation detection mechanism is further configured to detect the elongation in a plurality of positions arranged at predetermined intervals in a longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt. 4 . The conveyor belt monitoring system according to claim 1 , wherein elongation of an endless part and of a non-endless part of the core layer is detected as the elongation of the conveyor belt. 5 . The conveyor belt monitoring system according to claim 1 , wherein the tension detection mechanism is further configured to successively detect the tension acting on the core layer on the basis of power consumption of the running conveyor belt. 6 . The conveyor belt monitoring system according to claim 2 , wherein the elongation detection mechanism is further configured to detect the elongation in a plurality of positions arranged at predetermined intervals in a longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt. 7 . The conveyor belt monitoring system according to claim 6 , wherein elongation of an endless part and of a non-endless part of the core layer is detected as the elongation of the conveyor belt. 8 . The conveyor belt monitoring system according to claim 7 , wherein the tension detection mechanism is further configured to successively detect the tension acting on the core layer on the basis of power consumption of the running conveyor belt.
