Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A transmission belt arrangement includes a transmission belt, at least one sensor for providing a parameter indicative of a vibration signature of the transmission belt arrangement, and processing circuitry for determining a state of the transmission belt based on the parameter and/or based on the vibration signature indicated by the parameter.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A transmission belt arrangement comprising: a transmission belt, at least one sensor configured to measure a parameter indicative of a vibration signature of the transmission belt arrangement, and processing circuitry for determining a state of the transmission belt based on the parameter and/or based on the vibration signature. 2 . The transmission belt arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor is an accelerometer. 3 . The transmission belt arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor is configured to measure the parameter. 4 . The transmission belt arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the state is a degree of elongation of the transmission belt. 5 . The transmission belt arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor is configured to provide the parameter to the processing circuitry, and wherein the processing circuitry is configured to determine the vibration signature of the transmission belt arrangement based on the parameter. 6 . The transmission belt arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to compare the vibration signature indicated by the parameter to a reference vibration signature. 7 . The transmission belt arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor comprises a plurality of sensors, and wherein the processing circuitry is configured to determine the vibration signature of the transmission belt arrangement based on parameters provided by the plurality of sensors. 8 . A method for determining a state of a transmission belt of a transmission belt arrangement comprising: sensing a parameter indicative of a vibration signature of the transmission belt arrangement and outputting a signal indicative of the parameter, determining a state of the transmission belt based on the parameter and/or the vibration signal. 9 . The method according to claim 8 , further comprising comparing the state with a predetermined criterion. 10 . The method according to claim 9 , further comprising issuing a notification if the determined state meets the predetermined criterion.
