Conveyor Intermediate TT Drive with Power Transmission at the Return Belt

This paper presents research into the energy balance of stressing conveyor belts by impact processes. Research is described in the areas of measuring the resistance of conveyor belts to puncture, the impact process, and the effect of changes to the impact height on the tensile and impact forces. Measurements were performed on a rubber–textile belt with a polyamide carcass. Hammers with pyramidal and spherical impactors were used to compare the resistance of the examined conveyor. Values were obtained for the maximum energies for the selected impact heights and the residual positional energies for the measured bounce heights. The difference between these energies represents the impact energy. The results confirmed that the impact energy of a hammer with a pyramidal impactor is greater than the impact energy of a hammer with a spherical impactor, while this difference increases with increasing impact height. The shape of the pyramidal impactor simulates sharp-edged materials, which is the cause of greater damage in the tribological interaction with the conveyor belt. This paper provides information for determining the limit conditions for setting appropriate impact heights depending on the weight of the material transported using a given belt conveyor.

In the material transfer area, the belt is exposed to considerable damage, the energy of falling material is lost, and there is significant dust and noise. One of the most common causes of failure is transfer chute blockage, when the flow of material in the free fall or loading zone is disturbed by oversized rock parts or other objects, e.g., rock bolts. The failure of a single transfer point may cause the entire transport route to be excluded from work and associated with costly breakdowns. For this reason, those places require continuous monitoring and special surveillance measures. The number of methods for monitoring this type of blockage is limited. The article presents the research results on the possibility of visual monitoring of the transfer operating status on an object in an underground copper ore mine. A standard industrial RGB camera was used to obtain the video material from the transfer point area, and the recorded frames were processed by a detection algorithm based on a neural network. The CNN autoencoder was taught to reconstruct the image of regular transfer operating conditions. A data set with the recorded transfer blockage state was used for validation.
