New Product | Weite Belt Tear Location AI Detection System

Belt conveyor is one of the most frequently used continuous transportation equipment. It is currently widely used in ports, mines, steel mills, power plants and other fields. Due to the falling of linings, sharp iron objects adsorbed by iron removers, improper installation of sweepers, etc., the conveyor belt may be torn and scratched, resulting in huge economic losses. Even if it can be repaired, it requires considerable manpower and time, which has a great impact on normal operation.

How to use intelligent means to warn of the occurrence of belt tearing has become an important issue that needs to be urgently resolved in belt safety production. To this end, Weite launched the WT-BTLS-AI belt tear positioning AI detection system.

Technical principles

The AI intelligent comprehensive monitoring system combines AI algorithms to analyze images in real time and distinguish between normal and abnormal areas. The stereoscopic vision detection principle has the advantages of high efficiency, high precision, high speed, and strong environmental adaptability. It is very suitable for online, non-contact product inspection and quality control at the production site. For high-speed dynamic inspection, image acquisition can be completed instantly, so the stereoscopic vision method is a more effective detection method.

The image sensor used in active stereo vision technology has the characteristics of global exposure, high speed, high resolution and high dynamics, and is a dedicated component for camera hardware. And through intelligent terminal design, it can perform real-time online high-precision detection of high-speed dynamic motion scenes of coal, with a maximum detection accuracy of mm level and a detection speed of up to 25fps/s.

In actual field applications, the system is not only highly adaptable to the field environment, but also uses non-contact measurement, does not require on-site calibration, does not require changes to the field environment, is fast to implement, and is easy to maintain. It is the best solution for belt conveyor safety monitoring.

Solution

Weite BTLS-AI belt tear positioning AI detection system adopts artificial intelligence and stereoscopic vision technology system. It uses stereoscopic intelligent cameras to monitor high-speed belt conveyors online. It can detect abnormal belt tearing conditions such as transverse cracks, vertical cracks, longitudinal tear seams, longitudinal tear overlaps, etc. and automatically control the belt conveyor in real time. The on-site implementation can be completed by installing the visual detector under the belt. The B/S architecture is used to build a visual data model display platform, which can perform a variety of systematic management such as visual display of real-time belt detection effects, display of detection results, transportation safety monitoring, and automatic control of belt conveyors, greatly improving the level of automation and intelligent tear detection of mining belt conveyors.

Core advantages

1. AI deep learning algorithm: AI visual inspection, visual inspection belt controller + deep learning algorithm, automatic identification of tear marks.

2. Damage location: Real-time monitoring of belt damage while automatically locating and recording the damage location and making statistics.

3. Timely alarm/control: External sound and light alarm, timely alarm when abnormalities are found, and can communicate with the electrical control system to achieve automatic shutdown.    

4. Automatic cleaning: The equipment has an automatic dust cleaning function to ensure a clear monitoring field of view due to the influence of dust and debris on site.

5. Remote monitoring: Standard communication interface, can communicate with the centralized management platform of the construction unit to achieve centralized control. At the same time, it can be remotely monitored in real time on mobile phones and computers for convenient management.

6. Flexible installation: non-contact installation, the belt detector can be installed under or above the belt, and the plan can be flexibly formulated according to the on-site needs without calibration.

7. Multi-host connection: one host can be connected to multiple visual detectors, linked analysis and control, saving costs.

8. Modular design: support multi-hardware fusion to expand the detection field of view, compatible with PLC/inverter direct control.

9. Data management: B/S architecture platform realizes visualization of detection effects, data storage and playback.

Application scenarios

Weite BTLS-AI belt tear positioning AI detection system can be installed and used immediately, and is suitable for coal transportation, bulk material transportation, port transportation, power plant transportation and other industries. The visual inspection belt detector is installed without contact, and is very convenient to deploy and install. According to the actual situation of the transportation belt project, it can be installed above or below the appropriate location of the belt and can work normally.
