Overview
Application case of belt transfer material blockage alarm in a northern ore port

A large number of ore loading, unloading and transportation tasks are undertaken in a northern ore port. As a key material transportation channel, the stability of the belt transportation system directly affects the efficiency of port operations. However, seasonal material blocking problems occur at the belt transfer, which seriously interferes with the normal production process. In order to solve this problem, the port introduces the application of belt transfer material blocking alarm.

Challenge
A certain ore port in the north undertakes a large number of ore loading, unloading and transportation tasks. As a key material transportation channel, the belt transportation system's operational stability directly affects the port's operating efficiency. However, seasonal material blockage problems occur at the belt transfer points, seriously interfering with the normal production process. To solve this problem, the port introduces a belt transfer material blockage alarm application.
Solution
  • Selecting 3D lidar + line scan laser detection equipment: using strong anti-jamming lidar + line scan laser and high-resolution video camera, laser scanning material accumulation profile, detecting belt force changes, dual monitoring to ensure accurate judgment of material blockage, effectively overcome complex environmental interference.
  • Build a high-speed data transmission and processing platform: using industrial Ethernet and edge computing technology, the data collected by the sensor is transmitted to the edge computing device in real time, and the local preliminary analysis and processing are carried out to quickly filter out abnormal data, and then the key information is transmitted to the central control system, which greatly improves the response speed and meets the real-time requirements.
  • 3D laser radar + line scanning laser and high definition camera equipment, using self-cleaning system, with waterway, gas road dual self-cleaning design, to ensure the normal detection of equipment in heavy dust and mud environment
  • Development of adaptation software: independent research and development of compatible alarm software, the software has a device driver adaptive function, can automatically identify different brands and models of belt machine equipment, to achieve data interaction with the existing control system, to ensure that the alarm information timely push to the end point of the relevant staff equipment.

The solution is to use laser and line-scan laser video recognition equipment with strong anti-interference capabilities to overcome complex environmental interference, use industrial Ethernet and edge computing technologies to build a high-speed data transmission and processing platform to meet real-time requirements, and independently develop alarm software with device driver adaptive function to solve equipment compatibility problems.

Outlook

By introducing artificial intelligence algorithms to realize the intelligent upgrade of predictive maintenance of material blockages, the blockage alarm system is deeply integrated with other systems in the port to achieve comprehensive integration and linkage. After successful implementation, it will be promoted to other ports to help solve industry problems.
