Monitoring system for conveyor belt

A monitoring system for a conveyor belt comprising:

• a surface camera device that is installed at a predetermined position of a conveyor line and can continuously and successively capture surface image data relating to a conveyor belt rubber cover while the conveyor belt travels;
• a computation device that receives input of the surface image data;
• a monitor communicably connected to the computation device;
• an input unit that inputs an instruction to the computation device, and
• a mistracking camera device,
• each piece of surface image data being stored in a database of the computation device in association with data on a circumferential position of that piece of surface image data on the conveyor belt and data on the time at which that piece of surface image data is captured;
• the monitor being able to display any piece of surface image data from the database in response to an instruction from the input unit;
• surface image data among the displayed surface image data in which a predetermined defect is present on the surface of the rubber cover being registered in the database as data to be monitored in response to an instruction from the input unit;
• surface image data having the same circumferential position data as the data to be monitored being automatically registered in the database as related data to be monitored;
• and
• the mistracking camera device continuously and successively capturing mistracking determination image data obtained by capturing, in plan view, a longitudinal predetermined range of the conveyor belt while the conveyor belt travels, wherein:
• each piece of mistracking determination image data is stored in the database in association with data on the time at which that piece of mistracking determination image data is captured;
• any piece of mistracking determination image data from the database can be displayed on the monitor in response to an instruction from the input unit;
• and
• a mistracking amount of the conveyor belt on the mistracking determination image data displayed on the monitor is calculated by the computation device and registered in the database in association with the mistracking determination image data for which the mistracking amount has been calculated.
