Detection system for detecting cracks in conveyor belt

A method comprising:

• determining a standard position of a conveyor belt as the conveyor belt rounds over a pulley;
• determining, based at least in part on the standard position, a displacement position associated with detecting displacements of the conveyor belt as the conveyor belt rounds over the pulley;
• receiving a signal from a sensor arranged adjacent to the pulley;
• determining that the signal is associated with a displacement of the conveyor belt beyond the displacement position;
• determining, based at least in part on the signal, that the displacement is associated with a crack in the conveyor belt;
• determining an amount of time associated with receiving the signal;
• determining one or more characteristics associated with the crack, wherein the one or more characteristics are based at least in part on the amount of time;
• and
• causing output of an indication associated with the crack.

A system comprising:

• a sensor;
• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable media storing executable instructions which, when executed using the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, from the sensor, data associated with a displacement of a portion of a conveyor belt from a first position to a second position,
• determining, based at least in part on the data, that the displacement corresponds to a crack in the conveyor belt,
• determining an amount of time associated with the portion of the conveyor belt being displaced to or beyond the second position,
• determining, based at least in part on the amount of time, one or more characteristics of the crack, and
• causing, based at least in part on the one or more characteristics, output of an indication associated with the crack.
