System and method for scanning the condition of a steel cord conveyor belt

Abstract

The present technical solution relates to the field of monitoring the technical condition of technological objects, specifically to a system and method for scanning the condition of a wire-reinforced conveyor belt. The technical result is an improvement in the efficiency of monitoring the condition of the conveyor belt. This technical result is achieved by a system for scanning the condition of the wire-reinforced conveyor belt, the system including: At least one magnet positioned across the conveyor belt, which provides magnetization of the steel wires of the conveyor belt; At least one multi-channel scanner containing a group of magnetic field sensors (MFS), which scans the conveyor belt to obtain magnetic images that display signals from the scattering magnetic field (SMF) in the areas of splice connections and wire damages; A computational unit that receives signals from the scanner and performs: a) processing the obtained magnetic images to determine the size of wire damage and/or the condition of the splice connections in the conveyor belt, where the condition of the splice connections is characterized by at least their length; b) determining the longitudinal and/or transverse coordinates of wire damages and/or the longitudinal coordinates of splice connection locations; c) transmitting the data of the processed magnetic images, obtained in steps a) and b), to an external device.
