PIPE BELT ORIENTATION MONITORING |
摘要 |
The present invention discloses a method for detecting longitudinal rips and monitoring the belt orientation of tubular conveyor belts as the conveyor belt advances through a conveyor system, wherein said tubular conveyor belt has a width, a length, a longitudinal centerline, a first longitudinal edge, an opposing second longitudinal edge, and a load bearing region, wherein during use said first longitudinal edge and said second longitudinal edge overlap to form an overlap region forming the belt into a tube-like shape, wherein said load bearing region is located evenly about the belt longitudinal centerline throughout the length of the belt; said method comprising monitoring the position of the centerline by detecting the position of a plurality of equally spaced magnetically permeable elements embedded therein, wherein the magnetically permeable elements are situated across the width of the load bearing region of the tubular conveyor belt. |

1. A method for detecting longitudinal rips and monitoring the belt orientation of a tubular conveyor belt as the conveyor belt advances through a conveyor system, wherein said tubular conveyor belt has a width, a length, a longitudinal centerline, a first longitudinal edge, an opposing second longitudinal edge, and a load bearing region, wherein during use said first longitudinal edge and said second longitudinal edge overlap to form an overlap region forming the belt into a tube-like shape of defined diameter, wherein said load bearing region is generally located about the longitudinal centerline of the belt throughout the length of the belt; said method comprising monitoring the position of the centerline by detecting the position and integrity of a plurality of equally spaced magnetically permeable elements embedded therein, wherein the magnetically permeable elements are situated across the width of the load bearing region of the tubular conveyor belt. |
