Abstract:
The mine-used explosion-proof line array X-ray receiving box is not suitable for nondestructive testing of high-speed conveyor belts. And there are difficulties in processing the explosion-proof enclosure and heavy weight for nondestructive detection of wide-surface conveyor belts. In this context, a mine-used intrinsically safe line array X-ray receiver box based on FPGA is designed. The X-ray receiving box consists of signal detection board and signal processing board. The signal processing board supports 4 buses. Each bus cascades up to 6 signal detection boards. Each signal detection board is equipped with 4 X-ray detectors. The image spacing of the X-ray detector is 1.6 mm and the detector has 16 detection channels. Hence, the X-ray receiving box has a detection width of 2.4 m. The signal detection board is used to collect the X-ray signal attenuated by the conveyor belt and convert it into line array X-ray image data. The signal processing board realizes the simultaneous high-speed acquisition and processing of the image data of the signal detection board, and also collects the real-time running speed of the conveyor belt and transmits the data through the Gigabit Ethernet interface. The test results show that the X-ray receiving box has the characteristics of light weight and easy installation, and meets the requirement of X-ray nondestructive inspection of coal mine steel cord conveyor belt with high belt speed and wide belt surface.
