Design of remote monitoring system for longitudinal tearing ofconveyor belt based on cloud technology

In view of the defects of existing longitudinal tearing monitoring system of conveyor belt, such as few monitoring points, poor expansibility, and still need to be on duty, a remote monitoring system for longitudinal tearing of conveyor belt suitable for multi -point monitoring based on cloud technology was designed. The system consists of a word line laser, embedded processing terminal, area array CMOS camera, cloud server, PC monitoring software and mobile phone monitoring software.The embedded processing terminal drives area array CMOS camera to collect laser fringe projected by the laser onto lower surface of the conveyor belt, and analyzes each frame of collected image, extracts the laser fringe skeleton, and calculates the distortion value.When the distortion value is greater than the preset threshold value, it indicates that the conveyor belt has longitudinal tear and the embedded processing terminal drives the alarm with voice alarm.When the distortion value is less than the threshold value, it indicates that the conveyor belt works normally.The embedded processing terminal transfers image to PC via file transfer protocol and saves it locally.PC monitoring software uses secure file transfer protocol to send the received image information to the cloud server. Mobile phone monitoring software uses the Web server provided by Tomcat to access the cloud server and obtain the image information in real time.The experimental results show that the system can realize a full range of remote real -time monitoring of longitudinal tearing of conveyor belts on site, PC terminal and mobile terminal, and can monitor the running condition of the conveyor belt at any monitoring point in anytime and at anywhere.
