    摘要: An apparatus and a method for measuring a rotational angle of a sinking platform. The apparatus includes a sinking platform being a subject to be measured, suspension ropes and guide ropes connected to the sinking platform, a carriage assembled on the guide ropes, a gyroscope and a gyroscope signal radio transmitter mounted at an upper end of the carriage, and a tilt angle sensor and a radio signal reception processor mounted on the sinking platform. During running of the carriage, the gyroscope keeps measuring a pose of the carriage, and a measured signal is transmitted to the radio transmitter in a wired manner. The radio transmitter transmits a pose signal of the carriage during running to the radio signal reception processor in a wireless manner. A turning angle of the sinking platform in the y direction is accurately obtained by subtracting a pose of the carriage being located at the top of the guide ropes from a pose of the carriage being located at the bottom of the guide ropes. Tilt angles of the sinking platform in the x direction and the z direction can be measured in real time by using the tilt angle sensor. Therefore, rotational angles of the sinking platform in three directions can be conveniently and accurately measured.

    摘要: A chain fault diagnosis system and a chain fault diagnosis method for a scraper conveyor are provided. The diagnosis system includes a strain rosette attached on a top end surface of each sprocket tooth of the scraper conveyor. The strain rosette is connected to a signal gathering unit fixed on a scraper conveyor roller through a shielded conductor, the signal gathering unit sends a gathered signal to a wireless receiving device by means of wireless transmission, and the wireless receiving device transmits the gathered signal obtained thereby to an industrial control computer through a USB interface. The diagnosis method includes the following three steps: chain dislocation/skip fault judgment, chain breakage fault judgment and chain seizure fault judgment. A comprehensive monitoring of the chain state of the scraper conveyor is performed by measuring strain magnitudes in different directions of the sprocket tooth in real-time, transmitting the gathered signal to the industrial control computer via a wireless transmission method and dynamically diagnosing the faults of seizure, dislocation, skip and breakage of the scraper conveyor chain based on the obtained strain data.
