The electrical aspects of belt conveyors. The first is the starting mechanism. Based on the different operational standards for the conveyor operator, the mineral transporter, and those who operate both simultaneously, the optimal operating curve is determined through calculations to ensure the safe and stable operation of the conveyor. The second is the tight parking switch. Pull-cord switches can be installed at regular intervals along the conveyor, connected by steel cables, so that the conveyor can stop safely in case it deviates from its path. When transporting people in both directions, the safety pull-cords for the upward and downward sections should be installed separately, with their hanging distances determined based on the sag of the cables. Third is providing semi-automatic assistance while passing through stations. If the person on duty fails to catch up with the train, in order to ensure their safety, a forced pushing and assisting device can be installed at the cut-off switch station 20. Once the cut-off switch is activated, this assisting device can push the person onto the impact-absorbing beds on both sides, ensuring that the person on duty lands safely on the ground. Fourth is the online monitoring and inspection of conveyor belt steel wires. The DCK wire rope online inspection and measurement system is used when it is deemed appropriate, enabling 24-hour continuous monitoring and detection. Its detection range is no more than 2 cm2. It features functions such as unattended operation, reliability, SMS reporting, semi-automatic printing, and over a dozen other features, allowing it to effectively address the challenges associated with monitoring and detection over large areas. Fifth is the audio-visual alarm system. Blue light warnings can be used to alert those in charge of monitoring the flow of people; the platform can be constructed using photosensitive grids, and technical data is accumulated with each person who passes by. If the counts of people entering and leaving do not match, an alarm is triggered via a red light or buzzer, warning the supervisors to immediately check whether any items have passed through without authorization. The electrical aspects of belt conveyors and telescopic conveyors are unique, and when selecting them we need to consider the following issues: (1) The product chosen should meet the requirements of the specific application environment. Such as dust resistance, water resistance, seismic resistance, and other properties. In particular, thorough consideration should be given to the waterproofing performance, as most belt conveyors are located in outdoor areas and often need to be washed with water. It is best to conduct simulated tests on the samples before making a selection. (2) Select products with contact switches that operate smoothly and have distinct opening and closing of contacts. The tendency of the contacts to close in a fragile manner, without breaking completely but also not staying fully closed, is the biggest flaw of switches; it can cause facilities to start or stop incorrectly, and may even pose a threat to the safety of both the facilities and human life. (3) When installing the switch body, consider the appropriate position, direction, and angle, striving to ensure that the operating mechanism is not easily contaminated by dust or wastewater ； The quality of the guard installation craftsmanship must be excellent: the joints should be secure and reliable, and the wiring holes should be tightly sealed to a satisfactory standard. (4) Reasonably assess the credibility of the switch alarm signal while suppressing the system. For example, instantaneous fluctuations in the signal can be filtered through delay mechanisms, while the coal level can be determined based on the signals from level switches and level gauges. Conveyor belt systems are not suitable for being started and stopped repeatedly in a short time. Efforts are made to ensure that the equipment functions reliably in case of failures, but it should not operate erroneously frequently, as this could reduce the lifespan of the system or even damage it, while also causing significant difficulties in operation.
