Application of Non-Contact Charging Conveyer Belt Inspection Robot in Menda Mining
Abstract：To address the issues of high workload, low efficiency, and safety hazards in manual inspection of coal mine main conveyor belts, Wushan Qi Menda Mining Company jointly developed a non-contact charging conveyor belt inspection robot with China Coal Research Institute Robot Technology Co., Ltd. The non-contact charging inspection robot system consists of the robot body, multi-wheel track, magnetic coupling charging, and edge computing AI modules. It features 0–1800 mm adaptive height adjustment, 7 cm-level deviation detection, over 91% foreign object recognition, and real-time monitoring of multiple parameters such as methane/CO/smoke. It uses underground explosion-proof non-contact wireless charging, with a range of over 20 km, and can still operate independently even if the LAN/5G network is interrupted. Field industrial testing over 10 months showed that the number of inspectors per shift decreased from 5–6 to 1–2, and inspection efficiency increased by more than 50%, with a significant reduction in abnormal downtime.
