Abstract:
Provided is a conveyor belt monitoring system that determines whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the conveyor belt. The system successively detects elongation of a running conveyor belt using an elongation detection mechanism, and further successively detects tension acting on a core layer forming the conveyor belt on the basis of power consumption of the running conveyor belt. On the basis of data obtained, the system monitors the presence/absence of the abnormality in the conveyor belt using a control unit.

Claim (Index 2):
A conveyor belt monitoring method, comprising:\n successively detecting elongation of a conveyor belt while the conveyor belt is running using an elongation detection mechanism; successively detecting tension acting on a core layer forming the conveyor belt on a basis of power consumption of the running conveyor belt using a tension detection mechanism; inputting data obtained from the elongation detection mechanism and the tension detection mechanism to a control unit; and monitoring a presence and absence of an abnormality of the conveyor belt on the basis of the data using the control unit.
