Abstract: A device for enabling autonomous powering of a monitoring node of a scraper conveyor chain includes a bottom baffle, a friction wheel drive device, a limiting device, a generator, an energy storage battery, a cable entry device, and dampers. The bottom baffle is connected to a bottom portion of a scraper of a scraper conveyor. The friction wheel drive device comprises a ball, a friction wheel, a drive shaft connected to the generator, and a shaft coupler. The friction wheel is disposed on the drive shaft, and an outer edge of the friction wheel is in contact with a surface of the ball. The limiting device is a ball housing that is connected to the bottom baffle, and is used for limiting the ball within the ball housing. The energy storage battery is connected to the generator, and is used to store electrical energy generated from the generator. The dampers are disposed on the drive shaft.

Abstract: A multiple-state health monitoring apparatus for critical components in a hoisting system includes a frame. The frame is a square structure formed by welding a plurality of rectangular steels. A steel wire rope is arranged around a periphery of the square structure. A power system, a friction-and-wear apparatus, a brake-and-wear apparatus, and a tensioning apparatus are sequentially mounted from left to right on a bottom layer of the square structure. A bearing signal collection system, a tension sensor, an excitation apparatus, and a steel-wire-rope image collection system are sequentially mounted from left to right on a top layer of the square structure. The steel wire rope sequentially passes through all the apparatuses or systems and is driven by the power system to perform circling. All the apparatuses or systems are used to monitor an operation status of the steel wire rope.
