Abstract: A conveyer belt abrasion detecting apparatus which can automatically detect a conveyer belt abrasion quantity easily and accurately during operation. A plurality of magnet sheets (M1-M5) magnetized in a thickness direction are arranged so that polarities on the surface are in the same direction and are embedded deeper stepwise in a longitudinal direction of a belt main body (2). A magnetic sensor (4) for detecting changes of the magnetic forces of the magnet sheets (M1-M5) is arranged at a position where the magnet sheets (M1-M5) pass through.

Abstract: To provide a pipe conveyer in which a twist or depression of a rounded conveyer belt is simply and efficiently detected by effectively using permanent magnets and the closability of the conveyer belt is improved. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A conveyer belt (3) is rounded into a pipe, and both side edges (3a, 3b) of the conveyer belt (3) are laid on one the other. On both opposed surfaces of the edges, permanent magnets (6, 7) attaching each other are provided. A fixed body through which the rounded conveyer belt (3) passes is provided, and a plurality of magnetic sensors (8) are so circumferentially arranged on the fixed body as to surround the conveyer belt (3) and to detect the magnetic force strengths when the permanent magnets (6, 7) pass by the fixed body. Twist detecting means (11) for comparing the detected magnetic force strengths and detecting a twist of the conveyer belt (3) from the position of the magnetic sensor (8) which has detected the peak value (P1) is provided.

Abstract: Methods and devices for measuring elongation, wear, and internal temperature of a conveyor belt to catch signs of conveyor belt failure such as breakage by detecting a magnetic field from a magnetic body by using a magnesium sensor, as well as a rubber magnet sheet as a magnetic body and a method of producing the sheet, the rubber magnet sheet being able to be used while it is embedded in the conveyor belt. To measure elongation of a running conveyor belt (11), a magnetic field of a magnetic body (2) embedded in the belt (11) is detected by a magnetism sensor (3) fixed to the earth, and elongation of the belt (11) is calculated from temporal variation of the detected magnetic field.
