This study proposes a novel rotational speed measurement method based on optical coherent displacement measurement. An optical coherence system is used to measure the relative depth of the shaft surface with uniformly etched micro-indentations on the circumferential surface. Fast Fourier transform (FFT) and the Hanning window energy centrobaric method (HnWECM) are used to process the collected photoelectric signals to obtain depth information and thereby realize the measurement of surface micro-indentations. During the operation, the rotational speed of the shaft is obtained by calculating the ratio of the angular difference between the relative depth of the rectangular pulses of the surface and the time interval. The experimental validation of the response is performed. The experimental results show that in the range of 0 rpm to 60 rpm, the indication error is <1 %, the nonlinearity error is <0.3584 %, and the repeatability error is <0.28 %. In the range of 0 rpm to 600 rpm, the rotational speed measurement method performed well with an indication error of <0.5 %, a maximum nonlinear error of 0.22 %, and a repeatability error of no >0.28 %.

In this study, laser ultrasonic technology is employed to detect the wall thickness of metal pipes, overcoming challenges such as same-side detection and signal processing. A signal processing method based on the differential algorithm successfully extracted a clear and stable longitudinal wave signal while effectively suppressing noise interference.

To address this issue, we propose a coal and gangue recognition method that integrates laser speckle imaging with deep learning. Based on objective speckle imaging theory, we designed a coal and gangue laser speckle image acquisition system and curated a dataset encompassing diverse lighting conditions for speckle imaging. We developed a lightweight YOLOv5s model to extract rich surface information from mineral laser speckle images, achieving high-precision coal and gangue detection while reducing computational demands. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in model size, training effectiveness, feature extraction, and recognition accuracy by lightening the YOLOv5s model. Furthermore, our method exhibits improved accuracy and stability in coal and gangue recognition under varying lighting conditions compared to manual feature design approach. Additionally, our model strikes a balance between complexity and accuracy, offering practical advantages over existing models for industrial applications.
