Dynamic Monitoring the Friction Transmission of Mine Hoist Using Triboelectric Nanogenerators Self‐Powered Sensor Based on Different Surface Structures Embedded in the Friction Lining

The friction lining is a critical component of the friction hoist, serving as the driving force for lifting through its interaction with the wire rope. Monitoring the friction state between the wire rope and the friction lining is crucial as it directly impacts lifting capacity, work efficiency, and overall safety. By employing finite element simulation and creating surface microstructures on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) using ultraviolet laser, this study demonstrats that microstructure can improve voltage output. Compared with TENG without morphology, the voltage is increased by nearly seven times, reaching 2.28 V. Moreover, experiments revealed that embedding TENG at the optimal standard point of the friction lining enables effective monitoring of friction transmission under varied conditions, with the voltage signal showing synchronization with friction force. Notably, the voltage reached 520 mV under increasing specific pressures and stabilized around 670 mV with rising sliding speeds. This research represents a significant step toward real‐time monitoring of intelligent mining systems by dynamically observing friction transmission in mine hoists.
