Abstract
Provided are a method for setting the embedding depth of loop coils in a conveyor belt which can enhance the durability of a loop coil without testing a large number of samples, and a method for manufacturing a conveyor belt in which the loop coil is embedded. A two-dimensional or three-dimensional FEM analysis model of an actual conveyor belt is prepared, and the appropriate embedding depth of the loop coils in the actual conveyor belt, i.e., the rubber thickness between the core layer and the loop coils is set on the basis of at least one of a principal stress or a deformation amount occurring in the loop coil in the analysis model when a falling object having predetermined specifications is dropped from above an upper cover rubber in the analysis model onto the upper cover rubber.
