摘要:
A method includes the steps of detecting a trigger for speed scale setting for a vehicle autonomously operating at an underground worksite and executing a drive order, defining a speed scale for the vehicle on the basis of traffic flow of vehicles at the work site, transmitting a speed scale control message to the vehicle during execution of the drive order, the speed scale control message comprising a speed scale information element indicative of the speed scale, and transmitting, in response to detecting trigger for speed scale cancellation on the basis of updated traffic flow information, a speed scale cancel control message to the vehicle executing the drive order, wherein the speed scale cancel control message indicates cancellation of the speed scale.

In combination a loader unit and haul unit for use in a block caving mining operation. Each of the loader unit and the haul unit comprise a removable bucket, which can be used for loading ore. In use the bucket carrying a load of ore can be transferred from the loader unit to the haul unit so that the haul unit can transport the ore from a loading site to a crusher. The loader unit and haul unit have a respective longitudinal axis extending from the fore end to the aft thereof, and the bucket is elongate with a longitudinal axis. In use when the bucket is mounted to the loader unit the longitudinal axis of the bucket is disposed orthogonally to the longitudinal axis of the loader unit. When the bucket is transferred to the haul unit, the bucket is placed upright on the haul unit with the longitudinal axis of the bucket parallel to the longitudinal axis of the haul unit.

A system for managing a mining machine is included in a mining machine that travels in a mine. The system includes: a positional information detecting unit configured to acquire positional information indicating a position of the mining machine; and a traveling path calculating unit configured to obtain, from each of a plurality of the mining machines, positional information about an actual traveling path on which each of the mining machines actually has traveled, and generate a reference traveling path in the mine with the obtained positional information.

A mine management system (1) is used to mine ore from a vein in a mine including mining areas provided at the downside of the vein, a first mine shaft provided at the downside of the vein, and second mine shafts connecting the mining areas to the first mine shaft and includes: a transporting machine which loads the ore mined in the mining area and transports the ore to a soil discharge area while traveling in the first mine shaft; a loading machine which stays in the second mine shaft while a space used for the transporting machine to travel therein is left inside the first mine shaft, excavates the ore in the mining area, conveys the mined ore from the mining area in the opposite direction, and loads the ore on the transporting machine; and a management device which determines the mining area toward which the transporting machine is directed so that the operability of the loading machine becomes maximal or the operability of the transporting machine becomes maximal.
摘要:
A variable length guide system for guiding a conveyance along a mineshaft, the variable length guide system extending downwardly from a work stage and being extendable or retractable to accommodate changes in distance between the work stage and a lower region of a mineshaft.

A roof mountable support system (1) including a static element (2) arranged to be mounted to a roof of a tunnel or an underground mine and a mobile element (4). The static element (2) includes at least two tracks (8) on which the mobile element (4) is suspended for movement relative to the static element (2).
摘要:
A material extraction system is provided for an underground mine. The mine includes a roadway entry and a draw-bell entry intersecting the roadway entry and affording access to a draw-bell. The system generally includes a loader movable from the roadway entry into the draw-bell entry for removing material from the draw-bell, a sizer coupled to the loader for sizing the removed material, and a material collector operable to collect the sized material. The material collector places the sized material at a substantially elevated position relative to a mine floor. A shuttle car is operable to receive the collected material from the material collector. The shuttle car is movable along the roadway entry for transferring the collected material so as to facilitate a substantially continuous extraction of the material.
摘要:
An equipment recovery system for high risk environments such as high wall mine shafts has a vehicle that rides on a track including applications where a push-beam conveyor may serve as the track. The vehicle has a guide to keep it on the track and a hitch for attaching a recovery cable. The vehicle is remotely operated from outside the mine, has a power train for moving the vehicle, an implement for performing tasks, and carries an onboard power source and electrical control boxes to power and control the vehicle and implement. The vehicle may communicate with an outside operator station via an Ethernet cable and may employ and Ethernet extender for that purpose. The vehicle may have a camera to transmit video images. The vehicle may be operated from a high wall miner control center or from an operator station on a self propelled support vehicle.
摘要:
An electric drive system is provided for use in a vehicle that is operated in environments with stringent emissions and ventilation regulations. In one embodiment, the electric drive system comprises a motor capable of propelling the vehicle and an energy storage device coupled to the motor, and selectively couplable to a catenary line, wherein the catenary line is capable of supplying electrical power to the vehicle and to the energy storage device. Additionally, the vehicle includes a mining device that is operable to be powered by energy from one or more of the catenary line and the energy storage device.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides a method for mining a material in an underground environment. The method comprises positioning a structure in an underground roadway and locating the structure so that the structure provides a reactive force when a cutting head is pushed against the material via a series of members coupled to the structure. The roadway is suitable for passage of people and transportation of machinery and removed material. The method also comprises coupling the cutting head to at least one of the members of the series of members and the series of members to the structure. Further, the method comprises forming a plurality of branch tunnel portions projecting from the roadway into the material using the cutting head and the series of members coupled to the structure, comprising repositioning the cutting head and the series of members between formation of the branch tunnel portions. At least one of the formed branch tunnel portions has a length of more than 50 m.
