STATION FOR MONITORING SHAFT GUIDE PARAMETERS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: control of the condition of mine shaft guides and clearances between mine shaft vehicle and shaft equipment. SUBSTANCE: station includes two carriages installed on shaft vehicle. Carriages are provided with units for measuring the bending of guides, guide wear, distance between guides and depth of shaft. All sensing elements of measuring units are made in the forms of spring-loaded rollers, each is connected with transducer registering their motion. Transducer is used in the form of photoelectric converter of angular motions. Attached to vehicle are also devices for measuring safety clearances between vehicle and shaft equipment. Sensor of clearance measuring device is provided with a registering transducer similar to the above-mentioned one. Installed on vehicle in thermostatically controlled body are computer and registering unit whose input is connected will all converters of angular motions of devices measuring parameters of shaft guides. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 3 cl, 6 dwg
