SYSTEM OF HEADING MACHINES Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: mining machinery and equipment. SUBSTANCE: system is made up of double-section powered support, drilling modules, and loading-hauling subsystem which is based on wedge-type transfer assembly accommodating successively located gently sloping receiving part with wedge-type components and inclined discharge part. Receiving part of transfer assembly is provided with wideners in the form of wedge-type components which are located along side boards of transfer assembly. Receiving part of transfer assembly can be displaced in perpendicular to axis of transfer assembly by means of hydraulic cylinders installed inside stationary wedge-type components. Double-section powered support is provided with gripping devices which can interact with wideners of transfer assembly at moment of displacing powered support. Application of aforesaid embodiment of system of heading machines allows for increasing productive capacity, accelerating heading operation and increasing degree of mechanization in driving level, incline and raising underground workings by method of drilling and blasting. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 3 dwg
