COMPLEX FOR LIFTING DUMP-TRUCKS TO FLANK OF OPENCAST Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B66B15/00 B66B9/06 E21C47/00 E21F13/00 

FIELD: transport engineering; quarry dump-trucks.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to devices for lifting and lowering dump-trucks, namely, to complexes for lifting and lower dump-trucks at opencast mining. Proposed device for lifting dump-truck to flank of opencast contains, in addition to lifting line, lowering line parallel to lifting line, both lines being coupled by drive sprockets in head and middle parts of both lines. Each gripping device for gripping and transporting of dump-trucks up and down is made in form twin levers with rollers hinge-connected two leaf-and-roller chains and arranged in between to provide movement of roller along guides. Platform is secured on levers to arranged rear wheels of dumps-truck on lifting line and front wheels, on lowering line. Platform is arranged with clearances over tracks and on lifting line it is provided with curvilinear stop from side of tension sprocket for engagement with rear wheel of dump-truck, and on lowering line it is provided with two stops for arrangement of front wheels of dump-truck between the stops. Tracks on inclined sections are arranged to move front wheels on lifting line and rear wheels on lowering line at horizontal position of dump-trucks. Lips are arranged in opencast and on its flank in zones of entry of dump-trucks on lifting line and lowering line over tension and drive sprockets, and guides for traction chains and rollers of levers are made curvilinear to provide free getting of dump-truck wheels onto tracks.

EFFECT: provisions of lifting of loaded dump-trucks to flank of opencast and simultaneous lowering of empty-trucks into opencast at continuous transportation and reduced to minimum metal usage and energy consumption when carrying out said operation.
