SUPPORT CONTROL SYSTEM DESIGNED TO CONTROL SHIELD SUPPORT SECTION MOVEMENT IN BREAKAGE FACE OF MINE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC E21D23/12 

FIELD: mining.

SUBSTANCE: support control system to control shield support section movement in breakage face of mine contains central device of control (CDC) and set of control units (CU) each of those is located at corresponding section and functionally coupled with this section. At that CU of sections are connected with CDC and between each other with two bus bars and designed so as to facilitate a call of CU of any section from CDC or from CU of the neighbour section to control command input. Also CU of each section is programmed so as to transmit received control commands via the bus bar; the said commands, equipped with a code word assigned to the CU called at that moment, are transmitted to this particular CU for execution. Owing to the second analog bus bar (a parallel one) received signals not equipped with the code word assigned to the CU called at the moment, are transferred to CU of the neighbour section.

EFFECT: upgraded reliability of excavating machine and mechanised support due to safe and trouble free operation of their work with insignificant costs for maintenance.
