METHOD OF TRANSPORTING EXCAVATED MASS AND DEVICE FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS METHOD Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC E21C41/26 E21C47/00 

FIELD: mining.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to mining and can be implemented in open pits of mineral deposits for transporting excavated mass. The method consists in communicating horizons with a carrying flexible link, in securing capacities to the flexible link; also these capacities can freely travel; in connecting the capacities with a flexible pulling link, in equipping it with a balloon, and in loading capacities at final horizons. Also unloading of capacities is performed at intermediary horizons situated between stations of loading of upper and lower horizons, notably, the distance between stations of loading and unloading of each horizon is uniform; the balloon is fastened to the capacity of the upper horizon; lifting of excavated mass is performed from the lower horizon by means of aerostatic force of the balloon, while lowering excavated mass from the upper horizon is performed by means of gravitation force of excavated mass of the upper horizon and empty lower capacity. Also there is suggested the device for implementation of the method.

EFFECT: facilitating transporting excavated mass from hard accessible places with narrow slopes.
