FACILITY FOR BOREHOLE HYDRAULIC EXCAVATION OF MINERALS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC E21C45/00 

FIELD: mining.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to mining and is designed for development of thick deep seated deposits of loose self-breaking or preliminary broken minerals. The facility consists of internal movable pumping column 1 with hydro-monitor head 2 at the end, and of external pulp take-away pipe 3 with telescopic lower portion 4 with receiving opening 5. Telescopic lower part 4 of pulp take-away pipe 3 is movably connected with pumping column 1 and is designed to perform axial displacements. Pumping column 1 can have telescopic lower part 6 equipped with limiting-guiding rings 7 and 8. To limit a run column 1 and telescopic part 4 can be equipped with stop 9 secured to column 1 and with stops 10 and 11 on part 4. The telescopic part 4 of pulp take-away pipe can have density equal or slightly exceeding density of pulp due to property of material for pipe fabrication or due to closed interstice in structure (not shown). This facilitates its floatability in pulp. The facility can be made with variation of average density of lower part 4 of pulp-take away pipe.

EFFECT: simple and reliable facility ensuring efficient development of thick deep-seated deposits of loose self-breaking or preliminary broken minerals due to stable position of receiving opening of pulp take-away pipe in zone of optimal density of pulp.
