FIELD: mining.
SUBSTANCE: method for automatic production of specified width of bottomhole space consists in determination of a distance between the upper edge of the drum base and the lower side during mining, accordingly, bringing the rest of the shield support bed top cover. At the same time the specified distance is measured by means of at least one radiolocating sensor fixed on the base of the shearer-loader drums. The actual value for tunnelling height of the shearer-loader with a drum actuator under the shield support is introduced into a unit of a computing machine and compared with the specified value stored in it. At the same time, if a deviation is established, control commands are generated for adaptation of cut height of at least one of two cutting drums of the shearer-loader. Also a device is disclosed for realisation of the proposed method, where radiolocating sensors are arranged at the side of the drum base manhole and may be installed aflush into the surface of the drum base.
EFFECT: exclusion of collision of a shearer-loader working element drum and frame of a shield mechanised support.
