DEVICE FOR UNDERGROUND DEVELOPMENT OF THICK AND STEEP DEPOSITS OF POTASSIUM ORES Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC E21C25/16 E21C27/10 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: device for underground development of thick and steep deposits of potassium ores includes blind shaft tunneller of "ПГР-1" type consisting of guiding-holding down gear body with rollers on pillars, two driving motors, planetary reduction gear, actuating elements; hollow centring guide; cable winch mounted on frame. Blind shaft tunneller is equipped with device made in the form of integrated swivel and current collector and located in guide gear made as curb on the inner surface of which longitudinal grooves are made to accommodate pillars with rollers of guiding-holding down gear of tunneler, and fixed in guiding gear stopping device. At outer side of guiding gear, in the bottom part supporting hydraulic jacks are installed, and in the top part - throw over blocks for rope and for cable are fixed on axis. Wrench is made double-drum - rope-and-cable - and fitted on frame of caterpillar double-drive chassis, the frame is equipped at its front with supporting hydraulic jacks and at its top - with power manipulator pivotally connected with guiding gear controlled from driver's cabin. Apart from driver's cabin, ground control console is placed. Power manipulator includes boom with hydraulic cylinder for guiding gear lifting-lowering, hydraulic drive for boom rotation around its axis for an angle α, hydraulic cylinder using which guiding gear is turned for an angle β relative to boom longitudinal axis.

EFFECT: blind shaft tunneller functionality and structural capabilities enhancement, safety of works.
