METHOD FOR STEEPLY-DIPPING SOLID MINERAL DEPOSITS DEVELOPMENT Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC E21C41/26 

FIELD: mining engineering.

SUBSTANCE: method for steeply-dipping solid mineral deposits development including a milling machine for a dredging plant, which loosens the rock at the bottom of the pit's area, with the placement of loosened rock material in the trench for subsequent excavation of the rock mass by track scrapers of the dredging plant, following the milling machine without stopping it. At that milling machine and track scrapers are controlled by a remote control system of a dredging plant equipped with an operating system with control elements and fixing the functional enclosure and moving the milling machine and track scrapers. At that remote control device of the remote control system and the maintenance station of the dredging plant are located at the bottom of the first stage of the pit. The operating system registers the face area with the loosened rock mass prepared for extraction, a signal is sent to the track scraper control system with an indication of the area of the excavation of the loosened rock mass and the rational path of motion, and the sensors for monitoring the location of the operating system ensure safe movement of the milling machine and track scraper in the dredging pit area.

EFFECT: increasing productivity, reliability, increasing the technological efficiency of mining operations, ensuring reduction stripping operations and improving safety of mining operations through the remote control system of the dredging plant.
