HORIZON MONITORING FOR CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC E21C35/08 

FIELD: monitoring devices; machine building.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to a method and apparatus for monitoring a coal cutter for continuous development in a continuous development system. Monitoring device comprises memory and electronic processor associated with memory and in communication with the cutter device, to receive data on the position of the cutter device, including information on at least one of the group consisting of the position of the cutter device, first cutting drum position and second cutting drum position. At that, the electronic processor is configured to identify from the position of the cutter device, profile data obtained during the trim cycle, including multiple lengths of the support elements; for each length of support element from plurality of lengths of support elements in underrun cycle, profile data analysis, to determine whether the parameter is outside the normal operating range for each length of the support member; generating a warning in response to determining, by analyzing profile data, that the parameter is outside the normal operating range for each length of the support element for one of the plurality of support element lengths.

EFFECT: cutter monitoring device for continuous development is proposed.
