Problems of automation of mine electric locomotive haulage
Abstract
At present, in conditions of coal mines the main type of transportation along the main horizontal workings is electric locomotive haulage. At gas mines, haulage is carried out by battery locomotives, and at mines not hazardous with respect to gas and dust — by contact locomotives. This type of transport in modern conditions — under complex mechanization of coal mining — has a number of significant disadvantages. Often it is the cause of violation of the continuity of the process of transportation of minerals. Often there are violations of movement schedules. For modern large mines — at complex mechanization of coal mining with full automation — the most progressive type of transport is conveyor. It is easier to automate, allows to keep the continuity of the process of transportation of minerals from the face to the railway bunkers or preparation plants and is less dangerous for the operating personnel.
