Ways and prospects of mine transportation development in coal industry
Abstract
The task of integrated mechanization of coal excavation at coal mines still remains unsolved. Moreover, not everyone clearly understands what should be meant by integrated mechanization. Often the concept of integrated mechanization is substituted by the concept of continuous or complete mechanization. However, continuous or complete mechanization means the use of mechanization in all parts of the production process; integrated mechanization should be called such an organization of the production process in which the work of all parts, and therefore the entire mine as a whole, is subject to the rhythm of the main mining machines, the rhythm of machines and mechanisms working in the faces. Only then will the greatest efficiency be ensured for mining machines – their highest productivity, their best use. What rhythm of work of downhole machines should be considered as the guiding one, what should be considered as the main and most promising in the work of mining machines. In the coal mining industry for a long time for the production of cutting, cutting machines have been used; for breaking coal – blasting; and the loading of coal onto the conveyor until recently was carried out manually. Specially designed loading machines did not justify their purpose. For joint mechanization of cutting, breaking and loading operations, mining combines – the first mechanisms of integrated mechanization – were created.
