Problems solved by technology

Currently, accumulated debris is removed by manually shoveling it onto the transport system, which is often dangerous and time and costly
Transport systems may be more than 4 feet above the ground, making manual clearing of transport system corridors more laborious
Despite this, there are no known vehicles and machinery suitable for removing coal and rock chips from the corridor floor and moving them to the transport system

Embodiment Construction

[0019] First refer to figure 1 An embodiment of a shoveling apparatus 10 includes a low profile vehicle 12, a boom assembly 14, and a bucket assembly 16, respectively. These components 12, 14, 16 of the shoveling apparatus 10 cooperate to shovel coal and rock from near and under the coal seam of an underground coal mine and dump the cuttings on a coal conveyor for transport out of the mine.

[0020] Such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the low profile vehicle 12 includes a cab portion 18 , one or more kinematic supports 20 and propulsion supports 22 . Cab portion 18 provides a space for an operator of shovel equipment to work in vehicle 12 and typically includes a cab or other protective enclosure or portion of an enclosure to provide protection for the operator from damage caused by foreign objects that may fall on the vehicle. harm. Typically, an operator is able to control the low profile vehicle 12 , boom assembly 14 and bucket assembly 16 within the cab portion of the vehicle...

Abstract

A shoveling apparatus with multi-positional shovel including a low profile vehicle, a boom assembly, and a shovel assembly for use in underground mining operations, and particularly useful in clearing coal and rock debris from a belt line corridor. The low profile vehicle includes an advanceable support that supports the boom assembly and laterally advances the boom assembly from the cab portion of the vehicle. The boom assembly includes a support structure, a rotary actuator and a linear actuator, to control lateral and vertical rotation of the support structure (and thus the shovel assembly) with respect to a ground surface. The shovel assembly includes a rotary actuator and a shovel, and in some embodiments a tilting mechanism, to control the lateral and in some cases vertical, rotation of the shovel with respect to the boom assembly.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to a shoveling rig having a multi-position bucket suitable for use in underground coal mines and designed and configured particularly in corridors accommodating coal belt lines use. Background technique [0002] Coal conveyance systems move coal from the mine face to dumps or other locations, and typically run the length of the mine via narrow corridors. These corridors are separate from and generally parallel to the transportation route within the mine. A number of panels are positioned perpendicular to the transport routes to provide access to the corridors of the transport system. [0003] From time to time coal falls from the transport system onto the corridor floor. In addition, the walls of these corridors have deteriorated over time, allowing loose rock to collect on the corridor floors along with fallen coal. Accumulated coal and rock in the corridors of the transportation system lead to fires and cre...
