Problems solved by technology

Also, small enclosed spaces can reach high temperatures, making the cab uncomfortable for the operator
Traditional air-conditioning systems and attempts to enclose cabs are not well suited for underground mining as the volatile atmosphere of underground mines prohibits the use of any electrical systems

Embodiment Construction

[0031] figure 1 A shuttle car 8 is shown comprising an enclosed operator cab system 10 and a conveyor section 12 for supporting a conveyor chain or belt (not shown). Figure 1A and figure 2 An enclosed operator cab system 10 is illustrated according to one embodiment of the invention and for use by underground mining equipment, such as a shuttle car. The enclosed cab system 10 includes a frame or housing 14 , a side window assembly 18 , a cab door 22 for allowing an operator to enter and exit the cab 10 , a rear window assembly 26 , a front window assembly 30 , and a pressurization system 34 . The housing 14 includes a top plate 38, a bottom plate 42 ( Figure 6 ), the rear wall 46, the front wall 50 opposite the rear wall 46, the first side wall 54 and the second side wall 58. The space contained between the walls 46 , 50 , 54 , 58 , top panel 38 , and floor 42 of the housing 14 generally defines an operator cab 62 .

Abstract

The present invention relates to an enclosed can system for mining equipment. The operator's cab for a shuttle car includes a cab frame, a window assembly, and a pressurization system. The cab frame defines an interior chamber and an opening. The window assembly includes a pane and a pane seal. The pane is coupled to the cab frame such that the pane covers the opening and encloses the interior chamber. The pane seal is positioned between the pane and the cab frame. The pressurization system provides a positive pressure in the interior chamber relative to the surrounding environment. The pressurization system includes a blower and a motor for driving the blower. The blower is in fluid communication with the interior chamber.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application 61 / 441,459, filed February 10, 2011, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to underground mining equipment, and in particular to an operator cab for use on mining equipment. Background technique [0004] Shuttle carts are used in underground mining operations to transport mined material. A traditional shuttle car includes a conveyor chain or belt and an operator cab. The operator cab is open to the surrounding environment, which exposes the operator to the underground mine's polluted air, which includes dust and particulate matter that can irritate the operator's eyes and respiratory organs. Additionally, small enclosed spaces can reach high temperatures, making the cab uncomfortable for the operator. Conventional air conditioning systems and attempts to enclose cabs a...
