The detailed description of preferred embodiment

Traditional sinking shaft

Traditionally, sinking shaft process has deepened a mine using explosion and slag tapping method.Drill a mine bottom The material at place, dispose explosive pack, the explosion mine bottom, and by institute's shot rock be loaded into a means of transport so as to It is transported at the top of well.Finally, people and material are moved down into shaft bottom along well at the top of well and reach operating position, such as work Make platform.

Charging basket-well-bucket

In traditional sinking shaft, people and rock are transported using well-bucket (big charging basket).Such means of transport is Through being used centuries.

Traditionally using well-bucket, there are many reasons during sinking shaft.In order to enable means of transport (for example, One well-bucket) can be ready to be loaded at a mine bottom, the means of transport should:

It is " top-open type ", to make it possible to be put into material wherein by a loading and unloading device；

It is " can move freely ", desired by enable that the means of transport is located on the mine bottom one At position.The mine bottom is typically highly irregular by constituting institute's shot rock of the mine.Therefore one can Free-moving means of transport can be stably positioned in the position for being suitable for filling by the loading and unloading device；

It is " cylinder ", so that the open top of the means of transport is enterable with a kind of similar fashion, and No matter where be located at relative to the loader for the means of transport during loading the means of transport；And

" place is connected in a ropes at the top of it "-is for making a free-moving cylindrical transport tool The unique logic mode of lifting.

It it is apparent that charging basket and well-bucket (big charging basket) provide these characteristics, and is therefore to dig in mine into/process of construction The principal mode of the means of transport used.

The shortcomings that charging basket and well-bucket

Charging basket and well-bucket are freely-suspended, and cannot will be used to that charging basket or well-bucket to be allowed to be connected to a guiding piece Mechanism be attached on its outer surface.One reason of such case is as above provided in the point (h) of background of the invention 's.Once the crosshead reaches Galloway (workbench), which freely dangles, in the workbench only horizontally by It constrains but can rotate.Once the charging basket below the workbench, it be impossible to bound level swing or.Rotation due to Upper situation, the promotion speed of the means of transport reduce in the workbench and below the workbench.

In addition, lacking the complete guidance to the means of transport and generally the means of transport cannot be guided completely to transport Health and safety risk is caused when people.This is because the means of transport is engineered the absolute right of landing field with such as one high tolerance Standard is impossible.This causes to squeeze between folder point (pinch point) and the big danger that must be crossed over when loading and unloading manned Gap.

In addition, charging basket or well-bucket and discharge ramp etc. is made to be aligned and safely the charging basket or well-bucket are tumbled to unload Lower mined material needs the plenty of time.

Therefore charging basket and well-bucket have slowed down mine and have dug into process, and be associated with the mobile human in well and material one The basic reason of a little health and safety risks.

A kind of part of innovation plan as health and safety for making speed of shaft sinking double and improve sinking shaft miner, Develop a kind of new sinking shaft system.This system using disc milling cutter makes rock rupture to replace carrying out rock probing and quick-fried It is broken.This system also uses a material handling system, which utilizes truck for transporting rock and be used for The cage of people and material is transported to replace charging basket.

A kind of mechanical digging system making rock rupture using these disc milling cutters is by a mine 10 being located in Fig. 1 In mine boring machine or sinking machine 12 embody.Machine 12 includes for excavating the one of mine 10 into well equipment, i.e. cutting head 14 and a workbench 16, on the workbench, concrete lining and well clothes are concurrently installed in the excavation of personnel and well Business facility.This mine boring machine is described in WO2011/000037, one of rotation cutting head is installed in a host On the lower end of frame and equipped with multiple disc milling cutters for excavating rock.The object that cuts out that the cutting head generates is passed up To a discharging/loading depot in the workbench, and truck is transferred to so as to gug to well top.

The challenge to be overcome in process of construction using truck

Based on the truck used in production exploitation, inventors have realised that if truck can exist by some way It is used to transporting and unloading material in sinking shaft, then the case where sinking shaft rate will be much larger than using charging basket.In addition, if can be One charging basket of substitution, which can be used to, independently of a mobile independent cage of these trucks in the well transports people and material, then It will be safer and more effective.The two possibilities are required to overcome identical challenge including be mentioned always across multiple guidance systems It is guided for complete means of transport, wherein both the system of these guidance system combination regular lengths and the system of flexible length.

In the embodiment illustrated in fig. 1, cutting head 14 and workbench 16 will also be in different time downlinks.Therefore it works Platform 16 will change relative to the height of the bottom of mine 10.Further, since security reason, a truck travels across the work Platform by along these guiding pieces it is desirably fixed.

For these reasons, it is necessary to which in other words, from the mine guidance system-of more than one type extends to this One variable-length guiding piece of workbench and a fixed guide for extending through the workbench.

In the embodiment illustrated in fig. 1, it needs across between the bottom and the cutting head or shaft bottom of workbench One of gap other variable-length guide system.

The shortcomings that such system is that truck is not easy the transition between different types of guiding piece.

Although truck can use during the production period of mine of single type guiding piece wherein can be used, material Vehicle traditionally cannot still work during the construction period of mine.One of such case the reason is that truck there is a continuing need for draw completely It leads.Therefore truck is not particularly suited for wherein the presence of multiple guidance systematic differences.

It was recognized by the inventor that these are the disadvantage is that truck is unsuitable for the understanding used in the construction period process for a long time Important factor in order.

System of the invention

In order to guide the movement of the means of transport embodied at present by truck 18, mine 10 is equipped with a mining conveying System 100, the mine shaft conveyance system include a guidance system 20 as discussed below and for making truck 18 along drawing Guiding systems 20 rise and/or a lifting system 102 of decline.

Lifting system 102 is attached on the top of truck 18 with a kind of known way, and being applied to can in mine 10 Control ground makes power necessary to 18 raising and lowering of truck.

Guidance system 20 guides the movement of truck 18, to ensure such as truck along 10 uplink/downlink process of mine In be not freely rotated.These trucks 18 are advanced along guidance system 20 or are run to guide truck 18 to advance in mine 10 (that is, rise and/or decline).

As shown in fig. 1, guidance system 20 extends downwardly into cutting head 14 along the length of mine 10.Guidance system 20 can To be divided into 3 sections:

1. one first or " top " guiding segments 24,

2. one second, " lower part " or " workbench " guiding segments 22, and

3. a third or " excavation regions " guiding segments 26.

These guiding segments 24,22,26 extend to an excavation regions from mine 10 upper area 28 in series 29, in the excavation regions, material is mined to deepen mine 10 from mine 10.

In order to accelerate the construction period of mine, it is desirable to need not be provided and extend (that is, during lengthening of mine) use In the separate payment of transport mined material and conveying people and/or equipment.Therefore, if exploiting material using with for transport point Expect that personnel and material are transported to the workbench by identical system, this is useful.

The top o guiding segments 24

Top guiding segments 24 extend from workbench guiding segments 22 to adapt to workbench guiding segments 22 and mine The variation of the distance between 10 upper area 28.Therefore, truck 18 can be along the institute as shown in figure 1 of top guiding segments 24 It advances between (for example, a loading/discharge region above ground level) and workbench 16 at the top of well with showing.It will be understood that It is that, for staple shaft application, upper area 28 will not be ground level, and will be less than ground level.

As mine 10 extends, increase from upper area 28 to the distance of workbench 16.Therefore, from upper area 28 to Increase as the distance-like of workbench guiding segments 22.

So top guiding segments 24 there is variable-length with adapt to upper area 28 and workbench guiding segments 22 it Between distance such variation.Similarly may want to make workbench 16 to rise, and therefore, in addition to or substitution be extending , top guiding segments 24 can be can receive it is short.

As shown in Figure 2, top guiding segments 24 include a pair of of platform rope 30, this is to platform rope along mine 10 Stack shell upwardly extends.It should be understood that any amount of rope or alternative guide device can be used as desired, and And these ropes can be made of any suitable material (typically steel).For example, top guiding segments 24 may be constructed Wirerope or hawser, winding steel pipe or coil pipe, steel band, chain etc..It can wind in inside or be wrapped in external any other Elongated shaped materials or structure can be used as top guiding segments 24.

In a preferred embodiment, top guiding segments 24 include multipair platform rope 30, make it possible to simultaneously edge The well guides multiple means of transports up and down.In such an embodiment, top guiding segments 24 include 3 pairs or 4 pairs of platform ropes Rope 30, to allow to guide 3 to 4 means of transports up and down along the well simultaneously.

With further reference to Fig. 1, these platform ropes 30 are received on sheave or hawser disk 34, these sheaves or hawser disk Unwinding makes these platform ropes 30 extend and receive short with winding.Therefore top guiding segments 24 are tensile and can receive short 's.These sheaves 34 are installed in a headframe 36, which extends on the open upper end of mine 10.These ropes 30 Therefore extend directly down downwards from these sheaves 34 along mine 10.

These sheaves 34 make these platform ropes 30 maintain enough tension, to ensure that means of transport 18 can be along top 24 uplink/downlink of guiding segments will not obviously rotate in turn or lateral shift.In other words, these platform ropes 30 are in means of transport 18 Help maintains orientation and the position of the means of transport when along 10 uplink/downlink of mine.In some embodiments, despite extending And can receive it is short, these platform ropes 30 in practice because make workbench 16 and/or other equipment suspend due to will in foot Under enough tension, so that they will be formed substantially just relative to from truck 18 to any power that these platform ropes 30 apply The component of property.

The opposite ends of these platform ropes 30 by any hawser bracing wire appropriate or other devices (for example, tubular rivet, Change) it is connected on the top of workbench 16.These platform ropes 30 can be alternatively by being mounted to workbench Sheave winding on 16.In substitution arranges, first (top) guiding segments 24 are extended in workbench 16, make in this way Workbench 16 is obtained to be folded down from one compared with low spot or even from the bottom of workbench 16.All such variations are intended to constitute The part of present disclosure.

In addition, these platform ropes 30 can be directly connected in workbench guiding segments 22.However, of the invention is flat Platform rope 30 is connected on workbench 16, and as shown in fig. 1, workbench section 22 is along parallel but not conllinear road Diameter extends.This is because different guide devices, i.e. casing 32 and conduit 40, are for making together with different types of guiding piece With and preferred guide device, different types of guiding piece are accordingly these wirerope or platform of top guiding segments 24 The fixation guide rail 38 of rope 30 and workbench guiding segments 22.

O workbench guiding segments 22

As described above, the length of top guiding segments 24 is desirably flexibly, to make the top boot section Section can extend with the extension of mine 10.In contrast, the length of workbench 16 is relatively-stationary, therefore this spirit Activity (that is, be it is tensile/can receive it is short) be not necessary for workbench guiding segments 22.

Additionally, when means of transport 18 is located in workbench 16, unloads personnel and material from means of transport 18, institute Desirably consistently it is orientated at loading/unloading point of the means of transport 18 in workbench 16.Due to this, work Platform boot section 22 is rigid and is fixed in position relative to workbench 16.Therefore, truck 18 and cage It is stopped in the consistent position in workbench guiding segments 22 with can have consistent known orientation, to make it possible to Quickly and efficiently rock is loaded into the truck and is made personnel and equipment can safely come out from the cage.

As shown in Figure 3, these workbench guiding segments 22 include being rigidly attached to workbench with different interval Multiple fixed guide rails 38 on 16.The sliding in conduit 40 (being discussed about Fig. 8 and Fig. 9) of these trapped orbits 38, so that Truck 18 can be advanced through workbench 16.

These conduits 40 must be that side opens, so that truck 18, which can be slipped over, fixes guide rail 38 and work at these Multiple connector (not shown) between platform 16.

It is desired to be to ensure that truck 18 is safely mounted before the end that top guiding segments 24 are left in its transition Onto workbench guiding segments 22.Therefore, these fix guide rail 38 in these platform ropes 30 (that is, top guiding segments 24) Extend at a distance from short above connector between workbench 16, so that when means of transport 18 is received in header area When in section 18 ', before these platform ropes 30 stop to the guidance of the head section, is fixed at these and guide material on guide rail 38 Vehicle 18 is begun to.

It is to the guidance of truck 18 and directly right by these fixation guide rails 38 via head section 18 ' by these platform ropes 30 The slightly overlapping of the guidance of truck 18 also ensures that the orientation of truck 18 is controlled always.

O excavation regions guiding segments 26

Although excavation regions guiding segments 26 constitute the part of embodiment shown in Fig. 1, but it is to be understood that, in this way Guiding segments 26 can not be necessary, and top guiding segments 24 and lower part or workbench guiding segments can be provided 22 without providing excavation regions guiding segments 26 simultaneously.

Similarly it is possible to it is desired be to provide excavation regions guiding segments 26 without and meanwhile supply top guiding segments 24 With workbench guiding segments 22.

Excavation regions guiding segments 26 be it is tensile and can receive it is short, to adapt to movement or the component of workbench 16 The movement of (for example, cutting head 14) relative to workbench 16.In other words, the excavation regions guiding segments 26 of Fig. 1 also constitute one A variable-length guiding segments.

As cutting head 14 moves away from workbench 16, excavation regions guiding segments 26 extend.Similarly, with work Platform 16 is mobile towards cutting head 14, and excavation regions guiding segments 26 are received short.

Workbench 16 and the cutting head 14 is enabled to may be for being properly formed mine 10 in different time propulsion Crucial.During excavating mine 10 by cutting head 14, the personnel in workbench 16 are that the lining of mine 10 is built.Therefore, Although workbench 16 is remain stationary, cutting head 14 will be promoted.For this purpose, excavation regions guiding segments 26 have variable-length, And be it is tensile, without extending workbench guiding segments 22 correspondingly and/or receiving short.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, cutting head 14 can promote 10.5m and then stop cutting, at this point, work Platform 16 advances downwardly 10.5m towards cutting head 14 under mine 10, and can start in workbench 16 to mine 10 Next 10.5m section be usually coated build.Therefore, with the propulsion of cutting head 14, excavation regions guiding segments 26 extend, make in this way Workbench 16 may remain in appropriate location until installed concrete component (set) and/or service facility (for example, Pipeline, route etc.), and with the propulsion of workbench 16, excavation regions guiding segments 26 are received short.

On the contrary, excavation regions guiding segments 26 are received short with the elongation of top guiding segments 24.This is because top The elongation of guiding segments 24 causes workbench 16 to decline towards cutting head 14.It should be noted that top guiding segments 24 with Workbench 16 and workbench guiding segments 22 move down and extend.

Excavation regions guiding segments 26 include a scalable guide assembly comprising multiple scalable guiding pieces, such as Scalable guiding piece 44 as shown in Figure 5.Scalable guiding piece 44 ensures exist always along workbench 16 and cutting head All guiding pieces apart from extension between 14 a, so that means of transport can be guided between them, i.e., Just it is also such that the distance, which changes,.Due between workbench 16 and cutting head 14 and the confined space of equipment therein And key property, so the rotation of the means of transport is to be not intended to when advancing along variable-length lower guide section 26 's.Therefore, multiple scalable guidance systems are preferably as they constrain the haulagman moved along the guidance system The rotation of tool and transverse/horizontal are mobile, even if it is also such that the length of the guidance system, which changes,.Scalable draw in addition to multiple Guiding element can use the guiding piece of other flexible lengths, rope etc. in this section.

In traditional sinking shaft operation, institute's shot rock is taken out from a mine using charging basket in tapping process.By Be in charging basket it is circular, with regard to rotation for be not present big problem.In contrast, the means of transport 18 being shown here can have separately A kind of shape, such as they can have square or rectangular section, and therefore rotation is undesirable.For this purpose, digging Pick regional guidance section 26 may be constructed with a kind of completely separable system to supply of above-mentioned entire guidance system 20, and set Meter is for being assembled to an existing well system.This excavation regions guiding segments 26 (that is, variable-length guidance system) also will For guiding a means of transport along mine 10, and it will extend from workbench 16, excavation regions guiding segments 26 are can to stretch It is long or can receive it is short, so as to the variation of the distance between the lower area 42 that adapts to workbench 16 and a mine 10.

Excavation regions guiding segments 26 as shown in Figure 5 extend to one at well equipment, such as cutting head 14, or at this It upwardly extends at the side of well equipment, and therefore will be stretched with workbench 16 and the variation at the distance between well equipment Length is received short.

The scalable guiding piece 44 of excavation regions guiding segments 26 includes a upper rall 46 and a lower guide 48, The lower guide is slidably received in a lower end of upper rall 46.The lower end of fixed guide rail 38 is received in top In the upper end of guide rail 46.With the propulsion of cutting head 14, lower guide 48 is stretched out from upper rall 46.On the contrary, with work Platform 16 is promoted towards cutting head 14, and lower guide 48 is recovered in upper rall 46.

It is being raised and lowered since the larger guide rail in the guide rail of any two arranged concentric will show (depending on diameter Biggish guide rail is upper rall or lower guide in the guide rail of the two arranged concentrics) during may stumble to transport One edge of these conduits 40 of tool 18, so these conduits 40 are to open on their top and bottom.

It should be understood that scalable guide assembly may include the guide rail of any amount of arranged concentric.For example, can stretch Contracting guiding piece 44 can only include single guide rail (for example, upper rall 46), which is attached to workbench 16 On fixation guide rail 34.In this way, fixed guide rail 34 and upper rall 46 will be formed together a scalable guidance system 44.Class As, lower guide 48 can be sized to be received in fixed guide rail 34, thus omit upper rall 46.

If being to be further understood that between fixed guide rail 38 and workbench 16 apodia at the lower end of fixed guide rail 38 If the connector of enough length, upper rall 46 in fact may be received upwards when workbench 16 is promoted along fixed guide rail 38 It is short, and stretched out when cutting head is promoted from fixed guide rail 38.

Therefore, guidance system 20 include the variable-length top guiding segments 24 upwardly extended from workbench 16, Between other guiding segments 24,26 be fixed to workbench 16 on a regular length workbench guiding segments 22, with And from workbench 16 towards mine 10 in a variable-length lower part extending downwardly of a lower area (that is, excavating area Domain) guiding segments 26.

O truck

By truck 18, (and 64) as described below are particularly advantageous as means of transport, because truck can be from top Portion or side filling, from bottom discharge, for example, using arc-shaped door truck and be located in these trucks will be at the position by discharging Corresponding latch.In contrast, charging basket typically must be manually reversed, and be usually therefore top-open type, to make Material can drop out in discharge process.For this purpose, charging basket usually has the chain hung on these sides, this make by charging basket with Such as loading/emptying point the case where being properly aligned with the truck than being guided completely always, is more difficult.Therefore truck is charging basket A kind of safer and more effective substitute.

In order to enable truck 18 can advance along these platform ropes 30, these platform ropes 30 are receiving material in setting It is run in multiple operation casings 32 on one head section 18 ' (showing in figure 2 and figure 3) of vehicle 18.Head section 18 ' is drawn Movement of the guide vehicle 18 between the upper area 28 and workbench 16 of mine 10.

Although truck 18 can have any configuration appropriate, in the present embodiment, the truck is by such as Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 Shown in indicated using the configuration of 64 mark of number.In other alternative solutions, truck 18 may include another device, all Such as an attached 18 " cage.For illustrative purpose, this attached cage 18 " is shown as being received in a head in Fig. 2 In portion's section 18 ', and it is shown separately in Fig. 3.

As shown in Figure 2, head section 18'(will hereinafter be referred to herein interchangeably as " crosshead " or " rigging ") it receives Attached cage 18 " and top guiding segments 24 along guidance system 20 are helped to guide attached cage 18 ".

Attached cage 18 " can be used for transporting cargo (for example, such as transporting personnel (in lower part cage 50) Ventilation duct 41 shown in top cage 52 in Fig. 2).

For the transition between top guiding segments 24 and workbench guiding segments 22, head section 18' and attached cage Frame 18 " is separated.For the ease of this separation, top guiding segments 24 and workbench guiding segments 22 are in a transitional region It meets at (not shown), in the transitional region, head section 18' is separated with attached cage 18 ".

The transitional region can simply form the terminating point of these platform ropes 30, and be adapted to prevent header area Section 18''s travels downwardly, and allows attached 18 " to continue to travel downwardly along workbench guiding segments 22 simultaneously.Cage

For this reason, it is also desirable to be on head section 18' and attached cage 18 " provide individually guidance dress It sets.For this purpose, multiple casings 32 are arranged on head section 18' so as to along 24 guiding head section 18' of top guiding segments, And multiple channels 40 are arranged on attached cage 18 " so as to after head section 18' has sat against workbench 16 and connect Attached cage 18 " is guided along workbench guiding segments 22.

Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 shows the side view of a head section 18'.Head section 18' includes receiving section 54, head Seat connects section 56, base portion seat connects section 58, conjugative component 60 and guiding elements 62.

In a most basic embodiment, a kind of means of transport for along mine movable means of transport or truck 18 Guidance system will include: a workbench guiding segments 22, and wherein (truck may include such as institute in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 to truck 18 Attached cage 18 ", the truck 64 or another type of means of transport as shown in figs shown) it is to draw along workbench It is moveable to lead section 22；One top guiding segments 24, the top guiding segments are along mine 10 and workbench boot section 22 located in series of section；And a head section 18', the head section is for receiving means of transport 18.Head section 18' with it is upper Portion's guiding segments 24 are cooperated, to draw means of transport 64,18 " can when being received by head section 18' from workbench Section 22 is led to advance along top guiding segments 24.Truck 18 includes a seat connection member with head section 18' (for example, head Portion sits and connects section 56) the seats connection member (for example, truck sit connect section 114) of cooperation.The seat of truck 64 or attached cage 18 " Connection member (for example, truck, which is sat, connects section 114) and the seat connection member (for example, head, which is sat, connects section 56) of head section 18' carry out It is adjacent, to sit on means of transport 18 in head section 18 '.

Head section 18 ' is substantially a passive device of the system.It is passively in the following range of the head section: The movement of head section 18' be by the movement of a means of transport 18 (head section 18 against the means of transport sit connect) come to It gives, or is given when head section 18' sits against workbench 16 and connects by moving down for workbench 16.In other words, Means of transport 18 and head section 18' along first or top guiding segments 24 moving process in, head section 18 ' is hung On the means of transport 18.

Receiving section 54 is the truck 64 such as discussed below or such as accommodating or receiving a means of transport 18 Attached cage 18 " as described above.Receiving section 54 guides means of transport 18 on workbench 16 one with mine 10 The movement in moving process between portion's level (for example, ground level).

Receiving section 54 is limited by four vertical and substantially parallel corner posts 66, and the end of these corner posts is interconnected by beam. These beams include one group of four horizontal beam 68 in the region that head seat connects section 56 and meet the area of section 58 in base portion seat Four horizontal beams 70 of similar one group in domain.These corner posts 66 and beam 68,70 limit the substantially long of receiving section 54 together Rectangular side, top and bottom.

It will be seen that from the different in width of head section 18' as shown in figures 6 and 7, the horizontal beam 68,70 of these groups is each From include two compared with short beam and two longer beams, so that the top and bottom of receiving section 54 are substantially rectangular. Therefore, there are two short sides and two long side surfaces for the tool of receiving section 54, the two short sides and two long side surfaces are these short beams With long beam accordingly across the side that it extends.

These columns 66 and beam 68,70 can be formed by any material appropriate and at present by the hollow fashioned iron shapes of rectangle At the steel is capped in end and blocks (hang-up) to avoid internal fragmentation.

Receiving section 54 further comprises generally in the plane of these oblong lateral surfaces of receiving section 54, is being located at Point among these ends of these corner posts 66 is in the multiple rack beams 72 extended between these corner posts 66.In the present embodiment In, these beams 72 are substantially horizontal and parallel with these beams 68,70.These beams 72 are sat on head and connect section 56 and base portion Seat connects equidistant interval between section 58, and is connected on these vertical corner posts 66 in their end by bolt 74.

On these longer side faces of receiving section 54 (as shown in Figure 6), multipair diagonal strut 76 is from beam 72 The opposite side of one end extends to the opposite end of next beam 72 of vertical direction and lower section.Diagonal strut as only one 76 extend from the beam 72 of top and bottommost because those beams 72 only with one accordingly 72 lower section of beam under consideration and The adjacent beams 72 of top.These beams 72 and pillar 76 resist receiving section 54 together and form a kind of mechanism (that is, resisting structure component 66,68,72 and 76 relatively rotated around bolt 74), to provide the rigidity of structure to receiving section 54.

In these short sides of receiving section 54 (as shown in Figure 7), such diagonal strut is not present.

The quantity of beam 72 and pillar 76 can be selected optionally, and can for example including 2 or more beams 66 with The pillar 76 of respective numbers.

These columns 66, beam 68,70,72 and pillar 76 are respectively oriented and/or are shaped so that obstruction Debris accumulation.Example Such as, these rack beams 72 and diagonal strut 76 can be formed from the standard angle-steel opened to the inside of receiving section 54.Due to Fragment will typically fall in around receiving section 54 rather than pass through it, so angle section (angle section) less may be used Fragment can be collected.

These columns, beam 68,70,72 and pillar 76 constitute the structure lattice structure or knot for forming receiving section 54 together Structure interconnection piece.These structural elements limit the volume of receiving section 54, in the volume, cargo, means of transport and exploited material Material can advance in a container or truck appropriate.In order to provide necessary intensity, these structural elements preferably by Steel is made, but can alternatively be made of other materials, such as aluminium for some applications.

For guiding a means of transport 18 to advance into and leave multiple guiding pieces 55 of receiving section 54 from receiving area (being described below) is stretched out in the inside of section 54.These guiding pieces 55 have the guidance with second or workbench guiding segments 22 The identical shape of part.These guiding pieces 55 of the present embodiment are the angle-steels by stretching out in turning from the inside of receiving section 54 It is formed.Angle-steel is identical as a part for extending downwardly into workbench 16 and constituting workbench guiding segments 22 big Small and specification angle-steel alignment (that is, extension or conllinear together).These guiding pieces 55 and workbench guiding segments 22 It is consistently formed, and is aligned when head section 18' connects against the seat of workbench 16, in order to provide truck 18 is used for It is moved in or out a consistent path of navigation of receiving section 54.Head, which is sat and connects section 56, to be connect for sitting against truck 18, Travel upwardly head section 18' and means of transport 18 adjacently along top guiding segments 24 from workbench 16. Head, which is sat, meets one rigid structural frame of offer of section 56, head section 18' during travelling upwardly from workbench 16 Weight can be suspended on the rigid structural frame.

Head seat connects section 56 and is defined in side edge by these corner posts 66, sits extension bar by multiple beams 68 and head at top 77 define, and these long side surfaces across receiving section 54 are defined by multiple cross members 78.These short sides across receiving section 54 Face, head seat connect section 56 and are limited by multiple cross members 80.Level of multiple cross members 80 in slightly higher than multiple cross members 78 Place across receiving section 54 these short sides extend, to be spaced a distance with next lower beam 72, the distance and that A beam 72 is identical as the distance between next lower beam 72.

When means of transport 18 is thus lifted in receiving section 54 from workbench 16, head, which is sat, connects section 56 against transport Tool 18 connects against means of transport seat.Means of transport 18 against head sit connect section 56 seat connect after, work as transport When tool 18 is moving upward along top guiding segments 24 far from workbench 16, head section 18 ' is with the means of transport one It rises and advances.

These heads are sat extension bar 77 and are symmetrically positioned about a central axes Y of receiving section 54.This symmetrical positioning is true It is placed in the middle in head section 18' during along top 24 upward uplink of guiding segments to protect means of transport 18.These heads are sat Extension bar 77 is between these beams 68 that these long side surfaces across receiving section 54 extend substantially perpendicularly and across receiving section 54 Short sides extend these beams 68 generally parallel extend.These heads, which are sat extension bar 77 and supported, multiple diagonally sits extension bar 82 Upper end, these, which are diagonally sat extension bar and sit between extension bar 77 and these cross members 78 on these heads, extends.These diagonally sit extension bar 82 It sits and connects against the top of means of transport 18, (below with respect to described in Figure 10 and Figure 11) as discussed below.

Such as most preferably find out in Fig. 7, these diagonally sit extension bar 82 be it is pairs of, one pair of them diagonally sit extension bar 82 about The central axes Y of receiving section 54 is symmetrically oriented to sit each end of extension bar 77 towards a corresponding head.

Multiple impact liners 84 are attached to these by any device appropriate and diagonally sit on extension bar 82, to reduce by a fortune Defeated tool 18 diagonally sits against these extension bar 82 at it and sits shock when connecing.In a preferred embodiment, by a correspondence It diagonally sits extension bar 82 to be attached to before these heads sit on extension bar 77 and these cross members 78, these impact liners respectively form use In reception, this diagonally sits a sleeve of extension bar 82.These impact liners 84 are positioned in these downsides for diagonally sitting extension bar 82. Although each diagonally sitting extension bar 82 is provided with an individual impact liner 84 in this case, single impact liner 84 can To extend across the more than one downside for diagonally sitting extension bar 82.For example, single impact liner 84 can connect across specific a pair of diagonal sit Two in bar 82 downsides for diagonally sitting extension bar 82 extend.

These impact liners 84 can be to be formed by any material appropriate, such as rubber, neoprene or soft metal.This A little impact liners 84 can alternatively be not designed into absorption too many (if present) and hit, and can be alternatively by one Kind wear-resistant material is formed.It diagonally sits on extension bar 82 in order to adapt to these and there is no damping object, the promotion speed of means of transport 18 can be with One " creep speed " is slowed to, this is to sit to connect the speed that will not pass through the vibration that head section 18' causes significant quantity.

The use of multiple impact liners 84 is preferably as they, which are eliminated, slows to one to by means of transport 18 The needs of " creep speed ".Therefore, reduce means of transport 18 and pass through the well required time, which in turn increases slag tap The overall growth of removing speed and therefore sinking rate.

It is for having gone downwards on workbench 16 in head section 18' later against the work that base portion seat, which connects section 58, Platform seat connects.In practice, when truck 18 is advanced from top guiding segments 24 along workbench guiding segments 22, header area Section 18' will sit against workbench 16 and connect.When head section 18' is sat on workbench 16, or somewhat earlier than the head Section is sat on the workbench, truck 18 from head section 18' be released to continue to be passed down through workbench 16 with For unloading and/or loading.

Base portion seat connects section 58 and is defined in its corner by these vertical columns 66, generally by multiple Liang70Jie at bottom It is fixed, and defined at top by multiple cross members 86.These sides of multiple cross members 86 across receiving section 54 are at multiple angles Extend between column 66, these cross members 86 are bolted on these corner posts.Base section 58 actually provides a rigidity Structural collision protection frame, the weight for the supporting head part section 18' when being connect against the seat of workbench 16.

It includes four directing plates 90, opposite short sides of this four directing plates in head section 18' that base portion seat, which connects section 58, On from these corner posts 66 extend, substantially vertically outwardly extended from these short sides.Each directing plate 90 be plane and In a perpendicular, respective panels 90 are tapered upwardly toward a corresponding corner post 66.

Base portion seat connects section 58 and is additionally provided with the multiple anticollisions buffering being suspended on downwards on the lower end of these vertical corner posts 66 Object or block 88.These anticollision cushions or block 88 reduce head section 18' against workbench 16 sit shock when connecing or Pulse load.

These anticollision cushions or block 88 can be installed on these corner posts 66 (or if uncommon by any device appropriate Along beam 70 if prestige).Currently, these anticollision cushions or block 88 include the rubber being molded on a plate (not shown) Change a small square contact pin of damping object material, a bolt (not shown) is prominent from the plate.The bolt extends across An aperture or other apertures in the end cap of corner post 66, and by by a nut (not shown) be tightened on the bolt come It fastens in place.

Since workbench 16 will be typically provided with rubber anti-collision liner (described below), it may not be necessary to provide Multiple anticollision cushions or block 88.

In moving process, head section 18' is guided along top guiding segments 24.For this purpose, head section 18' is arranged There are two pairs of guidance rope bearings 92.A guidance rope bearing 92' in each pair of guidance rope bearing 92 is sat on head connects section It is soldered or is otherwise attach on head section 18' at 56.Another in corresponding a pair of of guidance rope bearing 92 draws Conductor rope rope bearing 92 " connects in base portion seat and is soldered or is otherwise attach on head section 18' at section 58.

Each guidance rope bearing 92', 92 " include a roller group 96, and the roller group is along top guiding segments 24 The operation of these platform ropes (being demarcated by dotted line Z).Roller group 96 is fixed on an installation part 94 for that will correspond to roller Group 96 is installed on receiving section 54.

Each installation part 94 includes a U-bend plate, wherein the end of the arm of the U-shaped attached (for example, welding) to appearance It receives on section 54, and in respective roller subgroup 96 attached (for example, welding) to the base portion of the U-shaped.Other kinds of installation part It will be suitable for specific condition, or not have at all in the case where wherein these roller groups 96 are directly mounted on receiving section 54 Installation part, and all such modifications are intended to fall in the range of present disclosure.

Each roller group 96 includes the multiple annular roller (not shown) being housed in a cylindrical housings 98.Shell 98 Including hinged two half-unit, so that when installing a head section 18', shell 98 can be flat around one Platform rope Z closure.

One taper (for example, torpedo) plate 110 is attached on the outside of shell 96.When head section 18' is to uplink When entering in mine shaft conveyance system 100, make head section 18' in the multiple recessed guiding piece (not shown) of these plates 110 entrance Stablize.

It will be appreciated that these guidance rope bearings 92 can replace another guiding mechanism (for example, replaceable bronze bushing Pipe and/or lance shape guide shoe) to be suitble to a kind of different types of top guiding segments 24 (for example, being mounted on the mine Guide rail in lining cutting).

Therefore head section 18' is configured so that the ropes pass through head section 18' and extend to truck 18.Cause This, when truck 18 is when it is sat on in upper pathway in head section 18', head section 18' and truck 18 pass through the promotion Rope pulls means of transport 18 and rises upwards along mine 10.

It will be appreciated that all components in the component (for example, component 66,68,70,72) of different interconnection can pass through Nut and bolt, welding, multipair clamping plate and other attachment methods connect, and all these methods can use and be intended to fall In the range of entering present disclosure.It is formed in addition, those components can be by any material appropriate with any appropriate cross section.

Although any latch appropriate can be used, latch 60 is " Kimberley (Kimberley) " type safety latch Lock.The latch includes a tubular rivet 124 being installed on these cross members 86 on two long side surfaces of receiving section 54. One lever 126 is pivotally mounted in tubular rivet 124, (to be not shown, but in the latch in a latch position The arm of lever 126 is horizontal in position) and a non-latch position as shown in the figure between pivot.Lever 126 is by a bullet Spring tank 130 is biased to latch positioning, which extends in about from a diagonal strut 76 along the arm of lever 126 On the way.

Lever 126 is molded to so that the lever is latched in its " static " position.Latch position when static Be by lever arm 126 with buckle 128 at an angle (being currently 90 °) rather than (for example, at 180 °) are directed at buckle 128 To realize, so that when 126 downlink under its own weight of lever, buckle 128 against truck 18 (be currently truck 64, although It will be appreciated that disclosed below can be applied similarly to other kinds of truck 18, such as attached cage 18 ", but the truck 64 be an arc-shaped door truck) a pin 132 (referring to Fig. 6) rotation, to buckle pin 132.

Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 is shown for transporting mined material from a workbench 16 to positioned at mine hoisting system One truck 64 of a stacking field in 100 top area.Truck 64 includes a frame 112, which is defined in fortune A container of mined material is accommodated during defeated mined material.

One truck seat connects section 114 and is located at the top of the frame.Truck sits the portion that section 114 forms frame 112 that connects Point, and including multiple diagonal panels 116 diagonally to sit the identical angle initialization of the angle of extension bar 82 with these.

The place that one sheath for mooring rope 118 meets from the vertex of truck 64, i.e. these diagonal panels 166 extends.Sheath for mooring rope 118 are attached on the lower end of a ropes 120, so that rope 120 is attached to truck 64.Ropes 120 are by mine Lifting system 100 slings to make truck 64 along the mine (for example, along workbench guiding segments 22 and top boot section 24) section is raised and lowered.

Truck 64 further comprises sliding slot 122.As truck 64 is moveable into and out receiving section 54, these sliding slots 122 are supported It is run by multiple guiding pieces 55.These sliding slots 122 include angle-style wear plate, these wear plates surround the turning of frame 112 Extend and prominent from these turnings.It will be understood, however, that these sliding slots 122 may include a series of rollers or be suitable for Any other mechanism that multiple guiding pieces 55 are cooperated, to ensure when into/out receiving section 54, truck 64 and header area Section 18 is appropriately aligned.

One kind " in use " situation of head section 18' and truck 64 is shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11, the figures illustrate The truck 64 being contained in the receiving section 54 of head section 18'.As shown in Figure 11, from 16 uplink of workbench or direction When 16 downlink of workbench, these diagonal these impact liners 84 seats for sitting fishplate bar 116 and head section 18' of truck 64 are connect (for example, being adjacent).Due to these guiding pieces 55 of these sliding slots 122 and receiving section 54 in these turnings of truck 64 Adjacent, the holding of truck 64 is aligned with head section 18'.

Rope sheath 118 is sat between extension bar 77 on these heads to be extended, so that ropes 120 make truck 64 together It is raised and lowered with both head section 18'.In this case, when in transport, head section 18' actually hangs over material On vehicle 64.

At the top of lifting system 100, these plates 110 of these guidance rope bearings 92 are received in multiple recessed guidance In part, to keep head section 18' stable and to also make truck 64 stablize.One arc-shaped door car door 134 then open with Just mined material is discharged from truck 64.Arc-shaped door car door 134 is then shut off, so that truck 64 be made to get out downlink.

When starting downlink, these plates 110 of these guidance rope bearings 92 skid off these recessed guiding pieces and truck 64 Continue downwards along top guiding segments 24.During downlink, head section 18' by means of truck 64 these diagonal panels 116 Diagonally abutting between extension bar 82 is sat with these of head section 18' and is hung on truck 64.Therefore, under head section 18' Scanning frequency rate is the downstream rate of truck 64.

When close to workbench 16, latch 60 is moved to non-by a trigger 136 being installed on workbench 16 Latch position.Trigger 136 is in the form of bent plate.The plate of trigger 136 extends and has straight up from workbench 16 One bending, so that the top section 138 of trigger 136 and it is vertical at an angle, to extend outwardly away from head section 18'。

During downlink, head section 18' is together with 64 latch of truck, and wherein the lever arm 126 of latch 60 is horizontal Ground extends and protrudes from the short sides of receiving section 54.When head section 18' is close to workbench 16, lever arm 126 with The top section 138 of trigger 136 is abutted.When the further downlink of head section 18', the top region of trigger 136 Section 138 overcomes the biasing of Jar with spring 130, and lever arm 126 is pushed in non-latch position.Since head section 18' has Effect ground " suspension " is on truck 64, and head section 18' is consistently further travelled downwardly towards workbench 16 with truck 64, i.e., Make in truck 64 to be also such after head section 18' releasing bolt-lock.

Head section 18' against workbench 16 seat connect shortly before, downstream rate slow to " creep speed " and The seat fishplate bar 90 of head section 18' is received in multiple recessed guiding piece (not shown) on workbench 16.This ensures head Section 18' is appropriately aligned with workbench 16, so that it is guaranteed that these guiding pieces 55 draw with the workbench in workbench 16 Lead the alignment of section 22.

Then head section 18' will be rested on an impact liner being installed on workbench 16.At this point, truck 64 Head section 18' is skidded off along multiple guiding pieces 55 and is slided into workbench guiding segments 22.When doing so, hawser set or Sheath 118 and rope 120 sit downlink between extension bar 77 on these heads and are passed down through the volume of receiving section 54.

It will be appreciated that truck 64 be located in workbench 16 whenever, the hawser all these heads seat connect Receiving section 54 is extended through between bar 77.

It is filled in truck 64 and just after uplink, truck 64 draws along these guiding pieces 55 from workbench Section 22 is led to advance in receiving section 54.Truck 64 is slowed immediately in the upstream rate sat before connecing with head section 18' It is controlled event to ensure that seat connects to " creep speed ".Once these diagonal fishplate bars 11 of sitting of truck 64 are against head These diagonal seats of extension bar 82 of sitting that the head seat of section 18' connects section 56 connect, and wherein sheath for mooring rope 118 is centrally positioned at these Head is sat between extension bar 77, and the upstream rate of truck 64 is increased by.

Immediately in head section 18' by truck 64 pick up after, the tip of lever arm 126 is against the vertical of trigger 136 Part travels upwardly.Once the tip of lever arm 126 reaches the bending, it begins to the top section 138 along trigger 136 It is mobile.At this point, Jar with spring 130 gradually pushes lever arm 126 is past to be moved back into latch with 64 uplink of head section 18' and truck In position.

Therefore, truck 64 is together with the automatic latch of head section 18', so as to from workbench 16 towards mine hoisting system The top uplink of system 100 is with the content for dumping truck 64.

Head section 18 ' therefore only can be with consistently (that is, when the seat connects) upstream or downstream of truck 64.Head section 18' is substantially a passive configuration, the passive configuration enable truck 64 a rigidity fixation guidance system (such as Workbench guiding segments 22) and variable-length guidance system (such as more of the part of composition top guiding segments 24 Platform rope) between seamlessly transit.In fact, head section 18' constitutes a traveling guiding frame, when truck 64 is along top When guiding segments 24 are advanced, which is picked up by truck 64, and head section 18' serves as truck 64 and top boot section An interface between these guiding pieces of section 24.The skilled person will understand that in many cases, only drawing by multiple Interaction and head section 18' between guiding element 55 and sliding slot 122 these diagonally sit extension bar 82 sit on truck 64 these Head section 18' is set in diagonal panels 116 after the positioning on truck 64, latch 60 just constitutes a safety precautions and arranges It applies.

Figure 12 to Figure 14 shows head section 142 and for transporting the fortune of both part and personnel from bank to bank One alternative version of defeated tool 140.

Head section 142 includes a frame 144 with a square horizontal cross-section.Frame 144 includes together Constitute multiple horizontal struts an of rigid structure and an interconnection piece of diagonal strut and bracket.Frame 144 is on side It opens, the part transport on top to facilitate access for personnel's carrier part 148 for being located at means of transport 140 Section 146.
