Abstract

1,065,641. Hauling. COAL INDUSTRY (PATENTS) Ltd. July 2, 1964 [April 2, 1963]. No. 12983/63. Heading B8B. A tensioner for a haulage chain 13 of a mining machine comprises a device for giving the chain an initial tension and a device for limiting the maximum chain tension, the latter comprising an hydraulic piston and cylinder arrangement 25 having either the piston or cylinder anchored and whichever is not anchored is adapted to be secured to the chain 13, hydraulic fluid being discharged from the cylinder when the piston moves due to the chain tension reaching its maximum value. A pressure relief valve 18 coupled to the fluid supply line permits fluid discharge from the cylinder at the limiting tension. In the embodiment of Fig. 4 the chain 13 is coupled through an initial tensioner 27 to a flexible linkage 22 which is coupled to the maximum limit tensioner 25. The initial tensioner 27 comprises a plurality of compression springs 28 attached to plates 29, 30 at their ends, the end of the chain passing between the springs and being attached to the plate 30 which is movable under load to compress the springs 28 within the framework 31. When the springs are fully compressed, the device 27 is moved with further chain tensioning and this loads up the maximum limit tensioner 25 via linkage 22 until the tension is relieved by the valve 18 whereupon the springs 28 re-expand. In the embodiment of Fig. 1 (not shown) the chain 13 is coupled directly to the piston-rod of a piston and cylinder assembly. The initial tension is applied to the chain by pressurizing the cylinder and when this pressurized fluid reaches the pressure representing maximum limiting chain tension the relief valve operates to reduce the tension. In the embodiment of Fig. 2 (not shown) the initial tension is applied by an hydraulic piston having a pulley on its outermost end around which a flexible linkage from the chain, passes to a pair of piston and cylinder devices arranged in parallel to act as the maximum limit tensioner.
