(54) MONITORING OF SELF-ADVANCING MINE ROOF
SUPPORT ALIGNMENT
(71) We, GULLICK DOBSON
LIMITED, a British Company of Ince,
Wigan, Lancashire, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed to be particularly described in and by the following statement: The invention relates to monitoring the alignment of self-advancing mine-roof supports.
At the mineral face of a mine working it is normal to have a row of self-advancing mine-roof supports cooperating with a face conveyor and a mining machine that traverses the face to cut material which is carried by the face conveyor to conveyor systems usually in a gate at one end of the face for transportation away from the face. It is common practice for the mine-roof supports to be equipped with pressure-fiuid-operated means so as to be advanced sequentially. Each support serves first in pushing the face conveyor towards the face behind the mining machine as it traverses the face. When there is at least a predetermined headway on the mining machines the mine-roof supports are sequentially lowered usually one at a time, and pulled towards the face conveyor whereupon they are reset to the roof.Any attempt to automate these operations will meet the usual demand that the face be kept straight and the services of surveyors are required to ensure that the advances of the mine-roof supports do not result in unwanted curvature of the face, as would result from differential advances of the supports, particularly over a succession of advances thereof.
It is an object of this invention to provide means to facilitate the maintenance of desired relative positions of self-advancing mine-roof SuppOrts.
According to the invention there is provided a system for monitoring the positions of a row of self-advancing mine roof supports relative to each other and/or an anchorage therefor, comprising, for each of at least some of the supports, means for providing data relating to successive advance distances of each support, the system further comprising means for accumulating and storing such data for each of said at least some of the supports.
Preferably, that data concerns relative movement of a said support and an anchorage common to the row of supports. Display means may be provided for the data aocumulated and stored.
Preferably, the data accumulated concerns errors between actual advances and specified advance distances, though, clearly, accumulation of actual advance data would give, for the supports concerned, totals from which corrections could readily be made.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, such a control system comprises a plurality of separate support-related units each for receiving and translating coded electrical control signals into support advance implementing signals, and for supplying coded electrical data signals representative of the extent of an advance movement of the related support, a control unit, and a communication network for carrying the said control and data signals between the support-related units and the control unit, the control unit including resettable means responsive to the data signals for accumulating, for each mine-roof support, individual differences from successive desired advances or even the numerical values of the data signals themselves.
In implementing such a system, the control unit may be provided with word-organised binary data storage means having at least one word location dedicated to each support.
and accumulator or adder means for updating the contents of each such word location at the time of an advance od the corresponding support. The word locations may be registers driving a single numerical display via register scanners or other means, or driving individual numerical displays or parts of a display, or may be part of a word-organised writable semiconductor store, often referred to as a
RAM, included in a controlling computer system associated with a visual display for accumulated error or total advance data.
The support-related units may supply a
direct digitised representation of the extent
of an advance, in which case the control unit may compare incoming data signals with a
preset datum value, say by a subtractor or in
a subtraction operation. Alternatively, the
support related units may supply an offset from a preset desired advance of the corresponding support, in which case the control
unit will simply accumulate incoming data
signals, which should, of course, include a
sign indication, using an adder or an addition
operation in a computer, preferably a micro- computer, system.
Such a system will therefore store, and display as required, indicarions of the extents to which individual mine roof supports exceed or fall short of a total advance represented by the number of advance cycles which have taken place since the storage means was reset.
Initially, or periodically, such resetting will take place following a survey of the face and adjustment of the positions of the supports until they have a desired relative relationship.
At the time of each such re-survey the monitoring system can supply correction data via the display. Systems embodying this invention are therefore particularly well adapted to use in a mine face control system, that provides for automatically controlled advancing of the supports in an automatic mode of operation, and allows support position adjustments or corrections by an operator in a separate manual mode of operation, which, if desired, may be one of two manual modes, one latched to achieve a preset advance and the other unlatched to advance for as long as there is a manual demand for it.Provision could be made so that, during the correction operation, the accumulated error for a particular support is displayed and offset automatically in accordance with the positional adjustment made, thereby automatically resetting the storage means.
Preferred self-advancing mine-roof supports
use a double-acting hydraulic ram for pushing
the face conveyor and pulling the support,
and known devices, for example using potentiometers, for measuring the extension or stroke of the ram and thus the extent of the
advance. Such devices may be associated with
selective presets to control a maxrnurn or
desired advance - and/or supply a different
signal relative to an adjustable preset.
It would, of course, be equally possible,
if not preferable, to use ultrasonic ram extension monitoring devices.
Often, although the pulling operation to bring a support to the face conveyor is
required for every support, it is satisfactory
for an even distribution of less than all, say
as few as a quarter, d the supports to perform the pushing operation whereby the face con
veyor is moved up to the mineral face. In
such a system, face adjustment may be satisfactorily monitored using data signals from
only those supports that will be involved in
pushing the face conveyor.
Adjustment of individual mine roof sup
ports in order to cancel cumulative advance
discrepancies and thereby maintain the
alignment of the face, places stringent require
ments on the accuracy of the advance measur
ing signal, and it is further desirable herein
to facilitate such accuracy.
Accordingly a mine roof support having
advance measuring, and signal producing
means is, for an advance of the support, made
operative to energise its support advance
means prior to release of the support from between the floor and the roof, so as to take up
any play in the linkages associated with such
advance means, the advance measuring and
signal producing means being operative after
such take-up of play, say on release of the support.
In operating the advance means, typically
a pressure-fluid-operated ram, while the roof
support is set between the floor and roof, it may be that, in addition to taking up any play, the face conveyor itself, where that acts as an anchorage for the advance means, will also be moved to some extent. However, this will not affect the accuracy of the signal generator in representing actual roof support advance.
In preferred embodiments, a sequencer will be incorporated whereby a support advance phase of operation will, on initiation, automatically cause energisation of the support advance means prior to lowering of the roofengaging structure of the support to allow the advance to take place. Such a sequencer may be incorporated at the roof supports themselves, say as a pre-determined time delay prior to release and lowering of the support,
or as a pre-requirement regarding the acmeve- ment of a minimum resistance, typically pres
sure or back pressure, in the support advance
means, or even related to sensing roof support
ram conditions.
Such a sequencer may be incorporated in
the support related coding, decoding and
control units of the system of our aibove- mentioned application. Alternatively, a sequencer may be incorporated in a remote
control unit where that unit also issues sup
port control signals to the supports, although
it may well be generally preferred for a single
signal to initiate predetermined sequenced
operation via interlocks or time delays at the
support as mentioned above.
The pre-energisation feature may be applied
to a conveyor pushing operation preceding
the support advance proper and this feature
of the invention concerns taking up any play
in the support to conveyor linkage prior to measuring the ram stroke and producing
corresponding signals, say using a ram pres
sure sensor for enabling or resetting purposes.
Embodiments of the invention, will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a schematic representation of
a mineral face working to which the invention is applicable;
Figure 2 is a block diagram of a remote control unit and two support-related units;
Figure 3 is a block diagram of a support related unit with advancing ram preenergisation under electronic control;
Figure 4 shows an alternative to Figure 3; and
Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a pressure fluid interlocked control.
A mineral face 10 is traversed by a mining machine 11 between a main gate 12 and a tail gate 13. As shown, the mining machine 11 is cutting on a traverse from the main gate to the tail gate. Cutting may also take place for the opposite direction of traverse, or idle return runs may be made.
The mining machine 11 is associated with a face conveyor 14 to which a row of selfadvancing mine supports are attached by double-acting hydraulic rams 16 for pushing the conveyor towards the face 10 and subsequently pulling lowered supports successively up to the face conveyor as indicated at the left hand side of Figure 1, and so to form the familiar snake of the face conveyor.
The supports are raised to engage the roof so that in this way, the roof of the face is left unsupported for a minimum length of time. The face conveyor 14 is shown feeding a conveyor 17 in the main gate for transporting material away from the face. A similar conveyor will be provided in the tail gate if cutting is to take place on both directions of traverse of the mining machine.
The supports 15 arr shown with interconnecting multi-core cables 20 which form part of a communication network between a remote control unit 25 and support-mounted units indicated in Figure 2 by the numeral 26. The remote control unit 25 includes command circuitry 28 for supplying coded command signals controlling sequential advances required of the supports 15, and will normally comprise a parallel operating, word organised, micro computer system.
These will be transmitted over the multicore cables 20 to support units such as shown at 26 and 27 for supports that, respectively, do and do not push the face conveyor.
For convenience, it is assumed that coded control or data words are transmitted bit by bit in series over one of the lines of the cables 20. In practice, different lines may be used for the different directions of transmission, with other lines serving for power supplies, clock pulses, emergency warning signals, and audio linking, etc. Alternatively, data and/or control signals may be transmitted in parallel say a byte at a time over groups of the lines
of the cable 20. For the preferred serial mode,
some form of word assembler, such as a serial toiparallel converter, may be required at the input at each of the units 26 and 27 as these will normally be parallel operated, word organised, data processing units, with means performing the opposite function for transmission in the opposite direction.
The supports units 26 and 27 are each shown as including a decoder 30. For the unit 27, decoder 30 is operative to supply control signals over line 31 to a control solenoid 32 for ram action to pull the associated support up to the face conveyor, and a signal on a line 33 enabling output fromi a pressure detection device 34 for indicating that the hydraulic props of the support are pressed against the roof of the mine working.
In the case of the support units 26, similar functions are controlled by its decoder 30 as indicated by the use of the same reference numerals. In addition, however, decoder outpat line 36 is also shown connected to a ram control solenoid 37 for controlling the application of pressureufluid to push the face conveyor towards the mineral face. A further decoder output line 38 is shown for enabling outputs from a ram extension sensor 39 that is assumed to provide a digital output, say by a digitiser from a potentiometer-based device.
In practice the two support units 26 and 27 may well be identical with the additional decoder outputs 36 and 37 not used for every support, though it may be preferred to use a ram extension sensor if desired. For convenience of description it is assumed that the ram extension sensor is operative relative to a preset so that it supplies signals which represent an error in relation to that preset.
Alternatively, of course, the total ram extension would be transmitted to the remote control unit.
The remote control unit 25 is shown as including an adder 45, normally the computing
arithmetic and logic unit of a micro processor
system, with parallel input lines 46 enabled by a control line 47 from the command means
28 when ram extension data is being received.
Outputs 48 of the adder 45 are shown feeding a multi-word store 49 normally part of the memory of a microSrocessor system, which
is addressed over lines 51 according to which
support is being controlled at any particular
time as determined by enabling line 52 for
controlling up dating of the store addressing
facility during an addressing phase when a
mine roof support is selected, for example,
using a counter.
The store 49 is also shown supplying the
adder 45 over lines 53 so that the adder serves
to accumulate the present contents of a par
ticular word location of the store with the
error or total extension signal for the current
advance operation.
Lines 53 are shown branched at 54 to feed a visual display unit 55 so that information regarding accumulated errors can be displayed either individually for each mine roof support, or simultaneously for a plurality or all of the mine roof supports.
In Figures 3 and 4 the local support control unit 26 is shown as including electrical means for ensuring that play is taken up in the advancing ram linkages before a support is released from the roof and pulled up to the face conveyor thereby ensuring that ram extension data is more accurate. For doubleacting roof supporting props the solenoid 40 may control only lowering of the support canopy, or raising too depending on its energisation state and may be suitably interlocked with the other solenoids, or by pressure fluid control valving for automatically advancing on an advance command. Figure 3 shows a time delay device 42, which could be digital, say a counter responsive to cycles of the remote monitoring unit, or analogue, say an
RC network.In its simplest digital form, the delay may be a monostabie or bistable device responsive to a subsequent signal from the remote monitoring and control unit.
This timing device is shown connected in the advance ram solenoid energising line 31 after branching to the roof support ram solenoid energising line 43.
Figure 3 also shows the roof pressure detector 34 for supplying signals to the remote control unit on interrogation by energisation of decoder output line 33, and the ram extension sensor 39 that is assumed to provide a digital output sampled by decoder output lines 38, though an analogue output could be digitised within the unit 26. The roof solenoid line 43 from the delay 42 is shown branched at 44 to the sensor 39 to zero or reset the latter or, for a pulse producing sensor, enable its pulse line.
Figure 4 shows an alternative arrangement in which a device 60 responsive to pressure in the advance ram is indicated as providing a signal for enabling a coincidence gate 61 between the advance solenoid and roof support solenoid lines 31 and 43.
Alternatively, of course, as will be described in Figure 5, there may be pressure-fluid servo interlock between the support advance ram and the roof support ram to achieve the energisation of advance ram and the roof support ram to achieve the energisation of advance rams prior to lowering the support canopy.
Clearly, a remote monitoring and control unit could be arranged to send over lines 20 separate advance solenoid energising and roof support solenoid energising command signals with a desired delay or a logic interlock dependent upon feed-back of pressure detection signals. Alternatively, a fine read-out of the advance ram extension could be provided, and the roof support lower signal sent only after the fine read-out signals had remained steady for a predetermined number of cycles, perhaps only one, of the remote control means. The latter operation would be temporary and would not result in accumulation to existing ram extension data at the control unit.
Other embodiments could utilise ramextension measurement on pushing over a face conveyor prior to advancing the support itself. Then both of the above techniques specificallly described, i.e. time delay or ram pressure sensing, could be used for gating signals to the remote control unit, but the requirement for interlocking with roof support ram release would not exist.
In the pressure fluid interlocked system of
Figure 5, the conveyor pushing/support advancing ram is indicated at 65 and the roof support props at 66 with appropriate non return valves to ensure safe operating conditions. A pilot operated control valve 68 for the ram 65 is shown as having drive and drain states for support advancing i.e. retraction of the piston of ram 65, with a safety bias to the drain state. In the drive state shown, pilot pressure is applied via branch line 69 when the support advance signal is received and operates the appropriate solenoid valve. The build up of pressure in the ram 65 will take up play in the mechanical couplings by the time a predetermined pressure is reached therein.This is sensed by a valve 71 with a preset or presettable bias so as to move from the position shown to its other position and connect pilot pressure fluid over line 72 to a prop control valve 74 shown in its prop energising state and moved therefrom by such action of the valve 71 to cause connection of the rams to return for positive retraction if desired.
It will be appreciated that the pressure sensitive valve 71 could be connected anywhere in the supply line to the advance side of the advancing ram 65 and still sense the appropriate pressure to cause pilot operation of the valve 72, i.e. without requiring a separate connection to the cylinder of the ram 65. It is also to be understood that where, as often is the case, the pilot and main supplies are taken in common from one source, the pilot arrangement of the valve 72 may be made directly pressure sensitive so as to itself to provide the desired operation at a predetermined pressure.
