Emulsion explosives have long been widely used around the world. The use of emulsion explosives can radically improve the safety of transportation and loading of explosives, since non-explosive components are transported and charged and the final "explosive product" is formed only in charged wells. Currently, the technology of using emulsion explosives in the underground space is developing rapidly. The main disadvantage of the solutions already available on the market is the large dimensions of devices for transporting explosives and their components, which is unacceptable in a confined space, such as underground. Also, in a number of technologies during underground mining, charging of ascending (vertical) holes or wells is provided, which makes special demands on the viscosity of the resulting emulsion explosive.

The mixing and charging machine for underground mining is designed for temporary storage and preparation of emulsion explosives with the possibility of loading ascending holes and wells.

The underground mixing and charging machine contains the following basic elements. The supporting frame 1, for example, a reinforced welded collapsible design, is designed for mounting on it technological equipment, water tanks 2 and for gas-generating additives 3, hopper 4 for the emulsion matrix. Using the supporting frame 1, the device is moved using a self-propelled chassis (for example, Normet, Paus, etc., not conventionally shown in the drawing). To this end, guides 12 are provided in the lower part of the carrier frame 1, with the help of which the carrier frame 1 is rigidly fixed on a self-propelled chassis. A hopper 4 for the emulsion matrix, a container 2 for water, a container 3 for a gas-generating additive are fixed inside the supporting part of the frame. Tanks 2 and 3, as well as the hopper 4 are hydraulically connected through valves 9, 6, 8 to the piston pumps 5 and 7. The pumps are fixed under the hopper 4 next to the tanks 2 and 3: a piston pump 5 for pumping a gas-generating additive and a piston pump 7 for pumping the emulsion matrix from the tank of the hopper 4. Due to the fact that the hopper 4 of the emulsion matrix is made in the form of a parallelepiped with a base in the form of an inverted regular pyramid with angles at the apex between the side faces of more than 90 degrees, it is possible to completely unload the internal tank without washing. Each pump 5 and 7 can be equipped with a pressure gauge and check valves. Also, a filter system may be provided in the hydraulic circuit of the device. As the materials of containers 2 and 3, as well as the hopper 4, it is preferable to use special plastic or composite materials. The gas-generating additive supply system consists of a storage tank 3 mounted on a carrier frame 1 of the device. The tank 3 is designed to store the gas-generating additive until it is pumped into the emulsion matrix through the injector 25, acting as an agent for sensitizing and lubricating the charging hose 23. The gas-generating additive is poured into the tank 3 through the lid located in the upper part of the tank 3. The exhaust line on the tank 3 drives the gas-generating additive through the exhaust valve 6 of the tank 3. The exhaust line of the gas-generating additive may include a check valve, a flow indicator and a filter in the line, and then an injector 25. The piston pump 5 for the gas-generating additive has a slave drive, which is put into operation by the piston pump 7. The filter of the solution of the gas-generating additive can be installed on the line between the flow indicator and the piston pump 5 for the gas-generating additive. It could be, for example, a Swagelok filter. From the piston pump 5, the gas-generating additive flows through a hydraulic line into a three-way valve 26, rigidly mounted on the supporting frame 1. This three-way valve 26 allows the gas-generating additive to either pass directly to the injector 25 during the production of emulsion explosive, or to the sampling point of the gas-generating additive during flow calibration. During the working process, the handle of the crane can, for example, be directed up (production), and during calibration - down. The non-return valve can be installed on the supply line of the gas generating additive to prevent air from entering the system. To calibrate the flow rate of the gas-generating additive, first you need to open the ball valve 6 on the container 3 for the gas-generating additive and turn the three-way valve 30 through 180 ° to the calibration position (handle down), the circle for measuring the density of the solution should be under the sampling point for sample collection gas generating additives for the purpose of weighing it. This process is performed during pumping water from the tank 2 through the piston pump 7 at startup. After the pump 7 performs 10 cycles necessary for calibration, it can be turned off, return the three-way valve 26 back to its initial position (handle up) and weigh the sample. The calibration point of the gas generating additive may include a pressure relief valve located behind the panel. It reproduces the pressure applied to the hose to ensure that the calibration volume is an accurate representation of what is supplied to the hose during the operation of the piston pump 5. The water tank 2 serves to store and dispense water for the initial filling of the device’s hydraulic system, as well as flushing the system after completion of work related to charging emulsion explosive.

The size of the capacity of the hopper 4 for the emulsion matrix in accordance with the replaceable need for emulsion explosives, for example, the capacity may be 1.3, 2 and 4 m ³ . The hopper 4 is equipped with a rotary shutter 8 at the bottom to release the emulsion matrix. The ventilation valve 17 and the low-melting safety disk 17 are located on the top of the hopper 4 to relieve possible excessive pressure of the tank during operation and to prevent emergency situations.

A pneumatic station 10, for example, Drago President, serves to accumulate and convert energy from an external source of pneumatic energy 24, for example a mine pneumatic network. Also, the machine can be powered with energy using the energy of the selected power of the motor of the self-propelled chassis, or alternatively with the help of an electric motor. To ensure the operation of the station, a block 11 of a pneumatic filter, a regulator and a lubricator, for example Festo, is used. To place the wiring, use the control cabinet 13. For carrying out loading and unloading and repair operations, the lifting eyes 14 are rigidly fixed to the frame 1. On the side of the device in the box 16 there is a controller mounted on brackets, which is necessary to establish the preparation of emulsion explosive substances. Power for the controller 16 is provided by batteries. The controller 16 is connected using a connector to the pumps 5 and 7. If there is an external source of water for flushing it is connected to the device through a ball valve 19. The charging hose 23 is connected to the hydraulic system of the device through an adapter for connecting the charging hose. At the end of the charging hose 23, with the adapter 21 for the static mixer, a static mixer 22 is fixed. The size of the outlet nozzle of the static mixer 22 is taken in accordance with the required mixing characteristics of the emulsion matrix and the gas-generating additive. In the injector 25, a gas generating additive is introduced into the emulsion stream coaxially with the emulsion matrix stream. In front of the injector 25, a thickener 20 made in the form of a hollow cylinder with local resistances 27 is installed in the hydraulic circuit of the emulsion matrix. The distance between the local resistances 27 in the thickener 20 L is more than D, m, and the diameter d of the passage channel of the local resistance of the thickener 20 is determined by the formula d = D / 20, m, where D is the diameter of the well. For example, with a well diameter of 0.1 m, we have L = 0.1 m, d = 0.005 m. These dependences were obtained experimentally for a thickener 20 made of steel. The main parameter characterizing these dependencies is the diameter D of the charged blast hole, m, mk, the required viscosity of the emulsion explosive is directly dependent on the diameter D. The number and geometry of local resistances 27 are determined empirically. Local resistance in the thickener 20 of a cylindrical shape can be made conical in shape (Fig. 7), in the form of Laval nozzles or a cylindrical shape (not shown conditionally). Deviations from the above dependencies do not allow to obtain the above-described effect of increasing the final viscosity of emulsion explosives.

Mixing and charging machine for underground mining works as follows. Before starting the device, it is necessary to check the following indicators and systems:

- the level of the emulsion matrix in the hopper 4;

- water level in tank 2;

- the level of gas-generating additives in the tank 3;

- all containers must be covered with lids;

- there should be no leaks on pumps 5 and 7;

- there should be no visible leaks in all areas of the hydraulic system of the device;

- taps must be shut off;

- All emergency shutdown systems must be in good condition.

To activate the hydraulic system, first make sure that the rotary shutter 8 from the hopper 4 for the emulsion matrix is closed. Open the valve 9 on the water tank 2 at the point of hydraulic connection with the supply line of the emulsion matrix. Thus, the hose and pipelines going from the water tank 2 to the container 4 and the piston pump 7 are completely flushed. Pump water through the system at start-up, then opens the butterfly valve 8 on the hopper 4 to drive the emulsion matrix through the piston pump 7. At the end of the process pumping, close the valve 9 of the water tank 9 and the water valve - the device will now produce an emulsion explosive. Also, the above procedure is performed in the opposite direction to flush the device upon completion of the production of emulsion explosive.

The device uses the high pressure air provided in the underground conditions by the customer’s service for the operation of the pneumatic station 10, which in turn drives the piston pumps 5 and 7. It is very important that the air hoses and fittings of the device are in good working condition. Whenever a pneumatic hose from an external source of pneumatic energy 24 is connected to the device, both ends of the hose must be secured with safety clips (not shown conditionally). Before connecting the air supply from source 24 to the device, make sure that all hoses are clean, free of dirt and water. In some cases, blow out hoses with air before connecting to the device. Once the hoses are connected, make sure that the safety clips are installed and then slowly turn on the air supply from the pneumatic energy source 24, listening for air leaks. The air supply regulator from block 11 can be pre-set to a maximum value of 4.2 bar.

When disconnecting the air supply from source 28 from the device, turn off the main supply valve, turn on the air drain valve 11 to relieve system pressure and the cyclic air drain valve several times so that all the air leaves the supply side. Continue to do this until you no longer hear the sound of air coming out of the drain valve 11. After that, remove the safety clips and hoses from the device. Fold the hoses and hang them either on the machine or on the wall.

The emulsion matrix located in the hopper 4 is supplied to the piston pump 7 through a flexible transfer hose. Pump 7 is a reciprocating piston pump that produces a pulsed flow. Pump 7 is driven by a pneumatic station 10. Compressed air is supplied by customer services from source 24. Pump 7 delivers an emulsion based on ammonium nitrate through a hydraulic system to injector 25. A gas generating additive is injected into injector 25 through a three-way valve 26 from piston pump 5. In the injector 25, a gas generating additive is introduced into the emulsion stream coaxially with the emulsion matrix stream, whereby the gas generating additive forms a film along the entire inner surface of the supply line and charging hose 2 3, i.e. acts as a lubricant to facilitate pumping of the product as an emulsion explosive. In the absence of a gas generating additive in the charging hose 23, the pumping will slow down and eventually stop. The supply of the charging hose 23 to the bottom is carried out using a feeder 18 of the charging hose mounted inside the carrier frame 1. On the supply side of the pumps 5 and 7, a filter and a pressure gauge can be integrated. The filter prevents contaminants such as stones and crystals from entering the unit. Static mixer 22 further mixes the gas generating additive and emulsion to further ensure that they are mixed properly and thereby sensitize the product. The speed of the pumps 5 and 7 is regulated, installed and checked using the controller 16 connected to the pumps. The performance of pumps 5 and 7 are displayed on the display panel of the controller 16. The pumps 5 and 7 are turned on and off through the control valve at the pneumatic station 10. After the charging procedure is completed, the device is washed in the sequence indicated above during preliminary washing.

The use of a mixing and charging machine for underground mining provides the following advantages:

- the possibility of loading emulsion explosive ascending wells;

- reducing the complexity of manufacturing loading;

- minimization of the overall dimensions of the device due to the compact design layout.
