- The
mining vehicle 1 may be manned or unmanned. An unmanned mining vehicle may be arranged to run automatically in the mine by its own navigation system, or alternatively there may be identifiers in the mine and themining vehicle 1 navigates in the mine by reading them. Further, anunmanned mining vehicle 1 may be guided by remote control from acontrol room 9. In such a case, themining vehicle 1 has one ormore cameras 10 and measuringdevices 11 that transmit information to thecontrol room 9. On the basis of the received information, the operator can give control commands to the mining vehicle. Two-way data transmission is then required between themining vehicle 1 and thecontrol room 9. Two-way data transmission is also required when using automatic mining vehicles, becauseunmanned mining vehicles 1 should transmit information of their location and the tasks they have performed so that themining vehicles 1 can be monitored. In addition, new tasks and updates can be transmitted to the mining vehicles during operation. - A mining vehicle I can have an information system that comprises a
control unit 12. The mine further has acontrol unit 13 that may be part of the information system of the mine. There may be two-way data transmission between thecontrol units supply cable 2 is arranged to transmit data in one direction only. The first optical fibre cable is then arranged to transmit data from thecontrol unit 13 of the mine to thecontrol unit 12 in the mining vehicle, and the second optical fibre cable is arranged to transmit data in the opposite direction. Because the optical fibre cable is used in one-way data transmission only, it may have a high data transmission capacity. Thecontrol unit 13 of the mine may be connected to theconnection unit 4, to which thesupply cable 2 can be connected. -

At the second end of thesupply cable 5, theelectric supply cable 15 is connected by means of power transmission means 26 to theelectric system 7 of themining vehicle 1. Thepower transmission unit 26 may comprise a slip ring or the like to enable electric supply from arotating drum 20 to theelectric system 7. Further, the firstoptical fibre cable 16 can be led to a firstrotating connection element 27 at the first end of thedrum 20, and correspondingly the secondoptical fibre cable 17 can be led to a secondrotating connection element 28 at the second end of thedrum 20. By means of therotating connection elements optical fibre cables drum 20 can be connected to the non-rotatingdata transmission cables mining vehicle 1 and are part of the information system of the mining vehicle. It is also possible to form one or more connecting cables and parts inside thedrum 20 between the second end of thesupply cable 2 and therotating connection element drum 20, there may be one or more conductor elements between the second end of the supply cable and the power transmission means 26. -
FIG. 4 illustrates arotating connection element 27. Therotating connection element 27 may comprise arotor 31 arranged to rotate in direction A around theaxis 21 together with thedrum 20. Further, theconnection element 27 may comprise astator 32 fastened non-rotatably relative to thebody 33 of themining vehicle 1. Theoptical light cable 29 leading to thecontrol unit 12 of themining vehicle 1 can be connected to thestator 32 and theoptical light cable 16 on thedrum 20 can be connected to therotor 31. Therotating connection elements drum 20. - It should be noted that it is also possible to use any other data transmission cable intended for one-way data transmission instead of an optical fibre cable.
- Further, in some cases the cable reel of the invention can also be used with data transmission cables adapted for two-way data transmission.
- The drawings and the related description are only intended to illustrate the idea of the invention. The invention may vary in detail within the scope of the claims.
