Definitions

  • This invention relates to picks for use with mining machines and whilst not limited thereto is particularly applicable to picks for use in coal mining machines.
  • the mining machines with which such picks are used include a circular elongated cutting head having spiral rows of picks mounted thereon.
  • the cutter is rotatably driven from an appropriate power source and is brought into contact with a coal seam. As the head is rotated the picks cut coal from the seam which is subsequently removed by a conveyor and transport means.
  • the number of picks on a cutter head varies however a typical head would have any where from 100 to 300 picks mounted thereon.
  • Mining machines of the aforementioned type are well known in the mining industry and are generally referred to as continuous miners and long wall shearers.
  • the picks used in such machines include a body or head having a pick point and a shank.
  • the shank has a circumferential groove or channel adjacent its end remote from the pick point which accommodates a clip thereon whereby the pick is mounted in a holder on the cutter head.
  • a further circumferential groove or grooves is or are located in the head of the pick, the purpose of which will be explained later.
  • the pick point is formed of a relatively small tungsten carbide or hardened steel insert which is housed in a bore in the pick body and secured thereto by suitable means e.g. silver solder.
  • the securing clip is made of spring steel and is of the split ring type. A number of dimples are pressed outwardly from the surface of the clip to effectively increase its overall thickness dimension.
  • the diameter of the clip has to be compressed so as to be accommodated wholly within the mentioned groove.
  • the clip expands to its original diameter and the dimples lock into a circumferential groove in the holder and so retain the pick therein.
  • Being of spring steel considerable force is required to cause the securing clip to be accommodated wholly within the groove in the shank and the mounting of the pick within the holder is effected by hammer blows. It sometimes happens that the securing clip is distorted or twisted during installation of the pick. This does not become apparent until mining operations are commenced. The result is the pick is not properly mounted in its holder and is quickly damaged and worn with consequential wear and damage to the holder itself. Also broken or damaged clips could prevent rotation of the pick and allow it to become more easily dislodged from the holder and lost before they are worn out.
  • the number of picks mounted in a cutter head vary in accordance with the type of head used. As previously stated the number varies from 100 to 300 picks and it is not uncommon to replace up to 75 worn, damaged or lost picks in a normal mining shift.
  • securing clips as presently used suffer from a number of disadvantages and there has been a need to provide a securing clip which will not be damaged during installation, which will not damage the holder in the cutting head, which will properly, and securely retain the pick in its holder which will permit the pick to freely rotate in its holder and which leads to ease of operation in the installation and removal of the pick as circumstances dictate.
  • the present invention provides a pick and a securing clip which overcomes the aforementioned problems and which provides a pick and a securing clip which will last the duration of a mining shift and only has to be replaced during normal maintenance shifts when the machine is not in operation.
  • the invention comprises a coal or rock pick including a body with a cone shaped head and a shank extending therefrom, a securing clip housed in a circumferential groove adjacent the end of the shank remote from the head, an open ended longitudinal bore extending from the apex of the cone and closed at its inner end, said bore constituting a magazine for an elongated pick point or array of pick points housed therein.
  • the pick point is formed of tungsten carbide or hardened steel and preferably the securing clip comprises a sleeve formed of plastic elastomeric material having a smooth internal bore and an external circumferential flange intermediate its ends, the inner diameter and length of the sleeve being such that it can be force fitted over the shank and accommodated in said groove, the external circumferential flange when the pick is inserted in a holder being accommodated in an internal circumferential flange in the holder to retain the pick therein.
  • the securing clip is more effective than the spring steel clips as currently used.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a typical pick currently in use
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a typical pick currently in use and showing how the pick body and spring clip are damaged as a result of wearing away of the tungsten carbide insert;
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the invention
  • Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the pick illustrated in Fig. 3
  • Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a securing clip in accordance with the invention.
  • the conventional pick includes a cone shaped body or head
  • the head 1 has a pick point 3 housed in a bore (not shown) in the head and on extraction groove 4.
  • the pick point is secured in a position by any suitable means e.g. silver solder.
  • the shank 2 forms an integral part of the body 1 which is provided at its rear end with a clip 5 seating in a circumferential groove 6 on the shank whereby the pick is connected to a holder in a cutter head (not shown).
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the wear and damage caused to the body 1 after the pick point 2 is worn away leaving a typical flattened end 7 which greatly reduced cutting efficiency The wearing of the pick point and body can occur very rapidly particularly if harder than expected coal and rock formation is encountered during cutting.
  • the pick includes a cone shaped body or head 8 having an integral shank 9 and a clip 10 housed in a circumferential groove 11 in the shank.
  • the head 8 has an axial bore 12 which forms a magazine and positioned within the magazine are a number of pick points 13, one positioned in front of the other as illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4.
  • the pick points are of hollow arrow head shape in cross section as illustrated in Fig. 4 however the last point 14 in the array is triangular shaped with a flat base 15 which seats against the blind end of the axial bore 12 to provide solid support for the array of points.
  • the pick points 13 are formed of tungsten carbide or hardened steel depending on the purpose to which the pick is to be put and secured in the bore 12 by heat shrinkage or silver solder or a combination of these. Whilst it is preferred to use a multiplicity of pick points 13 as illustrated these may be replaced with a single elongated point extending through the length of the bore.
  • the clip 5 in conventional picks is manufactured from spring steel. It is of the split ring type as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 and has a number of dimples 16 pressed outwardly therefrom which when the pick is mounted in a holder in the cutter head of a mining machine are accommodated in an internal groove in a holder (not shown).
  • Fig. 2 illustrates a conventional pick with a damaged spring steel clip 5 thereon. It will be noted that the clip has opened and the wall 17 of the clip has twisted and has been forced over th rear end of the shank 4. This prevents rotation of the pick in the holder and makes it extremely difficult and dangerous to extract it.
  • Figs. 3, 4 and 5 illustrates securing clip in accordance with this invention.
  • the clip illustrated in the figures is made from plastic elastomeric material preferably polyurethane and comprises a sleeve 18 having a smooth internal wall 19 and a circumferential flange or bead 20.
  • the inner diameter and length of the sleeve of the sleeve is such that it can be force fitted over the rear end of shank 4 and accommodated in groove 11.
  • the flange 20 when the pick is mounted in its holder being accommodated in a circumferential groove therein to retain the pick in the holder in a freely rotatable manner.
