Definitions
- the invention relates in general to mining safety systems, and particularly to methods and apparatus for monitoring the real-time dynamic loading rate on support systems used in an underground mine to provide warning indications used as an aid in determining when to install additional support systems, and to alert miners of dangerous loading conditions on the support systems during mining operations.
- Wooden support columns and posts employed for use in supporting the roof and interior portions of mine shafts provide cracking and crying sounds from to alert miners of dangerous loading conditions during mining. Hydraulic structures and the like, however, provide little or no discernable audible or visual indications to provide warnings of excessive loads or imminent failure.
- Efforts made to provide alarm indicators and warn miners of danger in the past have typically employed static load indicators which would identify substantial changes and shifts due to abutment pressures from the strata exerted by advancing rock.
- static alarms often mechanical in nature, provided a condition of either a safe or dangerous condition; however, the alarm apparatus was incapable of identifying changes on a real-time basis so as to warn the miners in advance of dangerous conditions.
- MRSs Mobile Roof Supports
- apparatus for monitoring the dynamic loading rate on mobile roof supports provide a load rate monitoring or warning system for use with the mobile roof support machines.
- This system uses monitoring apparatus employing a dedicated embedded processor to monitor pressure inside hydraulic jacks associated with the mobile roof support. Fluid pressure of the hydraulic jacks is proportional to the internal pressure in the piston head surface area of the hydraulic cylinder.
- the embedded processor reads changes in cylinder pressure from various load sensing devices using multiplex data acquisition channels, and converts the pressure changes to load rates which are then displayed in a manner which can be observed by all of the miners in the vicinity of the mobile roof support.
- the load rates are displayed using three light indicators, green, yellow and red, to indicate the condition of support system (green - OK; yellow - warning of deteriorating condition; and red - immediate hazard).
- the methods and apparatus of the described invention provide monitoring of dynamic loading rates on mine support systems by calculating cyclic changes in loading from abutment pressures, which cyclic changes may be compared against previously stored slow-change criteria for appropriate (e.g., green, yellow and red) warning indications in order to sequentially activate different color lights and/or audio alarms as the dynamic loading rate increases on the support systems.
- appropriate sensory indicators are provided on a real-time basis as relating to dynamic load rate conditions.
- the present invention relates to methods and apparatus for monitoring the dynamic loading rate on support systems used in an underground mine to withstand abutment pressure.
- At least one load sensing device is adapted to be coupled to one or more of the support systems used in the underground mine.
- the programmable controller is provided for processing support system loading information received from the at least one load sensing device.
- a plurality of sensory indicators such as audible alarms or visual light indicators, are controlled by the programmable controller to provide timely warning indications used as an aid in determining when to install additional support systems and alert miners of dangerous loading conditions on the support systems during mining operations on a real-time basis.

Fletcher or Tamrock, manufactures of commercial MRS units.
- MRS mobile roof support
- two pressure transducers 16 and 18 and/or stress gauge/load cell gauges 20 and 22 are mounted on each mobile roof support (MRS) which are monitored continually by mine personnel to determine loads and loading rates on the machines.
- This loading information is used by MRS operators to determine when to cease mining operations and/or remove miners and equipment from an area before a dangerous fall occurs.
- the load rate monitoring (warning) apparatus 10 employing a load rate monitoring controller 24 is used with the MRS to provide visible indicators that can be easily seen by all miners in the vicinity of the MRS unit.
- the apparatus 10 monitors the dynamic loading on the MRS and activates green 26, amber or yellow 28, and red 30 warning lights mounted on the canopy near the dial gauges. Each light 26, 28 30 represents a different loading rate on the machine.
- the warning light activation will depend on the actual value of dynamic loading measurement and, thus, will reflect the general safety condition of the MRS unit: green - safe and/or normal operating condition; yellow - caution indicating possible deteriorating conditions; red - unsafe conditions and/or hazards requiring immediate attention and/or evaluation.
- the embedded processor reads changes in cylinder pressure through four multiplexed data acquisition channels of the load rate monitoring controller 24, and converts these pressure changes to load rates which are then displayed by the three load rate indicators, herein LED clusters provided by MTL Incorporated.
- FIGS. 2 A and 2B a schematic block diagram shows the electrical details of the apparatus 10 for monitoring the dynamic loading rate on a mobile roof support using pressure transducers 16 and 18.
- Apparatus 10 houses the monitoring controller 24 in an explosion-proof enclosure type No. 27122, Certification No. X/P2647-1, provided by Mining Controls Inc.
- the internal components of the explosion-proof container 32 include the embedded processor microcontroller, MICRO 485, as a programmable controller 34 for controlling solid-state control relays 36, 38 and 40 coupled to green, yellow and red LED clusters 26, 28 and 30, respectively.
- the solid-state relay controls are 4-channel solenoid/alarm driver modules MTL 2242, each channel being coupled to four light emitting diodes (LEDs) of respective LED clusters, herein green cluster DAG171, yellow cluster DAY171, and red cluster DAR171 also provided by MTL Incorporated, as the indicator lights 26, 28 and 30 controlled by drivers 36, 38 and 40, respectively.

- the drivers 36, 38 and 40 may be connected to any alarm devices, such as audible alarms and the like with varying tones or messages provided in accordance with the situation being monitored.
- the apparatus 10 is powered with low power intrinsically safe power supplies 42 and 44, herein MTL 3991/B 500 milliamp power supply and Acroplan 5EB50 5 volt DC power module, respectively, to satisfy the low power requirements of the apparatus 10.
- the monitoring controller 24 internal components are provided as being intrinsically safe, and barriers may be provided for the external components.
- the apparatus 10 may be communicated through local operation (LO) by an operator for programming the apparatus 10 using the pocket data terminal 50, herein MTL 61 IB, which is connected to an external 9 pin D-type communication connector 38 to a serial data interface 52, MTL 3058, for serial data communications between the computer terminal 50 and the programmable controller 34 via an external 9-pin D-type connecter 46 between the serial data interface 52 and the programmable controller 34.
- LO local operation
- a user may connect any computer terminal such as the pocket data terminal 50 to the apparatus 10 via the described serial data communications interface for programming the apparatus 10.
- Optional load rate indicators may provide various visual and audio indicators used in configurations to meet required application features, which indicators may include multicolored strobes, fluorescent visual indicators and audio alarms, which may be obtained as intrinsically safe by design for connection to the drivers 36, 38 and 40 of the apparatus 10.
- the term "intrinsically-safe" as applied to the apparatus 10 and its electrical circuitry is intended to mean that any electrical sparking which may occur during normal working conditions is incapable of igniting a flammable gas or vapor (e.g. , 5 to 15 volume percent methane in air).
- a device or circuit must have both electrical energy (e.g., resistance, capacitance, and inductance) and thermal energy at levels below that required to ignite a specific hazardous atmosphere (e.g., 5 to 15 volume percent methane in air).
- the monitoring controller 24 may be sealed against entry of the potentially explosive atmosphere, entry of that atmosphere through failure of the seals, mechanical damage to the device or seals, or the like which allows the potentially explosive atmosphere to contact the electrical circuit would not result in ignition.
- An intrinsically-safe design is distinguished from an "explosion- proof" design in that, in an explosion-proof device, the potentially explosive atmosphere is prevented from contacting the electrical circuit but, in the event of some failure of the containment system whereby the potentially explosive atmosphere did contact the electrical system, the possibility of ignition would exist.
- the present intrinsically-safe apparatus 10 employs LED clusters 26, 28 and 30 rather than, for example, an incandescent bulb (which might be suitable for an explosion-proof device) since, should the glass portion of such an
- an ignition source i.e., thermal energy of the filament
- the light-emitting diodes of the present intrinsically-safe apparatus 10 even if broken during operation, would not present such an explosion hazard.
- other sensory indicators which are intrinsically safe by design may be connected to drivers 36, 38 and 40.
- the apparatus 10 may be provided as an integrated package which can be retrofitted to existing MRS units for evaluating critical load rate settings for the underground mine support system in order to evaluate its performance.
- the real-time monitoring provided by the apparatus 10 thus may be used for analyzing dynamic loading rates used on various support systems and equipment used in underground mines.
- the pressure transducers 16 and 18 are coupled directly to the fluid of a hydraulic system, whereas the strain gauge instrumentation 20 and 22 may be welded directly to or otherwise mounted upon such support systems.
- the pressure transducers are provided for measuring between 0 and 5000 psi, but may measure up to 10,000 psi inside the hydraulic cylinders.
- the welded strain gauge instrumentation typically measures between 0 to 50,000 microstrains ( ⁇ e).
- Measurements from the pressure transducer and/or strain gauge load sensing devices are thus adapted to be coupled to one or more of the support systems used in the underground mine, and the momtoring apparatus 10 is programmed as described below to calculate the loading rate on such support systems having one or more load sensing devices installed thereon.
- the apparatus 10 is programmed to sequentially activate different colored lights and/or audio alarms as the loading rate increases on the support systems.
- the apparatus 10 is intended for installation with numerous underground support systems used in mining applications to alert miners of dangerous loading conditions, which support systems include longwall shields, mobile roof supports (MRS) machines, hydraulic jacks, rock bolts, steel sets, and roof trusses and the like.
- the described apparatus 10 provides a low -power integrated intrinsically safe mine support monitoring system.
- the pressure transducers 16 and 18 are provided as Omegadyne, Inc. PX41T0-5KG5V-MSHA pressure transducers which coupled directly to the hydraulic fluid of the hydraulic cylinder mine support system of mobile roof support machinery.
- system power-up is provided at Step 60 in FIG. 3A, and the serial port is set up for communications at Step 62.
- stored values are provided for load and validate data, and adjusted values are calculated at Step 66 by dividing the stored values by 0.82 providing adjusted values as 82% of the stored load and validate values.
- the MICRO 485 programmable controller 34 is a 12 MHz 80C32 based microcontroller having an Intel 83C51 central processing unit (CPU), including multiplexed analog to digital (ADC) input ports which are calibrated at Step 68.
- the remaining input- output (I/O) ports of the programmable controller 34 are initialized at Step 70, and LED light indicators 26, 28 and 30 are set to with an initial off state at Step 72.
- Step 74 clears and sets in the interrupt function, which interrupt function is further described in FIG. 3C below as Interrupt Function 150, which is called approximately every l/16th second.
- the programmable controller 34 waits for a validate state, which should occur after approximately 11 milliseconds to ensure sufficient settling of the apparatus 10 to its imtial validate state.
- Step 78 sets the time between interrupt for measuring the loading rate, and Step 80 starts an endless main program loop 80, during which load measurement interrupts occur for measuring the loading rates on the underground mine support systems.
- the interrupt algorithm for measuring the loading rate is described further below in connection with FIG. 3C.
- Step 82 With the pocket data terminal 50 connected via serial communications to apparatus 10 as discussed above, the input from the serial port is observed at Step 82, and Step 84 determines whether programming data is being provided via a local operation (LO) from a user. If local operation is not being provided via LO
- Step 86 determines whether default values have been set for the loading apparatus 10. If default values have been previously set, reset values may not be set and the program flow returns to Step 80. If, however, reset values need to be set, the reset default values are set at Step 88 and the values are saved at Step 90. The adjusted values are then recalculated at Step 92 and program flow continues at Step 80 with the endless main loop during which the apparatus 10 waits for its interrupts for measuring the loading on the support systems.
- Step 94 suspends interrupts to the apparatus 10 and the set values Step 96 is used for setting the values used in the dynamic load rate momtoring apparatus 10, as described in FIG. 3B below.
- Step 98 determines if the set values are to be used, and if the values should not be used, interrupts are reset at Step 100 and program flow continues to Step 80. If, however, the values which were programmed during the set value Step 96 are to be used, Step 102 saves the set values and Step 104 recalculates the readjusted values. After having the adjusted values saved, Step 106 resets interrupts and program flow continues at Step 80, as discussed above.
- Step 96 where the computer terminal 50 is being used by the operator, setting of the values is provided at Step 96, which is facilitated through the use of a HELP screen on the terminal 50 provided at Step 110.
- Polling of the terminal 50 keys is provided at Step 112, upon receipt of a keyed input, the program flow continues to determine whether one of the "R" "Y” "B” “F” "H” "K” or "Q" keys have been entered by the operator via the terminal 50. Thus, Step 114 upon entry of "R” continues program flow at Step 116 for entering new values for the red light indicator. If at Step 118 the "Y" key is detected, Step 120 is used for entering new values for the yellow light indicator, and if at Step 122 "B” is detected, Step 124 enters new values for both red and yellow indicators.
- Step 126 looks for "F" for setting the flash rate of the visual indicators.
- Step 128 receives new values for the flashing of the visual indicators. If the user of the terminal 50 requires help, the "H" key at Step 130 provides the HELP menu via Show Help block 132.
- "K” is used to keep the new values set via the terminal 150 to save and quit the data entry input at Step 136. If, however, it is desired that new values not be saved, "Q" detected at Step 138 provides for a quitting without saving the values at Step 140.
- the set value 96 routine exits to Step 98 of FIG. 3A. Turning now to FIG.
- the interrupt function 150 is illustrated as being called every 1/16th of a second.
- the values are read from the analog digital converter (ADC), and the ADC values are added to memory storage at Step 154.
- Interrupt function 150 then proceeds to determine whether the dynamic loading rate changes observed are significant as follows.
- Step 156 if the loading pressure measured by the ADC at Step 152 has increased eight (8) times over its previous value within a half-second interval, the algorithm proceeds to determine the significance of the increased loading.
- Step 156 program flow continues to Step 158 where a reset of all needed values is performed and the end of interrupt is executed at Step 160, remrning program flow to the endless main loop of Step 80 in FIG. 3A.
- Step 162 performs an average of the values from the ADC, and Step 164 calculates the change from the last time the interrupt function was executed.
- Step 166 the weighted average of four (4) consecutive reads (every two seconds, i.e., four half-second intervals) is provided in a program load to determine if the values have been averaged four times. If previously averaged four times, Step 168 calculates the change from the last slow cycle and Step 170 finds the largest change from the ADC.
- Step 176 if the slow change criteria is larger than the current observed loading change, program flow continues to Step 178 which determines whether the change is going down. If at Step 178 the loading is observed as going down, the green LED light indicator is activated at Step 180. If the change is not going down, however, Step 182 determines whether the change is less than the calculated slow yellow value, and if the observed change is less than the slow yellow value, the green LED light indicator is also set at Step 184. Step 186 determines whether the red or yellow light indicator should be actuated.
- Step 188 sets the yellow LED light indicator, otherwise if the change is not less than the calculated slow red value acceptable for changes in loading pressure, Step 190 sets the red LED light indicator and program flow continues at Step 192 where the value for the flasher is obtained or calculated to determine the flash rate, and the appropriate light indicator LEDs are flashed at Step 194 via the appropriate settled driver 36, 38 or 40.
- Step 192 the value for the flasher is obtained or calculated to determine the flash rate, and the appropriate light indicator LEDs are flashed at Step 194 via the appropriate settled driver 36, 38 or 40.
- Return from the interrupt function 150 is then provided with a reset of all needed values at Step 158 and an end of interrupt execution at 160.
- Step 176 determines that the slow change is not larger than the current change in dynamic loading observed by the apparatus 10, then Step 196 determines if the change is going down. If the change in dynamic loading is decreasing, Step 198 sets the green LED indicator. If, however, the change is not decreasing, Step 200 determines if the change is less than the calculated ADC yellow value, and if the change in dynamic loading is less than the yellow value, Step 202 then sets the green LED indicator. If, however, the change is not less than the calculated yellow value at Step 200, then Step 204 determines if the change is less than the calculated ADC red value. If the change is less than the red value, then Step 206 sets the yellow LED indicator. If, however, the change is not less than the calculated red value, then the red LED indicator is set at Step 208, and program flow continues to obtain the flasher value at Step 192, flashing
- the described apparatus 10 can be retrofitted to the various support systems described above, with loading histories observed in operation being obtained to determine critical load rate settings for the apparatus 10.
- the methods and apparatus of the described invention provide monitoring of dynamic loading rates on mine support systems by calculating cyclic changes in loading from abutment pressures, which cyclic changes may be compared against previously stored slow-change criteria for green, yellow and red warning indications in order to sequentially activate different color lights and/or audio alarms as the dynamic loading rate increases on the support systems.
- the load rate monitoring controller of the invention determines whether the significance of dynamic changing in the loading rates on support systems used in an underground mine to withstand abutment pressures. Accordingly, appropriate sensory indicators are provided on a real-time basis as relating to dynamic load rate conditions.
