- Fig. 1 depicts an underground mining operation 10 involving a miner 12, a feeder breaker 14, a conveyor belt 16 and a shuttle car 18.
- the shuttle car 18 is used to transport material from the cutting face 20, where the miner 12 operates, to the feeder breaker 14 at the head of the conveyor belt 16.
- the shuttle car 18 runs on electrical power supplied from a power distribution control box 22 via an electrical cable 24.
- the electrical cable 24 runs from the power distribution control box 22 to the feeder breaker 14 and from there extends to a cable reel 26 on the shuttle car 18.
- a hydraulic circuit 100 such as depicted in Fig. 7, is used to connect the hydraulic system of an ancillary vehicle, such as an LHD loader, to the motor of the cable reel 26.
- the motor of the cable reel 26 is then driven to fully spool the electrical cable 24 onto the cable reel 26.
- the mining operation 10 depicted in Fig. 1 shows the sites of the former power distribution control box 22' and the former feeder breaker 14' prior to the last stepping forward process.
- This improved stepping forward process for the mining operation 10 requires much less manual labour and therefore, has the significant advantages of saving on labour costs and of reducing the occupational health and safety risks and equipment damage risks associated with manual spooling of the electrical cable.
- a hydraulic circuit 100 is connected via a first check valve 202 to a first hydraulic system 200 of a first vehicle, such as the shuttle car 18 depicted in Fig. 1.

- the first switching valve 120 is also connected to an auxiliary return outlet 122 and is adapted to switch between a first state, in which the return line 104 is in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir 208 of the first vehicle, and a second state, in which the return line 104 is in fluid communication with the auxiliary return outlet 122.
- the hydraulic circuit 100 further includes a case drain line 112 connecting a drain port of the hydraulic motor 210, via a resiliently biased second switching valve 124, to a drain system 212 of the first vehicle.
- the second switching valve 124 is also connected to an auxiliary drain outlet 126 and is adapted to switch between a first state, in which the case drain line 112 is in fluid communication with the drain system 212 of the first vehicle, and a second state, in which the case drain line 112 is in fluid communication with the auxiliary drain outlet 126.
- the hydraulic circuit 100 further includes an auxiliary supply inlet 130 connected via a second check valve 114 to the supply line 102 upstream of the first flow control valve 106.
- the auxiliary supply inlet 130 is also connected to pressure switches of the first and second switching valves 120, 124, such that hydraulic pressure over a predetermined level received via the auxiliary supply inlet 130 causes each of the first and second switching
- valves 120, 124 to switch from the first state to the second state.
- the first and second switching valves 120, 124 are pressure-sense, spring- return valves.
- the hydraulic circuit 100 further includes an auxiliary port 132 connected to the supply line 102 downstream of the pressure regulating valve 108 to allow for load sense equipment to be connected or to allow for override of the hydraulic circuit 100.
- a pressure gauge 134 is also provided in the supply line 102 to monitor hydraulic pressure at the inlet to the pump 210.
- a second vehicle with a powered second hydraulic system such as the ancillary vehicle described in the method depicted in Fig. 1, can be used to power the hydraulic circuit 100 on the first vehicle.
- Hoses are used to connect the second hydraulic system of the second vehicle to the hydraulic circuit 100 of the first vehicle. Specifically, the hydraulic pressure line from the second vehicle is connected to the auxiliary supply inlet 130, the fluid return system of the second vehicle is connected to the auxiliary return outlet 122, and the fluid drain system of the second vehicle is connected to the auxiliary drain outlet 126.
- Hydraulic pressure flows from the auxiliary supply inlet 130, through the second check valve 114, the first flow control valve 106, and the pressure regulating valve 108, to the pump 210.
- the first check valve 202 prevents hydraulic fluid from the auxiliary supply inlet 130 from entering the first hydraulic system.
- the hydraulic fluid After powering the pump 210, the hydraulic fluid returns from the pump 210, through the first switching valve 120 and the auxiliary return outlet 122, to the second hydraulic system of the second vehicle.
- the case drain line 112 delivers drained fluid from the motor 210, through the second switching valve 124 and the auxiliary drain outlet 126, to the second hydraulic system of the second vehicle.
- a hydraulic pressure line can be connected to the auxiliary port 132 which will supply hydraulic pressure directly to the motor 210.
- the hydraulic circuit 100 allows an ancillary vehicle, such as an LHD loader, to be quickly and easily connected to the shuttle car 18 to power the motor 210 of the cable reel 26. This allows the motor 210 of the cable reel 26 to be powered even when the shuttle car 18 has been disconnected from the power distribution control box 22.
- the hydraulic circuit 100 via the first and second switching valves 120, 124 automatically isolates the first hydraulic system 200 of the first vehicle when hydraulic pressure from the second hydraulic system is connected to the hydraulic circuit 100, thereby preventing hydraulic fluid from the second hydraulic system from entering the first hydraulic system 200 and maintaining a closed and isolated hydraulic circuit.
- the second hydraulic system is disconnected from the hydraulic circuit 100 and due to the reduction of pressure from the auxiliary supply inlet 130, the resiliently biased first and second switching valves 120, 124 are each automatically biased to return to the first state, resulting in the motor 210 being operable by the first hydraulic system 200 once again.
