Abstract

The extraction machine for underground ore extraction operations, with extraction of the extraction product by blasting has an advancing support equipment ( 11 ) and a face conveyor ( 18 ) coupled to it as well as at least one boring device ( 26 ) for the production of shot holes ( 23 ) and a loading device ( 27 ) to supply the face conveyor ( 18 ) with the blast rock loosened by blasting, whereby the boring device ( 26 ) and the loading device ( 27 ) are assigned to a common boring and loading machine ( 24 ), which can be driven along the face conveyor ( 18 ) at right angles to the direction of mining in the direction towards the rock face ( 20 ) running parallel to the direction of mining, or away from this.

Claims (11)

1. An extraction system for underground ore extraction operations with extraction of the ore by blasting, with advancing support equipment and a face conveyor coupled to it and with at least one boring device for the production of holes for explosive and a loading device for loading the conveyor with the blast rock loosened by blasting, characterised in that the boring device and the loading device are assigned to a boring and loading machine, which can travel along the face conveyor at right angles to the direction of mining towards the rock face running parallel to the direction of mining or away from this, wherein the support equipment includes a support frame and the support frame has at least one goaf side gob shield.

2. An extraction system according to claim 1 , characterised in that the boring device and/or the loading device is/are demountably arranged on a common boring and loading machine.

3. An extraction system according to claim 1 , characterised in that the boring device and the loading device are individually and separately mobile boring and loading machines.

4. An extraction system according to claim 1 , characterised in that the loading device has a side loading shovel and that the boring device is connected demountably to the loading device.

5. An extraction system according to claim 1 , characterised in that at least one additional boring device above the face conveyor mobile in its longitudinal direction is provided, with a height adjustable boring carriage.

6. An extraction machine according to claim 1 , in which the support equipment is provided with pivoting explosion protection shields arranged on the roof caps of its support frames.

7. An extraction machine according to claim 1 , in which the face conveyor is provided on its goaf side with vertically adjustable explosion protection abutment plates, movable in the longitudinal direction of the face.

8. An extraction machine according to claim 1 , in which the boring and loading machine has independently driven caterpillar tracks.

9. An extraction machine according to claim 1 , in which the loading device has a loading shovel with freeing chisels.

10. An extraction machine according to claim 9 , in which the freeing chisels can be activated.

11. An extraction machine according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one goaf side gob shield has at least one closable opening and wherein the support frames of the support equipment include at least one associated roof boring device, and a goaf side roof fail conveyor.
