Slide shoe for mining winning machine
View Patent ↗A slide shoe for a mining winning machine is disclosed. The slide shoe includes a slide shoe body attached to the mining winning machine, a sliding area located on the slide shoe body and including a wear thickness, and at least one sensor. The sensor is scannable by wireless signal transmission. A dimension of the wear thickness decreases due to wear during operation, and a sensor signal of the sensor changes when the dimension of the wear thickness of the sliding area decreases below a predetermined minimum thickness.
1. A slide shoe for a mining winning machine, comprising:
an exchangeable slide shoe body attached to the mining winning machine;
a sliding area located on the slide shoe body, the sliding area including a wear thickness; and
at least one sensor, the at least one sensor being scannable by wireless signal transmission, wherein
a dimension of the wear thickness decreases due to wear during operation; and
a sensor signal of the sensor changes when the dimension of the wear thickness of the sliding area decreases below a predetermined minimum thickness.
2. The slide shoe of claim 1 , wherein
the sensor includes a destruction sensor; and
the sensor is destroyed when the dimension of the wear thickness falls below the minimum thickness.
3. The slide shoe of claim 1 , further comprising sensor electronics associated with the at least one sensor, wherein
the sensor electronics scan the at least one sensor at predetermined time intervals.
4. The slide shoe of claim 3 , wherein
the sensor electronics include at least a battery.
5. The slide shoe according to claim 3 , wherein
the sensor electronics include at least a processor, an antenna, or a combination thereof integrated in the sensor electronics.
6. The slide shoe of claim 3 , further comprising at least one of a cutout or a receptacle located in the slide shoe body, wherein
the sensor electronics are located a predetermined distance from the at least one sensor and in the cutout or the receptacle.
7. The slide shoe of claim 3 , wherein
at least one of the at least one sensor or the sensor electronics is located in at least one of a recess, a cutout, or a hole extending in a section of the slide shoe body located at a back of the sliding area.
8. The slide shoe of claim 3 , wherein
the sensor electronics are activated and deactivated wirelessly.
9. The slide shoe of claim 3 , wherein
at least one of the at least one sensor, the sensor electronics, or a combination thereof are encapsulated in a casting compound.
