Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A handling device such as a coal cutting tool in which a carriage is mounted on overhead rails for movement therealong and supports a depending articulated arm arrangement to which can be secured a tool such as an impact hammer. Means is provided for moving the articulated arm and hammer transversely, forwardly, upwardly and downwardly.
  • This invention relates to handling devices especially but not exclusively for use underground such, for example, as in coal mines.
  • a handling device comprising a carriage adapted to be suspended from and progressed along rail means and mounting articulated arm means to which can be attached a tool or other article to be handled or manipulated.
  • the carriage comprises two relatively movable parts interconnected by fluid ram means with at least one of the parts having means for locking it relative to the rail means, the arrangement being such that the device is progressed along the rail means by locking said part to the rail means, extendingthe fluid ram means to advance said other part relative to the locked part, releasing the locking means, and retracting the fluid ram means which causes the previously locked part to be pulled towards the advanced part.
  • the device can be progressed along the rail means by a walking action.
  • both parts are provided with locking means so that either carriage part is lockable to the rails then the carriage by appropraite locking and action of the interconnecting fluid rams can be advanced or retreated along the rail means.
  • a support arrangement for location underground and along which a carriage can be progressed, the support arrangement comprising a plurality of colliery arches or equivalent supports with a rail bridging adjacent arches, the rail being secured to each arch by a support bracket assembly of pivotal construction such that the rail can pivot transversely of the arch and oscillate relative thereto.
  • longitudinally aligned rails are slightly spaced apart at their adjacent ends and are connected to the support bracket assembly by flat plates or links.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevation of a handling device according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a corresponding rear elevation
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the carriage construction
  • FIG. 4 is a fragmentary transverse sectional view of the carriage
  • FIG. 5 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view of the carriage
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 are respectively side and front elevations of the rail support arrangements.
  • the rails 22 may be supported on the arches 21 in any convenient manner but a preferred support arrangement is illustrated particularly in FIGS. 6 and 7.
  • the rails 22 can pivot bodily transversely of the arches 21 and also take up different heights relative to the ground due to the oscillatory character of the flat plates or links 29. This means that the rails 22 will follow any ground settlement which occurs.
  • the rails 22 can be of any convenient cross-sectional shape, for example I-section (as shown) and can be of integral or fabricated construction.
  • a similar hydraulic lock or brake is provided at each side of the leading end of the front carriage part 35 for gripping, when actuated, the corresponding rail 22.
  • Bracket arms 45 depend from the front carriage part 35 and mount a shaft 46 oscillatable via a rack-andthe arm 51 while a second hydraulic ram 54 interconnects the arm 51 and the adjacent end of the arm 52.
  • the arm 52 detachably carries a cradle 55 which slidably mounts the hammer 20.
  • a third hydraulic ram 56 interconnects the arm 52 and the cradle 55.
  • a hydraulic ram 57' interconnects the cradle 55 and hammer and serves to slide the latter relative to the cradle 55.
  • the ram 56 interconnects the arm 52 and a link extending from the arm 52 adjacent its tool engaging end. This link is pivotally connected to the hammer by a strut which can be replaced by struts of different lengths, or be length adjustable, to suit different hammers.
  • the hammer 20 can thus, relative to the carriage 35, 37 be oscillated transversely, projected forwardly, moved rearwardly and disposed in any attitude between substantially vertical and substantially horizontal. Moreover, the hammer 20 can be advanced and withdrawn relative to the cradle.
  • the carriage part 37 is hydraulically locked to the rails 22, the carriage rams 41 are extended which advances the carriage part along the rails 22 relative to the carriage part 37, the hydraulic locks 43 are released, and the carriage rams 39 are retracted thus pulling the carriage part 37 along after the carriage 35.
  • both carriage parts 35 and 37 are provided with hydraulic locks or clamps then it will be manifest that either carriage part can be locked to the rails 22 so that Lil the carriage by appropriate locking and actuation of 40 the rams 41 can be advanced or retracted along the rails 22.
  • the carriage is locked in position on the rails 22 by the hydraulic locks 43 when the hammer 20 is in operatron.
  • a control valve bank 58 for controlling the device and hammer 20 is carried by the rear carriage part 37 from a depending arm 59 rearwardly inclined relative to the carriage and being pivotal about a vertical axis so that the controls can be located at any convenient location of a semi-circular arc rearwardly of the carriage and hammer 20.
  • valves 63 control the cylinder 53, the swing cylinders 49, the cradle cylinder 47, the travel cylinders 39, the lock or clamp cylinders 43, the cylinder 54 and the cylinder56. Appropriate relief valving is provided.
  • the pumps 60 are in communication with an oil reservoir 65.
  • the hammer 20 has ,a water spray 66 associated with it, the spray feed pipe 67 incorporating a shut-off valve 68.
  • Convenient lighting 69 for illumination purposes is provided at the front of the carriage.
  • a mining machine comprising:
  • a carriage assembly constituted by a front carriage part and a rear carriage part
  • hydraulic ram means interconnecting the carriage parts for effecting relative rectilinear movement therebetween
  • releasable hydraulically-operated clamping means adjacent the trailing end of the rear carriage part for locking the latter to the rails, means for selectively operating the hydraulic ram means and the releasable hydraulically-operated clamping means to effect movement of the carriage along the rails,
  • adjustable articulated arm means suspended from the shaft for carrying and presenting a tool to earth strata to be mined.
  • each carriage part is a box section with the hydraulic ram means protectively housed in the front carriage part.
  • a mining machine as claimed in claim 1 in which the oscillatable shaft mounts a pinion in mesh with a rack reciprocable by two hydraulic rams, one at each side, to oscillate the shaft.
  • a mining machine as claimed in claim 1 in which the articulated arm means comprises a first arm pivotally connected to a bracket on the oscillatable shaft and pivotally connected to a second arm intermediate the ends thereof, a first hydraulic ram interconnecting the braket and first arm, and a second hydraulic ram interconnecting the first arm and the adjacent end of the second arm.
  • a mining machine as claimed in claim 4 in which the second arm pivotally mounts a cradle and a third hydraulic ram interconnects the cradle and the second arm at a location remote from the pivotal connection therebetween.
  • a mining machine as claimed in claim 5 in which the cradle slidably mounts an impact hammer movable relative to the cradle under the action of a fourth hydraulic ram connected between the cradle and the hammer.
  • a mining machine as claimed in claim 6 further comprising an arm depending from and movable with the carriage assembly, and a control unit mounted on the arm for operating the hydraulic rams and hydraulically-operated clamping means.
  • a mining machine as claimed in claim 7 in which the depending arm is rearwardly inclined relative to the carriage assembly and is pivotable about a vertical axis.
  • a mining machine as claimed in claim 1 in which the rails comprise a pair of parallel rails secured to a plurality of colliery arches, each rail being constituted by a number of sections each bridging adjacent arches with each rail secured to each arch by a support breacket assembly of pivotal construction such that each rail can pivot transversely of the arch and oscillate 11.
  • a mining machine as claimed in claim 9 in which relative thereto. longitudinally aligned rails are slightly spaced apart at 10.
  • a mining machine as claimed in claim 9 in which their adjacent ends and are connected to the support each pair of parallel rail sections are interconnected by bracket assembly by a fiat plate. a transverse spacer. 5
