Abstract
An arrangement and method of utilizing rock drilling information in a mine whereby drill holes are drilled in a surrounding rock material by a first mining vehicle. During drilling measuring data is produced and is inputted to a monitoring device for analyzing procedures. The monitoring device produces rock condition data of the rock material being drilled. The produced rock condition data is then implemented in a second mining vehicle.
Claims16
An arrangement for utilizing rock drilling information, wherein the arrangement comprises:
- at least one first mining vehicle having at least one rock drilling machine for drilling drill holes in a surrounding rock material;
- at least one measuring device disposed in the first mining vehicle arranged to produce measuring data of the rock drilling;
- at least one monitoring device for monitoring the rock drilling based on measuring data received from the at least one measuring device, the at least one monitoring device being located in the first mining vehicle and including at least one data processing device for analyzing the received measuring data of the rock drilling, the at least one monitoring device in the first mining vehicle being configured to produce, in real-time, at least one rock condition data of the rock material being affected by the rock drilling;
- and
- at least one data transfer connection for transmitting the produced rock condition data from the monitoring device in the first mining vehicle to at least one control unit of at least one second mining vehicle, wherein the rock condition data produced at the first mining vehicle is configured to influence operation of the at least one second mining vehicle.
