Abstract
A mine management system includes a carrying machine that is loaded with ore and travels from a mining area to an earth removal area in underground of a mine, a loading machine that mines ore in the mining area and loads the ore onto the carrying machine, and a management device that sets a work mode in the underground based on an input signal, and changes a work parameter of the carrying machine and a work parameter of the loading machine.
Claims5
A mine management system comprising:
- a carrying machine configured to be loaded with ore and travel from a mining area located in an underground area of a mine to an earth removal area;
- a loading machine configured to mine the ore in the mining area and load the ore onto the carrying machine;
- and
- a management device configured to
- store a plurality of work modes of the underground area, each work mode corresponding to valuing a different index,
- select one work mode from the plurality of work modes based on an input signal generated by an operation of an input device, and
- change a work parameter of the carrying machine and a work parameter of the loading machine based on the selected work mode,
- wherein
- in a case where an input operation for setting the work parameter is performed when the loading machine is performing a loading work of the ore, the management device is configured to
- change the work parameter of the carrying machine without changing the work parameter of the loading machine, and
- change the work parameter of the loading machine after the loading work is completed.
