Abstract
A mining system includes: a first tunnel that reaches a dump site and includes a first road surface; a second tunnel that crosses the first tunnel, reaches a mining site, and includes a second road surface positioned above the first road surface; a frame that includes a lower surface provided above the first road surface of the first tunnel and forming a transport passage between the first road surface and the lower surface and an upper surface forming a work road surface, on which a loading machine operates, together with the second road surface; and a moving vehicle that is capable of traveling on the first road surface and is capable of passing through the transport passage.
Claims14
A mining system comprising:
- a first tunnel that reaches a dump site and includes a first road surface;
- a second tunnel that crosses the first tunnel, reaches a mining site, and includes a second road surface positioned above the first road surface;
- a frame, provided on side supports in an area that is a part of the first tunnel and includes a portion connected to the second tunnel, that is provided above the first road surface of the first tunnel and that includes a lower surface forming a transport passage between the first road surface and the lower surface and an upper surface forming a work road surface, on which a loading machine operates, together with the second road surface;
- and
- a first type of moving vehicle that is capable of traveling on the first road surface and is capable of passing through the transport passage,
- wherein a frame transport vehicle that lifts and is capable of transporting the frame is provided as the first type of moving vehicle.
A mining system comprising:
- a first tunnel that reaches a dump site and includes a first road surface;
- a second tunnel that crosses the first tunnel, reaches a mining site, and includes a second road surface positioned above the first road surface;
- a frame, which is in a movable state and provided on side supports in an area that is a part of the first tunnel and includes a portion connected to the second tunnel, that is provided above the first road surface of the first tunnel and that includes a lower surface forming a transport passage between the first road surface and the lower surface and an upper surface forming a work road surface, on which a loading machine operates, together with the second road surface;
- and
- a moving vehicle that is capable of traveling on the first road surface and is capable of passing through the transport passage,
- wherein a frame towing vehicle that is capable of towing the frame, which is in a movable state, is provided as the moving vehicle.
A mining system comprising:
- a first tunnel that reaches a dump site and includes a first road surface;
- a second tunnel that crosses the first tunnel, reaches a mining site, and includes a second road surface positioned above the first road surface;
- a frame, provided on side supports in an area that is a part of the first tunnel and includes a portion connected to the second tunnel, that is provided above the first road surface of the first tunnel and that includes a lower surface forming a transport passage between the first road surface and the lower surface and an upper surface forming a work road surface, on which a loading machine is located and operates, together with the second road surface;
- the loading machine that has a bucket and that is capable of being self-travelling on the second road surface and the work road surface, that is capable of mining an ore at the mining site, and that is capable of moving into a loading position with mined ore in the bucket, and
- a first type of moving vehicle that is capable of traveling on the first road surface and is capable of passing through the transport passage,
- wherein a frame transport vehicle that lifts and is capable of transporting the frame is provided as the first type of moving vehicle, and
- whereby the frame transport vehicle is capable of transporting both the frame and the loading machine located on the frame to a new mining site.
