Abstract
A mine excavator especially for heavy coal beds comprises a base on which the power loader and conveyor are provided and on which the roof support or shield is pivotally mounted. According to the invention, a back member connected to the roof plate and spaced above the base has a downwardly and forwardly swingable door which deposits caved material onto the conveyor at a forward portion of the main base.
Claims6
A mining apparatus especially for the excavation of a heavy bed at least in part by the caving of a portion of the roof thereof, said apparatus comprising:
- a main base displaceable along a mining gallery in the direction of a mining face;
- a conveyor mounted on said main base for receiving mineral matter excavated from said face;
- a roof plate overhanging a forward portion of said main base and adapted to support the roof of said gallery immediately behind the face during excavation thereof;
- a rear base mounted on a rear portion of said main base and extending upwardly therefrom;
- a back member pivotally connected to said rear base for tilting movement relative thereto, said back member being connected to said roof plate and overhanging said main base, thereby shielding a portion of said main base from material falling from the roof of said gallery, said back member having a portion forming a door framed by another portion of the back member and tiltable downwardly to form a chute directing caved material from said roof onto said conveyor;
- and
- means for pivotally displacing said door relative to the said other portion of said back member to form said chute.
