Current-carrying capacity of mining flexible cables at intermittent and short-time duty

Abstract: The basis for a selection of conductors’ cross section of mining power cables is the continuous current carrying capacity, resulting from continuous running duty of motors. Polish Standard for rated parameters of motors determines, besides the continuous running, other types of load that can be described numerically, graphically or by selecting one of the predefined types S1 to S10. In case of intermittent, short-time or variable load, the selection of the cable cross-section based on the continuous carrying capacity may lead to unjustified overestimation of cross section or excessive temperature rise of the cable insulation. The methodology for determining the intermittent or short-time current carrying capacity has been described in the article. Results of current carrying capacity calculations for intermittent load and of the time of cooling to an ambient temperature have been presented.

Computer simulation of dynamic loads in the selected constructional nodes of a boom–type roadheader body when carrying out the mining process

Abstract: Boom–type roadheaders represent the fundamental group of working machines used in underground hard coal mining for drilling of dog headings. The cutting process, especially of rocks with low workability, is causing strong dynamic loads likely to lead to low effectiveness of a roadheader‘s work and to the failure of its key subassemblies due to significant loads exerted on them. The identification of dynamic states of a roadheader body when carrying out the mining process – a machine treated as a complex dynamic object – is therefore of fundamental importance in the context of designing such machines and for optimising the parameters of working processes performed by them. The article presents the selected results of computer simulations of R-130 roadheader body dynamics when carrying out the cutting of rocks with differentiated workability. Such situation is common in drilling dog headings in rock mass with a layered structure, where easily workable rocks (such as for instance hard coal) are accompanied by rocks difficult to work with (for example sandstones). The examples are presented of dynamic characteristics of the drive of boom deflection mechanisms which are responsible, apart from the drive of cutting heads, for performing the cutting process effectively. The sensitivity of the boom deflection mechanism drive to the cutting process implementation conditions was also established.

Stereovision methods in granulometric analysis

Abstract: Stereovision is a way of three-dimensional image acquisition based on the imitating the operation of the human visual system. The article discusses basic stereovision principles and the concept of application of this method to the granulometric analysis of the surface layer of a particulate material stream on a moving conveyor belt. Through the use of of the belt movement it is possible to design a simple stereovision system with a single high resolution camera, recording two pictures within a short time interval. There have been presented some results of preliminary tests performed on a laboratory stand. There have been also described the advantages and disadvantages of stereovision methods compared with other types of three-dimensional images acquisition methods. The main advantage is a low hardware complexity, relatively low cost and high resolution of recorded images, but the main drawback - high computational complexity for images involving a large number of particles (fine granulometric classes), associated with the need to identify the corresponding points in the sequence of two successive images.

Simulation model of a radiometric density meter

Abstract: Radiometric density meters are widely used in the industry to monitor different technological processes also in coal preparation such as: Heavy-media separation, Jigging, Flotation. Operation of the radiometric density meters is based on the method of gamma radiation absorption. The measuring head of the radiometric density meter consists of a radiation source and a detector usually in the form of a scintillation counter. The output signal from the detector is sequence of pulses which is always a stochastic signal with Poisson distribution. These pulses are often counted by a counter being a kind of a low-pass digital filter. The relation between the measured medium density and the mean intensity of registered pulses is theoretically exponential. In the paper there has been presented a simulation model of the radiometric density meter. There have been described the measurement method and given densitometer model equations. Example simulation results have also been presented in a graphic form.

Sets of machines and systems for sinking the II underground coal storage bunker in the JSW S.A. KWK “Pniówek” coal mine

Abstract: The article presents the sets of machines and systems for sinking the II underground coal storage bunker at the level of 830 m in the JSW S.A. KWK “Pniówek” coal mine and the analysis of the conditions related to the sinking of the bunker. The small distance between the first bunker and the newly built bunker, that is only 30 m, turned out to constitute a technical difficulty. This distance resulted in the withdrawal from the traditional method of driving using explosives and forced a proposal to apply a new technology of driving without the use of explosives as well as the selection of machines and devices. The innovative solutions that have been applied had to guarantee that the structure of the existing tank I would remain intact and that the space between the elements of the concrete enclosure would be completely filled. The sets of machines and devices related to the construction of the bunker have been compared depending on the selected variant of sinking technology. Based on the conducted analysis of the conditions related to the construction of the bunker and the sinking technologies, the use of machines and devices fulfilling the specified requirements has been proposed.

Determination of static characteristics of multichamber flow flotation machines

Abstract: Determining the static characteristics of the enrichment process in industrial flotation machines is a difficult problem because of the influence of many parameters on the process. It is assumed that a parameter which contains information about the factors affecting the process is the velocity coefficient k of the flotation particles. This parameter is characterized by distribution of the particles flotability f(k). The function of this type is obtained based on the course of the kinetics of the mass feed components in the batch flotation process. Determining a function f (k) is carried out indirectly by a mathematical model based on the course of flotation kinetics m(t). The determined parameters of the kinetics model are also the parameters of the model of the distribution density function of the coal particles flotability. Based on previous works has been shown that the feed heterogeneity can be well characterized by the model of the triangular distribution function f (k). Using the distribution of the particles flotability it can determine the distribution of the ash content depending on changes of the coefficient of the flotation velocity. On the basis of these dependencies can be determined the static characteristics of the flow flotation machine. The static characteristics of single and multi-chamber of the flow flotation machine in the paper have been presented. Obtained on the basis of simulation the static characteristics of the concentrate recovery and ash content in the concentrate depending on changes in the intensity of the air are similar to the characteristics determined by the authors based on the research of the industrial flotation machines. Knowledge of the characteristics of the density of the fractions distribution together with the distribution of ash content will allow a better assessment of the phenomena occurring in the enrichment process. The static characteristics of the single and multi-chamber flotation flow machines determined on the basis of these models can be used in the design of systems of the process control of the minerals flotation.

Safety underground tourism routes in ZKWK "Guido" – proposal for survey

Abstract: ZKWK "Guido" which is part of the Museum of Coal Mining in Zabrze is unique in the world. In addition to presenting the monuments of mining technology on the surface of the earth provides tourists underground roads. At present ZKWK "Guido" provides several underground tourist routes. Most are located on level 170 (the work of the miners at the turn of the century in the area of Silesia, the hazard of mines, mining traditions) and 320 (excavation maintained in a position as close as possible to the original). Level 355 (opened on 4th February 2016 years) can be visited either during the so-called "szychta" (visitors in work clothes with a guide-miner perform simple jobs mining), or as so-called "darkness of the mine" (visitors receive a personal lamp and visit the route in the dark). The aim of the article is to propose a survey on the safety of tourist routes in the mind of the visitors themselves, together with the results of pilot studies carried out in ZKWK "Guido." For this purpose, a special questionnaire (as contained in the work), which included questions concerning three main areas: general security (including the respondents were asked about the signs and lighting routes, elements that may constitute a danger to the public, the symptoms of malaise, behawior guide), events potentially dangerous (trips, falls, hitting his head and other dangerous occurrences), and the satisfaction of tourists (satisfaction with tours, attractions, sense of security, other comments on safety). Based on the developed survey was conducted a pilot study in ZKWK "Guido" among 100 randomly selected visitors to the different routes in underground mines. The test results are provided in the charts, taking into account also the gender, age and education of respondents. The survey was anonymous, and its fulfillment voluntary. The results of the pilot survey should allow for refinement of the survey, the results of which can become an indicator of the problem areas, the safety of tourist routes in the feelings of visitors, require attention from policy-makers at the Museum of Coal Mining in Zabrze.

Influence of frequency innverters on operation of induction motors in mine environment

Abstract: The paper contains analysis of cooperation between induction motors with the intermediate frequency inverters that supply them. In the mine environment, parasitic elements of the cables, parameters of the filters’ elements, and a method of control over inverter transistors have an impact on the regime of motors fed by the intermediate frequency inverters. An important feature of such a converter is that it is not a source of sinusoidal voltage. Deformation of voltage output is a result of inverter transistors being switched up multiple times with pulse – width modulation (PWM) control. Large steepness of the converter output rising voltage is related to switching of the transistors. The steepness reaches values of up to a dozen or so kV on μs. Such a large steepness of output rising voltage can cause passage of large capacitive currents. The paper discusses also the influence of the parameters of individual cables on values of the overvoltages and earth leakage currents. Various ways to limit this negative phenomena (overvoltage, the earth leakage current) are also discusses in the paper.

The influence of analog low-pass filtering in the measurement circuits on the signal parameters

Abstract: Measurements of various physical quantities are usually performed so at first instantaneous values of the measured quantity are converted into instantaneous values of the electrical voltage, and then this voltage signal is transmitted to the analog-to-digital converter through the measurement channel. However – in the measurement practice – it happens, that inadequate attention is paid to the issues of the signal filtering in measuring channels, or this filtering is performed in an improper manner. In this paper has been presented an analysis of the analog low-pass filtering impact on the useful signal parameters and noise signal parameters in the measurement channels. First, there has been analyzed an influence of this low-pass filtering using a 1st order RC filter with no load and with load at the filter output. Then there has been compared an operation of passive RC filters of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd order. Since the operational efficiency of the passive filters is often insufficient, there has been provided an example of the higher order active filters operation.

Influence of the intersegment scale on interaction of drive gear with a rack with an oval cross-section pins at the eicotrack haulage mechanism – FEM analysis

Abstract: The article presents a proposal for numerical analysis of the interaction of drive gear with a rack with an oval cross-section pins at the EICOTRACK haulage mechanism with two drive wheels (2BP) taking into account the influence of changes of the intersegment scale. The 2BP chainless haulage system was modeled in three-dimensional CAD environment by creating geometrical 3D models of the drive gear and rack pins. Due to the complicated meshing process and long FEA, resulting from the computational complexity, model of 2BP mechanism has been simplified. The aim of the FEM analysis, carried out in ANSYS Workbench, was to determine the values of intermesh force and directions of its impact during the feed for the simulated changes in pitch between the rack segments. The first part of the paper presents the EICOTRACK type chainless haulage system applied in longwall shearers, which is produced in Poland under the name 2BP. Then shown by the way of parameterization spatial 3D model of 2BP mechanism in ANSYS. It was conducted by the consecutive steps of modeling the interaction parameters relating to the drive gear with rack pins included the contact modeling, boundary conditions etc. Model discretization was made by sharing the continuum of solid model into finite elements. Forces acting on the drive gear was modeled. Tests were performed using a quasi-dynamic model by using the Finite Element Method. The results of FEM analysis are illustrated graphically in the form of characteristics a vertical component of intermesh force.
