The main cluster associated with generation of rock caving in the overhang part has been identified. It is established that caving was developing gradually from the depth of the rock mass towards the surface. The results are presented of estimating the quantitative parameters of the seismic process in the undermined rock stratum, i.e. the energy index and the cumulative apparent volume, which reflect the stress changes in the rock mass. Ranges of the stable state of the rock mass, when the overhang rocks do not cave, as well as the ranges of active fracturing and caving of the overhang rocks have been identified. Changes in these parameters for the studied area of the deposit reflect the loading and strength degradation stages in the rock mass. The results of this study correlate well with the data on actual caving of the undermined rock strata.

Sharp fluctuations in demand and prices in the mineral markets, as well as the development of technical tools for mechanization and automation of technological processes along with a systematic increase in their cost affect the financial performance of mining companies. This determines the need for a rapid adoption of technical, technological and organizational decisions, which, along with the requirements of the company's owners and regulators to obtain prompt, reliable and the most complete information about the production process explains the urgent need for the prompt introduction of digital control systems for mining operations. In the article the authors describe an algorithm to design a digital model of the mining and geological system, including a digital geological model of the deposit, digital models of mine workings and the surface topography, based on the experience of creating three-dimensional digital models of complex-structured coal deposits. The basic software suite for designing a digital management system for mining operations is the MINEFRAME mining and geological information system developed at the Mining Institute of the Kola Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. MINEFRAME allows to perform a full range of tasks aimed at creation of a digital 3D model of the mining and geological system for a coal deposit with the possibility to account for the complex bedding in the modelling. High accuracy and correctness of the input geological sampling data is achieved by means of tools to check for errors in the tables of borehole collar coordinates, inclinometry and sampling. The wireframe modelling methods implemented in MINEFRAME provide the possibility to create wireframe models of seams with high detail in the fracture zones.","PeriodicalId":506182,"journal":{"name":"Mining Industry Journal (Gornay Promishlennost)","volume":"20 26","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141659763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most loaded are the lift and pressure drives of the shovel's working attachments, which significantly increases the risk of failure of their components. An adequate assessment of the loads acting on these drives through analyzing the changes in currents and voltages of their motors makes it possible to adjust the time between maintenance. In the course of the study, the representative points of the following three lumped working processes were obtained within the working cycle of 26.75 s: excavating; platform rotation with simultaneous movement of the shovel from the upper point of the path to the unloading point; reverse movement of the platform rotation mechanism with the returning and its positioning of the working attachment to the initial position. Changes in forces acting on the ropes of the lifting winch of the shovel were determined based on the evaluation of the obtained layout of the working attachment positions for the EKG-18R mechanical shovel and taking into account the driving and motion resistance forces within the working cycle. Analysis of the obtained force values acting on the ropes of the lifting winch at the three linear excavation paths with the inclination angles of 60, 70 and 80° has shown that the lowest forces in the lifting winch rope occur at the closest path with the angle of 60°. The received data will allow not only to select a rational path and the angle of bench mining, but also to adjust the time between maintenance according to the actual operating time of the lifting, pressure and movement drives.","PeriodicalId":506182,"journal":{"name":"Mining Industry Journal (Gornay Promishlennost)","volume":"8 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141661526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
