Substantiation and development of innovative container technology for rock mass lifting from deep open pits

Abstract

Purpose. The research purpose is to substantiate the rational parameters of innovative container technology for transporting mine rocks in open pits with account of technological advantages. Methods. The winding machine normal operation was determined by calculation performed. The container metal structure was designed in the environment of the Compass-3D software complex. The structural elements were tested for normal operation using computer modeling methods in the APM WinMachine 9.7 program, which gives the possibility to obtain the strength calculation values. Findings. The results of modeling the stresses on the wall of the container and the frame, as well as the yield strength are presented. The test calculation confirms the technical feasibility for operating the dragline-based mine winding machines. The influence of the container capacity on the performance of the winding machine has been determined and the dependence of the economic efficiency of the container technology introduction at the open pit depth has been revealed. Originality. For the first time, on the basis of computer modeling, the parameters of stress distribution on the container wall have been substantiated when performing a strength calculation. It has been determined that the maximum stress in the container wall is 117.52 N/mm2; the principal stress value is 83.85 N/mm2. The safety factor for yield strength is 1.8. The maximum load acting on the structure is 957.5 kgf, which does not exceed the calculated value. Practical implications. The practical importance is to improve mining efficiency, reduce the cost of transporting rocks and ensure automatic container unloading. The use of replaceable containers in open pits can significantly change the formation principles of shovels and transport complexes, increase their performance and the efficiency of shovels in the main processes.

Establishing the influence of the quarry depth on the indicators of cyclic flow technology during the development of non-ore deposits

“…Expressions (1)(2)(3)(4)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13) are used when calculating the parameters of the technological scheme with a mobile crushing and sorting plant.…”

“…This model allows determining the optimal location and time of moving the mobile crusher. However, the research does not pay enough attention to the processes that include additional mining and quarry building works for the construction of a steep trench for the location of the conveyor [12].…”

Ensuring a safe geomechanical state of the rock mass surrounding the mine workings in the Karaganda coal basin, Kazakhstan

“…In order to make sound technological decisions on determining the support parameters for its effective operation, it is necessary to assess the deformed state of the host rock mass surrounding the mine workings [36]- [38]. The development and implementation of technology and costs, taking into account the stress-strain state of the host rocks, will reduce material and labor costs, as well as optimize the fastening parameters for the mine workings [39], [40].…”

Increasing the efficiency of using backline and private railway infrastructure in the conditions of the transportation market

“…The develop ment of railway infrastructure [12,13], the acquisition of trac tion rolling stock for industrial enterprises [14] and connecting stations were carried out in accordance with industry plans and, often situationally, depending on the possibility of fi nancing through one or another ministry. Under these condi tions, at individual enterprises, primarily in the mining [15] and metallurgical industries [16,17], as well as in seaports, a significant length of railway infrastructure was built. This rail network is still in operation today.…”
