Abstract
This article presents the results of scientific research carried out by the authors in the field of transportation technology in industrial transport. The application of a gravity coal intake device designed to lower coal from the upper horizon to the averaging warehouse of the lower horizon of a coal mine is considered. The velocities of the uniform movement of the load along the gravitational angle are determined depending on the angle of inclination. The numerical integration algorithm is implemented in the software environment of the Scilab application program. The results of calculating the speed of movement from the current value of the descent depth, for the required descent depth of 40 meters and for placement options in various sections of the section at the angles of inclination of the acceleration sections of 30, 40 and 45 degrees are presented. The main geometric parameters of the gravitational coal intake device for a coal mine are determined from the condition of limiting the speeds of coal movement. The design of the gravitational coal intake must be performed based on the condition at the beginning of accelerated movement, then movement at a steady speed and then slow motion to the required speed of coal exit from the coal intake at the required speed of 2 m/sec. The presented research results allowed us to determine the main parameters of the gravitational device (coal intake) proposed for use in the cyclic flow scheme of the «Molodezhny» coal mine of «Kazakhmys Corporation» LLP. Keywords: coal mine, cyclic flow technology, coal transportation, gravity device, coal intake.
