The present invention relates to an automated continuous haulage apparatus and method designed for use in underground environments. Each mobile bridge carrier (10) contains distance measurement (70) and angular position (74) means for determining the mobile bridge carrier's (10) position and the angular position of attached piggyback conveyors (30). Means for determining the ceiling height (76) are utilized to adjust the height of the piggyback conveyors (30). On each mobile bridge carrier (10), input from the various sensors is received by an electronic controller (80) that calculates the position and orientation of the bridge carrier (10) and attached piggyback conveyors (30). The controller then plans an optimal path of movement for the bridge carrier (10) and computes the rate of movement for each independently operated track assembly on the bridge carrier such that the bridge carrier (10) and piggyback conveyors (30) arrive as close as possible to the planned path.

La présente invention concerne un appareil de roulage continu automatisé et un procédé conçus pour être utilisés dans des environnements souterrains. Chaque transporteur à pont roulant mobile (10) comprend un dispositif de mesure des distances (70) et des positions angulaires (74) destinés à déterminer la position du transporteur à pont roulant mobile (10) et la position angulaire de convoyeurs mobiles de raccordement (30) attachés au transporteur. Ce procédé utilise également un dispositif permettant de déterminer la hauteur du plafond (76) pour ajuster la hauteur des convoyeurs mobiles de raccordement (30). Sur chaque transporteur à pont roulant mobile (10), les signaux provenant des différents capteurs sont reçus par un contrôleur électronique (80) destiné à calculer la position et l'orientation du transporteur à pont roulant mobile (10) et des convoyeurs mobiles de raccordement (30). Le contrôleur permet alors de définir un circuit optimal pour le déplacement du transporteur à pont roulant mobile (10) et de calculer la vitesse de déplacement de chaque ensemble de voie commandé indépendamment sur le transporteur à pont roulant mobile (10), de façon que ce dernier et les convoyeurs mobiles de raccordement (30) arrivent aussi près que possible du circuit prévu.
