CA 2336200

A tunnel boring machine (1) for mining coal is disclosed. In one embodiment the machine (1) includes a substantially cylindrical body (2) having at least one operating compartment (15) and ventilation means (16) to maintain an acceptable gaseous environment within the compartment (15). A longitudinally extending conveyor compartment (17) isolated from and located beneath the operating compartment (15) has a conveyor (25) extending therein from an inlet (18) through which mined material passes onto the conveyor (25), to an outlet (19) in a rear surface of the body (2). A rotary cutter head (3) mounted on a forward surface of the body (2) has a collection area (5) to collect the mined material and direct the material towards and through the inlet (18) to the longitudinally extending conveyor compartment (17). Novel rock bolting means and rock bolting sequences are also disclosed.

Cette invention concerne une machine de forage de tunnels (1) que l'on utilise dans l'extraction du charbon. Dans un mode de réalisation, cette machine (1) comprend un corps globalement cylindrique (2) qui comprend au moins un compartiment de travail (15) ainsi qu'un système de ventilation (16) permettant de maintenir une atmosphère gazeuse acceptable dans ledit compartiment (15). Un compartiment de transport longitudinal (17), qui est isolé du compartiment de travail (15) et qui est situé en-dessous de celui-ci, comprend un transporteur (25) qui le traverse. Ce transporteur s'étend d'une entrée (18), à travers laquelle le matériau extrait est transféré sur ledit transporteur (25), jusqu'à une sortie (19) située dans la surface arrière du corps (2). Une tête de coupe rotative (3) montée sur la surface avant du corps (2) comprend une zone de récupération (5) qui permet de récupérer le matériau extrait et de le diriger vers et à travers l'entrée (18) jusque dans le compartiment de transport longitudinal (17). Cette invention concerne également de nouveaux systèmes de boulonnage de toit, ainsi que de nouvelles séquences de boulonnage de toit.
