Device For Reducing The Likelihood Of Damage To A Trailing Cable

View page
US Patent:
20110184597, Jul 28, 2011
Filed:
Jan 22, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/692145
Inventors:
Terry M. Thomas - Franklin PA, US
Douglas F. Anderson - Cochranton PA, US
Darin M. Sutton - Guys Mills PA, US
David K. Herdle - Franklin PA, US
Phillip E. Smith - Johannesburg, ZA
Assignee:
Joy MM Delaware, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
B60L 3/00
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
701 22, 191 122 A
Abstract:
A device for reducing damage to an electric vehicle powered by a trailing cable, the device including an electric sensor for determining the mobile equipment's position relative to a hazard, and an electric controller responsive to the electrical means for operating a motor to change the operation of the electric vehicle to reduce the likelihood of adverse effects to the trailing cable if the electric vehicle's position is near the hazard.

Imaging-Based Proximity Detection Systems For Mining Machines

View page
US Patent:
20120253583, Oct 4, 2012
Filed:
Apr 1, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/078650
Inventors:
David Kevin Herdle - Franklin PA, US
International Classification:
G05B 9/00
G05D 1/02
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
701 28
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable medium for controlling a mining machine. One system includes an image sensor for capturing an image of an area adjacent to the mining machine and a proximity sensing and control system. The proximity sensing and control system obtains the image; identifies an object in the image, the object including at least one of a person and piece of equipment; calculates a distance between the identified object and at least one of the image sensor and the mining machine using at least one image processing algorithm; and automatically controls the mining machine based on the distance.

Imaging-Based Interface Sensor And Control Device For Mining Machines

US Patent:
20120253584, Oct 4, 2012
Filed:
Apr 1, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/078660
Inventors:
David Kevin Herdle - Franklin PA, US
International Classification:
G05D 1/02
E21C 41/00
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
701 28
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable medium containing instructions for controlling mining machines. One system includes an image sensor for capturing an image of a cutting face of a mine and interface sensing and control system for obtaining the image, identifying an anomaly in the image, calculating a distance between the anomaly and a reference, and using the distance to automatically instruct a mining machine control system to keep a cutter head of the mining machine within a seam.

Continuous-Extraction Mining System

View page
US Patent:
20130119745, May 16, 2013
Filed:
Jan 11, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/739368
Inventors:
David Kevin Herdle - Franklin PA, US
Tyler Good - Pleasantville PA, US
Assignee:
JOY MM DELAWARE, INC. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
E21F 13/00
E21F 13/06
E21F 13/02
US Classification:
299 18, 299 64, 2411015
Abstract:
A material extraction system is provided for an underground mine. The mine includes a roadway entry and a draw-bell entry intersecting the roadway entry and affording access to a draw-bell. The system generally includes a loader movable from the roadway entry into the draw-bell entry for removing material from the draw-bell, a sizer coupled to the loader for sizing the removed material, a material collector operable to collect the sized material, and a shuttle car operable to receive the collected material from the material collector. The material collector has a loading end and a discharge end, and material transport device extending therebetween. The shuttle car is movable along the roadway entry for transferring the collected material so as to facilitate a substantially continuous extraction of the material.

US Patent:
20130214585, Aug 22, 2013
Filed:
Mar 25, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/850094
Inventors:
David Kevin Herdle - Franklin PA, US
Tyler Good - Pleasantville PA, US
International Classification:
E21F 13/00
E21F 13/06
E21F 13/02
US Classification:
299 18, 299 67, 2411015
Abstract:
A material extraction system is provided for an underground mine. The mine includes a roadway entry and a draw-bell entry intersecting the roadway entry and affording access to a draw-bell. The system generally includes a loader movable from the roadway entry into the draw-bell entry for removing material from the draw-bell, a sizer coupled to the loader for sizing the removed material, and a material collector operable to collect the sized material. The material collector places the sized material at a substantially elevated position relative to a mine floor. A shuttle car is operable to receive the collected material from the material collector. The shuttle car is movable along the roadway entry for transferring the collected material so as to facilitate a substantially continuous extraction of the material.

Vision-Based Motion Sensor For Mining Machine Control

View page
US Patent:
62963171, Oct 2, 2001
Filed:
Oct 29, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/430102
Inventors:
Mark Ollis - Pittsburgh PA
Christopher C. Fromme - Pittsburgh PA
Timothy Ennis Hegadorn - Pittsburgh PA
Alonzo James Kelly - Sewickley PA
John Bares - Wexford PA
Herman Herman - Pittsburgh PA
Anthony J. Stentz - Pittsburgh PA
Richard McCargo Moore - Pittsburgh PA
David K. Herdle - Cranberry Township PA
Frank Higgins - Cranberry Township PA
Bryan G. Campbell - Cranberry Township. PA
Assignee:
Carnegie Mellon University - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
E21C 3508
US Classification:
299 14
Abstract:
A mining machine having a position sensing and control apparatus is claimed. The mining machine has a vehicle body having forward and rearward ends and movable along a mine floor. A cutter head is mounted on the forward end of the mining machine for upward and downward movement relative to the vehicle body. A conveyor mounted on the vehicle body conveys material cut by the cutter head. The position sensing and control apparatus has at least one light source and at least one imaging device mounted on the machine. The position sensing and control apparatus captures images of natural features of an interior surface of a mine, digitizes the images and determines the distance between the imaging device and the natural feature to determine positional change of the machine.
