Bucket excavators are widely used at the end face mining method.
There are two basic methods of cutting: horizontal slice and vertical slice. Vertical slice is widely used. The main parameters of the slice are the slice height, thickness and width.
The working surface parameters are: mining height H, mining width A, taking length L and working flat plate width B. Mining height and mining width mainly depend on the working specifications of the bucket excavator. The width of the working pan is related to the specifications of the bucket shovel as well as the type of work surface transportation. The length of the mining area is increased, and the cutting efficiency and end operation volume are reduced, which increases the bucket shovel operation efficiency, but also increases the length of the belt conveyor and the coal and rock distance.
As the belt conveyor is more expensive, in order to reduce the number of transportation times, the total mining height of a bucket shovel should be increased as much as possible. Combined step-type mining is generally achieved by reprinting equipment. [1]
