Rational technology and application domain of hydraulic backhoes in open pit mines

Introduction of productive machines and robotics drastically changes the standards and technology of mining control. This is especially valid for mineral mining in hard rock masses with substantial variability of structure and strength. Application of most known methodologies for the assessment and optimization of operation conditions of truck-and-shovel systems is limited because of high subjectivity of initial data involved in managerial decision-making. This governs the need to ensure provisions to maintain rhythmicity of rock handling within an excavation work cycle. One of the methods to employ available production reserves is an open-cycle truck-and-shovel system with real-time re-distribution of tucks between shovels. However, the absence of methodologies for the objective instrumental monitoring of changes in geotechnical conditions and in rock handling rhythmicity within an excavation work cycle disables universal and efficient application of this technology. The common introduction of more mobile hydraulic backhoes into operation has both merits and drawbacks, and, therefore, requires a technical approach-based justification of rational application domain for the machines. A more complex structure of an excavation process cycle with a more complicated operation algorithm needs unification of a control technology with wider use of intelligent software and hardware. For mobile hydraulic backhoes, the article proposes a new approach to optimization of rock handling within excavation process cycles. This approach includes special intelligent systems of monitoring and control.

Keywords: excavation monitoring, open-cycle truck-and-shovel operation, backhoe, rock loading rhythmicity, excavation process cycle, dynamic zoning of neighbor face areas, intelligent software and hardware.
