1.  The Invention

 

Title “Manner of roof support in coal mine heading especially in longwalls with cavings”


 Unlike other solutions, the discussed manner of roof support in headings, especially in longwalls with cavings, which is the scope of the invention enables the maintenance of the roof even at high haulage speed of the shearer loader in underground headings, securing the continuity of cutting operations, and, consequently, high efficiency of the shearer loader. Programmed automatic control of the technological process at proper set-up of the powered roof support enables a full automation of the process in the longwall, and, at the same time, unmanned coal extraction, as well as safe and efficient extraction of thin seams.
