METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE POSITION OR SITUATION OF INSTALLATION COMPONENTS IN MINERAL MINING INSTALLATIONS AND MINING INSTALLATION

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining the position and/or situation of installation components of a mineral mining installation which has as installation components at least one face conveyor 2 for removing mined material, one shield-type support 13 for keeping a face 1 open, pushing devices 14 for pushing the face conveyor 2 and the shield-type support 13 in active operation, an extracting machine 9 which can be moved along the face conveyor 2, and a drift conveyor 16, the position and situation of at least one installation component being de not termined by means of a measuring system 20 comprising a detection unit with measurement sensor. According to the invention, the detection unit 22, decoupled from the movement of the extracting machine 9, can be or is moved to and fro between two points of the guiding system 21 along at least one installation component at the face such as, e.g. the face conveyor 2, by means of a separate guiding system 21. The invention also relates to the mining installation 10 itself.
