Abstract:Traditional underground 20t shuttle mining cars are driven by electricity, and during operation, cables need to be continuously collected and discharged. There are also problems such as slow transportation speed, inability to transport over long distances, and inconvenience in transferring. If it is simply changed to engine driven, an engine with a power output of over 150kW is required to meet the power demand. However, the external dimensions of an engine with a power output of over 150kW are too large to be arranged in the middle position of the entire shuttle mining vehicle without changing the existing structure. This paper demonstrates the technical solution to solve this problem by using an engine with a power output of 150kW or above and a hydrostatic transmission system.
