Demolition Robot for Underground Multi-Purpose Mining Applications Demolition Robot for Underground Multi-Purpose Mining Applications In thin vein mining, compact and remotely controlled demolition robots have huge application potential. 80% of casualties in underground mines occur at the working face. Therefore, allowing workers to remotely control rock drilling, blasting, anchor rod installation and large block crushing can ensure the safety of these workers' lives. The demolition robot provides effective solutions for various underground mining applications with its compact structure, bionic three-section arm structure, non-blind spot operation, remote control operation and other excellent multi-functional designs. The demolition robot equipment uses heavy tracks and legs, which can work on the most uneven terrain. The working arm consists of three parts, providing an unprecedented range of motion, allowing rock drilling, prying, rock crushing and installation of anchor rods in any direction. In addition, the equipment uses a hydraulic system and does not require compressed air, which can maximize the reduction of facilities required at the working face. Electric drive ensures zero carbon emissions from these robots during operation. The same demolition robot can perform multiple tasks such as stripping, rock drilling, prying, mine tunnel maintenance, drilling, etc. It can not only improve the production efficiency of mines, but also improve the safety and sustainability of mining operations. Application 1: Crushing Large Blocks One demolition robot can be placed on a fixed grid or in a blast chamber to crush large blocks without the use of explosives or any unnecessary material handling. We now provide specifications ranging from 0.7 tons to 12 tons. The power-to-weight ratio of each specification is 2 to 3 times that of conventional excavators. Application 2: Ultra-deep Thin Vein Mining Deep vein mining requires equipment with high maneuverability and durability. Although robots can now be selected for large-scale mixed mining, these equipment are not suitable for ultra-deep thin veins. The demolition robot has other advantages such as high safety and high productivity of remote operation, high flexibility, high precision, etc. Some gold mines have achieved the above purpose by increasing the demolition robot in their deep vein mining. The demolition robot stitches its excellent power-to-weight ratio, which is usually equivalent to machines twice as large as existing equipment, and its efficiency is far greater than the most advanced pneumatic leg drill. It can withstand the high temperature and high pressure conditions of ultra-deep mining. According to statistics from a mine using demolition robots in deep mining, compared with traditional manual methods, using demolition robots can reduce labor costs by 60% for mines to advance one meter deep. Application 3: Mine Tunnel Maintenance Remotely controlled demolition robots can more efficiently perform two other tasks: repair and maintenance of mine tunnels. In recent years, mining methods have changed. Many mines are re-mining old veins with more advanced equipment to supplement ore production. However, abandoned mines are in a state of disrepair. There are large rocks, collapsed support systems and falling pipelines in the mines, making the mine clearing process slow and dangerous. In addition, as mining technology advances, mines require stricter safety standards. Therefore, a lot of work may be required to meet modern regulatory requirements when repairing old mines. In these cases, the versatile demolition robot can minimize equipment and personnel requirements and very efficiently complete mine repairs. For example, during initial repairs or refurbishments, the robot can use a rock breaker to remove loose rocks. During mine clearing, the robot breaks large blocks in a non-explosive manner to improve efficiency. Therefore, the mine does not need to stop operations and evacuate personnel for large block blasting. Then, the operator can switch the robot's tools to remove support components and pipelines using shearing tools or multi-blade attachments, and drag away pipelines or discarded support beams. After installing a grab bucket on the robot, it can transport materials and carry out mucking. Drilling components can be used for large block blasting as well as installing support systems and suspension devices. The grab bucket can be used to install support rebars, safety nets or wire nets, as well as install new auxiliary facilities such as tracks, pipes or cables. Finally, the robot can also use shotcrete attachments purchased from leading manufacturers. Mines using demolition robots to repair abandoned mines can double the monthly depth increase and reduce labor requirements by 44%. The multi-functional design features of the demolition robot provide solutions such as mechanization and safe maintenance for mining. It can not only improve the productivity of mines, but also improve the safety and sustainability of mines. HCR70D HCR120D HCR170D HCR200D HCR500D
