The advantages of Side Dumping Mine Car are that they are larger in volume than dump-type mine carts and fixed mine carts, and they are automatically and smoothly unloaded. Due to the characteristics of this unloading method, the curved track unloading space is small, generally only 5.2 meters long, and the unloading angle is still It can reach 55 degrees, which effectively saves the development space of the shaft and reduces the size of the chamber. The unloading distance is short, and the excavation volume of the coal bunker and the yard is only one third of that of other mining vehicles; because the unloading curved track is symmetrical, the side-dumping mining vehicle can be unloaded in both directions.
The Side Dumping Mine Car is driven by a tractor and a drawworks, and can be combined with a rock drill, a slag raking machine and an ore slip gate discharge system for loading. The ore size does not exceed 500 mm. The loading is based on the load capacity of the mining car. After the material is drawn, it is led to a special curved rail unloading mechanism (operating speed does not exceed 1m/s) by traction power. When the car box is turned to the level to form a discharge angle, the car door is also opened to a greater extent. At this time, the unloading of the mine truck has been completed. When returning, the minecart passes the curved track door and automatically closes in place.
