The purpose of the study is to increase the productivity and economic efficiency of mining operations using screening bucket excavators on the basis of the introduction of a new technical and technological solution that expands equipment functionality. The study involves the analysis of known designs of screening buckets installed on excavators that ensure material separation to be carried out simultaneously with excavation and loading works. It is noted that a promising development direction of screening buckets is a design with working drums. The article presents an excavator with a modernized screening bucket and its operation technology, which allows to start rock mass sorting in the bucket while the excavator is turning to the place of unloading. The improved screening bucket is equipped with a hinged movable bottom controlled by hydraulic cylinders to accumulate fine fractions screened through the working drums. Fine fractions accumulated in the moving bottom are unloaded into a dump truck, after which screening continues directly into the body of the dump truck. Screening finished, the movable bottom closes and the excavator unloads the coarse fractions remaining in the bucket into another vehicle. Unloading is carried out by bucket turning. The combination of screening and excavator turning reduces the operation cycle time, which increases the performance of both the excavator and dump trucks. The use of a modernized screening bucket with a moving bottom eliminates the loss of valuable fine material as a result of spilling when the excavator turns for unloading. The movable bottom can be installed on the screening buckets of known designs and does not require their significant alteration. Application of the proposed technical and technological solution will reduce unit costs and increase the efficiency of work.

The article presents the analysis results of the design of dump trucks used in road construction field. The authors point out the tendency of expanding the use of dump trucks with articulated frames in the world practice. The necessity of evaluating the possibilities of domestic manufacturers to produce the machines of this type is justified. Comparative evaluation of samples was carried out by comparing generalized indicators of the vehicle quality determined by their technical level coefficients, as well as by directly comparing a number of specific indicators of their performance properties. Information search, statistical processing of information materials, expert research and mathematical modeling were used as scientific methods for obtaining the initial data for evaluation. The comparative qualimetric assessment of the operational capabilities of dump trucks of various designs gives grounds to recognize that the use of a machine with an articulated frame for direct filling of the road embankment will be preferable to machines of frame construction. This is due to the fact that the articulated dump truck has a higher cross-country ability and maneuverability, while having a certain reserve for increasing the load capacity and the similar cargo capacity of the body with the frame truck. The evaluation results confirm the feasibility of producing a domestic dump truck with an articulated frame.

An analytical review of existing dump trucks with forced unloading of the body, implemented using hydraulic or mechanical devices built into its structure, as well as due to the vibration effect of automobile on-site vibration exciters fixed on the body walls, is given. The possibility of using the transporting devices with an elastic function element, developed at the Institute of Mining of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as a false bottom of the body of large dump truck and the need to equip them with self-synchronizing inertial vibration exciters has been substantiated. The procedure and results of experimental studies of the dynamics of elastic function elements with different rigidity, equipped with two unbalanced vibration sources have been presented. Geometric and dynamic ratios that ensure the stability of synchronous operation of vibration exciters in conditions of a change in the technological load on the surface of a function element due to the release of bulk material from the body have been found. The degree of vibration isolation of vibrotransporting devices from the supporting structure of a dump truck has been experimentally determined.

The Cost

It is important for mining dump trucks to minimize the weight of the carrier and the load platform while maintaining a sufficient level of their rigidness and strength. This requirement significantly affects the weight of the transported material, the cost of transportation and, consequently, the economic efficiency of mining operations. Processes of loading and dumping of bulk loads, which is transported by dump trucks, make a significant contribution to reducing the service life of the carrier. Therefore, proper consideration of the bulk load dynamics is an important and relevant task. Contemporary systems for calculating the dynamics of solids allow for joint modeling with applications designed to calculate the dispersed body dynamics. This approach helps to obtain adequate loads in the pivots and force links of the model, to analyze the loading of the load platform, to asses the durability of the dump truck elements, to define the geometry of the load platform. In order to perform the simulation, it is required to develop a mathematical model of a dump truck, including all its key elements and subsystems, a model of the bulk load, and a model of the load platform. The purpose of the study is to develop a mathematical model of a mine dump truck to determine the loads in the pivots and force links connected to the carrier and the load platform for the strength calculations and durability analysis. The calculations are made with the combined use of the solids dynamics calculation system and the application to calculate the dynamics of dispersed bodies.

The company is working with a second party (contractor) in completing jobs to fulfill customer orders. Among its products, there are 4 types of products (Dump Truck, Subframe, Tilting, and Tanki Truck) whose job is submitted to 4 teams of contractors. The decision on job allocation is done by givingit  to the team that have alredy completed their jobs. This allocation method turns out to cost each team to work on the same type of product that is quite varied. Variations in the cost of work, of course, have an impact on variations in profits. It is necessary to determine the allocation of the type and amount of work that is right for each team so as to get the maximum profit. The optimum allocation result is the decision parameter for the combination of the amount of production of each product in addition to the capacity of each team and the processing time. For this reason research is needed which aims to 1) determine the optimum allocation of work, 2) determine the production target of each product to get the maximum profit. The work allocation is done by comparing the Hungarian Assignment method and the Transportation method to choose the minimum total cost. The optimum solution for the number of products produced to achieve maximum profit is done by the Linear Program. The results of the research findings show that 1) dump trucks were handled by 88% by team-1 and 12% by team-4; subframes are done by 39% by team-2, 26% by team-3, 35% by team-4; tilting is done by team-3, and truck tank is done by team-2; 2)the production target (sales target) to get maximum profit is to produce 73 units of dump trucks, 120 units of subframes, 29 units of tilting, and 33 units of tank trucks. This solution provides a profit increase of 0.9%.Keywords: optimum, Hungarian, Transportation, Linier Programming

The paper presents the results of hygienic assessment of the working environment and work process factors at surface and underground ore mining operations, ferrous metallurgy plants and aluminum production facilities. It has been established that workers are affected by a complex of production factors (dust, toxic substances, noise, vibration, unfavorable micro climate, etc.), the level of which often exceeds the hygienic standards. The workplace conditions of the primary jobs at these enterprises in 60-80% of cases are classified as hazardous, i.e. Class 3 of various hazard degrees. The incidence of occupational diseases remains high, especially in underground mining and at aluminum production plants. The specific features of mining and metallurgical operations and the severity of unfavorable production factors determine the structure of occupational morbidity. Occupational respiratory diseases are most common among workers in the ferrous metallurgy industry and account for 70.3% in total. Vibration-induced pathologies are most frequently diagnosed among excavator, bulldozer and dump truck operators, and account for 52.9% of all the diagnosed occupational diseases. Hearing organ pathology in the form of neurosensory loss of hearing among workers of mining and metallurgical enterprises ranges from 10.2% (aluminum smelters) to 22.7% (ferrous metallurgy plants) in the occupational morbidity structure. Chronic intoxication with fluorine compounds at aluminum smelters was diagnosed in 68.1% of cases. The results obtained confirm the pressing need to improve the working conditions, introduce preventive measures based on the primary prevention principles, and reduce the risk factors of health problems among the workers.

The article substantiates the quantity and type of tire size for a dump truck with a carrying capacity from 90 to 130 tons. Types of tire sizes for dump trucks are given, as well as an analysis of applicable tires for dump trucks. An example of tire configuration for a dump truck is described, as well as the differences between projects and dump trucks with the traditional arrangement of large tires. The working productivity of large tires was cal- culated using the TKH “tons per kilometer per hour” technique. The general tasks that need to be addressed when designing a dump truck are highlighted. The conclusion is made on the relevance of the development of scientifically based approaches when designing dump trucks. The above data indicate that when surface mining, it is possible to solve the economic problem of reduc- ing the operating costs of transporting minerals by applying the proposed arrangement and number of large tires when designing new dump trucks, including robotic and unmanned ones.

At present, Kuzbass coal strip mines pay great attention to improving quality performance of mining equipment operation, including reliability and durability of components and units. One of the ways of the performance improvement is decreasing number of unforeseen failures. To achieve this purpose a mine dump truck part diagnostics should be introduced into a maintenance service procedure. At the same time the process of diagnostics should not increase the machinery downtime, but effectively reveal a condition of motor-wheel gearboxes in the course of dump truck operation. The aim of the research is to increase the reliability and service life of motor-wheel gearboxes of large BelAZ dump trucks. Failure of a motor-wheel gearbox is a rare phenomenon, but the cost of a new gearbox can vary from 3.5 to 10 million rubles. That is why it is important to implement such methods of diagnostics, which allow revealing the condition of gearboxes in the shortest possible time and without disassembling corresponding units. Determination of the actual technical condition of motor-wheel gearboxes is possible by different methods: vibroacoustic; acoustic; thermal; physical and chemical analysis of spent operating materials. The studies showed that none of these methods can be used as a universal one. When justifying and selecting the most suitable method, different factors should be considered, including technological, or a combination of methods should be applied, which will reduce risks, but at the same time increase costs. It is necessary to develop a better diagnostic method based on the use of several methods simultaneously.
