Abstract:
A device and a method for detaching a current collector of a mining vehicle before a track end in response to a sufficient voltage drop is provided. Timely detachment of the current collector is further ensured with one or more sensor arrangements. A trolley track system incorporating the device is also provided.
Abstract:
An underground mining vehicle includes an electric motor for driving the vehicle and a rechargeable battery for supplying electric energy to the electric motor. A charging system is connected to an electric power source external to the vehicle for recharging the at least one rechargeable battery. A cooling system is connected to a cooling agent source external to the vehicle for cooling the rechargeable battery. At least one detection element for detecting the cooling system is connected to the external cooling agent source.
Abstract:
A mining machine and a charging station have batteries that may be cooled down by different refrigerant circuits and include a battery for storing electrical energy, a refrigerant circuit for circulating a refrigerant via the battery, and a connection for connecting the refrigerant circuit to a refrigerant circuit of a charging station via a fluid-fluid heat exchanger.
