Engineering Design Technique Development of Continuous Loading Modules

The problem of improvement of mined rock loading system efficiency in drifting faces is stated in the paper, as well as the necessity to develop an up-to-date methodology of continuous loading module design is revealed, which considers dynamic and stochastic loading processes. Essential differences in resolving problems of loading module design are given for tunneling machines and mine loaders. Basic approaches to an objective function and constraint-functions are determined. A generalized design-functional construction of loading modules is developed.
