Abstract

Mining diggers have been substituted with the robots for the mining works in dangerous and narrow tunnel, and those demands are increased in nowadays. In this study, experimental research on the remote controlled robots to perform after the development of the robot. According to the test results, performances of the developed robot and its working devices have been modified several times. It has been considered that the robot keeps its optimum performance in states as follows; driving speed 1.0 km/h, crawl angle $10^{\circ}$, spiking cycle 500bpm and breaking power $30kg_fm$. And also it has been found that sufficient cooling for the robot's working parts is essential to extend those working periods longer than 3 hours steadily under rating condition.

지하자원 채굴을 위한 갱도나 협소하고 위험한 공간에서 사람을 대신하여 채굴작업을 수행하는 로봇의 수요가 증가되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원격 제어형 로봇 및 작업기구를 개발하여 석탄광산에서 원활한 채굴작업을 수행가능한지를 시험 갱도에서 확인하였다. 시험한 결과 개발된 로봇은 주행속도 1.0 km/h, 등판가능 경사도 $10^{\circ}$ 정도임을 확인하였다. 협소한 공간에서 분쇄기의 타격회수 500bpm, 타격력 $30kg_f-m$을 유지해야만 터널에서의 채굴작업이 가능하고, 최대 3시간까지 작업을 수행하기 위해서는 터널 내부의 환경조건을 분석하여 로봇을 충분히 냉각시키는 냉각시스템이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.
