out thoroughly an efficient scheme for the combined breakage and to establish its rational<br />

parameters and dependences:<br />

Advantages of the hydromechanical method for coal breakage were defined by a<br />

comparative research of the mechanical and hydromechanical methods.<br />

The research was carried out by breaking a coal-cement block on a planer. A<br />

tensodynamometer (with an amplifier 8ANCh-7M and an oscillograph H-115) was fixed<br />

on the support of the planer to register the force parameters of the process. A special<br />

hydromechanical device was attached to the dynamometer Water was supplied to the<br />

device by two pumps (water pressure up to 55 MPa, water discharge 200 l/min.). The<br />

stand was provided with a special device to collect the dust formed by breaking the coal<br />

block.<br />

CHARACTERISTICS OF COAL MASSIF COMBINED BREAKAGE AND<br />

DETERMINATION OF ITS RATIONAL SCHEME<br />

The research has proved that for the breakage while h s> h the depth of slot cut by<br />

a water jet does not tell upon P z, P y and P x and upon the energy consumption H w because<br />

the pillars (being heterogenious) are broken at a smaller height than the depth of slot.<br />

When h s > h, the deeper the slot, the more reduced the force parameters of the process<br />

and the specific energy consumption for mechanical breakage, because a bigger h s<br />

provides for a smaller area of contact of the cutter with the coal massif and a lower pillar<br />

resistance to breakage.<br />

For all the breakage schemes any increase of the parameters h and t leads to a<br />

reduction of the energy consumption H w according to the curve dependences, and it<br />

reaches the minimum at its certain rational values which correspond to the maximum<br />

volume of breakage. Any further increase of the mentioned parameters leads to a higher<br />

specific energy consumption because the volume of breakage remains practically<br />

constant, while the rolling force of the disc cutter increases.<br />

It is determined that when the disc cutter is introduced directly in the inter-slot<br />

pillar (Fig. l,a), its breakage happens along the direction perpendicular to the plane of<br />

rolling of the disc cutter and provides for a considerable output of coal fines. Whereas the<br />

disc cutter introduced in the slot formed by the water jet provides for breaking the coal<br />

massif due to the tension and bending moment both perpendicular to the plane of rolling<br />

of the disc cutter and along its movement in the slot. That is why the cutting force P z is by<br />

1.3-1.5 times and the energy consumption H w is by 3.0-3.5 times greater for the front<br />

scheme than for the one-sided and two-sided schemes of breakage. So the front scheme is<br />

responsible for output of about 30 per cent of coal grade 0-6 mm (which is by 4-5 times<br />

more than that of the one- and two-sided schemes) while its output of coal grade +25 mm<br />

is but almost 2 times less.<br />
