Introduction

      Excavation machines are the main tools for mining, which requires considerable attention with regard to their automation and continuous improvement of their quality characteristics.
Clearing Combine – a combined mining machinery, both of the demolition of coal and its loading on conveyer [1].
The need to combine automation equipment stipulated by various regulatory documents. These tools and systems are: remote control equipment and motors combine the pipeline, as well as an automatic feeder, apparatus warning lights before starting the combine, the beginning of the machine, safety winch apparatus speakerphone working in the pit among themselves and with staff at the roadway, the automatic controller load, ensuring the maintenance of the desired mode of operation, remote control position of cutting bodies, protection of electric apparatus of the rollover and abortive launch, excluding longer find the drive in the inhibited state, automatic control equipment Lining[2].

A theme urgency

        The effectiveness of the mine depends on the effective use of mining equipment.
       Working with a small strata of power at large depths, as well as the need for more precise location, implies an increase in the velocity response of various elements of automation and improve the high level of protection to ensure safe operation of maintenance personnel and protect the equipment from various negative factors of the working process. In connection with these problems of automation the process of automatization has received considerable attention.
One of the urgent tasks in the sphere of automation winning machines (Clearing Combines) is an objective improvement of regulatory burden on the drive. Existing systems are designed for work with volume hydraulic drive, can not be used for working with modern combines with with Frequency-Controlled Drive, so the task of the Research and Development of Automatic Control System of the Load and Velocity Submission Clearing Combine with Frequency-Controlled Drive is relevant today.

Communication of work with scientific programs, plans, themes

       Master's qualification work is executed during 2009-2010 agrees with a scientific direction of the department "Mining Electrical Engineering and Automation after R. M. Leibov” of Donetsk National Technical University.

The purpose and problems of the development (of the research)

       Objective - increase the efficiency of the technological process of coal mining through the development of automation systems including load management device.
      The idea of work is to develop and study the regulator load Clearing combine with a Frequency-Controlled Drive application based on microprocessor technology and modern element base.
        The main objectives of the development (research): Since the main task of the mining industry is the increase in coal production and reduce the risks associated with its prey apply automated control methods combine in order to remove any person to a safe distance from the place of work.
In the graduation project the following tasks will be discribed :
• Modeling of the work of the Clearing Combine;
• Modeling of system management  of the Load and Velocity Submission Clearing Combine with Frequency-Controlled Drive;
• improving the efficiency, reliability, reducing maintenance costs and replacement of major components of the equipment process of coal mining.
        The subject of the development (research) is a direct regulator of the Load and Velocity Submission Clearing Combine with Frequency-Controlled Drive filing.
         The object of automation is the technological process of coal mining.

Methodology and methods of researches

       The complexity of research, and often the correctness of the modeling results are largely determined by the chosen method of research. First of all, it regards the choice of the method of structural identification of the object. There are three main approaches to the development of the mathematical model:
   a) The formation of the model equations through the application of physical laws that describe the behavior or condition of the object. The method requires a detailed acquaintance with the physical essence of the phenomenon.
   b) obtaining a mathematical description of the object on the basis of the theory of linear graphs. It allows significantly simplify the process of identification through the formalized representation of system components in the form-ports and structure of the object (system) in the form of so-called graph. The method makes it possible to adapt the model for its implementation by means of computers.
   c) Structural identification of the object based on the systematic application of variational principles in the same way as the previous method allows to some extent formalize the process of drafting a model. This approach requires knowledge of the researcher bases the calculus of variations and, in particular, the main variational principles (the principle of Lagrange, Fermat's principle, etc.), as well as their application.
         In this case, after analyzing the above described methods of structural identification, to simulate the load of the combine’s cutting body with the variable resistance of the coal cutting choose the first method, based on the application of physical laws describing the behavior of the object, as well as statistical laws describing stochastic processes as all other methods are not appreciated.

Prospective scientific novelty of the received results

       To develop a reliable mode of operation requires numerous experimental studies on the existing Clearing Combines. However, the experimental study of load on the Clearing Combine is very difficult. Under these conditions mathematical modeling is applied, requires two prerequisites: the availability of the possibility of constructing an accurate mathematical model of the mandatory strict adaptation of the model in an efficient Combine. Modeling of automatic control system for electric load Clearing Combine is a part of an overall problem of building Clearing Combines management system. System modeling of Clearing Combines, as well as mathematical models for regulating the load will significantly reduce the amount of experimental work carried out directly on the site, but ultimately does not exclude or replace them.

Practical value of the received results

          This work will use data derived from mathematical analysis. In his ochenred these results are of great importance in the development of the current model controller workload mining combine.

Each module has its own strictly defined address, which is assigned programmatically. The central module of the complex is the controller 1-7188, located in the central control unit. The work of the complex is stored in accordance with a program  in the memory controller, I-7188.
         In case of emergency: overheating motors, overloading, exceeding the permissible concentration of methane in the slaughter, the lack of water in the cooling system of engines overheating of oil in the gear cutting bodies; violation insulation of power cables, inverter and engine supply, the disappearance channel at radio, the Combine is off .
           Stop of the combine (the feed rate is reset to 0) occurs in the absence of oil pressure in the hydraulic brakes and water in the cooling system of the frequency converter, in excess of the permissible temperature of the converter.
Information about the state of the Compex and Combine and is displayed on the indicating the block, located in the central control unit, in 13 windows: "The reason is off"; "Found faults"; "Remote Central"; "Remote Left", "Remote Rights"; "Dashboard Radio", "Remote gate-end"; "terminal box"; "control unit"; "converter of Frequency," "Submission," "Engines", "Contactor". Window – is 8 lines of information that is visible on the display unit at the current time.
           In the versions KS500CH.02, KS500CH.04, KS500CH.05, KS500CH.06 information about the state of the complex and the combine is also displayed on the screen controller VisiGRAF, located in the remote gate-end control. Designed for remote gate-end control program is recorded on the flash drive controller VisiGRAF, which interrogates the local network of the complex, monitors and displays the work of the combine.
        Testing complex KS500CH was held at four mines: Bazhanov, "Butovskaya", "Yuzhnodonbasskaya" #3, "Novodonetsk". Currently in operation there are two combines with complex KDK500 KS500CH – in the Bazhanov mines and "Yuzhnodonbasskaya" #3. As a result of industrial tests inherent technical solutions for the management of frequency-controlled drive source were confirmed. Apparatus and Clearin Combine are accepted for mass production [4].
