The drive unit includes a motor and a chuck for engaging the drill element. The chuck is driven by the motor. In some aspects, the actuator includes a magnet exerting a magnetic force on the block to provide magnetic coupling between the actuator and a block supporting the motor. In some aspects, the actuator is positioned at least partially within an elongated member of the frame. In some aspects, the drive unit includes a switched reluctance motor including a stator and a rotor supported for rotation relative to the stator, and the rotor is directly coupled to the chuck.

A handling system for handling expendables for a drill rig arranged for automated handling of the expendables is provided. The handling system includes a pickup mechanism configured to move an expendable back and forth between a magazine of the drill rig for expendables and a loading position within the drill rig, a first outer guide device configured to receive and guide the expendable, optionally grip and hold the trailing portion of the expendable when the expendable is in an outer extreme position, and a second outer guide device provided adjacent the first outer guide device between the first outer guide device and an inner guide device.

A cable handling device for an underground mining drill rig, wherein the cable handling device includes a first feeding assembly having a cable bending guide and a first feeding device configured to receive a cable, grip the cable and feed the cable in a first direction into the cable bending guide. The cable bending guide is configured to guide the cable along an arcuate path such that the cable exits the cable bending guide in a second direction offset a predetermined angle to the first direction.

A composite support structure, a construction system, and a method, the composite support structure includes a plurality of arc plate rings that are longitudinally arranged along a roadway. A concrete fill steel tube support is arranged on an inner side or an outer side of each arc plate ring. The arc plate ring is formed by splicing a plurality of arc plates. Each concrete fill steel tube support is formed by splicing a plurality of steel pipe sections. The arc plate rings and the concrete fill steel tube supports are capable of jointly supporting walls of the roadway. The support structure has high bearing capability, high construction efficiency of a construction system, and low labor intensity.

The invention relates to an improved bolt apparatus for installation, the improved bolt apparatus including, a bolt having a head, shaft and an end and the head of the bolt including an improvement means. The bolt also including an engagement means, associated with the shaft, between the head and the end of the bolt, for engaging with or into a surface where the bolt is to be installed. The improved bolt apparatus may be installed into a suitable hole in the surface, and the improvement means enables the type, kind, or characteristic of the bolt to be known and or the bolt installation to be adjusted within the hole. The invention also provides many variants thereon, and methods of use.

The present disclosure relates to a technical field of coal mining, in particular to a surrounding rock stability control method adapted for a coal mining area main roadway. The method comprises the following steps: reinforcing support on a roof and two sides of the mining area main roadway on a basis of an original support form; digging a safety roadway along a stop line of a present working face required by coal mine design, and supporting the safety roadway, wherein a protective coal pillar is formed between the safety roadway and the mining area main roadway; performing slitting blasting on the roof in the safety roadway, wherein blast holes are arranged on a roadway corner line on one side of the present working face to form a pre-splitting slit; and performing stoping at a next working face after completing coal mining at the present working face when stoping at the present working face advances to the safety roadway. By cutting the roof and relieving pressure at the stop mining line of the working face, an influence of mining disturbance on stability of the mining area main roadway in the stoping process of the working face is reduced, and by reinforcing support, a yielding deformation capacity of the mining area main roadway is improved, and the stability of the surrounding rock of the mining area main roadway is further improved.

A ground-disposed foundation mat. A pre-drilled, wooden block has a thru-hole, the thru-hole defined by a thru-hole inner surface and a hole diameter, the wooden block having an outer surface; a rod is power-driven through the thru-hole, the rod having a head top surface and a smooth outer surface, the rod having a lead end, the rod having an outer diameter equal to or slightly greater than the hole diameter of each of the thru holes, wherein each rod is held in place by significant friction between the thru-hole inner surface and the smooth outer surface of the rod. As such, the rod is adapted to remain held in place within the block even when subjected to a pull force of at least 3 tons.
