A drilling and bolting rig includes a carousel rotatable about a carousel axis and including a plurality of stations configured to support a plurality of consumables, one or more actuators, and a position sensor coupled to the carousel. The one or more actuators are configured to rotate the carousel about the carousel axis. The drilling and bolting rig further includes an electronic processor coupled to the one or more actuators and the position sensor. The electronic processor is configured to detect, using the position sensor, a rotational position of the carousel, and rotate, using the one or more actuators, the carousel based on the rotational position of the carousel.

A drilling and bolting rig for performing drilling and bolting operations. The drilling and bolting rig includes a magazine for storing a consumable, a feed supporting a drill head for movement relative to a work surface, and a loader configured to retrieve the consumable from the magazine and load the consumable into the drill head. The loader includes an arm operable to engage the consumable. The arm is supported for both rotational and translational movement.

A pumpable resin system for installation of mine bolts includes a resin injection cylinder comprising a resin chamber and a resin hydraulic cylinder, a catalyst injection cylinder including a catalyst chamber and a catalyst hydraulic cylinder, with the resin hydraulic cylinder synchronized with the catalyst hydraulic cylinder, a hydraulic pump in fluid communication with the resin hydraulic cylinder and the catalyst hydraulic cylinder, a hydraulic reservoir in fluid communication with the hydraulic pump, and a delivery line in fluid communication with the resin injection cylinder and the catalyst injection cylinder. The delivery line is configured to deliver resin and catalyst from the resin injection cylinder and catalyst injection cylinder into a borehole.

Provided are a grouting anchor bolt and a grouting anchor cable for supporting of large deformation and constant resistance and a quantitative roadway supporting method, wherein an anchor bolt comprises a casing, a hollow rod body, an anchor cylinder, a tray, a fastening nut and a clamping pin, a front end of the casing is sealed and a rear end of the casing is opened, a middle position of the casing is provided with a plurality of grouting holes, an inner diameter of the casing from the middle position of the casing to the rear end becomes small gradually, a side surface of a front end of the hollow rod body is sleeved with an anchor cylinder, the anchor cylinder is inserted into the casing and movably connected with the casing, the anchor cylinder is connected with the casing through the clamping pin, a rear end of the hollow rod body is sequentially assembled and connected with the tray and the fastening nut. The beneficial effects herein are as follows: the anchor bolt and the anchor cable simple in structure, easy to process, simplifies operations of supporting and grouting, and therefore particularly suitable for supporting of large deformation for surrounding rocks. The self-bearing capability of surrounding rocks is improved, and the supporting of large deformation of surrounding rocks is provided through constant resistance, thereby realizing organic combination of “yielding-supporting” and “active-passive supporting”; the quantitative roadway supporting method may realize quantitative supporting for a roadway.
