Patent number: 6655514Abstract: The invention relates to a scraper chain for scraper chain conveyors, particularly for use in mining, with vertical chain links flattened in their longitudinal legs, which are integrally joined by nose-parts of circular cross-section, while the horizontal chain links have a constant circular cross-section all round. The scraper chain has a strength which is at least equal to that of a size 48 standard round link chain. The horizontal links serving as scraper connection have a pitch which is at least 10%, and preferably about 15%, greater than the pitch of the vertical links. The outer width of the horizontal links is at least 30% greater than the outer width of the vertical links. For the scraper chain according to the invention, sprockets whose dimensions are the same as those for scraper chains of considerably lower strength may be used.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1998Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: DBT GmbHInventors: Gerhard Merten, Hans Meya

Patent number: 6616122Abstract: An electromagnet switching device for hydraulic or electrohydraulic directional control valves, especially applied in advancing supports of underground mining equipment with controllable electromagnets (10A, 10B) accommodated in a case (1) and comprising armature (5), coil bodies (3), magnetisable core (4) and switching plunger (6), whose switching plunger (6) has a switching end which can be coupled to the closing element of a hydraulic valve (33A, 33B) and an actuating end (8) for manual operation, whereby the effective switching lift of the switching plunger (6) is adjustable. The switching plunger (6) is joined to the armature (5) by means of a screwed connection and adjustment of the switching lift is facilitated by a relative rotation between the armature (5) and the switching plunger (6).Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2002Date of Patent: September 9, 2003Assignee: DBT GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Kobow, Michael Dettmers

Patent number: 6615705Abstract: A hydraulic cylinder (10), especially as a pit prop or moving cylinder unit in underground mining, with a locking ring (16) arranged on an outer cylinder tube (11) sealing it at its end with a lead through for an axially movable rod element (12; 13) accommodated in it. The locking ring (16) is provided in the lead through surrounding the rod element (12; 13) with a sealing arrangement (22) resting on the outer side (34) of the rod element (12; 13). The sealing arrangement (22) has a guide ring (29) provided with grease grooves (33) open to the outer side (34) of the rod element (12, 13), which can, be supplied with lubricant for the grease grooves (33) via a lubricant line (35) accessible on the outside on the hydraulic cylinder (10) and which is arranged in an accepting groove (40) formed interlocking ring (16) between an axially inner and an axially outer collar (38; 39).Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2001Date of Patent: September 9, 2003Assignee: DBT GmbHInventors: Werner Reinelt, Friedrich-Wilhelm Dannehl

Patent number: 6609539Abstract: In the directional control valve (10) for support mechanisms in underground mining, the valve piston (16) is guided seal free in the valve seat carrier (15) between the high pressure connection (P) and a sealing ring (22) and thus permits an overflow of high pressure fluid from the high pressure connection (P) to the return flow connection (T) on opening the valve (10). The valve (10) thus achieves an opening and closing characteristic with negative overlapping and so provides gentle switching processes, so that switching impacts with high pressure peaks do not arise.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2001Date of Patent: August 26, 2003Assignee: DBT GmbHInventors: Werner Reinelt, Michael Dettmers, Wolfgang Kobow

Patent number: 6607074Abstract: A drive station for a chain scraper conveyor for mining operations, in which the height position of a drive shaft, can be set by means of an adaptor plate (50), which can be fastened at different height levels on the machine frame of the drive station. The adaptor plates (50) includes a machine frame side inner side (52) and a drive side outer side (53), onto which the drive set can be fastened. The position of fastening screws (56), (57) in elongate holes (54), (55), in the adaptor plate (50) the direction of an asymmetric setting key (30) and the rotational position of an annular disc plate (40) with an outer ring (42) arranged eccentrically to an inner ring (41), determine the assembly position in each case.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2001Date of Patent: August 19, 2003Assignee: DBT GmbHInventors: Adam Klabisch, Gerhard Merten, Hans Meya, Ulrich Mohn
