Abstract
A method and apparatus for determining the position and/or situation of installation components of a mineral mining installation which has as installation components at least one face conveyor for removing mined material, one shield-type support for keeping a face open, pushing devices for pushing the face conveyor and the shield-type support in active operation, an extracting machine which can be moved along the face conveyor, and a drift conveyor, the position and situation of at least one installation component being determined by a measuring system having a detection unit with measurement sensor and the detection unit decoupled from the movement of the extracting machine, can be or is moved to and fro between two points of the guiding system along at least one installation component at the face such as, e.g. the face conveyor, by a separate guiding system 21; a mining installation relating to the same.

- 26. A method for determining the position and/or situation of installation components of a mineral mining installation, particularly of a coal mining installation, which includes as installation components at least one of a face conveyor for removing mined material, a shield-type support for keeping a face open, a pushing devices for pushing the face conveyor and the shield-type support during active operation, an extracting machine which is movable along the face conveyor, and a gate conveyor, the position and situation of the at least one installation component being determined by a measuring system comprising a detection unit with measurement sensor, the detection unit decoupled from the movement of the extracting machine, is moved to and fro between two points of a separate guiding system along at least one of the installation components at the face by the separate guiding system.
- 40. A mining installation for mining, particularly a coal mining installation, with a face conveyor for removing mined material, with a shield-type support for keeping a face open, with pushing devices for pushing the face conveyor and the shield-type support in active operation, with a gate conveyor and with an extracting machine as installation components of the mining installation, a measuring system comprising a detection unit with measurement sensor being provided for determining the position and situation of at least one installation component of the mining installation, the measuring system for the detection unit having a separate guiding system by way of which the detection unit, decoupled from the movement of the extracting machine, can be moved to and fro between two points of the guiding system.

54. A method for determining the position and/or situation of installation components of a mineral mining installation, particularly of a coal mining installation, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing at least one installation component selected from the group consisting of a face conveyor for removing mined material, a shield-type support for keeping a face open, a pushing devices for pushing the face conveyor and the shield-type support during active operation, an extracting machine which is movable along the face conveyor and a gate conveyor; determining at least one of the position and the situation of the at least one installation component by a measuring system including a detection unit with measurement sensor, the detection unit being decoupled from the movement of the extracting machine and is moved to and fro between two points by a separate guiding system along at least one installation component at the face by the separate guiding system.
