JKMD Ground-Mounted Multi-Rope Friction Mine Hoist

Product features: Significant advantages in floor-standing installation; high-efficiency direct-drive dual-motor transmission; a heavy-load stable load-bearing system; an intelligent O&M monitoring system; and multiple safety redundancy safeguards.

    Overview

    The JKMD multi-rope friction hoist series is designed and manufactured in accordance with standards including Q/YX007-2021 “Multi-rope Friction Hoists,” AQ1036-2007 “Safety Inspection Code for Multi-rope Friction Hoists for Coal Mines,” and GB/T10599-2010 “Multi-rope Friction Hoists.” These hoists are primarily used in deep shafts (lifting height ≥ 600 m) or ultra-deep shafts in coal mines, metal mines, and non-metallic mineral mines, where they are employed for personnel hoisting, material transport, and the lowering of large equipment. The equipment adopts a ground-mounted layout combined with multi-rope friction transmission technology; the main pulleys are installed on concrete foundations, and the system can accommodate 4–8 steel wires. It features high installed capacity, low infrastructure costs, and strong operational stability, making it a core piece of equipment for efficient transport in deep-shaft mines.

    Core Advantage

    Based on the principle of multi-rope friction drive, the lifting container is raised and lowered by the frictional force between the steel wire rope and the friction pad. This system features a relatively small steel wire rope diameter, a compact friction wheel, high lifting capacity, and a high safety rating.

    Suitable for deep-well extraction operations with an annual production capacity exceeding 1.2 million tonnes and a well depth not exceeding 2,100 meters.

    Operational Principle

    The KMD mine hoist uses a variable-frequency motor as its power source and implements ultra-deep-well hoisting operations through a closed-loop process comprising “ground-mounted friction drive–counterweight tension balance–variable-frequency speed control–triple safety braking”; the specific operating principle is as follows:

    01
    Ground-mounted friction drive

    A variable-frequency motor drives a planetary reducer via a coupling; the output shaft of the reducer drives the drive wheel to rotate, which, through the friction between a high-friction coefficient pad mounted on the drive wheel and multiple steel wire ropes, pulls the wire ropes into motion. The drive wheel is mounted on the ground using a large radial roller bearing and installed on a concrete foundation, with a load-bearing capacity exceeding 5000 kN, thereby ensuring stability under deep-well, heavy-load operating conditions;

    02
    Tension balancing control

    The system is equipped with a hydraulic tension balancing device; a tension cylinder is connected to the top end of each steel wire rope, and the tension in each individual rope is monitored in real time via a pressure sensor. When the tension differential exceeds 5%, the control system automatically adjusts the cylinder pressure to ensure uniform tension across all steel wire ropes; additionally, a tail-rope suspension device is installed to balance the tension differential generated by the self-weight of the steel wire ropes during the hoisting process.

    03
    Safety braking protection

    The hoist is equipped with a disc brake assembly whose braking torque is no less than three times the maximum static braking torque; the disc brakes are engaged through hydraulic and electrical control. The hoist employs a combined mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic system composed of various sensors and control components for overall machine monitoring and protection;

    04
    Depth and position monitoring

    A high-precision shaft encoder (resolution ≤ 0.1°) provides real-time data on the main drive wheel speed; the PLC system calculates the container’s position and velocity, which, together with a beam-type depth indicator, enables dual-position monitoring. When the container approaches the wellhead or the well bottom, deceleration control is automatically triggered, achieving a stopping accuracy of ±30 mm.

    Nuclear Structure

    Friction Wheel Assembly

    The friction wheels employ a single or double brake disc design; the well-tower configuration is equipped with a single rope groove, whereas the ground-mounted configuration is equipped with dual rope grooves and a rope adjustment device;

    The lining material is made of PVC or phenolic resin, ensuring a high coefficient of friction and excellent wear resistance.

    Brake Assembly

    Equipped with a rear-mounted disc brake (with a hydraulic cylinder) and supporting electro-hydraulic integrated control; the braking torque shall be no less than three times the maximum static braking torque;

    Hydraulic stations are available in two types: medium-low pressure (constant braking delay) and medium-high pressure (constant deceleration/constant braking torque), and are equipped with pressure sensors and transmitters.

    Transmission and Drive

    The spindle is directly driven by a low-speed motor (without a speed reducer) or driven via a planetary gear reducer, with a transmission efficiency of ≥90%;

    DC motors or AC variable-frequency motors are available as optional equipment; the power range spans 22 kW to 11,600 kW, and multi-motor parallel drive is supported.

    Control System

    The control console integrates a digital depth indicator, an industrial video monitoring interface, and a PLC control module, supporting manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic operating modes;

    Equipped with the ASCS-3 fully digital speed regulation system, enabling precise speed control and fault diagnosis.

    Security Protection Features

    Real-time monitoring
    Integrates monitoring sensors for over-speed, over-rolling, slack rope, brake shoe wear, wire rope slip, and other conditions, and implements coordinated control with the main motor;
    Redundant design
    A dual-depth indication system (mechanical arc indicator + digital indicator) is employed, with a positioning error of less than 0.5 m;
    Emergency mechanism
    Supports constant-deceleration safe braking and two-stage braking; in the event of a power failure, redundant braking is automatically activated, in compliance with the GB 16423 standard specifications.

    Application Scenarios and Limitations

    Applicable scene
    Deep-well mineral lifting (e.g., coal and metal ores); Vertical shaft personnel hoisting (JKB series explosion-proof equipment must be selected); Lowering of large equipment (e.g., water pumps, grouting pipes, etc.).
    Constraints
    Non-explosion-proof equipment is strictly prohibited from being used in environments where methane or coal dust is present; Limit on the number of wire rope winding layers: for personnel lifting, single-layer winding is permitted; for cargo lifting, double-layer winding is permitted.
