Method for determining the position of plant components in mining extracting plants

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining the position and/or location of plant components of a mining extracting plant, which includes at least one face conveyor (8), a shield- type support system (1) having a plurality of shield- type support frames (2) and an extracting machine (6) that is moveable along the face conveyor (8), wherein the position and/or location of at least one plant component is determined by way of an evaluation system that includes at least one detection unit (25). In order to be able to determine the location and/or position of at least one plant component even in the case of a dynamic mineral mining process, the at least one detection unit (25) includes an image sensor, by way of which at least four object points (21), which are at a predetermined spacing to each other and are detectable within the optical wavelength range, of at least one measuring object (20) associated with one of the plant components, are detected. Using the evaluation system, the position and/or location of the plant component can be determined from the projection of the object points detected by way of the image sensor.
