摘要:The article presents an analysis of circuit decisions of the actuating device of the geohod for the destruction of soft rocks for compliance with the requirements for them. To set the relevant goals and objectives of the study, the features of the work of a new class of mining machines (geohods) and the main provisions of geohod technology are presented. As a result of the study by the method of multicriteria analysis, it was found that the knife actuating device of the geohod meets the most complete requirements for the actuating device of the geohod. Requirements and options for circuit design for knife actuating device of geohods have been developed. To analyze the previously developed circuit design of the knife actuating device of the geohod, the method of multi-criteria analysis of decision making was chosen. Because of the analysis, four options for circuit design of knife actuating device of geohods were reasonably selected. The tasks for further research are formulated.
