Method for control of the chain drive mechanisms of underground working machines, especially chain scraper conveyors, and a chain scraper conveyor

The present invention relates to a method for the control of the chain drive mechanisms of underground working machines, especially chain scraper conveyors, as well as a corresponding chain scraper conveyor. The invention relates to a method for the control of the chain drive mechanisms of underground working machines and a correspondingly equipped chain scraper conveyor. The invention proposes to filter out a detection signal (S), representative of the currently arising vibrations of the chain (), from the operating data of the main and auxiliary drives (I, II) by means of a detection device (), and to take this to an active suppressor (), which generates a time-variable control signal (S) in accordance with a suppressor function, with which, in the frequency range of the vibration of the chain, a change is effected to a control value, e.g. (S) for the closing pressure adjustment of a multiple disc clutch () of at least one drive unit for the suppression of vibration by the abstraction of energy from, or the introduction of energy into the chain ().
