The invention relates to the technical field of rock drills, in particular to a rock
drill for
coal mining, which comprises a
drill body, an air connecting
pipe is mounted on the outer wall of the
drill body, an upper air
inlet valve is connected to the middle of the air connecting
pipe, a lower air
inlet valve is connected to the bottom end of the air connecting
pipe, and a limiting cylinder is mounted at the upper end of the inner side of the drill body. A
piston rod is mounted on the inner side of the limiting cylinder, and a
piston disc is mounted in the middle of the
piston rod; a rock drilling structure is installed on the inner side of the top of the
machine body and comprises a connecting block, the connecting block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of a
piston rod, and the bottom end of the connecting block is fixedly connected with a connecting rod. According to the rock drill, by arranging the supporting
barrel capable of moving on the outer side of the
drill bit body, when the
drill bit body is clamped in the rock and cannot be retracted into the
machine body, the supporting
barrel can stretch out and support the outer side of the rock clamping the
drill bit body, upward force is applied to the
machine body to assist the drill bit body to be separated from the rock, manpower is saved, and the use experience of the device is improved.
