The invention provides a method for designing geometrical size of a coal cutter chain cutting part cutting tooth. The method comprises the following steps: step 1, determining the relation between cutting depth and cutting torque; steps 2, determining the relation between cutting tooth stress and the cutting depth; step 3, analyzing cutting force in a coal breaking process by the cutting tooth; step 4, determining the contact relation between cutting tooth and a coal wall; step 5, calculating the contact area between single cutting tooth and the coal wall in a cutting process; step 6, determining the relation between the cutting tooth contact area and the cutting depth; step 7, calculating the diameter of the cutting tooth body. The cutting force applied to unit size stressed surface of the cutting tooth in a cutting process tends to be equal, so that abrasion of the cutting force is more uniform, the adaptability of the cutting tooth is enhanced, the cutting efficiency of the cutting tooth is improved, the service life is prolonged, the reliability of a coal cutter is improved, a better economic benefit is obtained, and meanwhile, the coal loading effect of a cutting part can be improved.
