The invention relates to a dust falling technique for an underground heading face of a
coal mine, in particular to a dust falling device for the heading face. The dust falling device for the heading face comprises a heading
machine, a spraying device, a
compressed air jetting device and a dust removal
system, wherein a heading
machine rotating head is driven to rotate by the heading
machine through a mechanical arm; the spraying device is used for spraying umbrella-shaped water mist to a
drill bit and the heading face, and additionally, a spraying range outer
contour line is formed; the
compressed air jetting device is used for jetting umbrella-shaped
compressed air to the
drill bit and the heading face, so that the contact opportunity of water mist and dust is increased, an air wall is formed behind the umbrella-shaped water mist, and additionally, a compressed air jetting range outer
contour line is formed; and a dust removal suction port is formed in the dust removal
system, the dust removal suction port is formed between the spraying range outer
contour line and the heading face, and the dust removal
system is used for performing active negative-pressure suction type dust removal on flying dust between the spraying range outer contour line and the heading face. According to the dust falling device, the
working environment of the heading face is improved, and occupational health of underground workers is guaranteed. In addition, the invention further provides a dust falling method for the heading face.
