Embodiment Construction

[0012] According to an aspect of the present invention, with reference to these drawings, figure 1 A portion of a continuous mining machine (ie, a formation cutting assembly), generally designated 10 , is shown. The continuous mining machine 10 includes a first rotatable cutting drum 14 exhibiting a plurality of cutting tools (or drill points) 16 arranged in, for example, a helical pattern. The continuous mining machine 10 further comprises a second rotatable cutting drum 18 which also exhibits a plurality of cutting tools (or drill tips) 16 arranged eg in a helical pattern. The first cutting drum 14 is spaced apart from the second cutting drum 18 but can still be considered adjacent thereto. The cutting drums 14 , 18 are operatively connected to an electric motor 20 which drives the rotatable cutting drums 14 , 18 . A core breaker 22 is positioned between the first cutting drum 14 and the second cutting drum 18 .

Abstract

The present invention relates to a core breaker for use with a continuous mining machine used to cut earth strata, wherein the continuous mining machine has at least two spaced apart cutting drums whereby the cutting drums cuts the earth strata leaving a core. The core breaker includes an elongate support positioned mediate of the two cutting drums. The elongate support includes a channel formed therein. The core breaker further includes a plurality of tool components attached to the elongate support. The core breaker also includes a plurality of spray nozzles positioned adjacent to the tool components. In one aspect, the plurality of spray nozzles each have a first end in fluid communication with the channel formed in the elongate support and a second end positioned adjacent an outer surface of the elongate support. The tool components may be a breaker wedge or a cutting tool such as a conical bit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a core breaker for use with a formation cutting assembly such as, for example, a continuous mining machine. More specifically, the present invention relates to a core breaker for use with such formation cutting assemblies, wherein the core breaker incorporates a dust suppression system. Background technique [0002] As noted above, one example of a formation cutting assembly is a continuous mining machine. A continuous mining machine typically includes rotatable cutting drums that are advanced to engage the formation (eg, coal in a sediment layer) and cut or saw it into pieces. US Patent No. 3,712,679 to Amoroso shows a continuous mining machine. The stratum (eg, coal) that is cut or sawn from the coal seam falls onto the ground of the mine and is then processed in a suitable manner to remove it from the vicinity of the continuous mining machine. In a typical continuous mining machine, the cutting drums are spaced so...
