Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coal mine intelligentization, and more particularly, to a face-intermediate coal pillar mining robot. Background Art

[0002] At present, the reserved width of the face-intermediate coal pillar in underground coal mines during longwall mining is generally 20 - 50 m. After the working face is mined, the coal pillar generally cannot be recovered, resulting in a low recovery rate of coal resources. How to recover the coal pillar, improve the recovery rate of coal resources and the economic benefits of coal mines is a hot and difficult issue in current mining research. Among them, ensuring that the face-intermediate coal pillar is cut into a rectangular roadway and can be accurately positioned in real time to achieve automated operation is an important research direction in the coal mining industry. Therefore, researching the face-intermediate coal pillar mining robot has very important practical significance. Mining and excavation equipment is a key equipment in underground mining, directly affecting the progress and quality of roadway excavation. Nowadays, most of the coal mining and excavation equipment in underground coal mines are roadheader-anchoring machines, long-arm shearers, short-arm shearers, continuous miners, etc.

[0003] For example, a protective layer mining robot proposed in the prior art CN113833462A and a thin coal seam mining robot disclosed in CN113738355A both place the vehicle body in the roadway and cut thin coal seams of different thicknesses by controlling the swing of the rocker arm. The vehicle body needs to frequently change the working face, resulting in low efficiency. Moreover, during the process of continuously extending the length of the spiral conveyor blade in the feeding mechanism to mine coal inside, the real-time continuous high efficiency of transportation still cannot be achieved. At the same time, the placement position of the vehicle body requires complex pipeline erection to meet the requirements of mining and excavation positioning and is difficult to be directly applied to the underground face-intermediate coal pillar environment. Its "separation of mining and transportation" mode leads to fragmented processes and low mining efficiency, unable to meet the requirements of integrated parallel operations of tunneling, support, and filling in underground coal mines.

[0004] Based on the current development status of coal mining and excavation equipment in underground coal mines, researching an automatic cutting system for face-intermediate coal pillars to realize the automation of the coal mining and excavation system in underground coal mines is of great significance for improving the tunneling and mining efficiency in underground coal mines and the extraction rate of coal.

During the cutting process, the guiding sliding shoes 231 and the pin row type guide rail 14 interact with each other to ensure the stability of the cutting system 21 during cutting.

[0049] The mining robot 2 is installed on the right-angle turning scraper conveyor 1. The cutting system 21 is located above the fuselage 216 of the mining robot.

[0052] As Figure 9 shown, in this embodiment, in the cutting process of the mining robot, the cutting of a large working face is divided into the cutting of several small working faces, and the cutting process methods of each small working face are the same; when cutting any small working face, the following steps are included:

[0053] Step 1: Inspection and initialization of the face-intermediate coal pillar mining robot: When it is judged by the controller that the signals of all sensors are normal, the mining robot is moved to the initial position, and the inspection and initialization of the face-intermediate coal pillar mining robot are completed.

[0054] Step 2: Determination of the number of cutting working faces of the face-intermediate coal pillar mining robot: The working face is divided into several small working faces according to the relationship between the roadway width and the cutting width of the mining robot.

[0055] Step 3: Lifting the cutting tool of the cutting system: The movable slide 214 is driven to move forward by the feeding electric cylinder 216, and the cutting drum 212 is driven by the height-adjusting electric cylinder 215 to reach the predetermined first working position. At the same time, the stroke limit switch on the oil cylinder controls the relative position between the mining robot and the working face to be mined to avoid collision.

[0056] Step 4: Feed the cutting system: Start the cutting drum, star wheel loading mechanism, and scraper conveyor in sequence. After reaching the predetermined speed, the height-adjusting electric cylinder 215 and the feeding electric cylinder 216 drive the cutting drum 212 to perform a combined movement, and complete the cutting of a small working face from top to bottom.

[0057] Step 5: Sweep the bottom of the cutting system: Adjust the drum to sweep the fallen coal into the star wheel loading mechanism. After the cutting of a small working face is completed, the cutting system 21 resets.

After completing the cutting of the entire working face, the hydraulic support at the rear pushes the entire working face forward by one cut distance in the direction of the working face advancement in the way of "pushing the scraper conveyor and moving the support", that is, complete the mining of the entire face in the way of "transverse tunneling and sectional cutting".

[0060] Step 8: Repeat the above steps.

[0061] In this embodiment, the related supporting components include an electric control integrated box 241, sensors 242, a remote controller, and wire and pipe consumables; the electric control integrated box 241 is located behind the fuselage 24 of the mining robot, connects to the cable, steps down the voltage to supply power to each electrical appliance and provides safety protection, and the controller, sensors 242, and the remote controller jointly complete the intelligent control of the robot and the monitoring of the system status.
