The second external traction housing 62 is sleeved on the second bearing 61, and the end cover 63 is arranged at the outer end of the second external traction housing 62 for sealing and limiting the second bearing 61.

[0040] Further, in the external traction device of the ultra-thin coal seam shearer of the present invention, a first shaft shoulder 11 and a second shaft shoulder 12 are arranged at the front end of the drive wheel shaft 1. A first limiting platform 13 is arranged between the first shaft shoulder 11 and the second shaft shoulder 12. A spline 14 is arranged in the circumferential direction at one end of the first shaft shoulder 11 close to the first limiting platform 13, and a first annular groove 15 is arranged on one side of the first limiting platform 13 close to the spline 14.

[0041] Further, in the external traction device of the ultra-thin coal seam shearer of the present invention, the sprocket 2 is connected to the drive wheel shaft 1 through the spline 14. The first annular groove 15 matches the inner diameter of the sprocket 2. One end of the sprocket 2 is limited by the first annular groove 15, so as to ensure that the sprocket 2 is limited and fixed on the drive wheel shaft 1, and the sprocket 2 can be driven to rotate when the drive wheel shaft 1 rotates.

[0042] Further, in the external traction device of the ultra-thin coal seam shearer of the present invention, an annular positioning platform 31 is arranged in the middle of the retaining sleeve 3. A second annular groove 81 is arranged at one end of the retaining sleeve 3, and a threaded hole 32 is arranged at the other end of the retaining sleeve 3. The retaining sleeve 3 is in transitional fit with the first shaft shoulder 11. One end of the retaining sleeve 3 abuts against the sprocket 2, and the second annular groove 81 matches the inner diameter of the sprocket 2.

The inner circle of the second transparent cover 54 is rotatably sleeved on the annular positioning table 31. The thickness of the second transparent cover 54 is equal to the width of the annular positioning table 31. Thus, the inner ring of the first bearing 51 is limited by the first transparent cover 53 and the annular positioning table 31, and the outer ring of the first bearing 51 is limited by the second transparent cover 54, effectively ensuring the stability of the first external traction housing 52 during the rotation of the drive wheel shaft 1. The weight of the first external traction housing 52 is borne by the retaining sleeve 3, and at the same time, it is convenient for loading and unloading when disassembling and assembling the sprocket 2.

[0046] Further, to improve the service life of the first bearing 51, sealing rings are provided in the circumferential direction of the outer circle of the first transparent cover 53 and the circumferential direction of the positioning annular table. The sealing gasket in the circumferential direction of the outer circle of the first transparent cover 53 uses a Gleitring, and the sealing gasket in the circumferential direction of the positioning annular table uses a Struthers ring, thereby improving the sealing performance of the first transparent cover 53 and the second transparent cover 54 and ensuring that the lubricating oil inside the first bearing 51 does not leak.

[0047] Further, in the external traction device of the ultra-thin coal seam shearer of the present invention, the guide shoe 4 is in transitional fit with the retaining sleeve 3. One end of the guide shoe 4 abuts against the annular positioning table 31, and a third annular groove 82 is provided at the other end of the guide shoe 4. The third annular groove 82 corresponds to the second annular groove 81 to form an annular groove 8. The annular groove 8 matches the sprocket 2, and the other end of the sprocket 2 is limited and fixed through the annular groove 8. Thus, the sprocket 2 is completely limited and fixed by the guide shoe 4 and the retaining sleeve 3.

[0048] Further, in the external traction device of the ultra-thin coal seam shearer of the present invention, the inner ring of the second bearing 61 is in transitional fit with the second shoulder 12. One end of the inner ring of the first bearing 51 abuts against the first limiting table 13. The outer ring of the second bearing 61 is in transitional fit with the second external traction housing 62. The end cover 63 is connected to the second external traction housing 62 by bolts. An annular boss 64 is provided on the end cover 63, and the annular boss 64 abuts against the outer ring of the second bearing 61, thereby limiting the second bearing 61 and ensuring the stability of the second external traction housing 62 when the drive wheel shaft 1 rotates.

[0049] Further, in the external traction device of the ultra-thin coal seam shearer of the present invention, a first oil passage 521 is machined on the first external traction housing 52, and a second oil passage 621 is machined on the second external traction housing 62. The first oil passage 521 and the second oil passage 621 are connected by an O-ring. Oil holes 9 are provided between the first external traction housing 52 and the first bearing 51 and between the second external traction housing 62 and the second bearing 61. The oil holes 9 are all communicated with the first oil passage 521 and the second oil passage 621, thereby supplying oil to the first bearing 51 and the second bearing 61 and ensuring the service life of the first bearing 51 and the second bearing 61.

[0050] Specifically, during installation, the first external traction assembly 5 and the guide shoe 4 can be assembled with the retaining sleeve 3 first, and then the sprocket 2 and the assembled retaining sleeve 3 are successively installed on the drive wheel shaft 1. After the second external traction assembly 6 is assembled, it is installed on the drive wheel shaft 1. During maintenance, disassembly and assembly can be carried out according to the replaced parts.

[0051] During use, the first external traction housing 52 and the second external traction housing 62 are fixed to the traction box by bolts. When the drive wheel shaft 1 rotates, the first external traction housing 52 and the second external traction housing 62 are kept stable through the first bearing 51 and the second bearing 61 respectively. The drive wheel shaft 1 drives the sprocket 2 to rotate, providing traction for the chain.

[0052] In summary, compared with the prior art, the external traction device of the ultra-thin coal seam shearer of the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: The overall structure of the present invention is compact, facilitating installation and disassembly, effectively shortening the overall length of the sprocket, while improving the force-bearing condition of the sprocket.
