When the rear swing arm of the running direction of this thin coal seam suspension machine body coal winning machine is on the cutter, the problem of the rear drum mining height is too small will appear, because when mining height increases, rear swing arm cutting motor will interfere with the upper coal table left by the front drum cutting bottom knife, so the overall mining height of this coal winning machine is too narrow, cannot adapt to the mining requirements of the large thickness variation of thin coal seam working face in our country.
[0003] In view of the above problems, the industry has proposed that the cutting part is a swing part and a fixed part, and the cutting motor and the main part of the cutting transmission system are arranged in the fixed part, which leads to the structure of the fixed part being too complex, the length of the machine body suspension section being too long, the weight being too large, and the gravity center of the whole machine still having a great influence on the stress of the whole machine. Moreover, the structure of the driving oil cylinder of the swing arm arranged on the left or right side of the cutting motor on the machine body makes the machine body too long, and the long machine body structure cannot perform the straight pushing cutter process similar to the short wall coal winning machine, and the time of two-end oblique cutting is long, which has certain restriction on the mining efficiency.

[0023] The setting of the height-adjusting oil cylinder below the swing arm shell further reduces the space occupation in the left-right direction, which provides a guarantee for realizing the compact structure of the short fuselage coal mining machine. Due to the shortening of the left-right length of the suspended fuselage section, the gravity center of the whole machine can be offset to the rear, and the stress stability of the whole machine is improved. Moreover, the shortening of the fuselage makes the coal mining machine convenient to perform the straight pushing cutter process similar to the shortwall coal mining machine, thereby improving the mining efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] The present application discloses a swing arm of a compact coal mining machine for thin coal seams (which can be simply referred to as swing arm), as shown in Figures 1-5 As shown, the swing arm housing 11 including the swing arm 1, the main body of the swing arm housing is the left and right extending arm frame 113, the rear stage cutting transmission mechanism 12 is installed in the arm frame, in order to distinguish the two ends of the arm frame, the input end gear 121 (also the high speed end gear) and the output end gear (also the low speed end gear) of the rear stage cutting transmission mechanism are called the high speed end and the low speed end of the arm frame respectively. The middle part of the arm frame is provided with a connecting arm 114 which is suspended from the arm frame to the front, and the connecting arm is provided with a front arm 111 which is suspended from the connecting arm to the left or to the right, that is, for the right swing arm housing of the coal mining machine, the front arm is suspended from the connecting arm to the left; for the left swing arm housing of the coal mining machine, the front arm is suspended from the connecting arm to the right. The rear of the high speed end of the arm frame is provided with a rear arm 112 which is a cantilever structure connected to the arm frame at one end. The front arm and the rear arm are respectively provided with front and rear hinged connection holes, and the front and rear hinged connection holes and the input end gear are coaxial. The front arm and the rear arm form front and rear hinged connection points with the body of the coal mining machine through the front and rear hinged connection holes respectively. The lower part of the connecting arm is provided with a semi-closed oil cylinder outer containing cavity 1144, and the oil cylinder outer containing cavity is provided with an oil cylinder outer pin hole 1145 for hinged height adjustment oil cylinder on the front and rear cavity walls, and the axis of the oil cylinder outer pin hole extends forward and backward.
[0033] The oil cylinder outer pin hole is close to the low speed end of the arm frame in the left and right direction, and the inner surface of the oil cylinder outer containing cavity close to the low speed end of the arm frame is set as an inner concave circular cylindrical surface 1146 coaxial with the oil cylinder outer pin hole. In the installed state, the corresponding end outer surface of the height adjustment oil cylinder and the inner concave circular cylindrical surface 1146 form a gap with equal width, which is narrow enough not to affect the swing of the height adjustment oil cylinder, and also will not cause the coal powder to enter and cause blockage.
[0034] The arm frame is preferably provided with a rear protruding raised structure 115 at a position close to the root of the rear arm, which improves the connection strength of the rear arm and the arm frame. The internal cavity of the raised structure is an auxiliary cavity, which is part of the inner cavity of the arm frame, and increases the oil storage volume of the oil cavity of the arm frame.
[0035] The connecting arm is provided with an inner cavity 1143 which is communicated with the inner cavity of the arm frame, and increases the oil storage volume in the swing arm housing. The inner cavity of the connecting arm is provided with a reinforced cooler 16 for reinforcing the cooling of the oil cavity to improve the cooling effect of the high power density swing arm. The reinforced cooler can be provided with a plurality of cooling pipes 162 which can be connected in series or in parallel. Figure 5 The reinforced cooler shown is two parallel cooling pipes 162, and 161 is the common water inlet of the two cooling pipes.
[0036] The input end gear and the output end gear of the rear stage cutting transmission mechanism are one or more idlers which are sequentially and externally meshed.
[0037] The outer surface 1111 of the overhanging end of the front arm, the outer surface 1131 of the high-speed end of the arm support, and the outer surface 1121 of the overhanging end of the rear arm are arranged as a first set of convex circular arc cylindrical surfaces coaxial with the front hinge connection hole, and the corresponding positions of the machine body where the arm support is hinged are arranged as a first set of concave circular arc cylindrical surfaces coaxial with the hinge axes of the front and rear hinges, the first set of concave circular arc cylindrical surfaces correspond to the first set of convex circular arc cylindrical surfaces one by one and are spaced from each other, on the one hand, the free swing of the swing arm is not affected, and on the other hand, as long as the size of the spacing is reasonably controlled, the accumulation of coal and rock into the swing arm housing and the machine body can be effectively controlled, and the smooth swing is ensured.
[0038] Similarly, the side surface 1141 of the connecting arm near the high-speed end of the arm support is arranged as a second set of concave circular arc cylindrical surfaces coaxial with the front hinge connection hole. Correspondingly, the overhanging end outer surface of the ear seat on the machine body for being hinged with the swing arm is arranged as a second set of convex circular arc cylindrical surfaces coaxial with the front hinge connection hole, and the surface and the side surface of the connecting arm near the high-speed end of the arm support are spaced from each other.
[0039] The middle and upper part of the connecting arm is the narrowest in left and right width, and the closer to the upper and lower ends, the wider the left and right width, especially the lower part, which is used for arranging the outer oil cylinder accommodating cavity, and the whole connecting arm forms a flat and thin structure. The narrowest part in left and right width is preferably the same height as the front hinge connection hole. The top surface of the connecting arm is inclined, and the closer to the high-speed end of the arm support, the higher the top surface of the connecting arm in left and right direction. The flat and thin structure of the connecting arm and the special inclined surface structure make the swing arm housing swing up and down without affecting the upper coal table, so that a large mining range can be ensured.
[0040] The front side of the low-speed end of the arm support is provided with a planetary reduction mechanism 122, and the planetary reduction mechanism is coaxially sleeved with a drum 13. The sun gear of the planetary reduction mechanism is coaxially splined connected with the output gear, and the planetary carrier of the planetary reduction mechanism is fixedly connected with the connecting sleeve of the drum.
[0041] The side surface 1142 of the connecting arm near the low-speed end of the arm support is arranged as a concave circular arc cylindrical surface coaxial with the output gear, and the concave circular arc cylindrical surface can keep a certain gap with the drum blades, thereby improving the loading effect of the drum screw conveyor.
[0042] The front hinge connection hole and the rear hinge connection hole are both provided with a sliding bearing 14. Most of the load at the hinge is borne by the sliding bearing, which can well protect the swing arm housing, the machine body housing, and the cutting motor from being affected or less affected, and maintain the connection reliability.
[0043] The sliding bearing preferably adopts a knuckle bearing, which has large load capacity, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and self-aligning. The knuckle bearing helps to maintain the coaxiality between the front and rear knuckle connection holes and the output gear of the front cutting transmission mechanism and the input gear of the rear cutting transmission mechanism.
[0044] A wear-reducing layer 143 is preferably arranged between the inner ring 141 and the outer ring 142 of the knuckle bearing to reduce the wear of the sliding pair of the bearing. A sealing seat 144 is arranged at the radially outer side of the inner ring, the front and rear ends of the outer ring, respectively. A sealing groove is arranged on the radially inner hole surface of the sealing seat, and a sealing ring 145 is arranged in the sealing groove to seal between the sealing seat and the inner ring. The inner ring 141 is fixed circumferentially with the corresponding knuckle pin shaft through a flat key 146. The use of the knuckle bearing can improve the service life of the sliding pair and help to improve the transmission accuracy between the front and rear cutting transmission mechanisms.
[0045] The core of the input gear is provided with a rear spline hole, and a spline sleeve 124 with inner and outer splines is arranged in the rear spline hole. The rear part of the spline sleeve is coupled with the front spline of a spline shaft 123. The spline shaft and the spline sleeve are used to connect the front cutting transmission mechanism and the rear cutting transmission mechanism, and the front cutting transmission mechanism is arranged in the fuselage. The front cutting transmission mechanism, the spline shaft, the spline sleeve and the rear cutting transmission mechanism are all coupled by splines. The use of the spline coupling structure with side clearance at multiple positions can significantly increase the radial floating amount. Since the related parts forming the spline coupling structure can automatically center, even if the coaxiality of the front and rear knuckles is reduced due to wear, the impact on the power transmission between the front and rear cutting transmission mechanisms is relatively small, and thus the power transmission reliability is improved.
[0046] The front and rear knuckle connection points are arranged in front of and behind the power transmission connection point between the front and rear cutting transmission mechanisms. The radial displacement of the two knuckle connection points due to wear has less impact on the power transmission connection point located therebetween, and thus the impact on the transmission accuracy is reduced.
[0047] Unless otherwise specified, the front and rear in this article refer to the direction close to the coal wall and the direction away from the coal wall, respectively.
