DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The present application discloses a swing arm housing 11 (may be simply referred to as swing arm housing) of a thin seam coal mining machine, as shown in Figures 1-5 ​​As shown, the main body of the arm support 113 is a left and right extending arm support, and a transmission cavity for mounting the cutting transmission mechanism is arranged in the arm support. The two ends of the transmission cavity are respectively provided with an input end gear mounting hole 1132 and an output end gear mounting hole. The cutting transmission mechanism adopts a fixed shaft gear transmission mechanism. In order to distinguish the two ends of the arm support, the input end gear mounting hole and the output end gear mounting hole are respectively referred to as the high speed end and the low speed end of the arm support. The input end gear mounting hole and the output end gear mounting hole are respectively used for mounting the input end gear and the output end gear of the cutting transmission mechanism. The middle part of the arm support is provided with a connecting arm 114 which is suspended forward from the arm support. The connecting arm is provided with a front arm 111 and a rear arm 112 which are suspended leftward or rightward from the connecting arm. The front arm, the rear arm and the high speed end of the arm support are arranged in sequence from front to back and are parallel to each other. For the right oscillating arm shell of the coal mining machine, the front arm and the rear arm are suspended leftward from the connecting arm. For the left oscillating arm shell of the coal mining machine, the front arm and the rear arm are suspended rightward from the connecting arm. The front arm and the rear arm are respectively provided with a front pin shaft mounting hole 1112 and a rear pin shaft mounting hole 1122 for mounting the cutting motor as a pin shaft. The front pin shaft mounting hole and the rear pin shaft mounting hole are coaxial with the input end gear mounting hole, so as to ensure that the cutting motor is coaxial with the input end gear after installation and transmits power. The oscillating arm shell can be connected with the body of the coal mining machine through the front arm, the rear arm and the cutting motor, which not only shortens the left and right lengths of the suspended body of the coal mining machine, but also simplifies the structure of the cutting mechanism.

[0034] The connecting arm is a flat and thin structure with a left and right width smaller than an upper and lower height. 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 the left and right directions. The connecting arm with the above structure has little effect on the coal table above during the up and down oscillation of the oscillating arm shell, so that the mining range of the whole oscillating arm can be large.

[0035] The connecting arm is provided with an inner cavity, and the inner cavity 1143 of the connecting arm is communicated with the inner cavity of the arm support. The inner cavity of the connecting arm increases the oil storage volume in the oscillating arm shell. A plurality of mounting positions of the reinforced coolers are arranged in the inner cavity of the connecting arm in an upper and lower parallel manner. Each mounting position of the reinforced coolers includes two mounting holes 1144 in front and back. By connecting a plurality of reinforced coolers in series, the cooling length is increased, the narrow oil pool can be reinforced and cooled, and the cooling effect of the high power density oscillating arm is improved. The shell wall of the connecting arm is provided with a communication hole 1146 and a cooling water outlet 1145. The communication hole is used for communicating the inner cavities of the arm support and the connecting arm. The outlet of the last reinforced cooler in series is connected with the cooling water outlet 1145.

[0036] The middle part of the arm support is provided with a protruding structure which protrudes rearward. The inner cavity of the protruding structure is an auxiliary cavity 115 which is part of the inner cavity of the arm support. The auxiliary cavity not only increases the oil cavity of the arm support, but also increases the shell strength of the arm support.

[0037] The overhanging end outer surface 1111 of the front arm, the overhanging end outer surface 1121 of the rear arm and the high speed end outer surface 1131 of the arm support are all set as convex circular cylindrical surfaces coaxial with the front pin shaft mounting hole. The corresponding edges of the shearer body can be set as concave circular cylindrical surfaces coaxial with the front pin shaft mounting hole. By controlling the gap width between the convex circular cylindrical surface and the corresponding concave circular cylindrical surface within a proper range, the coal and rock accumulation between the swing arm shell and the shearer body can be effectively controlled during the rotation of the swing arm shell relative to the shearer body.

[0038] Similarly, the side surface 1141 of the connecting arm near the high speed end of the arm support is set as a concave circular cylindrical surface coaxial with the front pin shaft mounting hole. The overhanging end outer surface of the corresponding lug seat on the shearer body can be set as a convex circular cylindrical surface coaxial with the front pin shaft mounting hole. By controlling the gap width between the concave circular cylindrical surface and the corresponding convex circular cylindrical surface within a proper range, the coal and rock accumulation between the swing arm shell and the shearer body can also be effectively controlled during the rotation of the swing arm shell relative to the shearer body.

[0039] The high speed end outer surface 1131 of the arm support is also set as a convex circular cylindrical surface coaxial with the input end gear mounting hole. The corresponding edge position on the shearer body is also set as a concave circular cylindrical surface. The convex circular cylindrical surface and the concave circular cylindrical surface are kept apart.

[0040] The side surface 1142 of the connecting arm near the low speed end of the arm support is preferably set as a concave circular cylindrical surface coaxial with the output end gear mounting hole. The concave circular cylindrical surface can keep a certain gap with the drum blade, improving the loading effect of the drum screw conveyor.

[0041] An oil cylinder hinging seat 1110 can also be set on the overhanging end of the front arm for installing a height adjusting oil cylinder between the swing arm shell and the shearer body. The extension and retraction of the height adjusting oil cylinder can drive the swing arm shell to swing up and down.

[0042] The external load force received by the drum is transmitted to the shearer body through the connecting arm, the front arm and the rear arm. The front arm and the rear arm are force receiving parts, and the high speed end of the arm support is a non-force receiving part. The force receiving parts and the non-force receiving part are separated, which can ensure that the transmission part located in the arm support is in a good non-force receiving state, thus helping to improve the transmission accuracy.

[0043] The front end surface 1113 of the front arm, the rear end surface 1114 of the front arm, the front end surface 1123 of the rear arm and the rear end surface 1124 of the rear arm are planes perpendicular to the axis of the front pin shaft mounting hole. These planes correspond to the corresponding end planes of the three lug seats extending in the left-right direction on the shearer body, for realizing the axial limiting of the swing arm shell relative to the shearer body. The front and rear end surfaces 1113 and 1114 of the front arm also simultaneously serve to close the oil cylinder mounting cavity.

[0044] A set of bearings can be installed in the front pin shaft mounting hole and the rear pin shaft mounting hole respectively, the outer ring of the bearings is fixed relative to the front pin shaft mounting hole and the rear pin shaft mounting hole, for example, a tight fit can be used, or a key connection can be used. The bearings are used to support the cutting motor, so that the front arm and the rear arm can rotate relative to the cutting motor. The load at the hinge is mostly borne by the bearings, which can well protect the swing arm shell, the fuselage shell and the cutting motor from being affected or less affected, and maintain the connection reliability.

[0045] The bearings are preferably knuckle bearings, which have large load capacity, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and self-aligning. The use of knuckle bearings helps to maintain the concentricity between the front pin shaft mounting hole and the rear pin shaft mounting hole and the outer shell of the cutting motor.

[0046] The low-speed end of the boom is inclined downward relative to other parts of the boom, and an arch-shaped structure with the bottom surface drawn upward is formed at the middle of the boom in the left-right direction and close to the low-speed end of the boom, the arch-shaped structure encloses a semi-closed opening, the inner side of the opening includes the bottom surface 1162 of the vault, two outer convex circular arc cylindrical surfaces 1161 and 1163 located on the left and right sides of the vault, and the outer convex circular arc cylindrical surface 1161 is arranged on the outer surface of the low-speed end of the boom. The inner side of the opening and the side surface 1142 close to the low-speed end of the boom on the connecting arm enclose a loading channel. The loading channel increases the path of coal and rock into the conveyor, which is beneficial to the diversion of coal and rock, thereby improving the loading effect. The side surface 1142 close to the low-speed end of the boom is preferably coaxial with the output end gear.

[0047] Unless specifically specified, the front and the rear in this article refer to the direction close to the coal wall and the direction away from the coal wall respectively.
