[0035] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Based on the embodiments in this application, other similar embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall all fall within the scope of protection of this application. In addition, the directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up", "down", "left", "right", etc., are only references to the directions in the drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for illustration rather than to limit the present invention.

[0036] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0037] Embodiment: A shearer and coal mining method for separate mining of coal and gangue, see attached Figure 1 - attached Figure 4, including a fuselage 1, two rocker arms 2 rotatably connected to both ends of the fuselage 1, two main drums 3 respectively rotatably connected to the side of the two rocker arms 2 close to the coal wall, and an auxiliary drum 4 arranged on the side of the fuselage 1 close to the coal wall. The diameter of the main drum 3 is greater than the thickness of the thin coal seam; specifically, the auxiliary drum 4 can be received into the fuselage 1 and can extend out of the fuselage 1. When the auxiliary drum 4 extends out of the fuselage 1, the distance between the end of the auxiliary drum 4 away from the fuselage 1 and the side of the fuselage 1 close to the coal wall is greater than the distance between the end of the main drum 3 close to the coal wall and the side of the fuselage 1 close to the coal wall.

[0038] When collecting raw coal in the thin coal seam, the auxiliary drum 4 is extended out of the fuselage 1, and the auxiliary drum 4 is inserted into the thin coal seam for raw coal mining. Since the distance between the end of the auxiliary drum 4 away from the fuselage 1 and the side of the fuselage 1 close to the coal wall is greater than the distance between the end of the main drum 3 close to the coal wall and the side of the fuselage 1 close to the coal wall, when the auxiliary drum 4 collects raw coal in the thin coal seam, the main drum 3 will not contact the gangue. As the mining progresses, the distance between the main drum 3 and the coal wall shortens. When the main drum 3 is close to the coal wall, the auxiliary drum 4 is received into the fuselage 1, and the two main drums 3 are used to collect the gangue at the top and bottom of the thin coal seam until the gangue is flush with the thin coal seam, and then the auxiliary drum 4 is extended again to mine the thin coal seam. Through the setting of the auxiliary drum 4, the raw coal and the gangue can be collected respectively, so that there is no need to separate the gangue and the raw coal subsequently.

[0039] Specifically, this embodiment further includes a box body 5. The box body 5 is rotatably connected to the fuselage 1 and is located on the side of the fuselage 1 close to the coal wall. The auxiliary drum 4 is located at one end of the box body 5 away from the rotational connection between the box body 5 and the fuselage 1; through the rotation of the box body 5, the axis of the auxiliary drum 4 is parallel to the length direction of the fuselage 1. At this time, when the main drum 3 mines the gangue on the coal wall, the auxiliary drum 4 will not contact the coal wall. When the auxiliary drum 4 is rotated to have its axis parallel to the main drum 3 through the rotation of the box body 5, the distance between the end of the auxiliary drum 4 away from the fuselage 1 and the side of the fuselage 1 close to the coal wall is greater than the distance between the end of the main drum 3 close to the coal wall and the side of the fuselage 1 close to the coal wall, so that the auxiliary drum 4 can independently mine the raw coal in the thin coal seam.

[0040] Specifically, this embodiment further includes a power mechanism 6 and a transmission mechanism 7 arranged in the box body 5. The power mechanism 6 is arranged at one end of the box body 5 close to the connection between the box body 5 and the fuselage 1, and the transmission mechanism 7 is located in the box body 5 and is in transmission connection with the power mechanism 6; at one end of the box body 5 provided with the auxiliary drum 4, there is an output shaft 41. One end of the output shaft 41 extends into the box body 5 and is in transmission connection with the transmission mechanism 7 in the box body 5. The auxiliary drum 4 is sleeved outside the output shaft 41 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft 41 together.

[0041] The power mechanism 6 drives the output shaft 41 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 7, thereby driving the auxiliary drum 4 to rotate through the output shaft 41, realizing the mining of thin coal seams.

[0042] Specifically, the power mechanism 6 is set as an electric motor, and the transmission mechanism 7 is composed of multiple gears. The multiple gears are sequentially meshed with each other. The first-stage gear is in transmission connection with the electric motor, and the last-stage gear is in transmission connection with the output shaft 41; by adjusting the gear ratio, the transmission mechanism 7 can achieve the effect of deceleration.

[0043] Specifically, this embodiment further includes a universal joint 8. One end of the universal joint 8 is fixed on the box body 5, and the other end is fixed on the fuselage 1; through the setting of the universal joint 8, the rotational connection between the box body 5 and the fuselage 1 is realized; specifically, this embodiment further includes an oil cylinder 9, and the oil cylinder 9 is used to drive the box body 5 to rotate on the fuselage 1; specifically, the cylinder block of the oil cylinder 9 is rotationally connected to the fuselage 1 through an ear seat, and the piston rod of the oil cylinder 9 is rotationally connected to the box body 5 through an ear seat; the rotational axis of the cylinder block of the oil cylinder 9 on the fuselage 1 and the rotational axis of the piston rod of the oil cylinder 9 on the box body 5 are also vertically arranged. By the telescopic movement of the piston rod of the oil cylinder 9, the box body 5 can be driven to rotate.

[0044] Specifically, a groove is provided on one side of the fuselage 1 close to the coal wall. The universal joint 8 and the oil cylinder 9 are located in the groove. When the axis of the auxiliary drum 4 is parallel to the length direction of the fuselage 1 through the rotation of the box body 5, the box body 5 and the auxiliary drum 4 are received into the groove.

[0045] The working principle of this coal-gangue separate-mining shearer during use is as follows: When mining raw coal in a thin coal seam, the auxiliary drum 4 is extended from the fuselage 1, and the auxiliary drum 4 is extended into the thin coal seam for raw coal mining. Since the distance between the end of the auxiliary drum 4 far from the fuselage 1 and the side of the fuselage 1 close to the coal wall is greater than the distance between the end of the main drum 3 close to the coal wall and the side of the fuselage 1 close to the coal wall, when the auxiliary drum 4 mines raw coal in the thin coal seam, the main drum 3 will not contact the gangue. As the mining progresses, the distance between the main drum 3 and the coal wall shortens. When the main drum 3 is close to the coal wall, the auxiliary drum 4 is received into the fuselage 1, and the two main drums 3 are used to collect the gangue at the top and bottom of the thin coal seam until the gangue is flush with the thin coal seam, and then the auxiliary drum 4 is extended again to mine the thin coal seam. Through the setting of the auxiliary drum 4, raw coal and gangue can be collected separately, so that there is no need to separate the gangue and raw coal subsequently.

[0046] Embodiment 2: A coal mining method, which applies the coal-gangue separate-mining shearer in Embodiment 1, includes the following steps:

[0047] Raw coal mining: The oil cylinder 9 drives the box body 5 to rotate, so that the auxiliary drum 4 extends from the fuselage 1, and the auxiliary drum 4 is used to mine the raw coal in the thin coal seam;

[0048] Gangue collection: The oil cylinder 9 drives the box body 5 to rotate, so that the auxiliary roller 4 is received into the fuselage 1, and the main roller 3 is used to mine the gangue at the top and bottom of the thin coal seam until the gangue layer is flush with the thin coal seam to provide a space for the shearer to feed.

[0049] The two steps of raw coal mining and gangue collection are carried out cyclically.

[0050] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the idea of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, several improvements and refinements made without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
