[0046] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0047] The purpose of the present application is to provide a full-face two-time autonomous cutting method for a heading face, so as to solve the problems of high labor intensity of workers, low heading efficiency and inconvenience of backward movement of a machine caused by manual operation and command cutting operation in the prior art.
[0048] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, characteristics and advantages of the present application more apparent and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. In the embodiments, the front-rear direction is parallel to the center line of the roadway, and the left-right direction is perpendicular to the center line of the roadway. In the embodiments, the heading machine is a boom-type heading machine, and other types of heading machines can also be selected by those skilled in the art according to different actual needs. In the embodiments, the points A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J are positions of the heading machine, and the heading machine is simplified as a particle for the convenience of description. In the embodiments, the heading machine excavates to form a left cross section on the left side of the roadway, and excavates to form a right cross section on the right side of the roadway. Figure 1 FIG. 2 shows a moving path of the boom end of the heading machine when cutting the left cross section, and a moving path of the boom end of the heading machine when cutting the right cross section, and other moving paths can also be selected by those skilled in the art.
[0049] With reference to Figures 1 to 3 , the present embodiment provides a full-face two-time autonomous cutting method for a heading face, comprising the following steps:
[0050] S1, at the first side in the roadway, the center line of the heading machine is parallel to the center line of the roadway, and the heading machine autonomously walks forward to the coal wall, and cuts forward, and after cutting to a predetermined depth, step S2 is entered. In this step, the center line of the heading machine is parallel to the center line of the roadway.
[0051] S2, the heading machine retreats to the second side of the roadway, and after the retreat is completed, the center line of the heading machine is parallel to the center line of the roadway, so that the cutting head of the heading machine is opposite the coal wall.
[0052] S3, the heading machine autonomously walks forward to the coal wall, cuts along the cutting path of the section, and after cutting to a predetermined depth, step S4 is entered. In this step, the center line of the heading machine is parallel to the center line of the roadway.
[0053] S4, the heading machine retreats to the first side of the roadway, and after the retreat is completed, the center line of the heading machine is parallel to the center line of the roadway, so that the cutting head of the heading machine is opposite the coal wall.
[0054] Steps S1-S4 are cycled.
[0055] Wherein, the first side is the left side of the roadway, and the second side is the right side of the roadway; or, the first side is the right side of the roadway, and the second side is the left side of the roadway. In this embodiment, the first side is the left side of the roadway, and the second side is the right side of the roadway.
[0056] The working principle of the full-face two-time autonomous cutting method for the heading face in this embodiment is as follows:
[0057] The positions of the left side of the roadway and the right side of the roadway are fixed, and they are symmetrical about the center line of the roadway. Therefore, after each retreat is completed, the perpendicular distance between the heading machine and the center line of the roadway is the same, so that full-face cutting is completed through two-time autonomous cutting. When the heading section area is greater than the actual cutting area of the heading machine, the above-mentioned method of this embodiment can be used to complete the cutting. The steps of the above-mentioned cutting method are fixed, and the heading machine can be completed under the preset program control of the control device, thereby reducing manual operation, solving the problems of high labor intensity of the operation personnel, low heading efficiency, and inconvenience of retreat in the prior art.
[0058] It should be noted that in steps S2 and S4, the route of the retreat can be selected according to actual needs, as long as the position of the heading machine after the retreat is completed is on the left side or the right side of the roadway, and the center line of the heading machine is parallel to the center line of the roadway.
[0059] As a possible example, in the embodiment, step S2 is specifically adjusting the track close to the first side of the roadheader to a reverse speed V1, adjusting the track close to the second side of the roadheader to a reverse speed V2, and making the roadheader retreat along a first circular arc to the center line of the roadway; adjusting the track close to the second side of the roadheader to a reverse speed V1, adjusting the track close to the first side of the roadheader to a reverse speed V2, and making the roadheader retreat along a second circular arc to the second side of the roadway; adjusting the track speed of both sides of the roadheader to zero; the first circular arc and the second circular arc have equal lengths, and V1>V2. Obviously, the first circular arc and the second circular arc are centrally symmetric with the connecting position of the two as the center. Since the center line of the roadheader is parallel to the center line of the roadway at the initial position of the retreat movement, the center line of the roadheader will also be parallel to the center line of the roadway at the final position of the retreat movement.
[0060] As a possible example, in the embodiment, step S4 is specifically adjusting the track close to the second side of the roadheader to a reverse speed V1, adjusting the track close to the first side of the roadheader to a reverse speed V2, and making the roadheader retreat along a third circular arc to the center line of the roadway; adjusting the track close to the first side of the roadheader to a reverse speed V1, adjusting the track close to the second side of the roadheader to a reverse speed V2, and making the roadheader retreat along a fourth circular arc to the first side of the roadway; adjusting the track speed of both sides of the roadheader to zero; the third circular arc and the fourth circular arc have equal lengths.
[0061] As a possible example, in the embodiment, the rear end of the roadheader can be connected to a belt-type transfer machine for conveying coal backward, a belt conveyor self-moving machine tail for conveying coal backward, or an intelligent centralized control center for controlling the roadheader.
[0062] As a possible example, in the embodiment, the roadheader is provided with an inertial navigation system and a control box, and the inertial navigation system is electrically connected with the control box. The inertial navigation system can realize accurate sensing of the body angle, horizontal coordinate and vertical coordinate of the roadheader, accurate positioning of the body relative to the roadway, and sensing of the positional relationship between the roadheader and the roadway. Based on the information provided by the inertial navigation system, the control box controls the forward movement, backward movement and left-right movement of the roadheader. Since the inertial navigation system and the control box are common structures in the field, they will not be described here. According to different actual needs, other types of navigation systems can also be used to provide the positional relationship information between the roadheader and the roadway.
[0063] The cutting method of the embodiment will be described below in the form of a specific example:
[0064] The heading face has a roadway width of 5.6 meters, a height of 3.6 meters, a roadheader length of 11.4 meters, and a body width of 2.84 meters. The blade width is 3 meters, the cutting head length is 0.7 meters, the distance between the equipment mass center and the front end of the cutting head is 5.891 meters, and the distance between the equipment mass center and the rear end of the body is 4.207 meters.
[0065] The second step is to automatically cut from the left side section cutting starting position B point to the left side section cutting end position C point along the cutting path.
[0066] The first step is that the tunneling machine autonomously advances to the left side section cutting starting position B point from the starting position A point by relying on the inertial navigation system.
[0067] The second step is to automatically cut from the left side section cutting starting position B point to the left side section cutting end position C point along the cutting path.
[0068] The third step is to autonomously retreat the tunneling machine to the retreat machine right side end position G point from the left side section cutting end position C point by relying on the inertial navigation system.
[0069] The fourth step is to autonomously advance the tunneling machine to the right side section cutting starting position H point from the retreat machine right side end position G point by relying on the inertial navigation system.
[0070] The fifth step is to automatically cut from the right side section cutting starting position H point to the right side section cutting end position I point.
[0071] The sixth step is to autonomously retreat the tunneling machine to the retreat machine right side end position J point from the right side section cutting end position I point by relying on the inertial navigation system, which is the left side stopping position J point of one cutting cycle, and one cycle of full section twice autonomous cutting is completed.
[0072] For the third step, the tunneling machine retreats from the left side of the roadway to the right side, first taking O1 as the center, moving along the circular arc CE, and then taking O2 as the center, moving along the circular arc EG.
[0073] For the sixth step, the tunneling machine retreats from the right side of the roadway to the left side, first taking O3 as the center, moving along the circular arc IE, and then taking O4 as the center, moving along the circular arc EJ.
[0074] The tunneling machine has three modes of cutting, namely, power frequency, semi-automatic, and full-automatic, and has five cutting gears, namely, first gear, second gear, third gear, fourth gear, and fifth gear. The cutting head can adjust the thrust force and rotational torque to achieve adaptive cutting according to the hardness of the coal and rock. The tunneling machine can set the cutting path trajectory, cutting row number, row distance, and other parameters according to actual needs.
[0075] After the tunneling machine completes the cutting operation, the working equipment in the roadway can be laid on the left side of the roadway, and the right side of the roadway can be used for pedestrians, material transportation, and advancing the anchor rod drilling vehicle to the front for support.
[0076] The principles and implementation manners of the present application are described in the specification by using specific examples, and the above examples are only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea; meanwhile, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present application, the specific implementation manners and application ranges will be changed. In conclusion, the content of the specification should not be understood as a limitation of the present application.
