Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coal shearers, and particularly to a cutting unit for steeply inclined coal seams and a steeply inclined coal seam shearer having the cutting unit. Background Art

[0002] The coal mining industry is the most basic energy industry in China. With the continuous improvement of the industrial mechanization level in China, it has strongly promoted the rapid development of the coal mining machinery industry. Most coal mines in China have generally used coal cutting machines for mechanized coal mining production operations, which has positive significance for reducing the labor intensity of coal miners, improving the production environment of the coal mining face, increasing the production progress, ensuring safe production and the product quality of the finished coal.

[0003] The equipment level of coal mining machinery is one of the important indicators of the coal mine technology level. With the development of coal mining machinery, it is necessary to continuously develop cutting unit coal shearers for steeply inclined coal seams to meet the needs of different coal seam geological conditions. The selection of coal mining machinery depends on the occurrence conditions of the coal seams.

[0004] In view of the above problems, the Chinese patent document discloses "A downcutting machine for steeply inclined coal seams" (Publication No. CN204186385U, Publication Date: March 4, 2015), which discloses a downcutting machine for steeply inclined coal seams. It includes a traction unit, a motor, a transmission part, a rocker arm and a lower cutting depth adjustment device; the transmission part includes a transmission box body, a transmission connecting shaft inside the transmission box body, and a transmission device. The transmission part is connected to a number of rocker arms through the transmission device, and the rotating device corresponds to each rocker arm one by one. Each rocker arm is respectively connected to a number of drums; the traction unit is connected to a traction device to drive the entire downcutting machine to move. When this technology is actually used, there are the following problems. Since drums are symmetrically connected to both sides of each rocker arm, there is no coal cutting function under the rocker arm between the two drums; after the drums cut the coal, the coal remaining under the rocker arm will block the rocker arm, making the rocker arm unable to cut down normally. As a result, the coal shearer cannot carry out the coal cutting work normally, leading to a reduction in the coal cutting efficiency / inability to cut coal. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology to ensure the coal cutting efficiency of the coal shearer.

[0005] At the same time, due to the relatively complex mechanical structure, high price of the machine, high operation and maintenance management costs, and large volume of the existing coal shearers, the existing coal cutting machines all belong to large-scale mechanical equipment and have great limitations in use. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a steeply inclined coal seam shearer that is suitable for the exploitation of steeply inclined coal seams in China and suitable for coal mining production operations in medium and small coal mines. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. A small roller is connected to the lower part of the rocker arm in a transmission manner and is arranged along the length direction of the rocker arm housing and is equal to the length of the lower part of the arm housing. This technical measure can clean the coal under the rocker arm and ensure that the rocker arm can cut normally, thereby ensuring the normal operation of coal mining and the efficiency of coal mining.

[0020] 2. The transmission mechanism of the present invention includes a first gear transmission mechanism arranged in the casing and matched with the output shaft of the cutting motor, a second gear transmission mechanism and a third gear transmission mechanism arranged in the rocker housing; a spline matched with the third gear transmission mechanism is arranged at one end of the small drum; the rocker connecting shaft forms a transmission connection with the second gear transmission mechanism; the first gear transmission mechanism drives the second gear transmission mechanism and the third gear transmission mechanism through the transmission connecting shaft to drive the drum and the small drum to rotate. With this technical measure, the small drum and the large drum share a cutting motor while ensuring that the small drum can work stably. The structure is simple and the stability is high. At the same time, it avoids adding a new motor, thereby effectively reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0021] 3. The small drum body of the present invention is cylindrical, and is provided with multiple groups of first picks at intervals along the axis direction, and each first pick is perpendicular to the axis. A gap is provided between the first pick and the rocker housing. This technical measure can prevent coal blocks from getting stuck between the first picks.

The second pick can prevent the gap between the first pick and the mounting seat from being stuck by coal blocks, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the small drum and thus ensuring the working efficiency of coal mining.

[0024] 6. The small roller of the present invention comprises a second roller provided with a second pick and a first roller provided with a first pick, and the second roller is detachably connected to the first roller. The adoption of this technical measure facilitates batch manufacturing and later segmented maintenance. When replacement is required, only one of the rollers needs to be replaced separately.

By adopting this technical measure, the coal below the rocker arm 13 can be cleared, ensuring that the rocker arm 13 can cut normally downward, thereby ensuring the normal operation of coal mining and ensuring the coal mining efficiency. It has the technical advantages of simple structure and high working efficiency. Among them, the middle part of the end of the housing 11 is in a concave shape, and the rocker arm 13 is installed in the groove of the housing 11. The lower cutting depth adjustment device 4 is a hydraulic cylinder device connected between the outer surface of the rocker arm housing 133 and the outer surface of the housing 11. Specifically, one end of the lower cutting depth adjustment device 4 is connected to the upper part of the front end of the rocker arm housing 133, and the other end is hinged to the upper part of the front end of the housing 11.

[0039] Specifically, the transmission mechanism includes a first gear transmission mechanism 111 arranged in the housing 11 and cooperating with the output shaft of the cutting motor 12, a transmission connecting shaft 15 provided with transmission teeth, a second gear transmission mechanism 131 and a third gear transmission mechanism 53 arranged in the rocker arm housing 133; one end of the small drum 5 is provided with a spline cooperating with the third gear transmission mechanism 53; the rocker arm connecting shaft 132 is in transmission connection with the second gear transmission mechanism 131; the first gear transmission mechanism 111 drives the second gear transmission mechanism 131 and the third gear transmission mechanism 53 through the transmission connecting shaft 15, driving the drum 14 and the small drum 5 to rotate.

[0040] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, the first gear transmission mechanism 111 includes transmission gears Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, and Z5; the transmission gear Z1 meshes with the output shaft of the cutting motor 12. The second gear transmission mechanism 131 includes transmission gears Z7, Z8, and Z9; the transmission gear Z9 drives the large drums 14 on both sides. The third gear transmission mechanism 53 includes transmission gears Z10, Z11, Z12, and Z13; Z13 drives the small drum 5. The transmission gears Z5, Z7, and Z10 are respectively in transmission connection with the transmission connection shaft 15 provided with the transmission gear Z6. The third gear transmission mechanism 53 is arranged below the transmission connection shaft 15. When the cutting motor 12 is started, the first gear transmission mechanism 111 drives the second gear transmission mechanism 131 and the third gear transmission mechanism 53 through the transmission connection shaft 15, driving the drum 14 and the small drum 5 to rotate. By adopting this technical measure, on the premise of ensuring the stable operation of the small drum 5, the small drum 5 and the large drum 14 share a cutting motor 12, which has a simple structure and high stability. At the same time, adding a new motor is avoided, thus reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0041] As Figure 2 shown, the body of the small drum 5 is cylindrical, and a plurality of groups of first cutting teeth 511 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction, and each first cutting tooth 511 is perpendicular to the axis. Specifically, there are 9 groups of first cutting teeth 511, and each group consists of 4 to 6 first cutting teeth 511. In actual use, there is a gap between the first cutting teeth 511 and the rocker arm housing 133. By adopting this technical measure, it can prevent coal blocks from getting stuck between the first cutting teeth 511.

[0042] As Figure 2 shown, the end of the small drum 5 away from the spline is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 6 provided on the rocker arm housing 133; the mounting seat 6 is provided with a bearing 61 that cooperates with the end of the small drum 5, and the mounting seat 6 is connected to the rocker arm housing 133 by a detachable connection structure.

[0043] Specifically, the mounting base 6 is integrally L-shaped. Its horizontal section is connected to the rocker arm housing 133 by bolts, and its vertical section is provided with a bearing 61 that mates with the end of the small drum 5. The horizontal section and the vertical section form an L-shaped angle 62. During actual use, due to the existence of the L-shaped angle 62, there is a problem that the gap between the first pick 511 and the mounting base 6 may be blocked by coal pieces. Therefore, at least one second pick 521 that is inclined toward the L-shaped angle 62 of the mounting base 6 and has a clearance fit with the L-shaped angle 62 is provided on the small drum 5. By providing the second pick 521, it is possible to prevent the gap between the first pick 511 and the mounting base 6 from being blocked by coal pieces, ensure the normal operation of the small drum 5, and thus ensure the working efficiency of coal mining.

The second drum 52 and the first drum 51 are detachably connected. During actual use, the cross-section of the second drum 52 is T-shaped. The second drum 52 is sleeved on one end of the first drum 51 and fixed by bolts. By adopting this technical measure, it is convenient for batch manufacturing and subsequent sectional maintenance. When replacement is required, only one of the drums 14 needs to be replaced separately.
