[0002] The thin coal seam reserves in China account for about 18% of the total coal reserves in China. Since the thin coal seams are mostly located in the edge zone of the coalfield, the occurrence conditions are complex, and geological structures such as faults, folds, undulations and parting are often present in the thin coal seam working face. Moreover, since the mining height is mostly below 1.5 m, the space is narrow, and the thin coal seam equipment is required to have higher strength and a more flexible structure. Although the existing thin coal seam coal mining machine can meet the cutting of the thin coal seam in height, the overall structure is relatively complex due to the influence of the traditional coal mining machine design, which increases the failure points of the coal mining machine, and the machine body direction is relatively long, which requires wider transportation roadway and ventilation roadway, increases the tunneling cost, and the long machine body needs to be constantly adjusted to cut the triangular coal at both ends of the coal mining working face, which increases the cutting time.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0029] The embodiment provides a thin seam inner rocker arm type coal mining machine, which comprises a coal mining machine body 1, a driving device, a transmission device, a rocker arm 401, a rocker arm driving part, a cutting drum and a support sliding shoe assembly.

[0030] The coal mining machine body 1 is the body of the whole coal mining machine, and a coal passing window 101 is arranged along a central axis line.

[0031] The driving device is installed in the coal mining machine body 1 and located at a mined-out side (A side) of the coal mining machine body 1.

[0032] The two groups of rocker arms 401 are vertically rotatably installed on the coal mining machine body 1 and symmetrically arranged at two sides of the coal passing window 101.

[0033] The rocker arm 401 is driven to rotate by the rocker arm driving part.

[0037] Both the bearings III are single-row roller bearings.

[0038] The planetary reducer is a two-stage planetary reducer 316, which plays a role of speed reduction and torque increase, and the shell is fixedly connected with the rocker arm 401.

[0039] The working process of the transmission device is as follows:

[0040] The double-output motor 2 can output torque in opposite directions to two ends with the same rotating speed, and the transmission of the output torque of the double-output motor 2 to the coal wall side direction is realized through the torque shaft 301, the bevel gear I 302 and the bevel gear II 304, the transmission of the output torque to the inside (the center direction of the double-output motor 2) is realized through the primary gear 310, the secondary gear 311 and the tertiary gear, and the transmission of the output torque to the coal wall side is realized through the spline gear 315 and the planetary reducer.

[0041] When the rocker arm 401 rotates, the primary gear 310 does not rotate, the secondary gear 311 rotates around the primary gear 310, the inner ring of the bearing III is fixed, and the outer ring rotates around the transmission shaft 306 with the rocker arm 401. When the rocker arm 401 does not rotate, the outer ring of the bearing III is fixed, and the inner ring rotates with the transmission shaft 306.

[0042] The bottom of the shearer body 1 is also provided with slide shoe assemblies, namely a left front slide shoe assembly 701, a left rear slide shoe assembly 702, a right front slide shoe assembly 703 and a right rear slide shoe assembly 704, which support the shearer and enable the shearer to move relative to the scraper conveyor.

[0043] The arrangement mode of the transversely arranged double-output motor 2 and the transmission device makes it possible to reduce the length of the shearer, and the minimum center distance of the cutting drum is about 1.7 m, which makes it possible to realize the inner rocking of the shearer, and breaks through the rocking mode of the traditional outer rocker arm shearer.

[0044] The shearer and other sheavers have the same working principle, that is, they rely on the driving of the machine head and tail of the coal mining face to cut coal back and forth, and the difference is that the shearer can vertically top into the coal wall by moving the support forward at both ends of the coal mining face due to the short length of the whole machine, and the arc-shaped end surface 602 at the end of the cutting drum is also designed based on this, which improves the speed of opening the cut hole. The thin coal seam inner rocker arm shearer can be pulled into the two end roadways for maintenance due to its small size, which is convenient for workers to maintain.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
