Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coal mining machinery technology, and in particular relates to a hydraulic system for an anti-impact coal mining machine. Background Technology

[0002] The power for raising and lowering the rocker arm of a coal mining machine comes from the extension and retraction of the height adjustment cylinder, which in turn is powered by the gear pump in the hydraulic system. In thin coal seam mining faces, the rocker arm experiences significant vibration and frequent impacts due to frequent rock cutting. Furthermore, when the working load on the rocker arm increases sharply, the cylinder can impact the gear pump in the hydraulic system, potentially causing it to jam and become damaged. Existing hydraulic systems rely solely on hydraulic locks or balance valves to prevent oil backflow. However, when the pressure exceeds 30 MPa, the oil can break through the hydraulic lock, allowing some oil to flow back and impact the gear pump. Moreover, existing hydraulic systems are not sensitive enough to fluctuations in the hydraulic system, making it difficult to detect oil backflow and leading to gear pump failure.

[0018] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a hydraulic system for an anti-impact coal mining machine, including an oil tank, a gear pump 1, a left height adjustment cylinder 7, a right height adjustment cylinder 8, a check valve 5, and a fine filter 12. Both the left and right height adjustment cylinders 7 and 8 are equipped with hydraulic locks 9. Both cylinders 7 and 8 are connected to a manual hydraulic directional valve 10 and a solenoid directional valve 11. The oil tank is connected to the gear pump 1 via a coarse filter 2. The gear pump 1 is driven by a motor 3. The outlet of the gear pump 1, the check valve 5, and the fine filter 12 are connected sequentially to form the main oil circuit. The main oil circuit is connected to each height adjustment cylinder. An overflow valve 4 (20MPa) is installed between the outlet of the gear pump 1 and the check valve 5. By connecting an overflow valve 4 in series at the outlet of the gear pump 1, damage to the gear pump 1 due to jamming can be prevented.

[0020] It is feasible to configure a check valve 5 connected in series in the main oil circuit. When the impact pressure is too large, causing the hydraulic lock 9 to open and leak, the two check valves 5 can prevent the oil from flowing back and avoid the backflow liquid from impacting the gear pump 1. In this feasible embodiment, a pressure monitoring system is also provided, including a pressure sensor 6. The pressure sensor 6 displays the data on the display screen of the operation control platform through a sensor center interface. The pressure sensor 6 is located after the check valve 5, and the rear end of the check valve 5 is connected to the pressure sensor 6 through a T-junction. It can detect the main oil circuit pressure in real time and provide timely feedback when there are pressure fluctuations or oil backflow, making it easier to monitor the working status of the oil circuit system. Existing hydraulic systems rely on pressure gauges to detect the main oil inlet pressure, which has low sensitivity to oil impacts and cannot detect oil backflow in time, causing damage to the gear pump 1. This embodiment uses a pressure sensor 6 to detect the main oil inlet pressure in real time and can provide timely feedback on oil fluctuations and backflow, which can better monitor the working status of the oil circuit system.

[0021] Implementably, a pressure gauge 13 is installed on the oil line between the one-way valve 5 and the fine filter 12. A high-pressure relief valve (18MPa) is installed on the oil line between the fine filter 12 and the pressure gauge 13; a one-way valve 17 is installed between the fine filter 12 and the solenoid directional valve 11. An oil outlet pressure gauge is connected to the oil outlet of the fine filter, and a low-pressure relief valve 15 (2.5MPa) is connected in series.

[0022] As is feasible, the hydraulic system of the anti-impact coal mining machine provided in this embodiment also includes a braking system, including a brake solenoid valve 16, which is set in parallel with the main oil circuit.

[0023] In summary, this embodiment incorporates a check valve 5 and a pressure sensor 6 in the main oil circuit, preventing cylinder self-falling and gear pump 1 damage caused by the hydraulic lock 9 being breached or damaged. It also allows for real-time monitoring of the main oil circuit pressure, with feedback sensitivity higher than existing pressure gauges 13. Furthermore, this embodiment is specifically designed for thin coal seam working faces with harsh operating conditions; the addition of an overflow valve 4 enhances the reliability of the hydraulic system. Compared to existing technologies, the entire device provided in this embodiment has a simple structure, comprehensive shock protection for the gear pump 1, and higher hydraulic system reliability.

[0024] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
