Description

Technical fields: This invention relates to the field of mining and conveying technology in fully mechanized coal mining faces, specifically to a cross-side unloading headframe for a scraper conveyor suitable for forward-moving coal mining. Background Technology

[0001] As one of the main pieces of equipment in fully mechanized coal mining systems, scraper conveyors are currently used in the mainstream coal mining method in China: retreating coal mining. This involves first excavating two roadways connecting the coal face to the face and installing the equipment. The coal mining machine's cutting drum moves on the opposite side of the tail of the scraper conveyor in the roadway, without interference between them. Advancing coal mining, on the other hand, does not require prior excavation of the roadways. After the cut is made, the coal mining machine directly advances. In this scenario, the coal mining machine's cutting drum moves on the same side as the tail of the scraper conveyor in the roadway. If a traditional cross-side unloading headframe is still used, the coal mining machine's cutting drum will interfere with the tail of the scraper conveyor in the roadway. Summary of the Invention

[0002] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cross-side unloading head frame for a scraper conveyor suitable for forward coal mining, which is applicable to the working conditions of forward coal mining.

[0003] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A cross-side unloading head frame for a scraper conveyor suitable for forward coal mining, its main structure consists of a pressure block I1, a head frame 2, a sprocket assembly I3, a tongue plate assembly I4, a chain derailer I5, a movable center plate assembly 6, a tongue plate assembly II7, a chain derailer II8, a sprocket assembly II9, a pressure block II10, a blocking plate 11, a bolt 12, an anti-loosening washer 13, and a pin nut 14; The main structure of the cross-side unloading head frame of this scraper conveyor suitable for forward coal mining is the head frame 2, which is designed with four layers of chain track space. The top and bottom layers are the chain track space through which the scraper chain of the scraper conveyor passes, and the middle two layers are the chain track space through which the scraper chain of the scraper transfer machine used in the roadway passes.

[0004] Furthermore, the head frame 2 integrates the tongue plate assembly II7, chain derailleur II8, and sprocket assembly II9 into its interior, secured by pressure block II10, bolts 12, anti-loosening washers 13, and pin nuts 14. This design prevents the sprocket assembly II9 from protruding from the head frame 2, providing space for the coal mining machine's cutting drum and avoiding interference, thus achieving suitability for forward-moving coal mining methods.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this invention are mainly reflected in the following: By embedding key structures such as the sprocket assembly II9 into the headstock 2, making its outline compact and without protruding parts, this invention fundamentally solves the core problem of interference between the cutting drum of the coal mining machine and the head of the conveyor and the tail of the scraper transfer machine in the roadway during forward mining. This design ensures continuous advancement of the working face and significantly improves the safety and efficiency of the forward mining process.

[0006] The substantial features and significant advancements of this device lie in its innovative integration of sprocket assembly II9, chain derailleur II8, and other components within the headframe 2, reliably secured by components such as pressure blocks 10, thus achieving a compact and flattened headframe structure. The integrated design of a four-layer chain track space simultaneously accommodates the functions of the face scraper conveyor and the roadway transfer conveyor within a limited space, optimizing equipment matching and roadway space utilization. It directly addresses and successfully resolves the technical bottleneck of equipment interference in forward mining processes, providing reliable dedicated core equipment for safe, efficient, and continuous forward mining, and broadening the application prospects of this technology.

[0008] The technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them.

[0009] The method of using this invention is as follows: First, the head frame 2 is positioned and installed at a predetermined location on the coal mining face, ensuring its foundation is stable. The chain puller II8 is fixed to the inside of the sprocket assembly II9 installation position with bolts. Then, the sprocket assembly II9 is ​​pushed into the pre-reserved semi-circular groove inside the head frame 2 from the side. The pressure block II10 is pushed in through the side plate sliding groove structure, pressing against the sprocket assembly II9. Then, it is firmly fixed to the head frame 2 body with bolts 12, anti-loosening washers 13, and pin nuts 14. Finally, the tongue plate assembly II7 is installed, thereby completely installing and protecting the sprocket assembly II9 and other structures inside the head frame. These components together constitute the drive and guide mechanism of the scraper chain 16 of the roadway scraper transfer machine. On the other side of the head frame 2, sprocket assembly I3 is installed, along with its matching tongue plate assembly I4 and chain derailleur I5. This part serves as the drive mechanism for the scraper chain 15 of the working face scraper conveyor. A movable center plate assembly 6 is installed on the upper part of the head frame 2, allowing it to move flexibly according to coal flow conditions to assist in coal unloading. Finally, a blocking plate 11 is used to seal the side of the head frame 2, specifically the rear of sprocket assembly II9, forming a complete and robust working unit.
