Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mining equipment for hard rock extraction, and in particular to a large-scale, equal-height hybrid hard rock cutting mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Mining machinery and equipment can be categorized into three types based on the method of forming the roadway cross-section: partial cross-section, full-width cross-section, and full-face cross-section. Partial cross-section mining equipment is primarily based on tunneling machines (TBMs), full-width cross-section mining equipment is primarily based on roadheader-and-anchor (BOMA), and full-face mining equipment is primarily based on tunnel boring machines (TBMs). TBMs are mainly used for developing coal, semi-coal-rock, and all-rock roadways. Their advantages include strong adaptability, but their small cutting head size results in low advance efficiency. BOMAs form the roadway in a single pass, but they are costly and less flexible, generally only suitable for circular roadway cross-sections and not suitable for large-scale application in the mining industry. BOMAs use an up-and-down swing cutting method, with a moderate excavation speed, and are mainly suitable for developing coal and semi-coal-rock roadways.
[0003] In recent years, with the mining of rock tunnels, the hardness of the rock in the tunnels has become increasingly higher. To adapt to hard rock cutting, horizontal shaft tunneling machines are often used. Due to the specific structure of the cutting reducer, the power torque needs to be transmitted to the horizontal shaft through a slender shaft. The horizontal shaft drives the cutting drum to rotate through a planetary reducer to achieve the purpose of rock breaking. This structure results in a certain cutting blind zone in the cutting drum. Because of the existence of these cutting blind zones, the rock in these areas is not broken by the cutting teeth, leaving rock walls. The presence of rock walls prevents the entire tunneling machine from advancing forward, and it can only frequently swing the cutting mechanism left and right to eliminate the remaining blind zones, greatly reducing production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the invention, and should not be construed as limiting the invention. Rather, embodiments of the invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
[0023] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 6 This describes a large-scale, equal-height hybrid hard rock cutting mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0024] See Figure 1 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a large-scale equal-height hybrid hard rock cutting mechanism includes a cutting reducer 1, a cutting drum 2, and a support base 3.
[0025] Support base 3 is used for mounting on mining equipment. The specific type of mining equipment is set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto; for example, it can be a roadheader or a tunneling machine. The central shaft of the cutting reducer 1 is mounted transversely on support base 3. The cutting reducer 1 uses a hybrid drive, such as electric drive and hydraulic drive. Transverse refers to the width direction of the roadway. The cutting drum 2 is fitted around the output end of the cutting reducer 1 and is driven to rotate by the cutting reducer 1. The outer diameter of the cutting drum 2 is equal to the cross-sectional height of the roadway to be excavated, so that the cutting drum 2 can cover the entire height area of the roadway from the floor to the roof in one go when rotating. It should be noted that the outer diameter of the cutting drum 2 is adjusted according to the height of the roadway being excavated, and the specific size is not limited.
[0026] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the large-scale equal-height hybrid hard rock cutting mechanism adopts an equal-height cutting drum design, that is, the outer diameter of the cutting drum is equal to the cross-sectional height of the roadway to be excavated. This reduces the up-and-down swing mode of the cutting mechanism in the prior art, leaving only the left-and-right swing mode of the cutting mechanism. This can meet the roadway forming requirements, save working time, improve working efficiency, and expand the application range of mining equipment.
[0027] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the cutting reducer 1 includes a support spindle 1-1, an output gear ring 1-6, at least one electric motor 1-9, at least one hydraulic motor 1-13, a sprocket 1-11, and multiple reduction mechanisms 1-12.
[0028] Both ends of the support spindle 1-1 are connected to the support base 3. A mounting plate extending radially outward is provided in the middle of the support spindle 1-1. The electric motor 1-9 and hydraulic motor 1-13 are axially mounted on the mounting plate. Multiple reduction mechanisms 1-12 are respectively connected to the output ends of the corresponding electric motor 1-9 and / or hydraulic motor 1-13. The number of sprockets 1-11 is equal to the sum of the number of electric motors 1-9 and hydraulic motors 1-13. The number of electric motors 1-9 and hydraulic motors 1-13 is set according to actual needs and is not limited. The output end of the reduction mechanism 1-12 drives the sprocket 1-11 to rotate. The sprocket 1-11 meshes with the inner ring of the output gear ring 1-6, and the outer ring of the output gear ring 1-6 is connected to the inner circumference of the cutting drum 2. The function of the reduction mechanism 1-12 is to reduce the output speed of the electric motor 1-9 and hydraulic motor 1-13 and increase the output torque.
[0029] The main support shaft 1-1 primarily serves a supporting function and does not rotate during the operation of the cutting mechanism. The number of electric motors 1-9 and hydraulic motors 1-13 is selected according to actual needs. The specific type of the reduction mechanism 1-12 is set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto; for example, the reduction mechanism 1-12 can be a planetary gear reducer, worm gear reducer, etc. It should be noted that electric motors 1-9 and hydraulic motors 1-13 can output power simultaneously or individually.
[0030] In one example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the output ends of electric motor 1-9 and hydraulic motor 1-13 are connected to the input end of reduction mechanism 1-12 via coupling 1-10. There are three electric motors 1-9 and three hydraulic motors 1-13, which are evenly distributed circumferentially on the mounting plate. There are six reduction mechanisms 1-12, with one reduction mechanism 1-12 connected to each electric motor 1-9 and each hydraulic motor 1-13.
[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cutting reducer 1 also includes two bearing housings 1-5 and two bearings 1-7. The inner rings of the two bearings 1-7 are respectively fitted on both sides of the supporting main shaft 1-1, and the two bearing housings 1-5 are respectively connected to the outer rings of the corresponding bearings 1-7. The two ends of the output gear ring 1-6 are respectively connected to the two bearing housings 1-5 and rotate synchronously with the bearing housings 1-5.
[0032] Figure 2The workflow of the large-scale equal-height hybrid hard rock cutting mechanism provided in the illustrated embodiment is as follows: Three electric motors 1-9 powered by an electric power source and three hydraulic motors 1-13 powered by hydraulic oil transmit high-speed, low-torque power to six reduction mechanisms 1-12 via six connected couplings 1-10. The six reduction mechanisms 1-12 convert the power into low-speed, high-torque power through gear reduction. The six reduction mechanisms 1-12 then transmit the converted low-speed, high-torque power to six connected sprockets 1-1 through their output ends. 1. Six sprockets 1-11 transmit low-speed, high-torque power to the output gear ring 1-6 connected to them. The output gear ring 1-6 combines the power of the six output sprockets 1-11 to output a larger torque. While the output gear ring 1-6 obtains a large torque, it is supported by two bearing seats 1-5 connected at both ends and rotates together with the outer rings of two bearings 1-7. The inner rings of the two bearings 1-7 are fixed on both sides of the supporting main shaft 1-1, and the outer rings drive the bearing seats 1-5 and the output gear ring 1-6 to rotate, thereby realizing the output of large torque.
[0033] In some embodiments, the cutting reducer 1 further includes two first skeleton seals 1-2, two nuts 1-3, two bearing caps 1-4, and two second skeleton seals 1-8. The two nuts 1-3 are threaded to both ends of the supporting spindle 1-1, respectively, for axially limiting the inner ring of the bearing 1-7. The bearing caps 1-4 are connected to the bearing housing 1-5, for axially limiting the outer ring of the bearing 1-7. The two first skeleton seals 1-2 are respectively installed on the outer side of the bearing 1-7, located between the bearing caps 1-4 and the supporting spindle 1-1. The two second skeleton seals 1-8 are respectively installed on the inner side of the bearing 1-7, located between the bearing housing 1-5 and the supporting spindle 1-1. The first skeleton seals 1-2 and the second skeleton seals 1-8 serve to seal the lubricating grease.
[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cutting drum 2 includes a drum body 2-1, at least one flat key 2-2, multiple cutter holders 2-3, and multiple cutters 2-4. The flat key 2-2 is located on the inner circumferential surface of the drum body 2-1 and mates with the output gear ring 1-6. Specifically, the flat key 2-2 is embedded in the inner circumferential surface of the drum body 2-1, and the outer circumferential surface of the output gear ring 1-6 has a keyway, with the flat key 2-2 mates with the keyway. The multiple cutter holders 2-3 are distributed along the outer circumferential surface of the drum body 2-1 in a cylindrical helical pattern to achieve the purpose of cutting hard rock. The cutter holders 2-3 can be welded to the outer circumferential surface of the drum body 2-1. The cutters 2-4 are detachably connected to their corresponding cutter holders 2-3. The output gear ring 1-6 transmits a large torque to the drum body 2-1 through the flat key 2-2, further driving the cutters 2-4 to rotate together for hard rock cutting.
[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, the front of the support base 3 has a U-shaped connecting part, on which two through-hole square holes 3-4 for connecting the cutting reducer 1 are provided. The rear end of the support base 3 has a base square hole 3-3, which is used to connect the mining equipment. The middle of the support base 3 has a rotary main pin hole 3-1 that runs vertically through the base square hole 3-3; rotary cylinder hinge holes 3-2 are provided on both sides of the rotary main pin hole 3-1. The cylinder hinge holes 3-2 are used to hinge the rotary cylinder of the mining equipment to drive the cutting mechanism to swing around the axis of the rotary main pin hole 3-1.
