AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing rectangular full-face tunnel boring machine's dual-cutterhead system cannot effectively cut the ground stress chain, resulting in high rock breaking energy consumption and failing to meet the demand for efficient mechanized mining of underground potash mines.

Method used

A double-cutterhead angle-adjustable structure suitable for potash mines is provided. The angle adjustment mechanism allows the left and right cutterhead assemblies to tilt outward relative to the tunneling direction in the horizontal plane, cutting off the horizontal stress transmission path and reducing rock breaking energy consumption.

Benefits of technology

By actively adjusting the cutterhead angle, the ground stress chain was actively cut off, significantly reducing the rock breaking energy, improving cutting efficiency and tunneling speed, and reducing rock breaking energy consumption.

Abstract

The application provides a double cutter disc angle adjustable structure, method and full-face tunneling machine suitable for potash salt mine, and relates to the technical field of full-face mechanized mining equipment for solid potash salt mine and other sedimentary layered deposits. The structure comprises two cutter disc assemblies arranged symmetrically left and right, wherein the output end of a main cutting gear box is rigidly connected with the cutter disc; a driving assembly is arranged on the frame of the full-face tunneling machine and is connected with the main cutting gear box; the two ends of an angle adjusting mechanism are respectively connected with the frame and the side wall of the main cutting gear box, and are used for driving the main cutting gear box to rotate around the vertical central axis thereof relative to the frame, so that the cutter disc is inclined outward relative to the tunneling direction in the horizontal plane; and the structure further comprises a controller which is respectively connected in communication with the driving assembly and the angle adjusting mechanism. The double cutter disc is inclined to form a certain outward inclination angle, the active cutting of the ground stress chain and the stress dimension reduction are realized, the rock breaking specific energy is reduced, and the cutting efficiency is improved.
