Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of coal mining machinery and equipment, in particular to a cable dragging and following device suitable for extremely thin coal seams. Background Art
[0002] Ultra-thin coal seams refer to coal seams with a thickness of less than 0.8m that can be mined underground. They are widely distributed in my country, boast large reserves, and offer high-quality coal. However, as recoverable resources in some mining areas are becoming increasingly depleted, mining ultra-thin coal seams has become a necessary option for continued production in these areas. However, current ultra-thin coal seam mining faces challenges such as limited operating space and a severe shortage of complete sets of intelligent mining technology and equipment.
[0003] During coal cutting, the shearer cables move with the shearer's reciprocating motion. The narrow working surface of extremely thin coal seams and the limited clearance of the shearer allow for easy cable compression, wear, and leakage. Failure to promptly adjust the shearer cable retraction and extension can hinder production, extending production time, reducing the cable's service life, and increasing operating costs.
