Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of coal shearers, in particular to a height-adjustable coal shearer. Background Art

[0002] With the pursuit of efficiency and productivity in coal mining, the deployment of extra-long working faces in medium-thick coal seams has become an effective means of improving mining efficiency. However, the extra-long working faces in medium-thick to thin coal seams present a certain contradiction in shearer design. The shearer needs a low face height to accommodate the demand for a smaller mining height, while also requiring a large installed power and coal handling space to ensure high-speed cutting performance. Existing shearer designs typically have a fixed body height, with the mining height controlled by swinging the boom. However, this approach is not adaptable to the complex mining environment and the unique production process requirements.

[0003] In the prior art, shearers for fully mechanized face mining typically utilize two supporting skids on the coal wall side and two guiding skids on the goaf side. Power is transmitted by a traction motor and a series of wheel sets, enabling movement along a scraper conveyor. However, the fixed height of this design limits its adaptability to complex environments and specialized requirements. Therefore, developing a height-adjustable shearer is a key requirement for improving mining efficiency and adaptability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art at least to a certain extent.

[0005] To this end, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a coal mining machine with adjustable height.

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a height-adjustable coal mining machine 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 1, a coal shovel plate 2, a support shoe 3, a first height adjustment component, a guide shoe 4, a pin rail 5, and a second height adjustment component. The support shoe 3 is mounted on the frame 1. The first height adjustment component is mounted on the support shoe 3 and is used to adjust the height of the support shoe 3. The support shoe 3 is configured to slide on the coal shovel plate 2. The guide shoe 4 is mounted on the frame 1. The pin rail 5 is mounted on the coal shovel plate 2 and is coupled to the guide shoe 4 to enable movement of the guide shoe 4 on the pin rail 5. The second height adjustment component is positioned between the pin rail 5 and the coal shovel plate 2 and is used to adjust the height of the pin rail 5.

[0023] When in use, the height-adjustable shearer 100 of the present invention can change the height of the support shoe 3 by adjusting the first height adjustment component, and the height of the pin rail 5 by adjusting the second height adjustment component, thereby affecting the position of the guide shoe 4. Both components are adjusted simultaneously during operation to achieve overall height adjustment of the shearer 100, allowing it to adapt to different mining height requirements.

[0024] The height-adjustable shearer 100 of the present invention can better adapt to complex coal mining environments and special production process requirements, meeting the mining needs of medium-thick to thin coal seams with extra-long working faces. The adjustable height of the shearer 100 allows real-time adjustments to different coal seam conditions and mining height requirements, enhancing flexibility during the mining process. By adjusting the height of the shearer 100, the shearer 100 can maintain a high installed power and coal handling capacity while maintaining a low face height, thereby ensuring high-speed cutting performance and improving mining efficiency. In complex coal mining environments, a fixed height can lead to increased wear between the shearer and the coal seam. The height-adjustable design can reduce this wear and extend the service life of the shearer 100. By adjusting the height of the shearer 100, collisions with the coal seam and other equipment during operation can be reduced, reducing safety risks. The height-adjustable shearer 100 can adapt to a variety of coal seam conditions, reducing the cost of equipment replacement and improving economic benefits.

[0025] In some embodiments, the support shoe 3 includes a shoe frame 301 and a shoe body 302. A vertically extending groove 3021 is defined on the bottom surface of the shoe body 302, and the shoe body 302 slidably engages with the groove 3021 in the vertical direction. A first height adjustment component includes a first screw 6 and an internally threaded sleeve 7. The first screw 6 extends vertically and is rotatably mounted on the shoe body 302. The top end of the first screw 6 extends into the groove 3021. The internally threaded sleeve 7 is disposed between the bottom wall of the groove 3021 and the shoe body 302. The internally threaded sleeve 7 is vertically slidably connected to the sidewalls of the groove 3021, and the first screw 6 is threadedly engaged with the internally threaded sleeve 7.

[0026] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the operator can adjust the height of the support shoe 3 by rotating the first screw 6. As the first screw 6 rotates, the internally threaded sleeve 7 moves up and down due to the threaded connection, driving the shoe body 302 to slide within the chute 3021, thereby changing the height of the coal mining machine 100. The threaded connection between the first screw 6 and the internally threaded sleeve 7 allows for precise adjustment of the height of the support shoe 3. This structural design is simple yet powerful, capable of reliably supporting the coal mining machine 100 and maintaining stability at different coal mining heights. The operator can adjust the height with a simple rotational motion, making operation quick and easy. The simple structure also makes maintenance easier, reducing maintenance costs.

[0027] Alternatively, as Figure 3 As shown, the height-adjustable shearer 100 of the present invention further includes a push plate 8, which is disposed on top of the internally threaded sleeve 7 and is used to push the sliding shoe frame 301 upward. The main function of the push plate 8 is to push the sliding shoe frame 301 upward when adjusting the height of the shearer 100, ensuring a more secure connection between the sliding shoe frame 301 and the sliding shoe body 302, and preventing loosening or instability during the height adjustment process.

[0028] In some embodiments, a guide groove 3022 extending in the vertical direction is provided on the side wall of the sliding groove 3021, and a guide block 9 is provided on the push plate 8. The guide block 9 can slide in the vertical direction to cooperate with the guide groove 3022.

[0029] The combination of guide block 9 and guide slot 3022 provides vertical guidance, ensuring that the push plate 8 maintains the correct trajectory and position as it pushes upward against the shoe frame 301. This coordination improves the guidance accuracy of the height adjustment of the shearer 100, making the entire adjustment process more stable and accurate. The lateral support provided by the guide slot 3022 prevents the guide block 9 from shifting during sliding, thereby enhancing stability during adjustment.

[0030] In some embodiments, the first height adjustment component further includes a first motor 10 , which is transmission-connected to the first screw rod 6 to drive the first screw rod 6 to rotate.

[0031] When the first motor 10 is started, it transmits power to the first screw 6 through the transmission device, causing the first screw 6 to rotate. The rotation of the first screw 6 causes the internally threaded sleeve 7 to move along the screw, thereby changing the height of the support shoe 3, thereby adjusting the height of the coal mining machine 100. The integration of the first motor 10 automates the height adjustment process, reducing manual intervention and improving operational convenience and efficiency. The motor's precise control capability ensures accurate height adjustment, allowing the height of the coal mining machine 100 to be precisely adjusted according to a preset program or operator instructions. Automated height adjustment reduces the operator's labor intensity and reduces fatigue during work.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first height adjustment component also includes a first bevel gear 11 and a second bevel gear 12. The first motor 10 is arranged on one side of the sliding shoe body 302 and the output shaft of the first motor 10 is arranged perpendicular to the first screw 6. The first bevel gear 11 is mounted on the output shaft of the first motor 10, and the second bevel gear 12 is mounted on the first screw 6. The first bevel gear 11 is meshed with the second bevel gear 12.

[0033] In some embodiments, the second height adjustment component includes a support frame 13, a second screw 14, and a second motor 15. The pin rail 5 is provided on the support frame 13. A threaded hole 1301 opening downward is provided on the bottom end surface of the support frame 13. The second screw 14 is rotatably connected to the coal shoveling plate 2 in a vertical direction. The second screw 14 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 1301 on the support frame 13. The second motor 15 is provided on the coal shoveling plate 2 to drive the second screw 14 to rotate.

[0034] Specifically, if Figure 5 As shown, the operator can drive the second screw 14 by controlling the rotation of the second motor 15, thereby adjusting the height of the support frame 13 and then adjusting the height of the pin rail 5. In this way, the mining height of the coal mining machine 100 can be adjusted in real time according to the changes in the coal seam. By controlling the start and stop of the second motor 15, the height of the pin rail 5 can be adjusted, thereby affecting the mining height of the coal mining machine 100. The coordinated use of the second screw 14 and the threaded hole 1301 can achieve precise mining height control, which is very important for improving coal mining quality and reducing resource waste. Due to the accuracy and reliability of the adjustment mechanism, the maintenance cost caused by frequent adjustments and wear can be reduced. By accurately controlling the mining height, the safety risks in the coal mining process can be reduced and the safety of operators and equipment can be protected.
