Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heading machine, especially to a mechanical arm for heading machine and heading machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] The open type tunnel boring machine is used for heading in the coal mine inclined shaft or rock roadway, and most of the rock debris is transported to the outside through the cooperation of the cutting part and the transportation device. However, when the TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) passes through the broken stratum, the rocks above and on both sides of the tail part of the main machine are prone to collapse, which will then fall on the tail part of the main machine and the bottom arch assembly. Especially when heading in the stratum with high degree of fragmentation, the falling rock debris and rock blocks will be stuck between the main machine shield and the unsupported roadway roof, seriously hindering the normal heading work.

[0003] The existing patent CN118327605B discloses a drilling type slag removal and sampling mechanical arm for a full-face heading machine, which comprises a base, an extension arm, a rotating seat, a first driving assembly, a drilling head, a stacked spiral blade assembly, a slag guide pipe, a negative pressure unit and an angle adjusting mechanism. The drilling head is connected with the rotating seat, and the drilling head comprises a shell and a plurality of rotating knives. The shell has a third channel along the axial direction, and the third channel is communicated with the second channel. The plurality of rotating knives are arranged in a ring array around the central axis of the shell, and are fixed to the shell and located at one end of the third channel. Some of the rotating knives protrude from the shell. The rotating knives have the same helical angle. The fourth channel is communicated with the third channel between adjacent rotating knives. The present application effectively solves the problems of low slag removal efficiency, easy injury to operators and damage to the heading machine, and inability to perform deep drilling sampling on the rock wall in the prior art.

[0004] However, in this operation, the universal shaft is installed inside the fixed arm for power transmission. Due to design reasons, part of the universal shaft is exposed in the conveying channel of the fixed arm. The material moves continuously during the conveying process, especially when passing through the conveying channel of the fixed arm, which is prone to collide with the universal shaft. These collisions may be caused by irregular shape of the material, high conveying speed or turbulent flow in the conveying channel, etc. Frequent collisions can cause wear on the surface of the universal shaft, gradually weakening its mechanical properties. Severe collisions may even cause damage to the universal shaft, affecting the normal operation of the mechanical arm. Wear and damage not only increase maintenance costs, but also reduce the working efficiency and reliability of the mechanical arm.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new mechanical arm for heading machine and heading machine to solve the above technical problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
