[0002] A coal mining machine mainly consists of an electric motor, a traction unit, a cutting unit, and auxiliary devices. The electric motor drives the two cutting units and the traction unit respectively through output shafts at both ends. The coal mining machine is one of the important pieces of equipment for achieving mechanization and modernization in coal mine production. It is mainly used in longwall mining faces, where the working mechanism breaks the coal off the coal seam and loads it into the face conveyor, realizing continuous coal breaking and loading processes.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] A positioning mechanism for a coal mining machine in a fully mechanized longwall face, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it specifically includes:
[0022] The main body 1 of the coal mining machine has wheels 5 at its bottom, which are slidably mounted on a track 6. A traction unit 2, an adjusting arm 3, and a crushing wheel 4 are respectively mounted on the front and rear sides. The adjusting arm 3 is hinged to the traction unit 2. A cylinder 7 is mounted on the traction unit 2. One end of the cylinder 7 is hinged to the traction unit 2, and the other end is hinged to the bottom of the adjusting arm 3 to form a hinge plate 8. After the cylinder 7 extends or retracts, the adjusting arm 3 flips up and down to adjust the height of the crushing wheel 4. The crushing wheel 4 is rotatably mounted on the adjusting arm 3, and the two crushing wheels 4 are mounted on the same side and mine coal at the working face. The main body 1 of the coal mining machine slides on the track 6 through the traction unit 2, and the crushing wheel 4 is connected to the motor of the main body 1 of the coal mining machine through the gear set inside the adjusting arm 3 to rotate.
[0023] Horizontal positioning structure such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes a parallel rod 9, a vertical rod 10, and a horizontal rod 11. The vertical rod 10 is arranged vertically, with its top positioned directly behind the front crushing wheel 4 and movably sleeved on the protrusion formed on the corresponding adjusting arm 3. The parallel rod 9 is arranged parallel to the adjusting arm 3, with one end hinged to the bottom of the adjusting arm 3 and the other end hinged to the front traction part 2. The horizontal rod 11 is arranged perpendicular to the vertical rod 10, with its rear end connected and fixed to the top of the vertical rod 10 and its front end forming a sleeve.
[0024] Positioning feedback structures and collision avoidance structures, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the positioning feedback structure includes a sleeve 12, a feedback rod 13, and a pressure sensor 16. The sleeve 12 is vertically arranged with its opening facing upwards and is fitted and fixed inside the front end of the horizontal rod 11. The pressure sensor 16 is located at the bottom inside the sleeve 12. A limit ring 14 is fixed on the inner wall of the sleeve 12. The feedback rod 13 is movably fitted inside the sleeve 12, and a stepped surface is formed on its side wall corresponding to the limit ring 14. The stepped surface and the limit ring 14 are connected by a longitudinal spring 15. The bottom of the feedback rod 13 passes through the limit ring 14 and is clearance-fitted with the top of the pressure sensor 16. The collision avoidance structure includes a transverse spring 20, a roller 18, a positioning rod 17, and a ball bearing 19. The positioning rod 17 is arranged transversely on the left and right sides above the front crushing wheel 4, and one end is movable. The roller 18 is fitted into the top of the feedback rod 13 to form a sleeve, and a ball bearing 19 is rolled at the other end. A stepped surface is formed in the middle and it is connected to the top of the feedback rod 13 by a transverse spring 20. The roller 18 is movably fitted outside the positioning rod 17. When the crushing wheel 4 extends into the coal seam for mining, the positioning rod 17 abuts against the fully mechanized mining face, and the ball bearing 19 slides on the fully mechanized mining face. As the shape of the fully mechanized mining face changes, the positioning rod 17 compresses the transverse spring 20 and moves back and forth. When the mine roadway turns downward, the positioning rod 17 contacts the top rock layer, and the roller 18 rolls. At the same time, the feedback rod 13 moves down, presses the pressure sensor 16, transmits the top contact signal, and controls the front cylinder 7 to contract, causing the front crushing wheel 4 to move down and avoid the top rock layer.
[0025] In the specific implementation of this embodiment:
[0026] This novel design is installed on a coal mining machine, with the front crushing wheel 4 crushing coal above and the rear crushing wheel 4 crushing coal below, thereby expanding the coal mining area of the fully mechanized mining face. After the front crushing wheel 4 extends into the coal seam for mining, the positioning rod 17 abuts against the fully mechanized mining face, and the ball bearing 19 slides on the fully mechanized mining face. As the shape of the fully mechanized mining face changes, the positioning rod 17 compresses the transverse spring 20 and moves back and forth. When the mine roadway turns downward, the positioning rod 17 contacts the top rock layer, and the roller 18 rolls. At the same time, the feedback rod 13 moves down, presses the pressure sensor 16, transmits the top contact signal, and controls the front cylinder 7 to contract, causing the front crushing wheel 4 to move down and avoid the top rock layer.
[0027] When the crushing wheel 4 extends into the coal seam for mining, the positioning rod 17 abuts against the fully mechanized mining face, and the ball bearing 19 slides on the fully mechanized mining face. As the shape of the fully mechanized mining face changes, the positioning rod 17 compresses the transverse spring 20 and moves back and forth. When the mine roadway turns downward, the positioning rod 17 contacts the top rock layer, and the roller 18 rolls. At the same time, the feedback rod 13 moves down, presses the pressure sensor 16, transmits the top contact signal, and controls the front cylinder 7 to contract, causing the front crushing wheel 4 to move down and avoid the top rock layer.
[0028] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
