[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] Example: See Figure 1-8This utility model discloses an intelligent coal discharge mechanism for fully mechanized longwall mining, comprising a tail beam 1. The tail beam 1 serves as the main structure of the entire coal discharge mechanism, providing a foundation for the installation and support of other components, ensuring the stability and reliability of the coal discharge mechanism. A coal discharge port 2 penetrating the bottom surface is provided on one side of the top surface of the tail beam 1. An installation groove is provided on the bottom surface of the tail beam 1. A baffle 3 is provided inside the coal discharge port 2. The top surface of the baffle 3 is at the same horizontal height as the top surface of the tail beam 1, and the baffle 3 abuts against the inner wall of the coal discharge port 2 on all four sides, facilitating the sealing of the coal discharge port 2. A first rotating rod 4 is fixedly connected to the other side of the baffle 3. The first rotating rod 4 passes through the rear end of the baffle 3 and is inserted into the inner wall of the tail beam 1. The front end of the first rotating rod 4 passes through the inner wall of the tail beam 1 and is inserted into the mounting groove. The connection between the first rotating rod 4 and the baffle 3 allows the baffle 3 to rotate flexibly at the coal discharge port 2, thereby realizing the opening and closing control of the coal discharge port 2. When coal needs to be discharged, the baffle 3 is rotated to open the coal discharge port 2; when coal does not need to be discharged, the coal discharge port 2 is closed, effectively controlling the amount of coal discharged and improving the accuracy and efficiency of coal discharge.
[0023] In this utility model, a first gear 5 is fixedly connected to the front end of the first rotating rod 4 in the mounting groove of the tail beam 1. A second gear 6 is provided at the lower end of the first gear 5. The second gear 6 meshes with the first gear 5 for transmission. A first connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the second gear 6. The first connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected in the mounting groove. A first worm gear 8 is fixedly connected to the front end of the first connecting rod 7. A first worm 9 is provided on the other side of the first worm gear 8. The first worm 9 meshes with the first worm gear 8 for transmission. The first worm 9 is rotatably connected inside the mounting groove. Through the gear transmission of the first gear 5 and the second gear 6, and the cooperation of the first worm gear 8 and the first worm 9, the force required to rotate the baffle 3 is reduced. The self-locking property of the first worm gear 8 and the first worm 9 prevents the baffle 3 from rotating automatically under the pressure of the coal mine, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the coal discharge mechanism. A first motor 10 is provided at the bottom end of a worm gear 9. The output shaft of the first motor 10 is fixedly connected to the first worm gear 9. A first protective shell 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the first motor 10. The first protective shell 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the tail beam 1. The first motor 10 provides power to the transmission system of the baffle 3, making the coal feeding operation more automated and convenient. The first protective shell 11 can protect the transmission system and motor from the influence of the external environment and provide a mounting foundation, extending the service life of the device. A first mounting seat 12 is fixedly connected at equal intervals to the bottom surface of the tail beam 1. A telescopic rod 13 is movably hinged to the first mounting seat 12. A second mounting seat 14 is movably hinged to one side of the telescopic rod 13. The second mounting seat 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the baffle 3. The telescopic rod 13 provides support and assistance when the baffle 3 rotates, ensuring the smooth movement of the baffle 3 and improving the stability of the coal feeding mechanism.
[0024] In this utility model, a plurality of equidistant mounting openings are longitudinally provided on one side of the baffle 3. A dredging rod 15 is installed in each mounting opening. A drive groove is provided on the bottom surface of the baffle 3. A second rotating rod 16 is longitudinally fixed to the middle of each of the dredging rods 15. Both ends of the second rotating rod 16 are rotatably connected to the baffle 3, and the middle of the second rotating rod 16 is placed in the drive groove. A third gear 17 is provided in the drive groove, and the third gear 17 is fixedly connected to the second rotating rod 16. A fourth gear 18 is provided on the other side of the third gear 17, and the fourth gear 18 meshes with the third gear 17 for transmission. A second connecting rod 19 is longitudinally fixed to the middle of the fourth gear 18, and the second connecting rod 19 is rotatably connected in the drive groove. A second worm gear 20 is fixedly connected to the front end of the second connecting rod 19. A second worm 21 is provided on the other side of the second worm gear 20, and the second worm 21 meshes with the second worm gear 20 for transmission. The second worm 21 is vertically rotatably connected inside the drive groove. The dredging rods 15 function to prevent coal from clogging the coal discharge port 2 during the coal discharge process. To ensure smooth coal discharge, the baffle 3 acts as part of the sealing mechanism when coal discharge stops. Through the gear transmission of the third gear 17 and the fourth gear 18, and the cooperation of the second worm gear 20 and the second worm 21, the rotation of the unblocking rod 15 is controlled, improving the efficiency of rotating the unblocking rod 15 and enhancing the unblocking effect. When coal discharge stops, the unblocking rod 15 self-locks, preventing it from being passively rotated due to the gravity of the coal mine, thus ensuring the sealing of the coal discharge system. A second motor 22 is located at the bottom of the second worm 21, with its output shaft fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the second worm 21. A second protective shell 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the second motor 22 and to the bottom surface of the baffle 3. The second motor 22 provides power for the rotation of the unblocking rod 15, making the operation more automated and efficient. The second protective shell 23 protects the second motor 22 and the unblocking rod 15, ensuring stable operation and providing a mounting foundation to protect the device from external environmental influences and extend its service life.
[0025] Working Principle: When using this utility model, firstly, connect all electrical equipment with wires and turn on the power. When starting the coal feeding operation, start the first motor 10, which drives the first worm 9 to rotate. The first worm 9 meshes with the first worm wheel 8, thereby driving the first worm wheel 8 to rotate. The first worm wheel 8 drives the second gear 6 to rotate through the first connecting rod 7. The second gear 6 meshes with the first gear 5, causing the first gear 5 to rotate. The first gear 5 drives the first rotating rod 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the baffle 3 to rotate around the first rotating rod 4 to open the coal feeding port 2. Under the action of the telescopic rod 13, the stability of the baffle 3 rotation is further improved. When the coal feeding amount reaches the target, stop the first motor 10. The self-locking property of the first worm wheel 8 and the first worm 9 keeps the baffle 3 stopped at the current position. At the same time, start the second motor 22. The second worm gear 21 is driven to rotate, and the second worm gear 21 meshes with the second worm wheel 20, thereby driving the second worm wheel 20 to rotate. The second worm wheel 20 drives the fourth gear 18 to rotate through the second connecting rod 19. The fourth gear 18 meshes with the third gear 17, causing the third gear 17 to rotate. The third gear 17 drives the second rotating rod 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the unblocking rod 15 to rotate, unblocking the coal discharge port 2 and preventing the coal mine from blocking the coal discharge port 2, resulting in low coal discharge efficiency. When the gangue content of the coal flow reaches the set value or when it is necessary to stop coal discharge, the second motor 22 is stopped first when the top surface of the unblocking rod 15 is flush with the top surface of the baffle 3, so that the unblocking rod 15 can act as a sealing baffle 3. Then the first motor 10 is reversed, driving the baffle 3 to rotate around the first rotating rod 4, closing the coal discharge port 2 and stopping the first motor 10. Finally, the power supply wire is disconnected.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
