[0030] This application provides a coal mining machine drum drive structure, including a rocker arm 2 and a drum 1 rotatably arranged on the rocker arm 2. The rocker arm 2 also houses a slewing bearing power transmission device. The slewing bearing power transmission device has an output ring 8 connecting to the drum 1 and an internal gear ring 6 for power connection to a power drive device. The drum 1 of the coal mining machine is mounted on the rocker arm 2, and the rotational power is transmitted to the drum 1 through the slewing bearing power transmission device inside the rocker arm 2. The slewing bearing power transmission device connects to the drum 1 via the output ring 8 and to the power drive device via the internal gear ring 6. Utilizing the annular structure of the internal gear ring 6, power can be output by arranging multiple drive devices 3 at multiple points on the internal gear ring 6, providing space for drive device arrangement. Furthermore, through flexible drive device configuration, multiple drive devices can be set up to jointly output power according to work requirements, effectively solving the problem of insufficient power in existing single-drive methods.

[0031] In a specific embodiment of this case, the rocker arm 2 has a rocker arm support cylinder 21 extending along a first direction, and the drum 1 has a rotating cylinder 11 rotatably mounted on the rocker arm support cylinder 21; the slewing bearing 7 is coaxially arranged inside the rocker arm support cylinder 21. The rocker arm 2 is fitted with the coal mining machine drum 1 through the rocker arm support cylinder 21. The slewing bearing 7 is arranged using the cylindrical structure of the rocker arm support cylinder 21. The drive device 3 is connected by the internal gear ring 6 of the slewing bearing 7, and the output ring 8 is connected to the coal mining machine drum 1 through the shaft end of the internal gear ring 6, thereby realizing the transmission of power.

[0032] In one specific embodiment of this case, the slewing bearing power transmission device has a gearbox 5 arranged inside the rocker arm support cylinder 21, and a slewing bearing 7 for power transmission is arranged inside the gearbox 5. The gearbox 5 is installed on the inner ring of the rocker arm support cylinder 21 for mounting the slewing bearing 7. The internal gear ring 6 of the slewing bearing 7 is coaxially connected to the output ring 8, and the output ring 8 and the internal gear ring 6 are axially connected as one unit by a screw 81. In this embodiment, the gearbox 5 serves as the outer ring of the slewing bearing, or an independent outer ring of the slewing bearing 7 can be provided and connected to the gearbox 5 as one unit.

[0033] In one specific embodiment of this case, the power drive device includes a plurality of drive power sources 3 arranged circumferentially along the internal gear ring 6 and engaged with the internal gear ring 6 in gear transmission.

[0034] Preferably, the driving power source 3 includes a drive motor, a fuel engine, or a hydraulic motor.

[0035] In another specific embodiment of this case, the driving power source 3 also has a reduction device 4 for reducing the output power. Preferably, the reduction device is a gearbox.

[0036] Taking the drive power source 3 as an example, the drive motor is an electric motor, with multiple motors arranged in a ring. Power is transmitted to the internal gear ring 6 via gear transmission, employing a multi-motor collaborative operation mode. The power generated by each motor is reduced in speed and increased in torque by a carefully matched reducer before being directly applied to the drum, driving its rotation. The parallel operation of multiple motors outputs strong and stable power, effectively solving the problem of insufficient power in traditional single-drive methods. This is particularly suitable for scenarios requiring high torque for efficient excavation and conveying operations, such as those involving hard rock or other harsh mining conditions. This direct drive method reduces energy loss in the transmission process, improves energy efficiency, and lowers the risk of failure due to intermediate transmission components. This makes the entire mining equipment more stable and reliable, significantly reducing maintenance costs and providing a solid guarantee for the efficient operation of large-scale open-pit mining operations.

[0037] In one specific embodiment of this case, a sealing structure for sealing the interior of the gearbox is further provided between the rocker arm support cylinder 21 and the rotating cylinder 11. Further, the sealing structure includes a first sealing ring 9 disposed between the support cylinder 21 and the output ring 8, and a second sealing ring 10 disposed between the output ring 8 and the inner ring connecting the internal gear ring 6.

[0038] Furthermore, both the first sealing ring 9 and the second sealing ring 10 are skeleton oil seal rings. In the complex working conditions of large-scale open-pit mining, the sealing performance of the equipment is crucial, directly affecting its stable operation and service life. In this embodiment, the coal mining machine drum achieves high torque drive through multiple electric motors, and its sealing design employs a multi-layer skeleton oil seal system. These seals work closely together, ensuring safety and reliability. The multi-layered oil seal system effectively resists the intrusion of various impurities such as dust, mud, and moisture, ensuring the cleanliness and safety of critical internal components even in harsh working environments. This multi-layered skeleton oil seal system has undergone extensive testing and verification under actual working conditions, demonstrating extremely high reliability. It significantly reduces the probability of equipment failure due to seal failure, decreases maintenance frequency and costs, and provides a solid guarantee for the long-term stable and efficient operation of the equipment.

[0039] Based on the coal mining machine drum drive structure provided in the above embodiments, the present invention also provides a coal mining machine, including a coal mining machine drum for coal mining operations, wherein the coal mining machine drum provided on the coal mining machine has the coal mining machine drum drive structure provided in the above embodiments.

[0040] Since the coal mining machine adopts the coal mining machine drum drive structure of the above embodiment, please refer to the above embodiment for the beneficial effects brought by the coal mining machine drum drive structure.

[0041] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
