Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coal mining equipment technology, and in particular to a cutting arm for a coal mining tunneling machine with a quick-change tunneling head. Background Technology
[0002] The cutting arm of a coal mining tunneling machine, as the most core and forward-facing functional actuator and power transmission component of a modern integrated mechanized tunneling machine (referred to as "tunnel boring machine"), can be systematically defined as follows: The cutting arm is the core working unit on the coal mining tunneling machine that undertakes the task of directly breaking coal and rock. Essentially, it is a heavy-duty mechanical cantilever system integrating high-strength structural support, high-power power transmission, complex spatial motion trajectory control, and efficient rock-breaking and cutting functions. Its main structure typically consists of a rigid cantilever cylinder made of high-strength steel plates welded or precision-machined from large alloy castings, forming the core skeleton. The main drive shaft (or housing a hydraulic motor drive system) that transmits enormous torque is arranged throughout this cylinder, and the front end... The cutting head (with densely packed carbide-embedded pick-shaped cutting teeth) that directly performs coal and rock breaking tasks is rigidly connected via a large flange or spline. The rear end is reliably connected to the main frame of the tunneling machine through a heavy-duty slewing bearing (or hinged support) to achieve multiple degrees of freedom (usually at least two basic degrees of freedom: vertical lifting and horizontal swing). In terms of power, the cutting arm is driven by a built-in gearbox (for motor-driven type) or directly by a high-pressure, high-flow hydraulic system (for hydraulic motor-driven type). The power generated by the prime mover (high-power electric motor or hydraulic pump station) of the tunneling machine body is efficiently transmitted to the cutting head after multi-stage reduction and torque amplification, driving it to rotate at a high speed of tens to hundreds of revolutions per minute.
[0003] Currently, the tunneling head is generally connected to the cutting arm using high-strength bolts or hydraulic clamping devices. This connection method takes a long time to operate and can easily affect the user's operation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a coal mining tunneling machine cutting arm that can quickly replace the tunneling head to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] Furthermore, the number of movable rods and mounting rods 4 are the same and correspond one-to-one.
[0022] Furthermore, the cutting arm of the coal mining tunneling machine with quick-change tunneling head also includes a mounting cover 25, in which a second motor 26 is installed, the output end of which passes through the mounting cover 25 and is connected to the center of the other side of the turntable 1.

[0025] Furthermore, the card block 16 is compatible with the card slot 5.
[0026] Operating procedures
[0027] When replacing the tunneling head, the first motor 8 is started to drive the disc 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting column 10, the first ring 11, and the connecting rod 12 to move, forcing the first rack 18 on the second ring 13 to move synchronously in a circular motion; the first rack 18 drives the second gear 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 22 to rotate through the rotating rod 21; the first gear 22 meshes with the second rack 24 on the moving rod 14, pushing all the moving rods 14 to slide radially outward along the square rod 17, so that the locking block 16 completely exits from the slot 5 of the installation rod 4 of the tunneling head 3; at this time, the second motor 26 is started, driving the turntable 1 and the cutting arm 2 to rotate to the maintenance position, and the old tunneling head 3 is pulled out of the slide groove of the cutting arm 2 along with the installation rod 4; after the new tunneling head 3 is inserted, the first motor 8 rotates in reverse, and the moving rod 14 moves inward through the rack-gear reverse transmission, and the locking block 16 is re-wedged into the slot 5 to complete the mechanical locking; the guide rod 29 restrains the axial swing of the tunneling head 3 throughout the entire process.
[0028] Beneficial effects
[0029] This invention fundamentally solves the safety and efficiency problems of replacing the underground tunneling head. Through the linkage mechanism driven by the first motor 8, all the locking blocks 16 are simultaneously disengaged from the locking slot 5. Unlocking can be completed without personnel contacting the cutting arm, completely avoiding high-risk operations in narrow spaces.
