AI Technical Summary
Traditional coal mining machine spiral drums lack radial vertical cutting capability, resulting in low equipment operating efficiency, high energy consumption, rapid wear, and difficulty in dynamically adjusting the cutting depth according to the coal seam hardness. Especially under complex geological conditions, jamming or overload is likely to occur.
A drum structure was designed, including an end assembly, a mounting housing, a drive assembly, and a guide key. The drive assembly drives the mounting housing to reciprocate along the axis, achieving vertical feed of the drum. Combined with the conical blade structure of the coal crushing end plate, the crushing force of the coal wall is enhanced, and the guide key ensures the smoothness of the movement and the uniformity of the force.
It enables coal cutting operations to be completed without moving the entire machine, improving work efficiency, reducing equipment wear and maintenance costs, expanding the range of cutting depth adjustment, and enhancing the equipment's adaptability to complex geological conditions.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0031] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a roller structure is provided; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 The drum structure includes: end assembly 1: rotatably mounted on the rocker arm of the coal mining machine via drive shaft 2; mounting housing 3: cutting teeth 4 on the periphery and end for cutting the coal wall, and the mounting cavity 5 inside it accommodates part of the end assembly 1; drive assembly 6: connecting the end assembly 1 and the mounting housing 3, and driving the mounting housing 3 to reciprocate along the axis.
[0032] With the above configuration, the drive component 6 pushes the mounting housing 3 to extend and retract, enabling the drum to feed vertically. This allows the coal cutting operation to be completed without moving the entire machine, thus improving work efficiency.
[0033] See Figure 1 In this embodiment, the mounting housing 3 of the drum structure includes: a sleeve 7: an externally welded spiral drum 8, on which cutting teeth 4 are installed for crushing and loading coal; and an end cap 9: the end of the sleeve 7 is connected by bolts, and the cutting teeth 4 of the conical blade structure of its coal crushing end plate 10 enhance the crushing force of the coal wall.
[0034] With the above configuration, the conical design of the coal crushing end plate 10 improves the coal wall crushing efficiency, and the spiral drum 8 and the cutting teeth 4 work together to achieve integrated cutting and loading.
[0035] The guide key 11 ensures that the telescopic movement of the mounting housing 3 is free from radial offset, thus reducing vibration.
[0036] Specifically, in some embodiments, four guide keys 11 are provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 7, and the connecting flange 18 of the end assembly 1 slides within the keyway groove. The evenly distributed four guide keys 11 ensure the smooth operation of the roller structure.
[0037] See Figure 1 In this embodiment, the guide slide key 11 of the roller structure is parallel to the axis of the cylindrical mounting cavity 5 and is evenly distributed circumferentially.
[0038] With the above configuration, the multi-key surround layout ensures uniform force distribution, avoids unilateral wear, and extends service life; the cylindrical mounting cavity 5 ensures precise motion trajectory.
[0039] See Figure 1 In this embodiment, an installation gap 12 is provided between the end assembly 1 and the end cover 9 of the roller structure, and a drive cylinder 13 is built in. The cylinder is fixed on the end assembly 1, and the piston rod is connected to the mounting hole of the end cover 9.
[0040] Specifically, in some embodiments, two sets of drive cylinders 13 are built into the installation gap 12. The dual drive cylinders 13 provide symmetrical driving force and large thrust, ensuring stable extension and retraction under heavy load.
[0041] See Figure 1 In this embodiment, the drive shaft 2 of the roller structure is divided into: a fixed component 14 with a built-in drive channel, through which the drive pipe 15 passes and connects to the drive cylinder 13; and a rotating component 16 that rotates relative to the fixed component 14 via a bearing, with an outer flange connecting to the sleeve 7.
[0042] With the above configuration, the drive pipe 15 is integrated inside the fixed component 14, and the drive pipe 15 supplies oil to the drive cylinder 13 to avoid oil pipe entanglement; the rotating component 16 directly transmits torque to the spiral drum 8.
[0043] In some embodiments, the axis of the rotating component 16 coincides with the center of the drive channel.
[0044] By adopting the above settings, the coaxial design eliminates eccentric vibration, ensures smooth rotation, and improves the dynamic balance accuracy of the drum.
[0045] Specifically, there are two drive cylinders 13, symmetrically arranged in the installation gap 12; the mounting hole of the end cover 9 is adapted to the threaded end of the piston rod.
[0046] With the above configuration, the dual-cylinder redundancy design prevents single-point failure; the threaded connection of the mounting holes ensures impact resistance.
[0047] See Figure 1 In this embodiment, the drive shaft 2 is provided with a connecting flange 18 at its end, the outer edge of which slides with the inner wall of the sleeve 7. The connecting flange 18 is made of 35 forged steel. The wear resistance of the 35 forged steel connecting flange 18 is increased by 3 times, and the sliding fit structure shares the radial load of the guide key 11.
[0048] The coal mining machine in this embodiment is equipped with the aforementioned drum structure, and the cutting depth adjustment range is 0.8–1.5m. This enables mining without repeated cutting across the entire working face, increasing the daily output of the fully mechanized mining face by 25%.
[0049] The working process of the coal mining machine in this embodiment is as follows:
[0050] 1. Initial positioning:
[0051] The rocker arm of the coal mining machine drives the entire drum structure to cut into the coal wall. At this time, the drive cylinder 13 is in a retracted state, and the mounting housing 3 retracts to the vicinity of the end assembly 1. The minimum drum cutting depth is 0.8m.
[0052] 2. Vertical feed cutting:
[0053] Oil supply drive: Hydraulic oil is input into the drive cylinder 13 through the drive pipe 15 inside the fixed component 14 of the drive shaft 2;
[0054] Telescopic propulsion: The piston rod of the drive cylinder 13 extends, pushing the end cover 9 and the mounting housing 3 to slide outward along the guide key 11. See [link / reference] Figure 3 In the direction of the arrow, the spiral drum 8 outside the sleeve 7 and the coal breaking end plate 10 of the end cover 9 move forward synchronously;
[0055] Rotary cutting: The rotating component 16 of the drive shaft 2 drives the mounting housing 3 to rotate, the cutting teeth 4 break the coal wall, and at the same time the conical blades of the coal breaking end plate 10 efficiently tear the coal body.
[0056] 3. Maximum travel operation:
[0057] When the drive cylinder 13 is fully extended, the mounting housing 3 reaches a maximum cutting depth of 1.5m, and the blades of the spiral drum 8 transport the crushed coal to the middle of the coal mining machine, completing the coal cutting at the current position.
[0058] 4. Retraction and repositioning
[0059] Hydraulic oil is input in reverse to drive cylinder 13, and piston rod pulls end cover 9 to retract housing 3 along guide key 11; the coal mining machine moves laterally to the next coal cutting position and repeats steps 1-3 for continuous mining.
