Abstract

In order to study the dynamic characteristics of the shearer with large mining height of 8.8 m under Oblique cutting, the spatial mechanical model of the Shearer under oblique cutting was established, the angle between the drum and the working face, the load of the drum and the dynamic characteristics of the fuselage are analyzed by discrete element method and dynamics. The results show that the maximum feed rate of the front drum is 1940mm, the maximum feed rate of the back drum is 1570mm, and the angle between the front drum and the coal wall reaches a maximum of 8° at 64s, and the cutting resistance of the front drum reaches a maximum at 80s, and finally fluctuates up and down at 3.5×10⁵N, the cutting resistance of the back drum increases with the cutting depth, and finally fluctuates up and down at 3.0×10⁵N. The load of the front drum is 1.2 times of that of the back drum. In the process of Oblique cutting, the support force on the lower surface of the front sliding shoe increases by 3.5×10⁵N, the support force on the lower surface of the rear sliding shoe decreases by 2.5×10⁵N, the support force on the upper surface of the front guiding sliding shoe increases by 1.1×10⁵N, and the support force on the upper surface of the rear guiding sliding shoe decreases by 2.3×10⁵N, the whole machine has the tendency of forward turning and side turning to the coal wall. The average radial force between the front rocker arm and the fuselage pin is about 1.8×10⁶N, the average radial force between the front cylinder and the fuselage pin is about 2.2×10⁶N, and the average radial force between the rear rocker arm and the fuselage pin is about 8.0×10⁵N, the average radial force between the rear cylinder and the PIN shaft is about 1.3×10⁶N, which shows that the radial force at the front of the fuselage, the rocker arm and the height of the pin shaft is obviously larger than that at the rear of the fuselage. The research results are important for the design and development of large mining height shearer.
