Xieqiao Coal Mine Steep Hard Rock

Scene description

Xieqiao Mine, steep slope, hard rock, full section F13 quartz sandstone, with a slope of 15 degrees up the mountain. During excavation, the tunneling machine is prone to slipping, with high walking resistance, cutting resistance, severe vibration, high equipment failure rate, long maintenance time, and short reserved time for maintenance

Our Solution

01Cutting Section

Efficient Cutting Core Of Hard Rock

The cutting head adopts a three spiral patented step tooth design, matched with a high-strength wear-resistant cutting tooth seat. Large alloy head diameter high-strength cutting teeth are selected, and chromium steel composite wear-resistant steel plates are laid on the spiral groove to double strengthen the wear resistance and cutting efficiency. Compared with traditional design, the cutting efficiency is increased by 40%, and the wear resistance is increased by 50%, effectively reducing the cutting tooth loss and operation resistance during F13 hard rock cutting.

 

The cutting motor is equipped with a 280KW single speed motor and a dedicated cutting reducer, which accurately matches the cutting conditions of hard rocks and sets a reasonable speed. The power output is stable and strong, which can easily meet the high-strength cutting needs of F13 grade hard rocks.

The cantilever section adopts a three group bearing load distribution system, optimizing the load-bearing structure and increasing the axial load-bearing capacity by 150%; Equipped with a dedicated oil leakage prevention design, it has excellent sealing performance and a bearing service life of over 8000 hours, significantly reducing the frequency of underground maintenance.

 

The toothed coupling integrates the dual advantages of rigid and flexible couplings, with a depth of up to 35mm and a 65% increase in torsional strength compared to traditional couplings. It can effectively buffer the vibration and impact during hard rock cutting, protect cutting system components, and improve overall stability.

02Walking Part

Large Slope Safety Adaptation

The walking system is equipped with a tension adjustable device and a high torque walking motor, with a single motor torque of ≥ 45kN · m and abundant power output; The track shoes are designed with deepened anti slip teeth to enhance friction with the ground. The overall climbing ability of the machine can reach 22 °, far exceeding the requirements of 15 ° uphill operations, effectively eliminating the hidden dangers of slipping and sliding during steep slope operations.

 

Both the front and rear of the walking frame are designed with sliding shoe structures, which can effectively reduce the load-bearing pressure of the supporting wheels, reduce component wear, significantly improve the service life of the walking system, and adapt to long-term operations in complex road conditions underground.

03Whole Machine Structure

Stable And Durable, Suitable For Extreme Working Conditions

The key load-bearing structures of the entire vehicle are made of Q460 high-strength steel, which is tough and durable, with outstanding impact and deformation resistance, and is suitable for high-frequency vibration conditions during hard rock excavation. The total weight of the machine is ≥ 110t.

 

By optimizing the center of gravity design, the center of gravity can be lowered, and the ground pressure of the track can be optimized to effectively prevent the forward tilt and rollover of the machine body during steep slope operations. The vibration amplitude during cutting operations is small, further improving the stability and safety of the equipment.

04Cooling System

Heavy-Duty Long-Term Heat Dissipation

In response to the high temperature pain points of heavy load and continuous operation on steep slopes in hard rocks, an enlarged plate fin cooler has been replaced. The heat dissipation area is increased by more than 30% compared to traditional coolers, and the heat dissipation efficiency is greatly improved.

 

It can effectively control the temperature of hydraulic oil and motors, avoid equipment power reduction and shutdown failures caused by high temperatures, and ensure continuous and stable operation of equipment.

05Hydraulic System

Strong And Stable, Impact Resistant

Adopting load sensitive control and constant power variable plunger pump hydraulic system, with reasonable power distribution, on-demand oil supply, reduced throttling heating, and improved energy utilization efficiency; The main pump displacement adopts a dual pump configuration of 280+280 mL/r, with sufficient output power to meet the requirements of heavy-duty operations.

 

The execution mechanism has been comprehensively upgraded, with constant oil cylinders used for cutting lifting, rotation, shovel lifting, rear support, etc. By increasing the cylinder diameter and rod diameter design, the power output and impact resistance are improved; Both Yiyun and Xinglun are equipped with high displacement and high torque internal curve motors, providing strong power and completely solving the problem of jamming during hard rock operations, ensuring the continuity of operations.

06Electrical System

Safe And Stable, Suitable For Underground Environment

Adopting self-developed electrical control system, the core electrical components are imported products with strong stability and outstanding anti-interference ability, which can adapt to the complex electrical environment underground.

 

The operation box adopts a three-layer waterproof design with a protection level of IP67, completely solving the industry pain points of water ingress during underground roof spraying and unit flushing, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the electrical system.

07Lubrication System

Convenient And Easy To Maintain

Optimize the lubrication system design by redesigning the connection pin lubrication method of the shovel plate and the main body to an external replaceable lubrication steel pipe structure.

 

The oil injection operation is convenient and efficient, while the appearance is clean and beautiful, effectively improving lubrication maintenance efficiency, reducing equipment failures, and extending the service life of components.
