Cutting Mechanical Study of Pick Cutting Coal Seams with Coal and Rock Interface
Abstract Shearer provide an effect solution for mining coal, and the cutting performance of pick largely accouts for the ability of a shearer and mining performance. We conducted pick cutting coal experiments in different seam forms on the coal and rock cutting teasted. According to the rotary cutting mechanical model of single pick cutting coal seam, combined with the strength condition of coal seam and coal-rock interface, the rotary cutting mechanical model of pick cutting coal seam with coal-rock interface is established. The stress strain and strength condition of the area in and around the interface are analyzed based on the coal-rock interface crushing theory, which provides basis for further research on the cutting mechanical model of single pick crossing the coal-rock interface. According to the analysis on the ampulitude domain, the phenomenon that force increment between the pick cutting rock and uniform coal seam linearly increases with the increase of compressive strength difference between coal seam and coal-rock interface, and the load fluctuation keep a positive correlation with the compressive strength. Analysis on the signals of the pick cutting coal seam with coal and rock interface at different conditions shows that some basic properties of the cutting load changes over times. In addition, the coal seam with coal-rock interface appears larger impact load and other time-domain characteristics.
