The 0.9m-high cutting height coal mining machine developed by the Shanghai Research Institute of China Coal Science has been successfully deployed, boasting the highest installed power capacity in the world. This is a remarkable achievement for China’s chemical engineering technology and equipment; your participation in discussions is the greatest encouragement. **********************【Ten Years of Progress in Chemical Engineering Equipment】A continuously updated summary thread – feel free to join the discussions: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html ***************** Recently, the 0.9m-high cutting height, high-performance intelligent coal mining machine developed by the Shanghai Research Institute of China Coal Science was successfully put into industrial use in mining areas in Sichuan Province. It managed to overcome the challenges associated with complex geological conditions such as very low cutting heights, large inclination angles, and a high proportion of faults, marking a significant breakthrough in China’s technology for mining thin coal seams in an intelligent manner. This coal miner is suitable for mining heights ranging from 0.9m to 1.3m, with a maximum installed power of 830kW – making it the coal miner with the highest installed power in its category worldwide. This high power level provides strong support for it to overcome faults and operate under complex conditions. The optimized design of the aircraft’s fuselage structure addresses the core conflict between extremely low mining heights and limited mining spaces on one hand, and high power output on the other, thereby maximizing space utilization ； Equipped with a rocker arm that provides strong cutting capability and ultra-wear-resistant rock-breaking drums, along with a high-torque heavy-duty traction system, it effectively addresses the industry challenges associated with shearers being unable to cut effectively or move quickly in complex geological conditions. It performs exceptionally well when working through faults, demonstrating outstanding capacity for overcoming such difficulties ； The equipment is equipped with a highly reliable redundant communication system, a high-performance electronic control system, and an intelligent operation and maintenance system. It features a planning and cutting system based on real-time geological data of the working face, as well as an inertial navigation system, which enables millimeter-level path planning and automatic alignment, ensuring efficient, stable, and safe operation under extreme conditions. The coal seam conditions in this mine are extremely complex, and it has long faced difficulties such as the lack of suitable coal mining machines, low mining efficiency, and severe waste of resources. The coal seam thickness ranges from 0.6 m to 1.1 m, the hardness of the roof and floor rocks is between f5 and f8, the inclination angle of the working face is 35° to 38°, and in some areas, faults account for over 60% of the features in the working face. Once in operation, this model is able to advance smoothly and steadily under conditions of large inclination angles and high densities of faults, enabling efficient coal mining in both directions. Its actual performance far exceeds expectations; it not only meets the mining company’s requirements but also raises the efficiency of mining thin coal seams as well as the resource recovery rate to new levels, thereby generating significant economic and social benefits for the mine. The successful application of this type of coal mining machine indicates that the Shanghai Research Institute of China Coal Science has developed a comprehensive range of equipment for mining thin coal seams with thicknesses of less than 1 meter, further solidifying its leading position in the field of technologies for mining thin coal seams. This is a vivid illustration of enterprises’ thorough implementation of an innovation-driven development strategy and their unwavering commitment to pursuing high-end, intelligent mining methods. It also represents the responsibility of our era to overcome bottlenecks in energy development through self-developed equipment and to promote high-quality development in the coal industry through technological progress. Looking to the future, the Shanghai Research Institute of China Coal Science and Technology will continue to take on its responsibilities with determination and pursue innovation, making greater contributions to ensuring energy security and leading the way in the intelligent mining of thin coal seams worldwide.
