Hydromechanical planer with cutting and breaking heads
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6569811
A hydromatic planer particularly for mining materials in a mining seam is comprised of a planer housing which advantageously has a cutting and breaking head on each end thereof, each of which includes a substantially identical construction. Each cutting head includes a vertically arranged support member which is mounted on the housing of the planer by a parallel linkage so that it may be moved upwardly and downwardly under the control of an adjustment means such as a fluid pressure operated piston and cylinder combination. Each cutting and breaking head also includes a first substantially vertically arranged support member which is connected by the linkage for upward and downward movement relative to the housing and a second support member which is movable relative to the first and mounted on this first in vertical guides for upward and downward movement. A second fluid pressure operated piston and cylinder combination is connected between first and second support members so that they may be shifted relative to each other. A second support member advantageously carries a cutting and breaking wedge which is oriented to engage the mining seam, for example, on a side thereof, and which may be adjusted relative to a similarly oriented cutting and breaking wedge carried by the first member. In addition, a separate cutting and breaking wedge is carried by the first member and it may be engaged for example against the floor thereof in a plane different from the other two wedges.
