Abstract: Variable speed cutting of shearer was studied, in order to solve the practical problem that the cutting performance of the drum shearer decreases when changing the hauling speed only. Considering the feasibility and reliability of variable speed cutting, the hardness of the coal seam was divided into several ranges by its cutting impedance. Aiming at the weighted average optimization of lump coal rate, cutting energy consumption rate and productivity, the cutting motion parameters of shearer were optimized. Besides, variaous speed control strategies of conditions caused by cutting impedance change were compared, and the speed control strategies for the best cutting performance of different conditions were obtained. The results provide a good reference for the research of high efficiency variable speed cutting.

Key words: shearer, parameters optimization, cutting performance, variable speed cutting, speed control
