The invention relates to a
coal mining
machine traction system and a control method thereof. The
system comprises a
coal mining
machine traction control module, a
transformer, a traction
contactor and an explosion-proof integrated variable frequency motor, and the
transformer, the traction
contactor and the explosion-proof integrated variable frequency motor are sequentially connected. The primary side of the
transformer is a power supply input end of the
coal mining
machine, the control input end of a control loop of the traction
contactor is connected with the control output end of the
coal mining machine traction control module, the control module of the explosion-proof integrated variable frequency motor is in two-way communication connection with the
coal mining machine traction control module, and the
coal mining machine traction control module is provided with an information
interaction interface. The method comprises a start control method, a stop control method and a speed control method. The overall occupied space of the
traction system of the coal mining machine can be reduced, wiring of the
traction system is reduced, the installation and debugging complexity of the coal mining machine is reduced, meanwhile, the
frequency conversion assembly and the motor share the heat dissipation device, the design cost and the accessory cost are reduced, and
miniaturization of the coal mining machine is facilitated.
