The invention discloses a fully mechanized coal mining face routing inspection method. By virtue of a set of fully mechanized coal mining face routing inspection device, a routing inspection mode or machine tracking mode is set according to the work requirement; when the routing inspection mode is adopted, a speed value is set, and the fully mechanized coal mining face routing inspection device can freely operate in a speed not larger than 60m/min, so that the working condition of the whole coal mining face is rapidly subjected to routing inspection; when the machine tracking mode is adopted, the operation speed and direction of a coal mining machine are collected in real time by a monitoring center, and the speeds of an apparatus platform and the coal mining machine are controlled consistent by a frequency converter and a driving motor. Reliable and convenient routing inspection device and routing inspection method are provided for the fully mechanized coal mining face; only a high-definition camera is mounted on the whole coal mining face for video surveillance, so that the rapid routing inspection of the whole coal mining face can be realized, and the investment cost is greatly reduced; the routing inspection device is provided with the apparatus platform, various apparatuses can be conveniently carried by the apparatus platform, so that convenience is provided for coal mining face alignment, coal and rock decomposition, coal gangue identification and other scientific research as well as the installation of a sensor, and convenience, reliability and easiness in maintenance are realized.
