The invention discloses a drag shovel multipurpose car and a method for enabling an underground support to enter a cage. The drag shovel multipurpose car can convey a whole hydraulic support to the cage once without need of disassembling the hydraulic support, and during the process from entry of the whole hydraulic support into the cage until retreat of the drag shovel multipurpose car, the drag shovel multipurpose car guarantees that the cage is not overweight and simultaneously guarantees that the gravity center of the hydraulic support is located in a needed position in the cage, and thereby guarantees that the gravity center of the cage does not shift. The drag shovel multipurpose car and the method for enabling the underground support to enter the cage solve use risk caused due to the fact that the support is disassembled so as to descend a well, avoids time loss caused by disassembly and assembly of the support, improves descending speed of the support, improves production efficiency, reduces coal mine production cost, and easily controls the support during the conveying process of the support. The drag shovel multipurpose car can achieve fast switching between a drag car and a shovel car, wherein the drag car is used to complete transport work of hauling the support for a long distance and enabling the support to enter the cage, and can be rapidly switched to the shovel car after the transport work of the underground support is finished, and the shovel car is used to transport goods for a short distance. Furthermore, the drag shovel multipurpose car for enabling the underground support to enter the cage obtains multiple functions, and accordingly the production cost is reduced, and resource waste is avoided.
