The invention discloses a method for mechanically mining
coal by using a steep seam pseudo inclination bracing type retractable flexible shield support. By the method, a steep seam
coal mining
machine and a bracing type retractable flexible shield support are provided. The method comprises the following steps of: 1, mining, namely mining by arranging the
coal mining
machine on a pseudo inclination working surface; 2, loading and transporting the coal, namely raking a falling coal body to a conveying mechanism and conveying the falling coal body to the rear part of the
coal mining machine by using left and right gathering arms of the
coal mining machine, sliding the falling coal body to a coal sliding hole
truck loading point through a sliding chute, loading and transporting; 3, supporting an operating area, namely arranging the bracing type retractable flexible shield support in the operating area; 4, ventilating the working surface; 5, atomizing for dust removal; 6, exploiting upper triangle coal; and 7, recycling lower triangle coal, namely dredging a finishing
cut, lowering the shield support to a horizontal position gradually, disassembling and decomposing the
coal mining machine, transporting to the next
stoping working surface and completely recycling the shield support when the working surface is propelled to a place neara district rise hole. By the method, the problems of low
recovery ratio, low
mechanization degree, low single yield of the working surface, severe
working environment,
high probability of malignant accidents and the like in domestic and oversea steep seams can be radically solved.
