Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of downhole support equipment, and in particular relates to an end support that can increase the wall area. Background Technology
[0002] Hydraulic supports are structures used to control mine pressure in coal mining faces. The mine pressure acts on the hydraulic supports as an external load. In the mechanical system of interaction between the hydraulic supports and the surrounding rock of the mining face, if the resultant force of all supporting components of the hydraulic support is exactly linear with the resultant force of the external load acting on the hydraulic support from the roof, then the hydraulic support is highly suitable for the surrounding rock of that mining face.
[0003] End supports are hydraulic supports used to maintain the roof of the roadway at the end of a coal mining face. They are typically placed close to the head supports, providing sufficient column-free space at the end of the face for moving the tail of the transfer machine and the head of the conveyor, and also preventing the face supports from tilting. End supports can be classified into two types according to their arrangement in the roadway and their relationship with the conveyor head: head-supporting type and head-moving type.
[0004] Existing end supports have problems such as small support area, easy coal spillage, and missed areas. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an end support that can increase the protective wall area, so as to solve the problems of small support area, easy coal spillage, and missed areas in the existing end supports.

The fixed end of the third hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the top support beam, and its movable end extends to the side and is fixedly connected to the lower end of the third guard plate. The upper end of the third guard plate is hinged to the top support beam. The third hydraulic cylinder is used to push the third guard plate to rotate around its hinge point with the top support beam, thereby unfolding to support the roof of the roadway.
[0008] Below the third guard plate, there is a fourth hydraulic cylinder and a fourth guard plate. The fixed end of the fourth hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the lower end of the third guard plate, and its movable end extends to the side and is fixedly connected to the middle of the fourth guard plate. The upper end of the fourth guard plate is hinged to the lower end of the third guard plate. The fourth hydraulic cylinder is used to push the fourth guard plate to rotate around the hinge point between it and the third guard plate, thereby unfolding to support the roof and sidewalls of the roadway.

The fixed end of the fifth hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the middle of the fourth guard plate, and its movable end extends to the side and is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fifth guard plate. The upper end of the fifth guard plate is hinged to the lower end of the fourth guard plate. The fifth hydraulic cylinder is used to push the fifth guard plate to rotate around the hinge point between it and the fourth guard plate, thereby unfolding to support the sidewall of the roadway.

The fixed end of the first hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the central support rod, and its movable end is fixedly connected to the top support beam. It is used to push the top support beam to move upward, thereby supporting the top of the roadway.
[0011] Furthermore, a second hydraulic cylinder is provided on the upper side of the fixed horizontal plate. The fixed end of the second hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the fixed horizontal plate, and its movable end extends upward and is fixedly connected to the top support beam. It is used to cooperate with the first hydraulic cylinder to push the top support beam upward, thereby supporting the top of the roadway.
[0012] Furthermore, a sixth hydraulic cylinder is provided between the fixed horizontal plates of the front frame and the rear frame. The fixed end of the sixth hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the rear side of the fixed horizontal plate of the front frame, and its movable end is fixed to the front side of the fixed horizontal plate of the rear frame. It is used to push the front frame forward when it extends and to pull the rear frame forward when it retracts, thereby completing the stepping self-movement.
[0013] Furthermore, the middle support rod is composed of an upper support rod and a lower support rod that are hinged together. Both the upper and lower support rods are inclined and set at an obtuse angle. The fixed end of the first oil cylinder is fixed on the upper support rod near its lower end.
[0014] Furthermore, a seventh hydraulic cylinder is installed between the two symmetrically arranged front frames to secure them together and prevent tipping.
[0015] Furthermore, an eighth hydraulic cylinder is installed between the two symmetrically arranged rear frames to secure them together and prevent tipping.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

The front frame and the rear frame are symmetrically placed on both sides of the transfer machine to form a complete end support; the large working space ensures the coordinated operation of the end equipment.
[0018] This utility model is equipped with a third guard plate, a fourth guard plate, and a fifth guard plate, and the third, fourth, and fifth guard plates are controlled by a third, fourth, and fifth hydraulic cylinder, thereby greatly increasing the support area of the support and also providing partial support for the roadway sidewalls.

[0035] Place the utility model in the tunnel in its retracted state, then activate each hydraulic cylinder to fully unfold the utility model, thereby supporting the top and side walls of the tunnel. After the support is completed, retract the utility model again and transport it back to the surface.
[0036] The unfolding method of this utility model is as follows:
[0037] The first hydraulic cylinder (21) is activated, causing it to extend and push the top support beam (14) upward, thereby supporting the top of the tunnel.
[0038] The second hydraulic cylinder (22) is activated, causing it to extend and, in conjunction with the first hydraulic cylinder (21), push the top support beam (14) upward, thereby supporting the top of the tunnel.

[0040] The fourth hydraulic cylinder (17) is activated, causing it to extend and the fourth guard plate (18) to rotate outward and upward with its upper hinge point as the center, thereby fully unfolding the fourth guard plate (18) and supporting the top and side walls of the tunnel.
[0041] Start the fifth hydraulic cylinder (19) so that the fifth hydraulic cylinder (19) extends and the fifth guard plate (20) rotates outward continuously with its upper hinge point as the center, so that the fifth guard plate (20) is fully unfolded and supports the side wall of the roadway.
[0042] The sixth cylinder (23) is activated, causing it to extend and push the front frame (10) forward. When it retracts, it pulls the rear frame (11) forward, thus completing the stepping self-movement.
[0043] The seventh cylinder is activated, causing it to extend and fix and support the two front frames (10).
[0044] The eighth cylinder is activated, causing it to extend and fix and support the two rear frames (11).
