Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of roadway support, and particularly to an overhead walking type self-shifting support robot. Background Art

[0002] At present, the installation of roadway support frames mainly relies on manual labor. Due to the narrow roadway space, large mechanical equipment lacks construction space, and the installation of the support often requires multiple people to pry, push and pull to adjust before the installation can be completed. The number of personnel input is large, the labor intensity is high, and the efficiency is low. Taking the concrete-filled steel tube support as an example: a working platform needs to be built before installing the support, and the working platform needs to be removed after installation. Each section of the support installation relies on anchor chains and hoist chains to assist in lifting, and manual positioning is carried out. Only 2 concrete-filled steel tube supports can be installed per shift. Summary of the Invention
