Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of underground transportation equipment, and specifically discloses a coal mine underground unit-type support transport robot. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, underground coal mining technology and equipment have made great strides, significantly improving mining efficiency. However, the imbalance between tunneling and mining remains a major factor restricting safe and efficient mining. To reduce the number of roadway excavations and alleviate the imbalance, flexible concrete technology can be used for roadway retention in fully mechanized mining faces. This technology is currently widely used in many modern mines. At present, flexible concrete roadway retention technology typically uses a "one beam, four columns" support structure, which suffers from a single support method, low strength of the surrounding rock support, and poor safety. Unitized supports offer advantages such as high support strength and good stability, effectively protecting flexible walls. However, currently, unitized supports are typically transported using winch traction, which is complex, inefficient, and poses safety hazards. Therefore, the problem of unitized support transportation has become a key factor limiting its widespread adoption in roadway retention technology. Summary of the Invention

[0060] Example 2

[0061] This embodiment provides a method for preserving roadways along a goaf using a unit-type support transport robot 100 in a coal mine, which includes the following steps:

[0062] S1, a flexible mold wall 400 is poured in the tunnel 300. The flexible mold wall 400 has the characteristic of rapid tunnel formation.

[0063] S2, the unit-type supports 200 are arranged forward sequentially according to the solidification time of the flexible mold wall 400, and provide support before the flexible mold wall 400 solidifies. The unit-type supports 200 are equipped with quick-connect valves 201 for connecting with the emulsion system and shovel holes 202 for the support shovels 101.4 to pass through. The unit-type supports 200 can be arranged on one side of the roadway 300 (i.e., close to the flexible mold wall 400) or on both sides of the roadway 300 (i.e., one side close to the flexible mold wall 400 and the other side in front of the coal wall 500). The step distance between adjacent unit-type supports 200 is two meters, and they are arranged 100-120 meters ahead of the solidification time of the flexible mold wall 400.

[0064] S3, the above-mentioned coal mine underground unit support transport robot 100 is arranged in the middle of the roadway 300, and the unit supports 200 are transported from back to front according to the solidification speed of the flexible mold wall 400 along the direction of casting of the flexible mold wall 400.

[0065] Step S3 includes the following steps:

[0066] T1, the coal mine underground unit support transport robot 100 travels to the unit support 200 that needs to be transported, the outrigger cylinder 101.30 extends, so that the telescopic outrigger 101.29 opens until the telescopic outrigger 101.29 contacts the ground to ensure the stability of the coal mine underground unit support transport robot 100 during the transport process, connect the emulsion system to the quick-connect valve 201 on the unit support 200, operate the emulsion system to retract the unit support 200, complete the preliminary transport preparation of the unit support 200, and separate the emulsion system from the unit support 200;

[0067] T2, the support shovel 101.4 is flipped to the side where the unit support 200 is located, the vertical lifting frame 101.2 slides up and down until the height of the two support shovels 101.4 is aligned with the height of the shovel hole 202, the horizontal moving platform 101.3 moves closer to the side where the unit support 200 is located, inserts the two support shovels 101.4 into the shovel hole 202, and then the vertical lifting frame 101.2 is lifted upward, causing the unit support 200 to move upward and leave the ground. The horizontal moving platform 101.3 moves in the opposite direction, moving the unit support 200 to the middle position of the conveying mechanism 101;

[0068] T3, the outrigger cylinder 101.30 retracts, causing the telescopic outrigger 101.29 to retract to its original state. The support transport robot 100 moves forward until it transports the unit support 200 to the designated position in front. The lateral platform 101.3 moves closer to the side where the flexible mold wall 400 is located. Then the vertical lifting frame 101.2 moves downward to place the unit support 200 on the ground. The lateral platform 101.3 moves in the opposite direction to pull the two support shovels 101.4 out of the shovel hole 202.

[0069] T4 connects the emulsion system to the quick-connect valve 201 on the unit support 200 to replenish the liquid. The unit support 200 is raised to contact the tunnel roof beam, separating the emulsion system from the unit support 200, thus completing one unit support 200 handling operation.

[0070] T5, repeat steps T1-T4.

[0071] Operators can switch between remote and manual operation via the pilot control handle I105.4a to remotely control the aforementioned support handling actions.
