Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of advance support for underground coal mine tunnels, and particularly relates to a cyclic moving device for transporting a chute gantry-type advance support, and also relates to a cyclic moving method for transporting a chute gantry-type advance support. Background Art
[0002] Coal mine roadway roof management and fully mechanized mining face advancement complement and constrain each other. Face chute transfer machines are bulky and occupy significant space in the transport chute. Ensuring optimal support distance and strength in the transport chute has become a key research focus in the field of roadway advance support. Currently, advance supports in the advance section of the transport chute typically utilize single hydraulic struts coupled with articulated steel beams and self-propelled stepping supports. Some coal mines employ alternating mobile portal advance supports and unitized supports.
[0003] Single hydraulic props are relatively lightweight and do not require repeated support of the roof during transfer, thus ensuring the integrity of the roof. However, their support strength is relatively low, making them unsuitable for roadways with high roof pressure. Furthermore, the transfer process is cumbersome, labor-intensive, and inefficient, so they are gradually being phased out.
[0004] The self-moving step-by-step support is currently widely used. It has sufficient support strength and can be moved by workers operating the handle. However, the problem is that the movement must be completed by raising and lowering the columns of each set of supports. This will repeatedly load and release pressure on the roof, causing the roof to break and sink, affecting the integrity and stability of the roof. When the pressure is large, the support may become stuck, causing the advance support to be unable to operate normally, making tunnel maintenance more difficult. Therefore, the step-by-step advance support is often used in tunnels with better roof conditions.
[0005] The alternating movable gantry advance support and unit support both have sufficient support strength. When moving the support, the support is transported by a support transport vehicle or a monorail crane to avoid repeated support of the top plate. Although it reduces the labor intensity of workers and improves the efficiency of moving the support to a certain extent, the transportation process is complicated and time-consuming, and has high requirements for the tunnel space and bottom plate, and its applicability is limited.
[0006] Therefore, with the development of intelligent, unmanned and less-manned coal production, there is an urgent need for an advance support device with sufficient support strength and no repeated support of the roof, so as to improve the advance support efficiency of the transport chute and enhance the safety of tunnel support.
[0007] Prior art systems, such as those for coal mine working face transport chute systems, include a transport trolley and multiple portal supports. Each portal support includes a support top beam, a first telescopic rod, and a second telescopic rod. The portal support is moved forward by removing the last support and rotating it laterally to a predetermined angle. The transport trolley then transports it forward through the other portals to the front end, whereupon the first and second telescopic rods are extended, allowing the support to once again support the working face transport chute. This process continues in this manner, enabling the portal support to be cyclically supported without repeated movement.
[0008] Another example is the integrated advance support system for coal mine working face transportation, which realizes the transportation of advance supports in the upper space of the transfer machine by the transport trolley by setting groove rails and transfer trolleys on the cover plate above the transfer machine. The transport trolley has the functions of lifting and steering, which allows the support to rotate to a certain angle until it can pass under the front advance support, realizing a series of actions of "positioning-coupling-adjusting-transporting-lifting-returning".
[0009] While these technologies each have their own advantages, they lack modularity, have cumbersome operational procedures, and have limited trolley adjustment capabilities, making them difficult to fully adapt to the complex and changing underground environment. Future research and development should focus on improving the adaptability and automated movement of supports, streamlining operational procedures and reducing reliance on roadway conditions while ensuring support strength.
