Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic support technology for fully mechanized coal mining faces, and in particular to a foot pedal for hydraulic supports in inclined and inclined mining faces. Background Technology
[0002] Based on the influence of geological structural changes on coal seams, it is known that the contour lines of the coal seam floor vary significantly, and the coal seam is subjected to compression and bending along its strike. To improve coal recovery, ventilation roadways and conveyor roadways cannot be arranged along the contour lines of the coal seam floor in the longwall mining face. Therefore, longwall mining can only be carried out in an upward or downward direction. This upward or downward mining mainly refers to coal seams with a strike dip angle of -15° to +15°. The unique characteristics of upward and downward mining bring many difficulties to safe, efficient, and mechanized mining, especially the safety of pedestrians at the working face. Currently, the main approach to addressing pedestrian safety in upward and downward mining is to install handrails on the hydraulic support columns and fix footboards to the base of the hydraulic support. However, these footboards are flat and, during upward or downward mining, the base tilts, causing the footboards to tilt as well, resulting in an angle between the footboards and the horizontal plane. This increases the risk of workers slipping and falling, leading to accidents. Utility Model Content

[0034] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, a detailed description of its specific embodiments is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this document, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," etc., are used interchangeably with other directional terms. Figure 1 The orientation is used as a reference.
[0035] While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention can be understood more clearly and thoroughly, and that the scope of the present invention can be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.
[0036] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a foot pedal for a hydraulic support in an elevation and depression mining face, which is installed on the base 2 of the hydraulic support for personnel passage. The foot pedal 1 includes a pedal 11, a support plate 12, multiple first connecting parts 13, and multiple second connecting parts 14. The support plate 12 is installed on the back of the pedal 11, abuts against the base 2 of the hydraulic support, and is supported between the pedal 11 and the base 2 of the hydraulic support to compensate for the gap between the pedal 11 and the base 2.
[0037] See Figure 1 Multiple first connectors 13 are disposed at one end of the pedal 11 and located on the back of the pedal 11. Each first connector 13 has a strip-shaped hole 132 and multiple first connecting holes 131 along a predetermined arc. The sidewalls of the multiple first connecting holes 131 are all in through-communication with the sidewalls of the strip-shaped hole 132. Multiple second connectors 14 are disposed on the base 2 of the hydraulic support. When the pedal 11 is installed, the multiple first connectors 13 and multiple second connectors 14 are connected one-to-one. Specifically, each second connector 14 has a second connecting hole 141. Multiple first connecting holes 131 on the same first connector 13 are connected to the corresponding second connecting holes 141 on the second connector 14 via a limiting shaft 15. In a preferred embodiment, the first connectors 13 are arranged in pairs, and a second connector 14 is disposed between a pair of first connectors 13.
[0038] See Figures 3 to 5In the first scenario, when the coal seam does not require pitching, the limiting shaft 15 connects the first connecting hole 131 in the middle of the first connecting member 13 to the second connecting hole 141 on the second connecting member 14, keeping the pedal 11 horizontal. In the second scenario, when the coal seam requires pitching, in the first scenario, the pedal 11 is moved laterally, separating the first connecting hole 131 from the limiting shaft 15. The limiting shaft 15 then resides within the strip-shaped hole 132. The end of the pedal 11 with the first connecting member 13 is rotated to adjust the pitch angle of the pedal 11. After the plate 11 is level, move the pedal 11 laterally again, and the limiting shaft 15 enters the corresponding first connecting hole 131; in the third case, when the coal seam needs to be mined downwards, in the state of the first case, move the pedal 11 laterally so that the first connecting hole 131 is separated from the limiting shaft 15, and the limiting shaft 15 is located in the strip hole 132. Rotate the end of the pedal 11 that is provided with the first connecting piece 13 to adjust the pitch angle of the pedal 11. After the pedal 11 is level, move the pedal 11 laterally again, and the limiting shaft 15 enters the corresponding first connecting hole 131.
[0039] This invention compensates for the pitch angle of the hydraulic support base 2 by adjusting the pitch angle of the pedal 11, ensuring that the pedal 11 remains horizontal. This effectively prevents slips and collisions caused by large pitch angles when personnel walk on the pedestrian walkway of the hydraulic support in the up-and-down mining face, ensuring safe and smooth passage. The first connecting member 13 is provided with a first connecting hole 131 for limiting and a strip hole 132 for avoiding the limiting shaft 15. Adjusting the pitch angle of the pedal 11 does not require removing the limiting shaft 15; it can be achieved simply by moving and rotating the pedal 11 laterally. Changing the pitch angle is simple and eliminates the need to transport any parts from the surface, thus reducing the labor intensity of workers and preventing the loss of parts.
[0040] Specifically, see Figure 2 and Figure 6 The first connector 13 includes a pair of oppositely arranged and parallel ear plates, which are arc-shaped. A second connector 14, also an ear plate, is welded to the corresponding position of the foot pedal 1 on the base 2. The ear plates of the second connector 14 are installed between the pair of ear plates of the first connector 13. Both the strip hole 132 and the first connecting hole 131 are formed on the ear plates. The strip hole 132 communicates with the side wall of the first connecting hole 131, and the opening width at the communication point is greater than the outer diameter of the limiting shaft 15. The limiting shaft 15 can move from the first connecting hole 131 into the strip hole 132.
[0041] Preferably, the limiting shaft 15 includes a threaded screw and a wing nut. The screw is fitted into the first connecting hole 131 and the second connecting hole 141, and the wing nut abuts against the first connecting member 13. After adjusting the pedal 11 to be horizontal and the limiting shaft 15 is located in the corresponding first connecting hole 131, tighten the wing nut to prevent the limiting shaft 15 from disengaging from the first connecting hole 131 and increase the stability of the pedal 11.
[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, the support plate 12 is perpendicularly connected to the pedal 11, and the support plate 12 is arranged along the length of the pedal 11, increasing the stability of the pedal 11. Furthermore, the support plate 12 and the base 2 are connected in an abutting manner, ensuring that the pedal 11 can move laterally during pitch adjustment. Of course, the support plate 12 can be adjusted according to the surface structure of the base 2, and clearance notches can be cut out.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment, there are two first connectors 13 and two second connectors 14, arranged along the length of the pedal 11. The line connecting the two connectors is parallel to the support plate 12, forming a stable support structure. Furthermore, the two first connectors 13 and two second connectors 14 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pedal 11, so that the symmetrical pedals 1 can be used normally when the working surface direction changes.
[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, the foot pedal for the hydraulic support of the elevation and depression mining face also includes multiple anti-slip components 3. These anti-slip components 3 are arrayed on the front of the pedal 11, which is used for worker walking. The anti-slip components 3 increase the friction when the worker walks. Furthermore, each anti-slip component 3 includes an anti-slip head 31 and a connecting post 32 connected to each other. A through hole is formed in the anti-slip component 3, penetrating the anti-slip head 31 and the connecting post 32, and a bolt is fitted inside the through hole. Multiple stepped holes are formed on the pedal 11, and the connecting post 32 is fitted into these stepped holes. The bolt is threaded into the stepped holes, facilitating easy assembly and disassembly. The anti-slip head 31 is made of a flexible material, such as rubber, which provides greater comfort when the worker's feet contact it, improving the worker's experience. The top surface is curved, and the multiple arrayed anti-slip heads 31 with curved protrusions effectively increase the friction of the pedal 11. Anti-slip textures are provided on the top surface of the anti-slip head 31, further increasing the friction of the pedal 11.
