Slides corresponding to the guide rods are fixedly arranged on both sides of the air duct clamp at the end of the air duct. The guide rod is slidably arranged inside the slide.

[0011] Furthermore, the bracket and the column form an angle of 45 to 90 degrees.

[0012] Furthermore, the column corresponds to the steel arch frame inside the tunnel, and a tie rod is fixedly connected between one side of the column and the corresponding steel arch frame.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) In this utility model, the column and the bracket provide support for both ends of the bracket, the bracket provides support for the air duct, and the space below the bracket is reserved for the working equipment to avoid the working equipment from colliding with or crushing the air duct.

[0015] (2) The protective plate on the top of the bracket can, on the one hand, form a barrier for the air duct and reduce the damage to the air duct caused by shock waves and flying stones, and on the other hand, it can prevent the working equipment from rubbing against the air duct.

[0021] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the duct support and protection device includes a bracket 3. The tops of both ends of the bracket 3 abut against the top of the tunnel. Columns 2 are evenly arranged at the bottom of one end of the bracket 3, and the bottom ends of the columns 2 are fixedly installed at the top of the tunnel invert. A support rod 5 is provided at the bottom of the other end of the bracket 3, and one end of the support rod 5 is fixedly connected to the steel arch frame inside the tunnel. A protective plate 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the bracket 3, and the duct 1 is installed on the top of the protective plate 4. In this embodiment, the columns 2 and the support rod 5 provide support for both ends of the bracket 3, and the bracket 3 provides support for the duct 1. The space below the bracket 3 is reserved for operating equipment to prevent the operating equipment from colliding with or crushing the duct 1. The protective plate 4 on the top of the bracket 3 can, on the one hand, form a barrier for the duct 1 to reduce damage to the duct from shock waves and flying stones, and on the other hand, prevent the operating equipment from scraping against the duct 1.

[0022] In some embodiments, in order to improve the stability of the duct 1, the duct 1 is fixed to the top of the protective plate 4 by a duct clamp 7. The duct clamp 7 has a U-shaped structure, and both ends of the duct clamp 7 are fixedly connected to the protective plate 4. The duct 1 is fixedly connected to the protective plate 4 by the duct clamp 7, which improves the stability of the connection between the duct 1 and the protective plate 4, reduces the shaking of the duct 1 during use, and thus reduces the wear of the duct 1 caused by shaking. Specifically, both ends of the duct clamp 7 are fixed to the top of the protective plate 4 by welding or bolt assembly.

[0023] In some embodiments, a padding layer 71 is fixedly provided on the inner side of the duct clamp 7. The padding layer 71 can play a role in shock absorption and reducing wear. The padding layer 71 is a U-shaped structure made of rubber or polyurethane.

[0024] In some embodiments, a telescopic air supply assembly 8 is provided at the end of the duct 1. The telescopic air supply assembly 8 has a telescopic corrugated pipe 81 fixedly connected to the end of the duct 1. An electric actuator 85 for driving the telescopic corrugated pipe 81 to extend and retract is fixedly provided at the top of the duct clamp 7 at the end of the duct 1. When the electric actuator 85 drives the telescopic corrugated pipe 81 to extend, the end of the telescopic corrugated pipe 81 extends outward from the top of the protective plate 4, discharging the airflow inside the duct 1 to the outer working face. Before the blast, the electric actuator 85 drives the telescopic corrugated pipe 81 to retract to the top of the protective plate 4. By utilizing the blocking effect of the protective plate 4, the damage to the duct from shock waves and flying stones can be reduced.

[0025] In some embodiments, supports 83 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the telescopic corrugated pipe 81 away from the end of the air duct 1. A guide rod 82 is fixedly arranged on the side of the support 83 near the air duct 1. Slide seats 84 corresponding to the guide rod 82 are fixedly arranged on both sides of the air duct clamp 7 at the end of the air duct 1. The guide rod 82 is slidably arranged inside the slide seat 84. The end of the telescopic corrugated pipe 81 is slidably connected to the slide seat 84 through the guide rod 82, which improves the stability of the telescopic corrugated pipe 81 when it is driven by the electric push rod 85.

[0026] In some embodiments, the bracket 3 and the column 2 form an angle of 45 to 90°; preferably, the bracket 3 and the column 2 form an angle of 60°. The inclined bracket 3 can increase the maximum distance between the bracket 3 and the tunnel arch, which is beneficial for the entry of the working equipment.

[0027] In some embodiments, the column 2 corresponds to the steel arch frame inside the tunnel, and a tie rod 6 is fixedly connected between one side of the column 2 and the corresponding steel arch frame; the bottom end of the column 2 is fixed to the top of the invert arch by expansion bolts or welding, and the two ends of the tie rod 6 are welded and fixed between the column 2 and the steel arch frame, respectively, thereby improving the stability of the column 2.
