[0033] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides a connection structure for a top coal caving transition hydraulic support, used to connect the tail column 1 with the base 2 and the swing beam 3. Specifically, the connection structure of the top coal caving transition hydraulic support in this embodiment includes a tail column 1 and swing beams 3 and base 2 respectively rotatably connected to both ends of the tail column 1, as detailed below.

[0036] In this embodiment, the tail column 1 has a first spherical end 11 and a second spherical end 12 at its two ends. The base 2 has a first spherical socket 21, and the swing beam 3 has a second spherical socket 31. Vertical plates 4 are provided on both sides of the first spherical socket 21 and the second spherical socket 31. The first spherical end 11 is located between the two vertical plates 4 of the first spherical socket 21 and abuts against the first spherical socket 21. A first pin passes through the first spherical end 11 and the two vertical plates 4 of the first spherical socket 21. The second spherical end 12 is located between the two vertical plates 4 of the second spherical socket 31 and abuts against the second spherical socket 31. A second pin passes through the second spherical end 12 and the two vertical plates 4 of the second spherical socket 31. Several guide grooves 22 are provided on the inner walls of the first spherical socket 21 and the second spherical socket 31, and several solid lubricating blocks 23 are embedded in the guide grooves 22.

[0037] Specifically, the tail column 1 is a multi-section hydraulic cylinder that supports the lifting and lowering of the swing beam 3. The tail column 1 is rotatably connected to the top of the base 2 and the bottom of the swing beam 3 via pins. The first ball socket 21 is the part on the base 2 that abuts against the tail column 1 and has a spherical inner wall. The second ball socket 31 is the part on the swing beam 3 that abuts against the tail column 1 and has a spherical inner wall. The first spherical end 11 and the second spherical end 12 of the tail column 1 also have a spherical shape. Therefore, when the tail column 1 rotates, the first spherical end 11 and the second spherical end 12 have a larger contact area with the first ball socket 21 and the second ball socket 31, which disperses the pressure and tension on the first spherical end 11 and the second spherical end 12. This increases the durability of the connection structure between the tail column 1 and the swing beam 3 and the base 2. Several guide grooves 22 are evenly distributed along the inner walls of the first ball socket 21 and the second ball socket 31. When the tail column 1 is working, the first spherical end 11 and the second spherical end 12 respectively abut against the first ball socket 21 and the second ball socket 31. The solid lubricating block 23 effectively reduces the friction between the first spherical end 11 and the second spherical end 12 and the first ball socket 21 and the second ball socket 31.

[0038] In summary, compared with the prior art, by connecting the first spherical end 11 and the second spherical end 12 with the first ball socket 21 and the second ball socket 31, the contact area between the tail column 1 and the swing beam 3 and the base 2 is increased. Therefore, the contact stress between the tail column 1 and the swing beam 3 and the base 2 is reduced. Moreover, the cooperation between the guide groove 22 and the solid lubricating block 23 reduces the friction between the first spherical end 11 and the second spherical end 12 and the first ball socket 21 and the second ball socket 31. Therefore, the durability of the connection structure between the tail column 1 and the swing beam 3 and the base 2 is enhanced.

[0039] Furthermore, the cross-section of the guide channel 22 is trapezoidal, and the height of the solid lubricating block 23 is greater than the height of the trapezoid. The cross-section of the guide channel 22 is trapezoidal, specifically a trapezoid that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. The solid lubricating block 23 has the same shape, and its height is greater than the trapezoid. Therefore, the first spherical end 11 and the second spherical end 12 abut against the solid lubricating block 23, and the solid lubricating block 23 bears the main friction force. Therefore, the wear on the first spherical end 11, the second spherical end 12, and the solid lubricating block 23 is relatively small.

[0040] Furthermore, several sets of disc spring assemblies 5 are fixedly provided at the bottom of the first ball socket 21. Each disc spring assembly 5 includes several butterfly springs, and the first spherical end 11 abuts against the disc spring assembly 5. Since the first ball socket 21 is the bottom abutting part of the tail post 1, fixing the disc spring assembly 5 at the bottom of the first ball socket 21 by welding, bonding, or snapping can significantly reduce the force directly received by the first ball socket 21. The disc spring assembly 5 can convert the received force into deformation storage, reducing the force directly received by the first ball socket 21. And since the disc spring assembly 5 is formed by stacking disc springs, it can withstand greater pressure.

[0041] Furthermore, the inner walls of the first socket 21 and the second socket 31 are clad with a Co-based alloy layer, the thickness of which is 1-2 mm. The Co-based alloy layer has properties such as high temperature resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. The cladding process involves melting the relevant material with a laser and covering it onto the surface of the target object to form a protective layer of the relevant material. Therefore, the first socket 21 and the second socket 31 have better durability.

[0042] Furthermore, the upright plate 4 has a connecting hole 41. The first pin and the second pin are respectively interference-fitted with the connecting hole 41. The through-hole size on the first ball socket 21 and the second ball socket 31 is larger than the size of the first pin and the second pin. By heating the upright plate 4, the connecting hole 41 is enlarged, while the first pin and the second pin remain unchanged. Thus, when the first pin and the second pin are inserted into the connecting hole 41, and the upright plate 4 cools down, the first pin and the second pin form an interference fit with the connecting hole 41. Therefore, the first pin, the second pin and the connecting hole 41 are relatively immovable. However, the through-hole size on the first ball socket 21 and the second ball socket 31 is larger than the size of the first pin and the second pin. Therefore, the first ball socket 21 and the second ball socket 31 can rotate along the first pin and the second pin.

[0043] Furthermore, a rubber sealing ring 7 is provided at the edge of the first ball socket 21. The outer circle of the rubber sealing ring 7 is fixedly connected to the edge of the first ball socket 21, and the inner circle of the rubber sealing ring 7 abuts against the first spherical end 11. In the coal mining site, there is a large amount of smoke and dust and broken coal. Therefore, the shape of the first ball socket 21 makes it easy for impurities to enter, which increases the friction between the first ball socket 21 and the first spherical end 11 and causes greater wear to the first ball socket 21 and the first spherical end 11. The outer circle of the rubber sealing ring 7 is fixedly connected to the edge of the first ball socket 21 by means of bonding, snapping, or screwing. When impurities fall onto the rubber sealing ring 7, the rotation of the tail column 1 can lift and drop the impurities.

[0044] Furthermore, the rubber sealing ring 7 is filled with high-temperature grease. In order to further reduce the friction between the first ball socket 21 and the first spherical end 11, the rubber sealing ring 7 is filled with high-temperature grease. Moreover, even if dust or other impurities drift into the space between the first ball socket 21 and the first spherical end 11, the high-temperature grease can wrap the dust and other impurities, without affecting the friction between the first ball socket 21 and the first spherical end 11.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] Reference Figure 5 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the first pin and the second pin adopt a split structure and have an anti-loosening structure, as detailed below.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first and second pins adopt a split structure, including a main pin and a detachable pin head. The pin head is connected to the main pin via threads. The split structure of the first and second pins allows them to be divided into different parts. The main pin and the detachable pin head are connected by threads, and the pin head and the main pin respectively abut against the upright plates 4 on both sides, which can fix the pin head and the main pin more tightly and limit the axial displacement of the first and second pins.

[0048] Furthermore, an anti-loosening groove 6 is provided at the end of the main pin shaft away from the pin head. An anti-loosening element 42 is provided on the vertical plate 4 corresponding to the anti-loosening groove 6. The two free ends of the anti-loosening element 42 can be engaged in the anti-loosening groove 6, restricting the circumferential rotation of the first and second pin shafts. The anti-loosening groove 6 is a straight groove symmetrically arranged along the end of the main pin shaft. The anti-loosening element 42 has a semi-circular main body and two straight free ends. The middle position of the semi-circular main body is rotatably fixed on the vertical plate 4 in a direction perpendicular to the vertical plate 4. When the anti-loosening element 42 is engaged in the anti-loosening groove 6, the first and second pin shafts are restricted from rotating, thus forming an integral part with the vertical plate 4.
