[0002] In modern underground operations such as coal mining, hydraulic supports play a crucial role as key equipment for ensuring safe and efficient production. The column cylinder of the hydraulic support is its core component for support and load-bearing, and it frequently withstands enormous pressure and complex mechanical movements.

[0003] Application document with application number CN201821488504.2 proposes a hydraulic support guide sleeve, which fully lubricates the body through an oil pipeline structure, and a connecting structure is provided on the outer wall of the body. When connected through the connecting structure, the connection is relatively stable and has a long service life.

[0004] However, the hydraulic support column cylinder guide sleeve device proposed in the aforementioned document has revealed numerous problems during long-term use. Although the amount of lubricating oil has been increased, the friction between the guide sleeve and the column cylinder remains significant, leading to severe wear. Frequent guide sleeve replacements not only increase maintenance costs and downtime but also affect the continuity and efficiency of mining operations. Furthermore, poor guiding accuracy makes the column cylinder prone to misalignment and jamming during movement, which not only reduces the stability and reliability of the hydraulic support but may also pose safety hazards. In addition, under high-intensity operation, if the large amount of heat generated by the guide sleeve device cannot be dissipated in time, it will lead to a decline in material properties, further exacerbating wear and increasing the probability of malfunctions. Utility Model Content

[0026] Example

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 This embodiment of the present invention provides a wear-resistant guide sleeve device for a hydraulic support column cylinder, comprising:

[0028] The housing assembly 100 includes a housing 101, a support member 102 disposed at the middle position of the side wall of the housing 101, and a side strip 103 disposed on the side wall of the support member 102, with the end of the side strip 103 fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing 101.

[0029] The guide assembly 200 includes an outer sleeve 201 inserted into the center of the housing 101, an inner sleeve 202 snapped into the inner wall of the outer sleeve 201, and a ball bearing 203 rotatably mounted on the side wall of the inner sleeve 202, the side wall of the ball bearing 203 making rolling contact with the inner wall of the outer sleeve 201.

[0030] The outer casing 101 serves as the external protective structure of the entire device, providing an installation base and support frame for other internal components. The side strip 103 is located on the side wall of the support member 102, with its end fixedly connected to the side wall of the outer casing 101, further reinforcing the connection between the support member 102 and the outer casing 101. It also facilitates positioning or guiding when used with other components. The outer sleeve 201 is inserted into the center of the outer casing 101 and is the main external structure of the guide assembly 200. The inner sleeve 202 is snapped into the inner side wall of the outer sleeve 201, forming a guide structure together. The inner sleeve 202 typically contacts the hydraulic support column cylinder that requires guidance, guiding its movement direction. Ball bearings 203 are rotatably mounted on the side wall of the inner sleeve 202, and their side walls roll against the inner side wall of the outer sleeve 201. This design converts sliding friction into rolling friction, making the movement of the inner sleeve 202 smoother on the inner wall of the outer sleeve 201, while also improving the wear resistance and service life of the guide sleeve device.

[0031] Specifically, the guide assembly 200 also includes a set screw 204 threaded to the side wall of the housing 101, with the end of the set screw 204 inserted into the side wall of the outer sleeve 201.

[0032] The set screw 204 is threaded onto the side wall of the housing 101, and its end is inserted into the side wall of the outer sleeve 201. By rotating the set screw 204, the position of the outer sleeve 201 within the housing 101 can be adjusted to achieve the fastening and positioning of the outer sleeve 201, ensuring the stability of the guide assembly 200 during operation.

[0033] Furthermore, the guide assembly 200 also includes a retaining ring 205 that is snapped into the inner side of the end of the outer sleeve 201 and snapped into the outer side of the inner sleeve 202.

[0034] The retaining ring 205 is engaged with the inner side of the end of the outer sleeve 201 and the outer side of the inner sleeve 202. It is mainly used to prevent the inner sleeve 202 from coming out of the end of the outer sleeve 201, and plays a role in limiting and fixing, so as to ensure the stability of the internal structure of the guide assembly 200.

[0035] Furthermore, the guide assembly 200 also includes a spring 206 adapted to be installed in the middle of the inner sleeve 201, with the end of the spring 206 in elastic contact with the side wall of the inner sleeve 202.

[0036] The spring 206 is fitted and installed inside the outer sleeve 201 at the middle position, with its end in elastic contact with the side wall of the inner sleeve 202. The spring 206 can provide a certain elastic force, enabling the inner sleeve 202 to maintain a certain buffering and self-adaptive ability when subjected to external forces, avoiding damage caused by rigid contact, and also helping the inner sleeve 202 to maintain good alignment during movement.

[0037] Preferably, the guide assembly 200 also includes a heat dissipation groove 207 disposed on the side wall of the outer sleeve 201, the heat dissipation groove 207 being connected to the through groove on the side wall of the outer casing 101.

[0038] The heat dissipation groove 207 is located on the side wall of the outer sleeve 201 and is connected to the through groove on the side wall of the outer shell 101. During the operation of the hydraulic support, the guide sleeve device will generate heat due to friction. The heat dissipation groove 207 can increase the heat dissipation area, allowing the heat to dissipate more quickly. By connecting with the through groove of the outer shell 101, a good heat dissipation channel is formed, which effectively reduces the working temperature of the guide sleeve device and improves its working performance and reliability.

[0039] It should be noted that the housing assembly 100 also includes a forming hole 104 disposed on the side wall of the housing 101, the forming hole 104 extending to the inner side of the connection between the side strip 103 and the support member 102.

[0040] The forming hole 104 is provided on the side wall of the housing 101 and extends to the inner side of the connection between the side strip 103 and the support member 102. It can install positioning components, reduce the overall weight, increase the flexibility of the structure, and reduce the possibility of deformation of the guide sleeve under stress.

[0041] Preferably, the outer wall of the connection between the edge strip 103 and the support member 102 is an arc-shaped structure, and the side wall of the edge strip 103 is provided with a bent edge that cooperates with the support member 102.

[0042] By adding a bent edge to the side wall of the side strip 103 and the support member 102, the connection between the side strip 103 and the support member 102 becomes tighter and more stable, which also improves the overall performance of the guide sleeve.

[0043] During use, when the hydraulic support column cylinder works, the column cylinder moves inside the inner sleeve 202. Due to the presence of the ball bearing 203, the inner sleeve 202 and the outer sleeve 201 move relative to each other through rolling friction, which greatly reduces the friction and makes the movement of the column cylinder smoother. The set screw 204 is connected to the outer shell 101 by a thread. Adjusting the set screw 204 can position and tighten the outer sleeve 201, ensuring the stability of the entire guide assembly 200 during operation. The retaining ring 205 prevents the inner sleeve 202 from coming off the end of the outer sleeve 201, ensuring the normal operation of the guide assembly 200. The spring 206 provides elastic force, allowing the inner sleeve 202 to adaptively adjust its position when subjected to external force, avoiding rigid collision damage. The heat generated during operation is dissipated through the heat dissipation groove 207 and the heat dissipation channel formed by the groove docking with the outer shell 101, ensuring that the guide sleeve device operates within a suitable temperature range.

[0044] In summary, the ball bearing 203 transforms sliding friction into rolling friction, reducing wear. Simultaneously, the precise guiding structure ensures the accuracy of the column cylinder's movement, improving the overall performance of the hydraulic support. The fastening effect of the set screw 204, the limiting effect of the retaining ring 205, and the buffering and self-adaptive effect of the spring 206 collectively ensure the stability of the internal structure of the guide assembly, reducing malfunctions caused by component loosening or displacement. The heat dissipation channel formed by the heat dissipation groove 207 and the through groove of the outer shell 101 effectively reduces the operating temperature of the guide sleeve device, extends the device's service life, and improves its reliability in high-temperature operating environments. The special connection structure between the edge strip 103 and the support member 102, such as the arc surface structure and bent edge design, reduces stress concentration, enhances the strength and durability of the shell assembly, and ensures long-term stable operation of the entire device under complex working conditions.
