Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, and in particular to a post-constraint fixture and testing device for horizontal loading tests of hydraulic supports. Background Technology
[0002] Hydraulic supports, as crucial support equipment in coal seam mining, are primarily used to support the working face. Before formal application, they must undergo rigorous type testing procedures. These procedures aim to comprehensively verify the support structure design, component selection, and operational reliability, and have become an internationally accepted technical regulatory measure. Hydraulic supports mainly consist of support columns, top beams, tail beams, shield beams, front beams, and bases.
[0003] Hydraulic supports, as key mining equipment, are subjected to both vertical roof pressure and horizontal loads from the coal face or goaf when operating underground. These horizontal loads are primarily generated by friction between the roof and the supports, as well as the interaction between the supports themselves. Horizontal loading tests, by simulating this horizontal force, can verify the structural strength and stability of the supports under complex multi-directional loads, ensuring their reliability in actual working conditions. The hydraulic support-surrounding rock environment is complex, with roof unevenness caused by factors such as fracturing, cave-ins, and coal cutting. This results in a non-ideal, tight planar contact between the hydraulic support's top beam and the roof. Directly simulating the contact state between the hydraulic support and the surrounding rock in the laboratory is difficult; therefore, padding blocks are typically placed between the support and the test bench to simulate actual working conditions.
[0004] The hydraulic support test bench structure mainly includes a test bench base fixed to the foundation by anchor bolts, a column fixedly connected to the base, a movable platform that can slide up and down the column, and a top beam fixedly connected to the top of the column.
[0005] When conducting horizontal loading tests on hydraulic supports, in order to prevent the hydraulic supports from shifting in the front-back and left-right directions, the hydraulic supports need to be fixed on the base of the hydraulic support test bench. The existing technology places a loading pad between the test bench and the hydraulic support and fixes the metal fixture to the test bench base with bolts. When the hydraulic support is horizontally loaded, it will generate an upward warping force on the fixture, which may cause the fixture to fall out of the fixed position, resulting in insufficient stability, test interruption and safety hazards.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a constraint fixture for hydraulic supports after horizontal loading to solve the technical problem of insufficient stability of hydraulic supports using bolt-fixed fixtures during horizontal loading tests. Utility Model Content

[0020] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a rear constraint fixture and testing device for horizontal loading tests of hydraulic supports.

[0029] 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," "front," and "rear" are used interchangeably with other directional terms. Figure 4 The orientation is used as a reference.
[0030] This utility model embodiment proposes a rear-constraint fixture and testing device for a horizontal loading test of a hydraulic support. The rear-constraint fixture includes a base plate 5, at least two limiting strips 6, and a top block 7. The at least two limiting strips 6 are spaced apart along the front-rear direction and are vertically fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base plate 5. The limiting strips 6 extend along the left-right direction and can be inserted into limiting grooves 11 on the base of the hydraulic support test bench, so that the rear-constraint fixture is positioned within the hydraulic support test bench. The top block 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 5. The upper surface of the base plate 5 supports the hydraulic support 10, and the front end of the top block 7 abuts against the rear end of the hydraulic support 10, so that the hydraulic support 10 is supported on the rear-constraint fixture and its rearward movement is limited. The testing device includes a test bench base 1 and the rear-constraint fixture. Multiple limiting grooves 11 are formed on the upper surface of the test bench base 1. At least two limiting strips 6 can optionally be inserted into a corresponding number of the multiple limiting grooves 11.
[0031] Multiple limiting grooves 11 are spaced apart on the upper surface of the test bench base 1, allowing at least two limiting strips 6 of the rear constraint fixture to be selectively inserted into a corresponding number of limiting grooves 11. During the horizontal loading test of the hydraulic support 10, the hydraulic support 10 presses against the base plate 5, and its own weight presses the limiting strips 6 and the limiting grooves 11 to form a wedge fit, converting the gravity of the hydraulic support 10 into a horizontal clamping force to form a self-locking effect, which restricts the movement of the rear constraint fixture in the front-to-back direction on the test bench base 1, ensuring the stability of the rear constraint fixture during the horizontal loading test. At the same time, the front end of the top block 7 abuts against the rear end of the hydraulic support 10, so that the hydraulic support 10 is supported on the rear constraint fixture and the rearward movement of the hydraulic support 10 is limited, ensuring the stability of the hydraulic support 10 during the horizontal loading test.
[0032] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can 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.
[0033] Example 1:
[0034] Reference Figures 1-2A post-constraint fixture for a horizontal loading test of a hydraulic support according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base plate 5, at least two limiting strips 6 and a top block 7.
[0035] The substrate 5 is specifically a rectangular steel plate with the same width as the test bench base 1. Specifically, the outer surface of the substrate 5 is electroplated to form a wear-resistant coating, which can resist the sliding friction and impact loads generated by the base of the hydraulic support 10 during the horizontal loading test. It should be noted that the wear-resistant coating is preferably a chromium plating, which has high hardness and can effectively improve the hardness of the outer surface of the substrate 5, preventing excessive pressure from the hydraulic support 10 on the substrate 5 and thus avoiding damage and deformation. Simultaneously, it effectively improves the wear resistance of the substrate 5 to resist the sliding friction from the base of the hydraulic support 10 on the substrate 5.
[0036] At least two limiting strips 6 are vertically fixed to the lower surface of the substrate 5 at intervals along the front-to-back direction. The limiting strips 6 extend in the left-to-right direction, with a length consistent with the trapezoidal limiting groove 11 of the test bench base 1. The cross-section of the limiting strip 6 is an inverted right trapezoid, that is, the end of the limiting strip 6 connected to the substrate 5 is larger, and the end away from the substrate 5 is smaller. During installation, the limiting strips 6 are aligned with the limiting groove 11 on the hydraulic support test bench base 1 so that the rear constraint fixture is positioned in the hydraulic support test bench. The fixture as a whole forms a stable support structure through the cooperation of the limiting strips 6 and the limiting groove 11 of the test bench base 1.
[0037] The top block 7 is a rectangular steel block, which is welded and fixed to the middle of the upper surface of the base plate 5. When the hydraulic support 10 is placed on the base plate 5, its rear end abuts against the front end of the top block 7 to ensure that the hydraulic support 10 does not move backward during the horizontal loading test.
[0038] Furthermore, the rear constraint fixture also includes a vertical plate 8 and at least two stiffening plates 9. The vertical plate 8 is specifically a rectangular steel plate, vertically welded and fixed to the upper surface of the base plate 5. The front surface of the vertical plate 8 is welded and fixed to the rear end surface of the top block 7, forming a front-to-back reinforcing structure. Specifically, the two stiffening plates 9 are right-angled trapezoidal steel plates. The right-angled sides of the stiffening plates 9 are welded and fixed to the rear surface of the vertical plate 8, and the lower base is welded and fixed to the upper surface of the base plate 5, forming a right-angled support. Alternatively, the stiffening plates 9 can also be right-angled triangular plates.
[0039] When the hydraulic support 10 abuts against the top block 7, the top block 7 can transfer the force to the vertical plate 8, avoiding local stress concentration in the top block 7, and better bearing and dispersing the force, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity and stability of the entire fixture. The stiffening plate 9 can resist the bending and shear stress generated by the vertical plate 8 under load, thereby enhancing the overall strength and load-bearing capacity of the vertical plate 8, improving the impact resistance of the top block 7, and making it suitable for loading tests of large-tonnage hydraulic supports 10.
[0040] It should be noted that the number of limit strips 6, upright plates 8, and stiffening plates 9 can be adjusted appropriately according to the magnitude of the load in the horizontal loading test.
[0041] In practice, firstly, the two limiting strips 6 are inserted into the corresponding limiting grooves 11. Then, the hydraulic support 10 is placed on the base plate 5, and the base of the hydraulic support 10 is placed against the front end face of the top block 7, ensuring that the base of the hydraulic support 10 is tightly fitted to the top block 7. The limiting strips 6 and the limiting grooves 11 cooperate to prevent the rear constraint fixture from shifting back and forth on the test bench base 1, ensuring a stable fixation. The design of the top block 7, the upright plate 8, and the stiffening plate 9 restricts the rearward movement of the base of the hydraulic support 10.
[0042] Example 2:
[0043] Reference Figures 3-4 Based on the aforementioned embodiments, this embodiment provides a test device for horizontal loading tests of hydraulic supports, which includes a hydraulic support test bench and a rear constraint fixture.
[0044] The hydraulic support test bench includes a test bench base 1. A plurality of limiting grooves 11 are spaced apart on the upper surface of the test bench base 1. The base plate 5 of the rear constraint fixture is placed on the upper surface of the test bench base 1, and at least two limiting strips are optionally inserted into a corresponding number of the multiple limiting grooves 11. For example, in Embodiment 1, where there are two limiting strips 6, the number of limiting grooves 11 is more than two. Depending on the size of the hydraulic support 10 to be placed, the two limiting strips 6 are selected to fit two appropriate limiting grooves 11 to accommodate hydraulic supports 10 of different sizes.
[0045] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the limiting groove 11 and the cross-sectional shape of the limiting strip 6 are both inverted right trapezoids.
[0046] Specifically, when the limiting strip 6 is inserted into the limiting groove 11, the two inclined surfaces generate radial extrusion friction due to the interference fit. Combined with the inverted trapezoidal wedge constraint, it forms a self-locking mechanism, effectively resisting the backward displacement of the hydraulic support 10 during the horizontal loading test.
