Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of hydraulic support, concretely relates to a transverse self-moving unit hydraulic support for coal mine roadway support. BACKGROUND

[0002] The hydraulic support is the key equipment of the comprehensive mechanized coal mining equipment, and its function is to effectively support and control the working face roof, to ensure the safe operation space of the workers and equipment, to have the important significance to the coal mine safety production, the working face output improvement, the improvement of the working face labor intensity and the improvement of the labor efficiency.

[0003] The hydraulic support is composed of a bearing structure, a hydraulic cylinder, a hydraulic control system and other auxiliary devices. The bearing structure of the traditional hydraulic support mainly includes a top beam, a shield beam, a base, front and rear connecting rods and other welded structural members. The top beam directly contacts with the roof, transmits the support force and plays a role of roof protection. The base directly contacts with the floor, transmits the support force and is used for supporting other components. The shield beam connects the top beam, the base and the connecting rod, and bears the horizontal force of the support and the pressure of the collapsed roof rock.

[0004] According to the use position of the hydraulic support, the hydraulic support can be divided into a working face hydraulic support and a roadway hydraulic support. The so-called roadway hydraulic support is used in the working face transportation roadway and the air return roadway, is responsible for supporting the roadway roof and floor, maintains the stability of the roadway roof, and controls the roof subsidence.

[0005] The traditional roadway support has the forms of wood support column, wood pile, steel beam, single support combined with hinged beam, etc. With the rapid development and progress of science and technology, the traditional advanced support method gradually does not match the requirements of modern mine construction. Among them, the single support, as a small supporting device, is still widely used in advanced support because of its small size, light weight, reliable support, convenient use and maintenance, low comprehensive cost. However, for the roadway with wide mining influence range, long distance and large pressure, the single support combined with hinged beam cannot completely meet the requirements of advanced support in terms of support strength, height, speed, automation degree, safety, reliability and the like.

[0006] The two-column alternate step self-moving hydraulic support and the front-rear integral sequential self-moving hydraulic support are two structural types of the currently mature and widely used roadway supporting hydraulic support in China. The two-column alternate step self-moving hydraulic support, as a modern supporting device, has the advantages of high supporting strength, simple operation and good safety. However, the hydraulic support needs to move forward as a whole, and each action needs one push step, and all the hydraulic supports must complete a complete action cycle such as lowering, moving and raising, which easily causes serious damage to the roadway roof and the anchor netting and cable supporting system, and causes roof leakage and roof fall accidents. In addition, due to the supporting principle and structure of the two-column alternate step self-moving hydraulic support, when the roadway supporting strength requirement is high, increasing the number and cylinder diameter of the columns will inevitably increase the size of the support structure and the initial support force, thereby causing a series of adverse effects such as higher frequency, larger repeated supporting force and larger moving resistance. Therefore, the two-column alternate step self-moving hydraulic support is no longer feasible in the roadway with wide mining influence range, serious roof and floor crushing and high pressure. The common roadway supporting hydraulic support in coal mines does not have a self-moving function, and needs to rely on single props or manual hoists, winches and other devices for assistance to realize the support leaning on the side or centering, which has large labor intensity, complicated operation, low work efficiency and great safety hazards. Therefore, how to automatically lean on the side and center the unit hydraulic support is particularly important for improving the work efficiency of the unit support moving and the safety coefficient of the support. Practical new type content

[0007] The coal mine roadway supporting horizontal self-moving unit hydraulic support can solve the problems of complicated support moving process and insufficient safety.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a transverse self-moving unit hydraulic support for coal mine roadway support, comprising a top beam, pins one, two, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten. The top beam has a spherical structure that mates with the spherical surface of a column. A pressure block is fixedly installed at the upper end of the column via pin one. The pressure block is fixedly installed to the top beam via pin two. The lower spherical surface of the other end of the column mates with the spherical structure of a base. A pressure plate is fixedly installed at the lower end of the column via pin nine, and the pressure plate is fixedly connected to the base. A side support plate is fixedly installed on the outer side of the base via pin ten. A side-support jack is fixedly installed on the side, and the output end of the side-support jack is fixedly connected to the column. A lifting sleeve is fixedly installed on the upper end of the base through pin seven. A lifting jack is fixedly installed on the lifting sleeve through pin four. A pad is fixedly installed on the output end of the lifting jack. A transverse jack is fixedly installed on the outer side of the base. A pressure block two is fixedly installed on the transverse jack through pin eight. The output end of the transverse jack is fixedly installed to the lifting sleeve through pin five. A transverse guide rod is fixedly installed on the output end of the transverse jack. The transverse guide rod is fixedly installed to the lifting sleeve through pin six. The transverse guide rod is fixedly connected to the base.

[0009] The principle of this utility model is as follows: The top beam is a box-shaped structure composed of four main ribs, transverse ribs, a top plate, and a web plate. The top plate is bent at the front and rear to prevent it from scraping the mesh. The top beam is connected to the column via a pressure block. Anti-tipping devices are pre-installed at the front and rear ends of the top beam. Lifting rings are also provided around the top beam for easy overall hoisting during cyclical movement. The top beam and column use a spherical fit and are connected via pin one, pressure block one, and pin two. Lifting rings are also provided around the top beam for easy overall hoisting during cyclical movement. The base is the bottom support component of the hydraulic support. The base has an arc structure around its perimeter to facilitate lateral and longitudinal movement of the support. The front and rear ends of the base are connected to the transverse jack, transverse guide rod, bottom-lifting sleeve, bottom-lifting jack, and pad plate via pin four, pin five, pin six, pin seven, pin eight, and pressure block two, respectively.

[0010] The support frame can be raised and moved laterally to the left and right by a combination of a lifting device and a lateral movement device. The side support plates are connected to the base via pin four, and can rotate 90°. The columns and top beams use a spherical fit, connected to the top beam via pin one, a pressure block, and pin two. Both the columns and bases use a spherical fit, connected to the base via a pressure plate and pin three, and fixed with clamps. An innovative design incorporates side support plates on both sides of the base, which can be rotated 90° to open the support base during use, increasing the ground contact area. During transport, the support base plates can be rotated 90° to retract, reducing the overall width and facilitating transport. A lifting device consisting of lifting sleeves and lifting jacks is installed around the base. Combined with a lateral movement device consisting of lateral movement jacks and lateral movement guide rods located at the front and rear of the base, the support frame can be raised and moved laterally to the left and right.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: it omits the four-link structure and shield beam structure of traditional hydraulic supports, simplifying the support structure to the greatest extent and shortening the size of the hydraulic support. The column, top beam, and base adopt a spherical fit, ensuring that the column, top beam, and base have a good stress state. The top beam and column have sufficient deflection angle, which can adapt to all roadway cross-sectional shapes such as rectangular, arched, and trapezoidal, conforming to the usage habits of mine operators and effectively withstanding mine pressure. The traditional step-by-step self-moving support type has been changed to a transport-type circulating support, avoiding repeated support of the roof, which is conducive to maintaining roof stability and preventing premature roof breakage. Compared with ordinary single hydraulic props, the initial support pressure is increased from 12MPa to 31.5MPa, the initial support force is increased from 90kN to 3090kN, and the roof support strength is as high as 4.17MPa, which can effectively control roof subsidence and has strong support capabilities.

[0012] This innovative design incorporates a lifting and lateral movement device, addressing the shortcomings of current hydraulic supports for coal mine roadways. These supports lack self-movement capabilities, requiring assistance from individual props or manual hoists and winches to achieve support alignment or centering. This process is labor-intensive, cumbersome, inefficient, and poses significant safety hazards. The new design enables automatic support alignment and centering, improving the efficiency of unit support relocation and enhancing the safety factor of the installation. Simultaneously, it significantly reduces the weight of the hydraulic support, placing it at only 20% to 30% of the weight of traditional two-row roadway hydraulic supports. This substantial reduction in support relocation workload improves the working environment for employees and plays a crucial role in ensuring safe and efficient production. It provides robust equipment support for coal mine safety, aligns with the development trend of roadway hydraulic supports, and demonstrates significant advancements.

[0013] Furthermore, the top beam is a box-shaped structure composed of four main reinforcing bars, transverse reinforcing bars, a top plate, and a web plate, with the top plate bent at the beginning and end. This design of the top beam prevents the frame from shifting and scraping the mesh.

[0014] Furthermore, the base is surrounded by arc-shaped structures. This arc-shaped base design facilitates the horizontal and vertical movement of the support frame.

[0015] Furthermore, the side support plate is hinged to the base, and a jack connecting lug is provided on the outer side of the base. By designing the hinge between the side support plate and the base, the side support plate can be rotated 90°. When retracted, the support width is 830mm, and when extended, the support width is 1380mm. This facilitates transportation and installation, and effectively enhances the support's anti-overturning ability and stability.

[0016] Furthermore, the base, top beam, and side support plates are all designed with transport holes and fixing holes. These holes facilitate safe loading and securing the components.

[0017] Furthermore, the number of columns is two, and the columns are telescopic. By designing telescopic columns, the support can move from low to high and support the top plate.

[0018] Furthermore, a clamp is fixedly fitted to the outer side of the column, and the clamp is fixedly connected to the base. By designing the clamp, the column and the base can be securely fixed. Attached Figure Description
