Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of coal mine roadway support technology, and in particular relates to a retractable anchor cable system. Background Technology

[0002] In coal mine roadway support, especially in deep mines and roadways with complex geological conditions, anchor bolts alone cannot provide effective support. In these cases, anchor cables become an important support device besides anchor bolts. Anchor cables are mainly made of high-strength, low-relaxation steel strands, providing strong prestress and anchoring force, thus effectively controlling the deformation of the surrounding rock. In the support of longwall mining roadways, after the working face has passed, to prevent the triangular area behind the working face from hanging for an extended period and forming a large area suspended without collapsing, it is necessary to promptly unanchor the anchor cables in the longwall mining roadways to ensure timely roof collapse.

[0003] Existing anchor removal methods mostly involve hydraulic pulling or direct cutting of the anchor cable. These methods often involve heavy equipment that needs frequent relocation, which is inconvenient in the confined spaces of mining roadways. Furthermore, the lack of safety measures increases the risk of the anchor cable or locking tongue popping out and injuring people, posing a significant safety hazard. In some roadways, the exposed steel strands of the anchor cable are often bent or forked due to mining activities or transportation damage, making it difficult to secure using traditional pulling methods and resulting in poor applicability.

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0038] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0039] like Figure 1-13 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a retractable anchoring system, comprising a plunger 1, a base 2, an extended locking tongue 8, a locking device 10, a protective shell 12, and a tray 14, wherein:

[0040] The protective housing 12 is installed on the surrounding rock 13, and the plunger 1, base 2, extended locking tongue 8, lock 10 and tray 14 are all installed in the protective housing 12. A pull-out bolt 12a is also provided on the side of the protective housing 12 away from the surrounding rock 13, and the pull-out bolt 12a is installed in the bolt hole 12c on the protective housing 12. A fixing nut 12b for fixing the pull-out bolt 12a is also provided on the protective housing 12.

[0041] The plunger 1 is installed on the surrounding rock 13, and an anchor cable 13b is installed in the anchor cable hole 13a opened on the surrounding rock 13, and the anchor cable 13b passes through the plunger 1.

[0042] The plunger 1 is slidably mounted on the base 2 on the side away from the surrounding rock 13, and the base 2 can slide along the axial direction of the anchor cable 13b. An oil cavity 3 is provided between the base 2 and the plunger 1, and a first control component for controlling the amount of oil in the oil cavity 3 is also provided on the base 2. An inner rising limiting ring 4 for limiting the plunger 1 is provided inside the base 2, and an outer rising limiting ring 5 for limiting the plunger 1 is provided outside the base 2. The inner rising limiting ring 4 limits the stroke of the plunger 1 by cooperating with the outer rising limiting ring 5.

[0043] The tray 14 is mounted on the side of the base 2 away from the plunger 1, and the lock 10 is mounted on the tray 14;

[0044] The extended locking tongue 8 is located on the side of the lock 10 away from the tray 14. The end of the anchor cable 13b away from the anchor cable hole 13a is installed in the extended locking tongue 8. The end face of the extended locking tongue 8 away from the lock 10 is provided with a connecting hole 11 for installing the pull bolt 12a. A washer 9 is provided between the extended locking tongue 8 and the lock 10. An oil channel is provided on the side wall of the washer 9. A second control component for controlling the amount of oil in the washer 9 is provided in the oil channel. The end of the extended locking tongue 8 near the lock 10 is frustoconical, and the frustoconical end of the extended locking tongue 8 is inserted into the lock 10.

[0045] In this embodiment of the invention, the washer 9 is a retractable annular component. When prestress is applied, hydraulic oil is injected into the washer 9 through the oil channel, causing the washer 9 to elongate. At this time, the force applied by pulling the anchor cable when applying pre-tightening force is transmitted through the extended locking tongue 8-waist 9-locking device 10. The function of the washer 9 is to prevent the extended locking tongue 8 from deforming due to excessive force. After installation, the hydraulic oil inside the washer 9 is released using the second control component, and the washer 9 shortens, reserving space for the extended locking tongue 8 to continue to shrink inward under force later. During installation, the locking device 10 abuts against the base 2 through the tray 14, and the plunger 1 abuts against the surrounding rock 13. When pre-tightening force is applied, the extended locking tongue 8 is protected by the washer 9. After the pre-tightening force is applied, the washer 9 shortens, locking the extended locking tongue 8, the anchor cable 13b, and the locking device 10 together. At this time, the force on the anchor cable 13b is transmitted to the surface of the surrounding rock through the tray 14-base 2-hydraulic oil-plunger 1. When the anchor is released, hydraulic oil is discharged through the oil inlet 7, the plunger 1 contracts, and the locking device 10 moves with the anchor cable 13b toward the surrounding rock 13. At this time, the extended locking tongue 8 is connected to the pull bolt 12a on the protective shell 12 through the connecting hole 11 on the extended locking tongue 8, which restricts the movement of the extended locking tongue 8, thereby disengaging the extended locking tongue 8 from the locking device 10 and realizing automatic anchor release without external force.

[0046] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the preferred embodiment of this utility model, the oil cavity 3 is an annular cavity, and the inner and outer sides of the oil cavity 3 are sealed with sealing gaskets 6 to ensure the sealing performance of the oil cavity 3 and prevent oil leakage from the oil cavity 3 during the movement of the base 2.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first control component includes an oil inlet 7 opened on the base 2. A first top ball rod 7b and a first sealing ball 7c are installed in the oil inlet 7. The first sealing ball 7c is connected to the inside of the oil inlet 7 through a first limiting spring 7d. The oil inlet 7 is also provided with a locking platform for limiting the first sealing ball 7c. A first oil pipe 7a is also installed in the oil inlet 7, and the first top ball rod 7b is connected to one end of the first oil pipe 7a located inside the oil inlet 7.

[0048] In this embodiment of the invention, in its free state, the first sealing ball 7c rests against the mounting plate, which can isolate the oil inlet 7 and prevent the oil in the oil chamber 3 from overflowing. When oil needs to be injected into the oil chamber 3 or oil needs to be extracted from the oil chamber 3, the first sealing ball 7c can be lifted by the first ball rod 7b at the end of the first oil pipe 7a, so that the oil can be exchanged through the oil inlet 7.

[0049] like Figure 1As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second control component includes a second top ball rod 9b and a second sealing ball 9c in the oil delivery channel. The second sealing ball 9c is connected to the inside of the oil delivery channel through a second limiting spring 9d. The oil delivery channel is also provided with a locking platform for limiting the second sealing ball 9c. The oil delivery channel is also equipped with a second oil delivery pipe 9a, and the second top ball rod 9b is provided on one end of the second oil delivery pipe 9a located in the oil delivery channel.

[0050] In this embodiment of the invention, the protective housing 12 is further provided with an oil delivery pipe hole 12d that matches the first oil delivery pipe 7a. In the free state, the second sealing ball 9c rests against the locking plate, which can isolate the oil delivery channel and prevent the oil in the gasket 9 from overflowing. When oil needs to be injected into the gasket 9 or oil needs to be extracted from the gasket 9, the second sealing ball 9c can be lifted by the second ball rod 9b at the end of the second oil delivery pipe 9a, thereby allowing the oil to be exchanged through the oil delivery channel.

[0051] The specific use of the above-mentioned retractable anchor system includes the following steps:

[0058] Step 2, Anchor Removal:

[0059] Step 2.1: Install the protective casing 12 and hang it on the metal mesh using hooks to prevent it from falling.

[0060] Step 2.2: Use pull bolt 12a to connect the connecting hole 11 on the extended locking tongue 8, so that the extended locking tongue 8 is connected to the protective shell 12;

[0061] Step 2.3: Discharge the hydraulic oil inside the oil chamber 3 through the oil inlet 7 to cause the base 2 to retract;

[0062] Step 2.4: The extended bolt 8 automatically separates from the lock 10;

[0063] Step 2.5: Remove the protective shell 12, extended locking tongue 8, tray 12, base 2 and plunger 1 to complete the anchor removal.
