Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunneling protection equipment technology, specifically to a tunneling protection device used in coal mining. Background Technology

[0002] In coal mining, tunneling shield equipment is a key piece of equipment for ensuring operational safety and efficiency. It needs to provide reliable roof support and equipment protection in the complex and ever-changing underground environment, preventing accidents such as roof collapses, ensuring the safety of workers and equipment, and creating a stable working space for the continuous progress of coal mining.

[0003] Currently, the tunneling shield equipment used in coal mines mostly adopts traditional rigid support structures and fixed protective plate designs. The rigid support structure usually consists of fixed columns and roof beams, which are fixed in the roadway by mechanical connection, using the vertical support force of the columns to bear the pressure of the roof; the fixed protective plate is installed on the equipment by welding or bolting to protect the working area.

[0004] However, existing tunneling shield equipment has significant drawbacks in practical applications. Traditional rigid support structures are difficult to adapt to complex and changing geological conditions. When encountering roof undulations or inclinations, they cannot flexibly adjust the support angle and position, resulting in a limited contact area with the ground and insufficient support stability. This can lead to uneven local stress or even overall instability, greatly threatening the safety and reliability of coal mining operations. At the same time, the disassembly and maintenance of fixed protective plates require a large number of tools for cumbersome welding, cutting, or bolt removal and assembly operations. The process is complex and time-consuming, seriously affecting equipment maintenance efficiency and increasing maintenance costs and downtime. Utility Model Content

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The bottom of the fixed plate is provided with symmetrical hydraulic devices, the bottom of which is rotatably connected to the inside of the vehicle body, and the output end of which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixed frame.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] Multiple buffer pads are fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate. The buffer pads are distributed in a rectangular array. The outer walls on both sides of the fixed plate are provided with symmetrical locking holes. A protective plate is slidably connected to the top of the fixed plate.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The protective plate has symmetrical locking posts on both sides inside, and the locking posts are located at the same positions as the locking holes. Each locking post has a handle fixedly connected to one end, and the handle is located on the outer wall of the protective plate.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] Each locking post has a limit block fixedly connected to its outer wall, and the outer walls of the limit blocks are slidably connected inside the shield plate.

[0022] Each locking post is fitted with a limiting spring on its outer wall. One end of each limiting spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting block, and the other end of each limiting spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the shield plate.

[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1.

This achieves the effect of quick disassembly and assembly, solves the problem of inconvenient disassembly and maintenance of the protective plate, and improves the efficiency and practicality of equipment maintenance.

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 This invention provides a technical solution: Multiple buffer pads 17 are bolted to the top of the fixed plate 8. The buffer pads 17 are arranged in a rectangular array and are made of high-elasticity polyurethane rubber material, possessing excellent shock absorption and buffering performance. They are used to absorb the impact of falling rocks from the top of the coal mine, reducing direct impact on the fixed plate 8 and extending its service life. Symmetrical locking holes 18 are provided on both outer walls of the fixed plate 8. These locking holes 18 are machined using drilling and reaming processes and are used to cooperate with locking posts 20 to fix and disassemble the shield plate 9. The shield plate 9 is slidably connected to the top of the fixed plate 8. The shield plate 9 is welded from high-strength low-alloy wear-resistant steel and has an anti-corrosion surface treatment. It is used to directly shield the top of the coal mine, resisting falling rocks, coal chunks, etc. Symmetrical locking post 20 installation chambers are milled on both sides of the shield plate 9, each containing a symmetrical locking post 20 made of stainless steel. The locking pin 20 is positioned identically to the locking hole 18, and is used to lock the shield plate 9 by inserting it into the locking hole 18. A pull handle 19 is fixedly connected to one end of each locking pin 20. The pull handle 19 is made of stainless steel with anti-slip texture and is located on the outer wall of the shield plate 9 for easy worker operation. Limit blocks 21 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of each locking pin 20. The outer walls of the limit blocks 21 are slidably connected to the inside of the shield plate 9, and their outer walls are connected to the guide rails inside the shield plate 9. The groove forms a sliding fit to limit the displacement range of the locking post 20 and prevent it from coming out of the shield plate 9. The outer wall of the locking post 20 is fitted with a limiting spring 22. The limiting spring 22 is made of spring steel. One end of the limiting spring 22 is fixedly connected to the spring seat preset on the side wall of the limiting block 21, and the other end of the limiting spring 22 is fixedly connected to the spring mounting hole inside the shield plate 9. It is used to provide a reset spring force for the locking post 20 and realize the automatic locking and quick disassembly of the shield plate 9.

[0037] Working principle: When using the tunneling shield equipment adopted in coal mining, firstly, after the worker moves the device to the corresponding position, the hydraulic device 6 pushes the fixed plate 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the shield plate 9 to rotate to a horizontal state, supporting the top of the coal mine to achieve the shielding effect. Then, the output end of the electric actuator 12 pushes outward, causing the movable frame 14 to move outward. Then, under the constraint of the first support 10 and the second support 13, the movable frame 14 also moves downward as a whole. The displacement of the movable frame 14 then drives the rotating seat 15 and the support plate 16 to move synchronously, finally making the support plate 16 contact the ground, thereby increasing the ground contact area of ​​the equipment and improving its stability.

[0038] When the protective plate 9 needs to be disassembled, repaired, and cleaned, the worker first locates the pull handles 19 at the four corners of the protective plate 9 and pulls the pull handles 19 outward. The displacement of the pull handles 19 causes the limit spring 22 to be compressed, which also causes the limit block 21 and the locking pin 20 to move outward. When the locking pin 20 is disengaged from the locking hole 18 inside the fixing plate 8, the worker can remove the protective plate 9. During installation, the locking pin 20 is aligned with the locking hole 18, the pull handle 19 is released, and the limit spring 22 pushes the limit block 21 back to its original position, thereby allowing the locking pin 20 to be inserted into the locking hole 18, completing the fixation of the protective plate 9, thus achieving the effect of quick disassembly and assembly of the protective plate 9.
