Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of coal mining technology, specifically, it relates to a lightweight support device for steeply inclined thin coal seams. Background Technology

[0002] Steeply inclined thin coal seams, with dip angles greater than 45° and complex geological conditions, present numerous challenges to mining operations. Traditional timber supports have limited strength and struggle to provide sustained and stable support under complex geological conditions, easily leading to deformation and breakage, thus increasing the risk of roof collapse. While trapezoidal metal supports offer improved strength, their relatively fixed structural design makes them inflexible in steeply inclined thin coal seams, unable to adapt to frequent changes in seam thickness and dip angle. When seam conditions change, different support specifications often need to be replaced, wasting time and manpower and increasing mining costs. Rock bolt supports also have drawbacks in steeply inclined thin coal seams. Due to the looseness of the seam, the anchoring force of the bolts is difficult to effectively exert, failing to firmly connect the unstable coal and rock mass with the stable rock mass. Furthermore, in environments with large dip angles, the shear force on the bolts increases, easily leading to bolt failure or pull-out, significantly reducing the support effectiveness. Therefore, flexible support construction is more stable and reasonable.

[0003] Existing support structures are extremely inconvenient for workers to operate in narrow, inclined working spaces, resulting in low installation efficiency and severely impacting mining progress. Furthermore, most support structures have poor adjustability; once installed, they are difficult to adjust according to actual conditions such as coal seam changes and roadway deformation during mining, failing to meet dynamic support requirements.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] This utility model provides a lightweight support device for steeply inclined thin coal seams, including side support frames on both sides, wherein a lightweight support assembly is arranged between the side support frames. The lightweight support assembly includes a support base plate and support nets on both sides.

One end of the steel chain is connected to the support net, and the other end is fixedly connected to the drum of the electric winch through a ring buckle.

[0007] The technical advantages of the lightweight support device for steeply inclined thin coal seams provided by this utility model are as follows: By designing lightweight support components, it is better able to cope with unevenness and greater pressure compared with traditional plate support structures, reducing the risk of collapse; by using an electric winch in conjunction with a steel chain to adjust the tension of the support mesh, it changes the situation where traditional support structures are difficult to adjust flexibly according to inclined coal seams, further increases the contact area with the coal seam, can better adapt to the dynamic changes in coal seam thickness and pressure, and improves the stability of the support.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the lightweight support device for steeply inclined thin coal seams of this utility model can be further improved as follows:

[0016] Furthermore, the slider has a trapezoidal structure, which is adapted to the sliding track on the crossbeam.

[0017] Furthermore, an elastic buffer connector is provided at the connection between the support net and the steel chain. One end of the elastic buffer connector is connected to the steel ring of the support net, and the other end is connected to the steel chain.

[0018] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned improvement scheme are as follows: by setting up elastic buffer connectors, the energy is absorbed and buffered by utilizing the characteristics of rubber springs, avoiding the connection between the support net and the steel chain from bearing huge instantaneous impact forces, and extending its service life.

[0032] like Figure 1-4 The image shows an embodiment of a lightweight support device for a steeply inclined thin coal seam provided by this utility model. In this embodiment, it includes side support frames 10 on both sides, wherein a lightweight support assembly is provided between the side support frames 10. The lightweight support assembly includes a support base plate 11 and support nets 12 on both sides.

One end of the steel chain 13 is connected to the support net 12, and the other end is fixedly connected to the drum of the electric winch 14 through a ring buckle.

[0033] In use, the uprights 101 of the side support frame 10 are erected and placed firmly on the ground. The crossbeam 102 is bolted to the uprights 101 at a suitable height to construct a stable side support frame 10. Then, the steel chain 13 is passed around the pulleys in sequence, and the two sides of the support base plate 11 are connected to one side of a set of support nets 12 respectively. The other side of the support nets 12 is connected to the steel chain 13, and the end of the steel chain 13 is fixed to the drum of the electric winch 14. According to the width of the coal seam interval, the position of the lateral support arm 104 is adjusted by sliding the slider in the groove of the crossbeam 102. The electric telescopic device 16 is activated to extend the end with the support head 1041 to fit tightly against the side wall of the coal seam.

[0034] In the above technical solution, the side support frame 10 includes a column 101, a crossbeam 102 and a diagonal brace 103. The bottom of the column 101 is provided with a trapezoidal base plate. The crossbeam 102 is fixedly connected to the column 101 by bolts. One end of the diagonal brace 103 is connected to the column 101 and the other end is connected to the base plate.

[0035] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, multiple sets of sliding grooves are provided on the crossbeam 102, and pulleys 15 are rotatably arranged in the sliding grooves, with steel chains 13 passing around the pulleys 15.

[0036] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, sliding tracks are also provided on the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the chute, and the sliding tracks and the installation area of ​​the pulley 15 are set independently and in parallel.

[0037] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the side support frame 10 also includes a side support arm 104, which is slidably connected to the sliding rail via a slider, with an electric telescopic device 16 at one end and a rubber support head 1041 at the other end.

[0038] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the slider has a trapezoidal structure, which is adapted to the sliding track on the crossbeam 102.

[0039] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, an elastic buffer connector 17 is provided at the connection between the support net 12 and the steel chain 13. One end of the elastic buffer connector 17 is connected to the steel ring of the support net 12, and the other end is connected to the steel chain 13.

[0040] Among them, the elastic buffer connector 17 is a cylindrical rubber spring, one end of which is connected to the steel ring of the support net 12, and the other end is connected to the steel chain.

[0043] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the mounting holes on the column 101 are arranged in multiple rows at equal intervals to adjust the connection height with the crossbeam 102.

[0044] Specifically, the principle of this utility model is as follows: a stable structure is formed by the column 101, the crossbeam 102, and the diagonal brace 103, which disperses and bears the pressure from above and the sides; the electric winch 14 drives the drum to rotate, realizing the winding and unwinding of the steel chain 13, thereby flexibly adjusting the tension of the support net 12 to adapt to changes in the coal seam. The pulley 15 changes the direction of force on the steel chain 13, reducing friction and improving operating efficiency. With the lateral support arm 104 being slidable and retractable, based on the cooperation of the slider and the sliding track and the movement of the electric telescopic device 16, the position and auxiliary support length are flexibly adjusted according to the actual size of the roadway and coal seam. The support head 1041 increases friction by increasing the roughness of the contact surface, enhancing the support effect on the sidewall of the coal seam; the elastic buffer connector 17 utilizes the elastic potential energy of the rubber spring to protect the connection between the support net 12 and the steel chain 13 when the coal seam vibrates or the pressure changes suddenly.
