Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic support technology, and in particular to a fixing device for the lifting ring of a hydraulic support. Background Technology
[0002] Fully mechanized coal mining is an important indicator of technological advancement in coal mining and a crucial means for increasing coal production, improving labor efficiency, and enhancing economic benefits. The core of high-yield and high-efficiency fully mechanized mining technology lies in the fully mechanized mining equipment at the coal face. A fully mechanized mining face has three main supporting pieces of equipment: the coal mining machine, the scraper conveyor, and the hydraulic support, with the hydraulic support being one of the primary pieces of equipment in a fully mechanized mining face.
[0003] In my country, coal seams are classified into thin, medium-thick, and thick seams based on their thickness. Thin coal seams refer to those less than 1.3m thick when mined underground, medium-thick coal seams refer to those between 1.3m and 3.5m thick when mined underground, and thick coal seams refer to those more than 3.5m thick when mined underground.
[0004] Cutting depth is the depth to which the working mechanism of a coal mining machine cuts into the coal face. It is a major factor that determines the production capacity and installed power of the coal mining machine, and it is also an important parameter that is matched with support equipment and transportation equipment.
[0005] Thin coal seams typically have a depth of less than 1.3m. The lowest support depth of a hydraulic support in a thin coal seam is less than 1m, while the highest support depth is generally around 1.7m. Workers are typically around 1.7m tall. According to GB25974.1, the width of the walkway within the hydraulic support should be no less than 0.6m, and the height should be no less than 0.4m.
[0006] like Figure 1 As shown, during coal mining operations using hydraulic supports in thin and medium-thick coal seams, the lifting rings used for hoisting heavy objects are fixed to the lower beam surface of the hydraulic support's top beam via lifting ring seats, and the lifting rings are positioned directly above the walkway. Since workers inevitably pass under the lifting rings when walking through the walkway, and the hydraulic support vibrates during operation, causing the lifting rings to rotate violently, workers who are not paying attention above are prone to bumping their heads, threatening their personal safety and potentially leading to accidents.
[0007] In existing technology, the lifting ring of a hydraulic support is typically secured using a fixed pin and a cotter pin. The fixed pin has a hole at one end, and the cotter pin passes through this hole to prevent the lifting ring from rotating. However, due to vibration and impact during operation, the cotter pin can easily fall off, thus losing its limiting function. After the cotter pin is inserted into the hole of the fixed pin, the open portion needs to be pried open, and during disassembly, it needs to be closed again, making the operation inconvenient and prone to damaging the cotter pin.
[0008] Therefore, this utility model proposes a fixing device for the lifting ring of a hydraulic support to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0037] 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" and "lower" are used interchangeably with... Figure 1 The orientation is used as a reference.
[0038] 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.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, during operation, the hydraulic support used for mining thin coal seams is subject to dynamic loads such as vibration from the coal mining machine and support movement. The lifting ring 2 is prone to reciprocating rotation around the circular hole axis of the lifting ring seat 3. Both the lifting ring 2 and the lifting ring seat 3 are forged, with the lifting ring seat 3 made of 27SiMn material. The pedestrian walkway in the thin coal seam working face is located in a narrow area between the hydraulic support and the coal mining machine. Workers frequently need to pass through the walkway for equipment maintenance, material transportation, and other operations. When the lifting ring 2 rotates, its lower end covers the vertical space of the walkway. Due to the narrow space, workers' attention is mostly focused on the ground beneath their feet, making it easy to overlook the rotation of the lifting ring 2 above. Even if they notice the rotation, the narrow walkway restricts their movement, making it difficult to avoid the impact and increasing the risk of the lifting ring 2 hitting their heads, posing a safety hazard. This utility model is used to fix the lifting ring 2 on the top beam 1 of the hydraulic support, preventing its swaying from threatening the safety of workers.
[0040] Example:
[0041] Reference Figures 2-7This embodiment proposes a fixing device for the lifting ring of a hydraulic support. A lifting ring seat 3 is welded and fixed on the lower beam surface of the hydraulic support top beam 1. The lifting ring 2 is fitted into the circular hole of the lifting ring seat 3. The lifting ring 2 can rotate around the axis of the circular hole on the lifting ring seat 3. This fixing device is used to fix the lifting ring 2 on the hydraulic support top beam 1, preventing it from rotating downward due to vibration during the operation of the hydraulic support, thereby avoiding the lifting ring 2 from hitting the workers in the pedestrian passage below and ensuring construction safety.
[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fixing device includes a fixing pin 4 and a locking element 5. The fixing pin 4 is made of Q235 round steel, machined into a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 20mm and a length of 36mm. One end of the fixing pin 4 has a limiting groove 41 formed on its outer circumference. In other words, the limiting groove 41 is a continuous annular groove formed on the outer circumferential surface of the fixing pin 4 around its axis. The bottom of the limiting groove 41 has a mounting hole 42. The other end of the fixing pin 4 is fixed to the lower beam surface of the hydraulic support top beam 1 by welding, and the fixing pin 4 is perpendicular to the lower beam surface of the hydraulic support top beam 1. The axis of the mounting hole 42 is perpendicular to the center line of the lifting ring 2 and is located inside the ring of the lifting ring 2.
[0043] One end of the locking member 5 passes through the mounting hole 42, and the locking member 5 is simultaneously engaged in the limiting groove 41 of the fixing pin 4. The locking member 5 will not easily disengage from the mounting hole 42 and the limiting groove 41. By applying a certain external force, it can be disassembled from the mounting hole 42 and the limiting groove 41. This can prevent the locking member 5 from disengaging from the mounting hole 42 and the limiting groove 41 under the action of gravity and the vibration of the hydraulic support, thus preventing the locking member 5 from effectively blocking the downward rotation of the lifting ring 2.
[0044] The other end of the locking element 5 abuts against the lower ring surface of the lifting ring 2, preventing the lifting ring 2 from rotating downwards and avoiding reciprocating rotation around the axis of the circular hole in the lifting ring seat 3 under the normal operating vibration of the hydraulic support. This prevents the lifting ring 2 from colliding with the workers in the pedestrian walkway below, protecting their personal safety. The vertically fixed fixing pin 4 evenly transfers the load from the lifting ring 2 on the locking element 5 to the lower beam surface of the hydraulic support top beam 1, reducing local stress concentration and improving the load-bearing capacity and service life of the entire fixing device.
[0045] To ensure that the locking element 5 can effectively prevent the lifting ring 2 from rotating downward, the fixing pin 4 is located inside the ring of the lifting ring 2.
[0046] Meanwhile, when the lifting ring 2 needs to be used to lift heavy objects, the locking piece 5 must first be removed to release the lock on the lifting ring 2. It is also necessary to ensure that the lifting ring 2 can rotate freely around the axis of the circular hole in the lifting ring seat 3, preventing the fixing pin 4 from obstructing the rotation of the lifting ring 2 and ensuring its normal use when lifting heavy objects. On the one hand, if the distance between the axis of the fixing pin 4 and the circular hole in the lifting ring seat 3 is too large, it can easily interfere with the rotation of the lifting ring 2. Furthermore, the lifting ring seat 3 is welded to the lower beam surface of the hydraulic support top beam 1, and there are weld seams around it. To ensure the welding strength of the fixing pin 4, the fixing pin 4 needs to maintain a certain distance from the lifting ring seat 3 to avoid the weld seam area. Therefore, the distance between the axis of the fixing pin 4 and the circular hole in the lifting ring seat 3 is 70mm ± 1mm. On the other hand, the distance between the axis of the fixing pin 4 and the center line of the lifting ring 2 is 15mm±1mm. If the distance is too small, the contact arm between the locking part 5 and the lifting ring 2 will be shortened, and the blocking effect on the rotation of the lifting ring 2 will be weakened, and a good constraint effect cannot be achieved. If the distance is too large, when the lifting ring 2 rotates around the axis of the circular hole of the lifting ring seat 3, it is easy to interfere with the fixing pin 4, affecting the normal rotation of the lifting ring 2.
[0047] Furthermore, refer to Figure 5 The locking member 5 includes a positioning part 51 and a limiting part 52. The positioning part 51 and the limiting part 52 are integrally formed. One end of the positioning part 51 is connected to one end of the limiting part 52 to form the closed end of the locking member 5. The other end of the positioning part 51 and the other end of the limiting part 52 form the open end of the locking member 5.
[0048] Specifically, the positioning part 51 detachably passes through the mounting hole 42, and the limiting part 52 is engaged in the limiting groove 41. The limiting part 52 and the positioning part 51 can clamp the fixing pin 4, preventing the locking part 5 from disengaging from the mounting hole 42 and the limiting groove 41 under the vibration of the hydraulic support, and preventing the locking ring 2 from failing to block it. The closed end of the locking part 5 abuts against the lower ring surface of the lifting ring 2. The closed end is D-shaped, and its contact area with the lower ring surface of the lifting ring 2 is large, which can disperse the force of the lifting ring 2 on the closed end, avoid local stress concentration, and reduce the blocking effect.
[0049] The limiting part 52 and the positioning part 51 form an acute angle at the opening end of the locking member 5, with an angle range of 30°-60°. When the locking member 5 needs to be inserted into the mounting hole 42, the acute angled opening end can guide external force to act on the opening end of the locking member 5, causing the limiting part 52 and the positioning part 51 to elastically deform from the opening end and open wider, making it easier for the locking member 5 to be inserted into the mounting hole 42.
[0050] Specifically, the axial direction of the mounting hole 42 on the fixing pin 4 coincides with the radial direction of the fixing pin 4. The diameter of the mounting hole 42 is 3.5 mm. The fixing pin 4 is fixed to one side of the center line of the lifting ring 2.
[0051] In a specific embodiment, refer to Figure 5The locking element 5 is a type B pin, which includes a straight rod and a wavy bent rod with three bends. The bent rod forms a limiting part 52, and the straight rod forms a positioning part 51. The type B pin allows the straight rod and the bent rod to be relatively close together without external force. The straight rod of the type B pin is inserted into the mounting hole 42, and the bent rod is located in the limiting groove 41, causing the straight rod and the bent rod to be spread apart and thus both have elastic restoring force, allowing the bent rod and the straight rod to clamp and fix the pin 4. The positioning part 51 is a round rod with a diameter d0 = 3 mm. Two of the three bends of the bent rod are close to the straight rod (i.e., the troughs), forming an outwardly convex arc segment between the two troughs. The diameter of the circle containing this arc segment is 16 mm. One end of the bent rod is connected to the straight rod via an arc transition, forming a D-shaped closed end. The other end of the bent rod is bent away from the straight rod, forming an acute-angled open end. The diameter of the limiting groove 41 is 16mm. Specifically, the diameter of the limiting groove 41 refers to the diameter of the annular bottom wall about the axis of the fixing pin 4. When the limiting part 52 is engaged with the limiting groove 41, the limiting part 52 can fit tightly against the bottom of the limiting groove 41, and the limiting part 52 and the positioning part 51 clamp the fixing pin 4 to achieve a stable fixing effect.
[0052] Of course, this utility model is not limited to using a B-type pin as the locking element 5. It can also be an R-type pin, as long as the locking element 5 can prevent the lifting ring 2 from rotating and the locking element 5 is engaged in the limiting groove 41, the locking function of the locking element 5 on the lifting ring 2 can be realized.
