The present invention provides an emergency stop device and method for a hydraulic support on a working surface, and the corresponding device includes: a
logic control circuit, which is used to detect the emergency
stop signal of the hydraulic support on the working surface and generate and send a pulse
signal corresponding to the emergency
stop signal; a drive circuit, which is connected to the
logic control circuit, and is used to enhance the driving ability of the pulse
signal to generate a first pulse
signal, and send the first pulse signal to the
bus between adjacent supports and a receiving circuit; a receiving circuit, which is connected to the drive circuit and the
bus, and is used to receive a second pulse signal sent by the drive circuit of an adjacent support through the
bus, or receive a first pulse signal, and send the first pulse signal to the
logic control circuit. The present invention can effectively solve the problem of low real-time and low reliability of the existing emergency stop mechanism, without adopting a data message
parsing method, and directly adopts a pulse method, which is simple, reliable and has high real-time performance.
