Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a hydraulic support with a quick response function for coal wall spalling, which includes a base, an upright post, a top beam, an extensible canopy, a face guard, and a vibration meter. The vibration meter is mounted on a hydraulic support, and detects a vibration signal of a coal wall in a non-contact mode. The face guard includes a primary face guard, a secondary face guard, and a tertiary face guard connected in sequence. One side, close to a coal wall, of the primary face guard is connected to a quick response device. The quick response device is in signal communication with the vibration meter. After receiving the vibration signal of the coal wall, the quick response device is abutted against the coal wall before the secondary face guard and the tertiary face guard fit the coal wall.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hydraulic support with a quick response function for coal wall spalling, comprising:
a base, an upright post, a top beam, an extensible canopy, a face guard, and a vibration meter, wherein the vibration meter is mounted on a hydraulic support, and detects a vibration signal of a coal wall in a non-contact mode;
the face guard comprises a primary face guard, a secondary face guard, and a tertiary face guard connected in sequence; one side, close to the coal wall, of the primary face guard is connected to a quick response device;
the quick response device is in signal communication with the vibration meter; and
the quick response device is abutted against the coal wall after receiving the vibration signal of the coal wall and before the secondary face guard and the tertiary face guard attach to the coal wall.

2. The hydraulic support with a quick response function for coal wall spalling according to claim 1 , wherein:
the quick response device comprises a second motor, connecting rod mechanisms, and an auxiliary face guard;
the second motor is mounted below the top beam;
the second motor is in signal communication with the vibration meter; and
the connecting rod mechanisms are driven by the second motor, and drives the auxiliary face guard to rotate.

3. The hydraulic support with a quick response function for coal wall spalling according to claim 2 , wherein:
each of the connecting rod mechanisms comprises a supporting rod, a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, a third connecting rod, and a fourth connecting rod;
two ends of the first connecting rod are respectively hinged to the top end of the auxiliary face guard and one end of the fourth connecting rod;
the other end of the fourth connecting rod is hinged to the top beam;
two hinge holes in an extending direction of the first connecting rod are formed in the middle of the first connecting rod;
one end of the supporting rod is hinged to a middle of a side surface of the auxiliary face guard;
an other end of the supporting rod is hinged to one of the two hinge holes, close to the auxiliary face guard, in the middle of the first connecting rod;
one end of the second connecting rod is hinged to one of the two hinge holes, close to the fourth connecting rod, in the middle of the first connecting rod;
an other end of the second connecting rod is hinged to one end of the third connecting rod; and
an other end of the third connecting rod is connected to the second motor, and is driven to rotate by the second motor.

4. The hydraulic support with a quick response function for coal wall spalling according to claim 2 , wherein:
the quick response device further comprises a telescopic plate; and
the telescopic plate is arranged in parallel with the auxiliary face guard, and slides reciprocally along the auxiliary face guard.

5. The hydraulic support with a quick response function for coal wall spalling according to claim 4 , wherein:
the auxiliary face guard is provided with a first motor and a gear;
the first motor drives the gear to rotate;
the telescopic plate is fixedly connected with a gear rack in a movement direction of the telescopic plate; and
the gear rack is meshed with the gear.

6. The hydraulic support with a quick response function for coal wall spalling according to claim 1 , wherein:
the vibration meter comprises a fixed rod, a movable rod, a housing, and a lens connected in sequence;
two ends of the movable rod are in a hinged form;
a laser, a first beam splitter, and a second beam splitter are sequentially arranged in the horizontal direction at a height of the lens in the housing;
the second beam splitter is arranged between the first beam splitter and the lens;
a reflector is arranged below the first beam splitter;
a third beam splitter is arranged below the second beam splitter;
a phase modulator is arranged between the reflector and the third beam splitter; and
a detector is arranged below the third beam splitter.

7. The hydraulic support with a quick response function for coal wall spalling according to claim 6 , wherein the fixed rod is fixedly connected to the upright post.

8. The hydraulic support with a quick response function for coal wall spalling according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a controller and an electrohydraulic valve group; and
the controller is in signal communication with the vibration meter and the quick response device.
