In addition, terms first and second are only adopted for description and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly indicate the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, the features limited by first or second may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the descriptions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, plurality means at least two, unless otherwise specified.

[0038] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise explicitly specified and defined, a first feature above or below of a second feature may include that the first feature is in direct contact the second features, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact, but in contact through other features therebetween. In addition, the first feature above, over, and on the second feature, includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or only means that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The first feature under, below, and underneath the second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or only means that the horizontal height of the first feature is lower than that of the second feature.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 1, a hydraulic support with a quick response function for coal wall spalling includes common devices of the existing hydraulic support such as a base 11, an upright post 12, a side protective plate 13, a top beam 14, an extensible canopy 15 and a face guard, and includes a vibration meter and a quick response device. The vibration meter is mounted on a hydraulic support, and is used for measuring a vibration signal of a coal wall in a non-contact mode. The hydraulic support with a quick response function for coal wall spalling further includes a controller 16 and an electrohydraulic valve group 17. The electrohydraulic valve group 17 controls mechanisms such as the upright post 12 and the face guards and other mechanisms to act. The controller 16 is in signal communication with the vibration meter and the quick response device.

[0040] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the vibration meter includes a fixed rod 51, a movable rod 52, a housing 53, and a lens 54 connected in sequence. The fixed rod 51 is fixedly connected to the upright post 12. Two ends of the movable rod 52 are in a hinged form; a laser, a first beam splitter 61, and a second beam splitter 62 are sequentially arranged in the horizontal direction at a height of the lens 54 in the housing 53; the second beam splitter 62 is arranged between the first beam splitter 61 and the lens 54; a reflector 64 is arranged below the first beam splitter 61; a third beam splitter 63 is arranged below the second beam splitter 62; a phase modulator 65 is arranged between the reflector 64 and the third beam splitter 63; and a detector 66 is arranged below the third beam splitter 63. A laser beam emitted by the laser is divided into a reference beam and a measurement beam through the first beam splitter 61. The measurement beam is focused and reflected on the coal wall after passing through the second beam splitter 62 and the lens 54, and the reflected beam is downward deflected to the third beam splitter 63 through the second beam splitter 62. The reference beam reaches the third beam splitter 63 after passing through the reflector 64 and the phase modulator 65 in sequence. The reference beam and the measurement beam are merged and then reach the detector 66. When the coal wall vibrates, a light beam will interfere to generate bright/dark fringes on the detector 66. A complete bright/dark periodic fringe on the detector 66 just corresponds to the displacement of half wavelength of the used laser light. Thus, vibration information of the coal wall can be detected. The vibration information is sent to the controller 16, and the controller 16 sends to an action command to the quick response device 30.

[0041] The face guard includes a primary face guard 21, a secondary face guard 22, and a tertiary face guard 23 connected in sequence. One side, close to a coal wall, of the primary face guard 21 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 22 and the tertiary face guard 23 is attached to the coal wall. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the quick response device includes a second motor 46, connecting rod mechanisms, and an auxiliary face guard 31. The second motor 46 is mounted below the top beam 14. The second motor 46 is in signal communication with the vibration meter. The connecting rod mechanisms are driven by the second motor 46, and drive the auxiliary face guard 31 to rotate. The connecting rod mechanisms are symmetrically arranged at two ends of the top of the auxiliary face guard 31 to symmetrically control the posture of the auxiliary face guard 31. Each of the connecting rod mechanisms includes a supporting rod 41, a first connecting rod 42, a second connecting rod 43, a third connecting rod 44, and a fourth connecting rod 45. Two ends of the first connecting rod 42 are respectively hinged to the top end of the auxiliary face guard 31 and one end of the fourth connecting rod 45. The other end of the fourth connecting rod 45 is hinged to the top beam 14. Two hinge holes in an extending direction of the first connecting rod 42 are formed in the middle of the first connecting rod 42. One end of the supporting rod 41 is hinged to a middle of a side surface of the auxiliary face guard 31; and the other end of the supporting rod 41 is hinged to a hinge hole, close to one side of the auxiliary face guard 31, in the middle of the first connecting rod 42. One end of the second connecting rod 43 is hinged to a hinge hole, close to one side of the fourth connecting rod 45, in the middle of the first connecting rod 42; and the other end of the second connecting rod 43 is hinged to one end of the third connecting rod 44. The other end of the third connecting rod 44 is connected to the second motor 46, and is driven to rotate by the second motor 46.

[0042] When the quick response device receives a vibration signal from the controller 16, auxiliary supporting is performed before the face guard completes a supporting action, and state change diagrams are as shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 9. The second motor 46 drives the third connecting rod 44 to rotate in a clockwise direction, so that the second connecting rod 43 drives the first connecting rod 42 and the fourth connecting rod 45 to rotate in the clockwise direction. The rotating speed of each rod is different until the auxiliary face guard 31 abuts against the coal wall in a vertical state to perform temporary support. At this moment, the supporting rod 41, the first connecting rod 42, and the auxiliary face guard 31 constitute a triangular structure to strengthen the support strength of the auxiliary protective plate 31 on the coal wall. After devices such as the hydraulic cylinder that drives all of face guards receive the vibration signal and drive the secondary face guard 22 and the tertiary face guard 23 to complete the supporting action and to abut against the coal wall, the quick response device receives a signal and is retracted gradually, and state change diagrams are shown in FIG. 10 to FIG. 13. The second motor 46 drives the third connecting rod 44 to rotate in an anticlockwise direction, so that the second connecting rod 43 drives the first connecting rod 42 and the fourth connecting rod 45 to rotate in the anticlockwise direction. However, the supporting rod 41 rotates in the clockwise direction, and the rotating speed of each rod is different until the auxiliary face guard 31 is attached to the primary face guard 21.

[0043] Preferably, the quick response device further includes a telescopic plate 35. The telescopic plate 35 is arranged in parallel with the auxiliary face guard 31, and slides reciprocally along the auxiliary face guard 31. The telescopic plate 35 may be retracted to the inside or one side of the auxiliary face guard 31 in a retracted state. The auxiliary face guard 31 is provided with a first motor 32 and a gear 33. The gear 33 is driven to rotate by the first motor 32. The telescopic plate 35 is fixedly connected with a gear rack 34 in a movement direction thereof. The gear rack 34 is meshed with the gear 33. The first motor 32 drives the gear 33 to rotate to adjust the position of the telescopic plate 35 relative to the auxiliary face guard 31. The longer the extension length of the telescopic plate 35, the larger the support area for the coal wall, thus adjusting the support area according to the area of the coal wall to be supported. Preferably, the first motor 32 may be arranged on one side, close to the primary face guard 21, of the auxiliary face guard 31. A surface of the primary face guard 21 is provided with an avoiding slot according to the volume and the position of the first motor 32.

[0044] The present disclosure has been described above by way of example, but the present disclosure is not limited to the specific embodiments above. Any modifications or variations made based on the present disclosure belong to the scope of protection claimed by the present disclosure.
