The hydraulic support is the core of the stability of the ‘surrounding rock and equipm ent’ system in the pitching oblique working face of steeply dipping coal seam. The existing hydraulic support structure can not meet the requirements of spatial stability of pitching oblique mining, which seriously affects the safe and efficient mining of working face under such conditions. Taking the pitching oblique working face of steeply dipping coal seam as the research background, the comprehensive research methods of engineering analogy, structural kinematics analysis and numerical simulation are used to analyze the stability characteristics of ‘support-surrounding rock’ in the pitching oblique working face of steeply dipping coal seam. Based on ZY7000/22/45 hydraulic support, a new parallelogram hydraulic support is invented, the structural rationality design is carried out, and the kinematic response characteristics of key components are analyzed.The research shows that the non-uniform filling of the caving gangue and the crushing, pressing and pushing effect of the gangue on the support are the key factors affecting the stability of the support. The parallelogram top beam and the base are more suitable for the pitching oblique working face. The arrangement of the top beam, base and column of the parallelogram support is parallelogram. The special-shaped shield beam, the rear connecting rod, the oil cylinder connecting rod and the base constitute a flexible four-link structure. The column of the parallelogram support is the main bearing structure, and the cylinder connecting rod is the main motion mechanism. The main influencing factors of its motion characteristics are the distance between the upper and lower column sockets and the distance between the front and rear connecting rods and the hinged position of the shield beam. The shield beam and the rear connecting rod are the key to the position and posture control of the support, and there is no double torsion line during the movement of the support. The research results provide a type selection for the support of this kind of working face, which ensures the safe production of this kind of coal seam to a certain extent.
