The invention relates to a method for repairing and supporting an air return roadway in a soft rock working face of a coal mine. Firstly, a side loader is used to pull the bottom, and a roadway repair machine is used to carry out roof lifting and side expansion; For the net cable, use steel sheds for inclined miners, trough-type wooden piles and sided wooden piles to strengthen the support; for the U-shaped steel shed support section roadway, re-erect U-shaped steel sheds, trough-type wooden piles and sided wooden piles for reinforcement support. The present invention is mainly to solve the problem that during the mining process of the working face, under the influence of mine pressure and mining disturbance, the soft rock roadway will converge on the roof, floor and two sides, resulting in a significant reduction in the roadway section, affecting ventilation, pedestrians, material transportation, Coal transportation and other problems. Through the implementation of the present invention, it is also possible to effectively reduce the repair frequency of the roadway, reduce the labor intensity of workers, and increase the advancing speed of the working face, which is of great significance for improving the economic benefits of the mine.
