Provided is a supporting method capable of preventing roof and wall falling accidents. By means of the supporting method,
joist steel,
metal nets and a hydraulic support are adopted for supporting a broken roof plate of a working surface in an auxiliary mode. When an opening is
cut in the working surface,
metal nets with certain specifications are overlaid on a section of a
cut opening on the whole working surface are fixedly connected onto the section of the
cut opening, and certain pitches among the
metal nets are connected through iron wires. Afterwards, the hydraulic support is installed in the cut opening, a top beam of the hydraulic support butts against a direct top, so that the connected metal nets can droop in front of the hydraulic support and butts against a
coal mine wall through a face guard plate. The
joist steel is horizontally bundled on the metal nets before the hydraulic support through iron wires. In
coal mining, the face guard plate is drawn back, and the metal nets in front of the hydraulic support are bundled on a column through iron wires. When
coal mining is not performed, the metal nets are put down, the face guard plate butts against the coal mine wall, the support moves frontward, the metal nets are connected with the
joist steel and moves to cover on the roof plate relative to the support, then work for connecting the metal wires and bundling the joist steel can be performed uninterruptedly and repeatedly until actual mining on the working surface is finished.
