Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of high-altitude operation and maintenance platforms, and specifically relates to an in-situ maintenance platform and method for the hinge support of a hydropower station's arc gate. Background Technology

[0002] In water conservancy engineering, especially in hydropower stations, to ensure the safe operation of water-retaining structures and prevent dam overload events, flood discharge channels are installed at different elevations on the dam body. These channels, along with arched gates, discharge and impound river water from the reservoir area, controlling the upstream water level at a reasonable and safe height to ensure the safe operation of the water conservancy system. The arched gates are effectively connected to the dam body via hinges. Therefore, the safe operation of the arched gates and their hinges directly affects the safe operation of the hydropower station. Operation and maintenance units typically conduct annual routine inspections and maintenance on all four sides of the arched gate hinge metal structure according to relevant operating specifications to ensure the structural safety and stable operation of the arched gates. Thus, the maintenance of the arched gate hinges is particularly important.

[0003] However, since the arc-shaped gate hinge is fixedly installed at the upper part of the outlet of the flood discharge channel of the dam body and embedded in a suspended position, and the area below its installation position is an inclined channel, it is impossible to set up conventional scaffolding to carry out maintenance work. There is a concrete base above that obstructs the view, making it impossible to directly hoist conventional tools from top to bottom for maintenance work. At the same time, the risk and difficulty of working in the suspended position at the bottom of the arc-shaped gate hinge is even greater. How to carry out on-site maintenance work on the metal structure of the arc-shaped gate hinge in an efficient, convenient and safe manner is an urgent problem to be solved by operation and maintenance management personnel.

[0004] Based on the actual site conditions, the metal structure of the arched gate hinges generally requires annual routine inspection and maintenance on four sides: the top surface, the two side facades, and the bottom. For the top surface of this type of equipment, personnel can directly access it for work; for the two side facades and the bottom, it is necessary to construct suspended scaffolding from top to bottom at the hinge position or use a hoisting work platform to carry out the work. However, this method has the following drawbacks: 1. Scaffolding-type work platforms have low work efficiency. Scaffolding is time-consuming to erect, especially this kind of special scaffolding that is erected from top to bottom. Every time materials are transferred and passed, measures must be taken to prevent them from falling, which takes up a lot of working time and results in low work efficiency. 2. The risks are relatively high. The work area for the erection personnel is located near the edge and in the air, and there is a risk of personnel falling from a height, resulting in a high level of operational safety risks. 3. Lifting platforms are suitable for operations with small-to-high-rise spans. However, for hydropower stations with high dam structures, where the flood discharge facilities are installed about 100m from the dam crest, lifting platforms pose risks such as swaying, shaking, and uncontrollable operation. Summary of the Invention The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an in-situ maintenance platform and method for the hinges of the arc gate of a hydropower station. The working platform has a simple structure and a high degree of integration. It can be opened and closed and its height can be adjusted according to the actual hinge conditions on site, and can meet the maintenance needs of the hinges of the arc gate at different heights and in different locations.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the platform opening and closing mechanism includes an opening and closing electric actuator and a mounting bearing; the opening and closing electric cylinder of the opening and closing electric actuator is mounted on the platform opening and closing mechanism drive head mounting rod of the sliding frame, and the opening and closing telescopic rod is mounted on the platform opening and closing mechanism connecting mounting rod of the manned platform through the mounting bearing.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the pull rod mechanism includes an upper pull rod, a lower pull rod, a guide rod, a first connecting shaft, and a first locking nut; the upper pull rod and the lower pull rod are installed in the guide groove of the guide rod through the first connecting shaft and can slide inside it; the lower end of the lower pull rod of the pull rod mechanism is connected to the pull rod and fence mounting hinge of the manned platform through a pin, and the upper end of the upper pull rod of the pull rod mechanism is connected to the hinge seat of the sliding frame through a pin.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the fence mechanism consists of fence panels, connecting rods, a second connecting shaft, and a second locking nut; the fence panels and connecting rods are connected via the second connecting shaft and locked by the second locking nut; the lower end of the fence panels is connected to the pull rod of the manned platform and the fence mounting hinge via a pin, and the upper end of the connecting rod is connected to the hinge seat of the sliding frame via a pin, thereby achieving a reliable connection between the fence mechanism and the manned platform.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the expansion platform is embedded in the hidden mounting slot of the manned platform, and an operation drive block is provided on the upper part, which works in conjunction with the expansion platform slide to push the expansion platform to slide and unfold on the manned platform.

[0015] The method for using the in-situ maintenance platform for the hinge support of the arc gate of a hydropower station includes the following steps: S1. Maintenance platform installation: Fix the base frame to the concrete base surface on both sides of the arc gate hinge through the mounting holes of the mounting plate. Align the anti-slip pin holes evenly distributed on the front of the base frame with the anti-slip holes on both sides of the sliding frame. Insert pins into the anti-slip pin holes and anti-slip holes to achieve the initial suspension and locking position of the sliding frame on the base frame. Then install the anti-detachment safety plate to ensure that the anti-detachment safety plate can move safely between the hinge seat of the sliding frame and the mounting hinge seat of the manned platform. S2. The manned platform is deployed, and the opening and closing electric actuator of the platform opening and closing mechanism is activated. The opening and closing telescopic rod of the electric actuator pushes the platform opening and closing mechanism connecting rod of the manned platform, so that the manned platform mechanism rotates around the manned platform mounting hinge of the sliding frame to a horizontal position, forming a horizontal construction platform. S3. Platform height adjustment: Activate the electric actuator of the lifting drive mechanism. The telescopic rod of the electric actuator pulls the wire rope. The wire rope is guided by the wire rope pulley of the foundation frame, which drives the sliding frame to move up and down along the U-shaped slide groove of the side rail. The height of the upper surface of the manned platform can be dynamically adjusted to be level with the maintenance working surface of the arc gate hinge. After adjustment, the locking pin is inserted to prevent the manned platform from sliding. S4. The extension platform is deployed. The operation drive block of the extension platform is operated to push the extension platform to slide along the extension platform slide groove of the manned platform towards the bottom of the hinge. The limit stop groove of the extension platform cooperates with the limit stop of the manned platform to prevent the extension platform from moving beyond the limit, thus realizing a full-coverage working platform in the bottom area of ​​the hinge. S5. The maintenance platform is retrieved. After the maintenance work is completed, the unit is retrieved and locked. (1) The expansion platform is lowered and retracted into the manned platform; (2) Release the pin lock, start the electric push rod of the lifting drive mechanism to move in the opposite direction, the electric cylinder of the electric push rod drives the wire rope to retract, so that the sliding frame moves upward along the U-shaped slide to the initial hovering position, and inserts the locking pin to prevent the device from sliding down. (3) Personnel evacuate the manned platform; (4) Start the opening and closing mechanism of the platform and retract the electric push rod in the opposite direction, so that the manned platform mechanism rotates around the manned platform mounting hinge and returns to the position of fitting the base frame.

[0016] In step S3, when the sliding frame moves along the U-shaped groove, the front and rear base surfaces of the U-shaped groove of the supporting slide rail and the side rail cooperate to reduce contact friction and ensure smooth movement.

[0017] In step S4, the limiting block clearance groove of the extension platform cooperates with the limiting block of the manned platform, so that the extension platform is automatically limited when it slides to the bottom of the hinge, thus preventing the platform from exceeding the safety boundary.

[0018] In steps S2, S3, and S5, the electric actuators of the platform opening and closing mechanism and the lifting drive mechanism adopt single-step control logic to ensure that the platform retraction and height reset actions are performed in a single operation.

[0019] In step S1, the mounting plate of the foundation frame is fixed to the concrete base surface with bolts, and the mounting holes are evenly distributed to ensure that the horizontal error of the foundation frame is ≤5mm.

[0020] The present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: 1. This platform is installed on the concrete base on both sides of the arc gate hinge. During routine inspection or maintenance of the arc gate hinge, the platform can be unfolded to form a work platform for maintenance personnel. The support height of the platform can be adjusted and controlled according to different elevation requirements to achieve effective inspection of the two sides of the arc gate hinge. A connecting platform can also be erected between two maintenance platforms to achieve effective inspection of the bottom area of ​​the hinge, thus ensuring the smooth completion of the full-coverage maintenance task of the arc gate hinge. When not in use, it can be completely recycled to the fixed frame without affecting the normal flood discharge function of the facility during the flood discharge period. At the same time, for the convenience and safety of the staff, the maintenance platform is designed as a modular structure. The components are assembled using a linkage drive method. The platform has a simple structure and a high degree of integration. It can be opened, closed and height adjusted according to the actual hinge conditions on site, and can adapt to the maintenance needs of the arc gate hinge at different heights and locations.

[0021] 2. Based on the actual working conditions at the site, this invention provides an in-situ maintenance platform for the hinge support of the arc gate in hydropower stations. It provides a safe and reliable manned solution for on-site maintenance of the hinge support of the arc gate, improves work efficiency, avoids high-risk working environments for workers, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and ensures the safety of flood discharge facility maintenance and construction operations.

[0022] 3. The work platform has a safe and reliable structure, is easy to operate, improves labor efficiency, and is low in cost. This device is used for maintenance work on the air-facing surface, suspended surface, and bottom of equipment. It can also be moved freely as needed, has a wide range of applications, and is highly versatile. This platform is reusable and has broad application prospects. Attached Figure Description

There is a hinge seat 22 on each side of the upper front part. The hinge seat 22 has mounting holes 22-1 for tie rods and fence connecting shafts. Support rails 23 are provided on the front and rear parts of the left and right sides. They can be used with the front and rear base surfaces of the side rail U-shaped slide groove 10-1 of the fixed frame to reduce the contact friction with the U-shaped slide groove 10-1 and achieve smooth sliding inside it. Anti-slip holes 20-1 are provided on both sides of the sliding frame 2. The sliding frame 2 can be restricted to the suspended position of the fixed frame 1 by pins to ensure the safety of the platform device. The bottom of the sliding frame 2 is provided with a manned platform mechanism mounting hinge seat 24, which has a platform mounting hole 24-1. The lower outer side of the sliding frame 2 is provided with a platform opening and closing mechanism drive head mounting rod 25.

A pin can pass through the connecting pin mounting hole 32-1 and the platform mounting hole 24-1 to reliably connect the manned platform mechanism 3 to the manned platform mechanism mounting hinge seat 24. A tie rod and fence mounting hinge seat 33 is provided at the other end of the upper surface of the manned platform mechanism 3, with a second connecting pin mounting hole 33-1 in the middle, enabling a reliable connection between the manned platform mechanism 3 and the tie rod 5 and fence 6, ensuring the safe use of the manned platform mechanism.

[0033] Expand platform 4, such as Figure 4 As shown, the overall structure is a plate type, embedded in the manned platform mechanism 3. It can be extended and pushed out according to the needs of on-site use, and can be effectively connected with another device to form a working platform at the bottom of the hinge, ensuring the safety of maintenance in the area at the bottom of the hinge. The main body has a limit block avoidance groove 40-1, which can be used in conjunction with the limit block 30-2 of the manned platform mechanism 3 to prevent the extension platform 4 from moving beyond the limit and ensure the safety of platform use. An operation drive block 41 is installed on the upper part of the extension platform, which is used in conjunction with the extension platform slide 30-3, allowing the operator to operate the extension platform according to maintenance needs.

[0034] Pull rod mechanism 5, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the manned platform mechanism 3 is installed on both sides. Each side consists of two rod-shaped structures: an upper pull rod 50, a lower pull rod 51, a guide rod 52, a first connecting shaft 53-1, and a first locking nut 54-1. Specifically, the upper pull rod 50 has a first mounting hole 50-1 and a first connecting hole 50-2, and the lower pull rod 51 has a second mounting hole 51-1 and a second connecting hole 51-2. The guide rod 52 is provided with a mounting rod 52-1 and a guide groove 52-2. The upper pull rod 50 and the lower pull rod 51 are installed in the guide groove 52-2 through the first connecting shaft 53-1 and can slide inside it, realizing the directional movement of the upper pull rod 50 and the lower pull rod 51 during the retraction process. Under the action of the platform opening and closing mechanism 8, the pull rod mechanism 5 can effectively open and retract, thereby ensuring that the manned platform mechanism 3 is effectively pulled on the sliding frame 2 after opening, ensuring the safety of the device.

The lower end of the fence plate 60 is provided with a fence plate mounting hole 60-1, which can be installed on the pull rod and the fence mounting hinge seat 33. The upper end of the connecting rod 61 is provided with a connecting rod mounting hole 61-1, which can be installed on the hinge seat 22. Under the action of the platform opening and closing mechanism 8, the fence mechanism 6 can effectively open and retract.

[0036] Lifting drive mechanism 7, such as Figure 8 As shown, the device is installed on both sides of the fixed frame 1 and the sliding frame 1. The single-side device mainly consists of an electric actuator 70, a wire rope 71, and a pulley 72. Specifically, the electric cylinder 70-1 of the electric actuator 70 is installed on the lifting drive mechanism mounting rod 13 of the fixed frame 1. One end of the wire rope 71 is connected to the telescopic rod 70-2 of the electric actuator 70, and the other end of the wire rope 71 is connected to the mounting lug 21 of the sliding frame 2. The pulley 72 is installed on the wire rope pulley mounting rod 12 of the fixed frame 1, and the mounting shaft 73 is installed on the mounting lug 21 of the sliding frame 2. The mechanism drives the wire rope 71 to move up and down through the telescopic movement of the electric actuator 70, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the sliding frame 2 within the fixed frame 1, providing a reliable working platform for the safe maintenance of the two sides of the arched door hinge and the bottom area.

[0037] Platform opening and closing mechanism 8, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the platform is installed on the outside of the fixed frame 1 and the sliding frame 1. The opening and closing function of the platform is mainly realized by the opening and closing electric push rod 80. Specifically, the opening and closing electric cylinder 80-1 is installed on the platform opening and closing mechanism drive head mounting rod 25 of the sliding frame 2. The opening and closing telescopic rod 80-2 is installed on the platform opening and closing mechanism connecting mounting rod 31 of the manned platform mechanism 3 through the mounting bearing 81. The mechanism realizes the rotation of the manned platform mechanism 3 around the manned platform mechanism mounting hinge seat 24 of the sliding frame 2 through the telescopic movement of the opening and closing electric push rod 80, thereby achieving the effective opening and closing movement of the manned platform mechanism.

[0038] The method for using the in-situ maintenance platform for the hinge support of the arc gate of a hydropower station includes the following steps: S1. Maintenance platform installation: Fix the base frame 1 to the concrete base surface on both sides of the arc gate hinge through the mounting holes 11-1 of the mounting plate 11. Align the anti-slip pin holes 10-2 evenly distributed on the front of the base frame 1 with the anti-slip holes 20-1 on both sides of the sliding frame 2. Insert pins into the anti-slip pin holes 10-2 and anti-slip holes 20-1 to achieve the initial suspension and locking position of the sliding frame 2 on the base frame 1. Then install the anti-detachment safety plate 14 to ensure that the anti-detachment safety plate 14 can move safely between the hinge seat 22 of the sliding frame 2 and the manned platform mounting hinge seat 24. S2. The manned platform is deployed, and the opening and closing electric push rod 80 of the platform opening and closing mechanism 8 is activated. The opening and closing telescopic rod 80-2 of the opening and closing electric push rod 80 pushes the platform opening and closing mechanism connecting installation rod 31 of the manned platform 30, so that the manned platform mechanism 3 rotates around the manned platform mounting hinge seat 24 of the sliding frame 2 to a horizontal position, forming a horizontal construction platform. S3. Platform height adjustment: Activate the electric push rod 70 of the lifting drive mechanism 7. The telescopic rod 70-2 of the electric push rod 70 pulls the wire rope 71. The wire rope 71 is guided by the wire rope pulley 72 of the foundation frame 1, which drives the sliding frame 2 to move up and down along the U-shaped slide groove 10-1 of the side rail 10. The height of the upper surface of the manned platform 30 and the maintenance working surface of the arc gate hinge can be dynamically adjusted. After adjustment, the locking pin is inserted to prevent the manned platform 30 from sliding. S4. The extension platform is deployed. The operation drive block 41 of the extension platform 4 is operated to push the extension platform 4 to slide along the extension platform slide groove 30-3 of the manned platform 30 towards the bottom of the hinge. The limit block clearance groove 40-1 of the extension platform 4 cooperates with the limit block 30-2 of the manned platform 30 to prevent the extension platform 4 from moving beyond the limit, thus realizing a full-coverage working platform in the bottom area of ​​the hinge. S5. The maintenance platform is retrieved. After the maintenance work is completed, the unit is retrieved and locked. (1) The expansion platform 4 is lowered and retracted into the manned platform 30; (2) Release the pin lock, start the electric push rod 70 of the lifting drive mechanism 7 to move in the reverse direction, the electric cylinder 70-1 of the electric push rod 70 drives the wire rope 71 to retract, so that the sliding frame 2 moves upward along the U-shaped slide groove 10-1 to the initial hovering position, and insert the locking pin to prevent the device from sliding down. (3) Personnel evacuate the manned platform; (4) Start the opening and closing mechanism 8 of the platform and retract the electric push rod 80 in the opposite direction, so that the manned platform mechanism 3 rotates around the manned platform mounting hinge 24 and returns to the position of fitting the base frame 1.

[0039] In step S3, when the sliding frame 2 moves along the U-shaped slide groove 10-1, the supporting slide rail 23 cooperates with the front and rear base surfaces of the U-shaped slide groove 10-1 of the side rail 10 to reduce contact friction and ensure smooth movement.
