For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one embodiment of the utility model discloses a nuclear power plant foreign body isolation area equipment control device, which is arranged at the entrance and exit of the nuclear power plant foreign body isolation area (such as the generator foreign body isolation area), and is used for maintenance personnel to control the equipment 2 carried before entering the nuclear power plant foreign body isolation area and after exiting the nuclear power plant foreign body isolation area. The nuclear power plant foreign body isolation area equipment control device includes a cabinet 11, a fixed base 12, a radio frequency reader 13, a visual camera (not shown), an identity acquirer 14, a touch display 15 and a host 16, which are as follows:

[0038] The cabinet 11 includes at least one first storage space 111 for storing the apparatus 2 with the radio frequency tag and at least one second storage space 112, and a shielding structure is provided in the first storage space 111 to shield the external radio frequency electromagnetic signal, mainly to prevent the radio frequency reader 13 from reading the radio frequency tags in other first storage spaces 111. Among them, at least one can be one, two, three or any number.

[0039] The radio frequency reader 13 is used to automatically read the radio frequency tag, and the radio frequency reader 13 is installed in the first storage space 111. The visual camera is used to capture the device 2, and the visual camera is installed in the second storage space 112.

[0040] The fixing base 12 is disposed in the second storage space 112. The fixing base 12 is provided with at least one fixing structure 121 for fixing the tool 2. The tool 2 is fixed by the fixing structure 121, so that the visual camera can stably shoot the tool 2. The at least one can be one, two, three or any number. When multiple fixing structures 121 are included, multiple tools 2 can be evenly fixed on the fixing base 12. Figure 3 shown.

[0041] The identity acquisition device 14 is used to acquire the identity information of the person, and the identity acquisition device 14 is installed on the cabinet 11. The touch display 15 is used to display the information of the person and the appliance 2, and the touch display 15 is installed on the cabinet 11.

[0042] The host 16 is electrically connected to the radio frequency reader 13, the visual camera, the identity acquisition device 14 and the touch display 15, respectively, and the host 16 is installed on the cabinet 11. The host 16 can receive the tool information and personnel information obtained by the radio frequency reader 13, the visual camera and the identity acquisition device 14, and display them through the touch display 15. At the same time, the maintenance personnel can also borrow and return the equipment 2 on the touch display 15. In addition, the host 16 will also count the number of equipment 2, store personnel registration records, store equipment registration records, store borrowing and returning records, etc., to form a log list. It should be noted here that the host 16 has the ability to receive, count, record, store and control, which is realized by using existing technologies. It is a common technical means / common knowledge in this field and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] In this embodiment, the radio frequency tag of the instrument 2 is automatically read and identified by the radio frequency reader 13, and the instrument 2 is photographed and identified by the visual camera, which can maximize the accuracy and reliability of the instrument data in the instrument cabinet, because in actual maintenance activities, many instruments 2 (such as sleeves, measuring instruments, etc.) cannot be bound to radio frequency tags, or binding radio frequency tags will affect the use function of the instrument 2, or introduce new foreign body risks, and the visual camera can use visual methods (such as image recognition, AI recognition, etc.) to photograph and identify the instrument 2. This method does not require any changes to the instrument 2 itself. These two methods will cover most of the needs for self-service management and control of on-site instruments 2, and can also achieve a balance in the size requirements of the instrument cabinet. It should be noted that the radio frequency reader 13 has the ability to automatically read and identify, and the visual camera has the ability to photograph and identify, which is achieved by using existing technologies. It is a common technical means / common knowledge in this field and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second storage space 112 is located in the middle of the cabinet 11, and the first storage space 111 is located in the upper or lower part of the cabinet 11. The middle, upper and lower parts here are only examples and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0045] In some embodiments, in order to improve the utilization rate of the first storage space 111, the first storage space 111 has at least two stacked spaces in which the appliances 2 can be placed in layers.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the fixed base 12 is a fixed bottom plate, and the fixed structure 121 is a mold groove that matches the shape of the utensil 2. The mold groove can ensure that the utensil 2 is not blocked, while reducing or lowering the height requirement of the second storage space 112. For example, if the utensil 2 is roughly rectangular as a whole, then the mold groove is also rectangular. The rectangle here is only an example and is not intended to limit the present application.

[0049] Furthermore, in order to facilitate maintenance personnel to take out the tool 2 from the model groove, at least one notch (not shown) for taking out the tool 2 is provided around the model groove, and the notch is communicated with the model groove.

[0050] In some other embodiments, the fixed base 12 is a fixed bottom plate, and the fixed structure 121 is a clamp arranged according to the shape of the tool 2, and the clamp can be elastically deformed.

The front, one side and above here are only examples and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0056] In some embodiments, the identity acquirer 14 includes a face camera for capturing the face of a person and / or a card reader for reading the identity document of a person. Specifically, when a person needs to borrow or return an instrument 2, the face camera can be used to capture the person's face to obtain the person's facial information, or the card reader can be used to read the citizen's identity card or employee's identity card to obtain the person's information, and then the person's information is bound to the information of the borrowed or returned tool 2 in the host 16 to provide data support for subsequent tool tracking management. It should be noted that the face camera and the card reader are both implemented using existing technologies, which are common technical means / common knowledge in the field and are not described in detail here.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the nuclear power plant's foreign body isolation area equipment control equipment also includes a door panel 17 and a first electric lock 18. The door panel 17 is hinged on the cabinet 11 on one side of the first storage space 111. The first electric lock 18 is installed on the cabinet 11 on the other side of the first storage space 111. A first lock cavity (not shown) is provided at the door panel 17 corresponding to the first electric lock 18. The lock tongue of the first electric lock 18 can be extended into or out of the first lock cavity to lock or unlock the door panel 17.
