Since there is no safety belt and safety rope hanging point on the upper part of the cover, when maintenance personnel go to the upper part to repair or replace the indicator light, they can only drive the plant bridge crane to the upper part and hang the rope on the bridge crane hook to carry out the work, which does not meet the safety regulations. Therefore, an anti-fall hanging rod is needed to assist maintenance personnel in carrying out the work. The existing anti-fall hanging rod is usually installed by welding. This installation method makes the anti-fall hanging rod unable to be conveniently folded and placed due to the lack of appropriate folding or storage space when the anti-fall hanging rod is not needed, which makes it unable to adapt to the normal use of the generator cover. For this reason, an adjustment mechanism is proposed.
