Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of maintenance protection, in particular to an isolation and protection device for ventilation pipes and cables entering and exiting a confined space. Background Art

[0002] Confined space operations are frequent in hazardous chemical companies, often characterized by poor ventilation, complex internal structures, and insufficient lighting. Temporary power supplies are frequently used during operations within confined spaces. Furthermore, for worker safety, confined space operations must ensure that entrances and exits remain unobstructed. Wires, cables, and vent pipes entering the confined space must be protected or insulated at the entrance to avoid using the same entrance and exit as personnel.

[0003] However, in reality, the original structure of the confined space entrances and exits and the limitations of on-site working conditions mean that cables, ventilation pipes and staff can only use the same entrance and exit. Moreover, if the ventilation pipe (long-tube blower pipe) and personnel use different entrances and exits, emergency personnel need to remove the long-tube air supply mask to escape, which poses a risk of poisoning.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a confined space cable and ventilation pipe entry and exit isolation protection device to isolate and prevent workers from entering and exiting and working in the confined space to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a confined space entry and exit ventilation pipe and cable isolation protection device, which prevents electric shock accidents of workers when entering and exiting the confined space and working through isolation, facilitates emergency escape of workers, protects the health and safety of workers, and is easy to install and disassemble, thereby improving construction efficiency.

[0006] The utility model provides a confined space inlet and outlet ventilation pipe and cable isolation protection device, including a fixed protection mechanism and a movable protection mechanism, wherein:

[0007] The fixed protection mechanism includes a set of fixed side guard plates, the end faces of which are provided with a plurality of fixed side semicircular holes, the upper ends of the two fixed side guard plates are fixedly connected to an upper fixing frame, the lower ends of the two fixed side guard plates are fixedly connected to a lower fixing frame, the lower fixing frame is provided with a locking pin, and at least one fixed side guard plate is provided with a fixed top screw;

[0008] The movable protective mechanism includes a group of movable side guard plates, and the end faces of the movable side guard plates are provided with several movable side semicircular holes. The end faces of the movable side guard plates are arranged opposite to the end faces of the fixed side guard plates, and the movable side semicircular holes correspond one-to-one with the circular holes of the fixed side plates to form several through holes. The movable side guard plates are hinged to the two ends of the upper fixed frame, and the protective plates are connected between the two movable side guard plates. The protective plates are provided with slots, and the locking pins can be fitted in the slots.

[0009] Preferably, both the end surface of the movable side guard plate and the end surface of the fixed side guard plate are provided with rubber sheaths.

[0010] Preferably, the through holes include ventilation holes and cable holes.

[0011] Preferably, the centers of the through hole including the vent hole and the cable hole are located on the same straight line.

[0012] Preferably, there is one vent hole and four cable holes.

[0013] Preferably, there are at least two fixed top screws, which are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the fixed side guard plate.

[0014] Working Principle of the Utility Model: When using the confined space entry and exit vent pipe and cable isolation and protection device, first place the device on one side of the manhole and secure it in the manhole with the top screw. Then, place the cable and vent pipe in the cable hole and vent pipe hole with rubber sheath respectively. Close the movable protection mechanism and insert the locking pin into the slot to lock it before operation can be carried out.
