Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of barring gears, in particular to an engaging handle for a barring gear device. Background Art

[0002] A cranking mechanism typically utilizes a traditional worm gear reduction mechanism and an oscillating gear clutch mechanism. The motor is positioned horizontally, and features an electrically operated hydraulic engagement mechanism driven by lubricating oil pressure. This allows for remote or local operation, continuous or intermittent cranking, and automatic disengagement from the rotor during a backflip. Before cranking begins, the engagement solenoid valve is energized to initiate oil flow into the hydraulic mechanism, pushing the handle from the disengaged position to engage the mechanism. Once the engagement signal is in place, the solenoid valve is de-energized, allowing the hydraulic mechanism to drain oil. This closes the oil supply channel, creating a pressure-retaining state that keeps the handle in the engaged position, allowing the cranking mechanism to be operational.

[0003] Currently, the position detection switch for the engagement handle is a microswitch. The operating principle of a microswitch is that external mechanical force acts on the actuating reed through a transmission element, causing the fixed contact at its end to quickly connect or disconnect with the moving contact, thereby achieving its function. Poor contact, deformed springs, and insufficient operating force are the most common types of failure for micro switches. When the turning device is put into operation, because the microswitch's own actuating point is the contact point and the contact surface is small, there is a problem of contact deviation with the engagement handle, resulting in insensitivity and inability to effectively guarantee normal signal output, delaying the turning device's start-up time. In severe cases, it can cause damage to the equipment or even scrap. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, in strong light environments, the photoelectric switch 5 will also be disturbed, which can easily lead to malfunction. Therefore, the present device is equipped with a photoelectric switch protection mechanism 4 to protect the photoelectric switch 5 and prevent the detection accuracy of the photoelectric switch 5 from being reduced due to contamination such as dust or interference from strong light.

[0051] In summary, this device greatly improves the accuracy of engagement and disengagement signal detection, effectively avoids the hidden dangers of poor contact, and improves equipment reliability.
