Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of earplug storage and access, in particular to an earplug storage and access device for a hydropower station. Background Art

[0002] A hydropower station is a comprehensive engineering facility that converts water energy into electrical energy. It is a site for generating electricity using hydropower resources and is a complex system of water, machinery, and electricity. A hydropower station generally consists of a reservoir formed by retaining and discharge structures, a water diversion system, a power plant, and electromechanical equipment. High-level water from the reservoir flows through the diversion system into the power plant, driving the turbine generator sets to generate electricity. This electricity is then fed into the power grid via step-up transformers, switch stations, and transmission lines. Hydropower stations are generally noisy, and prolonged work can affect hearing. Therefore, ear protection is necessary, including the use of earplugs, and access devices are required for storage.

[0003] Existing earplug storage and access devices are difficult to secure, typically using screws to secure them in place. This makes repositioning difficult, and when the earplugs inside the access device are used up, it's inconvenient to add more, causing inconvenience to the operator. Therefore, those skilled in the art have developed an earplug storage and access device for hydropower stations to address the issues raised in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0021] See also Figures 1 to 4In an embodiment of the present invention, the earplug storage and retrieval device of the hydropower station includes a control compartment 1, a storage cover 9 is installed on the upper end of the control compartment 1, and a control switch 2 is provided on one side of the control compartment 1, the control compartment 1 is installed on the fuselage 5, and a lower passage 11 is opened inside the control compartment 1, and a receiving tray 4 is provided at the lower end of the fuselage 5. The lower passage 11 is surrounded by a circular structure, and a discharge rod 12 is provided at the lower end of the lower passage 11. The lower passage 11 is directly above the discharge rod 12, and the earplugs falling through the lower passage 11 fall directly into the slot 14 on the discharge rod 12, one end of the discharge rod 12 is connected to a driving motor 13, and the lower end of the discharge rod 12 is provided with an outlet channel 3, a storage port 8 is opened at the upper end of the storage cover 9, and a sealing plug 7 is provided on the storage port 8.

[0022] The driving motor 13 is connected to the discharge rod 12 through the rotating shaft 16. The outer side of the discharge rod 12 is wrapped with a rubber ring 15, which just rests on both sides of the discharge channel 11 to prevent excess earplugs from falling between the discharge channel 11 and the discharge rod 12. There are four groups of slots 14 on the discharge rod 12, two in each group of slots 14, and the diameter of the slots 14 is greater than the length of the earplug 10. One slot 14 can only fit one earplug 10. When the driving motor 13 rotates once, the rotating shaft 16 will drive the discharge rod 12 to rotate 1 / 4 of a circle. At this time, the earplugs 10 inside the two slots 14 will fall onto the receiving tray 4 through the discharge channel 3.

[0023] A magnet sheet 6 is provided on the rear side of the body 5, and a suction cup 17 is provided on the bottom of the receiving tray 4. The suction cup 17 is a rubber component and can be adsorbed on the desktop. It can also be fixed on the iron door at the entrance or on an iron object at the door through the magnet sheet 6, which is convenient for fixing and moving.

[0024] The storage cover 9 and the control compartment 1 as well as the sealing plug 7 and the storage port 8 are all fixed by threaded connection, which makes it easy to remove the sealing plug 7 and add a new earplug 10 into the storage cover 9.

[0025] A battery is provided inside the control compartment 1 near one side of the drive motor 13. One end of the control switch 2 is electrically connected to the drive motor 13 and the battery. By pressing the control switch 2, the drive motor 13 is started to rotate one circle, and the battery provides power to the drive motor 13.

[0026] The storage cover 9 is a component made of transparent plastic material, and the interior of the storage cover 9 is filled with earplugs 10. The transparent storage cover 9 makes it convenient for people to see the situation inside the storage cover 9 and check the remaining amount of the earplugs 10.

[0027] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: first, open the sealing plug 7, pour new earplugs 10 into the storage cover 9 through the storage port 8, cover the sealing plug 7 tightly after pouring the appropriate amount, and then put the entire device at the entrance where the earplugs are needed. If there is a flat surface or a desktop at the entrance, the suction cup 17 can be directly used to adsorb on the plane. If the entrance is difficult to find, the magnet piece 6 can be used to fix it on the iron door at the entrance or an iron object at the door. When the staff needs earplugs, they gently press the control switch 2 once to start the drive motor 13. The drive motor 13 is pre-set. Pressing the control switch 2 once can only rotate one circle. When the drive motor 13 rotates one circle, it can drive the discharge rod 12 to rotate 1 / 4 circle. At this time, the earplugs inside the slots 14 on the same plane will fall naturally. The earplugs that fall through the discharge channel 11 will fall into the slots 14 on the upper circle of the discharge rod 12. When the next staff member operates, the slots 14 on the upper circle of the discharge rod 12 rotate until they fall.

[0028] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
