[0014] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, it includes an electric switch door installed on the outer shell of the turbine, and the electric switch door includes a roller shutter frame 4 arranged on the outside of the cone pipe entrance hole 1, a roller shutter device 2 is installed on the top of the roller shutter frame 4, and a net curtain 3 is installed at the bottom of the roller shutter device 2. Slides are installed on the inner frames on both sides of the roller shutter frame 4 for the net curtain 3 to slide up and down. Specifically, in this embodiment, the traditional turbine maintenance cone entrance door is mainly to open a rectangular through hole or rectangular door on the outer shell of the turbine to accommodate workers to enter, and a fixed door that can be opened and closed is installed by technical means such as door shaft sealing, and a safety device is set up at the door during construction. The sign prevents outsiders from entering by mistake, but due to the limitations of the safety sign, it is easy to be transferred and the traditional rectangular door cannot effectively prevent outsiders from entering, which poses certain safety risks. Therefore, the utility model arranges an electric opening and closing door on the outside of the door frame of the cone tube entrance hole 1. In this embodiment, a roller shutter frame 4 is arranged on the outside of the door frame of the cone tube entrance hole 1, and the roller shutter 2 drives the net curtain 3 to rise and fall to electrically open and close the door. However, electric off-axis doors, electric sliding doors and other structures can also be used. The cone tube entrance hole 1 is completely closed by the electric opening and closing door, and can be used in conjunction with access control systems such as NFC to prevent unauthorized entry.

[0016] Preferably, an access control system 9 is also installed on the turbine outer shell, and the access control system 9 is electrically connected to the control end of the roller shutter 2 through a wire buried in the turbine outer shell. An electromagnetic suction device is provided at the connection position of the mesh curtain 3 and the roller shutter frame 4, and the electromagnetic suction device is electrically connected to the access control system 9 through a wire. In this embodiment, the mesh curtain 3 is electrically connected to the access control system 9 through a wire buried in the turbine outer shell, or is electrically connected to the access control system 9 through a wire provided on the inner wall of the turbine. A fully enclosed switch is achieved through the operating system, and the switch can be remotely controlled by the background system, thereby improving the practicality of the turbine maintenance cone pipe entrance door. At the same time, an electromagnetic suction device is provided at the switch door connection of the electric switch door, and is electrically connected to the access control system 9 through a wire, so that the electric switch door is further locked to prevent it from being pulled open. At the same time, in this embodiment, the mesh curtain 3 is made of corrosion-resistant flexible material, the mesh curtain 3 is arranged in a rectangular shape, and a plurality of through holes are evenly opened on the mesh curtain 3.

[0017] Preferably, a counterweight rod 8 is provided at the bottom of the mesh curtain 3, and a handle 6 is provided on the counterweight rod 8. In this embodiment, a counterweight rod 8 is provided at the bottom of the mesh curtain 3, and both ends of the counterweight rod 8 extend into the slides on the inner frames on both sides of the rolling curtain frame 4 respectively. The length is equal to that of the bottom of the mesh curtain 3 and is used to increase the weight of the mesh curtain 3 to maintain the stability of lifting. At the same time, a handle is provided on the counterweight rod 8 on the outside of the conical tube manhole 1 to facilitate the staff to manually pull open the mesh curtain.

[0018] Preferably, the electromagnetic suction device includes an electromagnetic suction 5 arranged on the bottom frame of the rolling shutter frame 4 and a suction piece 7 arranged at the bottom of the counterweight rod 8. In this embodiment, the specific electromagnetic suction device includes a group of electromagnetic suction 5 and a group of suction pieces 7, wherein the electromagnetic suction 5 is fixedly installed on the door frame. This door frame is not limited to the bottom frame of the rolling shutter frame 4, and can also be applied when facing other electric switch doors. At the same time, the suction piece 7 is installed on the liftable door curtain 3. When in use, when the electric switch door is fully closed, the electromagnetic suction 5 is energized through the access control system 9, and the electromagnetic suction and the suction piece 7 realize electromagnetic adsorption to enhance the closing performance of the electric switch door. The suction piece 7 is made of metal such as iron, and the suction piece 7 is fixed on the counterweight rod 8.

[0019] Preferably, the electric switch door is also provided with an audible and visual alarm, which is connected to the access control system. In this embodiment, when the staff fails to close the electric switch door by mistake and an outsider enters by mistake, the audible and visual alarm is used to remind the staff near the electric switch door; when in use, a surveillance camera can be installed above the door frame of the electric switch door to cooperate with the audible and visual alarm for early warning.

[0020] Preferably, a detection sensor is provided on the inside of the cone manhole 1 for detecting the entry of personnel. The detection sensor is installed inside the turbine, i.e., on the inside of the cone manhole 1. When the detection sensor detects that a person has mistakenly entered the cone door, a detection signal is sent to the access control controller, and the access control controller controls the sound and light alarm to sound an alarm.

[0021] The specific working method of this application is: by triggering the "rolling curtain open" button on the access control system 9, the electric roller curtain will unfold the net curtain 3, which can quickly cover the cone tube manhole 1, thereby preventing people from mistakenly entering the cone tube door; by triggering the "rolling curtain close" button on the access control system 9, the electric roller curtain will retract the net curtain 3, and the cone tube manhole 1 will be opened, so that the staff can enter the cone tube door. The access control system 9 can also be connected to the control system of the runner, and the control system of the runner sends the working status signal of the runner to the access control system. The access control system automatically controls the electric roller curtain when the turbine runner is working. The roller closes the net curtain 3, and a prominent warning sign and text are painted on the outside of the net curtain 3 to warn relevant personnel to avoid entering the conical door. For example, in this embodiment, the outside of the net curtain is painted with a "Do Not Enter" pictorial and textual sign. Simultaneously, when the electromagnetic suction 5 is energized, it generates a magnetic force, attracting and connecting the electromagnetic suction 5 and the suction plate 7 to securely lock the net curtain 3 to the door frame. When the electromagnetic suction 5 is de-energized, the magnetic force disappears, allowing the electric roller to retract the net curtain 3. A detection sensor is located on the inside of the conical door. The audible and visual alarms and the detection sensor are connected to the access control system. When the detection sensor detects a person entering the conical door, it sends a detection signal to the access control controller, which then controls the audible and visual alarms to sound an alarm.

[0022] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be the technical solutions set forth in the claims, including equivalent alternatives to the technical features of the technical solutions set forth in the claims. Equivalent alternatives and improvements within this scope are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
