Description

Technical Field

[0001] A wind turbine fall protection linkage device is disclosed. This utility model belongs to the field of wind turbine fall protection technology, specifically relating to the field of wind turbine fall protection linkage technology. Background Technology

[0002] Domestically, mainstream wind turbine nacelle hoisting ports are generally divided into "internal nacelle hoisting ports" and "external nacelle hoisting ports" (such as...). Figure 6 The hoisting operation requires workers to operate near the hoisting opening. After the hoisting opening's cover is opened, there is a drop of nearly 100 meters below, and the workers operate right near the opening. Their safety measures consist primarily of the safety hooks on their safety harnesses (such as...). Figure 7 The current method uses "double safety hooks attached to a sturdy structure" as the sole fall protection measure, which lacks redundancy. This method has significant drawbacks, such as workers not wearing safety belts (including double safety hooks) during hoisting operations due to their weight, the lack of sturdy structures near the hoisting opening, difficulties in attaching or detaching sturdy structures, and the inconvenience of using short double safety hooks. These issues are common, making the area near the hoisting opening the biggest "safety hazard" on the wind turbine. This invention can solve these problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0022] A wind turbine anti-fall linkage protection device includes a motor base 1 installed above the hoisting port inside the wind turbine and a hoisting port cover 4 inside the wind turbine covering the hoisting port. An anti-fall operation box 2 for fixing the hook is installed on the side of the motor base 1. An audible and visual device 3 is also installed on the side of the motor base 1. A cover locking device 5 is provided above the hoisting port cover 4 to prevent it from being opened accidentally. A start / stop button 8 is installed on the side of the anti-fall operation box 2. An anti-touch structure 6 is installed on the side of the anti-fall operation box 2 to prevent the start / stop button 8 from being reset accidentally. An electrical control box 7 is also installed on the side of the motor base 1.

[0023] The fall arrestor control box 2 is the core equipment of the entire set of equipment. It is used to detect the safety double hook detachment and provides power to the sound and light device 3 and the cover plate locking device 5. The sound and light device 3 provides an alarm reminder, and the cover plate locking device 5 is used to lock the lifting port cover plate 4.

[0024] The motor base 1 includes a mounting housing 11 for installation. A motor 12 is installed inside the mounting housing 11. A fixing plate 13 is provided at the bottom of the fall arrestor control box 2. The fixing plate 13 is fixed to the side of the mounting housing 11. The output shaft of the motor 12 passes through and extends into the interior of the fall arrestor control box 2 and is connected to a load-bearing shaft 21 through a coupling. This allows the load-bearing shaft 21 to rotate through the operation of the motor 12, so that the hook fitted on the load-bearing shaft 21 can contact the push switch 27. This allows the hook to move downward by pulling the safety rope, applying pressure to the push switch 27. This sends a signal to the control box 7, which then controls the operation of the electromagnet 52 and opens the lifting port cover 4. This allows workers to operate through the lifting port, ensuring that the lifting port cover 4 can only be opened when the safety hook is on the load-bearing shaft 21 and the push switch 27 is pressed, thus preventing the safety hook from being missed.

[0025] The side of the load-bearing shaft 21 is provided with a groove 22 for hanging hooks. A support ring 23 is installed on the side of the fixing plate 13 at the position where the load-bearing shaft 21 intersects with the output shaft of the motor 12, which ensures the installation stability of the load-bearing shaft 21. A protective shell 24 is installed on the side of the fixing plate 13 to cover the load-bearing shaft 21. An opening 25 is provided on the side of the protective shell 24 at the position corresponding to the groove 22, which facilitates the installation of the safety hook through the opening 25. The load-bearing shaft 21 passes through and extends to the outside of the protective shell 24 and is connected to an indicator needle 26. A push switch 27 is installed inside the groove 22 at the position corresponding to the direction pointed by the indicator needle 26, which makes it easy for the operator to observe the position of the push switch 27. The safety hook is installed inside the groove 22, which can prevent it from sliding.

[0026] The start / stop button 8 is structured as an emergency stop button switch 82, and a fixing hole 81 is provided on the side of the fall arrestor 2 at the position of the emergency stop button switch 82. The emergency stop button switch 82 is set to be pressed inward to close, and at this time the emergency stop button switch 82 is completely inside the fixing hole 81. The stop button switch 82 is set to be pulled outward to open, and at this time the end of the stop button switch 82 is outside the fixing hole 81. Thus, when the emergency stop button switch 82 is opened, it is pulled outward. At this time, the control box 7 receives information and causes the motor 12 to work, thereby causing the push switch 27 to move from bottom to top. This makes it easy for people below to pull the rope to drive the safety hook downward, thereby applying pressure to the push switch 27.

[0027] The anti-touch structure 6 includes grooves 63 located above and below the start / stop button 8. A sliding rod 64 is slidably mounted inside the grooves 63. A mounting hole 65 is provided inside the sliding rod 64. The bottom end of the mounting hole 65 is connected to the inside of the groove 63 by a spring 66. The side of the sliding rod 64 is located outside the fall-prevention control box 2 and is connected to a baffle 67. The rear side of the baffle 67 is tangent to the outer side of the fall-prevention control box 2. A horizontal plate 68 is mounted on the surface of the baffle 67 away from the fall-prevention control box 2. This allows the baffle 67 to be moved laterally to expose the emergency stop button 82 when it needs to be activated. Then pull it outwards. At this time, the baffle 67 is released. Under the action of the spring 66, the baffle 67 returns to its original position. Since the end of the stop button switch 82 is outside the fixing hole 81, the baffle 67 will be in close contact with the side of the emergency stop button switch 82, thus pressing it to prevent the emergency stop button switch 82 from being accidentally closed. After the emergency stop button switch 82 is closed, the control box 7 makes the motor 12 work. At this time, the push switch 27 moves from top to bottom. Since the push switch 27 is no longer under pressure, the control box 7 will lock the electromagnet 52, thus preventing the lifting port cover 4 from being accidentally opened.

[0028] The cover plate locking device 5 includes a mounting plate 51 installed above the hoisting port inside the wind turbine. An electromagnet 52 is installed inside the mounting plate 51 to attract and fix the hoisting port cover plate 4. The electromagnet 52 is connected to the electrical control box 7 via a cable 53, which facilitates the fixing of the hoisting port cover plate 4 and prevents it from being opened accidentally.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
