Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a hydropower station equipment maintenance platform provided by this utility model; see also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the hydropower station equipment maintenance platform includes a lifting unit 100, an extendable work platform 200, and a controller.
[0026] The extendable work platform 200 includes a base plate 210; the base plate 210 is installed on the upper end of the lifting unit 100. Preferably, the lifting unit 100 is a scissor lift, used to lift the extendable work platform 200 to different heights for maintenance work at different heights; in addition, the scissor lift can also provide sufficient support for subsequent maintenance personnel work and the counterweight 240, etc.
[0027] The base plate 210 has main railings 220 on its first and second opposing sides for safety protection. A ladder 300 is also installed on either the first or second side of the base plate 210, and an opening door is provided corresponding to the main railing 220 of the ladder 300, allowing maintenance personnel to access the extendable work platform 200 via the ladder 300. Furthermore, the lower ends of the lifting unit 100 and the ladder 300 are equipped with casters 400, which facilitates the movement of the maintenance platform and improves its convenience.
[0028] An extension plate 230 is slidably disposed on the third side of the base plate 210, and a secondary railing 280 is provided on the extension plate 230; a counterweight 240 is slidably disposed on the fourth side of the base plate 210, and a secondary railing 280 is also provided on the counterweight 240. The secondary railing 280 can achieve safety protection on the third and fourth sides; a bidirectional hydraulic cylinder 290 is provided between the extension plate 230 and the counterweight 240. The first output end of the bidirectional hydraulic cylinder 290 is connected to the extension plate 230, and the second output end of the bidirectional hydraulic cylinder 290 is connected to the counterweight 240.
[0029] It should be noted that, through the aforementioned bidirectional hydraulic cylinder 290, the counterweight 240 can be adjusted simultaneously with the adjustment of the extension plate 230, thereby maintaining the stability of the maintenance platform and improving the safety level.
[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the extension plate 230 and the counterweight 240 are triggered by personnel. In this embodiment, the extension plate 230 is provided with a personnel triggering module and a ranging module. The personnel triggering module is a weighing sensor, which is arranged on the upper end surface of the extension plate 230. The ranging module is a laser rangefinder, which is arranged at the front end of the extension plate 230. The personnel triggering module, the ranging module, and the bidirectional hydraulic cylinder 290 are all electrically connected to the controller.
[0031] It should be noted that, through the above settings, the position of the extension plate 230 can be adjusted according to the distance between the extension plate 230 and the working surface during actual application, thereby adaptively adjusting the maintenance distance; the extension plate 230 and the counterweight 240 can be adjusted by personnel triggering, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the maintenance distance and the counterweight.
[0032] The working principle of this maintenance platform is briefly explained below:
[0033] After maintenance personnel enter the extendable work platform 200 via ladder 300 and the opening / closing door and stand on the extension plate 230, the load cell detects weight information and sends a trigger signal to the controller. Upon receiving the trigger signal, the controller sends a first opening signal to the laser rangefinder. Upon receiving the first opening signal, the laser rangefinder starts and measures the distance between the front end of the extension plate 230 and the work surface, sending this distance information to the controller. Upon receiving the distance information, the controller sends a second opening signal to the bidirectional hydraulic cylinder 290. Upon receiving the second opening signal... After the start-up signal, the first output terminal drives the extension plate 230 to move toward the working surface, and the second output terminal drives the counterweight block 240 to move in the opposite direction to the extension plate 230. When the extension plate 230 moves the distance corresponding to the information, the bidirectional hydraulic cylinder 290 stops. At this time, the maintenance personnel stand on the extension plate 230 to carry out maintenance work. At the same time, the counterweight block 240 can maintain the overall balance of the maintenance platform. When the maintenance personnel exit the extension plate 230, if the weighing module does not detect the weight information, it will trigger the controller to control the extension plate 230 and the counterweight block 240 to reset.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] This embodiment, based on the technical solution provided in Embodiment 1, further explains the structure of the extendable workbench 200:
[0036] In this embodiment, a plurality of first slide rails 250 are provided on the third side of the base plate 210 along its length. The plurality of first slide rails 250 are arranged on the upper surface of the base plate 210 and spaced at a certain distance. The lower surface of the extension plate 230 is slidably engaged with the plurality of first slide rails 250. A plurality of second slide rails 260 are provided on the fourth side of the base plate 210 along its length. The plurality of second slide rails 260 are arranged on the upper surface of the base plate 210 and spaced at a certain distance. The lower surface of the counterweight block 240 is slidably engaged with the plurality of second slide rails 260.
[0037] Multiple mounting brackets are provided between the extension plate 230 and the counterweight 240 along the width direction of the base plate 210. The mounting brackets are provided with mounting holes along the length direction of the base plate 210, and the cylinder of the bidirectional hydraulic cylinder 290 passes through the mounting holes.
[0038] See Figure 5As shown, the upper end face of the mounting bracket is provided with a fixing plate 270. The extension plate 230 and the counterweight 240 are provided with through holes 241 at both ends of the fixing plate 270 in the length direction. When the extension plate 230 and the counterweight 240 are adjusted, the two ends of the fixing plate 270 can pass through or out of the through holes 241 to accommodate the adjustment of the extension plate 230 and the counterweight 240, and provide a standing area for maintenance personnel, preventing maintenance personnel from contacting the bidirectional hydraulic cylinder 290 below the fixing plate 270, thus improving the safety level.
[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
