TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of protection frame, specifically relates to a protection frame for wind power hub box closing. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, wind power hub is developing towards megawatt direction, and the outline size and weight are increasing. The wind power hub is usually composed of two half shells, and the shaft hole is arranged in the middle, and a plurality of blade mounting holes are arranged on the side of the spherical shell-shaped wind power hub. The outline size of the casting is generally about φ4000mm*4000mm long, and the weight is about 20-30T. Considering the economy of production cost, the industry adopts the way of producing by the pit modeling hexagonal special sand box.
[0003] The wind power hub casting process is usually one box one piece, and the parting surface is the surface of the center of the three variable pitch surfaces. The upper box and the lower box sand box are about 3 meters high. During the production process, the personnel stand on the sand box about 3 meters high to carry out the core, the paving, the closing and other processes. The above-mentioned way has the following defects in the production process: ① high safety risk: the operator needs to walk back and forth on the parting surface during the core, the paving, the supplementing and the measuring, but the sand box frame is only about 100mm wide, and the parting surface consumes about 150mm of sand, that is, the personnel operate on the sand box edge about 3 meters high and 250mm wide. During the closing, the operator also needs to stand on the parting surface and adjust the direction by hand holding the 3m high upper box. With the gradual falling of the upper box, the operator must slowly move from the parting surface to the side of the sand box until the closing is completed. The whole production process is high-altitude operation, and the personnel have no protective measures, so the safety risk is large; ② low production efficiency: after the closing is completed, the sand box needs to be locked and the sand needs to be filled. The hexagonal sand box needs to be filled with sand on 6 sides and locked on 36 holes. Therefore, the operator needs to use the ladder to climb and move the ladder for operation, and one person needs to cooperate with the fixed ladder, which greatly wastes human resources, seriously restricts the production efficiency and still has safety risks. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the above-mentioned problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0024] The detachable fixed connection structure of the platform 1 and the sand box 5 is as follows: the long side inside of the platform 1 is uniformly provided with a plurality of outwardly suspended pin hole plates 4, the suspended end of the pin hole plate 4 is attached to the plate surface of the horizontal rib plate of the sand box 5, and the platform 1 is detachably fixed on the outside wall of the sand box 5 through the pin 6 inserted and matched with the pin hole on the horizontal rib plate of the sand box 5.
[0025] In use, the pin hole plate 4 is connected with the sand box 5 by the pin 6, so that the protection frame is installed on the sand box 5. One pin hole plate 4 is provided on the platform 1 of the protection frame every 1000mm, that is, 2-3 pins 6 need to be installed or removed every time the protection frame is used, which is simple and fast to operate.
[0026] The specific structure of the reinforced support leg 3 is as follows: the reinforced support leg 3 comprises a main support leg 3-1, an auxiliary support leg 3-2 and a reinforcing inclined strut 3-3, the auxiliary support leg 3-2 is arranged towards the side of the sand box 5, and the main support leg 3-1 is located outside the auxiliary support leg 3-2, the upper end of the main support leg 3-1 and the auxiliary support leg 3-2 is fixed on the bottom surface of the platform 1, and the outer end of the support rod 3-4 is fixedly connected with the inner side wall of the lower end of the main support leg 3-1 through the hole of the lower end of the auxiliary support leg 3-2, the upper end of the reinforcing inclined strut 3-3 is fixedly connected with the outer edge position of the bottom surface of the platform 1, and the lower end of the reinforcing inclined strut 3-3 is fixed on the outer side wall of the lower end of the main support leg 3-1, and the inner end of the support rod 3-4 is tightly fitted with the box rib of the sand box 5; specifically, the upper end side wall of the main support leg 3-1 and the auxiliary support leg 3-2 is provided with an inclined strut 3-5 fixedly connected with the bottom surface of the platform 1, the above structure is made of a square steel pipe with a size of 50mm*90mm and a wall thickness of 3mm, which ensures the strength and rigidity of the protection frame and improves its protection performance; in the above structure, without changing the structure of the sand box 5, the support rod 3-4 is tightly fitted with the box rib of the sand box 5 for support under the premise of inserting the pin 6 into the horizontal rib plate of the sand box 5, which ensures the stability and reliability of the support structure and is convenient for disassembly and assembly;

Specifically, the distance between the platform 1 and the top surface of the sand box 5 is 900mm. The guardrail 2 protects personnel. It is made of φ30 steel pipes welded into a grid-shaped frame. The grid design creates a double steel pipe at the joint of two protective frames, effectively filling the gap between the protective frames and enhancing their protective function. The guardrail 2 is 1300mm high, slightly higher than the center of gravity of a person by 1100mm, effectively preventing personnel from falling and getting injured when operating at a height of 3000mm.
[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the protective frames on the five outer walls of the sand box 5 are independent of each other and have no assembly relationship, which facilitates installation and use. The hexagonal sand box 5 only requires five protective frames, that is, the sixth side does not need a protective frame. When in use, the side of the sand box 5 without a protective frame is placed against the side wall of the pit, maintaining a distance of about 800mm from the pedestrian walkway, which makes it easy for personnel to cross over and retrieve the tools and materials needed in the production process (all of which are placed on the pedestrian walkway), saving the installation and dismantling of one protective frame. The opening ends of the two platforms 1 adjacent to the wall side of the sand box 5 are fixed with sealing railings 7 to improve safety.
[0029] Platform 1 is the position where operators stand and work. The steel plate used to manufacture Platform 1 must be strong enough to bear a load of 300 kg. Therefore, a 3mm anti-slip steel plate is used, cut and welded as a single piece to ensure the integrity of Platform 1, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the protective frame. The height of Platform 1 from the top surface of Sand Box 5 is 900mm, which is the most suitable operating height for personnel. It is suitable for personnel to stand on Platform 1 to lock the box, insert sand, etc., and the 900mm height also makes it easy for personnel to move from the parting surface to Platform 1 when closing the box.
[0030] This technical solution features a segmented protective frame that is lightweight, easy to operate, and flexible in installation and disassembly. It allows personnel to operate on the platform, significantly improving production efficiency and enhancing personnel safety.
