[0010] The cover plate body adopts a trapezoidal structure as a whole, and the external dimensions of the cover plate body match the size of the hole above the generator rotor.

[0011] The cover handle is fixedly connected to the cover body by rivets.

[0012] The limiting structure includes a first crossbar and a second crossbar fixed parallel to each other on the bottom end face of the cover plate body, and a vertical bar is vertically fixed at the middle part of the first crossbar and the second crossbar.

[0013] The first horizontal bar, the second horizontal bar, and the vertical bar are all made of channel steel.

[0014] It also includes a cover storage box for storing the cover body;

[0015] The cover storage box includes a box frame, with first side plates symmetrically fixed to the left and right sides of the top of the box frame, and second side plates symmetrically fixed to the front and rear sides of the top of the box frame. The first and second side plates form a rectangular box, with a top cover on the top of the rectangular box and multiple sets of supporting beams on the bottom of the rectangular box.

[0016] The bottom four corners of the box frame are equipped with casters.

[0034] 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.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] like Figure 1-8As shown, a protective device for holes above the rotor of a large hydro-generator includes a cover plate body 1. Handle mounting holes 2 are symmetrically arranged on the cover plate body 1. A cover plate handle 8 is fixedly installed at the location of the handle mounting holes 2, and the cover plate handle 8 is located on the top surface of the cover plate body 1. A limiting structure for engaging with the interior of the hole is provided on the bottom surface of the cover plate body 1. A folded edge structure 5 is provided at the larger end of the cover plate body 1. This device can effectively protect the holes above the rotor during unit maintenance, preventing workers from falling through gaps, thereby effectively improving the safety level of the maintenance work site and ensuring the personal safety of maintenance personnel. In practical use, by setting the limiting structure at the location of the hole and covering the hole with the entire cover plate body 1, a good protective effect is achieved.

[0037] Furthermore, the cover plate body 1 is made of aluminum alloy patterned plate material; by using the above-mentioned plate material, its structure is simplified, the processing difficulty is reduced, and the patterned plate also provides an anti-slip effect.

[0038] Furthermore, the cover handle 8 is located on the patterned surface; the limiting structure is located on the smooth surface. The cover handle 8 facilitates the subsequent overall handling and installation of the cover body 1.

[0039] Furthermore, the folded edge structure 5 faces the surface where the limiting structure is located. The aforementioned folded edge structure 5 facilitates close contact with the outer edge of the turbine generator rotor top cover, thereby ensuring the reliability of the cover plate body 1's fixation.

[0040] Furthermore, the cover plate body 1 adopts a trapezoidal structure, and its external dimensions match the size of the hole above the generator rotor. By adopting the above-mentioned dimensions, complete coverage of the hole can be ensured, thereby guaranteeing the safety and reliability of the protection.

[0041] Furthermore, the size perfectly covers the holes and has a load-bearing capacity of over 200Kg, with a non-slip surface.

[0042] Furthermore, the cover handle 8 is fixedly connected to the cover body 1 by rivets 7. This fixing method ensures the reliability of the cover handle 8's installation and fixation.

[0043] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes a first horizontal bar 6 and a second horizontal bar 4 fixed parallel to the bottom end face of the cover plate body 1, with a vertical bar 3 vertically fixed at the middle part of the first horizontal bar 6 and the second horizontal bar 4. This limiting structure effectively restricts the sliding of the cover plate above the hole, and the outer dimensions of the I-shaped fixing device perfectly match the hole.

[0044] Furthermore, the first horizontal bar 6, the second horizontal bar 4, and the vertical bar 3 are all made of channel steel. The use of channel steel simplifies the structure.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] Since the holes above the turbine generator rotor are evenly arranged in a circle and there are many of them, in order to facilitate the subsequent overall handling and storage, a cover plate storage box is also involved to store the cover plate body 1.

[0047] Furthermore, the cover storage box includes a box frame 9, with first side plates 11 symmetrically fixed on the left and right sides of the top of the box frame 9, and second side plates 14 symmetrically fixed on the front and rear sides of the top of the box frame 9. The first side plates 11 and the second side plates 14 form a rectangular box, with a top cover 13 on the top of the rectangular box and multiple sets of supporting beams 15 on the bottom of the rectangular box.

[0048] Furthermore, the bottom four corners of the box frame 9 are provided with casters 10.

[0049] Furthermore, a box handle 12 is installed on the upper outer wall of the first side plate 11.

[0050] The working process and principle of this utility model:

[0051] First, the cover plate storage box containing the cover plate body 1 is moved to the top of the turbine generator rotor. Then, the cover plate body 1 is taken out and placed in the position of the hole using the cover plate handle 8. During placement, the limiting structure is matched with the hole, effectively restricting the sliding of the cover plate above the hole. The outer dimensions of the I-shaped fixing device are perfectly matched with the hole. The hole is then protected by the cover plate body 1. After maintenance is completed, the cover plate body 1 is removed and stored inside the cover plate storage box for future use.
