Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protection device technology, and in particular to a protective cover device to prevent misoperation of valve handles. Background Technology
[0002] In many sectors of today's society, valves, as key components controlling the transport and flow of various fluids, are widely used in industrial production, construction facilities, energy supply, and municipal engineering. Their importance is self-evident. Once valve operation is erroneous, it can lead to a series of serious consequences. In the industrial field, chemical plants have a complex pipeline system filled with various valves. These valves control the flow and volume of hazardous chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and toxic gases. If the valve handle is misoperated, it will cause chemical leakage, instantly disrupting the carefully maintained safe environment in the workshop. This will not only pose a direct threat to the life and health of the operators, but may also cause fires or even violent explosions, causing devastating damage to the entire plant. Similarly, in oil refineries, misoperation of valves can disrupt the crude oil processing flow, leading to production stoppages and huge economic losses. At the same time, it can also cause crude oil leakage, polluting the surrounding soil and water sources, and causing incalculable environmental damage.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN214579171U, which discloses a gas ball valve protection device. The device includes a back plate and a front cover, with the back plate and front cover connected to form a protective cover for the gas ball valve. A through-hole for the gas pipeline to pass through is provided through the cover. A first cavity for accommodating the gas ball valve is formed in the center of the through-hole; a second cavity for accommodating the ball valve handle is also provided inside the cover, penetrating the first cavity. In use, the back plate and front cover are fastened to the gas ball valve, completely covering and shielding the valve body and handle. Even if the protective device is accidentally touched, the valve will not open, improving safety during gas maintenance. The shape and size of the through-hole, the first cavity, and the second cavity can be designed according to the specific shape and size of the gas pipe and the ball valve to accommodate different models of gas ball valves. However, during equipment operation, pipeline vibration and accidental collisions with personnel and equipment can cause the protection to loosen and fail. Utility Model Content
