[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0026] Example 1, referring to Figures 1-3This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an adjustment mechanism, including a support assembly 100, comprising a first support frame 101 and a second support frame 102, with the first support frame 101 located directly below the second support frame 102. A first support rod 103 is provided at the edge of the first support frame 101, and a second support rod 104 fixed to the second support frame 102 is provided above the first support rod 103. The arrangement of the first support frame 101 and the second support frame 102 provides an installation platform for the remaining components, facilitating the installation of various structures. The climbing assembly 200 includes a first climbing frame 201 and a second climbing frame 202 disposed on one side of the second support frame 102, with the first climbing frame 201 located above the second climbing frame 202. Because the inner wall of the steam drum is relatively smooth and lacks gripping structures, workers may fall when entering the steam drum through the manhole, thus affecting the maintenance work. In this embodiment, the climbing frame 201 and climbing frame 202 provide a gripping point for workers inside the steam drum, facilitating normal maintenance work. The adjustment assembly 300 includes adjustment cavities 301 respectively located at the lower part of the support rod 2 104 and the lower part of the climbing frame 201. Figure 1 As shown, the adjustment chambers 301 installed in the support rod 2 104 and the climbing frame 201 both have their outlets facing downwards. This allows dust and other debris entering the adjustment chambers 301 to be removed by gravity, reducing the probability of corrosion and extending their service life.

[0027] Furthermore, the end of the support rod 103 near the support rod 204 and the end of the climbing frame 202 near the climbing frame 201 are respectively provided with an adjusting rod 302 that is slidably connected to the adjusting cavity 301. Several corresponding adjusting holes 303 are provided at the contact positions on the surfaces of the adjusting cavity 301 and the adjusting rod 302, and adjusting bolts 304 are threadedly installed in the adjusting holes 303. In actual use, the distance from the ground to the manholes on different steam drums is different, and the internal depth of different types of steam drums is also different. In this embodiment, by setting the adjustment component 300, the ground clearance of the climbing frame 202 can be adjusted to match the manholes of different heights. The adjustment component 300 can also be used to adjust the distance between the climbing frame 1 201 and the climbing frame 202 to meet the needs of steam drum spaces of different depths. In specific use, the adjustment bolt 304 can be removed from the adjustment hole 303 first, and then the adjustment rod 302 can be slid out of the adjustment cavity 301. The length exposed outside can be determined as needed. Finally, the adjustment rod 302 can be fixed by the cooperation of the adjustment bolt 304 and the adjustment hole 303, thereby realizing the adjustment effect of the corresponding component. In addition, since the ground clearance of the manhole and the depth of the steam drum are not very large, there will be no situation where excessive adjustment makes it inconvenient for operators to climb.

[0028] Furthermore, the support frame 101 is provided with several storage tubes 105. The storage tubes 105 form a storage area on the support frame 101, which makes it convenient for staff to place the tools used for maintenance inside the storage area when transferring equipment, thereby improving the convenience of retrieving tools.

[0029] Furthermore, a movable roller 106 is provided at the end of support rod 103 away from support rod 2 104. The movable roller 106 rolls as the equipment moves, thereby reducing the difficulty of equipment transportation.

[0030] In use, the climbing component 200 allows workers to easily enter the steam drum through the manhole to perform their work. The climbing frames 201 and 202 within the climbing component 200 provide a grab point for workers inside the steam drum, facilitating maintenance. Furthermore, the adjustment component 300 allows workers to adjust the ground clearance of the support frame 102 and the distance between the climbing frames 201 and 202 as needed, enabling it to accommodate manholes of different heights and steam drums of different depths.

[0031] Example 2, refer to Figures 1-3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, it also includes climbing rods 203 for maintenance personnel to climb between support rods 103, between support rods 104, and between climbing frames 201 and 202. In this embodiment, climbing frames 201 and 202 can be placed into the steam drum through the manhole, and personnel outside can use the climbing rods 203 to climb into the steam drum.

[0032] Furthermore, the climbing frame 201 is provided with a hook 205 near the support frame 2 102, and the hook 205 is slidably connected to the support frame 2 102. The hook 205 is provided to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the climbing frame 201 and the climbing frame 202 on the support frame 2 102 and the angle at which they are inserted into the manhole as needed.

[0033] Furthermore, the second support frame 102 is equipped with several climbing crossbars 204. The climbing crossbars 204 provide a fulcrum for the movement of workers on the second support frame 102, making it easier for them to move from the second support crossbars 104 to the first climbing frame 201, thus reducing the risk of falling.

[0034] Furthermore, the support assembly 100, climbing assembly 200, and adjusting assembly 300 are all welded together from hollow steel pipes of varying sizes. The construction of the support assembly 100, climbing assembly 200, and adjusting assembly 300 results in a lower overall weight of the equipment, facilitating its transport.

[0035] In use, the climbing crossbar 204 provides a fulcrum for workers to move on the support frame 2 102, facilitating their movement from the support crossbar 2 104 to the climbing frame 1 201 and reducing the risk of falls. Simultaneously, the hooks 205 allow for real-time adjustment of the positions of the climbing frame 1 201 and climbing frame 2 202 on the support frame 2 102 and their angle of insertion into the manhole.

[0036] Example 3, referring to Figure 4 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which further provides a platform ladder for maintenance. It includes an adsorption assembly 400, comprising a mounting ring 401 fixedly installed at the end of the climbing frame 202 away from the climbing frame 201. The mounting ring 401 has an internal mounting area with a mounting hook 402. An electromagnet 403 is fixedly installed on the mounting hook 402 away from the mounting area. Because the inside of the steam drum is relatively smooth, and the climbing frame 201 is movably connected to the support frame 2 102 via a hook 205, the climbing frame 201 and climbing frame 202, when inserted into the manhole, are not very stable. To improve the stability of workers during operation, this embodiment provides an electromagnet 403 at the tail of the climbing frame 202. When it extends into the steam drum, it can be magnetically charged via a remote control, adsorbing onto the inner wall of the steam drum, thus ensuring the worker's operation. After work is completed, the electromagnet 403 is demagnetized, allowing the climbing frame 201 and climbing frame 202 to be removed.

[0037] Furthermore, an installation notch is provided near the climbing frame 202 in the installation area. The installation notch facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the electromagnet 403 by the operators.

[0038] When in use, the electromagnet 403 is installed so that when the climbing frame 202 is inserted into the steam drum, it can be made to be filled with magnetism by a remote control device and attached to the inner wall of the steam drum, thus ensuring the stability of the workers' operation.
