Traditional safety netting methods suffer from poor protective effects, complex installation, and poor stability, making it difficult to eliminate safety hazards and improve work efficiency. Common manual netting methods have the following drawbacks: first, the conditions at the safety netting installation points are often poor, making the netting prone to loosening and damage, failing to effectively protect the safety of maintenance personnel; second, the existing safety netting installation process is inefficient, requiring multiple workers to collaborate. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a safety protection device for the top cover and the lining of the pit, so as to solve the problems of large safety hazards and low installation efficiency of the existing protection methods.

The upper end of the traction mechanism is fixed to the pit lining, and the lower end is fixed to two corners on one side of the foot plate 9. The other side of the foot plate 9 rests on the top cover of the equipment.

[0021] The traction mechanism includes a rope tensioner 3, with a C-shaped plate 1 connected to the upper end of the rope tensioner 3. The C-shaped plate 1 is fixed to the lining of the pit. A steel wire rope 6 is connected to the lower end of the rope tensioner 3. The upper end of the steel wire rope 6 is connected to the rope tensioner 3, and the lower end of the steel wire rope 6 is connected to the foot plate 9.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the wire rope 6 are further provided with a heart-shaped ring 5, and the upper and lower ends of the wire rope 6 pass through the heart-shaped ring 5 and are clamped and fixed by the wire rope clamp 7.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the C-shaped plate 1 is provided with bolt holes 101, and a first bolt and nut assembly 2 is installed in the bolt holes 101. The C-shaped plate 1 is fixed to the pit lining by the first bolt and nut assembly 2.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, a first lifting ring 4 is provided on the bottom surface of the C-shaped plate 1, and the hook at the upper end of the rope tensioner 3 is hung on the first lifting ring 4.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the foot plate 9 has two corners on one side with a second lifting ring 8 fixed by a second bolt and nut assembly 12, and the lower end of the wire rope 6 has a heart-shaped ring 5 hooked to the second lifting ring 8.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the foot plate 9 has an opening in the middle, a reinforcing rib 11 is provided in the opening, and a wire mesh plate 10 is laid on top of the reinforcing rib 11.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the foot plate 9 has slots at both ends, and multiple foot plates 9 are arranged in a circumferential manner to form a ring-shaped protective area. Adjacent foot plates 9 are engaged with each other through the slots.

[0028] The safety protection device for the top cover and the lining of the machine pit disclosed in this utility model, during installation:

[0029] First, the C-shaped plate 1 is vertically fixed to the pre-embedded position of the pit lining using the first bolt and nut group 2, ensuring that the bolt holes 101 are aligned.

[0030] Then, hook the rope tensioner 3 into the first ring 4 of the C-shaped plate 1 and adjust the rope tensioner 3 to the initial length.

[0031] Next, the upper end of the wire rope 6 is passed through the heart-shaped ring 5 and fixed to the rope tensioner 3, and the lower end is connected to the side corner of the foot plate 9 through the second lifting ring 8 and locked with the wire rope clamp 7.

[0032] Then, the other side of the foot plate 9 is attached to the edge of the equipment top cover, and the steel wire rope 6 is tightened by the ratchet rope tightener 3 so that the foot plate 9 fits tightly with the top cover.

[0033] Finally, repeat the above steps to install multiple foot plates 9, and splice them together with slots to form a ring-shaped protective structure, ultimately covering the entire work area.

[0034] During maintenance work:

[0035] The steel wire mesh plate 10 of the foot plate 9 provides a fall protection barrier, and the reinforcing ribs 11 enhance the overall resistance to deformation.

[0036] The rope tensioner 3 can dynamically adjust the length of the wire rope 6 according to the gap between the top cover and the lining of the pit, ensuring that the foot plate 9 is always in a stable state.

[0037] The ring-shaped splicing design ensures that there are no blind spots in the protected area, and the slot connection effectively disperses external impacts and prevents local loosening.

[0038] Based on the above structure, the safety protection device can achieve rapid installation. The modular foot plate 9, in conjunction with the traction mechanism, allows a single person to complete the assembly of the ring protection area within 30 minutes, saving 60% of the working time compared to traditional safety nets. At the same time, the rope tensioner 3 can finely adjust the tension of the steel wire rope 6 in real time to adapt to the displacement of the top cover caused by temperature or load, and avoid protection failure. In addition, the slot splicing and reinforcing rib 11 design increases the overall structure's impact resistance to more than 3 times that of traditional safety nets, with a maximum load capacity of 500 kg.

[0039] This utility model effectively solves the defects of traditional safety net protection through modular design, dynamic adjustment and high stability structure, and provides efficient and reliable safety protection for the maintenance of hydropower station units.
