Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of safety protection for mixing plants, and in particular to a protective device for the control console of a mixing plant. Background Technology
[0002] The mixing plants used in railway beam fabrication are mostly automatic control mixing plants. Inside the mixing plant, the control room is set up separately from the mixing equipment, thereby improving the working environment of the operators, reducing the harm of noise and dust to the operators, and enhancing the safety of the mixing equipment operation process.
[0003] However, since the control panel of the mixing plant in the control room is set on a desktop without any safety measures, when operators need to rush to the mixing plant site to handle an emergency, there is no one in the control room to supervise. Unauthorized personnel can enter the control room and operate the control panel at will, which will interfere with the normal operation of the mixing plant and may even cause safety accidents. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies where unauthorized personnel can freely operate the control panel of a batching plant when the control room is unattended, and to provide a protective device for the control panel of a batching plant.
[0005] This utility model provides a protective device for the control console of a mixing plant, comprising:
[0006] A shield having a receiving space for accommodating the control console of the mixing plant;
[0007] The identification unit is connected to the mask;
[0008] A locking mechanism is provided, which is connected to the cover. The identification unit is controlled and connected to the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism can be locked and connected to the control console of the mixing plant.
[0009] This utility model discloses a protective device for a batching plant control console. A shield covers the control console, preventing personnel from operating it. A locking mechanism secures the shield to the control console, preventing unauthorized personnel from easily removing it. An identification unit identifies the operator's identity. After verification, the identification unit sends a control signal to the locking mechanism, causing it to detach from the control console, allowing the shield to separate and facilitating operation. If the identification unit fails to confirm correct information, the locking mechanism remains connected to the control console, preventing the shield from separating and further preventing unauthorized personnel from operating the control console.
[0010] Preferably, it also includes a slide rail assembly, which is slidably connected to the cover. The cover has an opening that communicates with the receiving space and is used for the mixing plant control console to enter and exit the receiving space.
[0011] The slide rail assembly guides the cover. After the locking mechanism is unlocked, the cover can move along the guide of the slide rail assembly to one side of the mixing plant control console, making it easy for the cover to detach from the mixing plant control console. When the mixing plant control console needs to be protected, the cover is pushed to cover the mixing plant control console, so that the mixing plant control console can be protected quickly. The opening is located on the side of the cover. When the cover slides, the mixing plant control console can enter and exit the receiving space through the opening.
[0012] Preferably, the slide rail assembly includes a first guide rail and a second guide rail, the first guide rail and the second guide rail are parallel, the first guide rail and the second guide rail are slidably connected to the shield, and the first guide rail and the second guide rail are located on both sides of the shield.
[0013] The first and second guide rails are slidably connected to the two sides of the mask, respectively, so that the mask is guided and can slide smoothly, making it easy to operate.
[0014] Preferably, the mask is provided with a driving mechanism, the identification unit is controlled and connected to the driving mechanism, the driving mechanism is connected to the slide rail assembly, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the mask to move.
[0015] The mask is displaced by a drive mechanism. After the identification unit sends an unlock signal to the locking mechanism and confirms that the locking mechanism has been unlocked, the identification unit sends an action signal to the drive mechanism, causing the drive mechanism to displace the mask. The drive mechanism is a servo motor with a gear and a rack on the slide rail assembly. The rack meshes with the gear, and when the servo motor is activated, it drives the gear to rotate, thereby causing the mask and the slide rail assembly to move relative to each other.
[0016] Preferably, the mask comprises a transparent structural component.
[0017] The cover can be made of polystyrene injection molding to form a structural component that is compatible with the control panel of the mixing plant. The transparent structural component allows the operators to directly observe the status of the control panel of the mixing plant, which is convenient for the operators to operate. The cover can also be made of acrylic sheet.
[0018] Preferably, the identification unit includes a control module and an identification module, the control module being communicatively connected to the identification module and the control module being controllably connected to the locking mechanism.
[0019] The control module stores relevant information. The control module compares the information collected by the identification module with the information stored in the control module to determine the identity of the personnel. When the information matches, the control module sends an unlocking signal to the locking mechanism, causing the locking mechanism to disengage from the mixing plant control panel. This allows the cover to detach from the mixing plant control panel, enabling the operator to operate the mixing plant control panel.
[0020] Preferably, the recognition module includes a face acquisition module, a fingerprint acquisition module, a password input module, and a card information reading module, wherein the face acquisition module, the fingerprint acquisition module, the password input module, and the card information reading module are respectively communicatively connected to the control module.
[0021] The recognition module can collect information through methods such as face capture, fingerprint capture, password verification, and card information reading.
[0022] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes an electric push rod, which is embedded in the cover, the identification unit is controlled and connected to the electric push rod, and the electric push rod can be locked and connected to the control console of the mixing plant.
[0023] When the cover is fixed on the control panel of the mixing plant, the electric push rod extends and is locked in place with the control panel; when the cover is detached from the control panel, the electric push rod retracts and disengages from the control panel.
[0024] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a first locking member and a second locking member, which are located on both sides of the shield, respectively. The first locking member and the second locking member are respectively connected to the identification unit, and the first locking member and the second locking member can be respectively locked and connected to the control console of the mixing plant.
[0025] By installing a first locking element and a second locking element on both sides of the cover, the cover is securely connected to the control console of the mixing plant, ensuring the protective effect on the control console of the mixing plant.
[0026] Preferably, the mask is equipped with an alarm unit, which is communicatively connected to the identification unit.
[0027] The alarm unit can be an audible and visual alarm. When an unauthorized person triggers the identification unit, the alarm unit will sound an alarm to warn the unauthorized person to stay away from the mixing plant control panel.

[0046] Example 1
[0047] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a protective device for a mixing plant control console is specifically composed of a cover 1, an identification unit 2, and a locking mechanism 4. The cover 1 has a receiving space 11 for accommodating the mixing plant control console 100. The identification unit 2 is connected to the cover 1, and the locking mechanism 4 is connected to the cover 1. The identification unit 2 is controlled to the locking mechanism 4, and the locking mechanism 4 can be locked to the mixing plant control console 100.
[0048] The shield 1 can cover the mixing plant control console 100, thereby preventing personnel from operating the mixing plant control console 100; the locking mechanism 4 is used to limit and fix the shield 1 on the mixing plant control console 100, preventing unauthorized personnel from easily removing the shield 1; the identification unit 2 is used to identify the operator's identity information. After the identification unit 2 verifies that the information is correct, the identification unit 2 sends a control signal to the locking mechanism 4, causing the locking unit to disengage from the mixing plant control console 100, so that the shield 1 can be separated from the mixing plant control console 100, thereby facilitating the operation of the mixing plant control console 100 by the operator; when the identification unit 2 does not confirm the correct information, the locking mechanism 4 remains connected to the mixing plant control console 100, preventing the shield 1 from separating from the mixing plant control console 100, thereby preventing unauthorized personnel from operating the mixing plant control console 100.
[0049] Specifically, the cover 1 is a rectangular cover, and the accommodating space 11 of the cover 1 can completely accommodate the mixing plant control console 100, and the top of the accommodating space 11 of the cover 1 is 1 cm away from the mixing plant control console 100.
[0050] In one or more embodiments, the protective device for the control console of the mixing plant further includes a slide rail assembly 3, which is slidably connected to the cover 1. An opening 12 is provided on the side of the cover 1, communicating with the receiving space 11.

In some embodiments, limiting pieces are provided at both ends of the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 to prevent the shield 1 from detaching from the slide rail assembly 3.
[0051] In one or more embodiments, the mask 1 is a transparent structural component; specifically, the mask 1 is composed of transparent acrylic sheets.
[0052] In one or more embodiments, the identification unit 2 consists of a control module 22 and an identification module 21. The control module 22 is communicatively connected to the identification module 21 and is also controllably connected to the locking mechanism 4. Specifically, the control module 22 stores relevant information and compares the information collected by the identification module 21 with the information stored in the control module 22 to determine the identity of the personnel. When the information matches, the control module 22 sends an unlocking signal to the locking mechanism 4, causing the locking mechanism 4 to disengage from the mixing plant control panel 100, thereby allowing the shield 1 to detach from the mixing plant control panel 100 and enabling the operator to operate the mixing plant control panel 100. The identification module 21 specifically consists of a face acquisition module 211, a fingerprint acquisition module 212, a password input module 213, and a card information reading module 214. The face acquisition module 211, fingerprint acquisition module 212, password input module 213, and card information reading module 214 are all communicatively connected to the control module 22. Any type of information identification will cause the locking mechanism 4 to operate.
[0053] In one or more embodiments, the locking mechanism 4 is an electric push rod, which is embedded in the cover 1. The identification unit 2 is controlled and connected to the electric push rod. The electric push rod can be locked and connected to the mixing plant control console 100. When the cover 1 is fixed on the mixing plant control console 100, the electric push rod extends and is locked and limited by the mixing plant control console 100. When the cover 1 is detached from the mixing plant control console 100, the electric push rod retracts and is detached from the mixing plant control console 100. Specifically, a limit groove is provided on the mixing plant control console 100, and the electric push rod is inserted into the limit groove for limitation. An installation groove 13 is provided on the cover 1, and the electric push rod is installed in the installation groove 13. The electric push rod can be retracted into the installation groove 13.
[0054] In one or more embodiments, the locking mechanism 4 is composed of a first locking member 41 and a second locking member 42.

The first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42 are respectively connected to the identification unit 2. The first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42 can be respectively locked and connected to the mixing plant control console 100. Specifically, the first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42 are both electric push rods, and the first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42 are both controlled by the identification unit 2.
[0055] Example 2
[0056] like Figure 4 The protective device shown is for the control console of a mixing plant. Its structure is roughly the same as that of Embodiment 1. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the cover 1 is provided with a drive mechanism 5. The identification unit 2 is connected to the drive mechanism 5. The drive mechanism 5 is connected to the slide rail assembly 3. The drive mechanism 5 is used to drive the cover 1 to move. Specifically, the drive mechanism 5 is a servo motor. The servo motor is provided with a gear 6. The gear 6 meshes with the rack 7 set on the slide rail assembly 3, so that when the servo motor rotates, it drives the cover 1 to move relative to the slide rail assembly 3. After the identification unit 2 sends an unlocking signal to the locking mechanism 4 and confirms that the locking mechanism 4 has been unlocked, the identification unit 2 sends an action signal to the drive mechanism 5, so that the drive mechanism 5 drives the cover 1 to move.
[0057] Example 3
[0058] like Figures 5-6 The protective device shown is for the control console of a mixing plant. Its structure is roughly the same as that of Embodiment 1.
