Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of safety protection technology for thermal power plants, specifically a device for preventing misoperation in thermal power plants. Background Technology
[0002] A thermal power plant, or thermal power plant for short, is a factory that uses coal, oil, or natural gas as fuel to produce electricity. In the thermal power generation industry, electrical and automation engineering professionals need to regularly inspect and maintain various electrical equipment. During the maintenance process, there are often cases of novice operators making mistakes, which poses a serious challenge to maintenance personnel. Misoperation often leads to serious consequences such as injury or death of maintenance personnel, equipment damage, and power grid accidents. Misoperation refers to misoperation of the main switch, which necessitates a device to prevent misoperation.
[0003] However, most of the anti-misoperation devices in thermal power plants currently only protect the main switch to prevent staff from accidentally operating it. However, some staff members are unaware of the maintenance procedures for thermal power plants and will directly open the anti-misoperation device and pull up the main switch to restore power when they find that the thermal power plant is without power. This may result in serious consequences such as injury or death of maintenance personnel, equipment damage, and power grid accidents.
[0004] A device for preventing misoperation in a thermal power plant, disclosed in publication number CN211404320U, includes a column with an alarm display screen at its upper end. A mounting plate is installed on one side wall of the column, and an anti-misoperation box is mounted on one side wall of the mounting plate. A control box is located on the side of the column away from the mounting plate, housing an alarm control system electrically connected to the alarm display screen. A movable block is movably connected to the inner wall of the anti-misoperation box, and a diagonal support rod is rotatably connected to one side wall of the movable block. One end of the diagonal support rod is rotatably connected to an intermediate component. A protective side plate is installed inside the anti-misoperation box, with a conductive sheet on one side wall of the protective side plate. A fixed base is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the anti-misoperation box. This invention constitutes a secondary power-off device for a switch, effectively preventing injuries caused by misoperation, offering high safety performance and a more stable and reliable structure.
[0005] While the aforementioned patent effectively avoids harm caused by misoperation, boasts high safety performance, and features a more stable and reliable structure, the device lacks a mechanism to warn of misoperation. For novice operators, unfamiliarity with the site conditions can lead to misoperation, thus compromising safety. Utility Model Content

[0022] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model discloses a device for preventing misoperation in a thermal power plant, comprising a main switch 1 and an anti-misoperation mechanism 2. The anti-misoperation mechanism 2 includes a rotating shaft 201, a U-shaped rod 202, a receiving block 203, and quick-release bolts 205. Two rotating shafts 201 are provided, and the two rotating shafts 201 are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right outer walls of the main switch 1. The U-shaped rod 202 includes two vertical rods and one horizontal rod. The two vertical rods are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the horizontal rod to form a U-shape. The ends of the two vertical rods away from the horizontal rod are rotatably connected to the two rotating shafts 201. The upper vertical rod has a hole for the rotating shaft 201 to be rotatably connected. The horizontal rod is located above or below the operating handle of the main switch 1. A receiving block 203 is fixedly connected to one of the vertical rods of the U-shaped rod 202. The receiving block 203 has a threaded hole 204. The quick-release bolt 205 includes a stud and an annular head. The annular head is fixedly connected to the rear end of the stud. The quick-release bolt 205 is threaded into the threaded hole 204. After passing through the threaded hole 204, the quick-release bolt 205 is connected to the outer wall of the main switch 1. The outer wall of the main switch 1 has a hole for the quick-release bolt 205 to be connected.
[0023] The anti-misoperation mechanism 2 is designed to prevent the main switch 1 from being accidentally closed during maintenance. When the operating handle of the main switch 1 is pushed upwards to close, and when the operating handle of the main switch 1 is pulled down to put the main switch 1 in the open state, the U-shaped rod 202 should be positioned above the operating handle of the main switch 1. The quick-release bolt 205 fixes the position of the U-shaped rod 202 on the main switch 1 to prevent the U-shaped rod 202 from rotating. The crossbar of the U-shaped rod 202 blocks the operating handle of the main switch 1 from being pushed upwards, thus preventing the main switch 1 from closing. When the operating handle of the main switch 1 is pushed downwards to close, and when the operating handle of the main switch 1 is pulled up to put the main switch 1 in the open state, the U-shaped rod 202 should be positioned below the operating handle of the main switch 1. The quick-release bolt 205 fixes the position of the U-shaped rod 202 on the main switch 1 to prevent the U-shaped rod 202 from rotating. The crossbar of the U-shaped rod 202 blocks the operating handle of the main switch 1 from being pushed downwards, thus preventing the main switch 1 from closing.
[0024] The U-shaped lever 202 itself also serves as a certain indication. When the operator sees the U-shaped lever 202 on the main switch 1, they can also know that the main switch 1 should currently be in an inoperable state.
[0025] like Figures 1-2 The embodiment shown describes a structure where the operating handle of the main switch 1 is pushed down to close the circuit. This does not affect the understanding of those skilled in the art as to how the various components should be set when the operating handle of the main switch 1 is pushed up to close the circuit.
[0026] The quick-release bolt 205 can be rotated through the ring head, eliminating the need for other tools and making it easy to install and remove.
[0027] The device includes an alarm mechanism 3, which comprises an alarm switch button 301, a connecting wire 302, and an alarm 303. The alarm switch button 301 is located above or below the main switch 1. The alarm switch button 301 is electrically connected to the alarm 303 via the connecting wire 302. A square block 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the alarm 303. The square block 4 is connected to the mounting component of the main switch 1 via screw II 7. The square block 4 has a through hole for the screw II 7 to pass through, and the mounting component of the main switch 1 has a screw hole for the screw II 7 to be connected. The alarm switch button 301 is model JH-500E.
[0028] The function of the reminder mechanism 3 is to immediately issue an alarm when the main switch 1 is misoperated, alerting the staff. When the operating handle of the main switch 1 is pushed upwards to close the switch, the alarm switch button 301 should be located above the main switch 1. When the operating handle of the main switch 1 is pulled down to open the switch, the U-shaped rod 202 should be located above the operating handle. When the operator mistakenly pushes the operating handle of the main switch 1 upwards to close the switch, the upward push of the operating handle will first collide with the crossbar of the U-shaped rod 202. At this time, the crossbar obstructs the main switch 1 laterally. The staff should be aware of the crossbar of the U-shaped rod 202. The operation handle of the main switch 1 is blocked, thus abandoning the closing action. However, if the operator does not abandon the closing action at this time, but continues to push the operation handle of the main switch 1 upward with force, the connection of the quick-release bolt 205 may be damaged as the operator's operating force increases. When the connection of the quick-release bolt 205 is damaged, the operation handle of the main switch 1 can continue to be pushed upward, causing the U-shaped rod 202 to rotate. Before the operation handle of the main switch 1 is closed into the main switch 1, the crossbar of the U-shaped rod 202 will first contact the alarm switch button 301, thereby triggering the alarm 303 to sound and light an alarm, and once again reminding the operator of the misoperation.
[0029] When the operating handle of main switch 1 is pushed down to close the circuit, alarm switch button 301 should be located below main switch 1. When the operating handle of main switch 1 is pushed up to open the circuit, U-shaped lever 202 should be located below the operating handle of main switch 1. If the operator accidentally pulls the operating handle of main switch 1 down to close the circuit, the downward pull of the operating handle of main switch 1 will first collide with the horizontal bar of U-shaped lever 202. At this time, the horizontal bar will block the main switch 1 laterally. The operator should notice the obstruction of the operating handle of main switch 1 by the horizontal bar of U-shaped lever 202 and thus abandon the attempt to close the circuit. The circuit breaker is activated, but if the operator does not give up the closing action and continues to pull the operating handle of the main switch 1 downwards, the connection of the quick-release bolt 205 may be damaged as the operator's force increases. When the connection of the quick-release bolt 205 is damaged, the operating handle of the main switch 1 can continue to be pulled downwards, causing the U-shaped rod 202 to rotate. Before the operating handle of the main switch 1 is closed into the main switch 1, the crossbar of the U-shaped rod 202 will first contact the alarm switch button 301, thereby triggering the alarm 303 to sound and light an alarm, and once again triggering the trapezoidal mechanism to correct the operator's misoperation.
[0030] The signal of the alarm switch button 301 can also be connected to the switch of the main power supply circuit of the main switch 1, and it can be set that when the trigger of the alarm switch button 301 can control the switch of the main power supply circuit of the main switch 1 to close, thereby further ensuring that no power supply will be generated when the main switch 1 is mistakenly closed.
[0031] After the maintenance work is completed, the U-shaped rod 202 can be removed. After the U-shaped rod 202 is removed, the normal operation of the main switch 1 operating handle will not touch the alarm switch button 301.
[0032] like Figures 1-2 The embodiment shown describes a structure where the operating handle of the main switch 1 is pushed down to close the circuit. This does not affect the understanding of those skilled in the art as to how the various components should be set when the operating handle of the main switch 1 is pushed up to close the circuit.

[0034] The writing board 505 is designed to allow maintenance personnel to write reminder text on it after disconnecting the main switch 1 during maintenance. This serves as a reminder to personnel who are unfamiliar with the maintenance work but want to operate the main switch 1. The transparent protective plate 508 protects the text on the writing board 505 from accidental erasure. The drawer 509 is designed to facilitate the storage of the pen 510. After the maintenance work is completed, the lever 503 can be detached from the lever 502.
[0035] This utility model includes an installation mechanism 6, which includes a telescopic plate 601 and a connecting block 602. The bottom end of the telescopic plate 601 is fixedly connected to the top end of the main switch 1, and the connecting block 602 is fixed to the top end of the telescopic plate 601. The connecting block 602 is connected to the mounting component for mounting the main switch 1 by a screw I 603. The connecting block 602 has a through hole for the screw I 603 to pass through, and the mounting component for mounting the main switch 1 has a screw hole for the screw I 603 to connect. The installation mechanism 6 includes a limit block 604 and a ball block 605.

[0036] The installation mechanism 6 facilitates the installation of the main switch 1 at different installation positions and angles.
[0037] The installation mechanism 6 can be used flexibly according to the actual working conditions. If the main switch 1 is easy to install, the installation mechanism 6 does not need to be set up separately.
