Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automation professional debugging tools, specifically relating to a portable debugging workbench for power grid dispatch automation. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of secondary equipment commissioning within power grid dispatch automation, efficient and convenient commissioning tools are crucial for ensuring the smooth operation of the work. However, the current situation presents many problems that urgently need to be addressed.
[0003] In the existing commissioning work model, commissioning personnel face the dilemma of a lack of commissioning workbenches and seats when commissioning secondary equipment on-site. This forces them to maintain standing or squatting postures for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to these uncomfortable postures places a significant strain on the physical health of commissioning personnel. Once commissioning work continues for a considerable time, personnel experience severe fatigue due to physical exhaustion. This fatigue not only affects their work performance, leading to difficulty concentrating and decreased operational accuracy, but also frequently forces work interruptions, severely reducing work efficiency and increasing the time and labor costs of commissioning work.
[0004] Regarding existing tools, while traditional mobile computer-controlled debugging workbenches integrate multiple functions to some extent and provide some convenience for debugging work, they have significant drawbacks. First, these workbenches are typically heavy, making them extremely difficult to move between computer rooms, requiring substantial manpower and resources, and failing to meet the flexible and varied site requirements of debugging work. Second, their high cost increases the economic burden of procurement and maintenance for organizations with limited budgets. Third, due to their size and weight limitations, their portability is poor, making it difficult for debugging personnel to easily transport them to different work sites, greatly limiting their scope of use and flexibility.
[0005] While trolley tool bags offer advantages in portability, making it convenient for technicians to carry tools to the work site, they also have significant drawbacks. Firstly, their soft-sided construction fails to provide reliable protection for fragile and easily damaged equipment during commissioning. During transportation and use, this equipment is susceptible to impacts, pressure, and other external forces, leading to damage and increased repair and replacement costs. Secondly, trolley tool bags lack the functionality of a commissioning workbench, failing to provide technicians with a stable and comfortable operating platform, thus severely limiting the scope of commissioning work.
[0006] In summary, existing working models and related tools cannot meet the needs of power grid dispatch automation professionals for efficient, convenient, and safe on-site commissioning of secondary equipment. There is an urgent need for an innovative commissioning tool to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0007] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of existing related technologies and provide a portable debugging workbench for power grid dispatch automation. It aims to provide technicians with a comfortable and stable debugging platform, realize the integrated storage and orderly storage of tools, enhance the portability and mobility of equipment, protect the safety of debugging equipment, meet diverse debugging needs, and thus improve the efficiency and quality of debugging work and reduce equipment maintenance costs.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a portable debugging workbench for power grid dispatch automation, comprising: a rigid housing; and a rigid tool table;
[0009] A lifting mechanism supports the rigid tool table to be raised to form an operating platform;
[0010] Modular storage components include longitudinal slot tracks on the inner wall of the box, removable partitions for inserting into the slots, and independent storage compartments divided by the partitions, for classifying and storing debugging tools and equipment;
[0011] The mobility device includes casters at the bottom of the housing and a retractable pull rod on the side;
[0012] The lifting mechanism supports the rigid tool table to rise or fall along the inclined direction; the lifting mechanism supports the rigid tool table to lift it to achieve staggered opening of the cover, and the rigid tool table is offset laterally to form a horizontal operating platform.
[0013] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism adopts a quadrilateral linkage mechanism, with one end of the quadrilateral linkage mechanism hinged to the inner surface of the box cover and the other end hinged to the inner wall of the box body.
[0014] Furthermore, when the lid is closed on the box body, the quadrilateral linkage mechanism retracts inside the box body. When the lid is lifted, the quadrilateral linkage mechanism supports the box body to rise, while the lid moves to the side. When the body of the quadrilateral linkage mechanism abuts against the opening edge of the box body, the opening edge of the box body forms a blocking support for the quadrilateral linkage mechanism, keeping the lid in a lateral position and forming a horizontal operating platform.
[0015] Furthermore, a retractable auxiliary support is provided below the suspended part of the operating platform after offset.
[0016] Furthermore, one end of the retractable auxiliary support is hinged to the back of the rigid tool table; the rigid tool table is laterally offset to form a horizontal operating platform, and the retractable auxiliary support is rotated to extend vertically downward to contact the ground to increase the fulcrum and improve the stability of the workbench.
[0017] Furthermore, the other end of the retractable auxiliary support is provided with an anti-slip rubber pad.
[0018] The present invention, by adopting the above technical solution, has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. This utility model uses a quadrilateral linkage mechanism to drive a rigid tool table to rise and shift laterally in an inclined direction, forming a horizontal operating platform. This solves the problem of standing / squatting fatigue caused by the lack of a fixed workbench in traditional debugging. Debugging personnel can flexibly adjust the platform height and angle according to their height and operating habits, reducing the load on the waist and neck, extending continuous working time, avoiding operational errors and work interruptions due to fatigue, and significantly improving debugging accuracy and efficiency.
[0020] 2. The modular storage system supports free partitioning according to tool size (such as oscilloscopes, cables, screwdrivers, etc.) through the longitudinal slot track on the inner wall of the box, removable partitions and independent storage compartments, solving the problem of the messy and disorderly traditional tool kits, realizing "classification on demand and quick access", and reducing the time wasted in searching.
[0021] 3. The rigid housing structure uses an alloy frame combined with lightweight plates and has an internal shock-absorbing layer. Compared with soft tool bags, it can effectively buffer vibrations and collisions during transportation and use, providing rigid protection for precision debugging equipment, reducing the risk of equipment damage, and reducing maintenance costs.
[0022] 4. The trolley case design features bottom omnidirectional casters and a retractable side handle, making it lighter than traditional mobile computer testing stations. Technicians can easily push or pull it alone, adapting to the need for rapid relocation to various locations such as substations and distribution stations, overcoming the limitations of traditional equipment designed for fixed computer rooms. Compact folding storage: When not in use, the workbench and case close together, and the linkage mechanism retracts internally, resulting in a small and easy-to-store size suitable for use in car trunks, elevators, and other spaces, meeting the needs of vehicle transport and vertical movement scenarios.
[0023] 5. The retractable auxiliary support is hinged to the back of the tool table. After offset, it vertically contacts the ground to form an additional fulcrum. Combined with the blocking support principle of the quadrilateral linkage mechanism, it effectively distributes the load on the table and prevents shaking or overturning. It is especially suitable for uneven ground and ensures the safety of debugging equipment.
[0024] 6. The one-stop solution integrates the operation platform with portable storage functions, replacing the cumbersome traditional "tool kit + temporary workbench" model, reducing the number of times equipment is moved and the risk of omission, achieving "one machine in place", and improving on-site debugging efficiency.

[0043] Example 2
[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a portable debugging workbench for power grid dispatch automation. Based on Embodiment 1, the structural details and operation logic are further optimized, as follows:
[0045] I. Core Structure Improvement
[0046] Rigid enclosure: It adopts a combination structure of high-strength aluminum alloy frame and fireproof and moisture-proof composite board. The frame is fixed with high-strength bolts. The interior is filled with a 3cm thick rubber shock-absorbing layer, which can effectively buffer the vibration and impact during transportation and protect the precision equipment inside the enclosure (such as relay protection testers, oscilloscopes, etc.).
[0047] A hidden power interface (not shown in the figure) is set on the side of the enclosure, which can be connected to a portable power supply to power the debugging equipment and expand the functionality of the workbench.
[0048] Hard-surface tool table: The tabletop features a non-slip textured design and is equipped with a 5cm high stainless steel guardrail to prevent tools from slipping. The bottom integrates a magnetic tool rack (not shown in the picture) that can quickly hold metal tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches, improving ease of operation.
[0049] Lifting mechanism (optimized quadrilateral linkage mechanism): The linkage assembly is made of lightweight titanium alloy, and the hinge points are equipped with self-lubricating bearings to reduce lifting resistance.
[0050] Modular storage components: The vertical slot track spacing has been adjusted to 3cm to accommodate more precise partition division; the detachable partitions are made of lightweight plastic sheets with scales, which can be cut on-site as needed, and the partitions have label slots on the side to insert category identification cards (such as "cables" and "instruments").
[0051] Elastic nylon straps are added inside the storage compartment to quickly secure the equipment with Velcro, preventing it from shaking during movement.
[0052] Mobility: The casters have been upgraded to polyurethane casters, each equipped with an independent brake, allowing for quick fixation of the workbench on smooth surfaces (such as ceramic tiles or epoxy flooring); the telescopic lever features three height adjustments (0.8m / 1.0m / 1.2m) to accommodate operators of different heights.
[0053] Telescopic auxiliary support: The support uses a telescopic stainless steel rod with a telescopic range of 0.3m-0.8m and length markings on the surface; the anti-slip rubber pad at the end has a serrated texture design to increase friction with the ground and improve stability.
[0054] II. Usage Scenarios and Operation Methods
[0055] Scenario: On-site commissioning of secondary equipment in a substation
[0056] Move to the work site
[0057] The commissioning personnel hold the telescopic lever (height adjusted to 1.0m), push the workbench to the target equipment using the bottom casters, and then press the roller brake to fix the position.
[0058] Expand operating platform
[0059] With both hands holding the sides of the workbench, gently push upwards along the inclined direction to trigger the quadrilateral linkage mechanism:
[0060] The connecting rod gradually unfolds from its retracted state inside the housing, pushing the tool table to rise vertically by 50cm, then shifting laterally by 20cm to achieve a staggered opening, finally stopping at the edge of the housing opening to form a horizontal operating platform (approximately 1.1m above the ground).
[0061] Pull out the retractable auxiliary support from the hinge on the back of the workbench, rotate it to be perpendicular to the ground, and adjust the length of the rod according to the flatness of the ground (if the ground is sloping, adjust it to 0.6m so that the support is fully in contact with the ground) to ensure that the platform does not wobble.
[0062] Tool usage and debugging
[0063] Open the left storage compartment of the box, find the "Instruments" shelf through the label slot, take out the multimeter and relay protection tester, and place them on the non-slip surface of the tool table; take out the network cable and power cord from the right "Cables" storage compartment, and organize the cables using the magnetic hanger.
[0064] During the debugging process, the tester can be powered through the power interface on the side of the enclosure to avoid the equipment's battery running out and interrupting operation.
[0065] Storage and Transfer
[0066] After debugging, return the tools to their corresponding storage compartments and lock them in place with the elastic straps; fold up the auxiliary support and hinge it back to the back of the tool table.
[0067] Press down lightly on the top of the workbench, and the quadrilateral linkage mechanism will retract, causing the workbench to fall back to the closed position of the housing. Pull up the lever to proceed to the next work point.
[0068] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
