Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective facility technology, and more specifically to the field of modular protective fence technology for the maintenance of hydro-generator sets. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, when overhauling large hydroelectric generator units, movable fences are generally used to enclose the foundation pit to prevent personnel and objects from falling from heights. However, due to structural defects, the following problems and safety hazards or risks exist: 1. The base of the movable fence is not fixed with bolts: This makes the fence unstable and poses a risk of falling from a height when people lean on it.
[0003] 2. The fence is not reinforced: If there is an external impact, the fence may fall into the pit, which may lead to serious consequences.
[0004] 3. Inadequate bottom protection: The diameter of the foundation pit for a large hydroelectric generator set can reach 20 meters. The drop between the fence and the working surface of the wind tunnel is about 9 meters, and the drop to the working surface of the spiral casing is about 19 meters. Objects falling from the gap at the bottom of the fence may have serious consequences.
[0005] 4. It is not convenient to connect with the ladders of the upper and lower rotors, nor can it be used as a fixed point to suspend safety belts, etc. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a modular protective fence for the maintenance of hydro-generator sets in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution: This utility model provides a modular protective fence for the maintenance of a hydro-generator set, including protective fence units evenly distributed around the circumference of the hydro-generator set. Each protective fence unit includes an irregularly shaped base, an externally threaded column assembly disposed on the outside of the irregularly shaped base, an internally threaded column assembly disposed on the inside of the irregularly shaped base, a fence plate assembly disposed on the externally threaded column assembly and the internally threaded column assembly respectively, and a radial adjustment assembly for tightening or adjusting the distance between the externally threaded column assembly and the internally threaded column assembly. The irregularly shaped base is fixed to the base bolt holes and radial bolts on the upper frame of the hydro-generator unit by a fixing component.

The base is fixed to the bottom bolt holes and radial bolts of the upper frame with bolts, and is integrated with the fixing bolts of the equipment itself. It is not only easy to assemble and disassemble and securely fixed, but also eliminates the risk of falling from a height when people lean on it. The fence is a double-ring fence with high mechanical strength and stability. It will not tip over or fall into the foundation pit even under large external impacts.
[0009] Whether it is a single unit or multiple discontinuous units, the fence is very sturdy, and when combined into a whole, it is even more robust. It can fully meet the safety protection requirements of the hydro-generator pit, and is practical, innovative, novel, and highly versatile. It can be widely used in the maintenance of hydro-generator units.
