The invention discloses a disengagement operation warning device for a ship single-
cylinder engine turning gear. The disengagement operation warning device comprises a proximity switch for
crankshaft bottom dead center detection, a meshing
limit switch, a disengagement
limit switch and a warning circuit, wherein the proximity switch for detecting the
crankshaft bottom dead center is fixed on the
machine base and corresponds to a marking block on a
flywheel in position, when the proximity switch is located at the bottom dead center position, the proximity switch for detecting the
crankshaft bottom dead center is turned into a
closed state from a normally-open state so as to conduct a circuit, and the meshing
limit switch is fixed on a turning
machine; once the turning gear is separated from the meshing position, the turning gear is switched from a normally open state to a
closed state, the disengagement limit switch is fixed on the turning gear, once the turning gear is separated from the disengagement position, the turning gear is switched from the normally open state to the
closed state, and the warning circuit is connected with the meshing limit switch and the disengagement limit switch. And when the position is not at the bottom dead center position and the disconnection misoperation occurs, an acousto-optic alarm is given. According to the invention, misoperation of disengagement of the turning gear under improper conditions is avoided, the risk of misoperation is reduced, and the safety of disengagement operation of the turning gear is guaranteed.
