An ordinary agricultural electrician from the grassroots, good at self-study and exploration, love invention and creation, through his invention of power application devices and equipment are widely used in the actual operation link, cracked a number of domestic power operation and installation of the old and difficult problems, and such practical technology inventions, in less than ten years, he completed more than ten, he is the State Grid Huoqiu County Power Supply Company Agricultural Electrician Zhou Hongzhuan.
In November 2021, Lu'an Power Supply Company led Mr. Sun and Zhou Hongzhan commissioned the new equipment

Zhou Hongzhuan is an agricultural and electrical worker with only a primary school education level, if there is anything different from others, it is that he loves to learn and use his brain, and has more vigor.
Zhou Hongzhuan, 57 years old this year, is medium-sized, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with the edges and corners of a northern man, dressed in civilian clothes, smiling modestly, and always flashing wisdom and self-confidence in his eyes when speaking. He has no high education, but has a unique hands-on ability, good at finding problems in the work, researching and solving problems, and is called "worker inventor" by employees.
Because his father is engaged in mechanical maintenance work, Zhou Hongzhuan likes to tinker with various machinery since he was a child, after graduating from primary school, due to the large number of brothers and sisters, the family's economic difficulties, Zhou Hongzhuan dropped out of school at home to learn mechanical appliance maintenance with his father, and helped the neighbors of Shili to repair motors, pumps, clocks, small household appliances, agricultural machinery and other supporting families.
Zhou Hongzhuan, who loves to use his brain, has not stopped learning, he works with his father while learning technology during the day, and teaches himself junior high school and college courses at night. In order to go out to see the outside world, in 1989 he went to Qingdao alone to work for Haier Company. Due to his diligence and studiousness, through several years of hard work, Zhou Hongzhuan not only got a high salary, but also became a backbone. In 1996, his hometown recruited agricultural and electricians, and he always remembered his hometown and returned to Huoqiu and entered the Kanshan Electric Pipe Station of Huoqiu County Power Supply Bureau.
Zhou Hongzhuan started from the lowest level of meter reader, collector and maintenance worker, and experienced the great development of the power supply industry across the ages, until he was involved in the operation and management of the agricultural electricity 2000, 4.0 and SG186 computer systems in the field of scientific and technological information, which made him deeply aware that science and technology is the first development of productive forces. Long-term grass-roots practice and training, so that he can skillfully master the turn, planing, milling, drilling machine, as well as air protection, argon arc welding technology.
"When I encounter something I don't understand, I will learn, what knowledge I need, I will buy books, learn what knowledge, you may not believe it, not long ago moved, my book tractor pulled two cars or more." 」 Zhou Hongzhuan said: "In order to buy books and buy parts, I ran through various places in the province, and at that time, the traffic was not yet developed, so I rode my bicycle and rode all the way, and I had a desire in my heart, and I didn't feel hard. "People with dreams, naturally have pursuits, time in Zhou Hongzhuan here seems to be particularly worth cherishing, he is like a child thirsty for knowledge, constantly learning to delve into circuit design, C language programming, CAD drawing and other modern scientific and technological knowledge, laid a solid foundation for his future inventions and innovations." The craziest thing I've ever done was that in 1986, I spent 60,000 yuan on a scrapped Wuling car and took it all down, just to confirm the car repair knowledge I learned in the book. ”

The time to work hard for dreams is happy, as long as people have goals, there are stars shining in their eyes.
With the increasing scale of investment in the transformation and upgrading of rural networks and the increasingly heavy tasks of power grid construction, pole climbing operations occupy a large workload in the construction process. The traditional pole climbing operation mainly relies on the three tools of the ascent board, the foot buckle and the bucket arm car. The climbing board and the foot buckle need to rely on manpower to get on and off the pole, and the pole climbing process needs to be repeated, time-consuming and laborious, and the workload is large, the stability is low, and there is a risk of slippage and fall in the pole climbing process. Although the bucket arm car solves the problem of relying on manpower to get on and off the electric pole and slip and fall, the work process is cumbersome, the use cost is high, and the limitations are large.
"One summer, a few of our colleagues came back late and tired from construction outside, and everyone joked while eating that if there was a small device for climbing the pole, carrying it around, a button, easy to climb the pole." Although it is a joke, the speaker has no intention, the listener is intentional, Zhou Hongzhuan has studied mechanical processing and circuit production, maybe he can try it and solve the problem for the workers. Once he decided to start, Zhou Hongzhuan plunged headlong into it, "At the beginning, the design was square, the effect was not ideal, and then it was changed to a circle, which was not OK." Once in order to solve a small problem, I did not sleep a stable sleep in 3 months. Zhou Hongzhuan smiled and said, "When the real experiment was successful, I didn't fall asleep for a week, and I was excited." After continuous improvement and experimentation, Zhou Hongzhuan finally found that Mitsubishi could solve all the problems and successfully climbed the pole.
Chen Anwei, chairman of the State Grid Anhui Electric Power Company, went to the scene to guide the commissioning of the equipment
In the red studio, Zhou Hongzhuan himself stood on the pole climbing machine and demonstrated to reporters, only to see him standing on his feet in the designated position, and when he rose, he used his feet to control the ascending button and easily get on the pole. When descending, the lower button is also controlled by the foot to achieve the lower bar, efficient and automatic. "This uses a triangular stable structure and aluminum magnesium alloy material, the main body can bear a weight of 300 kg without deformation, it has the function of anti-error operation, when the rod diameter rises to a certain extent, the rod holding system will stop increasing thrust, prevent misoperation, resulting in the pole climbing machine rising too high, dangerous." At the same time, in the turbine tooth transmission structure, two automatic locking devices are set up, once the circuit is damaged in the work, at the moment of motor power failure, the device will instantly hold the rod body to prevent falling. When the automatic locking device is triggered, the staff can enable the reset button to make the pole climber descend steadily and reach the ground safely. ”
In 2018, Zhou Hongzhuan took the "portable electric pole climbing machine" developed by him and his team to win the first prize of the QC achievement release of the provincial company and the first prize of the provincial quality association, until it was on the stage of the State Grid for display and peer evaluation, and won the gold award of the fourth Youth Innovation Competition and the silver award of the "Double Yue Star" of the State Grid.

The passion of daring to be the first and the spirit of craftsmanship in striving for excellence are the unique temperament of the worker inventors.
Behind the achievements and honors, Zhou Hong has too many unspeakable bittersweet and bittersweet. The family's incomprehension, the neighbor's sneering, during those days, Zhou Hong specialized in eating and living in his own small workshop, a 20 square meter cottage, in addition to a bed, a small dining table, is a mountain of tools, hardware materials and various drawings. There is no overtime day and night, meditating all day, sleeping with circuit drawings, often having sudden inspiration, getting up in the middle of the night to work. Failure after failure, starting over again and again, the belief of not accepting defeat supports his progress again and again.
In the red book studio, there are many inventions, Zhou Hongzhuan is like a number of family treasures, "this is my and the team developed the 'standby zero loss power meter automatic heat dissipation device' and "smart meter installation leakage overcurrent protection device', both of which won the first prize of the provincial company QC achievement release, and this 'intelligent alarm bird repeller' mainly protects the power supply equipment, and also put into application." ”
In Zhou Hongzhuan's mind, there is no lack of inspiration, and life bit by bit is an inexhaustible source. Years engaged in line equipment maintenance, Zhou Hongzhuan every year to peak summer high temperature repair meter box, accumulated a lot of experience, he has been thinking, can let the outdoor high temperature baking under the meter box in the temperature control device automatic heat dissipation, in order to solve the meter box due to high temperature heat caused by the high temperature heat caused by the burnout of the meter line equipment in the box. After many tests, he installed an automatic temperature-controlled heat dissipation device in the existing watch box and achieved success in one fell swoop.
"The road to innovation is endless, we are currently developing a new generation of electric pole climbing robots that can climb over obstacles and have a wider range of applications, and I believe that in the near future, it will be able to be presented to everyone." Today, Zhou Hongzhuan and his technical team are developing a project to install the robot, and once successful, it will be able to replace the existing manual completion of the installation of fittings and wire laying after the pole tower is ascended, and realize the maximum possible artificial intelligence in the field operation where safety risks exist.
"I am just an ordinary agricultural and electrician, but I have always dreamed of becoming an inventor, and on the road of chasing my dreams, I firmly believe that happiness is a struggle, and dreams are also struggled out." Zhou Hongzhuan's road to invention has just begun, and there are more surprises waiting for him in the future. (West Anhui Daily Rong media reporter Xie Julian, Song Jinting)
Interview Notes
Make more workers "inventors"
In the era of "Made in China" to "Created in China", in recent years, a group of ingenious and intelligent worker inventors have emerged in our city, who are not scientists, do not have proud academic qualifications, but study and persist like scientists, with hard work and ingenuity, presenting people with one after another full of brain holes.
In the eyes of people in the past, invention and creation were out of reach, but in fact, more and more workers are participating in the invention of invention, and an improvement, a little innovation may be an invention. They not only solve the defects in the process or equipment, but also create numerous practical technologies. They proved with impressive results that workers are not only "screws" on the assembly line, but also the leaders of production line optimization and upgrading.
The overall development of the scientific and cultural level of a country and a nation not only depends on a small number of scientists, but also needs to improve and progress as a whole. To build an innovative country, more "worker inventors" and "employee invention stars" are needed. From "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing", it is necessary for relevant government departments and enterprises to build a platform for workers to innovate, establish a reward and support mechanism, give financial and technical support, create a good environment for their inventions and creations, provide a power source, provide convenience for patent applications, and transform into real productivity as soon as possible. Hopefully, in the future, we will meet more "worker inventors."
