1. An intelligent terminal device for preventing mal-operation of a power equipment, the power equipment having at least one safety device, the intelligent terminal device comprising:
a communication module communicatively connected to the at least one safety device and at least one sensor disposed in the power equipment;
a display unit communicatively connected to the communication module, configured to display a communication status and a status of an unlocking mode, wherein the unlocking mode is switchable between a remote unlocking mode and an in-site unlocking mode;
an input/output (I/O) module communicatively connected to the communication module, configured to provide power I/O and I/O of information of the status of the power equipment; and
a protection shell covering and protecting the communication module,
wherein the communication module is configured to:
receive signals from the at least one sensor;
monitor a status of the power equipment based on the signals received;
monitor a status of the at least one safety device;
control action of the at least one safety device;
upload the status of the power equipment and the status of the at least one safety device to a control device through a network; and
in response to receiving an unlocking instruction from the control device, perform an unlocking procedure to control the action of the at least one safety device, wherein in the in-site unlocking mode, the unlocking procedure requires a user unlocking input to be performed, and in the remote unlocking mode, the unlocking procedure is performed directly without the user unlocking input.
