Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of porcelain insulator processing equipment, and in particular to an automatic cleaning machine for porcelain insulators. Background Technology
[0002] In power systems, porcelain insulators are critical insulating components, and the cleanliness of their surfaces directly affects the stability and safety of power transmission.
[0003] At present, with the improvement of production equipment and processes, more and more automated production equipment is replacing manual labor in electrical porcelain enterprises. In the existing adhesive bonding process, rubber pads are usually placed on the heads of the porcelain parts. This is to prevent the steel cap from colliding with the porcelain parts during the bonding process and causing scratches or damage. On the other hand, the application of rubber pads can also avoid direct contact between the steel cap and the porcelain parts, thus shortening the creepage distance. However, the subsequent processing of this process is quite troublesome. After the adhesive cures, the rubber pads between the steel cap and the porcelain parts need to be pulled out manually. This increases labor costs, and after repeated pulling, the pads may deform, have larger openings, or not adhere well to the porcelain parts, affecting their service life. Manually removing the rubber pads one by one is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also extremely inefficient, making it difficult to match the high-efficiency operation rhythm of automated production lines. Moreover, with the continuous rise in labor costs, long-term reliance on manual operation will undoubtedly significantly increase the production costs of enterprises. In addition, manual operation also has the problem of uneven force control, which can easily damage the surface of the insulator and affect product quality.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a device that can automatically handle the cleaning of porcelain insulators after gluing, especially to efficiently remove the paper gaskets between the steel caps and the porcelain parts, in order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and further promote the automation and intelligentization of porcelain production.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-3 An automatic cleaning machine for porcelain insulators includes a porcelain handling mechanism and a porcelain rotation cleaning mechanism. The porcelain handling mechanism includes a conveyor frame with a horizontally sliding moving track 4 on the conveyor frame. The moving track 4 is driven by a transmission component. Multiple positioning frames 7 are provided on the moving track 4 to support the porcelain insulators. Multiple lifting cylinders 9 are provided below the conveyor frame. The output end of the lifting cylinder 9 is rotatably connected to a lower mold 5 to support the porcelain insulators.
[0025] A ceramic rotating cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning frame, a ceramic rotating motor is installed on the top of the cleaning frame, an upper mold is fixedly connected to the conveying end of the ceramic rotating motor, a cleaning sleeve 6 is installed on the cleaning frame, the cleaning sleeve 6 is located below the ceramic rotating motor, and a high-pressure water gun 8 is installed on the cleaning sleeve 6.
[0026] The porcelain handling mechanism and the porcelain rotating cleaning mechanism work together yet operate independently. The porcelain handling mechanism can function normally even when the porcelain rotating cleaning mechanism stops. The porcelain rotating cleaning mechanism will only operate in conjunction with the porcelain handling mechanism when the porcelain handling mechanism is handling porcelain pieces.
[0027] The porcelain insulator is placed on the workbench manually or by a robot, and then moved to the lower mold position 5 at the start of the transfer. The reciprocating double steel rail (moving rail 4) and lifting cylinder 9 move the porcelain part to the rotating rinsing position (the position corresponding to the cleaning sleeve 6). The upper and lower molds clamp the porcelain part, the porcelain part rotation motor is activated, and the porcelain part rotates together. The high-pressure water gun 8 is turned on to rinse the paper pad between the rotating porcelain part and the steel cap. After rinsing, the porcelain insulator is automatically transferred to the next work station by the double steel rail and lifting cylinder 9, and finally removed manually or by a robot.
[0028] In other preferred embodiments, the conveyor frame includes a horizontal frame and support rods, and the moving track 4 consists of two parallel rods connected by a connecting plate, with the rods slidably connected to the horizontal frame.
[0029] In other preferred embodiments, the positioning frame 7 is provided with an opening for the lower mold 5 to pass through.
[0030] In other preferred embodiments, the transmission assembly includes a drive cylinder 1, a first gear, a second gear, and a rack 2. The first gear meshes with the moving track 4. The first gear and the second gear are coaxially arranged to form a gear set 3, which is larger than the diameter of the second gear. The second gear meshes with the rack 2. The rack 2 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive cylinder 1 and slidably connected to the conveyor frame. The drive cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame.
[0031] A large-diameter cylinder drives the transmission rack 2 to drive the second gear, which in turn drives the first transmission gear to rotate. The first transmission gear drives the large rack 2 on the moving double steel rail, which in turn drives the moving double steel rail to move. The positioning frame 7 on the steel rail supports the ceramic part in a reciprocating motion (planar movement distance 600mm). In conjunction with the lifting cylinder 9, the ceramic part is lifted or lowered to achieve the purpose of moving the ceramic part to the next work station.
[0032] In other preferred embodiments, a lifting top plate is provided on the top of the cleaning frame, a ceramic rotating motor is fixedly connected to the lifting top plate, the output end of the ceramic rotating motor passes through the lifting top plate and extends downward, and an upper mold is provided at the extended end.
[0033] In other preferred embodiments, a wastewater tank is provided below the cleaning sleeve 6, and the wastewater tank is located below the moving track 4.
[0034] The ceramic piece is moved to the rotating cleaning position by the ceramic piece transport mechanism. At the rotating cleaning position, a photoelectric switch activates, triggering the bottom lifting mechanism cylinder. The lower mold 5 rises to support the ceramic piece and continues to ascend to the preset position. The top ceramic piece rotating motor descends. The lower part of the rotating mechanism connects to the upper mold with a compression spring assembly. The upper mold presses down on the ceramic piece's steel cap and rotates together with the lower mold 5. Simultaneously, the high-pressure water gun 8 is turned on, and the high-pressure water jet washes away the paper pad between the rotating ceramic piece and the steel cap, causing the paper pad to detach from the ceramic piece. The paper pad debris washed away by the high-pressure water jet flows away with the wastewater in the wastewater tank. The cleaned ceramic piece is then moved to the next workstation by the ceramic piece transport mechanism.
[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
