[0024] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Note that the following description of the embodiments is merely illustrative and is not intended to limit its applicability or use, nor is the present invention limited to the following embodiments.

[0025] Example

[0026] An adjustable insulator foreign object intrusion testing device, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the test bench includes a test bench 1 and a foreign object support device 2 mounted on the test bench 1, a pushing device 3 for moving the foreign object support device 2, a slide rail 5 for guiding the foreign object support device 2, and a baffle assembly 4 for fixing the position of the foreign object support device 2. The bottom of the foreign object support device 2 is movably mounted on the slide rail 5. The pushing device 3 is located at the starting end of the slide rail 5. The output end of the pushing device 3 pushes the foreign object support device 2 to move along the slide rail 5, causing the foreign object support device 2 to contact the baffle assembly 4. The slide rail 5 is equipped with a scale to facilitate the measurement and control of the distance between the foreign object and the insulator. The test bench 1 includes a tabletop 101 and four height-adjustable table legs 102 fixed to the bottom of the tabletop 101. By adjusting the height of the tabletop 101, it can be used for foreign object proximity and contact insulator tests on insulators of different voltage levels. In this embodiment, the foreign object is graphite fiber filaments, metal wires, or other foreign objects commonly found in insulator damage.

[0027] In this embodiment, to achieve effective support and height adjustment for foreign objects, the foreign object support device 2 includes a sliding base 201, a lifting rod, an insulating skirt 209, an upper insulating clamp 205 and a lower insulating clamp 208 for supporting foreign objects. Both the upper and lower insulating clamps 205 and 208 are made of plastic. The bottom of the sliding base 201 has a groove that matches the shape of the slide rail 5. The lifting rod includes a lower sleeve 202, a middle sleeve 203, and an upper sleeve 204, forming a three-section stretchable structure capable of fixing foreign objects with a length range of 0-600 mm. The lower sleeve 202 is fixedly mounted on the sliding base 201, the middle sleeve 203 is movably inserted into the middle of the lower sleeve 202, and the upper sleeve 204 is movably inserted into the middle of the middle sleeve 203. The upper insulating clamp 205 is located on the side of the upper sleeve 204, and the lower insulating clamp 208 is located on the side of the lower sleeve 202. Insulating skirts 209 are fitted around the lower sleeve 202, and are located below the lower insulating clamp 208. For ease of clamping, in this embodiment, both the upper insulating clamp 205 and the lower insulating clamp 208 are connected to the lifting rod via connecting rods. In this embodiment, the foreign object support device 2 is made of silicone rubber and features three insulating skirts 209 to increase the creepage distance and ensure the insulation performance and test safety of the foreign object support device 2. The top and bottom ends of the foreign object, such as graphite fiber filaments, are connected to the upper insulating clamp 205 and the lower insulating clamp 208, respectively.

[0028] In addition, to achieve controllable pushing of the foreign object support device 2 and simulate the process of a foreign object approaching an insulator, the pushing device 3 includes a spring frame 301 and a pushing spring 302. A keyhole 303 is provided on the front side of the spring frame 301, and a latch 206, matching the shape of the keyhole 303, is provided on the rear bottom of the foreign object support device 2. When the latch 206 is locked to the keyhole 303, one end of the pushing spring 302 is fixedly connected to the spring frame 301, and the other end moves forward to contact the rear side of the foreign object support device 2. When the latch 206 separates from the keyhole 303, one end of the pushing spring 302 is fixedly connected to the spring frame 301, and the other end extends forward out of the spring frame 301. The latch 206 is a controllable switch latch 206. In use, the foreign object support device 2 is pushed along the slide rail 5 towards the spring frame 301, compressing the spring until the latch 206 is inserted into the keyhole 303, thus locking it in place. When pushing is required, the control latch 206 is released, the spring extends and pushes out the foreign object support device 2, causing the foreign object support device 2 to slide along the slide rail 5. In this embodiment, the direction toward the end of the slide rail 5 is the front side, and the opposite direction is the rear side. The indicated orientation or positional relationship is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the device of the present invention and simplifying the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the component or structure referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the device of the present invention.

[0029] To adjust the position of the foreign object's end, the baffle assembly 4 includes a limiting baffle 402 and a baffle fixing plate 401. The baffle fixing plate 401 is arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the slide rail 5. The limiting baffle 402 is detachably mounted on the baffle fixing plate 401 and is located between the baffle fixing plate 401 and the slide rail 5. A first magnetic suction member 207 is provided on the front side of the foreign object support device 2, and a second magnetic suction member 403, matching the position of the first magnetic suction member 207, is provided on the rear side of the limiting baffle 402. After the foreign object support device 2 contacts the limiting baffle 402, the first magnetic suction member 207 and the second magnetic suction member 403 are magnetically connected. Multiple connection holes are provided on the baffle fixing plate 401, and the limiting baffle 402 is detachably and fixedly connected to the baffle fixing plate 401 via bolts and connection holes. Connection holes are provided on the baffle fixing plate 401 every 3 cm to facilitate installation.

[0030] When in use, when the foreign object support device 2 touches the limiting baffle 402 during its movement toward the insulator, the first magnetic attractor 207 and the second magnetic attractor 403 are magnetically connected to prevent the foreign object support device 2 from rebounding.

[0031] In practical use, a platform for fixing insulators is placed on the rear side of the test bench 1. During use, the latch 206 of the foreign object support device 2 and the latch 206 of the pushing device 3 are locked together. During testing, the latch 206 is released, allowing the foreign object support device 2 to be pushed by the spring and move along the slide rail 5 until the sliding base 201 contacts and engages with the limiting baffle 402.

[0032] The above embodiments are merely illustrative and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of the present invention. These embodiments can also be implemented in various other ways, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.
