When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0069] This invention proposes an internal cone detection device.

[0070] In this embodiment of the invention, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The inner cone testing device includes a testing mechanism and multiple insertion mechanisms 30. The testing mechanism includes a housing 20 and a testing element. The housing 20 has an inner cavity and multiple testing holes 20a. The inner cavity is filled with insulating gas, and the multiple testing holes 20a communicate with the inner cavity. The testing element is used to connect the cable and the inner cone to test its performance. Each testing hole 20a is used to insert the inner cone 1 to be tested. One end of each insertion mechanism 30 is detachably connected to the housing 20 and is positioned opposite to a testing hole 20a. Each insertion mechanism 30 is used to fix the cable 2 and drive the cable 2 to be inserted into the testing hole 20a. When the inner cone 1 to be tested is inserted into the testing hole 20a, the insertion mechanism 30 drives the cable 2 to be inserted into the testing hole 20a, and connects the end of the cable 2 away from the testing hole 20a to the testing element. The performance of the inner cone 1 is tested after the testing element is energized. After the test is completed, the cable 2 is de-energized, and each insertion mechanism 30 can also drive the cable 2 to be withdrawn from the testing hole 20a.

[0071] In this embodiment, the inner cone detection device also includes a device base 10, which is detachably connected to the bottom of the outer shell 20 of the detection mechanism. Insulating gas needs to be introduced into the internal space of the outer shell 20 to prevent the high-voltage core of the cable 2 from breaking down with the low-voltage outer shell 20 during operation. The outer shell 20 is grounded and made of metal to ensure the overall structural strength of the detection device. First, the operator inserts the inner cone 1 to be tested into the detection hole 20a of the outer shell 20 of the detection mechanism to fix its position. At this time, the inner cone 1 and the detection element are not yet energized. Then, the insertion mechanism 30 is energized, causing the cable 2 to be inserted into the detection hole 20a of the outer shell 20, connecting the cable 2 to the inner cone 1 located at the detection hole 20a. Then, the inner cone 1 and the detection element are energized, allowing the detection element to detect the inner cone 1. Specifically, the end of the inner cone 1 cable 2 furthest from the inner cone 1 is energized, and a high-voltage current or electric field is applied through the detection element to detect the withstand voltage and partial discharge performance of the inner cone 1.

[0072] As can be seen from the above operation process, the insertion mechanism 30 drives the cable 2 to move automatically towards the inner cone 1 to be tested, so that the cable 2 is inserted into the inner cone 1 to be tested, thereby improving the detection efficiency of the inner cone detection equipment.

[0073] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The insertion mechanism 30 includes a guide rod assembly, a control assembly 32, a slide 33, and a drive assembly 34. One end of the guide rod assembly is detachably connected to the housing 20. The control assembly 32 is detachably connected to the guide rod assembly. The guide rod assembly includes a guide rod 31, and the slide 33 is slidably inserted through the guide rod 31. The slide 33 has a mounting hole for installing a cable 2 that is inserted into the inner cone 1 to be tested. The drive assembly 34 is movably connected to the housing 20 and is drively connected to the slide 33. The drive assembly 34 drives the slide 33 to slide along the guide rod 31 so that the slide 33 drives the cable 2 to be inserted into the inner cone 1 to be tested located in the detection hole 20a.

[0074] In this embodiment, the guide rod assembly includes two guide rods 31 and two mounting blocks. Each guide rod 31 has two ends connected to the two mounting blocks, and the two guide rods 31 are arranged side-by-side with a gap between them. One mounting block is detachably connected to the outer wall of the housing 20. One end of the control component 32 is detachably connected to a mounting block adjacent to the housing 20, and the other end of the control component 32 is detachably connected to another mounting block. The slide 33 has a U-shaped longitudinal cross-section, and two mounting holes are provided on opposite sides of the slide 33. The cable 2 passes through the two mounting holes. The drive component 34 is located between the two guide rods 31. After the control component 32 is powered on, it controls the drive component 34 to operate. The drive component 34 drives the slide 33 to move along the extension direction of the guide rods 31. Simultaneously, the movement of the slide 33 also moves the cable 2, causing the cable 2 to move closer to or further away from the inner cone 1 to be detected located at the detection hole 20a, thereby improving the detection efficiency of the inner cone detection device.

[0075] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The control assembly 32 includes a control housing 321, a changeover switch 322, and a first limit switch 323. The control housing 321 is detachably connected to the outer housing 20 and detachably connected to the guide rod assembly. The changeover switch 322 is installed inside the control housing 321 and is electrically connected to the drive assembly 34. The first limit switch 323 is located inside the control housing 321 and is positioned near the detection hole 20a. The first limit switch 323 is used to control the drive assembly 34 to stop after contacting the slide table 33.

[0076] In this embodiment, the control component 32 employs a changeover switch 322, which is a low-voltage switch capable of switching multiple circuits. Multiple moving contacts are welded onto the shaft; as the shaft rotates, these moving contacts sequentially connect or disconnect with the stationary contacts, switching the circuit. This allows the control component 32 to more precisely control the drive component 34. A first limit switch 323 is also provided near the front end of the cable 2. Thus, when the cable 2 is driven by the drive component 34 to the position of the detection hole 20a, the first limit switch 323 contacts the slide table 33 and triggers the drive component 34 to stop operating. This ensures that the drive component 34 stops operating promptly after the cable 2 has moved into position, resulting in more precise movement of the cable 2.

[0077] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6The control component 32 also includes a second limit switch 324, which is located inside the control housing 321 and away from the detection hole 20a. The second limit switch 324 is used to control the drive component 34 to stop after contacting the slide table 33. Thus, when the cable 2 is driven by the drive component 34 to a position away from the detection hole 20a, that is, when the cable 2 moves to the other end of the guide rod 31, the second limit switch 324 contacts the slide table 33 and triggers the drive component 34 to stop running. This allows the drive component 34 to stop running in time after the cable 2 has moved into position, thereby making the movement of the cable 2 more precise.

[0078] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 The drive assembly 34 includes a lead screw 341, a drive nut 342, and a drive motor 343. One end of the lead screw 341 is rotatably connected to the housing 20, and the other end is movably connected to the guide rod assembly. The drive nut 342 is movably mounted on the lead screw 341 and is detachably connected to the slide 33. The drive motor 343 is driven by the lead screw 341. The drive motor 343 drives the lead screw 341 to rotate, thereby causing the lead screw 341 to move the drive nut 342 and the slide 33. In this embodiment, the drive assembly 34 uses a lead screw 341, a drive nut 342, and a drive motor 343. The thread of the drive nut 342 engages with the thread of the lead screw 341 for transmission, making the movement of the cable 2 more precise, thereby improving the movement accuracy of the insertion mechanism 30. The lead screw 341 can be a ball screw or a trapezoidal lead screw.

[0079] Optionally, a spur gear is provided on the output shaft of the drive motor 343, and the outer wall of the spur gear meshes with the outer wall of the lead screw 341 to realize the transmission connection between the drive motor 343 and the lead screw 341. In this way, the transmission between the drive motor 343 and the lead screw 341 is smoother.

[0080] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 12 and Figure 13The drive nut 342 includes a mounting shell 3421, a first half-nut 3422, a second half-nut 3423, at least one wedge block 3424, and a shift fork 3425. The mounting shell 3421 is detachably connected to the slide table 33. The mounting shell 3421 has a mounting cavity 3421a and a through hole 3421b, with the through hole 3421b communicating with the mounting cavity 3421a. The lead screw 341 is movably inserted through the through hole 3421b. The first half-nut 3422 is movably connected to the mounting cavity 3421a, and the inner wall of the first half-nut 3422 is threaded. The second half-nut 3423 is movably connected to the mounting cavity 3421a. It is installed in the mounting cavity 3421a and is correspondingly set with the first half nut 3422; the outer wall of the first half nut 3422 and the outer wall of the second half nut 3423 form a guide groove 342a; the wedge block 3424 is movably embedded in the guide groove 342a; one end of the shift fork 3425 is rotatably connected to one end of the wedge block 3424; wherein, after the shift fork 3425 drives the wedge block 3424 to move along the guide groove 342a, the first half nut 3422 descends and abuts against the second half nut 3423, so that the thread of the first half nut 3422 engages with the outer wall of the lead screw 341.

[0081] Specifically, the mounting shell 3421 includes a front shell, a middle shell, and a rear shell. Both the front shell and the rear shell are provided with through holes 3421b, and the middle shell is provided with a mounting cavity 3421a. The front shell and the rear shell are detachably connected to opposite sides of the middle shell, which facilitates the removal of the wedge block 3424 located in the mounting cavity 3421a.

[0082] The first half-nut 3422 and the second half-nut 3423 are located in the mounting cavity 3421a and can be loosened. When the operator rotates the shift fork 3425, the shift fork 3425 rotates and at the same time drives the wedge block 3424 to move closer to the detection hole 20a, so that the wedge block 3424 is inserted into the guide groove 342a surrounded by the first half-nut 3422 and the second half-nut 3423. The first half-nut 3422 and the second half-nut 3423 abut against the top cavity wall and the bottom cavity wall of the mounting cavity 3421a, respectively. At this time, the first half-nut 3422 rises, so that the thread of the first half-nut 3422 no longer engages with the thread of the lead screw 341. In this way, the operator can directly push the slide table 33 to move closer to the detection hole 20a, which greatly speeds up the movement speed of the insertion mechanism 30 and improves the insertion efficiency of the insertion mechanism 30.

[0083] When the operator moves the shift fork 3425, it moves the wedge block 3424 away from the detection hole 20a, causing the wedge block 3424 to disengage from the guide groove 342a. At this time, the first half nut 3422 descends, causing the first half nut 3422 and the second half nut 3423 to abut against each other. This allows the thread of the first half nut 3422 to re-engage with the thread on the outer wall of the ball screw 341. The drive motor 343 then drives the screw 341 to rotate, causing the screw 341 to move the first half nut 3422 laterally along its extension direction and towards the detection hole 20a. This allows the slide 33 and the cable 2 located on the slide 33 to be inserted into the inner cone 1 to be tested at the detection hole 20a. It is understandable that the operator can automatically or manually move the slide by operating the shift fork, causing the cable 2 to move closer to or away from the detection hole 20a.

[0084] In this embodiment, the guide groove 342a is adapted to the wedge block 3424, and the size of the guide groove 342a decreases from the end closer to the shift fork 3425 to the end farther away from the shift fork 3425. Optionally, the wedge block 3424 includes a main block, two wedge-shaped portions, and a connecting strip. The two wedge-shaped portions are respectively disposed on the upper and lower sides of the main block, and the connecting strip is disposed on one side of the main block, adjacent to the two wedge-shaped portions and located between the two wedge-shaped portions. The end of the connecting strip away from the main block is rotatably connected to the shift fork 3425. Each wedge-shaped portion is provided with a guide slope, and the inclination of the guide slope is adapted to the inclination of the guide groove 342a. With this arrangement, the guide slopes in the upper and lower directions of the two wedge-shaped portions of the wedge block 3424 cooperate with the guide groove 342a, making it easier for the wedge block 3424 to be inserted into or removed from the guide groove 342a, thereby accelerating the adjustment speed of the drive nut 342.

[0085] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 12 and Figure 13The drive nut 342 also includes two return springs 3426. Each of the first half-nuts 3422 and 3423 has a countersunk hole on its opposite side. One end of each return spring 3426 is confined within the countersunk hole, and the other end is confined within the mounting housing 3421. With this configuration, when the first half-nut 3422 and 3423 are pushed away from each other by the wedge block 3424, the upper return spring 3426 is pressed by the first half-nut 3422, and the lower return spring 3426 is also pressed by the second half-nut 3423. When the first half-nut 3422 and 3423 move closer together as the wedge block 3424 exits the guide groove 342a, the two return springs 3426 extend, causing the first half-nut 3422 to re-engage with the second half-nut 3423, thus achieving automatic reset of the first half-nut 3422 and 3423.

[0086] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 The insertion mechanism also includes a protective sleeve 35, which includes an inner pressure sleeve 351, an outer pressure sleeve 352, and a spring sleeve 353. The inner pressure sleeve 351 is used to fit onto the outer wall of the cable 2; one end of the outer pressure sleeve 353 is movably fitted onto the outer wall of the inner pressure sleeve 351, and the other end of the outer pressure sleeve 353 extends toward the detection hole 20a; and the outer pressure sleeve 352 and the cable 2 form a insertion groove 35a, which is used for the insertion of the inner cone 1. The spring sleeve 353 is sleeved on the outer wall of the inner pressure sleeve 351 and the outer pressure sleeve 352. The two ends of the spring sleeve 353 are detachably connected to the inner wall of the slide table 33. The spring sleeve 353, the slide table 33, the outer pressure sleeve 352 and the inner pressure sleeve 351 form a receiving cavity 35b. A spring 35c is installed in the receiving cavity 35b. The spring 35c is sleeved on the inner pressure sleeve 351, and the two ends of the spring 35b abut against the ends of the slide table 33 and the outer pressure sleeve 352, respectively.

[0087] Specifically, the inner pressure sleeve 351 is tightly fitted between the cable 2 and the slide table 33, while one end of the outer pressure sleeve 352 is confined within the accommodating cavity 35b, and the other end of the outer pressure sleeve 352 is used to insert the inner cone 1. When the cable 2 is driven to insert into the inner cone 1, the inner cone 1 will insert into the insertion groove 35a between the outer pressure sleeve 352 and the cable 2. The cable 2 and the inner cone 1 are connected by the cooperation of the inner pressure sleeve 351 and the outer pressure sleeve 352. One end of the outer pressure sleeve 352 is movable relative to the protective sleeve 35. When the outer pressure sleeve 352 is inserted into the inner cone 1, the outer pressure sleeve 352 compresses the spring 35c. The rebound force generated by the spring 35c after being compressed can push the outer pressure sleeve 351 and the inner cone 1 to connect more tightly, thereby improving the connection tightness between the cable 2 and the inner cone 1. The spring 35c can also provide a buffering force to prevent damage to the cable 2.

[0088] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 The inner pressure sleeve 351 includes a body sleeve 3511 and a clamping sleeve 3512. One end of the body sleeve 3511 abuts against the slide table 33 and the other end extends into the outer pressure sleeve 352. The end of the body sleeve 3511 away from the outer pressure sleeve 352 forms a plug-in gap 3511a with the cable 2. The clamping sleeve 3512 is plugged into the plug-in gap 3511a.

[0089] Specifically, when assembling the inner pressure sleeve 351 with the cable 2, the main body sleeve 3511 and the outer pressure sleeve 352 are first fitted onto the outer wall of the cable 2, so that the main body sleeve 3511 and the cable 2 are connected. Then, the tight pressure sleeve 3512 is inserted into the insertion gap 3511a, which is adjacent to the mounting hole of the slide table 33. After the tight pressure sleeve 3512 abuts against the outer wall of the cable 2, it will form an outward expansion trend, thereby making the main body sleeve 3511 abut against the wall of the mounting hole. This allows the inner pressure sleeve 351 to fit tightly with the slide table 33 and the cable 2, so as to protect the cable 2.

[0090] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The outer casing 20 includes a casing 21 and a plurality of fixed flange seats 22. The casing 21 has an inner cavity. The plurality of fixed flange seats 22 are all located on the outer wall of the casing 21. Each fixed flange seat 22 has a detection hole 20a. Each fixed flange seat 22 is detachably connected to an insertion mechanism 30. The plurality of fixed flange seats 22 are arranged around the outer wall of the casing 21 in a polygonal arrangement.

[0091] In this embodiment, a sleeve 22a that matches the shape of the inner cone 1 is installed inside the flange seat 22. Specifically, the sleeve 22a includes an insulating sleeve and a conductive sleeve disposed inside the insulating sleeve. The conductive sleeve is electrically connected to the cable core. The conductive sleeve extends into the housing 21. During the test, the conductive sleeve is in an insulating gas atmosphere to avoid discharge breakdown.

[0092] In this embodiment, the housing 21 of the inner cone detection device is a cylindrical housing, and multiple fixed flange seats 22 are divided into upper and lower rows, with 5 fixed flange seats 22 in each row, arranged in a pentagonal shape. In this way, the space is maximized by adopting a pentagonal placement method, thereby reducing the amount of insulating gas that needs to be introduced into the housing 21. Ten detection holes 20a are opened on the outer wall of the housing 21, which can detect 10 inner cones 1 to be detected at the same time, greatly improving the detection efficiency of the inner cone detection device.

[0093] Optionally, the equipment base 10 includes a main body and five extension strips. One end of each extension strip is connected to the bottom of the main body, and each extension strip has a caster wheel at the end away from the main body. The main body is a pentagonal base, and the five extension strips are arranged one-to-one with the five opposite corners of the main body. In this way, each insertion mechanism 30 of the detection mechanism can be arranged with one extension strip. The extension strips extend from the corresponding position of the main body, making the structure of the main body more robust at each opposite corner. The spacing between each pair of adjacent extension strips ensures that each insertion mechanism 30 does not interfere with each other and facilitates the operation of the operator while standing.

[0094] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The inner cone detection device also includes a quick-release fitting 40, which includes a conductive cylinder 41 and a locking element 42. The conductive cylinder 41 is used to insert into the inner cone 1 to be tested. The locking element 42 is located inside the conductive cylinder 41 and has a locking hole 42a. The locking hole 42a is used to engage with the guide cone at the end of the cable 2. The insertion mechanism 30 drives the cable 2 to be inserted into the inner cone 1 to be tested in the detection hole 20a, so that the guide cone of the cable 2 is connected to the locking element 42.

[0095] In this embodiment, by installing a quick-release fitting 40 on the inner cone 1 to be tested, when the cable 2 is inserted into the inner wall of the inner cone 1 by the insertion mechanism 30, the inner cone 1 to be tested, the cable 2 and the detection element can be electrically connected through the conductive cylinder 41 of the quick-release fitting 40; on the other hand, the locking fastener 42 of the quick-release fitting 40 can achieve a mechanical connection between the inner cone 1 to be tested and the cable 2, thereby ensuring that the cable 2 can be connected to the inner cone 1 to be tested even without manual operation.

[0096] Optionally, both the conductive cylinder 41 and the locking element 42 are made of conductive material to facilitate electrical connection between the inner cone 1 to be tested and the cable 2.

[0097] The conductive cylinder 41 has a hook at the end facing the cable 2. The hook is used to engage with the end of the inner cone 1 to be tested facing the cable 2, thereby improving the tightness of the connection between the quick-release hardware 40 and the inner cone 1 to be tested without external force.

[0098] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The locking element 42 includes a cotter pin 421, two pins 422, two hooks 423, and a locking spring 424. The two ends of the cotter pin 421 are connected to the inner wall of the conductive cylinder 41. One end of each of the two pins 422 is connected to the cotter pin 421, and the other end of each pin 422 is connected to the inner wall of the conductive cylinder 41. Each hook 423 is rotatably connected to a pin 422. The two hooks 423 are spaced apart and form a locking interface, which is used to engage with the guide cone of the cable 2. The two ends of the locking spring 424 are connected to the ends of the two hooks 423 away from the pins 422, and the locking spring 424 is located on the opposite side of the two hooks 423.

[0099] Specifically, when cable 2 is driven into the conductive cylinder 41, the guide cone at the front end of cable 2 is inserted into the locking interface between the two hooks 423. The locking spring 424 drives the two hooks 423 to move closer together and clamp the guide cone of cable 2, thus achieving a detachable connection between cable 2 and quick-release hardware 40. After cable 2 is connected to quick-release hardware 40, when the guide cone of cable 2 is withdrawn, the hooks 423 will firmly lock the guide cone of cable 2. Therefore, when the guide cone of cable 2 is withdrawn, it will pull out the quick-release hardware 40 along with it, thereby achieving quick disconnection between cable 2 and the inner cone 1 to be tested.

[0100] The staff manually presses one end of the two hooks 423 connected to the buckle spring 424, causing the two hooks 423 to compress the buckle spring 424. The ends of the two hooks 423 away from the buckle spring 424 move away from each other, opening the card interface and allowing the cable 2 to be disconnected from the card interface.

[0101] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
