Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cleaning anti-pollution flashover devices for power transmission lines, and in particular to an insulator cleaning robot which is mainly composed of a spiral brush wheel. Background Art

[0002] Insulators are important equipment in the power system. Regular cleaning can prevent flashover accidents and ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system. Live cleaning technology, as a maintenance solution without power outages, can effectively clean dirt on the surface of insulators and ensure the normal operation of power equipment. At present, the cleaning of insulators is mainly carried out by manual cleaning, which is inefficient, the cleaning effect is not easy to guarantee, and electric shock accidents are prone to occur, resulting in loss of life and property. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an insulator cleaning robot mainly composed of a spiral brush wheel, which can solve the problems of poor effect and low efficiency of manual cleaning of insulators, major safety hazards and risks, and the need to cut off power to users during the cleaning process, which will cause economic losses and adverse social impacts.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0005] An insulator cleaning robot mainly composed of a spiral brush wheel comprises a cleaning robot frame 1, a spiral brush wheel 2 arranged on the cleaning robot frame 1 and a power and control unit 3, wherein there are multiple spiral brush wheels 2; the power and control unit 3 provides power for the movement of the spiral brush wheel 2 of the cleaning robot through electrical energy or chemical energy, and adjusts the speed of the spiral brush wheel 2 by adjusting the speed of the power source; when the cleaning robot is working, the spiral brush wheel 2 generates three actions when rotating, namely, self-rotation, revolution around the radial direction of the insulator, and lifting and lowering around the axial direction of the insulator, and the spiral brush wheel 2 effectively cleans all surfaces of the insulator through radial movement and axial movement around the insulator.

[0006] The cleaning robot frame 1 is composed of a plurality of arc frames, which are connected to each other through hinge points to form a circular hoop structure that can be opened and closed.

[0007] The spiral brush wheel 2 includes a brush wheel roller 4, a spiral brush 5 installed on the brush wheel roller 4, and the bristles of the spiral brush 5 are distributed in a spiral shape along the outer surface of the brush wheel roller 4; the spiral arrangement of the bristles of the spiral brush 5 on the surface of the brush wheel roller 4 enables the cleaning robot to climb along the insulator 6.

[0008] When the cleaning robot is working, the spiral brush wheel 2 generates three actions when it rotates, namely, self-rotation, revolution around the radial direction of the insulator, and lifting and lowering around the axial direction of the insulator. Specifically, after the cleaning robot embraces the insulator 6, it rotates the spiral brush wheel 2 to start cleaning. When the spiral brush wheel 2 rotates, since multiple spiral brush wheels in the annular direction rotate at the same time, the cleaning robot frame 1 is subjected to the action of a reverse force couple, and several spiral brush wheels 2 of the cleaning robot will rotate in a circle around the axis of the insulator, forming a revolution around the radial direction of the insulator. , thereby completing the cleaning of the circumferential surface; at the same time, when the spiral brush wheel 2 rotates, the spiral brush 5 moves the surface of the insulator, and the spiral brush wheel 2 will revolve around the insulator; due to the spiral arrangement of the spiral brush 5 and the effect of the bevel teeth on the surface of the insulator 6, when the spiral brush wheel 2 rotates, it will also generate a climbing force along the axial direction of the insulator, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the cleaning robot around the axial direction of the insulator; through radial movement and axial movement around the insulator, the spiral brush wheel 2 effectively cleans all surfaces of the insulator.

[0009] The spiral brush 5 is detachable, and different types of spiral brushes can be replaced to meet the cleaning requirements of different insulators.

[0010] The power and control unit 3 provides power for the movement of the spiral brush wheel 2 of the cleaning robot through electrical energy or chemical energy, and adjusts the speed of the spiral brush wheel 2 by adjusting the speed of the power source. Specifically, electrical energy is driven by an electric motor, and chemical energy is driven by an engine. Both driving modes transmit the output torque of the motor or engine to the spiral brush wheel 2 through direct connection or through a coupling, pulley, chain or gear to rotate the output torque; the corresponding power control part, if driven by an electric motor, the cleaning robot itself has a battery to power it, and the speed of the motor is controlled by the size of the power supply energy, thereby realizing the control of the speed of the spiral brush wheel 2; if driven by an engine, it is necessary to match the fuel suitable for the engine, that is, chemical energy drive, and the speed of the engine is controlled by adjusting the size of the engine throttle, thereby realizing the control of the speed of the spiral brush wheel 2.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0012] The cleaning robot of the present invention can rotate the spiral brush wheel to meet the three functional actions of the robot: cleaning, rotating and climbing, so that the robot has the outstanding advantages of compact structure, high functional integration and light weight.

[0013] During the cleaning process, personnel can use remote wireless control to achieve automated operations, ensuring cleaning effectiveness and efficiency; there is no need to cut off power to the corresponding insulators, avoiding economic losses and social impacts caused by power outages.

[0014] The cleaning robot of the present invention can realize automatic cleaning of insulators, reduce the work intensity and accident risks of power grid maintenance personnel, and improve the complete reliability of power grid insulator maintenance operations. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the insulator cleaning robot mainly composed of a spiral brush wheel of the present invention comprises a cleaning robot frame 1, a spiral brush wheel 2 and a power and control unit 3 arranged on the cleaning robot frame 1, and there are multiple spiral brush wheels 2. The cleaning robot frame 1 is composed of multiple arc frames, which are connected to each other through hinge points to form a circular hoop structure that can be opened and closed. The cleaning robot frame 1 is the basic carrier of the cleaning robot, and other mechanisms are assembled on the cleaning robot frame 1.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the spiral brush wheel 2 includes a brush wheel roller 4, a spiral brush 5 installed on the brush wheel roller 4, and the bristles of the spiral brush 5 are distributed in a spiral shape along the outer surface of the columnar brush wheel roller 4. A plurality of spiral brush wheels 2 are arranged circumferentially on the frame of a single cleaning robot; the spiral brush 5 is driven to move along the circumference of the insulator by the movement of the brush wheel roller 4 to clean the insulator, and the bristles of the spiral brush 5 are arranged in a spiral or tilted at a certain angle on the surface of the brush wheel roller 4 to enable the robot to climb (rise or fall) along the insulator. The spiral brush 5 is detachable, and the cleaning requirements of different insulators can be met by replacing different types of spiral brushes.

[0023] Power and control unit 3: Provide power for the movement of the spiral brush wheel 2 of the robot through electrical energy or chemical energy, and equip with a mature controller to achieve adjustment and control of the working state of the spiral brush wheel 2.

[0024] The power and control unit 3 described in the present invention provides power through electric energy and chemical energy. Electric energy is mainly driven by an electric motor, and chemical energy is mainly driven by an engine. Both driving modes can transmit the output torque of the electric motor or engine to the spiral brush wheel 2 through direct connection or through a coupling, a pulley, a chain or a gear and other transmission modes to make it rotate. For the corresponding power control part, if the electric motor is driven, the cleaning robot itself can be equipped with a battery to power it. The motor speed can be controlled by the size of the power supply energy, thereby realizing the control of the speed of the spiral brush wheel 2. If the engine is driven, it is necessary to match the fuel suitable for the engine, that is, the chemical energy drive. By adjusting the size of the engine throttle, the engine speed can be controlled, thereby realizing the control of the speed of the spiral brush wheel 2. Regardless of whether the electric motor drive or the engine drive is adopted, as long as the power can be transmitted to the brush wheel to make it rotate, the cleaning robot can start working. The adjustment and control of the working state of the cleaning robot can be realized by adjusting the speed of the power source.

[0025] Insulator 6 Figure 3 As shown, it is the main object of the present invention to achieve the cleaning function, which includes various forms, such as cylindrical, frustum, etc., the bevel tooth form is not limited, and the material type is not limited.

[0026] After the robot described in the present invention embraces the insulator 6, the positional relationship between the brush wheel roller 4 and the insulator 6 includes the working state of the insulator cleaning robot, the working principle 1 of the insulator cleaning robot - semi-open holding of the insulator, and the working principle 2 of the insulator cleaning robot - three actions (rotation, revolution, and lifting) are generated when the spiral brush wheel rotates.

[0027] In the work process, Figure 4 As shown, the working principle of the insulator cleaning robot 1-half-open holding the insulator, first open the cleaning robot frame 1, hug the insulator, and then snap and lock the cleaning robot frame 1. After the cleaning robot hugs the insulator and snaps it, it can rotate the spiral brush wheel 2 to start cleaning.

[0028] like Figure 5As shown, the working principle of the insulator cleaning robot 2-the three actions (rotation, revolution, and lifting) are generated when the spiral brush wheel 2 rotates. Since multiple spiral brush wheels rotate simultaneously in the annular direction, the cleaning robot frame 1 is subjected to the reverse force couple, and several spiral brush wheels 2 of the robot will rotate in a circle around the axis of the insulator to form a revolution, thereby completing the cleaning of the circumferential surface; at the same time, when the spiral brush wheel 2 rotates, the spiral brush 5 moves the surface of the insulator, and the spiral brush wheel 2 will revolve around the insulator. In addition, due to the spiral arrangement of the spiral brush 5 and the effect of the bevel teeth on the surface of the insulator 6, when the spiral brush wheel 2 rotates, it will also generate a climbing force along the axial direction of the insulator, thereby realizing the axial movement of the robot, that is, lifting. By moving radially and axially around the insulator, the spiral brush wheel 2 can effectively clean all surfaces of the insulator, including dirt in the groove of the bevel teeth. This is the working principle and working characteristics of the insulator cleaning robot of the present invention.

[0029] When using the robot of the present invention, according to the specific insulator model, corresponding parts are prepared, including a cleaning robot frame 1, a spiral brush wheel 2, and a power and control unit 3;

[0030] according to Figure 1 , 2 The assembly of the robot is completed as shown in , 3, 4, and 5, and cleaning and climbing are achieved by rotating the brush wheel roller 4.

[0031] After assembly is completed, the robot can be debugged and put into use.

[0032] The robot of the present invention ensures cleaning effect, efficiency and safety while also avoiding economic losses and social impacts caused by power outages.
