Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of device deicing, in particular to a suspended abrasive modified water jet device and method for device deicing. BACKGROUND

[0002] When power equipment is exposed to the natural environment for a long time, under suitable temperature and humidity conditions, rain, rime and mixed rime may form on the surface of the equipment, which has a significant impact on the electrical insulation and mechanical support performance of the equipment. For example, severe icing may cause ice to bridge, change the electric field distribution of the external insulation, and thus reduce the electrical strength of the insulation components of the power equipment. When the weight of the ice exceeds the rated carrying capacity of the equipment, it may also cause structural fracture and other problems, thereby affecting the safe and stable operation of the power system. Existing deicing methods for insulator sheds, fan blades and the like mainly use mechanical deicing, natural passive deicing and laser deicing, but these methods have problems such as low deicing efficiency and high cost. Water jet deicing is a long-distance non-contact deicing method, but the present inventors have found through research that pure water jet is prone to diffusion under long-distance non-contact conditions, and the striking force is low. During the process of breaking ice, the severely atomized pure water jet is prone to form secondary icing at other positions. After breaking the ice, the water droplets remaining on the surface of the equipment are prone to quickly re-ice in a low-temperature environment. SUMMARY

[0013] Further, the method further comprises adding the on-site collected crushed ice through the ice particle feeding hopper on the jet pump, starting the rotary ice breaker in the ice particle feeding hopper to crush the crushed ice into 15-25 mesh ice particles, then sucking the crushed ice into the jet pump through the negative pressure of the jet pump, mixing the crushed ice with the fluid in the second high-pressure rubber pipe in the jet pump, forming a pre-mixed ice particle abrasive jet, and then passing through the jet nozzle to wash and break the device icing.

[0014] Further, the step S3 further comprises stretching the nozzle shell by rotating along the nozzle liner, so that a cavity is formed between the nozzle shell and the nozzle liner, and the jet nozzle is changed from a conical converging nozzle to a self-excited oscillation pulse jet nozzle, and the high-speed oscillation of the water jet of the nozzle can quickly generate cracks in the device icing.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, the present application provides a kind of for equipment deicing suspended abrasive modified water jet device, including water tank 1, mechanical rotary agitator 2 is provided in the water tank 1, modifier feed hopper 3, abrasive feed hopper 4 and water source inlet 5 are equipped on the water tank 1, the water tank 1 is connected with booster device 7 by first high-pressure rubber tube 6, the booster device 7 is connected with jet pump 9 by second high-pressure rubber tube 8, the jet pump 9 is connected with jet nozzle 11 by third high-pressure rubber tube 10, the jet nozzle 11 is fixed on nozzle support 12. Wherein, the modifier feed hopper 3 is used to add modifier, the abrasive feed hopper 4 is used to add abrasive, the water source inlet 5 is used to add water, the mechanical rotary agitator 2 is used to fully stir the water added with modifier and abrasive, to form suspended abrasive slurry, then after pressurization by the booster device 7, the jet pump 9 is accelerated by the jet nozzle 11 to form jet 13 and impact equipment icing 14 such as insulator icing.

[0024] As a specific embodiment, the modifier feeding hopper 3 is a polyacrylamide feeding hopper, i.e. the modifier feeding hopper 3 is used for adding polyacrylamide (PAM) as the modifier, the abrasive feeding hopper 4 is a walnut shell feeding hopper, and the abrasive feeding hopper 4 is used for adding walnut shell as the abrasive. After the polyacrylamide and the walnut shell are fully mixed with the added water by the mechanical rotary stirrer 2, a suspended abrasive slurry is formed. The suspended abrasive slurry can be used by pre-mixing or on-site mixing according to the construction condition.

[0025] As a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the jet pump 9 is fixedly connected with an ice particle feeding hopper 15, and the ice particle feeding hopper 15 is provided with a rotary ice breaker 16. The ice particle feeding hopper 15 and the rotary ice breaker 16 jointly constitute an ice particle adding device. When the jet flow device runs for a long time and the abrasive is used up, the broken ice can be collected in the ice particle feeding hopper 15, the rotary ice breaker 16 is started to break the broken ice into fine ice particles with a size of about 20 mesh, the fine ice particles are sucked into the jet pump 9 by negative pressure, and are mixed with the fluid in the second high-pressure rubber pipe 8 in the jet pump 9 to form a pre-mixed ice particle abrasive jet flow to flush and break the ice on the equipment.

[0026] As a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the jet nozzle 11 comprises a nozzle shell 111 and a nozzle liner 112.

The protrusion 113 can be a square protrusion or the like. The nozzle shell 111 is provided with an L-shaped clamping groove 114 corresponding to the protrusion 113.

The nozzle shell 111 and the nozzle liner 112 form a cavity in the middle. The jet nozzle 11 changes from a conventional conical converging nozzle to a self-excited oscillation pulse jet nozzle. The high-speed oscillation of the water jet of the nozzle causes the ice on the equipment to quickly crack. The broken ice is carried by the jet to slide to the ground.

After the jet impact ice body, the viscoelasticity of the suspension abrasive slurry under low shear force is enhanced, and the slurry carrying broken ice slides from the surface of the device to the ground, which will not form liquid drops to cause secondary icing.

[0031] As a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 When the jet device is running for a long time and the abrasive is used up, the method further comprises adding the broken ice collected on site through the ice particle feeding hopper 15 on the jet pump 9, starting the rotating ice breaking device 16 in the ice particle feeding hopper 15 to break the broken ice into 15-25 mesh ice particles, then sucking in through the negative pressure of the jet pump 9, mixing with the fluid in the second high-pressure rubber pipe 8 in the jet pump 9, forming a pre-mixed ice particle abrasive jet, and then passing through the jet nozzle 11 to wash and break the device icing.

[0032] As a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 And Figure 3 When the jet distance is far or the device icing is thick and the washing time is long, the nozzle shell 111 is stretched in the jet direction by rotating to the right along the nozzle inner shell 112 (at this time, the protrusion 113 moves from the short slot of the L-shaped slot 114 to the long slot of the L-shaped slot 114), so that a cavity is formed between the nozzle shell 111 and the nozzle inner shell 112, and the jet nozzle 11 changes from a conventional conical convergent nozzle to a self-excited oscillation pulse jet nozzle. The high-speed oscillation of the water jet of the nozzle makes the device icing quickly crack, improving the working efficiency of the water jet.
