Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power material recycling technology, specifically to a composite insulator recycling device and its working method. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Insulators are commonly used components in power systems. With the operation of power systems, a large number of insulators that no longer meet the requirements are removed. Among them, the polymer materials, glass fibers, and metal components in composite insulators can be recycled and reused. However, most existing insulator recycling devices rely on manual dismantling, resulting in low recycling efficiency. Some materials in composite insulators may cause harm to the human body during dismantling and recycling. Some automatic or semi-automatic dismantling devices often do not take into account the structural characteristics of composite insulators, resulting in unsatisfactory recycling effects. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problems mentioned above, this invention provides a composite insulator recycling device and its operating method. Taking into account the structural characteristics of composite insulators, the device utilizes an insulator fixing mechanism to receive insulators from the feeding conveyor line. Under the action of a cutting robot, the device first cuts the shed portion of the composite insulator to separate the rubber shed portion. Then, it cuts the fiberglass rod and metal head portion of the composite insulator, thereby obtaining recyclable fiberglass and metal materials.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A first aspect of the present invention provides a composite insulator recycling device, comprising:

[0007] The feeding conveyor line is used to transport insulators to be recycled;

[0008] The insulator fixing mechanism receives insulators from the feeding conveyor line and, in cooperation with the feeding and handling mechanism, fixes the insulators to be recycled.

[0009] The cutting robot, using a cutting tool carried at its end, cuts and separates the shed part of the insulator along the axial direction of the insulator to be recycled, with the cooperation of the insulator fixing mechanism, and then cuts and separates the fiberglass rod and metal head in the insulator after the shed is separated.

[0010] The sorting and conveying line uses sorting robots to sort the separated umbrella skirts, fiberglass rods, and metal heads into the corresponding recycling containers.

[0011] Furthermore, the feeding conveyor line has a drive unit and a belt, on which a bracket is provided for mounting the metal heads of insulators.

[0012] Furthermore, during the transport of insulators on the feeding conveyor line, the transported insulators are kept in a vertical position.

[0013] Furthermore, the feeding and conveying mechanism has grippers that can feed horizontally, rise and fall vertically, and rotate horizontally. The grippers hold and fix the insulators in the feeding conveyor line, and after rotating through a set angle, they are transferred to the insulator fixing mechanism to realize feeding.

[0014] Furthermore, the material handling mechanism includes grippers, which are connected to an air inlet cylinder to achieve horizontal feeding motion. The fixed end of the air inlet cylinder is connected to the moving end of the rotary table via an adapter plate. The rotary table is connected to a rotary power module, and the rotary power module is connected to the moving end of a lifting cylinder.

[0015] Furthermore, the direction of insulator transport on the feeding conveyor line, the feeding and handling mechanism, and the insulator fixing mechanism are all on the same axis.

[0016] Furthermore, the insulator fixing mechanism has a fixed clamping mechanism and a lifting clamping mechanism that moves along a vertical guide rail. The fixed clamping mechanism is driven by a rotary motor, and the insulator to be recycled is fixed between the fixed clamping mechanism and the lifting clamping mechanism.

[0017] Furthermore, the insulator fixing mechanism includes a frame, a vertical guide rail on the frame, a lifting motor and a rotary motor arranged in parallel at the top of the vertical guide rail, the output shaft of the rotary motor being connected to a fixed clamping mechanism, a lifting clamping mechanism being movably connected on the vertical guide rail, and an auxiliary clamping mechanism being provided between the fixed clamping mechanism and the lifting clamping mechanism.

[0018] Furthermore, the sorting conveyor line has a belt driven by a drive unit, a cleaning device, and a picking robot. During operation, the belt is driven by the drive unit to transport the dismantled waste material out, the cleaning device is located on both sides of the belt, and the picking robot is used to sort and recycle the dismantled material.

[0019] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for operating the above-described apparatus, comprising the following steps:

[0020] The feeding conveyor transports the insulators to be recycled in a vertical position. The feeding and handling mechanism clamps the insulators from the feeding conveyor and transfers them to the insulator fixing mechanism by rotating them at a set angle, thus completing the feeding process.

[0021] The insulator fixing mechanism clamps and fixes the insulator and drives the insulator to rotate. The cutting robot arm drives the cutting fixture to move along the axis of the insulator, separating the shed from the insulator and exposing the core rod.

[0022] The insulator fixing mechanism stops driving the insulator to rotate, and the cutting robot arm drives the cutting fixture to cut along the diameter of the insulator, separating the glass fiber part and the metal part in the core rod;

[0023] The insulator fixing mechanism loosens the insulator, and the disassembled materials are sorted and recycled using a sorting conveyor line.

[0024] Compared with existing technologies, one or more of the above technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. Taking into account the structural characteristics of composite insulators, an insulator fixing mechanism is used to receive insulators from the feeding conveyor line. Under the action of a cutting robot, the shed part of the composite insulator is first cut to separate the rubber shed part and expose the core rod. Then, the fiberglass rod and metal head part of the core rod of the composite insulator are cut to obtain recyclable rubber material, fiberglass material and metal material.

[0026] 2. The direction of the insulator transport on the feeding conveyor line, the feeding and handling mechanism, and the insulator fixing mechanism are all on the same straight line. The feeding and handling mechanism connects the actions between the feeding conveyor line and the insulator fixing mechanism. During the transfer of insulators, it is only necessary to determine the clamping position of the gripper on the insulator according to the length and diameter of different insulators, and then control the lifting and feeding strokes of the gripper. This can reduce the amount of control required by the device to a certain extent and make the structure simpler.

[0027] 3. During the feeding process, since the top of the insulator is first clamped and fixed by the fixed clamping mechanism, the insulator is in a vertical state. This means that the lifting clamping mechanism at the bottom of the clamp no longer needs to be positioned in the horizontal direction. The clamping action can be performed simply by adjusting the height.

[0028] 4. When the insulator is too long and the clamping may be unstable, use an auxiliary clamping mechanism between the fixed clamping mechanism and the lifting clamping mechanism for auxiliary clamping and fixing.

[0029] 5. Because robotic arm cutting systems are generally highly adaptable, they can be adjusted according to different composite insulator designs and size requirements to meet different production needs, reduce manual labor consumption, and improve production efficiency. By optimizing the cutting path and layout, the robot can more effectively cut off the insulator skirt completely, reducing the residue of recyclable materials. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0043] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further illustration of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0044] The following embodiments provide a composite insulator recycling device and its working method. Taking into account the structural characteristics of composite insulators, the device uses an insulator fixing mechanism to receive insulators from the feeding conveyor line. Under the action of a cutting robot, the shed part of the composite insulator is first cut to separate the rubber shed part and expose the core rod. Then, the fiberglass rod and metal head part of the core rod of the composite insulator are cut to obtain recyclable rubber material, fiberglass material and metal material.

[0045] Example 1:

[0046] Composite insulator recycling device, including:

[0047] Feeding conveyor line 1 is used to transport insulators to be recycled;

[0048] The insulator fixing mechanism 5 receives insulators from the feeding conveyor line 1 and, driven by the feeding and handling mechanism 2, fixes the insulators to be recycled in the insulator fixing mechanism 5.

[0049] The cutting robot 3, with the cutting fixture 4 carried at its end and in cooperation with the insulator fixing mechanism 5, cuts and separates the shed part along the axial direction of the insulator to be recycled, and cuts and separates the glass fiber rod and metal head in the insulator after the shed is separated.

[0050] Sorting conveyor line 6 uses a sorting robot to sort the separated umbrella skirts, fiberglass rods and metal heads into the corresponding recycling containers.

[0051] It also has a protective cover 7, which covers the feeding and handling mechanism 2, the cutting robot 3, the cutting fixture 4, the insulator fixing mechanism 5, as well as part of the feeding and handling mechanism 2 and the sorting and conveying line 6, to prevent dust from polluting the external environment during recycling.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the feeding conveyor line 1 has a drive unit and a belt. The belt is equipped with a hanger for mounting the metal part of the insulator. During operation, the metal part of one end of the insulator is manually hung in the hanger on the belt. The insulator remains vertically downward throughout the conveying process. After reaching the end of the conveyor line, the feeding and handling mechanism 2 clamps the insulator from the feeding conveyor line 1 and transfers it to the insulator fixing mechanism 5, completing the automatic feeding.

[0053] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the material handling mechanism 2 includes a gripper 21 that feeds in the horizontal direction. The gripper 21 is connected to a feed cylinder 22 to realize the horizontal feeding movement. The fixed end of the feed cylinder 22 is connected to the moving end of the rotary table 23 through an adapter plate. The rotary table 23 is connected to the rotary power module 24, and the rotary power module 24 is connected to the moving end of the lifting cylinder 25.

[0054] In this embodiment, the gripper 21 and the air inlet cylinder 22 are located at the top of the loading and conveying mechanism 2. They are for insulators that are vertically suspended in the loading and conveying line 1. The fixed end of the air inlet cylinder 22 is connected to the upper surface of the adapter plate, and the lower surface of the adapter plate is connected to the moving end of the rotary table 23.

[0055] In this embodiment, the rotary table 23 includes an actuating end located in the upper half and a fixed end located in the lower half. The fixed end is connected to the housing of the rotary power module 24. The rotary power module 24 drives the actuating end of the rotary table 23 to generate rotational motion. The specific structure of the rotary power module 24 is not limited and can be any one of electric drive, hydraulic drive or pneumatic drive.

[0056] In this embodiment, the fixed end of the rotary table 23, together with the outer shell of the rotary power module 24, is connected to the actuating end of the lifting cylinder 25, and the fixed end of the lifting cylinder 25 is fixed by a bracket.

[0057] The gripper 21 in the feeding and conveying mechanism 2 is driven by the feeding cylinder 22, the rotary table 23, and the lifting cylinder 25, realizing horizontal feeding motion, horizontal rotational motion, vertical lifting motion, and its own clamping action. The gripper 21 picks up the insulator from the end of the feeding conveyor line 1 and removes the insulator from the hanger. It is then rotated by the rotary table 23 through a set angle to reach the position of the insulator fixing mechanism 5. Using the coordination of the feeding and lifting motions, the insulator is transferred to the insulator fixing mechanism 5 for clamping and fixing. After that, the gripper releases and resets. During the transfer, the feeding and lifting motions are used to handle insulators of different diameters and lengths.

[0058] In this embodiment, the direction of the insulator transported by the feeding conveyor 1, the feeding and handling mechanism 2, and the insulator fixing mechanism 5 are all on the same straight line. The feeding and handling mechanism 2 connects the actions between the feeding conveyor 1 and the insulator fixing mechanism 5. Thus, the insulator can be transferred from the feeding conveyor 1 to the insulator fixing mechanism 5 by rotating the rotary table 23 by 180°. Since the three are already on the same straight line, during the transfer, it is only necessary to determine the clamping position of the gripper 21 on the insulator according to the length and diameter of different insulators, and then control the lifting and feeding stroke of the gripper 21. That is, it is possible to control the extension and retraction of the feeding cylinder 22 and the lifting cylinder 25, which can reduce the amount of control required by the device to a certain extent.

[0059] like Figure 5As shown, the insulator fixing mechanism 5 includes a frame 51, a vertical guide rail on the frame 51, a lifting motor 52 and a rotary motor 53 arranged in parallel at the top of the vertical guide rail, the output shaft of the rotary motor 53 is connected to a fixed clamping mechanism 54, a lifting clamping mechanism 56 is movably connected on the vertical guide rail, an auxiliary clamping mechanism 55 is provided between the fixed clamping mechanism 54 and the lifting clamping mechanism 56, and a protective net 57 is provided on the side of the frame 51 with the vertical guide rail.

[0060] The fixed clamping mechanism 54 is used to clamp the top end of the fixed insulator, and the lifting clamping mechanism 56 is used to clamp the bottom end of the fixed insulator. Since the length of the insulator is different, the lifting clamping mechanism 56 is movably connected to the vertical guide rail and can move along the vertical guide rail under the drive of the lifting motor 52, thereby changing the distance between the fixed clamping mechanism 54 and the lifting clamping mechanism 56 to cope with insulators of different lengths. When the length of the insulator is too long and the clamping may be unstable, the auxiliary clamping mechanism 55 located in the middle of the two can be used for auxiliary clamping and fixing.

[0061] The clamping heads in the auxiliary clamping mechanism 55 and the lifting clamping mechanism 56 can rotate around the vertical axis, so that when the fixed clamping mechanism 54 and the insulator are driven by the rotary motor 53 to generate rotational motion, the clamping heads in the auxiliary clamping mechanism 55 and the lifting clamping mechanism 56 can rotate together with the insulator, which is beneficial to the disassembly operation of the cutting robot 3.

[0062] The gripper 21 in the loading and conveying mechanism 2 picks up the insulator from the loading conveyor line 1. Through the coordination of rotational and lifting movements, the insulator is transferred to the area below the fixed clamping mechanism 54. The lifting cylinder 25 then places the metal head of the insulator into the clamping head of the fixed clamping mechanism 54. The clamping head firmly clamps the top of the insulator, while the bottom of the insulator is fixed by the clamping head of the lifting clamping mechanism 56. The gripper 21 in the loading and conveying mechanism 2 then releases and resets, completing the loading process. During loading, because the top of the insulator is first clamped and fixed by the fixed clamping mechanism 54, the insulator is in a vertical position. This eliminates the need for horizontal positioning of the lifting clamping mechanism 56 at the bottom of the gripper; simply adjusting the height is sufficient to perform the clamping action.

[0063] In this embodiment, the clamping heads in the fixed clamping mechanism 54, the auxiliary clamping mechanism 55, and the lifting clamping mechanism 56 are not limited to specific structures. They can be any structure such as pneumatic grippers or pneumatic chucks, as long as they can clamp and fix the metal head parts at both ends of the insulator.

[0064] The cutting robot 3 employs a six-axis robotic arm, with a cutting fixture 4 at its end. The cutting fixture 4 has a cutting saw blade that rotates at high speed driven by a motor. The specific structure of the cutting fixture 4 is not limited; it can be, for example... Figure 6 The structure shown.

[0065] During operation, the cutting fixture 4 is started, and the cutting robot 3 drives the cutting fixture 4 to move along the axis of the insulator. With the rotation of the rotary motor 53, the rubber shed of the insulator is gradually cut off. After the rubber shed is cut, the cutting fixture reaches the junction of the metal and the fiberglass rod of the insulator and moves along the diameter of the insulator to cut the fiberglass rod, so that the metal head is separated from the fiberglass.

[0066] In this embodiment, the cutting fixture 4 is equipped with a metal detector. As the cutting robot 3 cuts the insulator skirt, the cutting fixture 4 gradually scans across the insulator. When a trigger signal is detected, it is considered that the junction of the fiberglass rod and the metal head has been reached. During the skirt cutting process, the cutting fixture 4 may move back and forth several times along the insulator axis. By determining the timing of the trigger signal, the junction of the fiberglass rod and the metal head is further identified, thereby controlling the cutting robot 3 to move the cutting fixture 4 to that position to separate the fiberglass rod and the metal head. The length of the glass limiting rod and the position of its junction with the metal head can also be determined based on pre-inputted insulator specifications and dimensions, reducing material residue after disassembly.

[0067] A protective net 57 is installed between the cutting robotic arm 3 and the insulator fixing mechanism 5. During the cutting process, the protective net 57 rises to isolate the cutting robotic arm 3, ensuring the safety of manual operation. The cutting fixture is equipped with a safety guard. During cutting, the saw blade is surrounded by the safety guard, while the unprotected portion faces inwards, preventing material from splashing towards the operating side. The cutting robotic arm 3 is equipped with a load sensor. In the event of an accidental collision or cutting abnormality, the equipment can automatically stop and trigger an alarm, ensuring equipment safety.

[0068] like Figure 7 As shown, sorting conveyor line 6 is located at the bottom of the device and includes a belt driven by a drive unit, a cleaning device, and a picking robot. During operation, the belt is driven by the drive unit to transport the disassembled waste material to the outside of the recycling device; the cleaning device is located on both sides of the conveyor line to prevent waste material from falling under the equipment or into the gaps between the equipment; a portion of the conveyor line extends out of the device, where the picking robot, guided by vision, sorts the disassembled materials and places them into different recycling bins, while the remaining materials fall into the recycling bins along with the conveyor line. Because the composite insulator is first disassembled into the rubber shed part, and then the metal head and fiberglass rod are separated, the waste material on the belt will be piled up sequentially, that is, the cut rubber shed is transported out first, followed by the fiberglass rod and the metal head, making it easier for the picking robot to sort out the recyclable materials.

[0069] In the aforementioned devices, the robotic arm cutting system is generally highly adaptable and can be adjusted according to different composite insulator designs and size requirements to meet different production needs.

[0070] It reduces labor consumption, improves production efficiency, allows for uninterrupted operation, significantly increases production efficiency and output, and reduces labor costs.

[0071] High safety: Robotic cutting reduces workers' direct contact with cutting tools and materials during operation, lowering the risk of workplace injuries and improving the safety of the working environment.

[0072] High cutting integrity: By optimizing the cutting path and layout, the robot can more effectively cut off the insulator skirt completely, reducing residue.

[0073] Example 2:

[0074] like Figure 6 As shown, the working method of the composite insulator recycling device includes the following steps:

[0075] Automatic feeding and clamping of composite insulators;

[0076] A-line skirt cutting;

[0077] Core rod cutting;

[0078] Automated sorting;

[0079] Temporarily stored in the warehouse.

[0080] Automatic feeding and clamping of composite insulators: Workers suspend the metal connectors of the composite insulators in the racks of the feeding conveyor line. The composite insulators move into the clamping station with the feeding conveyor line. The pneumatic chucks at the clamping station automatically fix the metal connectors at both ends of the composite insulators and begin the skirt cutting.

[0081] Umbrella skirt cutting: The diameter and length of the composite insulator core shaft are inspected, and then a robotic arm is guided along the length of the composite insulator to cut and peel off the umbrella skirt. Silicone rubber falls onto the unloading conveyor line and is fed into the recycling bin along the conveyor line.

[0082] Core rod cutting: Determine the location of the connection between the fiberglass and metal, guide the robotic arm to move radially along the composite insulator, and cut off the metal connection at the junction with the fiberglass core rod. The fiberglass core rod falls onto the feeding conveyor line and is fed into the recycling bin along the conveyor line;

[0083] Automatic sorting: After the core rod is cut, the pneumatic chuck opens automatically, and the metal connectors at both ends fall off automatically and fall onto the conveyor line below. They are sent out of the dismantling equipment along the conveyor line. Under visual guidance, the picking robot at the rear automatically detects the position and posture of the core rod and the metal connectors. After picking out the core rod and the metal connectors respectively using special clamps, they are placed into different recycling bins.

[0084] Temporary storage: The recycling bins first arrive at the automatic weighing station along the conveyor line, where they are scanned, weighed, and photographed. Then, they arrive at the stacker crane docking station along the conveyor line, where the stacker crane stores the sorted materials in the warehouse.

[0085] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
