[0002] The operating voltage of the electrified railway overhead contact power supply equipment is 27.5Kv high-voltage alternating current at industrial frequency. In some special places, due to spatial location limitations, some of the overhead contact live fittings are not at a safe distance from the grounding body. When invaded by birds, foreign objects and other small animals, it is easy to cause the traction substation circuit breaker to trip, which can cause power outages and affect railway transportation order at the very least, or burn or damage the overhead contact equipment, resulting in an accident failure.

The insulation protection cover 1 is used to wrap the live hardware at the horizontal suspension point. An insulation clamp 2 is connected to the end of the insulation protection cover 1, and the insulation clamp 2 is fixed on the live hardware at the horizontal suspension point.
[0020] The insulating clamp 2 is made of high-performance insulating material, which can be polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, cross-linked polyethylene or rubber, etc. The insulating clamp 2 has a U-shaped structure, and a bolt 3 is passed through the open end of the insulating clamp 2, and a nut 4 is arranged on the bolt 3; the bolt 3 and the nut 4 are made of resin material. A round hole is opened at the end of the bolt 3, and a limiting nail 5 is inserted into the round hole.
[0021] A manufacturing process of a contact network hardware insulation protection set comprises the following steps: 1. Preparation of raw materials and auxiliary materials The raw materials are 0.6mm thick glass cloth and appropriate resin. Auxiliary materials include demoulding wax, different types of sandpaper (such as 40#, 80#, 120#), brushes, scoops, plastic buckets, saw blades, glue, needles, etc.

[0023] 3. Production preparation Check the appearance, shape and size of the mold according to the drawing to ensure that it meets the requirements. Cut the 0.6mm glass cloth according to the material quota and prepare the appropriate amount of material. Clean the mold, apply a release agent (such as polyvinyl alcohol solution), and dry it for later use.
[0024] 4. Manufacturing process (4.1) Material preparation: Confirm the resin and 0.6mm glass cloth to be used; predetermine the material quantity for each product: 1.5kg of resin and 5m² of glass cloth.

During the laying process of the glass cloth, the cut parts and the seams of the cloth are staggered to enhance the strength and durability of the product.
[0028] (4.4) Curing treatment: After the workpiece has been cured in the mold for 12 hours, carefully demold it to avoid damage; the workpiece should be placed stably after demolding to prevent deformation and surface scratches.
[0029] (4.5) Pre-assembly and inspection: Pre-assemble the workpieces on the platform according to the drawing requirements and complete necessary mechanical processing (such as drilling); number the workpieces, check their appearance, bubbles, cracks, etc., and record them.
[0030] (4.6) Trimming and spraying: After pre-assembly, any minor defects are repaired and polished; after a comprehensive inspection, it is sprayed with paint and sent to the finished product warehouse.
[0031] 5. Packaging and transportation The packaging should be securely fixed, using materials such as felt or foam to prevent displacement and wear.
