DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Embodiment 1 See also Figure 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solutions: a multifunctional grinding equipment for producing power insulators, comprising a frame 1 and a mounting frame 2, the mounting frame 2 is equipped with a grinding mechanism, the frame 1 is equipped with a feeding mechanism, a control mechanism and a cleaning mechanism, the control mechanism is provided with a flipping mechanism, a water tank 22 is provided on the top of the frame 1, a supporting filter plate 26 is provided on the top of the water tank 22, and a heat dissipation hole 23 is provided on the side wall of the frame 1.

[0020] In the embodiment, the water tank 22 and the supporting filter plate 26 configured on the frame 1 can effectively collect dust dropped during the grinding process of the insulator. By injecting clean water into the water tank 22, the dust will fall into the water tank 22 through the mesh opening of the supporting filter plate 26 and be stored. This design is intended to reduce the dust accumulation on the top of the frame 1.

[0021] The heat dissipation holes 23 provided in the frame 1 can dissipate the heat generated by the operation of the control mechanism, thereby ensuring that the temperature inside the frame 1 is in a normal state and preventing the control mechanism from overheating and affecting the service life of the equipment.

[0022] Embodiment 2 See also Figure 1-6 The mounting frame 2 is located at the top back end of the frame 1. The grinding mechanism on the mounting frame 2 is composed of an electric cylinder 3, a guide rail 4, a support plate 5, a grinding motor 6 and a grinding disc 7. The grinding disc 7 is connected to the output shaft of the grinding motor 6 and the grinding motor 6 is installed on the support plate 5. The support plate 5 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rail 4 and the support plate 5 is connected to the telescopic end of the electric cylinder 3. The electric cylinder 3 is assembled on the top of the mounting frame 2, and the guide rail 4 is assembled on the front end surface of the mounting frame 2.

[0023] In the preferred embodiment: the support plate 5 is connected to the front end surface of the mounting frame 2 by the electric cylinder 3 and the guide rail 4 for lifting and sliding, and the grinding disc 7 is connected to the bottom end of the support plate 5 by the grinding motor 6 for rotation.

[0024] In the embodiment, the working principle of the grinding mechanism is as follows: the working output shaft of the grinding motor 6 drives the grinding disc 7 to rotate, and then the telescopic end of the electric cylinder 3 moves to drive the support plate 5 to move smoothly along the guide rail 4. The application of the guide rail 4 not only enhances the stability of the support plate 5, but also ensures that the normal operation of the grinding motor 6 and the grinding disc 7 is not disturbed, so that the descending grinding disc 7 can be close to the insulator for grinding.

[0025] This design facilitates the lifting and grinding of insulators, and can also cooperate with the feeding mechanism.

[0026] Embodiment 3 See also Figure 1-6 The feeding mechanism on the frame 1 is composed of a fixed block 8, a screw rod 9, a bearing 10, a feeding motor 11, a wire sleeve 12 and a placement table 13. The bearing 10 and the feeding motor 11 are respectively assembled at both ends of the screw rod 9 and the feeding motor 11 is assembled at one end of the fixed block 8. The screw rod 9 is assembled inside the fixed block 8. The wire sleeve 12 is threadedly connected to the surface of the wire sleeve 12, and the placement table 13 is assembled on the top of the wire sleeve 12.

[0027] In the preferred embodiment: the screw rod 9 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed block 8 through the feeding motor 11 and the bearing 10, and the placement table 13 reciprocates on the top of the fixed block 8 through the wire sleeve 12 and the screw rod 9.

[0028] In the embodiment, the working principle of the feeding mechanism is as follows: the working output shaft of the feeding motor 11 drives the screw 9 to rotate in the inner ring of the bearing 10, and then the thread sleeve 12 pushes the placement table 13 to move according to the thread track on the surface of the screw 9. This movement makes the placement table 13 gradually approach the grinding disc 7 and finally placed under the grinding disc 7. When the grinding disc 7 descends during the rotation process, it will grind the insulator fixed on the placement table 13.

[0029] This design makes it easy to send the insulator to the bottom end of the grinding mechanism for grinding.

[0030] Embodiment 4 See also Figure 1-6 The control mechanism on the rack 1 is composed of a programmable PLC controller 14 and a control panel 15. The programmable PLC controller 14 is installed inside the rack 1, and the control panel 15 is installed on the side wall of the rack 1.

[0031] In the preferred embodiment, the programmable PLC controller 14 and the control panel 15 are electrically connected.

[0032] In the embodiment, the working principle of the control mechanism is as follows: the equipment can achieve a high degree of automatic control by using the programmable PLC controller 14, and the model of the programmable PLC controller 14 is: S7-200. Then, by working in conjunction with the control panel 15, the user can easily start the equipment. This design significantly improves the convenience of operation. As an advanced industrial automation device, the programmable PLC controller 14 can accurately control various functions of the equipment, such as starting, stopping, speed adjustment, etc., through preset program instructions, thereby realizing the automation and intelligence of the production process.

[0033] In addition, the control panel 15, as a human-machine interaction interface, is electrically connected to the electrical devices described in the text. The user only needs to input the corresponding instructions or select the corresponding operation mode on the control panel 15, and the electrical signal can be transmitted to the programmable PLC controller 14, and then the programmable PLC controller 14 can accurately control and start the electrical equipment. This design not only simplifies the operation process, but also improves the reliability and stability of the equipment.

[0034] This design realizes a fully automated operation process.

[0035] Embodiment 5 See also Figure 1-6 The flip mechanism is composed of an electric rod 24 and a rotary cylinder 25. The electric rod 24 is assembled on both sides of the placement table 13, and the rotary cylinder 25 is installed at the telescopic end of the electric rod 24.

[0036] In the embodiment, the working principle of the flip mechanism is as follows: through the drive of the electric rod 24, the two rotary cylinders 25 can accurately approach each other to prepare for the clamping of the insulator. Then, the insulator is securely placed on the placement table 13, and the two rotary cylinders 25 use their clamping mechanism to firmly fix the insulator to ensure its stability during the grinding process.

[0037] Next, the insulator is clamped at a certain distance from the top of the notch of the placement table 13. This design ensures smooth grinding and avoids direct contact with the placement table 13. After that, the rotary cylinder 25 plays its core role, driving the insulator to rotate and turn over accurately through its internal rotating mechanism. This action is crucial in the grinding process of the insulator. It realizes the automatic turning operation, thereby significantly reducing the time delay and error caused by manual adjustment.

[0038] This innovative design not only improves the grinding efficiency, but also ensures the stability of the grinding quality. At the same time, the flip mechanism works closely with the feeding mechanism to form an efficient and smooth operation process, providing strong support for the automated grinding of insulators.

[0039] Embodiment 6 See also Figure 1-6 The cleaning mechanism on the frame 1 is composed of a mounting plate 16, a cleaning box 17, a chute 18, a slider 19, a protrusion 20 and a positioning pin 21. The protrusion 20 is connected to the side wall of the cleaning box 17, the positioning pin 21 is connected to the top of the protrusion 20, the slider 19 is connected to the bottom end of the cleaning box 17, the chute 18 is opened at the top of the mounting plate 16, and the mounting plate 16 is installed on the side wall of the frame 1.

[0040] In the preferred embodiment: the slide groove 18 and the slider 19 are adapted to form a "T" shape, the cleaning box 17 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 16 through the slide groove 18 and the slider 19, and the cleaning box 17 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 16 through the protrusion 20 and the positioning pin 21.

[0041] In the embodiment, the working principle of the cleaning mechanism is as follows: According to the above embodiment, after the insulator is polished, the flip mechanism will be safely moved away from the bottom of the polishing mechanism with the help of the feeding mechanism. At the same time, the polishing mechanism needs to rise away from the feeding mechanism to avoid collision. Then, the flip mechanism releases the fixation of the insulator and places it stably in the cleaning box 17. In the cleaning box 17, the polishing dust on the surface of the insulator will be effectively washed away by clean water. In this way, manual inspectors can easily observe the cleaned insulator to confirm whether its surface has any adverse effects due to polishing. This design ensures the accuracy of the polishing operation and the quality of the final product.

[0042] In addition, the positioning pin 21 passes through the protrusion 20 to firmly fix the cleaning box 17 on the mounting plate 16, and the cooperation between the slide groove 18 and the slider 19 further enhances the stability of the assembly of the cleaning box 17. When it is necessary to pour out the clean water in the cleaning box 17, the cleaning box 17 can be easily removed by simply pulling out the positioning pin 21. This design greatly facilitates the maintenance operation after the use of the equipment, making it convenient and quick to pour out the clean water in the cleaning box 17.

[0043] In summary, according to the description of embodiments one to six, the present invention realizes a fully automated operation process by virtue of its advanced control mechanism. Through the close cooperation between the grinding mechanism, the feeding mechanism and the flipping mechanism, not only the total grinding time of the insulator is significantly shortened, but also the overall work efficiency is greatly improved. It is particularly worth mentioning that two sets of grinding mechanisms, feeding mechanisms and flipping mechanisms are innovatively designed on the frame 1 and the mounting frame 2. This layout enables the equipment to alternately perform feeding and grinding operations, effectively avoiding the time loss of waiting for a single insulator to be completely polished before replacing a new insulator in a single operation mode. At the same time, the close cooperation between the two sets of grinding mechanisms, the feeding mechanism and the flipping mechanism can also reflect the versatility of the equipment and facilitate the grinding operation.

[0044] In addition, the setting of the cleaning mechanism is the icing on the cake. It easily removes the grinding dust on the surface of the insulator, which provides great convenience for manual inspection. The inspector can observe the cleaned insulator at a glance and accurately judge whether there are any adverse effects on its surface caused by improper grinding. This series of designs not only optimizes the operation process, but also reflects the excellent performance of the equipment in automation, efficiency and innovation.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
