Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of insulator steel cap manufacturing, and in particular relates to a molding process of a suspension insulator steel cap. Background Art

[0002] The insulator steel cap is an important component of the insulator. The insulator steel cap is used to fix the insulator on the pole tower, crossarm or other equipment of the power system. The insulator steel cap can protect the insulating elements inside the insulator. During the operation of the power system, the insulator needs to withstand various mechanical stresses such as gravity, wind force, tension, etc. of the conductor. It cooperates with the insulating elements to help improve the electric field distribution of the insulator and reduce the local electric field concentration phenomenon.

[0003] At present, for the suspension insulator steel caps with complex, irregular, thin-walled and embedded partitions, the processing technology adopted is blank casting supplemented by mechanical processing. From the perspective of the product's appearance and processability, casting has become the preferred processing solution for this product due to its advantages of good molding, less subsequent machining workload and low cost. However, the casting workpiece inevitably has disadvantages such as unsatisfactory mechanical properties and high defect rate. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to propose a forming process for a suspension insulator steel cap.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following method: a forming process of a suspension insulator steel cap, which comprises the following steps:

[0006] 1) Blank forging: The blank is forged by die forging, and the formed blank is a shell without an embedded partition;

[0007] 2) Embedded partition welding: weld the embedded partition inside the blank;

[0008] 3) Machining and shaping: Use machining to groove the blank to obtain the finished insulator steel cap.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] In the step 1), a head boss is added to the cavity of the blank, and a positioning groove for welding the embedded partition is provided inside the cavity.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] In the step 2), the edge of the embedded partition is inserted into the positioning groove, and the edge of the embedded partition coincides with the edge of the positioning groove.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] In the step 3), the head boss is grooved by machining.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] In the step 3), the insulator steel cap is subjected to surface treatment.

[0017] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] In the present invention, the embedded partition and the cavity do not adopt an integrated design, so that the blank can be processed by forging. After the blank is forged, the embedded partition is welded in the cavity. The inner and outer surface shapes of the blank after forging are as close to the size of the finished part as possible, and some of the shapes can be produced by simple mechanical processing. The forging cost is greatly controlled, the mechanical properties of the product are improved to a great extent, the product quality and service life are guaranteed, and the quality risks caused by the existing process and the high quality costs caused by it are solved.
