Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of insulators, and in particular to an insulator cleaning device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Insulators are crucial components of power systems. Their primary function is to support and insulate conductors, ensuring the safe transmission of current. However, over time, contamination accumulates on the surface of insulators, which can lead to a range of problems that can affect the stability and safety of power systems.

[0003] Insulators are exposed to outdoor environments and are susceptible to absorbing airborne contaminants such as dust, salt, and other chemicals. These contaminants absorb moisture in humid weather, forming a conductive layer that degrades the insulator's insulation performance. When voltage exceeds a certain threshold, flashover can occur on the insulator surface—discharge across the air gap between the insulator and the insulator. This flashover can not only cause line tripping and power outages but can also trigger larger grid incidents, resulting in widespread power outages and losses.

[0004] In the prior art, in order to avoid manual cleaning of insulators on a regular basis, a cleaning method is to use a nozzle to flush a cleaning agent onto the surface of the insulator. Although this method can clean the insulator, it is inevitable that it still has shortcomings during actual use. Among them, manual control is easily affected by the metal frame of the on-site power auxiliary equipment, which is inconvenient to clean the insulator in all directions. In addition, manual continuous lifting of the nozzle will also increase the labor load. Therefore, an insulator cleaning device and a method of use thereof are proposed to solve the existing problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides an insulator cleaning device and a method for using the same, which solves the problem of manual cleaning, high labor load, and the nozzle being easily blocked by the mounting frame, resulting in an excessively long nozzle, making it inconvenient to clean the insulator in all directions.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: an insulator cleaning device, including a water tank and a tooth edge rotating cover, the tooth edge rotating cover is rotatably arranged on the top of the water tank through a sealed bearing, a plurality of ear plates are fixedly connected at equal intervals around the surface of the water tank, a cleaning mechanism is provided on the top of the tooth edge rotating cover, a flexible shielding mechanism used in conjunction with the cleaning mechanism is provided on the top of the tooth edge rotating cover, and a self-cleaning mechanism is provided on the top of the water tank.

[0007] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes a spray pipe, which is connected to the top of the toothed rotating cover, and two spray pipes are symmetrically arranged, and the surface of the spray pipe is connected to a number of nozzles, and both sides of the top of the toothed rotating cover are fixedly connected to a slide frame, and the interior of the slide frame is slidably connected to a sliding block, and the top of the sliding block is fixedly connected to a circular plate, and the top of the circular plate is rotatably provided with a mounting shaft, and a brush cover is installed on the surface of the mounting shaft, and the front side of the water tank is fixedly connected to a drive motor through a bracket, and the output shaft of the drive motor is installed with a first gear that meshes with the toothed rotating cover.

[0008] Preferably, the flexible shielding mechanism includes a shielding tube, which is rotatably arranged on the top of the toothed rotating cover, and two shielding tubes are symmetrically arranged, the surface of the shielding tube is fixedly connected to the second gear, the surface of the sliding block is fixedly connected to the tooth plate meshing with the second gear, and the surface of the slide frame is provided with a movable groove for use with the tooth plate.

[0009] Preferably, the self-cleaning mechanism includes a gear ring, which is fixedly arranged on the top of the water tank through a bracket, and the surface of the mounting shaft is fixedly connected to a third gear meshing with the gear ring, and the top of the toothed rotating cover is fixedly connected to a conical cover through a bracket, and both sides of the top of the conical cover are connected to a movable frame used in conjunction with the mounting shaft, and the front side of the movable frame is fixedly connected to a resist rod used in conjunction with the brush cover.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the circular plate is fixedly connected to a limiting sleeve, and two limiting sleeves are symmetrically arranged. The inside of the limiting sleeve is slidingly connected to a limiting rod, and a reset spring is fixedly connected between the limiting rod and the limiting sleeve. The bottom of the third gear is equidistantly provided with a number of limiting grooves for use with the limiting rod.

[0011] Preferably, an electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the interior of the slide frame, and an extending end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the side surface of the sliding block.

[0012] Preferably, both the front and rear sides of the top of the conical cover are provided with openings.

[0013] Preferably, the front side of the water tank is connected to a liquid inlet pipe.

[0014] The present invention also discloses a method for using the insulator cleaning device, which specifically includes the following steps: S1. Equipment installation: Pre-install the water tank on the transformer with bolts and lugs, then pass the insulator through the water tank and then connect it to the transformer; S2. Regular cleaning: pre-connect the on-site delivery pump pipeline with the liquid inlet pipe, then start the delivery pump to deliver detergent to the inside of the water tank. The detergent is delivered to the inside of the spray pipe through the water tank and the toothed rotating cover and sprayed out through the nozzle. Then, remotely start the electric telescopic rod and the drive motor. When the electric telescopic rod is started, its extended end drives the sliding block, circular plate, mounting shaft and brush sleeve to move until the third gear on the surface of the mounting shaft engages with the gear ring on the top of the water tank. When the drive motor is started, the drive motor drives the first gear to engage with the toothed rotating cover, prompting the toothed rotating cover to drive the spray pipe, mounting shaft and brush sleeve to move in a circular motion. The circumferential movement of the spray pipe, mounting shaft and brush sleeve will spray, flush and clean the insulator in a circular motion. S3. Self-disengagement of the shield: When the extended end of the electric telescopic rod drives the sliding block to move, the sliding block synchronously drives the toothed plate to engage with the second gear. The meshing of the toothed plate and the second gear drives the shield cylinder to rotate. When the installation shaft moves to engage the third gear with the gear ring, the corresponding shield cylinder will rotate to disengage the nozzle shield, exposing the nozzle nozzle; S4. Impurity stripping: When the mounting shaft and the brush sleeve move in a circular motion, the third gear on the surface of the mounting shaft engages with the gear ring synchronously, prompting the mounting shaft to drive the brush sleeve to rotate while moving in a circular motion, thereby enhancing cleaning. The brush sleeve will continuously hit the resisting rod as the mounting shaft rotates, prompting the impurities attached to the surface of the brush sleeve to be removed by hitting.

[0015] Beneficial effects The present invention provides an insulator cleaning device and a method for using the same. Compared with existing technologies, the device has the following advantages: (1) The insulator cleaning device and its use method, by arranging a cleaning mechanism, a flexible shielding mechanism and a self-cleaning mechanism between a water storage tank and a tooth edge rotating cover, enables the device to be installed in a fixed manner and remotely automatically controlled, thereby facilitating regular automatic flushing and cleaning of the insulator, reducing operational inconvenience and labor burden, and simultaneously removing impurities attached to the brush cover during cleaning, and automatically switching the shielding state and the detachment state of the spray pipe and the nozzle during cleaning.

[0016] (2) The insulator cleaning device and its use method are characterized by arranging an electric telescopic rod between the sliding block and the slide frame, so that the installation shaft and the brush sleeve can be easily reset and thus disengaged from the insulator.

[0017] (3) The insulator cleaning device and its use method are characterized by arranging a limit sleeve, a limit rod, a reset spring and a limit groove between the third gear and the circular plate, so that after the third gear is disengaged from the gear ring, it can be automatically limited by the above-mentioned cooperation, thereby avoiding the problem of arbitrary rotation of the direction, which would cause the subsequent inconvenience of engagement and calibration between the third gear and the gear ring.

[0018] (4) The insulator cleaning device and its use method are characterized by providing a conical cover on the top of the tooth edge rotating cover so that the conical cover can receive the removed impurities and thereby protect the lower device thereof. The conical cover is fixed to the tooth edge rotating cover so that the conical cover can rotate together with the tooth edge rotating cover to thereby completely throw the impurities off the ground.
