Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power equipment technology, and in particular to insulator installation and reinforcement structures and installation methods. Background Technology

[0002] Insulators are reliable "isolation walls" and "interruptors," ensuring that current is safely transmitted only on the conductors, preventing it from flowing to the ground or supporting structures. At the same time, they are also strong "supporters" and "fixers," firmly holding the conductors and equipment, withstanding the tests of various natural forces (wind, ice, self-weight, tension), and ensuring the stability of the line structure.

[0003] Insulators provide fixed support, but in actual use, there may be situations where the load increases, such as rainy or snowy weather. Excessive load can easily cause the insulator to fall, leading to danger. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies where the load-bearing capacity of insulators cannot adapt to increasing loads, this invention provides an insulator installation and reinforcement structure and installation method.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: an insulator installation structure, including an installation frame set on a power tower or utility pole, an installation rod provided on the installation frame, an installation hole provided on the insulator, the installation rod extending into the installation hole and a gap being provided between the installation rod and the insulator, and a filling layer being formed by injection molding at the gap.

[0006] Preferably, the insulator is also provided with stepped insertion holes, which intersect with mounting holes. The insertion holes are equipped with structures to resist thermal expansion and contraction, including: The inner cylinder is cylindrical and has the same diameter as the insertion hole. It has a 1 / N annular groove on its side wall and a 1 / M annular insertion port at the root of one side of the groove, where N and M are both greater than 1. The outer cylinder is a circular cylinder that fits inside the inner cylinder. It has a notch on its side wall, and arc-shaped sealing plates at both ends of the notch. An arc-shaped fitting plate that fits into the bottom of the groove is located inside the notch. A connecting plate is located on one side of the notch to connect the fitting plate to one end of the notch. The connecting plate, the fitting plate, the two sealing plates, and the groove on one side of the insertion port form an adjustable receiving groove. When the inner and outer cylinders rotate relative to each other, the size of the receiving groove is adjusted.

[0007] Preferably, both the inner and outer cylinders are provided with spaced limiting strips at their ends. The limiting strips are bendable, and the gap between two adjacent limiting strips on the inner and outer cylinders is wider than the width of the limiting strips, so that the inner and outer cylinders can rotate within a small range after the limiting strips are bent.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting plate is provided with a T-shaped injection groove. After injection molding, the injection groove is filled. When it shrinks, this part pulls the connecting plate and the outer cylinder to rotate slightly to avoid tearing due to the shrinkage of the injection molding material.

[0009] Preferably, a collar is slidably provided on the mounting rod. The collar is a rigid single-layer structure or the collar includes a movable inner ring and an outer ring. The inner ring is a rigid single-layer structure, while the outer ring is an elastic pad. The outer diameter of the collar is smaller than the diameter of the mounting hole.

[0010] An insulator reinforcement structure, used to reinforce the aforementioned insulator mounting structure, includes: The hook is attached to the insulator to prevent the insulator from moving away from the mounting rod. The connector is detachably or fixedly connected to the mounting bracket.

[0011] Preferably, the inner wall of the hook is provided with a limiting structure that fits against the outer wall of the insulator, and the limiting structure limits the axial movement of the insulator.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting structure includes at least one limiting piece disposed on the inner wall of the hook body, the limiting piece extending into the gap of the side wall of the insulator to form a limiting position; the hook body includes at least two sets of hooks, each set including at least one hook, wherein the hook in one set hooks onto the smooth side wall of the insulator, and the hook in the other set hooks onto the uneven side wall of the insulator.

[0013] Preferably, the connecting seat includes at least two spaced and elastically spaced limiting legs, at least one of which has a limiting hook at its end. The limiting legs are inserted into the mounting frame and fixed by hooking onto the mounting frame with the limiting hook. The mounting frame has a limiting boss for the limiting hook to abut against and limit the leg. The limiting hook is used to limit the leg and prevent it from falling off. The limiting boss restricts the leg from sliding towards the mounting rod. The limiting direction of the limiting hook is not parallel to the limiting direction of the limiting boss. Alternatively, the connecting seat is an annular structure with elastic sides. The mounting frame has a limiting boss. During installation, the sides of the connecting seat deform outward so that the mounting frame and the limiting boss pass through the middle of the annular structure. After passing through, the connecting seat returns to its original position and abuts against the limiting boss to be limited.

[0014] The insulator installation method includes the following steps: S1, Glue injection: Install the anti-thermal expansion and contraction structure into the insertion hole and rotate it to make the receiving groove on it misalign with the installation hole to seal the inner end of the installation hole. Then slide the collar into the installation hole and finally inject glue into the gap between the collar and the wall of the installation hole. S2, Injection Molding: If the collar is a single-layer rigid structure, remove the collar when the glue to be injected is basically formed and no longer flowing and has not completely solidified. If the collar is a double-layer structure, remove the inner ring after the glue has hardened and leave the elastic soft outer ring inside. Rotate the anti-thermal expansion and contraction structure to make the receiving groove and the mounting hole face each other. Then, inject and fill the gap formed by removing the collar. When filling, the gap and the receiving groove should be filled completely. When filling, ensure that the receiving groove has room to be increased or decreased. S3, Reinforcement: Hook the hook onto the insulator to lift it up and insert the limiting piece into the gap in the side wall of the insulator to form an axial limit. Then, the mounting base is sleeved or inserted into the mounting frame.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Example

[0020] This embodiment mainly describes the title of the insulator installation structure, as follows: Insulator installation structure, see reference Figure 1-3 and Figure 5-6 The system includes a mounting bracket 10 installed on a power tower or utility pole. The mounting bracket 10 has a mounting rod 40, and the insulator 20 has a mounting hole 201. The mounting rod 40 extends into the mounting hole 201, and there is a gap between the mounting rod 40 and the insulator 20. A filling layer is formed by injection molding at the gap. Due to the special material of the insulator 20, it is impossible to create screw holes or other structures. Therefore, this structure improves the support for the insulator 20 and prevents it from falling in situations such as icing.

[0021] Preferably, the insulator 20 is further provided with a stepped insertion hole 202, which intersects with the mounting hole 201. The insertion hole 202 is provided with a thermal expansion and contraction resistant structure 50, which includes: The inner cylinder 501 is cylindrical and has the same diameter as the insertion hole 202. It has a 1 / N annular groove on its side wall and a 1 / M annular insertion port 5012 at the root of one side of the groove, where N and M are both greater than 1. The outer cylinder 502 is a circular cylinder fitted over the inner cylinder 501. It has a notch on its side wall, with arc-shaped sealing plates 5021 at both ends. An arc-shaped fitting plate 5022, which fits snugly against the bottom of a groove, is located inside the notch. A connecting plate 5023 connects the fitting plate 5022 to one end of the notch. The connecting plate 5023, the fitting plate 5022, the two sealing plates 5021, and the groove on one side of the insertion port 5012 form an adjustable receiving groove. The size of the receiving groove is adjusted when the inner cylinder 501 and the outer cylinder 502 rotate relative to each other. This design provides a buffer for thermal expansion and contraction. When heated and expanding, it compresses the two cylinders, causing them to rotate and increasing the volume of the receiving groove; conversely, it decreases the volume of the receiving groove.

[0022] Preferably, both the inner cylinder 501 and the outer cylinder 502 have spaced limiting strips 500 at their ends. These limiting strips 500 are bendable, and the gap between two adjacent limiting strips 500 on the inner cylinder 501 and the outer cylinder 502 is wider than the width of the limiting strip 500 itself, allowing the inner cylinder 501 and the outer cylinder 502 to rotate within a small range after the limiting strip 500 is bent. The limiting strips 500 are used to circumferentially limit the inner cylinder 501 and the outer cylinder 502, and also to axially limit them, preventing them from falling out of the insertion hole 202.

[0023] Preferably, the connecting plate 5023 is provided with a T-shaped injection groove 50231. After injection molding, the injection groove 50231 is filled. When it shrinks, this part pulls the connecting plate 5023 and the outer cylinder 502 to rotate slightly to avoid tearing of the injection molding material due to shrinkage. Example

[0024] This embodiment mainly describes the title of the insulator reinforcement structure, as follows: Insulator reinforcement structure, reference Figure 1-4 It is used to reinforce the insulator mounting structure described in Example 1, including: The hook 30 is hooked onto the insulator 20 to prevent the insulator 20 from moving away from the mounting rod 40; The connecting seat 301 is detachably or fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 10. Based on embodiment 1, this solution further improves the support of the insulator 20 by setting a reinforcement mechanism to support it.

[0025] Preferably, the inner wall of the hook body 30 is provided with a limiting structure that fits against the outer wall of the insulator 20, and the limiting structure limits the axial movement of the insulator 20. The limiting structure is used to limit the axial movement of the insulator 20.

[0026] Preferably, the limiting structure includes at least one limiting piece 3021 disposed on the inner wall of the hook body 30, the limiting piece 3021 extending into the gap of the side wall of the insulator 20 to form a limiting position; the hook body 30 includes at least two sets of hooks 302, each set including at least one hook, wherein one set of hooks 302 hooks onto the smooth side wall of the insulator 20, and the other set of hooks 302 hooks onto the uneven side wall of the insulator 20. This solution is a specific limiting structure.

[0027] Preferably, the connecting seat 301 includes at least two spaced and elastically positioned limiting legs. At least one limiting leg has a limiting hook 3011 at its end. The limiting leg is inserted into the mounting frame 10 and fixed by the limiting hook 3011. The mounting frame 10 has a limiting boss 101 for the limiting hook 3011 to abut against and limit its position. The limiting hook 3011 limits the limiting leg to prevent it from falling off. The limiting boss 101 restricts the limiting leg from sliding towards the mounting rod 40. The limiting direction of the limiting hook 3011 is not parallel to the limiting direction of the limiting boss 101. Alternatively, the connecting seat 301 has a ring structure with elastic sides. The mounting frame 10 has a limiting boss 101. During installation, the sides of the connecting seat 301 deform outwards, causing the mounting frame 10 and the limiting boss 101 to... It passes through the center of the annular structure, and after passing through, the connecting seat 301 resets and abuts against the limiting boss 101 to be limited. The above are two schemes for the connecting seat 301, both of which have the advantage of being easy to install and disassemble. Example

[0028] This embodiment mainly describes the title of the insulator installation method, as follows: For instructions on installing the lintel, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-6 This embodiment is based on the content of Embodiments 1 and 2, and includes the following steps: S1, Glue injection: Install the anti-thermal expansion and contraction structure 50 into the insertion hole 202 and rotate it so that the receiving groove on it is misaligned with the mounting hole 201 to seal the inner end of the mounting hole 201. Then slide the collar 01 into the mounting hole 201. Finally, inject glue into the gap between the collar 01 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 201. S2, Injection Molding: If the collar 01 is a single-layer rigid structure, remove the collar 01 when the glue to be injected is basically formed and no longer flowing and has not completely solidified. If the collar 01 is a double-layer structure, remove the inner ring after the glue has hardened and leave the elastic soft outer ring inside. Rotate the anti-thermal expansion and contraction structure 50 so that the receiving groove is opposite to the mounting hole 201. Then, inject and fill the gap formed by removing the collar 01. When filling, the gap and the receiving groove should be filled completely. When filling, ensure that the receiving groove has room to be enlarged or reduced. This step forms at least one layer of glue protection or a double protection of one layer of glue and one layer of elastic soft pad. This protection mainly serves to buffer and reduce the impact of thermal expansion and contraction. S3, Reinforcement: Hook the hook 30 onto the insulator 20 to form a support and insert the limiting piece 3021 into the gap of the side wall of the insulator 20 to form an axial limit. Then, the connecting seat 301 is sleeved or inserted onto the mounting bracket 10.

[0029] In addition, when installing the anti-thermal expansion and contraction structure 50, insert it first, and then bend the limiting strip 500 and attach it to the stepped surface of the insertion hole 202.

[0030] The main functions of this embodiment are twofold. Firstly, due to the difficulty in creating irregularly shaped cavities inside the insulator 20, two holes are created to allow the injection-molded plastic to extend to both sides, forming an anti-detachment structure. Secondly, to reduce the impact of thermal expansion and contraction, two mutually rotating cylinders are installed inside the insulator 20, allowing for adaptive adjustment through their self-adaptive rotation. The above solutions are based on the premise that it is impossible to create screw holes and irregularly shaped grooves in the insulator 20.

[0031] The above provides a detailed description of the insulator installation and reinforcement structure and installation method provided by the present invention. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the present invention and its core ideas. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
