Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of power insulator assembly, and particularly discloses a power insulator assembly device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a power system, the series assembly of a suspension insulator is a key process for ensuring the safe and stable operation of a power transmission line, and the specific process comprises the following steps: first, the posture of a single insulator is adjusted to ensure that the screw cap bowl opening faces upward to facilitate subsequent connection; then, the to-be-connected insulators are accurately aligned, so that the steel leg of one insulator is aligned with the screw cap bowl opening of the other insulator; then, appropriate external force is applied to insert the steel leg into the screw cap to achieve initial fitting; finally, the fixed connection of the two insulators is completed by manually driving in a split pin and the like, and the above steps are repeated to gradually form an insulator string of a required length.

[0003] At present, the series operation of the insulator is mostly completed manually, and the workers need to manually carry, align and connect the insulators. For large suspension insulators, the weight and volume are large, and in the series operation, the insulator often needs to be turned over and adjusted first, so that the steel leg is in a connectable state with the screw cap bowl opening of another insulator, and then the steel leg is pressed into the screw cap by manpower. This process not only consumes a large amount of manpower, but also the accuracy of manual turning and alignment is difficult to guarantee, and problems such as misalignment of the steel leg and the screw cap and incomplete insertion of the steel leg are likely to occur, which not only affects the assembly efficiency, but also may cause damage to the insulator due to improper operation, thereby increasing the operation cost and safety hazards.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The position adjustment mechanism allows the angle rotation mechanism to be precisely moved above the material pulling mechanism. At the same time, the lifting cylinder can flexibly adjust the longitudinal height, so as to achieve precise alignment and locking of the central axis of the insulator steel foot at the position adjustment mechanism and the insulator nut cup at the material pulling mechanism. The alignment accuracy error is small. Compared with the repeated adjustments of manual alignment, the alignment time is greatly shortened. At the same time, it avoids the problem of steel foot not being inserted in place or nut being damaged due to alignment deviation, and significantly improves the series connection quality and efficiency.

[0019] In the angle rotation mechanism, the drive motor and gears work together to drive the rotating gear ring to rotate smoothly. The guide wheel limits the rotation to prevent deviation. The clamping block and the placement roller form a double fixation of side clamping and bottom support, ensuring that the insulator does not shake or scratch during rotation. There is no need for manual contact to flip it, reducing the physical burden on the staff. At the same time, it avoids the risk of the insulator slipping and hitting or the porcelain breaking. It also ensures the accuracy of posture adjustment, laying the foundation for subsequent series connection.

[0020] The material pulling mechanism uses a U-shaped support block and a semi-circular stabilizing roller to fix the pre-stored insulators from the bottom and sides, ensuring their horizontal stability and that the nut bowl faces the angle rotation mechanism. The second slide rail can drive the support block to move the insulators after series connection. With the help of the conveyor belt, the series connection and transportation are seamlessly connected. There is no need for manual handling and transfer, which avoids collision damage to the insulator strings during the transfer process and ensures the continuity and stability of the overall assembly process.

[0032] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0034] like Figures 1-10 The power insulator assembly equipment shown includes a workbench 1. A movable opening 2 is provided on one side of the upper end of the workbench 1. A position adjustment mechanism is connected to both sides of the upper end of the workbench 1 corresponding to the movable opening 2. An angle rotation mechanism is connected to the upper end of the position adjustment mechanism. The angle rotation mechanism includes a frame 7. Mounting rings 8 are connected to both sides of the upper end of the frame 7. A drive motor 9 is connected to the upper part of one side of the frame 7. A gear 10 is connected to the outer wall of the output end of the drive motor 9. A rotating gear ring 11 is meshed with the upper end of the gear 10. Connecting plates 13 are connected to both sides of the lower end of the inner walls of the two mounting rings 8. A roller 14 is rotatably connected between the two connecting plates 13. The output end of the drive motor 9 extends through into the interior of the frame 7. The gear 10 is located inside the frame 7. The rotating gear ring 11 rotates between the two mounting rings 8. Guide wheels 12 are circumferentially connected to one side of each of the two mounting rings 8. Multiple guide wheels 12 are circumferentially distributed on both sides of the outer wall of the rotating gear ring 11. A material pulling mechanism is connected to the side of the upper end of the workbench 1 away from the position adjustment mechanism.

[0035] The mounting ring 8 forms an annular support for the rotating gear ring 11 and provides a mounting carrier for the guide wheel 12. The gear 10 is used to transmit the power of the drive motor 9 to the rotating gear ring 11, causing the rotating gear ring 11 to rotate around the center of the mounting ring 8. The connecting plate 13 connects the mounting ring 8 and the idler roller 14. The idler roller 14 supports the support plate 17 and converts the sliding friction of the support plate 17 into rolling friction, reducing the resistance when the support plate 17 moves. The guide wheel 12 limits the rotating gear ring 11 to prevent radial displacement when the rotating gear ring 11 rotates, ensuring its rotation trajectory is stable. The material pulling mechanism is used to pre-store the insulators to be connected in series and to transport them to the next process after the insulators are connected in series.

[0036] like Figures 1-5 As shown: The position adjustment mechanism includes a first slide rail 3, and there are two sets of first slide rails 3. The two first slide rails 3 are slidably connected to the first sliders 4. The upper ends of the two first sliders 4 are connected to the support plates 5. The lower ends of the two support plates 5 slide inside the moving port 2. The support plates 5 are Z-shaped. The upper middle part of the two support plates 5 is connected to the lifting cylinders 6. The upper ends of the two lifting cylinders 6 are connected to the lower sides of the frame 7. The upper side of the two support plates 5 is connected to the stabilizing rod. The upper ends of the two stabilizing rods extend through into the frame 7. The lower end of the frame 7 is provided with stabilizing holes corresponding to the two stabilizing rods. The two stabilizing rods are located inside the two stabilizing holes respectively.

[0037] The two sets of first slide rails 3 are electrically controlled slide rails, providing a stable and precise horizontal sliding track for the first slider 4. The first slider 4 is used to drive the support plate 5 to move horizontally synchronously, realizing the lateral position adjustment of the position adjustment mechanism. The Z-shaped support plate 5 is used to adapt to the height difference between the workbench 1 and the frame 7, and at the same time provides installation support points for the lifting cylinder 6 and the stabilizer. The lifting cylinder 6 drives the frame 7 and the angle rotation mechanism to lift as a whole, realizing the longitudinal position adjustment of the angle rotation mechanism. The stabilizer guides the frame 7 during the lifting process to prevent the frame 7 from tilting or deviating during the lifting.

[0038] like Figures 4-9As shown: Multiple idler rollers 14 are slidably connected to a support plate 17 at their upper ends. A housing 18 is connected to the upper end of the support plate 17, and a placement plate 19 is connected to the upper end of the housing 18. Movable rods 16 are connected to both sides of the lower end of the support plate 17, and both movable rods 16 are inclined. Adjusting cylinders 15 are connected to the upper part of one side of the frame 7, with one end of each adjusting cylinder 15 extending through to one side of the frame 7. One end of each adjusting cylinder 15 is connected to one side of the two movable rods 16. An insulator is placed on one side of the upper end of the placement plate 19. First electric insulators are connected to both sides of the lower end of the inner wall of the housing 18. The first electric telescopic rod 20 has a stop block 21 connected to its upper end. The placement plate 19 has an opening corresponding to the stop block 21. The stop block 21 is located inside the opening. The upper end of the placement plate 19 is arc-shaped, and the upper end of the stop block 21 is also arc-shaped. The inner walls of the two mounting rings 8 are connected to the two sides of the support plate 17, and the two second electric telescopic rods 22 are connected to the inner walls of the two mounting rings 8 through stabilizing blocks. One end of each of the two second electric telescopic rods 22 is connected to a placement roller 23, and the two placement rollers 23 are in contact with the lower ends of the insulator.

[0039] The pallet 17 supports the housing 18, the placement plate 19, and the insulator, and can slide along the roller 14 to achieve horizontal transport of the insulator. The housing 18 protects the first electric telescopic rod 20 from external impurities affecting its telescopic movement. The arc-shaped placement plate 19 conforms to the outer wall shape of the insulator, providing initial support and positioning to prevent the insulator from rolling during placement. The moving rod 16 converts the thrust of the adjusting cylinder 15 into the sliding power of the pallet 17, driving the pallet 17 to move precisely along the roller 14. Rod 20 is used to drive stop 21 to rise and fall along the protrusion opening, realizing the extension and retraction control of stop 21. Arc-shaped stop 21 and placement plate 19 cooperate to form a U-shaped limiting structure, which engages the insulator from both sides and bottom to prevent the insulator from shifting when moving or rotating. The second electric telescopic rod 22 drives placement roller 23 to approach or move away from the insulator. Placement roller 23 provides auxiliary support from both sides of the lower end of the insulator and rolls synchronously with it when the insulator rotates to avoid sliding friction with the insulator and ensure the stability of the insulator's rotation posture.

[0040] like Figure 8 As shown: A third electric telescopic rod 24 is connected to one side of the inner wall of the rotating toothed ring 11. A C-shaped plate 25 is connected to one end of the third electric telescopic rod 24. A fourth electric telescopic rod 26 is connected to both sides of the C-shaped plate 25. A clamping block 27 is connected to one end of each of the two fourth electric telescopic rods 26. One end of each of the two fourth electric telescopic rods 26 extends through into the interior of the C-shaped plate 25. One side of each clamping block 27 is made of buffer pad material. One side of each clamping block 27 is connected to both sides of the insulator.

[0041] The third electric telescopic rod 24 drives the C-shaped plate 25 to move closer to or further away from the insulator, adjusting the distance between the C-shaped plate 25 and the insulator to ensure that the clamping block 27 can accurately align with the insulator. The fourth electric telescopic rod 26 drives the clamping block 27 to move in opposite directions or separate in reverse, realizing the clamping and releasing of the insulator. The clamping block 27, made of buffer pad material, is used to prevent the clamping block 27 from making hard contact with the outer wall of the insulator when clamping the insulator, preventing damage to the surface of the insulator. At the same time, it enhances the friction between the clamping block 27 and the insulator, ensuring a stable clamping of the insulator. It works in conjunction with the rotating toothed ring 11 to drive the insulator to rotate synchronously.

[0042] like Figure 9 As shown: One of the mounting rings 8 has mounting plates 28 evenly connected to the upper part of one side. The mounting plates 28 are L-shaped. Two guide cylinders 29 are connected to the middle of one side of the two mounting plates 28. One end of the two guide cylinders 29 extends through to one side of the two mounting plates 28. One end of the two guide cylinders 29 is evenly connected to guide frames 30. Guide rollers 31 are evenly rotatably connected to the inner walls of the two guide frames 30. The upper end of the guide frame 30 is inclined, and the lower end of the guide frame 30 is arc-shaped.

[0043] The guide cylinder 29 drives the guide frame 30 to move closer to or further away from the feeding area, adjusting the position of the guide frame 30. The guide frame 30 forms a material guiding channel for the insulator. Its inclined upper end is used to enlarge the feeding inlet, making it easier for workers to put the insulator in. The arc-shaped lower end is used to conform to the shape of the outer wall of the insulator, guiding the insulator to fall accurately onto the placement plate 19. The guide roller 31 converts the sliding friction between the insulator and the inner wall of the guide frame 30 into rolling friction, reducing the resistance when the insulator falls, avoiding scratch damage to the outer wall of the insulator, and ensuring that the insulator slides smoothly along the guide frame 30.

[0044] like Figure 10 As shown: The material pulling mechanism includes six support rods 32. The upper ends of the six support rods 32 are connected to support frames 33. Conveyor belts 34 are rotatably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the support frames 33. Stabilizing plates 35 are connected to the middle of both sides of the support frames 33. Moving cylinders 36 are evenly connected to the upper part of one side of the two stabilizing plates 35. One end of the two moving cylinders 36 and one end of the other two moving cylinders 36 extend through to one side of the two stabilizing plates 35. Moving frames 37 are connected to one end of the two moving cylinders 36 and one end of the other two moving cylinders 36. Stabilizing rollers 38 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the two moving frames 37. The outer wall of the stabilizing rollers 38 is set in a semi-arc structure. Second slide rails 39 are connected to the upper part of both sides of the support frames 33. Second sliders 40 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the two second slide rails 39. Slide rods 41 are connected to the upper ends of the two second sliders 40. Support blocks 42 are connected between the two slide rods 41. Support blocks 42 are set in a U-shaped structure.

[0045] Support rod 32 provides stable support for support frame 33. After the insulators are connected in series, conveyor belt 34 smoothly transports them to the next process, realizing continuous transport of insulator strings. Moving cylinder 36 drives moving frame 37 to move closer to or away from the insulator, controlling the distance between stabilizing roller 38 and the insulator. Semi-arc stabilizing roller 38 clamps and limits the insulator from both sides, conforming to the shape of the insulator's outer wall, preventing the insulator from rolling or shifting during pre-storage or transport. Two sets of second slide rails 39 are electrically controlled slide rails, providing stable and precise horizontal sliding tracks for second slider 40, ensuring that support block 42 can move precisely under the insulator to be connected or transfer the connected insulators to conveyor belt 34. Second slider 40 drives slide rod 41 to move horizontally synchronously with support block 42, realizing position adjustment of support block 42. U-shaped support block 42 supports the insulator from the lower end, while limiting the steel foot part of the insulator to prevent the insulator from shifting laterally during pre-storage, and works with stabilizing roller 38 to achieve double fixation of the insulator.

[0046] Working principle: The operator places the insulator to be strung horizontally, ensuring that the steel feet of the insulator are at the same level as the nut cup. Only the steel feet of the insulator are supported by the upper end of the support block 42. The conveyor belt 34 remains stationary, with the lower part of the insulator in contact with the conveyor belt 34. The support block 42 provides support for the insulator. Then, the moving cylinder 36 extends, pushing the moving frame 37 closer to the insulator, so that the semi-circular outer walls of the stabilizing rollers 38 on both sides fit against the outer wall of the ceramic part in the middle of the insulator, clamping the insulator from both sides. This ensures that the insulator to be strung remains horizontal and stable on the pulling mechanism, with the nut cup end facing the direction of the angle rotating mechanism, preparing the posture for subsequent docking with the steel feet of the insulator in the angle rotating mechanism.

[0047] At the same time, the guide cylinder 29 drives the two guide frames 30 to form a trumpet-shaped material guiding channel. The staff put another set of insulators to be adjusted between the two guide frames 30. Under the action of gravity, the insulators slide down the inclined upper end of the guide frame 30. During the process, they roll and contact with the inner wall guide roller 31 to achieve smooth downward material guiding. The adjusting cylinder 15 extends synchronously, pushing the inclined moving rod 16 to drive the support plate 17 to move along the support roller 14, so that the placement plate 19 at the upper end of the support plate 17 is accurately aligned with the lower end outlet of the two guide frames 30. The insulators after the material guiding is completed fall into the arc groove of the placement plate 19. The first electric telescopic rod 20 drives the stop block 21 to rise, forming a U-shaped limit with the placement plate 19, completing the positioning of the insulator.

[0048] After the material is loaded, the second electric telescopic rod 22 pushes the placement roller 23 upward and contacts both sides of the lower end of the insulator, forming a three-point support with the placement plate 19 to ensure that the insulator does not shift during rotation. Then, the third electric telescopic rod 24 extends and pushes the C-shaped plate 25 to one side of the insulator. The fourth electric telescopic rod 26 drives the two clamping blocks 27 to move in opposite directions, clamping the side of the insulator with the buffer pad to achieve stable clamping of the insulator. The drive motor 9 starts and drives the gear 10 to rotate. The meshing rotating gear ring 11 rotates smoothly under the limit of the guide wheel 12 on the outer wall of the mounting ring 8, and then drives the insulator to rotate synchronously through the clamping mechanism until the insulator nut bowl is adjusted to the upward position. The drive motor 9 stops running, completing the posture adjustment.

[0049] The lifting cylinder 6 extends, driving the insulator to move upward to the preset height. The stabilizing rod slides upward synchronously along the stabilizing hole at the lower end of the frame 7 to ensure a smooth ascent. The first slider 4 on the first slide rail 3 slides, driving the Z-shaped support plate 5 to move horizontally along the moving port 2 of the worktable 1 towards the material pulling mechanism until the central axis of the steel foot of the insulator above the placement plate 19 is completely aligned with the central axis of the nut cup of the insulator in the material pulling mechanism. At this time, the steel foot of the insulator in the angle rotation mechanism is exactly above the nut cup of the insulator in the material pulling mechanism. After moving into place, the lifting cylinder 6 maintains its current extended state to ensure that the insulator is always above the nut cup of the material pulling mechanism.

[0050] After alignment, the lifting cylinder 6 slowly retracts, causing the insulator in the angle rotation mechanism to move vertically downwards, so that the steel foot of the insulator is accurately inserted into the nut cup of the insulator on the material pulling mechanism, until the annular protrusion of the steel foot is fully engaged with the nut groove, completing the snap-fit ​​connection of the two insulators. At this time, the pallet 17 and the conveyor belt 34 are at the same horizontal height, realizing the height connection between the angle rotation mechanism and the material pulling mechanism, avoiding height difference when transferring insulators later.

[0051] Subsequently, the angle rotation mechanism releases all positioning: the fourth electric telescopic rod 26 retracts, causing the clamping block 27 to release the insulator; the second electric telescopic rod 22 retracts, causing the placement roller 23 to disengage from the insulator; and the first electric telescopic rod 20 retracts, causing the stop block 21 to retract below the placement plate 19, thus releasing all restrictions on the insulator.

[0052] Since the insulators connected in series are still held by the stabilizing rollers 38 from both sides and supported by the support blocks 42 from the bottom, maintaining a stable and static state, the workers can hold the cotter pins and insert them into the corresponding holes of the pre-set pin holes on the side wall of the nut and the annular protrusions of the steel feet to complete the final mechanical locking of the insulator string and prevent the steel feet and nuts from loosening during subsequent transportation or use.

[0053] After the cotter pin is inserted, the material pulling mechanism officially starts conveying: the second slider 40 on the second slide rail 39 drives the slide rod 41 to move away from the angle rotation mechanism, the U-shaped support block 42 supports the bottom of the series insulator and pulls it towards the conveyor belt 34, and at the same time the conveyor belt 34 starts to run, the stabilizing roller 38 keeps clamping the two sides of the insulator until the series insulator is completely transferred above the conveyor belt 34.

[0054] The support block 42 is reset, the moving cylinder 36 retracts and drives the stabilizing roller 38 to detach from the insulator, and the conveyor belt 34 transports the series-connected insulators to the next process, completing the single insulator series connection process. The above steps can be repeated to achieve continuous assembly.

[0055] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed invention.
