Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wire cleaning, and in particular to a wire surface cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] The heat dissipation performance of aluminum power transmission conductors is a key performance indicator that determines the transmission capacity of the conductors. Currently, many experts and scholars are engaged in the research of efficient heat dissipation technology for conductors, and anodizing technology is one of them.

[0003] However, heat dissipation wires operate outdoors in harsh environments for extended periods, causing dust, bird droppings, and other contaminants to accumulate on their surfaces. These contaminants can cover the nanoporous structure on the surface of the wires, leading to a significant decrease in heat dissipation performance. At the same time, contaminants can also reduce the corona initiation voltage of the wires, further damaging the nanoporous structure.

[0004] Therefore, maintaining the cleanliness of the surface of anodized heat dissipation wires is crucial for their application. Regular cleaning is necessary, and there are currently two main methods: the first utilizes the friction between the wire and a clamp, and the second uses a rotating brush or high-pressure gas. The first method has the problem that friction can damage the porous surface of the heat dissipation wires. The second method is problematic because power transmission lines operate outdoors year-round, resulting in strong adhesion between foreign matter and the wire. To clean them effectively, the contact force between the brush and the wire needs to be increased, or a harder brush should be used. The air pressure used for impact cleaning is also very high, which can damage the surface morphology of the wires. Furthermore, if the adhesion between foreign matter and the wire surface is strong, this method cannot completely clean them and is unsuitable for heat dissipation wires.

[0005] Therefore, based on the aforementioned technical problems, we propose a wire surface cleaning device. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0020] The terminology used in this invention is that which is currently widely used in the art in consideration of the function of the invention; however, these terms may vary according to the intent of those skilled in the art, precedent, or new technology in the art. Furthermore, specific terms may be chosen by the applicant, and in such cases, their detailed meanings will be described in the detailed description of the invention. Therefore, the terms used in this specification should not be construed as simple names, but rather based on their meanings and the overall description of the invention.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 This embodiment provides a wire surface cleaning device, including a moving component 1; and a cleaning component 2, including a nozzle 21 and a brush 22. First, water mist is sprayed from the nozzle 21 to wet the wire surface, then the brush 22 is used to scrub the wire surface, and then gas is sprayed from the nozzle 21 to blow off residual foreign matter on the wire surface; and the moving component 1 can drive the cleaning component 2 to move back and forth.

[0022] The nozzle 21 is a multi-functional nozzle, capable of both spraying water mist and spraying gas; multiple sets of nozzles 21 and brushes 22 are provided, and the specific number can be adjusted according to actual needs, such as... Figure 2 As shown, three sets are preferably provided, and the positions of the nozzles 21 and brushes 22 are preferably arranged around the circumference of the guide wire.

[0023] It should be further explained that the cleaning component 2 divides the cleaning of the wires into three steps: wetting, brushing and blowing off residual foreign matter. This modular, multi-process gentle cleaning method can better protect the surface of the wires, ensuring the cleaning effect without affecting the heat dissipation performance of the wires.

[0024] In one embodiment provided in this application, the cleaning component 2 further includes an adapter 23, one end of which is connected to an air passage and a water passage, and as shown in the following... Figure 1 As shown, the gas and water lines can be installed on the mounting bracket 11.

[0025] In one embodiment provided in this application, the other end of the adapter 23 is connected to the atomizing device 24.

[0026] Among them, the atomizing device 24 can be a common atomizing nozzle, which combines the air path and the water path, so that the water provided by the water path is atomized and sprayed out through the nozzle 21 to wet the surface of the wire.

[0027] In one embodiment provided in this application, the atomizing device 24 is provided with a connection port 241, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the number of connection ports 241 can be set according to the required number of nozzles 21 and brushes 22.

[0028] In one embodiment provided in this application, one end of the support arm 242 is used to connect to the port 241, and the other end of the support arm 242 is connected to the nozzle 21, so that the port 241 is connected to the nozzle 21 through the support arm 242.

[0029] In one embodiment provided in this application, a pressure transmission component 25 is connected to the outer wall of the support arm 242. The pressure transmission component 25 includes a housing 251 connected to the support arm 242, and an air inlet 2511 is provided on the housing 251.

[0030] The atomizing device 24 connects the air path and the water path. The air path is divided into two paths. One path is combined with water to perform atomization, and the other path is connected to the pressure transmission component 25. When the branch air path is working, the pressure transmission component 25 controls the height of the brush 22. When the air path is closed, the brush 22 descends, and when the air path is open, the brush 22 rises.

[0031] In one embodiment provided in this application, the air inlet 2511 is connected to the air passage, and the housing 251 is divided to form a first cavity 2512 and a second cavity 2513. One end of the first cavity 2512 is connected to the air inlet 2511, and the end of the first cavity 2512 away from the air inlet 2511 is connected to the second cavity 2513.

[0032] In one embodiment provided in this application, a movable channel 2514 is provided on the side of the housing 251 opposite to the air inlet 2511; the movable channel 2514 is mainly used to limit the displacement direction of the brush 22.

[0033] In one embodiment provided in this application, the outer wall of the brush 22 is provided with a connecting post 221, and the connecting post 221 is movably engaged with the brush 22. A piston plate 222 is provided at the end of the connecting post 221 away from the brush 22, and an elastic member 2515 is provided between the piston plate 222 and the second cavity 2513.

[0034] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the elastic element 2515 and the connecting post 22 are distributed on opposite sides of the piston plate 222, and are preferably compression springs. In this application, the elastic element 2515 mainly plays a resetting role.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the pressure transmission component 25 consists of a cylinder (or piston cylinder), an air pump, a return spring, and a sealing ring (to ensure the airtightness of the connection at the air inlet 2511). Through the connecting air passage, the air pump inflates the cylinder, i.e., the housing 251, as shown. Figure 4 As shown, the gas pressure pushes the piston plate 222 upward, causing the brush 22 to rise, while compressing the return spring. When the air passage is closed and the air supply stops, the exhaust valve is opened, the air pressure in the cylinder decreases, and the return spring releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the piston plate 222 back to the bottom, so that the brush 22 returns to its original position. This allows the brush 22 to contact the surface of the wire only when the air passage is closed.

[0036] In one embodiment provided in this application, the moving component 1 includes a mounting frame 11 disposed outside the cleaning component 2. The outer wall of the mounting frame 11 is provided with a through groove 111. The mounting frame 11 is provided with a clamping plate 12, and the clamping plate 12 is provided with a driving device 13 for moving the wire surface cleaning device back and forth on the wire.

[0037] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting bracket 11 is preferably configured as an arc shape, and the through groove 111 is mainly used to insert wires into the interior of the movable component 1; like Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning component 2 is provided with clamping plates 12 and driving devices 13 on both sides, and preferably there are two clamping plates 12 on each side, arranged at a 120° interval. Of course, the number of clamping plates 12 and driving devices 13 can be adjusted according to the actual situation. When the overall wire surface cleaning device is installed, from the cross-section of the wire, the clamping plates 12 are located on the upper part of the inner wall of the mounting bracket 11.

[0038] Furthermore, the drive device 13 mainly enables the entire device to move on the wire, thereby cleaning different positions of the wire. The drive device includes drive wheels, preferably rubber track wheels, which are controlled by a motor. This technology is existing technology and will not be elaborated on further in this case. The track surface of the drive device 13 is made of soft rubber material, which provides greater adhesion to the surface of the wire while also protecting the surface of the wire.

[0039] In one embodiment provided in this application, the drive device 13 is connected to a circuit, thereby enabling power supply to the drive device 13. The clamping plate 12 and the mounting bracket 11 are connected by a telescopic rod 14, as shown below. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning component 2 and the moving component 1 are connected by bolts 26. The adapter 23 and the mounting bracket 11 are connected by bolts 26, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of parts.

[0040] The telescopic rod 14 is a common telescopic rod that can be adjusted in length and has a limiting function. By setting the telescopic rod 14, the length between the clamping plate 12 and the mounting frame 11 can be adjusted to accommodate wires of different specifications. By adjusting the telescopic rod 14, the track of the drive device 13 can be made to fit the surface of the wire.

[0041] It should be further explained that the overall cleaning device needs to be designed to be lightweight. Except for the motor, the necessary metal parts such as the nozzle 21 and the support arm 242 can be made of aluminum alloy, and the rest can preferably be made of plastic.

[0042] In summary, the cleaning device is first installed, and the electrical, air, and water circuits are connected. The electrical circuit powers the drive device 13, causing the entire cleaning device to move back and forth on the wire. Then, water mist is sprayed from the nozzle 21 via the atomizing device 24 to wet the surface of the wire. Next, the water and air circuits are closed, and the brush 21 contacts the wire surface to scrub it. After scrubbing, only the air circuit is opened, and the nozzle 21 begins to spray air. The drive device 13 moves the cleaning device, blowing away any remaining foreign matter on the wire surface. Once one cleaning cycle is complete, the process can be repeated. This setup allows for step-by-step cleaning, with the brush 21 and nozzle 21 working independently without interference, thus reducing damage to the wire surface.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways as long as they do not depart from the scope of the present invention.
