Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of insulator testing, specifically a defect detection method, testing equipment, and its application in porcelain insulators. Background Technology

[0002] Porcelain insulators, as critical insulating components in power systems, are widely used in power facilities such as substations and transmission lines. Their shed structure directly determines the insulator's insulation performance, anti-flashover capability, and service life. Defects on the shed surface, such as cracks, glaze defects, peeling, edge chipping, pinholes, and dirt accumulation, significantly reduce the insulator's insulation reliability and may even lead to safety accidents such as short circuits and tripping in power equipment. Therefore, efficient and accurate visual inspection of the porcelain insulator shed surface is a crucial step in the operation, maintenance, and manufacturing process of power equipment.

[0003] Currently, the industry commonly employs manual or semi-automatic visual inspection methods for visual inspection of the surface of porcelain insulator skirts. Among these, semi-automatic visual inspection has become the mainstream method due to its higher inspection efficiency and relatively stable accuracy compared to manual inspection. The core principle of this type of semi-automatic visual inspection equipment is to acquire images of the porcelain insulator skirt surface using an industrial camera, and then analyze the images using image processing algorithms to identify various defects on the skirt surface, thereby determining the quality of the porcelain insulator skirts. However, it still has the following drawbacks: Because porcelain insulators have a columnar structure with their skirts arranged in a ring around the insulator body, and because there are many skirts in a layered manner, to achieve comprehensive visual inspection of the upper surface, lower surface, and edges of each layer of skirts and avoid blind spots, two independent driving devices must be set up simultaneously. One device drives the porcelain insulator to move linearly along its axis to sequentially inspect different layers of skirts, while the other device drives the porcelain insulator to rotate around its central axis to achieve a comprehensive scan of the entire ring surface of the same layer of skirts. The setup of two driving devices not only makes the structure of the entire inspection equipment complex and the operation process cumbersome, but also increases the cost. Summary of the Invention

[0027] Depend on Figure 4The rotating limiting component 38 includes a limiting block 381 rotatably mounted on the second fixed frame 31d within the annular frame 311. A sliding limiting rod 382 is fixedly mounted on the side of the limiting block 381 near the rotating screw cylinder 371. The sliding limiting rod 382 is slidably mounted inside the sliding limiting groove 353. The rotating screw 352 on one side of the rotating block 351 is threadedly connected to the rotating screw cylinder 371. The sliding limiting rod 382 is slidably mounted in the sliding limiting groove 353 within the rotating screw 352. When the limiting block 381 is fixed, the rotation of the rotating screw 352 is restricted, so that the rotation of the rotating screw cylinder 371 can only drive the porcelain insulator to move along its length direction for position adjustment.

[0028] Depend on Figure 6 The fixed control component 39 includes a negative pressure chamber 391 opened inside the bottom seat 312 of the second fixed frame 31d. A negative pressure suction cup 392 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the annular frame 311. The outer wall of the limiting rotating block 381 is smoothly arranged. The end wall of the negative pressure chamber 391 is in close contact with the outer wall of the limiting rotating block 381. A piston block 393 is movably installed inside the negative pressure chamber 391. Springs 394 are symmetrically installed at the bottom end of the piston block 393. A piston rod 395 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the piston block 393. The bottom end of the piston rod 395 extends through to the bottom of the bottom seat 312. A C-shaped connecting block 396 is installed at the bottom end of the piston rod 395. The negative pressure suction cup 392 contains... The cavity and the cavity below the piston block 393 on the negative pressure cavity 391 are connected. The inner cavity of the negative pressure suction cup 392 is connected to the cavity below the piston block 393 on the negative pressure cavity 391. The mounting bracket 25 moves upward to move the two detection cameras 26 away from the sides of the umbrella skirt and simultaneously drives the piston block 393 to move upward, fixing the limiting rotating block 381 to facilitate the movement of the porcelain insulator and avoid obstructing the movement of the porcelain insulator. The mounting bracket 25 moves downward to move the two detection cameras 26 to the sides of the umbrella skirt and releases the limiting rotating block 381 to facilitate the rotation of the porcelain insulator and perform synchronous visual inspection on both sides of the umbrella skirt, improving the efficiency of defect detection.

[0029] Working principle: First, the porcelain insulator is fixed. During use, according to the length of the porcelain insulator, the first motor 365 is turned on, driving the first gear 364 to rotate. The first gear 364 meshes with the tooth groove 363, thereby driving the second moving frame 31b to move away from the first moving frame 31a, placing the porcelain insulator between the two rotating blocks 351. Then, the second moving frame 31b is driven to move towards the first moving frame 31a to clamp the porcelain insulator. The fixing pins on the two rotating blocks 351 are respectively inserted into the corresponding bolt holes on the steel caps and steel feet at both ends of the porcelain insulator to fix the porcelain insulator. Then, the screw lifting component 27 drives the fixed side rod 23 and the middle pull rod 24 to move upward, causing the detection camera 26 to move upward away from the porcelain insulator. The upward movement of the middle pull rod 24, in turn, pushes the piston block 393 upward. The inner cavity of the negative pressure suction cup 392 is connected to the cavity on the negative pressure chamber 391 located below the piston block 393, so that the negative pressure suction cup 392 and the limiting rotating block 381 are in a negative pressure fixed state. When the limiting rotating block 381 is fixed by negative pressure, the sliding limiting rod 382 slides with the sliding limiting groove 353 on the rotating screw 352. The connection limits the rotation screw 352, preventing the rotating block 351 from rotating. At this time, the second motor 374 is turned on, driving the second gear 373 to rotate. The second gear 373 meshes with the gear ring 372, thereby driving the rotating screw 371 to rotate. The rotating screw 371 is threadedly connected to the rotating screw 352. After the rotating screw 371 rotates, it pushes the first moving frame 31a and the second moving frame 31b to move along the guide rod 33, thereby driving the fixed porcelain insulator to move until the first shed of the porcelain insulator moves to below the mounting frame 25. Then, the second motor 374 is stopped, and the fixed side rod 23 and the middle tie rod 24 are driven to move downward through the screw lifting component 27. The downward movement of the fixed side rod 23 causes the mounting frame 25 to move downward, thereby moving the two inspection cameras 26 to both sides of the umbrella skirt. The two inspection cameras 26 respectively take pictures and collect images of the two sides of the umbrella skirt surface. The collected images are transmitted to the computer for comparison and defect detection of the umbrella skirt surface. The synchronous central pull rod 24 pushes the piston block 393 upward, thereby releasing the negative pressure fixation between the negative pressure suction cup 392 and the limit rotating block 381. At this time, the second motor 374 is turned on, and the second gear 373 is driven to rotate. Under the thread engagement of the rotating screw 371 and the rotating screw 352, the rotating screw 371 rotates and drives the rotating screw 352 to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the rotating block 351 and the porcelain insulator between the two rotating blocks 351 to rotate, thereby facilitating the complete inspection of the umbrella skirt. After one umbrella skirt is inspected, repeat the above operation to inspect each umbrella skirt in turn.
