Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of insulator forming and processing technology, specifically to an automatic cutting and forming machine for multi-station insulator blanks. Background Technology

[0002] Insulators are specialized insulating components for power systems, serving two main functions: electrical insulation and mechanical support. Electrical functions include isolating live conductors, equipment, and grounding hardware / towers, preventing current leakage, and avoiding short circuits and leakage. Mechanical functions include suspending and fixing transmission and distribution conductors and electrical equipment, and bearing loads such as conductor tension and self-weight. They are typically made of insulating materials such as ceramics, tempered glass, and enamel, making them resistant to weathering, pollution, and extreme temperatures. They are widely used in transmission towers, substations, and distribution lines.

[0003] In the production process of insulators, ceramics, tempered glass, and enamel products are usually used as raw materials for cutting and processing, followed by polishing and other forming processes. However, existing forming and polishing equipment has few stations, and the number of insulating terminals processed at one time is small. This requires additional steps and processes, which reduces efficiency and wastes some electrical energy, making it difficult to achieve energy-saving and high-efficiency effects. In addition, the machine usually needs to be stopped to remove the insulating terminals from the processing station, resulting in low efficiency and increased energy consumption. Based on this, a multi-station automatic cutting and forming machine for insulator blanks is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Preferably, the three-section rotating shaft is distributed in three sections, with the top section and the middle section being hinged and rotatably connected, and the middle section and the bottom section being separated by a Z-shaped groove.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The equipment adopts a circumferential distributed multi-station structure, which can clamp multiple sets of insulator blanks at one time to carry out cutting and forming operations. A single person can complete the operation of the whole machine and batch loading and unloading, which greatly improves the processing capacity. At the same time, the equipment adopts an independent station clutch transmission structure. After the processing of a single station is completed, it can be separated from the transmission system to unload and change materials without interfering with the continuous operation of other stations. This effectively avoids the equipment running idle, reduces ineffective energy consumption, and achieves efficient and energy-saving batch processing production. 2. The equipment adopts a three-section rotating shaft combined with a zigzag groove, pin, and semi-ring branch pipe assembly / disassembly structure, which can quickly complete the clamping and disassembly of insulator blanks. Coupled with a circumferential viewing door corresponding to the workstation, it greatly facilitates daily inspection, maintenance, and workpiece changeover. Simultaneously, the upper and lower synchronous hydraulic telescopic structure and elastic tension transmission mechanism ensure the stability of workstation movement, shaft operation, and chain transmission, eliminating transmission slippage and jamming problems. Furthermore, the processing tools can be quickly disassembled and replaced with milling cutters and polishing balls, adaptable to grinding and polishing of insulator blanks of different specifications, significantly improving the equipment's versatility and practicality. 3. The equipment integrates a dust removal and slag discharge structure. Through a combination of a fan, dust collector, air supply pipe, and ventilation holes in the positioning ring plate, a negative pressure airflow is created inside the machine casing. This rapidly draws in dust and debris generated during processing, which is then filtered and purified before being discharged. Simultaneously, a bottom slag discharge pipe facilitates waste removal. This structure effectively prevents dust and waste from accumulating inside the equipment, reducing the probability of equipment failure, stabilizing operating conditions, and extending the overall service life of the equipment. Furthermore, the equipment is equipped with a basic sensing and control system, enabling process monitoring and safety protection, further ensuring the stability and safety of equipment operation.

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-8This invention provides a technical solution: an automatic cutting and forming machine for multi-station insulator blanks, comprising a housing 1, a top cover 3 fixedly installed on the top of the housing 1, an air supply pipe 6 connected to the top of the top cover 3, a lower base 2 fixedly installed on the bottom of the housing 1, and several visible doors 4 movably installed on the outer side of the housing 1 via hinges. Positioning ring plates 10 are fixedly sleeved inside the top and bottom ends of the housing 1. Several sliding grooves 32 are formed through the interior of the positioning ring plates 10. H-shaped annular slides 26 are slidably installed inside the sliding grooves 32. A three-section rotating shaft 16 is sleeved on the inner side of the H-shaped annular slide 26 via bearings. The top and bottom ends of the three-section rotating shaft 16 are fitted with... A support bearing assembly 29 is connected, and multiple sets of synchronous hydraulic telescopic columns 11 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the support bearing assembly 29. A flexible limiting sleeve 39 is sleeved on the top of the three-section rotating shaft 16. A fastening nut 23 is threadedly sleeved on the outer side of the bottom of the three-section rotating shaft 16. A feeding friction sleeve 14 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the feeding friction sleeve 14. Several insulators 15 are squeezed and sleeved on the outer side of the feeding friction sleeve 14. A Z-shaped groove 25 is opened inside the bottom of the three-section rotating shaft 16. A pin 27 is movably inserted inside the bottom of the three-section rotating shaft 16. Two semi-ring branch pipes 24 are movably inserted on the outer side of the pin 27. The three-section rotating shaft 16 is located at the lower end of the machine. A driven gear 21 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of a section inside the base 2. A transmission chain 22 is meshed and sleeved on the opposite side of the driven gear 21. Several sets of positioning gears 20 are meshed and sleeved on the inner side of the transmission chain 22. Several tension gears 30 are meshed and sleeved on the outer side of the transmission chain 22. An elastic telescopic mechanism 28 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the tension gears 30. A servo drive motor 31 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the lower base 2. The output end of the servo drive motor 31 is connected to the inner side of the transmission chain 22 through gear meshing. A servo reduction motor 12 is set on the top of the housing 1. A high-precision screw 17 is connected to the output end of the servo reduction motor 12. The outer side of the high-precision screw 17 is threadedly connected to a movable disc seat 19. Several slide rods 18 are slidably sleeved inside the movable disc seat 19. Several mounting slots 33 are opened on the outer side of the movable disc seat 19. An electrically controlled telescopic column 38 is fixedly installed at one end inside the mounting slot 33. An mounting screw seat 37 is fixedly installed at the output end of the electrically controlled telescopic column 38. A threaded column 35 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the mounting screw seat 37. A limit nut 36 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded column 35. A machining tool 34 is fixedly installed at the outer end of the threaded column 35. A slag discharge pipe 9 is connected to the bottom of the lower base 2. Several vision acquisition cameras 13 are arranged in a circular pattern on the outer side of the top of the high-precision screw 17.

[0027] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: During use, the operator inserts multiple sets of insulators 15 onto the outside of the feeding friction sleeve 14 using a hydraulic feeding machine. Then, the pin 27 is removed, along with the semi-ring branch pipe 24 and the fastening nut 23. This allows the bottom end of the three-section rotating shaft 16 to be lifted from the break point of the Z-shaped groove 25, and the top end to rotate at the bottom of the flexible limiting sleeve 39. The feeding friction sleeve 14 and the insulators 15 are then fitted onto the outside of the three-section rotating shaft 16, and the three-section rotating shaft 16 is reset at the break point of the Z-shaped groove 25. The fastening nut 23 is then tightened, causing the insulators 15 to press against the opposite surfaces of the top flexible limiting sleeve 39 and the fastening nut 23. The semi-ring branch pipe 24 is then supported at the bottom of the fastening nut 23 to prevent stripping. Inserting the pins 27 installs multiple sets of insulators 15 into place. Then, closing the viewing hatch 4 activates two sets of synchronous hydraulic telescopic columns 11, causing the three-section rotating shaft 16 to move along the sliding groove 32 under the sliding support of the H-shaped annular slide 26. This causes the driven gear 21 to gradually approach and mesh with the transmission chain 22, transmitting the power from the servo drive motor 31 to rotate and drive the transmission chain 22. The driven gear 21 drives the three-section rotating shaft 16 to rotate. The three-section rotating shaft 16 maintains a stable position and rotates under the bearing limit of the bearing assembly 29 inside the H-shaped annular slide 26 and the support of the bearing seat. When the driven gear 21 presses against the transmission chain 22, it causes... The tension gear 30 and the elastic telescopic mechanism 28 are reset, thus ensuring that the transmission chain 22 maintains a stable power output. Other sets of insulators 15 and the three-section rotating shaft 16 can be loaded in the same way. As the three-section rotating shaft 16 rotates, it drives the insulators 15 to rotate. At this time, the servo reduction motor 12 rotates, causing the high-precision screw 17 to rotate, which in turn causes the movable disc seat 19 to move under the sliding limit trajectory of the slide rod 18. This causes the movable disc seat 19 to drive the machining tool 34 to move, and the electrically controlled telescopic column 38 extends, causing the mounting screw seat 37, the threaded column 35 and the machining tool 34 to move synchronously and contact the outer side of the insulator 15, controlling the telescopic position, adapting to the specifications of multiple sets of insulators 15 for grinding and shaping, so that the insulators 15 can be properly ground and shaped. The burrs on the outer side of the insulator body 15 blank are removed and gradually smoothed. The grinding process is repeated several times in groups to gradually shape the material. During the grinding process, the exhaust fan 8 is activated, and the dust is extracted from the opposite sides of the top cover 3 and the housing 1 through the air supply pipe 6 and the dust collector 7. The dust is extracted through the air guide hole of the top positioning ring plate 10 and filtered by the dust collector 7, reducing dust accumulation inside the housing 1 and indirectly extending its service life. When changing tools, the threaded post 35 can be removed from the outside of the threaded seat 37 and replaced with a polishing tool 34. Two separate devices are set up for grinding and polishing operations. After the insulator body 15 on the outside of a set of three-section rotating shafts 16 has finished its work, multiple sets of synchronous hydraulic telescopic columns 11 are moved.This causes the driven gear 21 at the bottom of the three-section rotating shaft 16 to disengage from the transmission chain 22. The operator then opens the viewing door 4, removes the three-section rotating shaft 16, and takes out the loading friction sleeve 14 and insulator body 15 for the next loading process. This method improves efficiency, provides multiple workstations, and increases the efficiency of a single operation, indirectly saving energy and achieving energy conservation.

[0028] In another implementation scheme, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the end of the air supply pipe 6 away from the top cover 3 is connected to a dust collector 7, and the output end of the dust collector 7 is connected to an exhaust fan 8 through a pipe. Several ventilation holes are opened inside the positioning ring plate 10 located at the top of the casing 1.

[0029] The ventilation holes in the positioning ring plate 10 allow the exhaust fan 8 to draw air through the dust collector 7 and the air supply pipe 6. Under the convergence of the top cover 3, a negative pressure is generated inside the casing 1. The airflow enters through the slag discharge pipe 9, thereby extracting the dust and filtering it through the dust collector 7 to reduce overflow.

[0030] In another implementation scheme, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the visible hatch 4 is evenly distributed around the outer side of the housing 1, and the sliding groove 32 is evenly distributed around the inner side of the outer edge of the positioning ring plate 10. The position of the visible hatch 4 corresponds to the position of the sliding groove 32.

[0031] The visible hatch 4 is easy to open and close, making it convenient for operators to inspect, maintain, and replace the contents. The sliding groove 32 consists of a three-section rotating shaft 16 and an H-shaped annular slide 26, which are limited by sliding positions, thereby increasing the ease of use of the structure. The overall structure occupies less space and increases the processing station, indirectly improving efficiency. A single person can operate the equipment, enabling batch loading and unloading.

[0032] In another implementation scheme, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, two sets of synchronous hydraulic telescopic columns 11 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the housing 1 and the lower base 2, respectively. The sets of synchronous hydraulic telescopic columns 11 are evenly distributed in a circle on the inner side of the housing 1. The sets of synchronous hydraulic telescopic columns 11 are one set above the other, which synchronously cause the H-shaped annular slide 26 and the three-section rotating shaft 16 to move inside the sliding groove 32.

[0033] Multiple sets of synchronous hydraulic telescopic columns 11 connected by the same three-section rotating shaft 16 form a group. The synchronous telescopic movement of a group causes the three-section rotating shaft 16 to move synchronously, making the structure relatively stable, easy to leave the power zone, easy to adjust the position, and convenient for coordinated operation.

[0034] In another implementation scheme, such as Figures 1-7As shown, the three-section rotating shaft 16 is distributed in three sections. The top section and the middle section are hinged and rotatably connected. The middle section and the bottom section are separated by a Z-shaped groove 25. The Z-shaped groove 25 is located on the opposite side of the fastening nut 23 and the H-shaped annular slide 26. The bottom end of the three-section rotating shaft 16 is slidably installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the lower base 2 through a bearing seat.

[0035] The three-section rotating shaft 16 has a three-section structure. The upper and middle sections are hinged, and the lower and middle sections are separated by a Z-shaped groove 25. The Z-shaped groove 25 enables a concave-convex insertion structure, which allows the three-section rotating shaft 16 to rotate and be disassembled, facilitating structural maintenance. It is also supported by three-section multi-point bearings and bearing seats to ensure structural stability and improve the performance.

[0036] In another implementation scheme, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the flexible limiting sleeve 39 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the top of the three-section rotating shaft 16. The insulator body 15 is linearly and evenly distributed on the outer side of the feeding friction sleeve 14. The top of the insulator body 15 is pressed and contacted with the bottom of the flexible limiting sleeve 39, and the bottom of the insulator body 15 is pressed and contacted with the top of the fastening nut 23. Flexible friction layers are provided on both the inner and outer sides of the feeding friction sleeve 14. The top of the semi-ring branch pipe 24 is pressed and contacted with the bottom of the fastening nut 23. The semi-ring branch pipe 24 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the three-section rotating shaft 16. The high-precision screw 17 movably passes through the interior of the three-section rotating shaft 16, the Z-shaped groove 25, and the pin 27.

[0037] To facilitate disassembly and assembly of the three-section rotating shaft 16 at the break point and rotation for loading, the pin 27 is removed, and the semi-ring branch pipe 24 and fastening nut 23 are removed, thereby lifting the bottom end of the three-section rotating shaft 16 from the break point of the Z-shaped groove 25. The top end is rotated at the bottom of the flexible limiting sleeve 39, and the feeding friction sleeve 14 and insulator body 15 are fitted onto the outside of the three-section rotating shaft 16. The three-section rotating shaft 16 is then reset at the break point of the Z-shaped groove 25. The fastening nut 23 is then tightened, causing the insulator body 15 to press against the opposite surfaces of the top flexible limiting sleeve 39 and the fastening nut 23. The semi-ring branch pipe 24 is then supported at the bottom of the fastening nut 23 to prevent slippage. Finally, the pin 27 is inserted to install multiple sets of insulator bodies 15.

[0038] In another implementation scheme, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the top and bottom ends of the positioning gear set 20 are rotatably mounted on the bottom of the positioning ring plate 10 and the bottom of the inner cavity of the lower base 2 respectively through bearing seats. The elastic telescopic mechanism 28 and the tensioning gear 30 are evenly distributed in a circle on the outside of the transmission chain 22. The opposite ends of the elastic telescopic mechanism 28 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the lower base 2. The positioning gear set 20 and the driven gear 21 are evenly distributed in a circle.

[0039] The positioning gear set 20 is a fixed limit gear set, which ensures the stable position of the transmission chain 22. It is combined with the elastic telescopic mechanism 28 and the tensioning gear 30 to keep the transmission chain 22 in the working position and connect with the driven gear 21 for transmission, and ensures the relative stability of the structure. The disengagement of a set of driven gears 21 will not affect the normal operation of other components, which facilitates the stable use of the structure.

[0040] In another implementation scheme, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the servo geared motor 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the positioning ring plate 10 at the top of the housing 1. The top of the high-precision screw 17 passes through the interior of the positioning ring plate 10 at the top of the housing 1 via a bearing. The bottom of the high-precision screw 17 is rotatably supported on the top of the positioning ring plate 10 at the bottom of the housing 1 via a bearing seat. The top and bottom of the slide rod 18 are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the positioning ring plate 10. The slide rod 18 is evenly distributed in a circle on the outside of the high-precision screw 17.

[0041] The rotation of the servo geared motor 12 causes the high-precision screw 17 to rotate, which in turn causes the movable disc seat 19 to maintain a linear motion position through the slide rod 18 via the threaded connection, ensuring the stability of the feed position of the movable disc seat 19. The bearing and bearing seat support of the high-precision screw 17 ensure structural stability, and the circumferentially distributed slide rod 18 maintains a stable position and structural strength, facilitating structural transmission. The structure provides redundant space for improvement of the movable disc seat 19. If cutting and polishing operations need to be performed simultaneously, the movable disc seat 19 can be changed to an actively rotatable disc structure. The inner side of the movable disc seat 19 is connected to the high-precision screw 17 and slide rod 18 to ensure basic feed and linear displacement. The outer side is a rotatable turntable, which drives the outer mounting groove 33 and machining tool 34 to rotate. The machining tool 34 is set as two sets of circumferentially intersecting structures, one set for milling and the other set for polishing. It can be switched by actively rotating a specific angle, which provides redundant space for solution upgrades and equipment improvements, and is easy to use.

[0042] In another implementation scheme, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the outer side of the mounting screw seat 37 is slidably connected to the toothed groove on the inner side of the mounting groove 33 via a rack. The machining tool 34 includes a milling cutter and a polishing ball. The mounting groove 33 and the machining tool 34 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer side of the movable disc seat 19. The position of the machining tool 34 corresponds perpendicularly to the position of the three-section rotating shaft 16. The limiting nut 36 and the opposite side of the mounting screw seat 37 are in contact with each other.

[0043] The mounting screw seat 37 is slidably connected to the mounting groove 33 via a slide bar and a slide groove to ensure that the machining tool 34 is under stable force and to avoid deviation. The two types of machining tools 34 are easy to disassemble and replace, allowing the equipment to have different tool working states and facilitating replacement and maintenance. The threaded column 35 is rotated and screwed into the interior of the mounting screw seat 37, and contacts the mounting screw seat 37 through the tightening of the limit nut 36, ensuring stable installation and facilitating tool replacement and disassembly and maintenance, indirectly increasing the effectiveness of use.

[0044] In another implementation scheme, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the visual acquisition camera 13 is fixedly installed in a circular shape at the bottom of the positioning ring plate 10 at the top of the housing 1. The lens of the visual acquisition camera 13 is coated with a non-stick coating. The intelligent control panel 5 is fixedly installed on the outside of the housing 1.

[0045] The visual acquisition camera 13 is used to capture images of the work process, facilitating control of the equipment after image acquisition. The lens of the visual acquisition camera 13 is equipped with a non-stick layer to reduce dust adhesion, lower maintenance frequency, and minimize the impact on the images. The visual acquisition camera 13, in conjunction with the insulator body 15, captures images of loading positioning, processing contours, and appearance defects in real time. These signals are uniformly transmitted to the intelligent control panel 5 for analysis and workpiece positioning calibration. In the additional intelligent implementation scheme, a displacement stroke sensor is also included, matching multiple sets of synchronous hydraulic telescopic columns 11, electrically controlled telescopic columns 38, high-precision screws 17, slide rods 18, and H-shaped annular slides 26. It employs grating rulers, proximity switches, and tooling / cutting tool 34 to measure feed displacement and sliding stroke. A motor speed / torque encoder sensor is integrated inside the servo geared motor 12, servo drive motor 31, three-section rotary shaft 16, and movable disc base 19 to collect the operating speed and load torque of the main shaft and transmission gear set, transmitting this data back to the panel in real time. It integrates air pressure and dust concentration sensors, connecting to the air supply pipe 6, dust collector 7, and exhaust fan 8 to monitor the air supply pressure and dust concentration inside the machine, providing data for automatic adjustment of the dust removal system. Limit photoelectric sensors identify the extreme positions of the carriage, cutter, and telescopic mechanism, transmitting overtravel signals directly to the panel to trigger protection. Temperature sensors monitor the operating temperature of the support bearing assembly 29 and the servo motor, uploading high-temperature signals to the panel for alarm. A chain tension sensor, along with tension gear 30 and transmission chain 22, detects the tightness of the transmission mechanism and feeds feedback to the panel for automatic adjustment of the transmission status. The intelligent control panel 5 incorporates an intelligent control system unit. Firstly, the main control and computing unit, the central control unit, aggregates all sensor signals, processes machining data, issues drive commands, and stores processing parameters for insulators of different specifications. Secondly, the servo motion control unit manages the movable disc base 19, servo geared motor 12, servo drive motor 31, and electrically controlled telescopic column 38, precisely controlling insulator rotation, cutter feed, and carriage movement speed and position to achieve precision cutting. Third, the hydraulic synchronization control unit specifically drives multiple sets of synchronous hydraulic telescopic columns 11, and adjusts the synchronous telescopic amount of each set of hydraulic rods in a closed loop to stabilize the position of the insulator. Fourth, the vision processing control unit analyzes the images captured by the vision acquisition camera 13, automatically identifies insulator clamping deviations and surface defects, and autonomously corrects the tool machining trajectory. Fifth, the dust removal airflow control unit links the dust collector 7, exhaust fan 8, and air supply pipe 6, and automatically adjusts the fan power and air supply flow based on dust and air pressure sensor data. Sixth, the electric telescopic actuator unit controls the electric telescopic column 38 and the elastic telescopic mechanism 28 to complete tooling locking, tool fine-tuning, and workpiece auxiliary positioning actions. Seventh, the transmission adjustment control unit adjusts the operating status of the tension gear 30 and the transmission chain 22 in real time, calibrates the transmission speed of the three-section rotating shaft 16, and avoids slippage and jamming.8. Safety protection control unit: Integrates various alarm signals such as limit switches, pressure sensors, temperature sensors, and material shortage sensors. In case of abnormalities such as overpressure, overtravel, overheating, excessive dust, or no workpiece, it immediately stops the structure's operation and displays an alarm and shutdown message on the panel. 9. Human-machine interface process adjustment unit: A touch-screen operation module that supports manual modification of process parameters such as cutting speed, clamping pressure, and feed stroke, and switching between different insulator processing steps. 10. Fault diagnosis unit: Automatically categorizes and stores abnormal sensor data from various mechanisms, and intuitively displays the corresponding faulty components (hydraulic, servo, vision, dust removal, limit switches, etc.) on the panel, assisting in equipment maintenance.
