Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of insulating basin grinding, in particular to a fully automatic insulating basin grinding device based on visual guidance. Background Art

[0002] The current insulating basin, i.e., basin insulator, generally includes a central electrode insert in the form of a rotating body and a basin body formed by epoxy resin casting, wherein the inner and outer end surfaces of the central electrode insert are generally provided with a conductor mounting structure for matching with the corresponding connecting conductor, such as a threaded hole or a fastener through-hole, and there are more than two threaded holes or fastener through-holes. The insulating basin can be divided into two forms according to whether the central electrode insert is through-through, one is a through-type insulating basin with a through hole in the center of the central electrode insert, such as a high-voltage basin insulator with a metal insert disclosed in a Chinese patent with an authorization announcement number of CN203746591U and an authorization announcement date of 2014.07.30; the other is a closed insulating basin with a small end of the insulating basin closed by a central electrode insert, such as a basin insulator disclosed in a Chinese patent with an application number of CN102842394B and an authorization announcement date of 2015.03.25.

[0003] Due to the presence of the center electrode insert, burrs often appear at the junction of the basin body and the center electrode insert when the epoxy resin is poured to form the basin body. For insulating basins with higher voltage levels, especially UHV insulating basins, the current passing through the center electrode insert is large and the electric field is strong, which places stringent requirements on the insulation performance. Therefore, the burrs around the electrode must be processed after the secondary curing of the product, and good work quality must be guaranteed. In the prior art, most of the processing of the above burrs is done manually with files and sandpaper, which is inefficient, poor in quality, and unstable in quality, seriously affecting the yield and delivery time of the insulating basin. In addition, the hardness of epoxy resin and ceramic polymer makes grinding more difficult. Therefore, the utility model provides a fully automatic insulating basin grinding device based on visual guidance to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
