Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to power equipment, specifically to production equipment for hollow composite insulators. Background Art

[0002] Hollow composite insulators are used in AC / DC power grid projects. As an important component of electrical equipment, hollow composite insulators mainly bear various electrical and mechanical stresses, and their reliability is crucial to the safe and reliable operation of the equipment itself. Hollow composite insulators mainly consist of a silicone rubber sheath, an insulating tube, and a metal flange. The metal flange and the insulating tube are usually bonded together using an adhesive structure. The mechanical properties of the hollow composite insulator mainly depend on the strength of the insulating tube and the connection design between the insulating tube and the flange.

[0003] Currently, the existing technical solution on the market requires two binding clamps, four binding rods, and nuts for fixing one product. During fixing, the four corners of the binding clamps must be measured to ensure consistent dimensions, thereby guaranteeing the parallelism of the metal flanges. After clamping, the product is hoisted into a binding oven for heat curing. Figure 1 As shown.

[0004] The disadvantages of the existing technology are: each specification of product requires two gluing fixtures and four gluing tie rods for gluing, and four sets need to be made at the same time for mass production; during the gluing process, the four gluing tie rods are locked manually, and the locking force cannot be balanced, so the parallelism of the product cannot be guaranteed; after curing one end of the metal flange, it needs to be lifted out of the oven, turned around and then the other end of the metal flange is cured; non-standard long specifications of products are inconvenient to clamp and require the assistance of crane transportation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model is that traditional batch gluing production of products involves multiple sets of gluing fixtures and drying ovens, which are complicated and cumbersome to install. The parallelism of the products is inaccurate, the clamping force cannot be quantified, and the processing cost is increased due to repeated turning and transportation after curing.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a press-fitting machine for interference fit installation of hollow composite insulator flanges, comprising a horizontal main frame, a moving trolley and a lifting mechanism. The horizontal main frame is provided with a horizontal guide rail, and the moving trolley is movably fitted with the horizontal guide rail. The moving trolley includes a first moving trolley and a second moving trolley. The first moving trolley is provided with a first pressing plate, and the second moving trolley is provided with a second pressing plate. The first pressing plate and the second pressing plate are arranged facing each other, and a plurality of lifting mechanisms are located between the first moving trolley and the second moving trolley.

[0007] According to the above technical solution, the insulating tube is supported by several lifting mechanisms and lies horizontally between a first moving trolley and a second moving trolley. Metal flanges are installed at both ends of the insulating tube. The first moving trolley moves towards the first end of the insulating tube, and a first pressing plate acts on the metal flange at the first end of the insulating tube. The second moving trolley moves towards the second end of the insulating tube, and a second pressing plate acts on the metal flange at the second end of the insulating tube. Adhesive is injected into the injection holes on the metal flanges, and the adhesive is injected into the adhesive groove between the metal flanges and the insulating tube, bonding the metal flanges and the insulating tube. With a high-precision horizontal guide rail, the several lifting mechanisms, in conjunction with a pair of pressing plates, ensure the coaxiality of the insulating tube and the metal flanges.

[0008] The first moving trolley is connected to the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder, which is located at one end of the horizontal main frame. Driven by the hydraulic cylinder, a pair of piston rods drive the first moving trolley to move towards the metal flange at the beginning of the insulating tube.

[0009] The first moving trolley is equipped with several first rollers on both sides, and the first rollers cooperate with the horizontal guide rail.

[0010] The first moving trolley is equipped with a rotary motor, which drives a driven pulley via a transmission belt. The driven pulley is coaxially fixed to the first pressing plate, which is pivotally connected to the first moving trolley. Driven by the rotary motor, the transmission belt drives the driven pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the first pressing plate to rotate synchronously, thereby achieving the desired installation angle of the aluminum flanges at both ends of the product.

[0011] The first moving trolley is equipped with a first glue injection and cooling mechanism. Glue is pressed into the first glue injection and cooling mechanism and then injected into the glue injection hole on the metal flange at the head end of the insulating tube.

[0012] The second moving trolley has several second rollers on both sides, and driven sprockets are mounted on the shafts of the second rollers. The driven sprockets are connected to a drive motor via a transmission chain, and the drive motor is mounted on the bottom of the second moving trolley. Driven by the drive motor, the transmission chain drives the driven sprockets, which in turn drive the second roller shafts and the second rollers, causing the second moving trolley to move along a horizontal guide rail.

[0013] The second moving trolley is equipped with a second glue injection and cooling mechanism. The glue is pressed into the second glue injection and cooling mechanism and then injected into the glue injection hole on the metal flange at the tail end of the insulating tube.

[0014] For products of different specifications, all rollers and guide rails of the mobile trolley must be heat-treated to ensure that they can withstand the load (≤20T) during operation and have wear resistance.

[0015] Each lifting mechanism includes a U-shaped bracket, a first vertical lead screw mechanism located on one side of the U-shaped bracket, and a second vertical lead screw mechanism located on the other side of the U-shaped bracket. The lead screws of the first and second vertical lead screw mechanisms are connected by a synchronous belt. The lead screw of the first vertical lead screw mechanism is connected to a lifting motor, which is mounted on the U-shaped bracket. The two ends of the lifting beam are connected to the lead screw nuts of the first and second vertical lead screw mechanisms. V-blocks are provided on the lifting beam. The lifting motor drives the lead screw of the first vertical lead screw mechanism to rotate, and this lead screw drives the lead screw of the second vertical lead screw mechanism to rotate via the synchronous belt. The two lead screw mechanisms synchronously drive the lifting beam to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height and level of the insulating tube.

[0016] The U-shaped bracket has pulleys on both sides, which cooperate with slide rails. The slide rails are mounted on the horizontal main frame, and the pulleys are connected to a displacement motor, which is mounted on the U-shaped bracket. Driven by the displacement motor, the pulleys move along the slide rails, driving the entire lifting mechanism to move along the slide rails, thereby adjusting the lifting position of the lifting mechanism on the insulating tube.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical advantages:

[0018] First, the pressure packing tray has strong compatibility and is suitable for the gluing of products of different specifications.

[0019] Second, each pressing plate is equipped with an electromagnetic induction heating coil, and the metal flanges at both ends of the product can be heated and cured simultaneously.

[0020] Third, the hydraulic cylinder and piston rod replace the glued tie rod nut locking connection method, ensuring parallelism and balanced pressing force;

[0021] Fourth, multiple lifting mechanisms ensure the coaxiality of the insulating tube and the metal flange, and the protection of the end face of the insulating tube is improved during the pressing process.

[0022] This invention utilizes guide rails and hydraulic cylinders to control the movement of a pressing plate with electromagnetic induction heating, eliminating the need for parallelism measurement. Furthermore, the applied clamping force is adjustable, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality. Attached Figure Description
