Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insulating tool testing technology, and in particular to an insulating tool drying device. Background Technology

[0002] In the daily operations of power companies, insulating tools are used frequently and in large quantities, such as insulating gloves and insulating boots. These are essential safety tools in the power industry, and their insulation performance is directly related to the safety of operators. Therefore, regular preventive safety inspections of insulating tools are crucial.

[0003] Currently, the insulation performance testing method for insulating tools involves injecting a certain amount of water and then placing them in a water-filled container for a withstand voltage test. After the test, both the inner and outer surfaces of the insulating tools are wet. If the tested insulating tools are returned directly to the operators, it will directly endanger the lives of the operators and the safety of the equipment. Therefore, insulating tools need to be air-dried.

[0004] Natural air drying has a long cycle and is not suitable for soft, non-vertical insulating tools. Therefore, it needs to be used in conjunction with a drying device. However, current drying devices on the market mainly have the following problems: First, low drying efficiency; the drying time and quantity cannot meet the needs of emergency rotation. Second, the fixed length of the support for insulating tools results in low adaptability of the drying device when drying insulating tools of different lengths, affecting tool placement and drying efficiency. Third, large footprint; by laying all insulating tools flat, the space occupied by the drying device is greatly increased, making the already limited operating space even more cramped. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air-drying device for insulating tools, which aims to solve the problems of low drying efficiency, low adaptability of air-drying devices, and large footprint in traditional air-drying methods.

[0011] When the length of the insulating tool is greater than the length of the first drying part, the second drying part extends along the inner wall of the first drying part, and the first limiting part and the second limiting part are adapted to each other.

[0012] Preferably, the distribution positions of the plurality of first drying holes in the first drying section correspond to the distribution positions of the plurality of second drying holes in the second drying section. When the second drying section is located inside the first drying section, the plurality of first drying holes and the plurality of second drying holes overlap.

[0013] Preferably, the drying assembly further includes a sealing cap connected to a second end of the first drying section, the sealing cap being used to seal the second end of the first drying section.

[0014] Preferably, the top of the base is provided with a guide plate, the fixed bracket is fixedly connected to the guide plate, and a guide groove is formed on the guide plate.

[0034] Combination Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an air-drying device for insulating tools, including a base 1, a fixed bracket 2, a drying component 3, and an air supply device 4. The fixed bracket 2 is disposed on the top of the base 1, the drying component 3 is disposed on the fixed bracket 2, the outlet end of the air supply device 4 is connected to a main pipeline, the main pipeline is connected to multiple branch pipelines, and the branch pipelines are correspondingly connected to the drying component 3. The drying component 3 includes a first drying part 31 and a second drying part 32. The first drying part 31 and the second drying part 32 are correspondingly disposed and movably connected. The first end of the first drying part 31 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the fixed bracket 2. The first drying part 31 is connected to the branch pipelines. The side of the first drying part 31 is provided with multiple first drying holes 31a, and the side of the second drying part 32 is provided with multiple second drying holes 32a. The base 1 serves as the base of the drying device, supporting the fixed support 2. The specific structure of the base 1 and its positional relationship with the air supply device 4 are not limited. Optionally, the base 1 can be a platform structure with the fixed support 2 mounted on it. The outlet of the air supply device 4 connects to the main pipeline, which passes through the base 1 and connects to the fixed support 2. Alternatively, the base 1 can be a box structure with the air supply device 4 integrated inside, connected to the fixed support 2 via the main pipeline. The specific layout of the main pipeline and branch pipelines within the drying device is not limited. The main pipeline can be divided into multiple branch pipelines within the fixed support 2, with each branch pipeline corresponding to a drying component 3. Alternatively, the main pipeline can be directly divided into multiple branch pipelines within the base 1, with each branch pipeline then connecting to the drying components 3 via the fixed support 2, thus supplying air to multiple drying components 3. The gas is blown out through the drying holes and the top of the drying components 3, increasing the airflow and reducing the drying time, thus completing the drying of the insulated tools placed on the drying components 3.

[0035] It should be noted that the number of drying components 3 is not limited here. Multiple drying components 3 can be installed on the fixed bracket 2 according to the drying requirements of the insulating tools. The specific shape of the fixed bracket 2 is also not limited; it can be columnar or conical, etc. In a preferred embodiment, the fixed bracket 2 is columnar, with multiple drying components 3 arranged alternately around its perimeter. Specifically, the multiple drying components 3 can be arranged in multiple groups, with each group located at the same height on the fixed bracket 2. Adjacent groups of drying components 3 are arranged alternately. This arrangement fully utilizes the space around the fixed bracket 2, providing more drying components 3 without causing adhesion between the insulating tools, enabling more insulating tools to dry simultaneously and improving drying efficiency. The specific connection method between the drying components 3 and the fixed bracket 2 is not limited here; it can be achieved through screwing, snap-fitting, or directly welding the first end of the drying component 3 to the fixed bracket 2. The drying component 3 is set at a predetermined angle to the fixed bracket 2. This predetermined angle ensures the stable placement of the insulating tool and makes the opening of the insulating tool face downwards. Drying gas is blown out from the drying component 3 and the gas is led out along the opening of the insulating tool, thereby enabling the drying treatment of the surface of the surrounding insulating tool.

[0036] The specific method of the movable connection between the first drying section 31 and the second drying section 32 is not limited here. It can be achieved through screwing, snap-fitting, or other methods. When the first drying section 31 can meet the drying requirements for insulated tools, the second drying section 32 can be detached from the first drying section 31 or stored inside it. In a preferred embodiment, the second drying section 32 is retractably disposed inside the first drying section 31, with its first end slidably connected to the inner wall of the first drying section 31. This arrangement facilitates the storage of the second drying section 32, saves space, and simplifies the connection operation between the first and second drying sections 31. When the length of the first drying section 31 is sufficient to meet the drying requirements of the insulating tool, the second drying section 32 is housed inside the first drying section 31. In this case, the first drying hole 31a on the first drying section 31 and the second end of the first drying section 31 serve as air-drying channels to complete the drying process of the insulating tool. When the length of the first drying section 31 is insufficient to meet the drying requirements of the insulating tool, the second drying section 32 is pulled out from inside the first drying section 31 to increase the length of the drying assembly 3. It should be noted that the specific structure of the first drying section 31 and the second drying section 32 is not limited here. The first drying section 31 only needs to be able to accommodate the second drying section 32 and allow the second drying section 32 to slide within the first drying section 31. This design allows the drying assembly 3 to be applied to insulating tools of different sizes, preventing the insulating tool from bending and sticking to the first drying section 31 due to its limited length, thus affecting drying efficiency.

[0037] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, the second end of the first drying section 31 is provided with a first limiting part 31b, and the first end of the second drying section 32 is provided with a second limiting part 32b. When the length of the insulating tool is greater than the length of the first drying section 31, the second drying section 32 extends along the inner wall of the first drying section 31, and the first limiting part 31b and the second limiting part 32b are adapted to each other. With this arrangement, the first limiting part 31b and the second limiting part 32b cooperate to ensure that the position of the second drying section 32 inside the first drying section 31 is fixed, and at the same time, to ensure the connection strength between the first drying section 31 and the second drying section 32 after the second drying section 32 extends out of the first drying section 31, so that the drying assembly 3 can support the insulating tool and complete the air-drying work of the insulating tool. The specific structure of the first limiting part 31b and the second limiting part 32b is not limited here; in optional cases, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the first limiting part 31b and the second limiting part 32b are configured as matching protrusions and grooves. When the second drying part 32 extends from the first drying part 31, the protruding part of the first limiting part 31b and the groove of the second limiting part 32b are fitted together to secure the second drying part 32. In another optional case, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first limiting part 31b and the second limiting part 32b are configured as a matching circular hole and a limiting ball. When the second drying part 32 slides along the first drying part 31, the limiting ball plays a supporting role and reduces friction. When the second drying part 32 extends to the predetermined position, the limiting ball extends out of the circular hole to complete the limiting connection.

[0038] The specific shape of the plurality of first drying holes 31a and the plurality of second drying holes 32a is not limited here; in optional cases, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the plurality of first drying holes 31a and the plurality of second drying holes 32a can be circular holes distributed in the first drying section 31 and the second drying section 32; in another optional case, such as Figure 4As shown, multiple first drying holes 31a and multiple second drying holes 32a are configured as multiple rows of rectangular air holes. The arrangement of the multiple first drying holes 31a and multiple second drying holes 32a is not limited here, as long as it satisfies the requirement of ventilation and drying. Multiple first drying holes 31a and multiple second drying holes 32a are opened circumferentially in the first drying section 31 and the second drying section 32, allowing the drying path to face multiple directions inside the insulating tool, improving drying efficiency. Simultaneously, an air outlet is formed on the side of the insulating tool near the fixed bracket 2, enabling the drying of the surfaces of other insulating tools in the vicinity, further enhancing the drying effect. In a preferred embodiment, the distribution positions of the multiple first drying holes 31a in the first drying section 31 correspond to the distribution positions of the multiple second drying holes 32a in the second drying section 32. When the second drying section 32 is located within the first drying section 31, the multiple first drying holes 31a and multiple second drying holes 32a overlap. With this arrangement, when the second drying section 32 is housed inside the first drying section 31, the multiple first drying holes 31a and the multiple second drying holes 32a overlap, which is beneficial to the exhaust effect of the first drying section 31, saving space without affecting the drying effect.

[0039] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, the drying assembly 3 further includes a sealing cap 33, which is connected to the second end of the first drying section 31. The sealing cap 33 is used to seal the second end of the first drying section 31. With this arrangement, when fewer insulating tools are being dried simultaneously than the drying assembly 3, the sealing cap 33 seals the second end of the first drying section 31, preventing air from escaping from the top of the idle first drying section 31, thus saving energy. At the same time, the first drying hole 31a on the idle first drying section 31 can blow air towards the surface of surrounding insulating tools, improving the drying efficiency of surrounding insulating tools and avoiding waste of air volume. The connection relationship between the sealing cap 33 and the second end of the first drying section 31 is not limited here. The sealing cap 33 can be fixed to the second end of the first drying section 31 by setting a connecting hinge. When sealing is required, the sealing cap 33 is rotated to seal the first drying section 31.

[0040] Union Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the top of the base 1 is provided with a guide plate 11, and the fixed bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the guide plate 11. A guide groove 11a is formed on the guide plate 11. Preferably, the guide plate 11 is inclined towards the guide groove 11a. With this arrangement, during the placement of the insulating tool, the guide plate 11, in conjunction with the guide groove 11a, collects and discharges any liquid spilled from the insulating tool, preventing liquid leakage from contaminating the device and affecting its normal operation. The specific location and discharge method of the drain outlet of the guide groove 11a are not limited here; the liquid can be discharged to a designated area by connecting a drain pipe to one end of the guide groove 11a.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, when the base 1 is configured as a box structure, the air supply device 4 is located inside the base 1, and a base plate 13 is provided inside the base 1, with the air supply device 4 fixedly connected to the base plate 13. This configuration integrates the air supply device 4 inside the base 1, saving space in the entire device. Simultaneously, the box structure of the base 1 protects the air supply device 4 from contamination and external interference. The integrated design also facilitates the overall movement of the device, improving its overall stability and reducing the risk of tipping over during movement. Furthermore, the device is cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing, and more convenient to use. In this preferred embodiment, the air supply device 4 employs a silent air compressor, effectively reducing noise pollution caused by traditional blowers.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the base 1 includes a side plate 12, which connects to the base plate 13 and the guide plate 11, forming an operating chamber for the air supply device 4 within the base 1. An air inlet 12a is formed on the side plate 12. With this arrangement, the side plate 12 and the guide plate 11 form a chamber within the base 1, where the air supply device 4 is located, and the air inlet 12a serves to provide ventilation. The specific arrangement of the air inlet 12a is not limited here; it can be arranged on opposing side plates 12, or it can be provided on each side plate 12.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the device further includes rollers 5, which are disposed at the bottom of the base 1. The rollers 5 facilitate flexible movement of the device. Preferably, the rollers 5 are omnidirectional wheels with built-in locking. With this configuration, the device moves easily, and after the device has moved to the designated position, the overall stability of the device can be ensured by locking the rollers 5.
