Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insulator cleaning technology, specifically to an automatic cleaning device for power insulators. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of society and economy and the rapid advancement of modern technology, the safety and reliability of power systems have become particularly important. Insulators, as an indispensable component of power equipment, are mainly used to support conductors and prevent current leakage. However, dust on the surface of insulators can lead to a decline in their electrical performance, increasing the risk of tripping and faults. To ensure the safe operation of power systems, insulator cleaning devices have been developed.
[0003] However, traditional cleaning devices often use a single fixed brush for wiping, which leaves many cleaning blind spots. This forces operators to constantly change positions and postures to clean, resulting in high workload and low efficiency. Furthermore, traditional devices lack effective control over the dust collected during the cleaning process. This dust may remain on the insulator surface or re-adhere, significantly reducing the cleaning effect. At the same time, dust can fly around and spread into the atmosphere during cleaning, causing serious pollution to the work site environment, endangering the health of operators, and potentially having adverse effects on the surrounding environment and air quality.

[0048] During the dust removal process of cleaning component 3, the dust pump 203 is activated by the controller 6, and the suction head 205 is used by the corrugated hose 204 to absorb the dust swept down by cleaning component 3. In this way, it can effectively prevent dust from remaining or re-attaching on the surface of the insulator, effectively ensuring the cleanliness and insulation performance of the insulator, and significantly improving the safety of the working environment, allowing operators to work under more reliable and safe conditions. The dust is collected and processed in the collection box 202, successfully preventing it from spreading into the atmosphere, fully in line with the concept of environmental protection, reducing the adverse impact on the surrounding environment and air quality, and demonstrating environmental benefits.
[0049] The output end of the servo motor 303 is fixedly connected to the middle of the drive gear 304. The air inlet of the dust pump 203 is connected to the corrugated hose 204. The upper end of the corrugated hose 204 passes through the collection seat 4 and is connected to the rear end of the suction head 205. The servo motor 303 transmits power to the drive gear 304, thereby driving the entire cleaning transmission system to operate in an orderly manner and cleaning the insulator. The connection design of the dust pump 203, the corrugated hose 204 and the suction head 205 can remove dust in time while cleaning, ensuring the cleanliness of the insulator surface, preventing secondary dust pollution, and effectively improving the cleaning quality and the cleanliness of the working environment.
[0050] The electric telescopic rod 1 is fixedly connected to the fixed rod 5 and the threaded handle 7. The threaded handle 7 has a battery block 8 inside. The stable connection between the electric telescopic rod 1 and the fixed rod 5 provides a stable and reliable structural support for the cleaning device, which can adapt to the cleaning needs of insulators of different heights. The battery block 8 inside the threaded handle 7 can easily power the entire device, get rid of the limitation of external power source, improve the portability and flexibility of the device, and enable it to work smoothly in various complex field operation environments.
[0051] The connecting rod 307 and the universal joint 305 are located in and pass through the connecting groove 402. The connecting groove 402 provides stable guidance and limiting for the movement of the connecting rod 307 and the universal joint 305, ensuring that when the driven gear 302 rotates, the brush seat 306 at the front end of the connecting rod 307 can rotate and clean according to a predetermined trajectory and angle. The air outlet of the vacuum pump 203 is connected to the upper part of the connecting box 201 through a pipe. The front end of the connecting box 201 is slidably connected to the collection box 202. The vacuum pump 203 discharges the dust-laden air into the connecting box 201 through the pipe. The connecting box 201 plays a transition and buffer role, while the collection box 202 slidably connected at the front end is convenient for collecting dust, making it easy to clean and replace.
[0052] A controller 6 is installed on the lower part of one side of the outer wall of the electric telescopic rod 1. The adsorption components 2 are located inside the collection seat 4 and outside the electric telescopic rod 1. The controller 6 is located on the outer wall of the electric telescopic rod 1 for easy operation by the operator, and can conveniently control the cleaning and vacuuming functions of the device, improving the ease of operation. The interior of the connecting groove 402 is connected to the interior of the rotating groove 403. The inner ring of the collection seat 4 near the rotating groove 403 is provided with a slot 404, which is connected to the interior of the rotating groove 403. Multiple balls 405 are provided inside the slot 404. The balls 405 are in contact with the outer wall of the connecting gear 301. The through design of the connecting groove 402 and the rotating groove 403 ensures the continuity and stability of the transmission components such as the driven gear 302 and the connecting gear 301 during rotation, making the power transmission smoother. The balls 405 in the slot 404 are in contact with the outer wall of the connecting gear 301, which effectively reduces the friction when the connecting gear 301 rotates.
[0053] All three driven gears 302 correspond to the connecting grooves 402. The outer walls of the driven gears 302 and the driving gear 304 mesh with the outer wall of the connecting gear 301. The corresponding arrangement of the driven gears 302 and the connecting grooves 402, as well as the meshing relationship between each gear, ensures that the power of the servo motor 303 can be evenly and stably distributed to each driven gear 302, thereby driving multiple brush holders 306 to rotate and clean synchronously and in a coordinated manner.
[0054] Working principle: First, align the front end of the collection seat 4, which is made of insulating material, with the insulator, and the operator starts the device through the controller 6 on the lower side of the outer wall of the electric telescopic rod 1;
[0055] In terms of cleaning, the controller 6 starts the servo motor 303 in the rear rotating groove 403 inside the collection seat 4. The servo motor 303 drives the drive gear 304 to rotate. The drive gear 304 meshes with the connecting gear 301, causing the connecting gear 301 to rotate. The connecting gear 301 then drives the three driven gears 302 that mesh with it to rotate. The universal joint 305 in the middle of the driven gear 302 rotates with the driven gear 302, which in turn drives the connecting rod 307 to rotate. The brush seat 306 fixed at the front end of the connecting rod 307 then starts to rotate to clean the insulator. During the cleaning process, the position of the brush seat 306 can be flexibly adjusted by moving the electric telescopic rod 1 to achieve the cleaning of the insulator.
[0056] Simultaneously, during dust removal, the controller 6 activates the dust pump 203. The air inlet of the dust pump 203 is connected to the suction head 205 in the collection groove 401 at the front end of the collection seat 4 via a corrugated hose 204. The air outlet is connected to the upper part of the connection box 201 made of insulating material via a pipe. The front end of the connection box 201 is slidably connected to the collection box 202. When the dust pump 203 is working, the suction head 205 can absorb the dust swept down by the cleaning component 3. The dust is sucked in through the corrugated hose 204 and finally collected in the collection box 202. This not only prevents dust from remaining or re-attaching on the surface of the insulator, ensuring the cleanliness and insulation performance of the insulator, and improving the safety of the working environment, allowing operators to work under more reliable conditions, but also successfully prevents dust from spreading into the atmosphere, which is in line with the concept of environmental protection, reduces the adverse impact on the surrounding environment and air quality, and demonstrates environmental benefits. The entire device achieves efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly cleaning of insulators while the transmission line is energized through the coordinated work of its various components.
