Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic cleaning devices, and more specifically, to an automatic cleaning device for insulators of power transmission lines. Background Technology
[0002] An insulator is a special type of insulating component that plays a crucial role in overhead power transmission lines. In the past, insulators were primarily used on utility poles. Gradually, they evolved into disc-shaped insulators hung at one end of high-voltage power line towers to increase creepage distance. These are typically made of glass or ceramic and are called insulators. After production, insulators require cleaning using specialized equipment.
[0003] Existing devices for cleaning insulators clean many insulators together, which can easily cause them to collide and be damaged during the cleaning process. Therefore, we provide an automatic cleaning device for transmission line insulators. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic cleaning device for transmission line insulators to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] Some existing devices for cleaning insulators clean in a way that involves cleaning many insulators together. During the cleaning process, the insulators are prone to colliding with each other, which can lead to damage.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] An automatic cleaning device for transmission line insulators includes a housing. An annular plate is fixedly connected inside the housing. An external gear ring is fitted around the annular plate and rotatably connected to it. A fixing plate is located inside the annular plate and fixedly connected to the housing. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the fixing plate. A first gear is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft, and a first rotating plate is fixedly connected to the other end. Teeth are fixedly connected to the top of the external gear ring and mesh with the first gear. A second rotating plate is rotatably connected to the outside of the first rotating plate, and a lower housing is rotatably connected to the outside of the second rotating plate. A positioning rod is fixedly connected inside the lower housing. Insulators requiring cleaning can be directly fitted onto the positioning rod.
[0008] Preferably, a motor is fixedly connected to the top of the housing, the output shaft of the motor vertically penetrates the housing and extends into the interior of the housing, the output shaft of the motor is rotatably connected to the housing, and a second gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. The second gear meshes with an external gear ring, and the motor drives the external gear ring to rotate through the second gear. The external gear ring then drives the first gears at four different positions to rotate using its teeth.
[0009] Preferably, there are four fixing plates, which are symmetrically distributed. Correspondingly, the four sides of the lower housing are provided with accessories such as second rotating plates and first rotating plates.
[0010] Preferably, a limiting ring is fitted around the annular plate and is fixedly connected to the annular plate. An annular groove is formed inside the outer gear ring and is used in conjunction with the limiting ring to limit the movement between the outer gear ring and the annular plate.
[0011] Preferably, the top of the lower housing is detachably connected to the upper housing, the lower housing is internally threaded with bolts, and the upper housing has a through hole inside, which is used in conjunction with the bolts to connect and fix the upper and lower housings.
[0012] Preferably, a control panel is fixedly connected to the top of the housing, and the motor is electrically connected to the control panel. The motor supplies power to the electrical equipment through an external power source and controls the motor through the control panel.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] Place the insulators to be cleaned onto the positioning rod, then place the upper housing onto the lower housing, and tighten the bolts to engage with the through holes. Finally, start the motor to drive the second gear to rotate, which in turn drives the outer gear ring to rotate. The outer gear ring, through its teeth and the first gear, drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft, through the first and second rotating plates, drives the lower and upper housings to move up and down reciprocally, which helps to clean the insulators more effectively. Since each insulator is placed on the positioning rod, there will be no collisions during the cleaning process, thus avoiding damage. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 6 An automatic cleaning device for insulators of transmission lines includes a housing 1. An annular plate 2 is fixedly connected inside the housing 1. An external gear ring 3 is fitted around the annular plate 2 and is rotatably connected to the annular plate 2. A fixing plate 4 is provided on the inner side of the annular plate 2 and is fixedly connected to the housing 1. A rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected inside the fixing plate 4. A first gear 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 5 and a first rotating plate 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 5. Teeth 7 are fixedly connected to the top of the external gear ring 3 and mesh with the first gear 11. A second rotating plate 8 is rotatably connected to the outside of the first rotating plate 6. When the rotating shaft 5 rotates, it drives the lower housing 9 to move up and down reciprocally through the first rotating plate 6 and the second rotating plate 8. The lower housing 9 is rotatably connected to the outside of the second rotating plate 8. A positioning rod 10 is fixedly connected inside the lower housing 9. The insulators to be cleaned can be directly fitted onto the positioning rod 10.
[0024] Furthermore, a motor 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1. The output shaft of the motor 12 passes vertically through the housing 1 and extends into the interior of the housing 1. The output shaft of the motor 12 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. A second gear 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 12. The second gear 13 meshes with the external gear ring 3. The motor 12 drives the external gear ring 3 to rotate through the second gear 13. The external gear ring 3 then drives the first gear 11 in four different positions to rotate using the teeth 7.
[0025] Furthermore, there are four fixing plates 4 in total, which are symmetrically distributed. Correspondingly, the four sides of the lower housing 9 are provided with accessories such as the second rotating plate 8 and the first rotating plate 6.
[0026] Furthermore, a limiting ring 14 is fitted around the annular plate 2, and the limiting ring 14 is fixedly connected to the annular plate 2. An annular groove 15 is opened inside the outer gear ring 3. The annular groove 15 works in conjunction with the limiting ring 14. The limiting ring 14 and the annular groove 15 limit the movement between the outer gear ring 3 and the annular plate 2, making the rotation of the outer gear ring 3 more stable.
[0027] Furthermore, the top of the lower housing 9 is detachably connected to the upper housing 16. The lower housing 9 is internally threaded with bolts 17. The upper housing 16 has a through hole 18 inside, which is used in conjunction with the bolts 17. The bolts 17 and the through holes 18 are respectively located at two opposite corners of the lower housing 9 and the upper housing 16. The bolts 17 and the through holes 18 are used to connect and fix the upper housing 16 and the lower housing 9.
[0028] Furthermore, a control panel 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1. The motor 12 is electrically connected to the control panel 19, and the electrical equipment is powered by an external power supply. The motor 12 is controlled by the control panel 19.
[0029] The steps for using this utility model are as follows: When using this automatic insulator cleaning device for transmission lines, tighten the bolt 17 to separate it from the through hole 18, so that the upper housing 16 can be removed from the lower housing 9. Place the insulator to be cleaned on the positioning rod 10, then cover the lower housing 9 with the upper housing 16, and tighten the bolt 17 to engage it with the through hole 18. Finally, start the motor 12 to drive the second gear 13 to rotate. The second gear 13 drives the outer gear ring 3 to rotate. The outer gear ring 3 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate through the teeth 7 and the first gear 11. The rotating shaft 5 drives the lower housing 9 and the upper housing 16 to move up and down reciprocally through the first rotating plate 6 and the second rotating plate 8, which helps to clean the insulators better. Since each insulator is placed on the positioning rod 10, there will be no collision during the cleaning process, thus avoiding damage.
