Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of porcelain insulator manufacturing technology, specifically a billet overhead conveyor line. Background Technology
[0002] The electrical porcelain manufacturing industry is a fundamental industry of the national economy, and porcelain insulators are a crucial basic component of the power industry. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and internet technology, the intelligent manufacturing of the electrical porcelain industry is also gradually advancing. In the production process of suspension porcelain insulators, the finely finished blanks need to be sent to the glazing process for glazing. Due to different requirements for temperature, humidity, etc., the glazing process and the fine-finishing process are far apart. Usually, the finely finished blanks are carried one by one by workers to a transfer rack, and then transported to the glazing process by a trailer. This results in high labor intensity and low work efficiency for workers, and the movement of the trailer in the confined space poses a great safety hazard. During the towing process, secondary damage such as bumps and abrasions may also occur to the blanks, which adversely affects the overall pass rate and subsequent quality control.
