Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crossarm technology, and in particular to a bird droppings simulation extrusion device for crossarm insulators. Background Technology

[0002] Transmission line towers in forested areas easily become habitats for birds, and bird droppings can pose a significant threat to the stable and safe operation of the lines. Most of these incidents occur when birds perch on top of insulators, dripping droppings onto them, causing substantial economic losses and social impact.

[0003] Harmful manifestations:

[0004] 1. Conductive short circuits and arcing faults

[0005] Bird droppings contain conductive substances such as uric acid and salts. In humid environments, these substances can reduce the resistance of insulators, creating conductive paths that can lead to flashover or short circuits. For example, long strings of droppings from large birds may short-circuit some insulators, causing the remaining insulators to withstand excessive voltage and break down.

[0006] 2. Corrosion of metal structures

[0007] Bird droppings contain acidic components that corrode the metal surfaces of power transmission lines, causing material aging and reduced strength. Long-term accumulation may lead to breakage risks. For example, in one region, bird droppings corroding insulators resulted in annual losses of several million yuan.

[0008] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a bird droppings simulation extrusion device on crossarm insulators to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bird droppings simulation extrusion device for crossarm insulators. This device can squeeze bird droppings from a measuring cylinder and spray them onto the insulator to simulate flashover.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model proposes a bird droppings simulation extrusion device for a crossarm insulator, comprising: a crossarm 1, a moving component 2, a transmission component 3, a first linear guide rail module 4, a second linear guide rail module 5, and a measuring cylinder 6; insulators 11 are installed at both ends of the crossarm 1.

[0030] The first linear guide module 4 is mounted horizontally on the crossarm 1. The moving component 2 is mounted on the second linear guide module 5. The second linear guide module 5 is mounted vertically on the crossarm 1. The transmission component 3 is slidably mounted on the second linear guide module 5. The measuring cylinder 6 is fixedly mounted on the second linear guide module 5. The measuring cylinder 6 is provided with a nozzle 61. The moving component 2 drives the transmission component 3 to move and squeeze the bird droppings in the measuring cylinder 6 for spraying.

[0031] It should be noted that the moving part 2 is a servo motor. In this embodiment, the crossarm 1 adopts a hollow design, which can reduce the overall weight of the bird droppings simulation extrusion device on the crossarm insulator.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the top of both ends of the crossarm 1 is provided with lifting lugs 12 to facilitate the lifting of the crossarm 1 by a crane.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the first linear guide module 4 includes a first guide rail 41 and a first slider 42. The first guide rail 41 is horizontally mounted on the crossbeam 1, and the first slider 42 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 41, so that the first slider 42 can slide horizontally on the first guide rail 41.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the second linear guide module 5 includes a second guide rail 51, and the transmission component 3 includes a second slider 31 and a push rod 32 slidably mounted on the second slider 31. The second guide rail 51 is vertically mounted on the first slider 42, and the second slider 31 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 51, so that the second slider 31 can slide in the vertical direction on the second guide rail 51 and push and pull the push rod 32.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, a sliding stopper is provided inside the measuring cylinder 6, and a fixing plate 62 is provided on the measuring cylinder 6. The measuring cylinder 6 is fixed to the second slider 31 by the fixing plate 62, and the push rod 32 is connected to the sliding stopper. It should be noted that the principle of the measuring cylinder 6 is the same as that of the syringe.

[0036] When the push rod 32 pushes the sliding plug toward the nozzle 61, it can squeeze the bird droppings in the measuring cylinder 6 and spray them out; when the push rod 32 pulls the sliding plug away from the nozzle 61, it can draw the gaseous bird droppings into the measuring cylinder 6.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the moving component 2 is mounted on the top of the second guide rail 51, and a ball screw is provided inside the second guide rail 51. The second slider 31 is connected to the nut on the ball screw, and the moving component 2 drives the ball screw to rotate.

[0038] Thus, when the moving part 2 drives the ball screw to rotate, the nut on the ball screw drives the second slider 31 to move towards the measuring cylinder 6. When the second slider 31 pushes the slide plug towards the nozzle 61 through the push rod 32, it can squeeze the bird droppings in the measuring cylinder 6 and spray them out.

[0039] When the moving part 2 drives the ball screw to rotate in the opposite direction, the nut on the ball screw drives the second slider 31 to move away from the measuring cylinder 6. When the second slider 31 pulls the slide plug away from the nozzle 61 through the push rod 32, it can suck bird droppings into the measuring cylinder 6 to replenish the bird droppings in the measuring cylinder 6.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the bird droppings simulation extrusion device on the crossarm insulator further includes an angle adjusting platform 7 and an angle adjusting component 8. The angle adjusting platform 7 is mounted on a first slider 42, and the angle adjusting component 8 is mounted on the crossarm 1 and connected to the angle adjusting platform 7. The second guide rail 51 is mounted on the angle adjusting platform 7, and the angle adjusting component 8 drives the angle adjusting platform 7 to rotate. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the angle adjusting platform 7 can be a motor.

[0041] Thus, the angle adjustment component 8 drives the second linear guide module 5 to rotate through the angle adjustment platform 7, and the measuring cylinder 6 and the nozzle 61 rotate with the second linear guide, thereby changing the spray direction of the nozzle 61, so as to spray bird droppings at different positions of the insulator 11.

[0042] In use, one end of the insulator 11 is fixed to the crossarm 1, and high voltage is applied to the other end of the insulator 11. The insulator 11 is fixed to the crossarm 1 and lifted by a crane. After the moving part 2 is powered on and started, it drives the ball screw to rotate. The nut on the ball screw drives the second slider 31 to move towards the measuring cylinder 6. When the second slider 31 pushes the slide plug towards the nozzle 61 through the push rod 32, it can squeeze the bird droppings in the measuring cylinder 6 and spray them onto the insulator 11 to simulate a flashover. The completion of the insulator test can provide a reference for the later reasonable planning and design of high voltage lines and active protection, so as to significantly reduce the accident rate.

[0043] This invention is not limited to the description in the specification and embodiments. Therefore, other advantages and modifications can be readily realized by those skilled in the art. Thus, without departing from the spirit and scope of the general concept as defined by the claims and their equivalents, this invention is not limited to the specific details, representative devices and illustrated examples shown and described herein.
