Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of spraying equipment, and in particular relates to a spraying equipment for column insulators. Background Technology

[0002] RTV coating of post insulators in substations is a method to improve the hydrophobicity of insulators by spraying RTV coating on their surface. It is an effective and necessary anti-pollution measure. Substation insulators work outdoors for a long time, and dirt will accumulate on their surface. With prolonged exposure to wind and sun, the RTV coating on the surface will also peel off, which can lead to flashover accidents. Regularly cleaning and spraying anti-pollution flashover coating on the insulators in substations is an effective means to maintain the insulation level of the insulators, prevent flashover accidents, and ensure the operation of the power grid.

[0003] The existing patent CN114130568B discloses a substation insulator spraying device and its construction method, including a base and a spray gun head. A lifting platform is set on the base, and a guide column and a hydraulic telescopic cylinder are set between the base and the lifting platform. A support rod is set on the upper surface of the lifting platform. A connecting seat is set on the end of the support rod away from the lifting platform. A drive motor is set on the connecting seat. The output shaft of the drive motor extends into the connecting seat and is connected to a connecting shaft inside the connecting seat. The other end of the connecting shaft extends out of the connecting seat and is connected to a rotating disk. A connecting rod is set on the end of the rotating disk away from the connecting seat. A spray gun head is set on the end of the connecting rod away from the rotating disk. There are two spray gun heads. Each spray gun head includes a spray tube and a spray nozzle. The spray tube is an arc-shaped spray tube. The opening of the spray tube faces the insulator to be sprayed. Spray nozzles are evenly distributed on the side of the spray tube facing the insulator. This invention can save labor, speed up the spraying process, and improve work efficiency. However, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are generated during the curing process of RTV coating. These VOCs evaporate into the air, and the RTV coating during the spraying process does not completely cover the surface of the column insulator but diffuses into the air, affecting air quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a spraying device for column insulators that collects and filters volatile organic compounds and airborne coatings during the coating curing process, thereby protecting the environment and the health of workers during spraying.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a spraying device for column insulators, characterized in that it includes a paint spraying pipe, and the paint spraying pipe is externally provided with:

[0006] A collection device is fixedly connected to the paint spray pipe and is used to collect the paint and air mixture that spills out around the spray nozzle of the paint spray pipe.

[0007] A filtration device connected to a collection device, the filtration device being used to filter a mixture of paint and air collected by the collection device.

[0008] In this technical solution, the material used for spraying insulators is generally RTV coating. When the spray gun sprays RTV coating onto the surface of the insulator, some of the RTV coating diffuses into the air. At the same time, when the RTV coating cures on the surface of the insulator, it also volatilizes volatile organic compounds. At this time, the collection device is turned on to collect the mixed air containing volatile organic compounds and RTV coating. Then, the volatile organic compounds and RTV coating in the mixed air are filtered out by the filtration device, thereby releasing clean air and avoiding air pollution that could harm the health of the operators.

[0009] Furthermore, a spray nozzle is fixedly installed at the front end of the paint spray tube, and the spray nozzle is conical.

[0010] In this technical solution, the use of a conical nozzle reduces the spraying area, making it easier for a collector to collect the RTV coating that has diffused into the air.

[0011] Furthermore, the collection device includes:

[0012] A guide tube is fixedly installed outside the paint spray tube and is connected through the paint spray tube. The inner diameter of the guide tube is larger than the outer diameter of the paint spray tube.

[0013] A collector is disposed on a guide tube and threadedly connected to the guide tube; the diameter of the collector is larger than the outer diameter of the paint spray tube.

[0014] A collection box, the side wall of which is provided with a flexible hose, and the collection box and the guide tube are connected by the flexible hose thread;

[0015] A blower is fixedly installed above the collection box.

[0016] In this technical solution, the blower starts working and generates suction inside the collection box. Through the connection of the hose and guide tube, suction is also generated inside the collector. Under the action of suction, the collector collects the mixed air during the spraying process of the paint spray pipe. The mixed air is collected in the collection box through the guide tube and hose.

[0017] Furthermore, a one-way valve is provided on the hose.

[0018] In this technical solution, the one-way valve allows the mixed air to flow into the collection box in one direction, preventing the mixed air from flowing back to the collector.

[0019] Furthermore, the collection box includes a filter box and a water filter box, the water filter box being filled with clean water, and the filtration device includes:

[0020] A guide plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water filter tank. The guide plate is located in the path through which the mixed air is introduced. The guide plate is used to prolong the residence time of the mixed air in the water passing through the water filter tank.

[0021] A separation filter is fixedly mounted on a filter box and is used to separate the paint from the mixed air.

[0022] An absorption filter is disposed above a separating filter and is used to absorb volatile organic compounds in the mixed air.

[0023] In this technical solution, mixed air enters the collection box through a hose. Under the obstruction of the guide plate, the mixed air first passes through the bottom of the water and then diffuses to the water surface. The RTV coating in the mixed air is solidified into small particles that float on the water surface, allowing most of the RTV coating to be separated from the mixed air. The water-soluble volatile organic compounds in the mixed air also remain in the water. Under the action of suction, the mixed air diffused on the water surface enters the separation filter, which separates the RTV coating that was not separated from the mixed air. The remaining mixed air passes through the absorption filter, which absorbs the remaining volatile organic compounds. Finally, the clean air is discharged from the top of the filter box.

[0024] Furthermore, the filter box and the water filter box are detachably connected, and four corresponding through holes are opened on the filter box and the water filter box, and the through holes of the filter box and the water filter box are connected by positioning pins.

[0025] In this technical solution, when using the collection box, the through hole is fixed with a positioning pin, so that the filter box and the water filter box become a sealed whole. When it is necessary to clean the collection box, the positioning pin is removed from the through hole, the filter box and the water filter box are separated, and cleaning is performed.

[0026] Furthermore, the separation filter includes beads and bead plates, the bead plates have mesh holes, and multiple layers of beads are arranged between two bead plates. The diameter of the beads is larger than the diameter of the mesh holes, and gaps are formed between the beads. The beads are made of a hydrophilic material that is not easily adsorbed by RTV coatings.

[0027] In this technical solution, the beads are made of ceramic materials, such as silicon carbide. Under the action of suction, the water in the water tank will enter the separation filter. Since the beads are hydrophilic, the water will be absorbed by the beads and a water film will be formed on the surface of the beads. The RTV coating is not easily absorbed by the beads and is incompatible with water. Therefore, the water and RTV coating are separated by the beads. The mixed air carries the RTV coating through the gaps between the beads and the mesh on the bead plate to diffuse into the absorption filter.

[0028] Furthermore, a filter screen is installed inside the water filter tank. The filter screen is positioned above the clean water and is used to prevent paint particles floating on the water surface from being sucked into the separation filter.

[0029] In this technical solution, under the action of suction, the water, small particles of RTV coating on the water surface and mixed air in the water tank float to the surface. Under the obstruction of the filter screen, the small particles of RTV coating cannot pass through the filter screen, while the water and mixed air are filtered out and enter the separation filter.

[0030] Furthermore, the filter box is provided with a storage slot, and the absorption filter is housed in the storage slot, with activated carbon disposed inside the absorption filter.

[0031] In this technical solution, activated carbon can absorb volatile organic compounds. When it is necessary to replace the absorbent, the absorption filter can be pulled out of the storage tank for easy replacement.

[0032] Furthermore, a recycling bag is provided inside the collector.

[0033] In this technical solution, when the RTV coating in the inhalation collector is returned, the RTV coating is induced to flow into the recovery bag, thereby collecting the RTV coating remaining in the return air into the recovery bag.

[0034] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model collects and filters volatile organic compounds and RTV coatings in the air during the curing process, which can protect the environment and protect the health of workers during spraying.

[0049] A filtration device connected to a collection device, the filtration device being used to filter a mixture of paint and air collected by the collection device.

[0050] The material used for spraying insulators is generally RTV coating. When spraying RTV coating onto the surface of the insulator using spray nozzle 1, some of the RTV coating diffuses into the air. At the same time, when the RTV coating cures on the surface of the insulator, it also releases volatile organic compounds. At this time, the collection device is turned on to collect the mixed air containing volatile organic compounds and RTV coating. Then, the volatile organic compounds and RTV coating in the mixed air are filtered out by the filtration device, thereby releasing clean air and avoiding air pollution that could harm the health of the operators.

[0052] A spray nozzle 8 is fixedly installed at the front end of the paint spray tube 1, and the spray nozzle 8 is conical.

[0053] Using a conical nozzle 8 makes the spraying area smaller, making it easier for the collector 2 to collect the RTV paint that has diffused into the air.

[0054] The collection device includes:

[0055] Guide tube 3, the guide tube 3 is fixedly installed outside the paint spray tube 1, the guide tube 3 is connected through the paint spray tube 1, and the inner diameter of the guide tube 3 is larger than the outer diameter of the paint spray tube 1;

[0058] Blower 7 is fixedly installed above the collection box 6.

[0059] The blower 7 starts working and generates suction inside the collection box 6. Through the connection of the hose 4 and the guide tube 3, suction is also generated inside the collector 2. Under the action of suction, the collector 2 collects the mixed air during the spraying process of the paint spray pipe 1. The mixed air is collected in the collection box 6 through the guide tube 3 and the hose 4.

[0060] A one-way valve 5 is provided on the hose 4.

[0061] One-way valve 5 allows the mixed air to flow into the collection box 6 in one direction, preventing the mixed air from flowing back to the collector 2.

[0062] The collection box 6 includes a filter box 17 and a water filter box 16, the water filter box 16 is filled with clean water, and the filtration device includes:

[0063] Guide plate 10, the guide plate 10 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water filter tank 16, the guide plate 10 is in the path of mixed air introduction, the guide plate 10 is used to prolong the residence time of mixed air in the water passing through the water filter tank 16;

[0064] Separation filter 12 is fixedly mounted on filter box 17, and separation filter 12 is used to separate the paint in the mixed air;

[0065] An absorption filter 13 is disposed above the separation filter 12, and the absorption filter 13 is used to absorb volatile organic compounds in the mixed air.

[0066] Mixed air enters the collection box 6 through hose 4. Under the obstruction of guide plate 10, the mixed air first passes through the bottom of the water and then diffuses to the water surface. The RTV coating in the mixed air is solidified in the water into small particles that float on the water surface, causing most of the RTV coating to be separated from the mixed air. The water-soluble part of the volatile organic compounds in the mixed air will also remain in the water. Under the action of suction, the mixed air diffused on the water surface enters the separation filter 12, so that the RTV coating that was not separated in the mixed air is separated by the separation filter 12. The remaining mixed air absorbs the remaining volatile organic compounds through the absorption filter 13. Finally, the clean air is discharged from the top of the filter box 17.

[0067] The filter box 17 and the water filter box 16 are detachably connected. The filter box 17 and the water filter box 16 have four corresponding through holes 18. The through holes 18 of the filter box 17 and the water filter box 16 are connected by positioning pins 19.

[0068] When using the collection box 6, the positioning pin 19 is used to fix the through hole 18, so that the filter box 17 and the water filter box 16 become a sealed whole.

The diameter of the beads 14 is larger than the diameter of the mesh holes, and gaps are formed between the beads 14. The beads 14 are made of a hydrophilic material that is not easily adsorbed by RTV coatings.

[0070] The beads 14 are made of ceramic materials, such as silicon carbide. Under the action of suction, the water in the water tank 16 will enter the separation filter 12. Since the beads 14 are hydrophilic, the water will be absorbed by the beads 14 and a water film will be formed on the surface of the beads 14. The RTV coating is not easily absorbed by the beads 14 and is incompatible with water. Therefore, the water and the RTV coating are separated by the beads 14. The mixed air carries the RTV coating through the gaps of the beads 14 and the mesh on the bead plate 15 to diffuse into the absorption filter 13.

[0071] The water filter tank 16 is equipped with a filter screen 11, which is positioned above the clean water. The filter screen 11 is used to prevent paint particles floating on the water surface from being sucked into the separation filter 12.

[0072] Under the action of suction, the water, small particles of RTV coating on the water surface and mixed air in the water tank 16 float to the surface.
