[0012] Beneficial effects
[0013] This utility model provides an automatic cleaning device for contaminated overhead contact line insulators. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0014] 1. This automatic cleaning device for contaminated contact network insulators comprises a displacement motor, a moving frame, a lifting screw, a rotating rod, a rotating wheel, a displacement synchronous belt, a displacement synchronous wheel, a bidirectional screw, a moving plate, and a hanging wheel. The device is connected to the busbar. Then, rotating the bidirectional screw moves the moving plate and the hanging wheel, which inserts into the busbar. Next, rotating the lifting screw causes the moving frame, displacement motor, rotating rod, and rotating wheel to rotate. The rotating wheel contacts the bottom of the busbar, increasing friction between the rotating wheel and the busbar and preventing insufficient friction that would prevent the device from moving.
[0015] 2. This automatic cleaning device for contact network insulators, consisting of an arc-shaped frame, a displacement gear, a transmission rod, a rotating synchronous pulley, a rotating synchronous belt, and a rotating motor, enables the transmission rod and displacement gear to rotate via the rotating synchronous belt and rotating synchronous pulley. The rotation of the displacement gear causes the arc-shaped rack and arc-shaped frame to move, which in turn moves the round rod and brush bristles. This movement of the brush bristles expands their cleaning area, resulting in better cleaning of the contact network insulators. Attached Figure Description
