Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of suspension insulator testing technology, specifically to an insulation resistance measuring tool for suspension insulators. Background Technology

[0002] In modern railway power systems, suspension insulators are key components of overhead lines, and their insulation performance directly affects the safe and stable operation of the power supply system. By supporting live conductors and insulating them from the ground, suspension insulators prevent current leakage and flashover accidents, playing a vital role in ensuring the continuity and reliability of railway transportation.

[0003] However, in current railway power production practices, there is insufficient emphasis on the daily maintenance of suspension insulators. Due to the lack of a systematic and standardized maintenance process, dirt easily accumulates on the surface of suspension insulators. Coupled with long-term exposure to atmospheric conditions, temperature changes, and mechanical stress, this easily leads to a decline in insulation performance or even insulation failure, thus creating safety hazards. In emergency situations, accurately and quickly identifying the cause of a tripping fault on an overhead line and restoring power supply is crucial. However, for line tripping caused by internal insulation damage to suspension insulators, the current common method is for workers to climb the pole and remove the insulator from the overhead line, then use a professional insulation resistance tester to measure it. While this method can theoretically accurately obtain the insulation resistance value of the insulator, it has many drawbacks in practice, seriously affecting the efficiency of power line fault repair.

[0004] For a long overhead power line, there are often a large number of insulators installed. When it is necessary to measure the insulation resistance of each insulator individually, workers must repeatedly climb poles and dismantle insulators. Each pole climb requires time for safety preparation, such as putting on safety equipment and climbing the pole. Dismantling and installing insulators requires skilled techniques and considerable time. In addition, after the measurement is completed, the insulators must be reinstalled in their original positions and necessary inspections and adjustments must be made to ensure the normal operation of the line. This series of cumbersome procedures makes the entire measurement process extremely time-consuming, seriously delaying the emergency repair progress of power line faults.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a tool that can quickly and conveniently test whether the insulation resistance of suspension insulators is good, in order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and meet the actual needs of railway power production for efficient insulator testing and rapid power restoration.

[0054] Example 1

[0055] An insulation resistance measuring tool for suspension insulators includes an insulation resistance meter 4, an insulation support plate 2, an insulation telescopic rod 3, and two barbed connectors 1. The upper part of the insulation support plate 2 is provided with a horizontally adjustable fixing assembly. The two barbed connectors 1 are detachably connected to the insulation support plate 2 via the fixing assembly. The lower part of the insulation support plate 2 is detachably connected to the insulation telescopic rod 3. Fasteners are also included. The horizontally adjustable fixing assembly specifically comprises: a first screw hole 1-1 at the non-barbed end of the barbed connector 1, and several second screw holes 2-1 at the upper part of the insulation support plate 2. The insulation support plate 2 is 400mm long, and there are four second screw holes 2-1.

[0056] During measurement, the two wires 4-1 of the insulation resistance meter 4 are electrically connected to two barbed connectors 1 respectively.

The first screw hole 1-1 and the second screw hole 2-1 are fixed at a suitable horizontal spacing by external hexagonal bolts.

[0057] The measurement method is as follows: Taking a suspension insulator 5 on a 10kV voltage line as an example, the suspension insulator 5 to be measured is model XP-70. This model of suspension insulator 5 usually includes two insulating sheets. First, the suspension insulator 5 is tested as a whole, that is, the insulation resistance of the two insulating sheets is measured to see if it meets the insulation strength requirements. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 After selecting a suitable distance between the second screw hole 2-1 and fixing the barbed connector 1 through the first screw hole 1-1, use the handheld insulating telescopic rod 3 to place the barbed connector 1 at the left end of the first insulating sheet and the right end of the second insulating sheet respectively, and perform measurements. If the measurement results meet the insulation strength requirements, the suspension insulator 5 is in normal condition; if the measurement results do not meet the insulation strength requirements, test both insulating sheets separately, see [reference missing]. Figure 3 Select a suitable distance for the second screw hole 2-1. After fixing the barbed connector 1 through the first screw hole 1-1, use the handheld insulating telescopic rod 3 to place the barbed connector 1 at the left and right ends of the first insulating sheet and take measurements. If the measurement results meet the insulation strength requirements, the first insulating sheet is in normal condition.
