Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insulators, and more specifically, to a cleaning tool for post-type insulators. Background Technology
[0002] Insulation maintenance of insulators mainly involves removing various contaminants such as dust, oil, salt, carbon deposits, acid and alkaline gases, and charged particles from the insulators. This reduces corrosion of the insulation layer and protects the anti-flashover layer. Timely cleaning of severe contaminants on insulators of power transmission and transformation equipment can prevent large-scale sudden power outages caused by flashover and fog flashover. Currently, the cleaning of insulator strings of power transmission lines in my country mainly involves manual cleaning, live water washing, live dry ice cleaning equipment, and articulated live cleaning robots.
[0003] Aside from robots and drones, manual insulator cleaning methods can be broadly categorized into live-line cleaning and non-live-line cleaning. Live-line cleaning rarely uses water due to inherent risks. To ensure the safety of cleaning personnel, brush cleaning is typically employed. However, roller brushes or curved brushes struggle to thoroughly clean the curved surfaces of insulators, resulting in low cleaning efficiency and a low level of cleanliness. To improve cleaning efficiency and safety during cleaning, a column-type insulator cleaning tool is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the low efficiency of dry cleaning of insulators and the inherent risks of water cleaning in existing technologies, this utility model provides a column-type insulator cleaning tool, comprising a tube body, a mounting base fixedly installed on the top of the tube body, a cleaning component threadedly installed on the top of the mounting base, an installation kit fixedly installed on the outside of the tube body, a spraying component fixedly installed on the top of the installation kit, a bracket fixedly installed on the bottom of the tube body, a dust removal component fixedly installed on the top of the bracket, and a container component fixedly installed on the side wall of the tube body;
[0005] The cleaning assembly includes a threaded plate, which is threadedly mounted on the top of the mounting base. A mounting vertical rod is fixedly mounted on the top of the threaded plate. Three cleaning retaining rings are fixedly mounted on the outside of the mounting vertical rod. The inner walls of the three cleaning retaining rings are provided with cleaning brushes.
[0006] The tube body is hollow inside with upper and lower slots, and a through hole is provided on the side of the tube body away from the container assembly.
[0007] Preferably, the mounting base is T-shaped, and a mounting groove is provided on the front side of the mounting base.
[0008] Preferably, the dust removal assembly includes a blower, which is threadedly mounted on the top of the bracket. A ventilation pipe is fixedly connected to the air outlet of the blower. The end of the ventilation pipe away from the blower passes through a through hole and a pipe body in sequence and extends into the mounting groove. An air outlet is fixedly installed at the end of the ventilation pipe away from the blower.
[0009] Preferably, the installation kit includes two fixed trays, both of which are fixedly installed on the outside of the pipe body, and an insulating rubber sleeve is fixedly connected between the two fixed trays, the insulating rubber sleeve being fitted onto the outside of the pipe body.
[0010] Preferably, the spraying assembly includes a small water pump, which is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed tray. A water outlet pipe is fixedly installed at the outlet of the small water pump. An atomizing nozzle is fixedly connected to the end of the water outlet pipe away from the small water pump. The atomizing nozzle is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting base. An inlet pipe is fixedly installed at the inlet of the small water pump.
[0011] Preferably, the container assembly includes a socket, which is fixedly installed on the side wall of the tube, and a container is inserted into the socket.
[0012] Preferably, the container is filled with cleaning water, and the end of the inlet pipe away from the small water pump extends into the interior of the container.
[0013] Preferably, all three cleaning rings are C-shaped.
[0014] Beneficial effects:
[0015] The beneficial effects of adopting the technical solution of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] (1) By setting a cleaning ring in the shape of "C", it can fit tightly with the insulator. Each cleaning ring has a cleaning brush on its inner wall. The cleaning ring has a certain deformation ability and can more smoothly follow the vertical reciprocating drive of the staff to clean the surface of the insulator. It can repeatedly clean the concave and convex surfaces of the insulator and deeply clean the concave surfaces of the insulator that are prone to hiding dirt.
[0017] (2) By setting up spraying components and dust removal components, additional cleaning methods such as pneumatic dust removal and water washing are provided. The appropriate cleaning method can be selected according to the power supply status of the insulator. When the line is de-energized, water mist can be sprayed onto the surface of the insulator by the spraying components and the cleaning components can be used for efficient cleaning. When the power supply is on, the insulator can be cleaned by pneumatic dust removal by the dust removal components and the cleaning components can be used to clean the insulator. This not only improves the cleaning efficiency and cleanliness, but also ensures the safety of the staff and avoids the risk of electric shock. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The specific embodiments are as follows:
[0026] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a column-type insulator cleaning tool includes a tube body 1, a mounting base 2 fixedly installed on the top of the tube body 1, a cleaning component 3 threadedly installed on the top of the mounting base 2, a mounting kit 4 fixedly installed on the outside of the tube body 1, a spraying component 5 fixedly installed on the top of the mounting kit 4, a bracket 6 fixedly installed on the bottom of the tube body 1, a dust removal component 7 fixedly installed on the top of the bracket 6, and a container component 8 fixedly installed on the side wall of the tube body 1. The cleaning component 3 includes a threaded plate 31, which is threadedly installed on the top of the mounting base 2. A mounting vertical rod 32 is fixedly installed on the top of the threaded plate 31. Three cleaning retaining rings 33 are fixedly installed on the outside of the mounting vertical rod 32. Each of the three cleaning retaining rings 33 has a cleaning brush 34 on its inner wall. The upper and lower parts of the tube body 1... The slotted interior is hollow, and a through hole is provided on the side of the tube body 1 away from the container component 8. The three cleaning rings 33 are all C-shaped. The cleaning rings 33 are installed in layers by mounting the vertical rod 32. There is a certain space between each cleaning ring 33. The space can fit with the protruding part of the insulator, and each cleaning ring 33 can fit on the concave and convex surfaces of the insulator. The cleaning rings 33 are made of hard rubber and have a certain deformation capacity while being shaped. Therefore, during the cleaning process, the staff can move the cleaning rings 33 on the outer surface of the insulator by moving the tube body 1 vertically up and down. Combined with the cleaning brush 34 set on the inner wall of the cleaning rings 33, the concave surface of the insulator that is prone to dust accumulation can be deeply cleaned.
[0027] Furthermore, the mounting base 2 is T-shaped, and a mounting groove 21 is provided on the front of the mounting base 2. The dust removal component 7 includes a blower 71, which is threaded onto the top of the bracket 6. A ventilation pipe 72 is fixedly connected to the air outlet of the blower 71. The end of the ventilation pipe 72 away from the blower 71 passes through the through hole and the pipe body 1 and extends into the mounting groove 21. An air outlet 73 is fixedly installed at the end of the ventilation pipe 72 away from the blower 71. The blower 71 can generate pressurized gas and deliver it to the air outlet 73 through the ventilation pipe 72. The air outlet 73 is positioned below the cleaning retainer 33. Workers can first align the air outlet 73 with the insulator position for gas dust removal and then physically clean it through the cleaning retainer 33. This is suitable for cleaning work without power interruption.
[0028] The mounting kit 4 includes two fixed trays 42, both of which are fixedly mounted on the outside of the tube body 1. An insulating rubber sleeve 41 is fixedly connected between the two fixed trays 42. The insulating rubber sleeve 41 is fitted on the outside of the tube body 1. The insulating rubber sleeve 41 can increase friction and also has an insulating effect.
[0029] It should be noted that the spraying assembly 5 includes a small water pump 51, which is fixedly installed on the top of the top mounting tray 42. Both the small water pump 51 and the blower 71 are equipped with external power supply lines. A water outlet pipe 52 is fixedly installed at the outlet of the small water pump 51. An atomizing nozzle 54 is fixedly connected to the end of the water outlet pipe 52 away from the small water pump 51. The atomizing nozzle 54 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting base 2. A water inlet pipe 53 is fixedly installed at the inlet of the small water pump 51. The container assembly 8 includes a socket 81. The socket 81 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the pipe body 1. A container 82 is inserted into the inside of the socket 81. The container 82 is filled with cleaning liquid. The end of the water inlet pipe 53 away from the small water pump 51 extends into the container 82. The cleaning liquid in the container 82 is pumped through the small water pump 51 and the water inlet pipe 53, and after being pressurized, it is delivered to the water outlet pipe 52. Finally, it is sprayed onto the surface of the insulator through the atomizing nozzle 54, which facilitates the cleaning of the retaining ring 33 to treat the dirt and dust on the surface of the insulator. It is especially suitable for cleaning work when the power is off, and the cleaning effect is better.
[0030] Working principle: The appropriate cleaning method is selected based on the power supply status of the insulator. In the event of a power outage, the cleaning liquid in the container tank 82 can be pumped to the atomizing nozzle 54 by starting the small water pump 51 and sprayed onto the surface of the insulator. Then, the tube body 1 is rotated so that the cleaning retaining ring 33 wraps around the outside of the insulator and cleans the surface of the insulator by vertical movement. In the event of an uninterrupted power outage, the blower 71 can be started to spray high-pressure gas through the air outlet 73 onto the surface of the insulator to perform preliminary treatment of dust and dirt. Then, the cleaning retaining ring 33 is used for cleaning. This method is applicable to various cleaning situations and has a more thorough cleaning effect and faster cleaning efficiency.
[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
