The reason why glass insulator those years?
Glass insulators have become popular in recent years for several reasons, including their own performance advantages, convenient inspection and maintenance, market demand promotion, and technological progress and policy support. The specific details are as follows:Performance Advantages
•Self-Breakage at Zero Value
•High Mechanical Strength
•Small Size and Weight
•Stable Electrical Performance
Inspection and Maintenance
•Cancellation of Regular Preventive Tests1: Due to the self-breaking characteristics of glass insulators, maintenance personnel can directly find damaged insulators through line inspections, so the regular preventive tests of insulators during operation can be cancelled, saving a lot of labor, material and time costs.
•Low Maintenance Costs: Glass insulator strings have good anti-pollution flashover performance and hydrophobicity.
Market Demand Promotion
•Power Infrastructure Construction: With the continuous development of the global economy and the continuous growth of power demand, countries are increasing their efforts in the construction and upgrading of power infrastructure. A large number of insulators are needed to ensure the safety and reliability of power transmission in newly built or upgraded transmission lines, substations and power grid facilities. As an insulating material with excellent performance, glass insulators have increased market demand.
•New Energy Development: The development of renewable energy requires the construction of a large number of high-voltage transmission lines to transmit energy to the load center. These projects usually use high-voltage transmission lines and corresponding insulation support systems. Glass insulators are widely used in the field of new energy because of their characteristics of adapting to high-voltage and large-capacity transmission lines.
In order to meet the market request, Jiangxi Huayao electric Co.,ltd has established a production line for ultra-high voltage tempered glass insulators with advanced production technology by introducing world-class production and testing equipment from Germany, Italy, and other countries. It has the ability to produce over 6 million pieces of AC and DC glass insulators annually.
The Production process flow:
The production process of glass insulators in Jiangxi Huayao Electric Co.,Ltd is as follows:
Mix raw material=>melt glass liquid=>press to glass insulator shape=> tempering treatment=>cold and shock test=> Glue assembly=> routine test and other test=> Finished products package.
Production process flow
The production process of glass insulators in the company is as follows:
Ingredients: Ingredients refer to the uniform mixing of different raw materials according to a certain ratio. Currently, a forced vertical mixer is generally used for ingredient preparation. The key to ingredients is the uniformity of mixing different raw materials.
Melting: Melting refers to the process of heating ingredients at high temperatures to form a uniform glass liquid, while clarification refers to the exhaust treatment of the liquid formed by melting raw materials.
Pressing: After melting and clarification, the glass liquid enters the pressing process through the feeding system, that is, the glass is hydraulically made into glass insulation parts, usually achieved through a fully automatic hydraulic forming machine. The pressing shape is controlled by the glass mold, and the amount of glass liquid used to press one insulator is also controlled to ensure the consistency of the insulator product.
Tempering: Subsequently, the glass piece is subjected to tempering treatment, which means controlled cooling of the glass piece to obtain permanent surface prestress. The equipment involved in the tempering process includes temperature equalization furnaces, tempering machines, etc.
Cold and hot shock: Tempered glass pieces undergo cold and hot shock tests, using a special nickel sulfide treatment furnace and a special nickel sulfide elimination process to homogenize the glass pieces. The quality of the nickel sulfide removal process directly affects the important indicator of the glass insulator after operation - the self explosion rate.
Glue assembly: Use an assembly machine with steel foot positioning assistance to assemble and glue the insulator insulation parts, steel feet, and steel caps. This step requires attention to ensuring the coaxiality of the steel feet, insulation parts, and steel caps. Poor coaxiality can also lead to high self explosion rates. Inspection: Conduct a 50% tensile load test on the glass insulators that have been glued together, check the height of the insulator structure, etc., to ensure that the insulators meet the standard requirements.
