The cylinder rod may abut against the sides of the running carrier 400 and the guide rail 310 to lock the position of the running carrier 400 and the guide rail 310, preventing the running carrier 400 from moving relative to the guide rail 310. The stopper 352 is connected to the other side of the guide rail 310, and is disposed opposite to the cylinder rod. The cylinder rod and the stop plate 352 create a force balance to define the position of the running carrier 400 and the guide rail 310. In this embodiment, the locking device 350 includes the locking cylinder 351 and the blocking plate 352. The locking of the running carrier 400 with respect to the guide rail 310 is made more stable by the locking cylinder 351 and the stop plate 352.

Referring also to fig. 6, in one embodiment, the locking device 350 further includes a positioning block 353. The positioning block 353 is disposed on a side of the locking cylinder 351 near the guide rail 310. That is, the positioning block 353 is connected to the cylinder rod, and the positioning block 353 is disposed between the cylinder rod and the guide rail 310. The structure and shape of the positioning block 353 and the connection mode with the cylinder rod are not particularly limited in this application, and may be selected according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the locking cylinder 351 is used for locking the guide rail 310 and the operation carrier 400 through the positioning block 353, so that the locking is more stable.

In one embodiment, the positioning block 353 includes a catch groove 355. The clamping groove 355 is used for clamping the operation carrier 400 and the guide rail 310. The positioning block 355 may have a cubic structure. A clamping groove 355 is formed in one side surface of the positioning block 353. The locking groove 355 may have a V-shaped structure, a U-shaped structure, or a semicircular structure, and may be selected according to different shapes of the operation carrier 400 and the guide rail 310. The operation carrier 400 and the guide rail 310 are provided with structures corresponding to the catching grooves 355. For example, the running carrier 400 and the guide rail 310 are provided with a convex structure or a rod-like structure corresponding to the catching groove 355. When the cylinder rod of the locking cylinder 351 pushes the positioning block 353 to approach the guide rail 310 and the operation carrier 400, the convex structures or the rod-shaped structures on the operation carrier 400 and the guide rail 310 are clamped into the clamping groove 355, so that the operation carrier 400 and the guide rail 310 are locked. In this embodiment, the locking device 351 can lock the guide rail and the operation carrier 400 more stably through the locking groove 355 of the positioning block 353.

In one embodiment, the locking device 350 further includes a locking switch 354. The lock switch 354 is communicatively coupled to the control device 200 and the lock cylinder 351. The control device 200 controls the locking and unlocking of the locking cylinder 351 through the locking switch 354. The locking switch 354 may be implemented by circuitry and/or software. The locking switch 354 can receive a control signal of the control device 200 and control the cylinder rod of the locking cylinder 351 to move according to the control signal, thereby controlling the locking and unlocking of the running carrier 400 and the guide rail 310. The control signal from the control device 200 to the lock cylinder 351 may be sent according to a preset program or may be set and controlled manually. In this embodiment, the locking switch 354 controls the state of the locking device 350, and the locking and unlocking of the locking device 350 are automated and intelligent.

In one embodiment, the guide rail 310 is open at the end into which the running carrier 400 slides. That is, the diameter of the rail 310 at the end port where the running carrier 400 slides in is larger than the diameter of the rail 310 elsewhere. In one embodiment, the guide rail 310 is flared at the end into which the running carrier 400 slides. The guide rail 310 having an open inlet allows the running carrier 400 to slide into the guide rail 310 more easily, improving the utility of the insulator cleaning system 10.

Before starting the cleaning, the cleaning apparatus 100 collects image information of the cleaning station 300 and transmits the image information to the control apparatus 200. The control device 200 determines whether there is an obstacle in the range of the movement locus of the cleaning device 100 according to the image information and the movement locus of the cleaning device 100. When there is an obstacle in the range of the operation locus of the washing apparatus 100, the control apparatus 200 controls the washing apparatus 100 to stop the operation. When there is no obstacle in the range of the operation track of the cleaning apparatus 100, the control apparatus 200 controls the cleaning apparatus 100 to clean the insulators 20 at the respective cleaning stations 300. In this embodiment, the image recognition device 500 can prevent the cleaning device 100 from colliding with other objects, and the safety of the operation of the cleaning device 100 is ensured.

In one embodiment, the image recognition device 500 is further configured to collect images before and after the insulator cleaning, and transmit the images to the control device 200. The control device 200 determines the cleaning effect from the images before and after the insulator cleaning. Before the cleaning device 100 starts the cleaning operation, the image recognition device 500 acquires image information of the insulator 20 and transmits the image information to the control device 200. After the cleaning is completed, the image recognition device 500 collects the image information of the insulator 20 again, and transmits the image information to the control device 200. The control device 200 compares the image information of the insulator 20 before and after cleaning, determines the degree of cleanliness of the insulator 20, and determines whether or not the insulator 20 needs to be washed. Thereby determining the next step to command the cleaning device 100.

The specific type, specification, etc. of the safety light curtain 600 are not limited, and can be selected according to actual requirements. The safety light curtain 600 is used for ensuring the safety of the cleaning device 100 within the operation range. When an external object, such as a person or a device, intrudes into the range of the safety light curtain 600, i.e., the range of the working radius of the cleaning apparatus 100 during the operation of the cleaning apparatus 100, the safety light curtain 600 sends a signal to the control apparatus 200. Upon receiving the signal, the control device 200 transmits a stop signal to the cleaning device 100. The cleaning apparatus 100 receives the stop signal and stops the current operation. In this embodiment, the safety light curtain 600 improves the safety of the insulator cleaning system 10. Meanwhile, in the cleaning process, the cleaning device 100 needs to perform a loading and unloading operation, that is, manually push the transport carrier 400 containing the insulator 20 to be cleaned. Through setting up safety light curtain 600 for go up during unloading, need not to operate, directly accomplish and go up unloading work. When an operator loads and unloads, the safety light curtain 600 sends a signal to the control device 200, and the control device 200 stops the operation of the cleaning device 200. After the loading and unloading are finished, the cleaning work of the cleaning device 100 can be recovered through the operation of a human-computer interface. Safe light curtain 600 makes the simple intelligence of unloading work of going up.
