The invention discloses an unattended quantitative
electrode paste adding device for a submerged arc furnace and a using method, and relates to the technical field of self-
roasting electrodes of submerged arc furnaces. The device comprises a bracket, a storage bin, a conveying mechanism and a distributing mechanism, the storage bin is fixedly connected into the support, the quantitative metering hopper and the material control
assembly are arranged in the support, and the material conveying mechanism is arranged between the quantitative metering hopper and the material distributing mechanism. The quantitative metering hopper comprises a fixing frame and a quantitative
barrel, the fixing frame is fixedly connected into the support, a fixing ring is fixedly connected to the exterior of the quantitative
barrel, and a plurality of pressure sensors are fixedly connected to the top of the fixing frame. As materials in the quantitative
barrel are continuously increased, when the pressure applied by the fixing ring to the
pressure sensor reaches a set value, the controller controls the electric push rod to stretch out, so that the upper gate plate blocks the upper material control
pipe, and meanwhile, the lower material control
pipe is opened, quantitative material adding can be achieved, a large amount of paste added manually is prevented from rushing in, and the production efficiency is improved. The overhanging risk is caused.
