Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of graphite electrode production and processing technology, specifically to an auxiliary limiting device for graphite electrode forming. Background Technology
[0002] Graphite electrodes are a type of high-temperature resistant graphitic conductive material made from petroleum coke and pitch coke as aggregates and coal tar pitch as binder through processes such as raw material calcination, crushing and grinding, batching, kneading, molding, baking, impregnation, graphitization, and machining. During the molding process of graphite electrodes, molding dies are used to extrude the raw materials into electrode blanks of specific shapes and sizes. In this process, it is necessary to limit the molding die to reduce the phenomenon of die displacement. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop an auxiliary limiting device for graphite electrode molding.
[0003] A reference announcement number CN216466406U describes an auxiliary limiting device for graphite electrode forming. This device includes a main body with an internally fixedly connected electric telescopic rod. A movable plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric telescopic rod. An upper mold is located at the bottom of an extrusion rod. A motor is fixedly connected inside a production frame, and a threaded rod is movably connected inside the production frame. A first threaded block and a second threaded block are threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod. A spring is fixedly connected to the upper part of a fixed plate. This auxiliary limiting device for graphite electrode forming uses a motor to drive the threaded rod to rotate, causing the first and second threaded blocks to move. The limiting plate then moves the placement plate, which in turn moves the upper mold via the electric telescopic rod. The spring buffers the extrusion pressure, allowing for rapid adjustment of the limiting range to meet the production needs of various graphite electrode types. However, while this device has good application potential, it is often inconvenient to move the lower mold away from the upper mold, making loading and unloading operations on the lower mold difficult and frequently causing problems for users.

A bearing plate 7 is installed on the top of the rail seat 6. An electric push rod 8 is installed on the top of the workbench 1 on the side of the bearing plate 7 away from the portal frame 2 through a bracket. One end of the electric push rod 8 is connected to the bottom end of the bearing plate 7. A control box 4 is installed on the top of the workbench 1 on the side of the electric push rod 8. The output end of the microcontroller inside the control box 4 is electrically connected to the input end of the electric push rod 8. Support frames 9 are provided on both sides of the top of the bearing plate 7. A placement plate 10 is installed on the top of the two support frames 9. Limiting grooves 16 are provided on both sides inside the placement plate 10. Both ends of the limiting grooves 16 extend to the outside of the placement plate 10. A double-acting screw 14 is rotatably installed on the inner wall between the support frames 9. Guide rods 15 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support frames 9 on both sides of the double-acting screw 14.
[0026] In use, the guide rod 15 is used to limit the movement range of the limiting clamp 12;
[0027] Limiting clamps 12 are threadedly installed on the outer walls of both sides of the bidirectional lead screw 14. The top of the limiting clamp 12 passes through the limiting groove 16 and extends to the top of the placement plate 10. The lower end of the limiting clamp 12 is movably connected to the guide rod 15. A lower mold 11 is provided above the placement plate 10 between the limiting clamps 12.

The upper mold 17 can then be replaced as needed, thus completing the use of the auxiliary limiting device.
