Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electrolytic aluminum, and in particular relates to a pneumatic pick supporting device for manual electrolyte cleaning. Background Art

[0002] In the process of aluminum electrolysis, the anodes used in aluminum electrolytic cells are usually made of carbon materials. During the electrolysis process, the anodes will gradually be consumed, and the consumption of the anodes is an important factor. The residual anode refers to the part of the anode that is not completely consumed in the reaction during the production of aluminum electrolysis. This part of the residual anode includes the anode guide rod, the anode steel claw and the anode carbon block that has not been completely consumed. After the production is completed, the anode carbon block is covered with electrolyte and other covering materials, and the electrolyte fills the gap between the anode steel claws.

[0003] In the production process, the residual anode can be considered for reuse after treatment, such as recycling anode guide rods, anode steel claws or anode carbon blocks, so the electrolyte on the residual anode needs to be removed before recycling. At present, most methods use a motor drive to set up a rotating chain, through the rotation of the metal chain, repeatedly hitting the electrolyte on the surface of the anode carbon block, thereby removing the electrolyte.

[0004] It is difficult to thoroughly clean the electrolyte on the residual anode by means of existing technology, because the chain can only hit the electrolyte on the outside of the residual anode and cannot contact the anode steel claws. Therefore, the electrolyte embedded between the anode steel claws cannot be cleaned and needs secondary cleaning; and the chain-type cleaning method easily causes a large amount of dust to fill the entire cleaning workshop, posing an environmental problem. Summary of the invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0035] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figures 1-2As shown, a pneumatic pick supporting device for manual electrolyte cleaning includes a box body 8 and a supporting seat 1. A recovery tank 81 is arranged in the box body 8, and a residual anode is arranged above the recovery tank 81. The residual anode is suspended above the recovery tank 81 and transported to the top of the recovery tank 81 through a conveying mechanism. After cleaning, it is transported away to enter the next process.

[0038] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the residual anode includes a guide rod 9 and a steel claw 91 connected to the guide rod 9, the steel claw 91 has a plurality of conductive claws, adjacent conductive claws are arranged at intervals, and the bottom ends of the plurality of conductive claws are connected to the anode carbon block 92 (the anode that has not been completely consumed), wherein the covering material such as the electrolyte 93 covers the upper surface of the anode carbon block 92 and fills the gaps between the adjacent conductive claws. Therefore, when cleaning the electrolyte 93, it is necessary to do it thoroughly to ensure that the electrolyte 93 on the anode carbon block 92 and in the gaps between the anode steel claws 91 are cleaned.

[0039] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in the present invention, the pneumatic pick 7 adopts the existing technology, which generally includes a sliding outer cylinder 71, a handle 73, a hammer head 72, etc. The specific principle will not be repeated here.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 16 As shown, a support seat 1 is provided on the box body 8, and a mounting block 11 is rotatably provided on the support seat 1. Specifically, a hole is provided on the support seat 1, and a bearing 18 is installed in the hole. One end of the mounting block 11 is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the bearing 18. A sliding hole 12 is provided inside the mounting block 11, and a pneumatic pick 7 is slidably provided in the sliding hole 12. The sliding outer cylinder 71 of the pneumatic pick 7 is slidably provided in the sliding hole 12; the pneumatic pick 7 is directly opposite to the steel claw 91 and can extend into the gap between the conductive claws.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 6, the pneumatic pick 7 is horizontally arranged, and faces the residual anode from the side, so that it can reach the gap between the conductive claws and thoroughly clean the electrolyte 93 in the gap between the anode steel claws 91. The pneumatic pick 7 can swing to a certain angle (such as Figure 6 As shown by the middle arrow, the pneumatic pick 7 can clean the gaps between the conductive claws without moving.

[0042] When the residual anode is transported to the top of the recovery tank 81, the pneumatic pick 7 can be manually held facing the steel claw 91 to clean the electrolyte 93 on the residual anode, and the angle of the pneumatic pick 7 can be rotated to allow the pneumatic pick 7 to extend into the gaps between the conductive claws to clean the electrolyte 93 in the gaps between the conductive claws, thereby completely removing the electrolyte 93 on the residual anode. The device can be used to save effort in manual operation, avoiding the problem of low cleaning efficiency and high labor intensity caused by direct hand holding of the pneumatic pick 7. Moreover, compared with the traditional chain-type cleaning method, it can effectively avoid the problem of a large amount of dust spreading throughout the cleaning workshop.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the electrolyte 93 has a thicker coating thickness. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, cleaning is done from the side. In this case, the cleaning efficiency is relatively slow and it takes a certain amount of time to clean the gap between the steel claws. Therefore, in general, it is necessary to first Figure 2 After cleaning part of the electrolyte 93 vertically / inclined downward at a certain angle, Figure 1 Cleaning the electrolyte 93 horizontally as shown makes it easier and less laborious to reach into the gaps between the conductive claws to clean the electrolyte 93 thoroughly.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 16 As shown, further, the pneumatic pick support device for manual electrolyte cleaning provided by the present invention also includes a mounting seat 2, a cylinder 6 is provided inside the mounting seat 2, two hinged parts 13 are extended from the bottom end of the support seat 1, and a hinged head 62 is provided at the end of the piston rod 61 of the cylinder 6, and the hinged head 62 and the hinged part 13 are hinged, specifically: a hinge shaft 63 is provided on the hinged head 62, and a hinge hole 14 is provided on the hinged part 13, and the hinge shaft 63 is rotatably provided in the hinge hole 14. A clamping groove 22 is provided at the upper end of the mounting seat 2, and a notch 21 is provided on one side of the clamping groove 22, and a clamping block 17 is provided at the bottom end of the support seat 1, and the clamping block 17 and the clamping groove 22 have the same shape, both of which are square, and the support seat 1 can be rotated and lowered to clamp the clamping block 17 in the clamping groove 22, so as to fix the support seat 1.

[0046] Furthermore, the upper end of the mounting seat 2 is provided with a fixing block 4, which is arranged on the opposite side of the clamping groove 22; the upper end of the fixing block 4 is symmetrically provided with two limit blocks 41, and the limit blocks 41 are provided with a cylinder 2 5, and the piston rod 2 51 of the cylinder is a positioning pin shaft; the hinge part 13 is provided with a long strip of sliding groove 15, and the ends of two adjacent hinge parts 13 are reinforced and fixed by a connecting block 16. When the support seat 1 rotates toward the fixing block 4, and the sliding groove 15 and the piston rod 2 51 are facing each other, the cylinder 2 5 controls the piston rod 2 51 to extend and clamp in the sliding groove 15. At this time, the cylinder 1 6 can be extended and extended, so that the support seat 1 as a whole rotates around the piston rod 2 51 as the axis, thereby changing the angle, during which the piston rod 2 51 slides in the sliding groove 15 relative to the hinge part 13.

[0047] Furthermore, the support seat 1 is provided with a column shape, and an arc-shaped limiting groove 23 is provided at the upper end of the mounting seat 2. The limiting groove 23 is provided on the outer side of the fixing block 4, and the support seat 1 can be rotatably arranged in the limiting groove 23. Preferably, the limiting groove 23 is arranged horizontally, and the support seat 1 is supported in the limiting groove 23 after rotating 90° (such as Figure 8 , 9 shown).

[0048] like Figures 1 to 16 As shown, mounting grooves 84 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper end of the box body 8, and a mounting seat 2 is slidably arranged in the mounting groove 84. A cylinder 3 82 is arranged inside the box body 8, and a piston rod 3 83 of the cylinder 3 82 is connected to the mounting seat 2 for transmission, so that the height of the entire pneumatic pick 7 supporting device can be adjusted.

[0049] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, in this state, the mounting seat 2 is set in the mounting groove 84, the support seat 1 rotates and descends so that the clamping block 17 is clamped in the clamping groove 22, the support seat 1 is fixed, and the pneumatic pick 7 is rotated to a horizontal position, and cleaning can be performed in the horizontal direction, and cleaning can be performed by rotating a certain angle on the horizontal plane.

[0050] like Figure 2 , 7 As shown in Figure 6, cylinder three 82 is extended to control the support device of the pneumatic pick 7 to rise to a high position, and then the support seat 1 is manually pulled to rotate in the direction of the limit groove 23, so that the support seat 1 is supported in the limit groove 23 after rotating 90°, and at this time the hinge shaft 63 and the slide groove 15 are directly opposite, and then the cylinder two 5 is controlled to extend, so that the piston rod two 51 extends into the slide groove 15; then the cylinder one 6 can be controlled to contract, during which the piston rod two 51 slides in the slide groove 15, pulling the support seat 1 to rotate away from the mounting seat 2, so as to change the angle of the pneumatic pick 7, so as to tilt it at a certain angle, realize vertical tilt, and clean the electrolyte 93 on the top from top to bottom.

[0051] The purpose of such design is: first, it can realize the change of the cleaning angle of the pneumatic pick 7, realize horizontal cleaning and inclined vertical cleaning operations, so as to realize the cleaning of the electrolyte 93 of the residual anode in order, save effort and thoroughly, especially the cleaning of the electrolyte 93 in the gap of the conductive steel claw 91; second, due to the inconsistent distance between the pneumatic pick 7 and the residual anode during horizontal or vertical cleaning, in order to reduce the design of the driving mechanism, the pneumatic pick 7 is rotated to an inclined state, that is, the cleaning operation is performed in the inclined direction toward the residual anode. Figure 2 As shown, the pneumatic pick 7 on the left side is pointing vertically downwards, and it is unable to clean the residual anode at this time. Instead, it needs to be rotated to the right side and tilted toward the residual anode to achieve the cleaning function.

[0052] It can be seen that the pneumatic pick 7 support device of the present application can achieve thorough cleaning of the residual anode both horizontally and vertically, and such a structure is convenient and fast, and the position of the pneumatic pick 7 can be quickly adjusted, and the angle of the pneumatic pick 7 can be quickly changed to achieve real-time adjustment. The entire pneumatic pick 7 is supported at the top, and the cleaner can perform the cleaning operation more labor-saving and more efficiently.

[0053] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
