Description

[0001] The present application relates to the field of machine or equipment cleaning, and in particular, to a cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] Carbon electrodes are widely used in metallurgy, chemical industry, electrochemistry and other fields, and are a commonly used industrial electrode. However, during the casting process of phosphorus pig iron, some overflowed or splashed phosphorus iron will adhere to the carbon electrode. These residues need to be removed before the carbon electrode is finally put into use to prevent impurities from entering the next process and affecting the purity of molten aluminum. The traditional cleaning process is carried out manually, which is inefficient and costly.

The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0030] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a cleaning device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 , the cleaning device 1000 includes a limiting pool 1100 and a main rail 1200. The limiting pool 1100 is used to accommodate the electrode 2000 to be cleaned, which provides a space for the cleaning electrode 2000 to move. The main rail 1200 is arranged on at least one side of the limiting pool 1100 and extends along a first direction. The cleaning device 1000 also includes a secondary rail 1300. One end of the secondary rail 1300 is slidably connected to one end of the main rail 1200, and the secondary rail 1300 extends along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0031] Figure 2 1 is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of the secondary guide rail 1300 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2, the cleaning device 1000 also includes a knock hammer 1410. The knock hammer 1410 is slidably connected to the other end of the auxiliary guide rail 1300 (i.e., the end of the auxiliary guide rail 1300 that faces away from the first guide rail 1200). The auxiliary guide rail 1300 extends along the second direction, and the knock hammer 1410 can slide relative to the auxiliary guide rail 1300 along the extension direction of the auxiliary guide rail 1300. In addition, since the main rail 1200 extends along the first direction, the auxiliary guide rail 1300 can drive the knock hammer 1410 and other cleaning components to slide on the main rail 1200 along the first direction. In other words, the auxiliary guide rail 1300 can move to the working area to be cleaned on the main rail 1100, thereby driving the knock hammer 1410 and other cleaning components to perform cleaning work in the desired working area.

[0032] According to an embodiment of the present application, the hammer 1410 can strike at least one surface of the electrode 2000 to be cleaned along a third direction (i.e., the direction of gravity) perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. Since the ferrophosphorus covering the surface of the electrode 2000 has the characteristics of high hardness and strong brittleness, the ferrophosphorus adhering to the surface of the electrode 2000 can be better cleaned by hammering.

[0033] In addition, in order to improve the cleaning efficiency and cleaning quality, cleaning components can be provided on both sides of the electrode 2000 to achieve synchronous cleaning of both sides of the electrode 2000. Specifically, the main rail 1200 includes a first main rail and a second main rail provided on both sides facing each other of the limiting pool 1100. Similarly, the auxiliary rail 1300 includes a first auxiliary rail and a second auxiliary rail respectively connected to the first main rail and the second main rail, and the knocking hammer 1410 includes a first knocking hammer and a second knocking hammer respectively connected to the first auxiliary rail and the second auxiliary rail.

[0034] Figure 3 2 is a schematic diagram of the outline of the electrode 2000. Generally speaking, the electrode has an irregular shape. For example, Figure 3 The electrode 2000 shown includes a planar area 2100 at the edge of the carbon bowl and a peripheral planar area 2200 outside the carbon bowl. After the steel claw is inserted into the interior of the carbon bowl and the ferrophosphorus is poured, the planar area 2100 at the edge of the carbon bowl including the contact area between the steel claw and the carbon bowl is covered with ferrophosphorus of different thicknesses, and the percussion hammer 1410 according to the embodiment of the present application can effectively clean the planar area 2100 at the edge of the carbon bowl of the electrode 2000. Specifically, the hammer head of the percussion hammer 1410 can be a cone, which has a stronger striking force and can more effectively clean the hard and brittle ferrophosphorus.

[0035] Figure 4 It is a partial schematic diagram of the reference surface milling cutter 1500 in the cleaning device 1000 according to the embodiment of the present application.

[0036] The cleaning device 1000 according to the embodiment of the present application can also effectively grind and clean the peripheral plane area 2200 on the outer side of the carbon bowl. Specifically, the cleaning device 1000 also includes a reference surface milling cutter 1500, which includes a reference sleeve 1510, a reference transmission shaft 1520 and a circular shovel 1530. The outer edge of the reference sleeve 1510 is slidably connected to one end of the secondary guide rail 1300 near the percussion hammer 1410 along the third direction, the reference transmission shaft 1520 is pivotally connected to the interior of the reference sleeve 1510, and one end of the reference transmission shaft 1520 is connected to the circular shovel 1530.

[0037] In the present application, when the reference surface milling cutter 1500 cleans the peripheral plane area 2200 on the outside of the carbon bowl, the reference sleeve 1510, the drive shaft 1520 and the circular shovel 1530 can slide in the third direction to determine the reference surface of the working area to be cleaned of the peripheral plane area 2200 on the outside of the carbon bowl.

[0038] According to the present application, the reference transmission shaft 1520 is pivotally connected to the inside of the reference sleeve 1510 to receive a power source from the reference sleeve 1510, which can be provided by a motor or a cylinder. Therefore, the reference transmission shaft 1520 can drive the circular shovel 1530 to rotate along the axis to efficiently clean (or remove) the phosphorus iron adhering to the peripheral plane area 2200 outside the carbon bowl.

[0039] Figure 5 It is a schematic side view of the positioning wheel 1420 in the cleaning device 1000 according to the embodiment of the present application.

[0040] refer to Figure 5 The cleaning device 1000 further includes a connecting plate 1400 and a positioning wheel 1420, wherein the connecting plate 1400 is fixedly connected to the auxiliary guide rail 1300. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 According to the present application, the cleaning device 1000 further includes a slide seat 1440 slidably connected to the main guide rail 1200 along the first direction and a slide rail 1430 fixed to the slide seat 1440, wherein the slide rail 1430 extends along the third direction. The connecting plate 1400 is slidably connected to the slide rail 1430 along the third direction, and drives the secondary guide rail 1300 to move in the third direction.

[0041] The positioning wheel 1420 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the connecting plate 1400. In addition, in the third direction, the relative position of the knock hammer 1410 and the auxiliary guide rail 1300 is fixed. In the case where the auxiliary guide rail 1300 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 1400, the relative position of the knock hammer 1410 and the connecting plate 1400 in the third direction is also fixed. Since the positioning wheel 1420 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 1400, the relative position of the knock hammer 1410 and the positioning wheel 1420 in the third direction is fixed.

[0042] Therefore, even if the connecting plate 1400 slides on the slide rail 1430 along the third direction, the height difference between the striking hammer 1410 and the positioning wheel 1420 in the third direction remains unchanged.

[0043] According to the present application, for the electrode 2000 whose surface is not covered with ferrophosphorus, the height difference between the plane area 2100 of the carbon bowl edge and the peripheral plane area 2200 of the carbon bowl outer side is fixed. Therefore, under the condition that the positioning wheel 1420 is in contact with the peripheral plane area 2200 of the carbon bowl outer side after cleaning, the distance between the hammer 1410 and the plane area 2100 of the carbon bowl edge of the electrode 2000 can be determined to avoid excessive cleaning of the surface of the electrode 2000 by the hammer 1410.

[0044] According to the present application, in order to ensure that the peripheral plane area 2200 on the outer side of the carbon bowl contacted by the positioning wheel 1420 is a cleaned plane, the cleaning device 1000 can clean the electrode 2000 in the following order.

[0045] First, the secondary guide rail 1300 drives the circular shovel 1530 to move along the first direction on the primary guide rail 1100. Since the ferrophosphorus covering the surface of the electrode 2000 is highly brittle, the circular shovel 1530 rotating along the reference transmission shaft 1520 can easily cut into the interface between the electrode and the ferrophosphorus from the edge of the ferrophosphorus deposited on the peripheral plane area 2200 outside the carbon bowl and remove the ferrophosphorus. Therefore, as the secondary guide rail 1300 moves, the circular shovel 1530 can clean a clean area in the peripheral plane area 2200 outside the carbon bowl, so that the positioning wheel 1420 can directly contact the cleaned peripheral plane area 2200 outside the carbon bowl, thereby realizing the positioning function.

[0046] Since the height difference between the striking hammer 1410 and the positioning wheel 1420 in the third direction is fixed and approximately equal to the height difference between the peripheral plane area 2200 of the outer side of the carbon bowl after cleaning and the plane area 2100 of the carbon bowl edge, if the positioning wheel 1420 contacts the surface of the peripheral plane area 2200 of the outer side of the carbon bowl after cleaning, the height between the striking hammer 1410 and the plane area 2100 of the carbon bowl edge can also reach the expected working height of the striking hammer 1410. In this case, the striking hammer 1410 can better clean the plane area 2100 of the carbon bowl edge while protecting the surface of the electrode 2000.

[0047] In addition, after the positioning wheel 1420 contacts the peripheral plane area 2200 on the outer side of the carbon bowl, the positioning wheel 1420 can maintain the tight pressure on the peripheral plane area 2200 on the outer side of the carbon bowl through the received power source (including the motor and the cylinder). Therefore, when the hammer 1410 cleans the plane area 2100 on the edge of the carbon bowl and causes the vibration of the electrode 2000, the positioning wheel 1420 pressing the peripheral plane area 2200 on the outer side of the carbon bowl can stabilize the electrode 2000, thereby keeping the height difference between the hammer 1410 and the positioning wheel 1420 in the third direction unchanged.

[0048] Figure 6 It is an enlarged schematic diagram of the lifting frame 1610 in the cleaning device 1000 according to the embodiment of the present application.

[0049] refer to Figure 6 According to the embodiment of the present application, the cleaning device 1000 further includes a lifting frame 1610, which is arranged at the bottom of the limiting pool 1100 and is telescopic along the third direction, and at least one bowl-bottom-shaped support member 1620 is arranged at the upper end of the lifting frame 1610. In order to adapt to the situation that the electrode 2000 may have different heights, shapes, materials, etc., on the basis that the percussion hammer 1410 and the round shovel 1530 can move in the third direction, the lifting frame 1610 can support the electrode 2000 while driving the electrode 2000 to move in the third direction. In addition, the bowl-bottom shape of the bowl-bottom-shaped support member 1620 can ensure the stability of the electrode 2000 in the third direction.

[0050] According to the present application, the cleaning device 1000 further includes a limit block fixing seat 1710, a limit shaft rod 1720 and a limit block 1730, the limit block fixing seat 1710 is fixedly connected to one end of the main rail 1200, the limit shaft rod 1720 is arranged inside the limit block fixing seat 1710 and is telescopic relative to the limit block fixing seat 1710 along the second direction, and the limit block 1730 is connected to the free end of the limit shaft rod 1720, and when the limit shaft rod 1720 is extended, the limit block 1730 limits the movement of the electrode 2000 in the first direction. Specifically, the limit block 1730 receives a power source from the limit block fixing seat 1710, and the power source can be provided by a motor or a cylinder.

[0051] Figure 7 It is an enlarged schematic diagram of the push block assembly 1800 in the cleaning device 1000 according to the embodiment of the present application.

[0052] refer to Figure 7 The cleaning device 1000 further includes a push block assembly 1800, which includes a push block fixing seat 1810, a push rod shaft 1820 and a push block 1830. The push block fixing seat 1810 is fixedly connected to the main rail 1200. The push rod shaft 1820 is disposed inside the push block fixing seat 1810 and is telescopic relative to the push block 1830 fixing seat along the second direction. The push block 1830 is connected to the free end of the push rod shaft 1820. When the push rod shaft 1820 is extended, the push block 1830 abuts against the electrode 2000.

[0053] According to the present application, the push block 1830 receives a power source from the push block fixing seat 1810, and the power source can be provided by a motor or a cylinder. Specifically, the push block 1830 can actively squeeze the electrode 2000 to ensure the stability and balance of the electrode 2000 in the second direction, thereby enabling the hammer 1410 and the round shovel 1530 to clean the electrode 2000 according to the expected working area.

[0054] Specifically, the push block 1830 includes a pulley shaft 1831 extending along the first direction and a pulley 1832 rolling around the pulley shaft 1831. Arranging the pulley 1832 to roll along the pulley shaft 1831 can reduce the resistance of the electrode 2000 when moving in the third direction, and can also reduce the wear of the push block 1830.
