[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. 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.

[0024] See also Figure 1-Figure 8 The present invention provides a technical solution for an electrode storage tube, and its detailed connection means are well-known technologies in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and the specific work is as follows.

[0025] An electrode storage cylinder comprises: a cylinder body 1, an end cover 2 and a length measuring device 3.

[0026] The cylinder body 1 is divided into an upper cylinder body 11 and a lower cylinder body 12 along a radially divided horizontal plane. The upper cylinder body 11 and the lower cylinder body 12 are hinged to each other. The hinged structure facilitates the opening and closing of the storage cylinder, improves the convenience of accessing the electrodes, and at the same time, in order to prevent external pollutants from entering the cylinder body 1, keep the internal electrodes dry and clean, and ensure the sealing effect, an annular sealing strip is provided at the joint surface (along the radially divided horizontal plane) between the upper cylinder body 11 and the lower cylinder body 12. The sealing strip is continuously distributed along the axial direction of the cylinder body 1 to ensure that there is no gap in the entire closed area, thereby improving the sealing effect. The sealing strip adopts an embedded design, so that the sealing strip is compressed and deformed after the cylinder body 1 is closed, thereby enhancing the sealing performance. In order to ensure that the cylinder body 1 is stably fixed after closing and avoid loosening due to vibration or external force, it includes but is not limited to symmetrically arranging multiple locking buckles on the outside of the cylinder body 1. The barrel 1 is fixed by a method not shown in the figure, such as a quick lock or a lever-type fastener, which is fixed by a locking buckle after the barrel 1 is closed. The buckle has an elastic pre-tightening mechanism to ensure the close fit between the upper half 11 of the barrel and the lower half 12 of the barrel, thereby enhancing the sealing effect. The two end covers 2 are respectively located at the two ends of the barrel 1, and the two end covers 2 are both arranged on the upper half 11 of the barrel. The connection between the end covers 2 and the barrel 1 adopts an O-ring or a rubber sealing gasket to ensure the close fit between the end covers 2 and the barrel 1 to prevent dust or moisture from entering the barrel. When the barrel 1 is in an open state, the two end covers 2 are away from the lower half 12 of the barrel, and the lower half 12 of the barrel is in an open state, which is convenient for the storage and access of the electrode. The length measuring device 3 is arranged on one end cover 2, which is used to measure the length of the electrode in the barrel 1, so as to monitor the electrode consumption in real time and ensure reasonable storage and management.

[0027] The length measuring device 3 includes: a first housing 31 , a first rotating shaft 32 , a first pointer 33 , a telescopic connecting assembly 34 , a push plate 35 , a first traction rope 36 and a first resetting member 37 .

[0028] The first shell 31 is arranged on the outer wall of an end cover 2 as an external protective structure of the measuring system to protect the internal measuring mechanism from the influence of the external environment and improve durability. The first rotating shaft 32 is rotatably arranged at the center of the first shell 31. The first rotating shaft 32 realizes the visual display of the electrode length by linkage with the measuring mechanism to ensure the accuracy of measurement. The first pointer 33 is arranged on the annular outer wall of the first rotating shaft 32. The first pointer 33 moves with the first rotating shaft 32 to indicate the real-time length of the electrode so as to read the data intuitively. One end of the telescopic connection component 34 is arranged on the inner wall of the end cover 2. The main function of the telescopic connection component 34 is to guide and control the push plate 35 to move in a straight line direction to ensure that the push plate 35 can move with the electrode during the measurement process. Extremely reliable contact, can adapt to electrodes of different sizes, and provide a stable measurement benchmark. The telescopic connection component 34 includes but is not limited to the parallel motion characteristics of the parallel four-bar structure to ensure that the push plate 35 always remains along the axial direction of the end cover 2 throughout the entire stroke to avoid tilting or offset, thereby improving measurement accuracy and stability. The telescopic connection component 34 can also adopt a guide rod + guide sleeve structure or a sleeve-type telescopic structure to provide smooth and reliable axial movement to adapt to different measurement requirements. The push plate 35 is arranged at the other end of the telescopic connection component 34 to directly contact the electrode to ensure measurement consistency and accuracy. One end of the first traction rope 36 is connected to the push plate 35, and the other end of the first traction rope 36 passes through the end cover 2 and is connected to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft 32. The traction rope 36 is arranged around the outer wall of the first rotating shaft 32 for multiple turns to amplify the proportional relationship between the linear displacement of the push plate 35 and the angular displacement of the first rotating shaft 32, thereby expanding the measuring range of the first pointer 33. A rope groove or a winding wheel is arranged on the outer wall of the first rotating shaft 32, and the first traction rope 36 is wound on the rope groove or the winding wheel, so that when the push plate 35 moves axially, the first traction rope 36 is pulled, and the first rotating shaft 32 is driven to rotate at an angle through the winding structure to transmit the displacement signal and perform measurement. The first traction rope 36 transmits the displacement signal during the measurement process to ensure the synchronous response of the push plate 35 and the first rotating shaft 32, thereby improving the measurement accuracy. The first traction rope 36 is a flexible member, and the path of the first traction rope 36 passes through at least one guide wheel ( The first traction rope 36 is provided to constrain the push plate 35 and the end cover 2, and the first reset member 37 is provided between the push plate 35 and the end cover 2, and the reset member provides elastic restoring force to ensure that the measuring mechanism is reset after the electrode is unloaded, so as to improve the repeatability of the system. The first reset member 37 includes but is not limited to using a compression spring to provide elastic restoring force, and after the push plate 35 is displaced by pressure, the spring force is used to reset it.Ensure the reliability of the system and the repeatability of the measurement.

[0029] An elastic element is arranged between the first rotating shaft 32 and the first shell 31. The elastic element is not shown in the figure. The first rotating shaft 32 can automatically return to its position after the measurement is completed, thereby improving the convenience of the measuring system and reducing manual operation. The elastic element deflects under the action of external force through its own elastic mechanism, and returns to its initial position after the external force disappears, thereby ensuring reliable resetting of the measuring device. The elastic element includes but is not limited to the method of integrating a torsion spring between the first shell 31 and the first rotating shaft 32. When the elastic element is driven to deflect by an external force, the torsion spring stores elastic potential energy, and the elastic element returns to its initial position after being released.

[0030] An auxiliary ring 38 is provided on the inner wall of the end cap 2. The push plate 35, the auxiliary ring 38 and the end cap 2 are on the same axis. The concave structure of the auxiliary ring 38 matches the shape of the electrode. At the same time, the auxiliary ring 38 and the end cap 2 are detachably connected. Auxiliary rings 38 with different inner diameters are used for electrodes of different diameters to provide guidance when the electrode is inserted, ensuring that the electrode can be correctly placed inside the cylinder 1 along a predetermined trajectory to avoid tilting or offset. The concave structure can also initially limit the electrode after it is placed, reduce electrode shaking, and improve the stability of the measurement system. In addition, the end structure of the auxiliary ring 38 can effectively constrain the movement range of the push plate 35, ensuring that the push plate 35 always moves axially during the measurement process to prevent measurement errors.

[0031] The restoring force generated by the first restoring member 37 is greater than the restoring force of the first rotating shaft 32 , ensuring that the push plate 35 can quickly restore to its initial state when the electrode is unloaded, thereby reducing errors caused by insufficient restoring.

[0032] The telescopic connection assembly 34 is telescopically extended in the direction of the axis of the end cover 2, ensuring that the displacement direction of the push plate 35 is aligned with the axial direction of the electrode, thereby reducing measurement errors and improving accuracy.

[0033] The cylinder 1 is composed of a plurality of interconnected cylinder sections, each of which is detachably connected and can be flexibly adjusted according to the electrode length requirements to meet the storage requirements of electrodes of different specifications. By increasing or decreasing the number of cylinder sections, the overall length of the cylinder 1 can be effectively adjusted to ensure that the storage space matches the electrode length, avoiding space waste and inaccurate measurement results. The connection methods of the multi-section cylinder 1 include but are not limited to flange bolt connection, snap-on quick-release connection, rotary locking structure or slide groove interlocking structure to meet the needs of different usage scenarios. The design is easy to disassemble, transport and maintain.

[0034] The outer wall of the first shell 31 is provided with a scale, which matches the first pointer 33. The outer wall of the first shell 31 is provided with multiple groups of scales, which are circumferentially distributed on the outer wall of the first shell 31 with different diameters to meet the measurement requirements of electrodes of different lengths. The multiple groups of scales are calibrated according to a preset electrode length range, so that when storing electrodes of different lengths, the user can compare the position of the first pointer 33 with the scale of the corresponding group to read the electrode length data. The long electrode scale, medium electrode scale and short electrode scale areas can be set respectively to avoid misreading and improve measurement accuracy.

[0035] The upper part 11 of the cylinder is provided with an observation window (not shown in the figure), which is convenient for directly checking the status of the electrodes inside the cylinder, reducing unnecessary disassembly and improving work efficiency.

[0036] The elastic coefficient of the first reset member 37 is adjustable to adapt to electrodes of different specifications to ensure the versatility and adaptability of the measurement system. The first reset member 37 includes but is not limited to the use of a multi-section spring system. The first reset member 37 is designed as a combination of multiple springs, and the reset force is adjusted by switching different spring combinations.

[0037] At least one diameter measuring device 4, at least one diameter measuring device 4 is arranged on the inner wall of the upper half 11 of the cylinder, The diameter measuring device 4 includes: a base 401, a sliding rod 402, a first rack 403, a second reset member 404, a second rack 405, a first gear 406, a swing arm 407, a second gear 408, a sleeve 409, a double-rod hinge mechanism 410, a second rotating shaft 411, a second traction rope 412, a second shell 413 and a second pointer 414.

[0038] The base 401 is arranged on the inner wall of the upper half 11 of the cylinder, providing a support structure for the diameter measuring device 4 to ensure the stability of the measuring system. The slide bar 402 is arranged on the base 401 radially along the upper half 11 of the cylinder, and is used to guide the first rack 403 to move radially, so that the motion trajectory of the first rack 403 is stable and to prevent deviation during the sliding process. The surface of the slide bar 402 can adopt a low-friction coating or a ball guide to reduce friction. The first rack 403 is sleeved on the slide bar 402 and meshes with the first gear 406 to convert the linear displacement into a rotation signal. The second reset member 404 is arranged in the inner cavity of the sleeve 409, and the second reset member 404 is located between the sleeve 409 and the slide bar 402. Its core function is to push the first rack 403 after the measurement is completed. The rack 403 returns to the initial position to ensure the continuous operation of the system, reduce human intervention, and improve measurement efficiency. The second reset member 404 includes but is not limited to the use of a high-elasticity compression spring to ensure that the measuring mechanism is always subjected to the reset force during the movement, to ensure that the rack can be stably returned to its position, and to avoid the accumulation of mechanical errors. The second rack 405 is arranged in parallel on the side wall of the first rack 403 to maintain the synchronization of the second rack 405 and the first rack 403. The two first gears 406 are both rotatably arranged on the base 401. The two first gears 406 are mirror-imaged on both sides of the first rack 403, and the two first gears 406 are respectively meshed with the first rack 403. The two swing arms 407 are mirror-imaged on both sides of the first rack 403, and the two swing arms 4 07 are respectively fixedly connected to the two first gears 406, the two second gears 408 are coaxially arranged with the two first gears 406, and the two second gears 408 are meshed with the second rack 405, and the two sleeves 409 are respectively sleeved on the two swing arms 407 to provide guidance and support, and cooperate with the double-rod hinge mechanism 410. During the rotation of the swing arm 407 toward the electrode, the sleeve 409 moves in the direction away from the second gear 408, so that the far end of the sleeve 409 from the second gear 408 is attached to the outer wall of the electrode, and the attachment point is above the radial split horizontal plane, so that the second traction rope 412 is attached to the electrode to ensure the accuracy of the measurement. At the same time, the far ends of the two sleeves 409 from the base 401 are provided with rollers to facilitate the second traction The rope 412 slides, the double-rod hinge mechanism 410 is connected to the second gear 408 and the sleeve 409, one end of the double-rod hinge mechanism 410 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped outer wall of the second gear 408, and the other end of the double-rod hinge mechanism 410 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the sleeve 409, and a stable displacement transmission is achieved through the hinge structure of the two connecting rods. The double-rod hinge mechanism 410 includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, and the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are hinged to each other. The far end of the first connecting rod from the hinge point is fixedly connected to the second gear 408, the first connecting rod serves as a driving rod, and the far end of the second connecting rod from the hinge point is rotatably connected to the sleeve 409, and the second connecting rod serves as a transmission rod, wherein the position of the hinge point can be adjusted by a threaded adjustment structure or a slide groove, which is not shown in the figure.The length of the connecting rod can be fine-tuned according to different electrode diameters, ensuring that the measuring mechanism can adapt to the measurement requirements of electrodes of different specifications, and improving the adaptability of the system. The second rotating shaft 411 is rotatably set on the outer wall of the upper half 11 of the cylinder, and the two ends of the second traction rope 412 are mirror-connected to the two sides of the annular outer wall of the second rotating shaft 411, and the second traction rope 412 passes through the outer wall of the upper half 11 of the cylinder and abuts against the far ends of the two sleeves 409 away from the base 401. The second traction rope 412 is slidably connected to the sleeve 409 and guided by a guide pulley, which is not shown in the figure, so that the second traction rope 412 can slide freely when the sleeve 409 moves, while maintaining the tension of the second traction rope 412 in the traction direction, thereby ensuring the second rotating shaft 41 1 can obtain stable angular displacement. The second traction rope 412 is wound around the outer wall of the second rotating shaft 411 and wound in multiple turns. The second traction rope 412 is connected to both sides of the second rotating shaft 411. Its main function is to cause the second rotating shaft 411 to produce angular displacement through the winding and release of the second traction rope 412. When an external force acts on the second traction rope 412, the pulling of the second traction rope 412 will form a torque, thereby driving the second rotating shaft 411 to rotate. The second shell 413 is arranged on the outside of the second traction rope 412, and the second rotating shaft 411 passes through the end surface of the second shell 413. The second pointer 414 is arranged on the annular outer wall of the second rotating shaft 411, and the second pointer 414 is located outside the second shell 413.

The design of the arc-shaped swing arm 407 can optimize the motion trajectory, so that the swing arm 407 fits the electrode surface during rotation, thereby improving the stability of measurement.

[0040] When the first rack 403 and the second rack 405 move the same path, the rotation angle of the first gear 406 is smaller than the rotation angle of the second gear 408. When the two swing arms 407 rotate towards each other, with the cooperation of the second rack 405, the second gear 408 and the double-rod hinge mechanism 410, the sleeve 409 will move along the swing arm 407 away from the base 401. Conversely, when the two swing arms 407 rotate in opposite directions, the sleeve 409 will move along the swing arm 407 towards the base 401.

[0041] A pad 415 is provided at the far end of the first rack 403 from the base 401 , and the pad 415 is used to contact the outer wall of the electrode to ensure that the measuring mechanism can fit the electrode closely during the measurement process, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the measurement.

[0042] An elastic element is provided between the second rotating shaft 411 and the upper half of the cylinder 11 (not shown). The elastic reset shaft can automatically return to the initial position after the measurement is completed, thereby improving the repeatability of the measurement.

[0043] The first traction rope 36 and the second traction rope 412 have high tensile strength and low elongation. The high tensile strength ensures that the first traction rope 36 and the second traction rope 412 will not break due to force during long-term use, thereby improving the durability of the system. The low elongation design ensures that the first traction rope 36 and the second traction rope 412 will not undergo obvious deformation during the pulling process, thereby improving the accuracy of the measurement system.

[0044] A fixing device 5 is provided on the inner wall of the cylinder 1, and is used for effectively supporting the electrode to ensure that it remains stable during storage and measurement, prevents measurement errors caused by shaking or vibration, and improves measurement accuracy. The fixing device 5 includes: a first connecting belt 51, a lower clamping plate 52, a second connecting belt 53, an upper clamping plate 54, a first top plate 55 and a second top plate 56.

The two second connecting belts 53 are symmetrically arranged at the two ends of the upper clamping plate 54, and the two second connecting belts 53 are fixed on the inner wall of the upper half 11 of the cylinder body at the far ends away from the upper clamping plate 54, and are close to the lower edge of the upper half 11 of the cylinder body. The first connecting belt 51 and the second connecting belt 53 are symmetrically distributed to make them evenly stressed, improve the stability of the overall structure, reduce deformation or relaxation caused by uneven force on one side, and improve the clamping effect. The two first top plates The two first top plates 55 are mirror-imaged on the inner wall of the lower half 12 of the cylinder, the connection between the two first top plates 55 and the lower half 12 of the cylinder is located below the connection between the two first connecting belts 51 and the lower half 12 of the cylinder, the two first top plates 55 are respectively abutted against the corresponding two first connecting belts 51 at the far ends of the lower half 12 of the cylinder, and at the same time, the far ends of the two first top plates 55 at the lower half 12 of the cylinder are higher than the top horizontal plane of the lower half 12 of the cylinder, at this time, the two first connecting belts 51 are in a taut state, the two second top plates 56 are mirror-imaged on the inner wall of the upper half 11 of the cylinder, and the connection between the two second top plates 56 and the upper half 11 of the cylinder is located above the connection between the two second connecting belts 53 and the upper half 11 of the cylinder The two second top plates 56 are respectively in contact with the corresponding two second connecting belts 53 at the far ends of the upper half 11 of the cylinder, and the far ends of the two second top plates 56 at the far ends of the upper half 11 of the cylinder are higher than the split plane of the lower half 12 of the cylinder. At this time, the two second connecting belts 53 are in a taut state, wherein the first connecting belt 51 and the second connecting belt 53 are elastic belts, and the first connecting belt 51 and the second connecting belt 53 are made of highly elastic materials, which can provide a stable clamping force and maintain a good reset ability during long-term use to avoid permanent deformation caused by long-term stress. The elasticity of the first connecting belt 51 is greater than that of the second connecting belt 53, ensuring that the first connecting belt 51 can provide when the electrode is stored. Stronger supporting force enables the electrode to maintain a relatively centered position, improves the stability of the storage system, and provides a buffering effect when the electrode is placed, reduces the impact caused by the free fall of the electrode, and improves the safety of the storage system. The first top plate 55 and the second top plate 56 are staggered when the upper half 11 of the cylinder and the lower half 12 of the cylinder are closed. When the upper half 11 of the cylinder and the lower half 12 of the cylinder are closed, the first top plate 55 and the second top plate 56 exert an extrusion force on the first connecting belt 51 and the second connecting belt 53, causing the elastic belt to deform moderately, thereby enhancing the fixing effect on the electrode, improving the shock resistance, reducing the displacement error caused by vibration or external force interference, and improving the fixing effect of the electrode.

[0046] Working principle: First, according to the length of the electrode, a suitable number of cylinder sections are selected to form a cylinder 1 of matching length, and the first reset member 37 and the second reset member 404 are adjusted to match the electrode, and the push plate 35 is pushed into the auxiliary ring 38 to preliminarily fix the angle of the first pointer 33, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the push plate 35, and then the electrode is placed on the lower clamping plate 52, so that one end of the electrode is kept at a suitable distance from the end cover 2, the first connecting belt 51 is elastically stretched, and then the first pointer 33 is released. Under the action of the first reset member 37, the push plate 35 will abut against the other end of the electrode, and the push plate 35 pulls the first pointer 33. A traction rope 36 and the first rotating shaft 32 rotate synchronously, and the first pointer 33 matches the corresponding scale to observe the initial length data of the electrode, and then the upper half 11 of the cylinder is closed and fixed. When the upper half 11 of the cylinder and the lower half 12 of the cylinder are closed, the upper clamping plate 54 and the lower clamping plate 52 clamp the electrode, and the first connecting belt 51 and the second connecting belt 53 are elastically deformed. At the same time, the deformation of the first connecting belt 51 and the second connecting belt 53 is increased under the action of the first top plate 55 and the second top plate 56, so as to further enhance the fixing effect of the electrode and avoid damage to the electrode during transportation. During the closing process of the upper half 11 and the lower half 12 of the cylinder, the outer wall of the electrode contacts the cushion block 415 and squeezes the first rack 403 to slide toward the base 401, the second reset member 404 is compressed, and the first gear 406 and the second gear 408 rotate synchronously, the two swing arms 407 rotate in opposite directions, and the two sleeves 409 slide away from the base 401 until the two sleeves 409 drive the second traction rope 412 to wrap around the outer wall of the electrode, and the second rotating shaft 411 drives the second pointer 414 to rotate. The initial value of the radius of the electrode at this point can be obtained according to the scale matching the second pointer 414. When the electrode is put back into the cylinder 1 after use, the first pointer 33 and the second pointer 414 can be compared to observe the changes in the length and diameter of the electrode, so as to determine whether the electrode meets the use standards. Figure 3 The second traction rope 412 is in a fully extended state. Figure 7 The second traction rope 412 is in a wound state; The number of electrode storage cylinders is configured in 3+1, that is, three electrodes in normal use, mainly used for power supply and arc heating, and one spare electrode for replacing electrodes with excessive wear to ensure production continuity.
