Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of anode carbon block production equipment, and in particular relates to an energy-saving automated anode carbon block conveying system and a conveying method. Background Art

[0002] Currently, before being loaded into the roasting furnace bin, anode carbon blocks are conveyed from the forming workshop to the roasting workshop via a conveyor. On the conveyor, they pass through the guide rod bowl-shaped covering material adding station, where covering material is manually added and tamped. Then, the blocks are moved from their flat position to an upright, staggered arrangement of blocks on guide rod bowls. Each group of 7-8 blocks is arranged in double rows on the marshalling station's bin. A manually operated multifunctional clamping unit then arrives at the bin. The clamping unit's built-in device picks up the arranged blocks from the bin and lifts them to a certain height. The clamping unit then moves along the unit's trolley track, carrying the blocks to the vicinity of the bin to be loaded into the furnace. The clamping trolley on the unit then moves along the vertical track across the span of the workshop, dropping the blocks from the top of the bin into the bin. After multiple layers of blocks are stacked in the bin, a multifunctional suction and unloading unit adds filler to cover the blocks, and roasting begins.

[0003] After the roasted carbon blocks are cooled to a certain temperature in the material box, the suction device of the multifunctional suction unit sucks the covering material of the carbon blocks from the material box to the upper hopper of the unit, and the carbon blocks are exposed in the material box. The multifunctional clamp unit then runs to the top of the material box, and the clamp clamps the carbon blocks from the material box and lifts them to a certain height, and places the carbon blocks on the fixed position unpacking machine. The unpacking mechanism changes the two rows of carbon blocks from upright position with the guide rods and bowls staggered to a flat position with all the bowls facing upwards. The carbon blocks are moved along the width direction and transported by the conveyor to the carbon block cleaning machine for cleaning of surface adhesives and then transported to the carbon block storage position, stacked and stored on the workshop floor, and then cooled.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] It also includes a cooling and unpacking mechanism 8. A multifunctional unit 7 is arranged above the cooling and unpacking mechanism 8 and the furnace chamber system 12. The cooling and unpacking mechanism 8 includes a transmission chain 83 with a driving device 82. A carbon block frame 81 that cooperates with the anode carbon block is arranged on the transmission chain 83. A block pushing cylinder 84 is arranged on the side of the end of the transmission chain 83.

[0042] The transmission chain 83 includes chain plates 85 on both sides, a roller group 86 is provided between the chain plates 85 on both sides, and gaps are provided between the rollers of the roller group 86; a coke particle collection device 87 is provided below the transmission chain 83.

[0043] A discharge conveyor belt 10 is provided at the end of the transmission chain 83 corresponding to the position of the block pushing cylinder 84 , and a carbon block cleaning machine 9 is also provided corresponding to the discharge conveyor belt 10 .

[0044] The furnace chamber system 12 includes multiple furnace chambers, and the track 5 includes an end track corresponding to each furnace chamber and a head end track corresponding to the end of the marshalling and transfer mechanism 3. The head end track and the end end track are connected through a turntable 6 and a connecting track.

[0045] The end of the marshalling and transferring mechanism 3 is docked with the track 5 through a transverse trolley 11. The transverse trolley 11 is provided with a trolley rail 111 that is docked with the track 5. The coal block transport vehicle 4 can be moved onto the trolley rail 111 of the transverse trolley 11; the lower end of the transverse trolley 11 is provided with a transverse walking wheel 112, and a transverse oil cylinder 113 is provided on the side of the transverse trolley 11.

[0046] The charcoal block transport vehicle 4 includes a vehicle body 41, a travel drive device 42 cooperating with the track 5 is provided at the bottom of the vehicle body 41, a charcoal block slide 43 corresponding to the marshalling and transfer mechanism 3 is provided inside the vehicle body 41, and fixed frames 44 are provided on both sides of the charcoal block slide 43 to prevent the charcoal blocks from tipping over, and a clamping and centering device 45 is provided on the fixed frame 44.

[0047] A power supply device 46 is provided at the bottom of the vehicle body 41. The power supply device 46 includes a power supply frame 47 connected to the vehicle body 41. A power supply post 49 is provided in the power supply frame 47 through a spring 48. The power supply post 49 is in contact with the ground power supply system.

[0048] The charcoal block transport vehicle 4 adopts a low-power rail power supply mode, which greatly reduces power consumption compared to the traditional multi-functional unit 7 operation mode.

[0049] Two groups of carbon block slides 43 are arranged on the vehicle body 41, and the fixed frame 44 includes side frames 410 arranged on both sides of the two groups of carbon block slides 43 and an intermediate frame 411 between the two carbon block slides 43. The clamping and centering device 45 includes a clamping hydraulic cylinder 412 arranged on the vehicle body 41, and the clamping hydraulic cylinder 412 is connected to the connecting rod assemblies 413 on both sides of the carbon block slides 43. The middle part of the connecting rod assembly 413 intersects with the fixed frame 44, and the ends of the two connecting rod assemblies 413 are provided with centering splints 414 corresponding to the carbon block slides 43.

[0050] After the clamping and centering device 45 receives the centering action signal, the clamping hydraulic cylinder 412 drives the connecting rod assembly 413 to move, and the paired connecting rod assemblies 413 move inward, so that the centering clamps 414 at the ends of the connecting rod assemblies 413 push the carbon blocks to the center, so that the carbon blocks in the rows are all in a centered and upright state. The two rows of carbon blocks are arranged in the center to ensure the center distance size of the two rows of carbon blocks. This size is particularly important for the multifunctional unit 7 because the center distance of the double-row clamping mechanism on the multifunctional unit 7 is consistent with the center distance of the two rows of carbon blocks and the center distance between adjacent material boxes in the furnace. Only by ensuring the center distance size of the row can the stability of the carbon blocks after clamping is guaranteed, thereby ensuring the safety of the unit trolley after it is raised to the moving height after clamping, and avoiding the risk of the block rows being scattered due to misalignment. At the same time, it can meet the needs of mixed carbon blocks of different widths. The width of the carbon blocks in the row is different, and the center distance size can still be guaranteed after centering.

[0051] The intermediate frame 411 is also provided with a hydraulic station for clamping the hydraulic cylinder 412 .

[0052] A fixed safety rod 417 is provided at one end of the carbon block slide 43 , and a lifting cylinder 416 is provided at the bottom of the carbon block input end of the carbon block slide 43 , and the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 416 is connected to the lifting safety rod 415 on the vehicle body 41 .

[0053] A lifting safety bar 415 is provided at the charcoal block input end of the charcoal block transporter 4, and a fixed safety bar 417 is provided at the other end of the charcoal block transporter 4. Before the charcoal blocks are pushed in, the lifting safety bar 415 is in a low position and does not affect the pushing in of the charcoal blocks. When a sufficient number of charcoal blocks have been pushed in, the pushing in of the charcoal blocks is stopped. At the same time, the lifting safety bar 415 is raised, and the charcoal blocks are safely enclosed in the charcoal block receiving area on the charcoal block transporter 4. This also prevents the charcoal blocks from tilting sideways and falling when the charcoal block transporter 4 is moving.

[0054] The carbon block slide 43 is composed of a guide roller group 418 to reduce the resistance when the carbon blocks are pushed onto the vehicle.

[0055] The automatic bowl guiding device 2 includes a frame 21 arranged above the carbon block conveyor belt 1, and a carbon block detection device 28, a covering material adding system and a covering material tamping device are sequentially arranged on the frame 21 from the carbon block input end to the carbon block output end; the covering material adding system includes a covering material main material pipe 26, and a branch discharge pipe 24 with an independent branch discharge valve 25 is arranged below the covering material main material pipe 26; a transition silo 210 corresponding to the branch discharge pipe 24 is arranged on the frame 21, and a weighing mechanism 211 is arranged between the transition silo 210 and the frame 21; a feeding valve corresponding to the carbon block conveyor belt 1 is arranged at the lower end of the transition silo 210; the covering material tamping device includes a synchronous transverse movement device 22 arranged on the frame 21, and the synchronous transverse movement device 22 is connected to the tamping cylinder 23, and the tamping cylinder 23 corresponds to the carbon block conveyor belt 1.

[0056] A covering material recovery system is provided at the bottom of the frame 21, and the covering material recovery system includes a recovery belt conveyor 212 located below the carbon block conveyor belt 1. The end of the recovery belt conveyor 212 corresponds to the material pit 29, and a return belt conveyor 27 is provided between the material pit 29 and the covering material main pipe 26.

[0057] When the present invention is used, step one: the charcoal blocks are conveyed via the charcoal block conveyor belt 1 to the automatic bowl guiding device 2 for guide rod and bowl guiding processing. They first pass through the charcoal block detection device 28, which identifies the model, size, bowl-mouth spacing, and shape of the charcoal blocks and transmits the data to the control system to determine the amount of covering material to be added and the discharge position. The control system calculates the required amount of covering material to be added based on the charcoal block model. The covering material in the covering material main pipe 26 flows into the branch discharge pipe 24. The system controls the branch discharge valve 25 to open, and the covering material enters the corresponding transition silo 210. The weighing mechanism 211 of the transition silo 210 detects the weight of the covering material in the silo in real time to ensure accurate feeding. The charcoal blocks continue to move forward with the conveyor belt and enter the covering material tamping device. The synchronous transverse movement device 22 adjusts the position of the tamping cylinder 23 so that the tamping cylinder 23 is directly opposite the bowl mouth of the charcoal block. The tamping cylinder 23 moves downward to compact the covering material in the bowl mouth, thereby improving the stability and density of the covering material. During the addition and tamping process of the covering material, some of the scattered covering material falls into the recovery belt conveyor 212. The recovery belt conveyor 212 transports the scattered covering material to the material pit 29 to prevent waste. The return belt conveyor 27 transports the covering material in the material pit 29 back to the covering material main pipe 26 to achieve the recycling of the covering material.

[0058] Step 2: The charcoal blocks continue to move along the conveyor belt to the marshalling and transferring mechanism 3. Based on the charcoal block model detected by the charcoal block detection device 28, the furnace chamber to which the charcoal blocks should be sent is determined. The charcoal block transport vehicle 4, powered by the track 5 power supply system, runs to the trolley rail 111 on the transverse trolley 11 and stops. The power supply device 46 ensures stable power supply to the charcoal block transport vehicle 4 during the loading process. The clamping and centering device 45 is in a loose state, preparing for the loading of charcoal blocks. The charcoal block marshalling and transferring mechanism 3 pushes the charcoal blocks onto a charcoal block slide 43 of the charcoal block transport vehicle 4. After the charcoal block slide 43 is full of charcoal blocks, the lifting safety rod 415 is raised to safely surround the charcoal block row to prevent the charcoal blocks from tilting sideways or falling. The traverse trolley 11 moves laterally, pushing the charcoal block onto another charcoal block slide 43. After the block loading operation is completed, the clamping hydraulic cylinder 412 is activated, pushing the connecting rod assembly 413, causing the centering clamping plate 414 to move inward, centering the charcoal block and keeping it upright and stable, ensuring the accuracy of the subsequent clamping operation of the multi-functional unit 7. The charcoal block transport vehicle 4 receives the operation command, leaves the loading position, enters the conveyor track 5, and proceeds to the target furnace chamber for charcoal block loading.

[0059] Step 3: The charcoal block transport vehicle 4 determines the travel route according to the detected charcoal block model, automatically travels along the predetermined path, and transports the charcoal blocks to the material box of the designated furnace chamber; during the travel process, the charcoal block transport vehicle 4 remains in a clamped state to prevent the charcoal blocks from tilting or falling; when the track needs to be changed, the transport vehicle enters the turntable 6, the turntable 6 rotates to the specified angle, aligns the track 5, and the transport vehicle continues to travel to the destination.

[0060] Step 4: The charcoal block transport vehicle 4 arrives at the designated furnace chamber, the multifunctional unit 7 starts the clamp to clamp the charcoal block, lifts it to a safe height, and the clamp moves the charcoal block to the top of the material box in the furnace chamber. The clamp lowers the charcoal block to the bottom of the material box, releases the clamping device, and the delivery is completed; the clamp repeats the above steps until the material box is full; the multifunctional unit 7 starts the feeding device and automatically adds covering material into the material box.

[0061] Step 5: After the carbon blocks are roasted and cooled to the set temperature, the carbon block transport vehicle 4 travels to the furnace chamber material box; the suction device of the multifunctional unit 7 first sucks the covering material into the material bin; the clamping device of the multifunctional unit 7 runs to the material box position, clamps the carbon blocks and lifts them to a safe height; the clamped carbon blocks are moved to the cooling and disassembly mechanism 8.

[0062] Step 6: The clamping device of the multifunctional unit 7 picks up the carbon blocks one by one, moves them to the top of the cooling and disassembling mechanism 8, and accurately places them into the carbon block frame 81 on the conveyor chain 83; the drive device 82 of the conveyor chain 83 starts, driving the conveyor chain 83 to operate, pushing the carbon block frame 81 to move slowly along the track 5, so that the carbon blocks gradually cool during movement. The roller group 86 reduces friction to ensure the smooth operation of the carbon block frame 81; during the cooling process, coke particles that may fall off the surface of the carbon block fall through the gap between the rollers into the coke particle collection device 87 below. The collection device collects the coke particles and transports them to the raw material location for reuse. When the carbon blocks reach the set temperature, the system sends a signal, the block pushing cylinder 84 starts, and the piston rod extends, pushing the carbon blocks out of the carbon block frame 81 one by one and sending them to the unloading conveyor belt 10; the coke particles that fall off during the cooling process are collected by the coke particle collection device 87 and transported back to the raw material location for reuse.

[0063] Step 7: After cooling and disassembling, the carbon blocks are transported to the carbon block cleaner 9 through a conveyor belt; the carbon block cleaner 9 cleans the coke particles on the surface, bowl mouth, chamfer, bevel and other parts of the carbon blocks; the coke particles and dust in the cleaning process are collected by a collection device and recycled to the raw material position for reuse.

[0064] Step 8: The cleaned carbon blocks are transported to the storage area via the unloading conveyor belt 10; during the storage process, the carbon blocks continue to cool and are shipped after meeting the shipping conditions.

[0065] In the second step, the charcoal block transport vehicle 4 can be provided with two rows of charcoal block placement positions. After the first row of charcoal blocks is full, the transverse moving trolley 11 drives the transport vehicle to move transversely to the other row of charcoal block receiving positions to continue loading charcoal blocks. After both rows of charcoal blocks are full, the charcoal block transport vehicle 4 clamps the charcoal blocks to prevent tilting and shaking.

[0066] The carbon block cleaning machine 9, the multifunctional unit 7 and the marshaling and transporting mechanism 3 used in the present invention are all existing conventional mechanical structures.

[0067] It can be understood that the above specific description of the present invention is only used to illustrate the present invention and is not limited to the technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention can still be modified or replaced by equivalents to achieve the same technical effects; as long as the use requirements are met, they are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
