Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of conveyor line cleaning, and particularly proposes a cleaning mechanism for a prebaked anode conveyor line. Background Art

[0002] Prebaked anode is a key material in aluminum electrolysis production. It is used for conductivity and participation in electrochemical reactions. It is made of raw materials such as petroleum coke and coal tar, and is processed through molding, baking and other processes. It has high strength, high conductivity and good thermal shock resistance.

[0003] The prebaked anode conveyor line is a key logistics system in aluminum electrolysis production. It plays a core role in efficiently connecting production processes, ensuring anode quality, and improving the level of automation. During the operation of the prebaked anode conveyor line, regular cleaning of the conveyor rollers is a necessary maintenance measure, which directly affects production efficiency, equipment life and product quality.

[0004] The prebaked anode conveyor line conveys the prebaked anodes via conveyor rollers. When cleaning the prebaked anodes during the conveying process, the prebaked anodes need to be lifted up and separated from the conveyor rollers, and then cleaned. Cleaning the dirt that falls off the prebaked anodes and the dirt that adheres to the roller surface when the conveyor rollers convey the prebaked anodes will reduce friction, causing the prebaked anodes to slip and deviate during transportation, which may cause jamming, collision, and even damage the edges of the prebaked anodes. In addition, hard particles on the side walls of the conveyor rollers (such as residual anode debris) will accelerate the wear of the roller surface and even scratch the bottom of the anode, requiring frequent replacement of the conveyor rollers, increasing maintenance costs.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cleaning mechanism for the prebaked anode conveyor line to automatically clean the conveyor line at regular intervals. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 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 making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] See Figure 1 , a cleaning mechanism for a prebaked anode conveyor line, the conveyor line includes two frames 1, and conveying rollers 2 evenly arranged along the length direction of the two frames 1 are rotatably connected between them. A driving part for driving the conveying rollers 2 is provided on one of the frames 1, and the driving part includes a motor installed on one of the frames 1 and a sprocket chain that is transmission-connected between a plurality of conveying rollers 2. The motor is connected to one of the conveying rollers 2. When the motor drives the conveying roller 2 connected to it to rotate, the conveying roller 2 drives the remaining conveying rollers 2 to rotate synchronously through the sprocket chain, thereby driving the conveying rollers 2 to convey the prebaked anodes 6 (the specific structure of the driving part is not shown in the figure, all of which are existing structures). A cleaning mechanism is provided on the two frames 1, and the cleaning mechanism includes a scraping and cleaning part 3, a material guiding part 4 and a pushing and supporting part 5 installed between the two frames 1.

[0038] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The scraping and cleaning part 3 includes two movable frames 30 provided on the opposite surfaces of the frames 1. The conveying roller 2 is provided with a cleaning and scraping assembly 31 which adaptively contacts the side wall thereof and cleans the dirt adhered to the side wall thereof. A driving assembly 32 for driving the movable frame 30 is installed on the frame 1. The guide part 4 includes a guide plate 40 installed between the two frames 1 and located below the conveying roller 2. The guide plate 40 is in an inverted V shape to facilitate the discharge of dirt dropped thereon when the conveying roller 2 is cleaned. A scraping assembly 41 for cleaning the top of the guide plate 40 is provided. When the cleaning and scraping assembly 31 is reset after cleaning the surface of the conveying roller 2, the scraping assembly 41 is driven by the traction member 42 provided thereon to scrape off the dirt remaining on the guide plate 40, thereby preventing the dirt removed from the conveying roller 2 from accumulating on the guide plate 40 and affecting the discharge of dirt.

[0039] See Figure 1 and Figure 6The pushing and supporting part 5 includes a hydraulic cylinder 50 fixedly installed between the two frames 1 through a base. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 50 slides through the guide plate 40 and is then installed with a supporting seat 51. An auxiliary supporting assembly 52 is provided between the bottom of the supporting seat 51 and the two frames 1. When the supporting seat 51 lifts the prebaked anode 6, the driving assembly 32 locks the auxiliary supporting assembly 52 through the locking assembly 53 provided thereon. The position of the pushing and supporting part 5 is a cleaning station.

[0040] During operation, the prebaked anode 6 is placed on the conveyor line, and the driving part drives the conveyor roller 2 to rotate to convey the prebaked anode 6. When the prebaked anode 6 moves to the cleaning station, the pushing and supporting part 5 lifts up the prebaked anode 6 so that the bottom of the prebaked anode 6 is separated from the conveyor roller 2. The dust, residual asphalt or oxide layer attached to the prebaked anode 6 is cleaned by the existing cleaning device. At this time, the dust, residual asphalt or oxide layer cleaned from the prebaked anode 6 falls directly onto the conveyor roller 2 and the guide plate 40, and then the pushing and supporting part 5 moves downward to place the prebaked anode 6 on the conveyor roller 2. The conveyor roller 2 continues to convey the prebaked anode 6, and the dust, residual asphalt or oxide layer at the bottom of the prebaked anode 6 is easy to adhere to the surface of the conveyor roller 2.

[0041] When the conveyor roller 2 rotates, the cleaning scraping assembly 31 does not contact the surface of the conveyor roller 2, avoiding wear on the surface of the conveyor roller 2. When the conveyor roller 2 needs to be cleaned, the conveyor line stops conveying, and the driving assembly 32 drives the cleaning scraping assembly 31 to move. The cleaning scraping assembly 31 adaptively fits the surface of the conveyor roller 2. Under the driving action of the driving assembly 32, the cleaning scraping assembly 31 moves axially along the conveyor roller 2 to clean the side wall of the conveyor roller 2. The cleaned dirt falls directly on the guide plate 40, preventing the dirt on the surface of the conveyor roller 2 from reducing friction, causing the prebaked anode 6 to slip or deviate during transportation, and the hard particles on the surface of the conveyor roller 2 accelerate the wear of the surface of the conveyor roller 2, increasing maintenance costs, and also improving the convenience and efficiency of cleaning the conveyor roller 2 of the conveyor line.

[0042] When the cleaning scraping assembly 31 is reset, the scraping assembly 41 is also driven to scrape off the dirt remaining on the guide plate 40 to prevent the dirt from accumulating on the guide plate 40 and being difficult to be discharged smoothly.

[0043] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5The cleaning and scraping assembly 31 includes two push rings 310 that are sleeved on the conveying roller 2 and arranged symmetrically along its axial direction. The push ring 310 is fixedly mounted on the corresponding movable frame 30. A supporting cover 311 is fixedly mounted on the side of the push ring 310 facing away from the frame 1. The supporting cover 311 and the push ring 310 are adaptively slidably connected with a cleaning piece 312 that is symmetrically arranged and slides radially along the push ring 310. The supporting cover 311 is in an inverted U shape, so that when the push ring 310 moves toward the corresponding frame 1, the dirt cleaned by the cleaning piece 312 falls downward. A pushing and disengaging piece 313 is installed on the frame 1. The pushing and disengaging piece 313 is used to drive the cleaning piece 312 to disengage from the surface of the conveying roller 2 when the push ring 310 moves toward the corresponding frame 1.

[0044] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 The cleaning member 312 includes an arc-shaped plate 340 that is slidably connected to the supporting cover 311. The end of the arc-shaped plate 340 away from the push ring 310 is conical and is equipped with a scraper head 341. A discharge port is provided at the lower end of the arc-shaped plate 340 to facilitate the dirt scraped by the scraper head 341 to fall downward. The end of the push ring 310 is provided with evenly arranged sliding grooves, and the supporting cover 311 is provided with a plug-in groove that is slidably plugged into the arc-shaped plate 340. Reset springs 342 are installed between the arc-shaped plate 340 and the sliding groove and plug-in groove.

[0045] When the cleaning member 312 is not working, the pushing and disengaging member 313 pushes the cleaning member 312 out of contact with the side wall of the conveying roller 2, thereby preventing the conveying roller 2 from causing wear to the scraper head 341 and the conveying roller 2 when conveying the prebaked anode 6.

[0046] When the cleaning piece 312 cleans the conveyor roller 2, the driving assembly 32 drives the movable frame 30 to drive the pushing rings 310 on both sides of the conveyor roller 2 to move toward the middle of the axis of the conveyor roller 2. When the pushing ring 310 moves, the pushing disengagement piece 313 is disengaged from the cleaning piece 312, and the arc plate 340 drives the scraper head 341 to move toward the side wall of the conveyor roller 2 under the elastic force of the return spring 342 until the scraper head 341 conflicts with the side wall of the conveyor roller 2. At this time, the scraper head 341 conflicts with the side wall of the conveyor roller 2, thereby cleaning the side wall of the conveyor roller 2. The pushing ring 310 drives the arc plate 340 and the scraper head 341 to move along the axial direction of the conveyor roller 2, scraping off and cleaning the dirt on the side wall of the conveyor roller 2, until the scraper heads 341 on both sides of the same conveyor roller 2 conflict, thereby achieving comprehensive cleaning of the surface of the conveyor roller 2.

[0047] See Figure 5The arc-shaped plate 340 is equipped with evenly arranged support rods, and the end of the support rod away from the arc-shaped plate 340 is equipped with a ball. When the scraper head 341 contacts the side wall of the conveyor roller 2, the ball on the support rod also contacts the side wall of the conveyor roller 2, thereby improving the stability of the contact between the arc-shaped plate 340 and the conveyor roller 2.

[0048] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 The pushing and disengaging member 313 includes a plurality of sockets 330 opened on the side wall of the push ring 310 and evenly arranged along the arc trajectory of the support cover 311. A bracket 331 corresponding to the push ring 310 is installed on the frame 1, and a push rod corresponding to the socket 330 is installed on the bracket 331. A wedge block 332 is installed on the push rod, and a push rod 333 corresponding to the wedge block 332 is installed on the arc plate 340. The push rod 333 cooperates with the wedge block 332 to drive the arc plate 340 away from the side wall of the conveyor roller 2.

[0049] During the process of the movable frame 30 returning to the corresponding frame 1, when the push ring 310 approaches the push disengagement member 313, the push rod drives the wedge block 332 to be inserted into the corresponding socket 330. When the push rod 333 contacts the inclined surface of the wedge block 332, the push rod 333 drives the arc plate 340 to move along the inclined surface of the wedge block 332, so that the arc plate 340 drives the scraper head 341 away from the conveying roller 2.

[0050] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The driving assembly 32 includes a guide rail 320 installed between the two frames 1 and arranged symmetrically along the length direction thereof. Racks 321 are installed at both ends of the mobile frame 30. The racks 321 on the two mobile frames 30 are arranged alternately up and down. A gear 322 is rotatably connected to the guide rail 320 and meshes with the racks 321 on the two mobile frames 30. Evenly arranged guide rods 323 are installed between the two frames 1, and the two mobile frames 30 are slidably sleeved on multiple guide rods 323.

[0051] A cylinder (not shown in the figure) is installed on one of the frames 1 to drive the mobile frame 30 connected to it to move. The cylinder pushes the mobile frame 30 connected to it to move. The mobile frame 30 drives the other mobile frame 30 to move through the meshing transmission of the rack 321 and the gear 322 connected to it, so that the two mobile frames 30 move synchronously toward the middle of the conveyor roller 2 or the two ends of the conveyor roller 2.

[0052] See Figure 6 and Figure 8The top support seat 51 is in the shape of a rectangular block with multiple U-shaped grooves evenly arranged along its length. The U-shaped grooves correspond one-to-one to multiple conveying rollers 2. A discharge groove is provided at the bottom of the U-shaped groove to prevent dirt cleaned from the conveying rollers 2 from accumulating in the U-shaped groove.

[0053] See Figure 1 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 The auxiliary supporting assembly 52 includes a plurality of support plates 520 fixedly installed between the frame 1 and the inclined surface of the guide plate 40. A plurality of inclined plates 521 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the top supporting seat 51 along its width direction. The plurality of inclined plates 521 are evenly arranged along the length direction of the top supporting seat 51. A slider 522 is installed at the end of the inclined plate 521, and a slide groove 523 is provided on the support plate 520 to be slidably connected to the slider 522.

[0054] When the prebaked anode 6 is transported to the cleaning station, the hydraulic cylinder 50 pushes the supporting seat 51 to move upward to push and lift the prebaked anode 6, so that the prebaked anode 6 is separated from the conveying roller 2 for surface cleaning. In the process of the supporting seat 51 moving upward, the inclined plate 521 and the slider 522 are driven upward, and the slider 522 moves upward along the slide groove 523. When the hydraulic cylinder 50 stops driving, the driving component 32 drives the locking component 53 to lock the slider 522, so that the inclined plate 521 and the support plate 520 support the bottom of the supporting seat 51, thereby improving the stability of the supporting seat 51 when lifting the prebaked anode 6 for cleaning.

[0055] See Figure 1 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 The locking assembly 53 includes a spring groove 530 opened on the support plate 520 and connected to the slide groove 523. A moving seat is slidably connected in the spring groove 530. A return spring 531 is fixedly installed between the moving seat and the spring groove 530. A collar 533 and two L-shaped locking rods 532 arranged symmetrically along the width direction of the moving seat are fixedly installed on the moving seat. The collar 533 is located above the L-shaped locking rod 532 and a push plate 534 is installed on the moving seat to slide through the frame 1. When the moving frame 30 moves, the push plate 534 is pushed to drive the moving seat to move. A slot 535 is opened near the top of the side where the slider 522 is connected to the inclined plate 521 for limiting the collar 533 set on the slider 522. A locking groove 536 that cooperates with the L-shaped locking rod 532 is opened near the bottom of the side where the slider 522 is connected to the inclined plate 521.

[0056] When the supporting seat 51 moves upward, the collar 533 is sleeved on the slider 522 from the top of the slider 522, and the slider 522 enters between the two L-shaped locking rods 532. When rising, the driving assembly 32 drives the movable frame 30 and the pushing ring 310 to move toward the corresponding frame 1. The pushing ring 310 pushes the push plate 534 to drive the movable seat to stretch the return spring 531, and the movable seat drives the collar 533 to be stuck in the slot 535. At the same time, the L-shaped locking rod 532 is stuck in the locking slot 536, thereby locking the position of the slider 522, thereby increasing the supporting force of the supporting seat 51 when lifting the prebaked anode 6.

[0057] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 The scraper assembly 41 includes a support rail 410 fixedly installed between the two frames 1 and symmetrically arranged along the length direction thereof. A cleaning piece 411 symmetrically arranged along the length direction thereof is slidably connected between the two support rails 410. The two cleaning pieces 411 are respectively located at the top of the two inclined surfaces of the guide plate 40. The cleaning pieces 411 adaptively extend and retract and press against the top of the guide plate 40.

[0058] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 9 The cleaning member 411 includes two elastic telescopic plates 430 fixedly installed on the opposite surfaces of the support rails 410, and the lower ends of the two elastic telescopic plates 430 are jointly fixedly installed with a scraping end 431. The support rail 410 is provided with a guide groove 432 that is slidably connected to the elastic telescopic plate 430, and a return spring 433 is fixedly installed between the guide groove 432 and the elastic telescopic plate 430.

[0059] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6The traction member 42 includes a plurality of guide rods 420 fixedly installed between the opposite surfaces of the two frames 1. Both ends of the guide rods 420 are arc-shaped, and a locking groove 421 is provided on the top of the elastic telescopic plate 430. The bottom of the push ring 310 corresponding to the locking groove 421 is slidably connected with a moving bar 422, and the end of the moving bar 422 is hinged with a swing block 423 through a torsion spring. A limit block for limiting the swing block 423 from swinging in the direction away from the corresponding frame 1 is also fixedly installed on the moving bar 422. A return spring 424 is installed between the moving bar 422 and the push ring 310. A resistance rod 425 cooperating with the guide rod 420 is installed at one end of the moving bar 422 away from the swing block 423, and a buffer is provided between the elastic telescopic plate 430 and the guide rod 420.

[0060] When the push ring 310 moves toward the middle of the axis of the conveying roller 2, the push ring 310 drives the moving bar 422, the swing block 423 and the contact rod 425 to move, and the contact rod 425 moves along the side wall of the guide rod 420. When the swing block 423 moves to the corresponding locking groove 421 position, the swing block 423 contacts the elastic telescopic plate 430 and flips over. When the push ring 310 moves, the swing block 423 moves to the side of the elastic telescopic plate 430 away from the corresponding frame 1; when the push ring 310 returns to its original position, the swing block 423 pushes the elastic telescopic plate 430 to move away from the corresponding frame 1. The elastic telescopic plate 430 moves toward the corresponding side of the frame 1, and the lower end of the elastic telescopic plate 430 pushes the scraper end 431 to always contact the top of the guide plate 40 through the elastic force, thereby scraping off the dirt on the top of the guide plate 40 and discharging the material. When the contact rod 425 contacts the arc section of the guide rod 420, the swing block 423 and the moving bar 422 drive the swing block 423 to separate from the elastic telescopic plate 430 under the elastic force of the return spring three 424, and the elastic telescopic plate 430 is reset under the elastic force of the return spring two 433.

[0061] See Figure 3 The buffer member includes an elastic arc block fixedly mounted on the side wall of the elastic expansion plate 430. A plurality of arc-shaped holes are formed in the guide rod 420. When the elastic expansion plate 430 returns to its original position under the elastic force of the return spring 2 433, the elastic arc block continuously interferes with the arc-shaped holes during movement, thereby slowing down the return speed of the elastic expansion plate 430 and preventing the elastic expansion plate 430 from colliding with the guide groove 432. It should be noted that the number of arc-shaped holes can be increased or decreased according to actual needs.

[0062] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 9The elastic telescopic plate 430 includes a plurality of sleeves sequentially arranged from top to bottom, and a spring rod is installed between the lowest sleeve and the uppermost sleeve, so that the elastic telescopic plate 430 always pushes the scraper end 431 to press against the top of the guide plate 40.

[0063] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 9 An inclined guide plate is installed on the top of the elastic telescopic plate 430, which is arranged in an inverted V shape along the two inclined guide plates. The inclined guide plate blocks the gap between the two elastic telescopic plates 430 to avoid the problem that the dirt scraped from the conveying roller 2 falls between the two elastic telescopic plates 430 and falls onto the guide plate 40, which is difficult to clean.

[0064] See Figures 1-9 During operation, the prebaked anode 6 is placed on the conveyor line, and the driving part drives the conveyor roller 2 to rotate to convey the prebaked anode 6. When the prebaked anode 6 moves to the cleaning station, the pushing and supporting part 5 lifts up the prebaked anode 6 so that the bottom of the prebaked anode 6 is separated from the conveyor roller 2. The existing cleaning device cleans the dust, residual asphalt or oxide layer attached to the prebaked anode 6. At this time, the dust, residual asphalt or oxide layer cleaned from the prebaked anode 6 falls directly onto the conveyor roller 2 and the guide plate 40, and then the pushing and supporting part 5 moves downward to place the prebaked anode 6 on the conveyor roller 2. The conveyor roller 2 continues to convey the prebaked anode 6, and the dust, residual asphalt or oxide layer at the bottom of the prebaked anode 6 is easy to adhere to the surface of the conveyor roller 2.

[0065] When the conveyor roller 2 rotates, the cleaning and scraping assembly 31 does not contact the surface of the conveyor roller 2, avoiding wear on the surface of the conveyor roller 2. When the conveyor roller 2 needs to be cleaned, the conveyor line stops conveying, and the driving assembly 32 drives the cleaning and scraping assembly 31 to move. The cleaning and scraping assembly 31 adaptively fits the surface of the conveyor roller 2. Under the driving action of the driving assembly 32, the cleaning and scraping assembly 31 moves axially along the conveyor roller 2 to clean the side wall of the conveyor roller 2, and the cleaned dirt falls directly onto the guide plate 40.

[0066] When the cleaning scraping assembly 31 is reset, the scraping assembly 41 is also driven to scrape off the dirt remaining on the guide plate 40 to prevent the dirt from accumulating on the guide plate 40 and being difficult to be discharged smoothly.
