Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of carbon block production control, in particular to an anode carbon block forming and stamping control system. Background Art
[0002] Anode carbon block refers to a carbon block produced with petroleum coke and asphalt coke as aggregate and coal tar as binder. It is used as anode material for pre-baked aluminum electrolytic cells. This carbon block has been baked and has a stable geometric shape, so it is also called pre-baked anode carbon block, and is also customarily called carbon anode for aluminum electrolysis. Carbon block stamping is the core process link in the production of anodes for electrolytic aluminum, which directly affects the conductivity, mechanical strength and thermal shock resistance of the anode carbon block.
[0003] The stamping control systems currently used in the industry have the following key flaws: 1. Large quality fluctuations: The qualified rate of carbon block porosity is only low and the crack rate exceeds the standard. The main reason is that the process parameters are statically set and cannot adapt to the fluctuations of raw materials and changes in ambient temperature and humidity.
[0004] 2. High dependence on manual labor: The mainstream solution relies on engineers' experience to adjust parameters, resulting in a long debugging cycle and increased losses due to production line downtime.
