AI Technical Summary
During transportation, storage, and early processing, impurities such as carbon slag and dust can easily adhere to the surface of anode carbon blocks. If these are not cleaned in time, they can lead to reduced paint adhesion and poor coating uniformity in subsequent spraying processes, which in turn can cause problems such as accelerated anodizing speed, increased electrolysis energy consumption, and shortened carbon block lifespan.
A device for cleaning anode carbon blocks is designed, including a cleaning chamber, a coarse slag collection component, a dust suction component, and a blowing component. Through the cooperation of high-pressure nozzles and pushers, a ring-shaped cleaning area is formed, which efficiently removes floating dust and large carbon slag particles from the surface of the carbon blocks. Fine dust is drawn away by the dust suction component to avoid the mixing, accumulation, and diffusion of impurities.
This technology enables efficient cleaning of the surface of anode carbon blocks, ensuring a clean supply of carbon block raw materials for subsequent processes, reducing dust diffusion, improving coating adhesion and uniformity, and extending the service life of the carbon blocks.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of carbon block cleaning, in particular to an anode carbon block cleaning device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the production process of electrolytic aluminum, the surface cleanliness of the anode carbon block directly affects the electrolysis efficiency and product quality. The existing technology usually uses a guide rod to connect the anode carbon block, and then uses a walking trolley and a suspension rail to transfer the anode carbon block. However, the surface of the anode carbon block is easy to attach carbon residues, dust and other impurities during transportation, storage and early processing. If not cleaned in time, it will cause the adhesion of the coating to decrease, the uniformity of the coating to be poor, and the anode oxidation speed to increase, the electrolysis energy consumption to increase, and the service life of the carbon block to be shortened in the subsequent spraying process. Therefore, we propose an anode carbon block cleaning device to solve the above problems. SUMMARY
[0003] The present application aims to provide an anode carbon block cleaning device to solve the problem that the surface of the anode carbon block is easy to attach carbon residues, dust and other impurities during transportation, storage and early processing. If not cleaned in time, it will cause the adhesion of the coating to decrease, the uniformity of the coating to be poor, and the anode oxidation speed to increase, the electrolysis energy consumption to increase, and the service life of the carbon block to be shortened in the subsequent spraying process.
[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical scheme: an anode carbon block cleaning device, comprising a cleaning room, a coarse residue collecting assembly, a dust collecting assembly and a blowing assembly, the cleaning room is provided with a passage, the anode carbon block and the guide rod can enter or leave the cleaning room through the passage, the outer wall of both ends of the cleaning room is provided with a sealing assembly capable of covering the passage, the blowing assembly comprises two groups of blowing members symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the cleaning room, the blowing member comprises a high-pressure nozzle, a pushing member, a connecting rod and a mounting bracket, the mounting bracket is arranged on the inner wall of the cleaning room, the pushing member is rotatably installed on one end of the mounting bracket, one end of the connecting rod is rotatably installed on the upper wall of the cleaning room, the high-pressure nozzle is arranged on the other end of the connecting rod, and the output end of the pushing member is rotatably connected with the connecting rod.
[0005] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: the two groups of symmetrical blowing assemblies form a ring-shaped cleaning area, and the pushing member is arranged to drive the connecting rod, thereby driving the high-pressure nozzle to swing, and the blowing angle can be adjusted flexibly. When the anode carbon block enters the cleaning room, the pushing member drives the connecting rod to swing, and the high-pressure nozzle directly blows the top surface and side surface of the anode carbon block from multiple angles, thereby removing the dust on the surface of the carbon block. At the same time, the large particles of carbon residues generated by the high-pressure nozzle blowing are directly collected by the coarse residue collecting assembly, and the fine dust is sucked away by the dust collecting assembly, avoiding the mixture of coarse residue and dust from re-attaching to the surface of the carbon block, and reducing the diffusion of dust in the cleaning room, thereby providing clean carbon block raw materials for subsequent processes.

[0007] The two inclined concentrating plates are located directly below the two groups of blowing assemblies, forming a funnel-shaped guiding structure, when the coarse and heavy carbon residue generated by the high-pressure nozzle blowing falls under the action of gravity, the inclined angle of the concentrating plate can guide the dispersed coarse residue to converge to the middle of the collecting box through the inclined surface, avoiding the coarse residue from falling into the gap at the bottom of the cleaning room or outside the collecting box due to the dispersion of the blowing airflow, and reducing the frequency of subsequent manual cleaning.
[0008] Preferably, as an improvement, the dust collecting assembly comprises a connecting head, a filter box and an exhaust device, the filter box is arranged at one side of the cleaning room, the connecting head penetrates through the cleaning room and is arranged between the collecting box and the filter box, and the exhaust device is arranged at one end of the filter box.
[0009] The connecting head communicates the collecting box and the filter box, and directly docks the impurity source through the cleaning room, when the coarse residue is intercepted by the collecting box, the mixed fine dust is forcibly sucked into the filter box through the connecting head under the action of negative pressure generated by the exhaust device, which can quickly eliminate the dust diffusion in the cleaning room caused by blowing, avoid the dust from re-attaching to the surface of the cleaned carbon block or spreading to the workshop, and ensure the stability of the carbon block cleanliness.

[0011] When the guide rod clamps the anode carbon block close to the passage of the cleaning room, the infrared sensor can identify the guide rod within a preset distance, thereby transmitting a signal to drive the driving unit to start and stop, and the driving unit drives the door to slide along the guide rail through the connecting unit, ensuring that the transfer of the carbon block is not hindered, avoiding the production line from stopping, and when the doors of the two groups of sealing units slide along the guide rail to close, they can cover both ends of the passage, effectively blocking the dust and carbon residue generated by high-pressure blowing from overflowing, and making it easier for the impurities to be captured by the coarse residue collecting assembly and the dust collecting assembly.
[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, the enclosure component also includes two sets of support members, each set of support members including a guide groove and several rollers. The guide groove is located on the outer wall of the cleaning room, and the several rollers are evenly located at the lower end of the door, and the rollers can slide in the guide groove.
