Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of conveying devices, and specifically discloses a conveying device with visual detection for online filling of prebaked anodes. BACKGROUND

[0002] The prebaked anode is a key consumable material in aluminum electrolysis production, which provides an electrically conductive basis for the aluminum smelting process through continuous electrolysis in the electrolytic cell. In the aluminum smelting workshop, the prebaked anode block needs to be conveyed from the storage area to the electrolytic cell through a complex logistics system and filled online by a gantry crane and other hoisting equipment. The automation, efficiency and reliability of this conveying and filling process are directly related to the stability and economy of the entire aluminum electrolysis production;

[0003] In the prior art, the conveying of the prebaked anode block is mostly carried out by using chain conveyors, roller conveyors and other linear or segmented conveying equipment. However, due to the limitations of the electrolytic workshop layout and the special requirements of the gantry crane taking and placing operation, the anode block often needs to be converted from a horizontal storage and transportation state to a vertical state for easy clamping and hoisting by the gantry crane. For this reason, some conveying systems are provided with a turnover mechanism at the end to realize the posture conversion of the anode block from lying to standing. Among them, the transportation roller with an L-shaped path and the integrated clamping turnover mechanism at the corner are a relatively efficient solution, but there are significant defects in the prior art:

[0004] The prebaked anode block is large in volume and heavy in weight, and after being transferred by multiple conveying links, it is easy to produce different degrees of axis deflection on the roller. When the anode block with deflection enters the turnover station of the L-shaped corner, its actual position deviates from the ideal clamping position. This deviation will cause the turnover mechanism to not clamp tightly, which may cause the anode block to shake and slip during the turnover process, causing equipment impact and positioning failure; or may cause the anode block to fall, causing serious production safety accidents. In addition, the clamping of the gantry crane is precise, and the lifting tool usually needs to be aligned with the preformed hole above the anode. If there is deviation after turnover, it will cause the preformed hole and the lifting tool to fail to align, forcing the production line to stop for manual intervention, which seriously restricts the efficiency and continuity of automatic filling.

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a conveying device with visual detection for online filling of prebaked anodes to solve the above-mentioned defects. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] The first roller conveying mechanism 1, the second roller conveying mechanism 2 and the third roller conveying mechanism 16 all adopt structures such as a rotating roller assembly, a driving device motor, a chain and a chain gear.

[0030] The first push block mechanism comprises a first supporting base 3 fixedly installed on one side of the first roller conveying mechanism 1 and close to the second roller conveying mechanism 2, a first hydraulic cylinder 4 arranged above the first supporting base 3, and a first push plate 5 fixedly installed at an output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 4.

[0031] In the embodiment, when the anode block reaches the end of the first roller conveying mechanism 1, the first hydraulic cylinder 4 of the first push block mechanism is started, the first push plate 5 at the output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 4 is driven to move towards the anode block, the first push plate 5 gently abuts against the side wall of the anode block, and the anode block is accurately pushed into the initial conveying area of the second roller conveying mechanism 2.

[0032] The first supporting base 3 is used for stably installing the first hydraulic cylinder 4 on one side of the first roller conveying mechanism 1.

[0033] The scanning mechanism comprises two groups of frame seats 6 symmetrically installed on both sides of the second roller conveying mechanism 2, a horizontal rod 8 commonly installed between the two groups of frame seats 6, and an industrial visual infrared scanning device 7 fixedly installed in the horizontal rod 8.

[0034] In this embodiment, the real-time position and attitude image of the anode block is obtained non-contact by the industrial vision infrared scanning device 7, and is connected with the external control system, so as to control the use of each part. When the anode block reaches the end of the first roller conveying mechanism 1, the first hydraulic cylinder 4 drives the first push plate 5 to push it horizontally into the second roller conveying mechanism 2. Then, the anode block passes under the industrial vision infrared scanning device 7 on the second roller conveying mechanism 2, and its position and deflection angle are accurately captured.

[0036] The block clamping and rotating mechanism includes a sleeve seat 19 fixedly installed above the side of the turnover hydraulic roller conveying mechanism 2 away from the second roller conveying mechanism 2. Fourth hydraulic cylinders 18 are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner surface of the sleeve seat 19. A clamping plate 9 is jointly installed at the extension end of the two groups of fourth hydraulic cylinders 18. The clamping plate 9 is L-shaped.

A motor 30 is fixedly installed at one end of the screw rod 38. The motor 30 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the top shell 35.

[0037] In this embodiment, the motor 30 drives the screw rod 38 to move the two limiting blocks 36 with plug-in seats 37 synchronously towards or away from each other, so as to insert or separate from the prefabricated hole on the top of the anode block. The effect is to realize accurate positioning of the anode block in the horizontal plane, eliminate the possible twisting or slipping during turnover, and ensure accurate positioning of the subsequent gantry crane grabbing;

[0038] When the anode block moves above the turnover hydraulic roller conveying mechanism 12, the fourth hydraulic cylinder 18 extends to drive the L-shaped clamping plate 9 to clamp it. At the same time, the motor 30 is started to drive the screw rod 38 to rotate, so that the two plug-in seats 37 move inward, and the positioning pins thereon are inserted into the prefabricated hole on the top of the anode block, completing accurate positioning. Then, the whole turnover hydraulic roller conveying mechanism 12 turns 90 degrees with the clamped and locked anode block, so as to meet the later gantry crane transportation.

[0040] In the embodiment, the third hydraulic cylinder 17 is started, the telescopic end of the third hydraulic cylinder 17 is extended, the slide table 26 is pushed to slide along the two slide rails 29 on the upper surface of the rack 23, the slide blocks 28 at the bottom of the slide table 26 are matched with the slide rails 29, so that the slide table 26 can be ensured to be stable and non-jammed during sliding, the frame 21 in the slide table 26 moves synchronously in the horizontal direction with the slide table 26; the three groups of guide rollers 10 on the plug rods 24 in the frame 21 are in contact with the side wall of the anode block, the guide rollers 10 are in rolling contact to avoid scratching the surface of the anode block, and the anode block is driven to move along the roller surface of the second roller conveying mechanism 2 through the horizontal thrust force, until the horizontal position of the anode block is coarsely adjusted;

[0041] When the angle of the anode block is fine-tuned, the fifth hydraulic cylinder 32 extends and retracts, pushing the connecting rod 33 and the toothed rod 27 to slide along the inside of the sliding table 26, the toothed rod 27 engages with the gear 34 on the lower part of the outside of the rotating shaft 20, the sliding of the toothed rod 27 drives the rotation of the gear 34, and the gear 34 drives the rotating shaft 20 to rotate inside the sliding table 26; the U-shaped shell 31 on the outside of the rotating shaft 20 synchronously drives the frame 21 to rotate, the reinforcing rods 22 on both sides of the rear end of the frame 21 mainly enhance the connection rigidity of the U-shaped shell 31 and the frame 21, avoiding the deformation of the frame 21 during rotation; the frame 21 drives the guide roller 10 to rotate synchronously, the guide roller 10 drives the anode block to rotate around its center through friction, until the axis of the anode block coincides with the axis of the second roller conveying mechanism 2, the fifth hydraulic cylinder 32 stops working, and the angle deviation correction is completed; at this time, the anode block continues to move to the side of the turnover hydraulic roller conveying mechanism 12 along the second roller conveying mechanism 2;

[0042] When the corrected anode block reaches above the turnover hydraulic roller conveying mechanism 12, the fourth hydraulic cylinder 18 at the block clamping and positioning mechanism extends and retracts synchronously, pushing the two groups of L-shaped clamping plates 9 to move upwards first, at the same time, the motor 30 drives the screw rod 38 on the output end to rotate inside the top shell 35; the limiting blocks 36 on both sides of the outside of the screw rod 38 move synchronously towards each other or away from each other due to the reverse setting of the threads (left-handed threads on the left side and right-handed threads on the right side); the insertion hole seats 37 on the lower surfaces of the limiting blocks 36 move synchronously, until the two groups of insertion hole seats 37 are accurately aligned with the prefabricated holes on the upper surface of the anode block, the accurate alignment of the prefabricated holes of the anode block is completed, and then the fourth hydraulic cylinder 18 is retracted and pressed to move the clamping plates 9 downwards, so that the insertion hole seats 37 are pressed inside the prefabricated holes of the anode block, and the vertical section of the clamping plate 9 is attached to the outer wall of the side of the anode block, firmly fixing the anode block on the turnover hydraulic roller conveying mechanism 12;

[0043] The turnover hydraulic roller conveying mechanism 12 is composed of built-in hydraulic motors and transmission gears, etc., driving the anode block to rotate synchronously around the horizontal shaft, during the rotation process, the anode block is rotated from a horizontal state to a vertical state, after the posture conversion of the anode block is completed, at this time, the second hydraulic cylinder 15 is driven to start, the extension end pushes the second push plate 39 on the output end to move towards the anode block; the second push plate 39 gently abuts against the side wall of the anode block, pushing the anode block in vertical state from the roller surface of the turnover hydraulic roller conveying mechanism 12 to the third roller conveying mechanism 16, and then slowly conveying the anode block to the gantry crane grabbing station through the third roller conveying mechanism 16;

[0044] It should be noted that the turnover hydraulic roller conveying mechanism 12 is hinged to the inside of the frame rod 11 above through the rotating shafts at both ends, and is driven by a group of hydraulic motors to rotate the whole around the horizontal hinge shaft, so as to realize the 90-degree turnover of the anode block.

[0045] Working principle: start the first roller conveying mechanism 1, and transport the anode block from the storage area to the work station near the second roller conveying mechanism 2; when the anode block reaches the end of the first roller conveying mechanism 1, start the first hydraulic cylinder 4 above the first support seat 3, push the first push plate 5 at the output end to move towards the anode block, and gently abut the first push plate 5 against the side wall of the anode block, so as to accurately push the anode block into the initial conveying area of the second roller conveying mechanism 2; in this process, the anode block is preliminarily ensured to be conveyed along the axis direction of the second roller conveying mechanism 2, thereby laying a foundation for subsequent visual inspection; when the anode block moves to the lower side of the scanning mechanism along the second roller conveying mechanism 2, start the industrial visual infrared scanning device 7 at the cross bar 8 to scan the profile of the anode block conveyed below, collect the axis deflection angle, lateral offset distance and surface pre-bore position information of the anode block in real time, and transmit the detection data to the external control system;

[0046] If the industrial visual infrared scanning device 7 detects that the anode block has a deflection, the external control system will start the block adjusting conveying mechanism to act, specifically by starting the third hydraulic cylinder 17 inside the sliding table 26, the telescopic end pushes the sliding table 26 to slide along the two groups of sliding rails 29 on the upper surface of the rack table 23, and the frame body 21 inside the sliding table 26 moves synchronously laterally; the three groups of guide rollers 10 on the plug rod 24 inside the frame body 21 contact the side wall of the anode block, the guide rollers 10 rollingly contact to avoid scratching the surface of the anode block, and at the same time, the anode block is driven to move along the roller surface of the second roller conveying mechanism 2 through the lateral thrust, until the lateral position of the anode block is within the clamping range of the turnover hydraulic roller conveying mechanism 12, after the lateral offset correction is completed, then the angle is fine-tuned, the fifth hydraulic cylinder 32 acts to drive the connecting rod 33 to slide, and then drive the gear rod 27 to move forward and backward, the gear rod 27 is engaged with the gear wheel 34 fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 20, the linear motion of the gear rod 27 is converted into the rotary motion of the gear wheel 34 and the rotating shaft 20, and the rotating shaft 20 drives the entire frame body 21 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 20 by a small angle through the U-shaped shell 31 and the reinforcing rod 22, so that the guide surfaces of the multiple groups of guide rollers 10 in the frame body 21 match the deflection angle of the anode block, at this time, the anode block continues to advance under the drive of the second roller conveying mechanism 2, and the anode block is conveyed while its posture is gradually corrected under the joint action of the friction force and the guide force, until the axis of the anode block is parallel to the conveying direction and is in the preset central position, and the anode block whose posture is corrected is conveyed to the end of the second roller conveying mechanism 2 and is transferred to the turnover hydraulic roller conveying mechanism 12;

[0047] The block clamping and rotating mechanism is started, and two groups of the fourth hydraulic cylinders 18 are synchronously extended to push the L-shaped clamping plate 9 to extend upwards, and then the motor 30 is started to drive the screw rod 38 to rotate. Since the screw threads on the two sides of the screw rod 38 are opposite in rotation direction, and the two limiting blocks 36 are respectively sleeved with the screw threads of the screw rod 38, the two limiting blocks 36 will move towards each other and away from each other, thereby driving the insertion hole seat 37 below to move until the insertion hole seat 37 is accurately inserted into the prefabricated hole at the top of the anode block, so that the anode block can be accurately positioned in the horizontal plane during the turning process, and displacement in the subsequent turning process is prevented.

[0048] After the clamping and hole locking are completed, the turning hydraulic roller conveying mechanism 12 starts to turn as a whole under the hydraulic drive to turn the horizontal anode block into a vertical state. At this time, the fourth hydraulic cylinder 18 drives the clamping plate 9 to move away from the anode block, and the second hydraulic cylinder 15 drives the second push plate 39 to move to horizontally push the vertical anode block out of the turning hydraulic roller conveying mechanism 12 and transfer the anode block to the third roller conveying mechanism 16 with a lower height. The anode block vertically arranged on the third roller conveying mechanism 16 is conveyed to a designated position to wait for the gantry crane to accurately grasp and fill.

[0049] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only the principles of the present application. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, various changes and improvements can be made to the present application, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present application.
