Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of production equipment technology, and in particular to a sponge titanium particle mixing and spreading equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The mixing of titanium sponge granules is typically accomplished using a specific mixing device. Currently, mixing equipment is often combined with self-weighing devices and fixed in a specific location. After screening by the equipment combination, the titanium sponge granules are conveyed to a mixing tank for mixing via a specific device. After mixing, the granules are transported to the mold cavity located inside the press via a conveyor belt or guide pipe. During the conveying process of the titanium sponge granules, the uniformity of mixing and particle distribution is significantly affected.

[0003] Furthermore, based on production practice, the optimal mixing quality in the titanium electrode block production process is achieved when the batch weight is between 115-200 kg. For large-volume titanium electrode blocks, the amount mixed and distributed in a single batch is insufficient, necessitating multiple mixing and distribution processes for the sponge titanium particles. To maintain production cycle time, the mixing time may be further compressed, severely impacting the mixing quality and resulting in uneven mixing of the sponge titanium particles, poor distribution of raw materials with different particle sizes, and consequently affecting the quality of the finished titanium electrode blocks. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a sponge titanium particle mixing and spreading device.

[0005] The present invention provides a sponge titanium particle mixing and spreading device with the following technical solution: A sponge titanium particle mixing and spreading device includes a vertically fixed main column, a cantilever that rotates around the main column, the cantilever being driven to rotate by a drive mechanism, tank supports being installed at both ends of the cantilever, a mixing tank being rotatably installed inside the tank supports, and the mixing tank being driven to rotate by a tank drive motor.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solutions, the design and operation of the sponge titanium particle mixing and spreading equipment can effectively improve the one-time mixing quality of sponge titanium particles and increase the mixing time, thereby improving the uniformity of sponge titanium particle mixing. At the same time, it can meet the requirement of short-time filling of large-mass electrode blocks and minimize the waiting time, so as to solve the problem of sponge titanium particle stratification, which leads to a decrease in mixing quality and thus a decrease in the quality of finished sponge titanium electrode blocks.

[0007] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a main motor mounted on the cantilever, a drive gear mounted on the output end of the main motor, and a driven gear fixedly mounted on the main column, with the drive gear meshing with the driven gear.

[0008] Preferably, a slip ring is installed on the top of the main column, and a brush for cooperating with the slip ring is installed on the cantilever to adapt to the main motor.

[0009] Preferably, a tank cover is hinged to the bottom of the mixing tank, and an electric cylinder for opening the cover is hinged between the tank cover and the outer wall of the mixing tank.

[0010] Preferably, an electric cylinder power supply slip ring is installed at the connection between the tank support and the mixing tank.

[0011] Preferably, the cantilever is rotatably mounted on the main column via two bearings arranged vertically.

[0012] Preferably, a bracket for stabilizing and supporting the cantilever is fixed on the main column. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The following combination Figures 1-3 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0018] This invention discloses a sponge titanium particle mixing and spreading equipment, which includes a vertically fixed main column 1, a bracket 11 fixedly installed on the main column 1, and a cantilever 2 rotatably installed on the main column 1 through two bearings 21 arranged vertically. The bracket 11 provides stable support for the cantilever 2 as a whole. A drive mechanism 3 for driving the cantilever 2 to rotate around the main column 1 is also provided between the main column 1 and the cantilever 2. The drive mechanism 3 includes a main motor 31 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the middle part of the cantilever 2. The output shaft of the main motor 31 is arranged downward, and a drive gear 32 is installed on the output shaft of the main motor 31.

[0019] A driven gear 33 for meshing with the driving gear 32 is fixedly installed on the main column 1. A slip ring 311 is installed on the top of the main column 1. A humanoid brush is installed on the cantilever 2 in conjunction with the main motor 31 to supply power to the main motor 31. When the main motor 31 is working, it drives the driving gear 32 to rotate. Since the driving gear 32 meshes with the driven gear 33, the driving gear 32, the main motor 31, and the cantilever 2 will rotate together along the main column 1.

[0020] Cantilever 2 has tank brackets 4 fixedly installed at both ends. Mixing tank 5 is rotatably installed inside tank bracket 4. Tank cover plate 51 is hinged to the bottom of mixing tank 5. Opening cylinder 6 is hinged between the outer wall of mixing tank 5 and tank cover plate 51. Opening cylinder 6 is powered by cylinder power supply slip ring 61 installed at the connection between tank bracket 4 and mixing tank 5. Tank drive motor 7 is also fixedly installed on tank bracket 4. The output shaft of tank drive motor 7 is connected to mixing tank 5. Tank drive motor 7 is used to drive mixing tank 5 to rotate vertically.

[0021] Both the tank drive motor 7 and the main motor 31 are powered by the slip ring 311. The lid opening cylinder 6 is powered by the slip ring 61. The lid opening cylinder 6 controls the opening and closing of the lid 51 of the mixing tank 5. The mixing tank 5 itself needs to rotate continuously so that the sponge titanium is more uniform. Therefore, the lid opening cylinder 6 is powered by the slip ring 61.

[0022] The implementation principle of the sponge titanium particle mixing and spreading equipment of this invention is as follows: [The following text appears to be a separate, unrelated section:] Let... Figure 1 Point A in the diagram is the feeding position of the sponge titanium particle mixing and spreading equipment, and point B is the unloading position of the sponge titanium particle mixing and spreading equipment. The sponge titanium particle mixing and spreading equipment drives the drive gear 32 through the main motor 31, which, together with the fixed driven gear 33, allows the cantilever 2 to rotate around the main column 1.

[0023] The mixing tank 5 rotates to position A to begin loading. Then, driven by the main motor 31, it rotates again, swapping the positions of the two mixing tanks 5, and subsequently loading the second mixing tank 5. Throughout the entire production cycle, except for the loading time at point A and the unloading time at point B, the mixing tank 5 on the sponge titanium particle mixing and distribution equipment can continuously perform sponge titanium particle mixing under the action of the tank drive motor 7.

[0024] Based on production practice, the typical time for dispensing and feeding sponge titanium granules is 90-120 seconds (from dispensing to feeding into the mixing tank), with a 30-second interval between two mixing processes. The main motor 31 of the sponge titanium granule mixing and feeding equipment completes one revolution in 6 seconds, the opening and closing time of the cover-opening electric cylinder 6 is 5 seconds, and the time for the sponge titanium granules to feed into the pressing mold is 30 seconds. According to production practice (calculated based on a theoretical 7-minute timeframe for the entire sponge titanium electrode block pressing process), the minimum mixing time for the two mixing tanks 5 is 260 seconds, significantly higher than the existing production line's practical mixing time of less than 180 seconds.

[0025] The design and operation of the sponge titanium particle mixing and spreading equipment can effectively improve the one-time mixing quality of sponge titanium particles and increase the mixing time, thereby improving the uniformity of sponge titanium particle mixing. At the same time, it can meet the requirements of short-time filling of large-mass electrode blocks and minimize the waiting time, so as to solve the problem of sponge titanium particle stratification, which leads to a decrease in mixing quality and thus a decrease in the quality of finished sponge titanium electrode blocks.

[0026] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
