Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrolytic cell equipment, specifically to a device and method for securing the lining of an aluminum electrolytic cell. Background Technology

[0002] Electrolytic cells are the core equipment in aluminum electrolytic production, and the reinforcement of the inner lining of aluminum electrolytic cells is a particularly critical process in the construction of the electrolytic cell furnace. The reinforcement of the inner lining of aluminum electrolytic cells requires multiple layers of paste, and the quality of the paste reinforcement directly determines the production capacity, operational stability, and service life of the electrolytic cell. Currently, most electrolytic cell reinforcement operations employ manual material placement and construction methods. Typically, about 10 professional tamping hammer operators use pneumatic hammers to tamp the vertical joints, edge joints, and artificial extension legs of the carbon blocks, while about 10 people use shovels to feed and place the paste. The traditional method of material placement and leveling involves manually adding paste into the gaps between the cathode carbon blocks (30-35mm wide, ≥450mm deep), and then manually leveling the paste with a scraper smaller than the gap size. This method has disadvantages such as requiring a large number of workers, being time-consuming and labor-intensive, having a poor working environment, and high labor intensity. Furthermore, because the gaps between the cathode carbon blocks are narrow and deep, manual scraping relies solely on experience or intuition, resulting in poor reinforcement quality stability.

[0003] In addition, some devices for tamping electrolytic cells have appeared in the existing technology. However, the existing electrolytic cell tamping devices usually first spread material into the gaps of the cathode carbon block, then use a scraper or tamping hammer to directly scrape the cathode carbon block, and finally use the tamping hammer to tamp it. For example, the patent with authorization announcement number CN101274446B discloses a multi-hammer electrolytic cell tamping machine, which includes a trolley traveling mechanism and a carriage traveling mechanism. The carriage traveling mechanism is equipped with a feeding mechanism and a feeding cylinder. The lower end of the feeding cylinder is suspended by a feeding hopper for feeding paste into the corresponding carbon gaps. The two sides below the feeding cylinder are equipped with scrapers that can be extended up and down. After the material is fed, the scrapers descend and move with the carriage to scrape the paste flat, and finally tamping is performed. For example, patent CN108286062B discloses a device and method for securing the filling material in the gaps of a cathode carbon block. This device involves moving a small end beam to guide the paste guide tube left and right to fill the gaps with paste. Then, the small end beam moves a securing hammer as a scraper to smooth the paste. Finally, the large end beam moves a securing gun to secure the paste in the gaps. The disadvantage of this device, which involves first filling the gaps and then directly smoothing them on the cathode carbon block, is that because the gaps are narrow and deep, it is difficult to ensure uniform filling. This means that some gaps may have more paste than others, making it difficult to guarantee uniformity and quality during subsequent securing. Furthermore, paste may overflow from the sides of the gaps, leading to inaccurate filling amounts. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aluminum electrolytic cell lining securing device and method, which can realize automatic material distribution and securing. During material distribution, the amount of material is first precisely controlled by a weighing device. Then, the paste is fed into the material trough in the hopper and directly scraped and leveled in the material trough. This ensures that the paste is evenly distributed in all parts of the material trough. Then, the material trough is flipped to pour the paste into the gaps of the carbon blocks, thereby ensuring that the material is evenly distributed in all parts of the gaps of the carbon blocks. In addition, during material distribution, the baffles on both sides of the hopper will also block the sides of the gaps of the carbon blocks to prevent the paste from overflowing. This ensures precise control of the amount of material distributed.

[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A device for securing the lining of an aluminum electrolytic cell includes a Y-axis movable gantry, an X-axis movable frame, and a hopper. The X-axis movable frame is mounted on the Y-axis movable gantry. The upper side of the X-axis movable frame is provided with a material box and a weighing device, and the lower side is provided with a material pipe, a vibration fine-tuning component, and a vibration device. The material box, weighing device, and material pipe are connected in sequence.

Baffles are provided at both ends of the hopper.

[0007] The Y-axis moving gantry is equipped with a hopper fine-tuning assembly, which includes an X-axis fine-tuning seat, an X-axis fine-tuning motor, an X-axis fine-tuning screw, and a fine-tuning hydraulic cylinder. The X-axis fine-tuning seat is located on the Y-axis moving gantry, and both the X-axis fine-tuning motor and the X-axis fine-tuning screw are located on the X-axis fine-tuning seat.

The fine-tuning hydraulic cylinder is slidably connected to the X-axis fine-tuning seat and is fitted with an X-axis fine-tuning nut on the X-axis fine-tuning screw. The lower end of the fine-tuning hydraulic cylinder is connected to the hopper via a hopper pull rod.

[0008] The X-axis movable frame is provided with a movable frame base plate on its lower side. The vibration fine-tuning component includes a Y-axis fine-tuning motor, a Y-axis fine-tuning gear, a Y-axis fine-tuning rack, and a Y-axis fine-tuning chassis. The Y-axis fine-tuning motor is located on the movable frame base plate, the Y-axis fine-tuning gear is located on the output shaft of the Y-axis fine-tuning motor, the Y-axis fine-tuning chassis is slidably connected to the movable frame base plate, and the Y-axis fine-tuning rack is located on the Y-axis fine-tuning chassis and meshes with the Y-axis fine-tuning gear.

[0009] The vibratory rotary assembly includes a vibratory rotary motor, a drive gear, and a driven gear. The vibratory rotary motor is mounted on the Y-axis fine-tuning chassis, the drive gear is mounted on the output shaft of the vibratory rotary motor, and the driven gear is rotatably located on the lower side of the Y-axis fine-tuning chassis and meshes with the drive gear. The upper end of the vibratory device is fixedly connected to the driven gear.

[0010] The base plate of the mobile frame is provided with an X-axis moving component, which includes an X-axis moving motor and an X-axis moving gear. The X-axis moving frame is slidably connected to the Y-axis moving gantry. The X-axis moving motor is located on the base plate of the mobile frame, and the X-axis moving gear is located on the output shaft of the X-axis moving motor. The Y-axis moving gantry is provided with an X-axis moving rack that meshes with the X-axis moving gear.

[0011] The vibrating device includes a vibrator and a lifting hydraulic cylinder, wherein the vibrator is mounted on the X-axis moving frame, the upper end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder is connected to the vibrator, and the lower end is provided with the fixing hammer.

[0012] The Y-axis movable gantry is mounted on the corresponding side uprights at both ends and is driven to move by the Y-axis movable components mounted on the uprights. The Y-axis movable components include a Y-axis movable motor and a Y-axis drive gear. The end of the Y-axis movable gantry is provided with a Y-axis movable roller, and the Y-axis movable roller rolls along the Y-axis movable track on the corresponding side upright. The Y-axis movable motor is located at the corresponding side end of the Y-axis movable gantry, and the Y-axis drive gear is mounted on the output shaft of the Y-axis movable motor and meshes with the Y-axis movable rack mounted on the corresponding side upright.

[0013] A control method based on the aluminum electrolytic cell lining securing device includes the following steps:

[0014] Step 1: The Y-axis moving gantry moves to the material feeding position, and the hopper outlet at the lower end of the hopper is aligned with the carbon block gap, while the cathode carbon block is located between the baffle plates on both sides of the hopper.

[0015] Step 2: The hopper is lowered and placed on the cathode carbon block. Then, the material box, weighing device and material pipe are activated to inject paste into the material trough of the hopper.

[0016] Step 3: After the filling is completed, the paste in the trough is scraped smooth.

[0017] Step 4: Turn the feed trough over and pour the paste into the gaps between the carbon blocks;

[0018] Step 5: The tamping hammer is adjusted to align with the gaps in the carbon blocks by the vibration fine-tuning component and then lowered. Then the vibration device is started and driven by the X-axis moving frame to move the tamping hammer along the X-axis to tack the paste in the gaps in the carbon blocks. After the vibration device moves to the set position, it is driven to rotate by the vibration rotation component and continue to move in the opposite direction.

[0019] In step one, the vibratory fine-tuning component is equipped with a laser sensor. After the laser sensor is aligned with the carbon block gap, it is moved by the X-axis moving frame to measure the gap width and gap height. Then, the equipment control system calculates and determines the amount of gap paste to be used based on the measurement data.

[0020] In step two, the weighing device controls the output of paste from the hopper according to the amount of paste required for the gap determined by the equipment control system.

[0021] The advantages and positive effects of this invention are as follows:

[0022] 1. This invention can realize automatic material distribution and securing. When distributing material, the amount of material is first precisely controlled by a weighing device. Then, the paste is fed into the material trough in the hopper and scraped directly in the trough. This can ensure that the paste is evenly distributed in the trough. Then, the trough is turned over to pour the paste evenly into the gaps of the carbon blocks, thereby ensuring that the material distribution in the gaps of the carbon blocks is even. At the same time, the hopper opening area is large, which also makes it convenient to control and observe.

[0023] 2. In this invention, baffles on both sides of the hopper are used to block the gaps between the carbon blocks during the feeding process to prevent the paste from overflowing, thus ensuring precise control of the feeding amount.

[0024] 3. The Y-axis moving gantry of the present invention is provided with a hopper fine-tuning component connected to the hopper pull rod. In addition to controlling the lifting and lowering of the hopper by the fine-tuning hydraulic cylinder, the hopper fine-tuning component can also drive the fine-tuning hydraulic cylinder to move along the X-axis to adjust the position by the X-axis fine-tuning motor, X-axis fine-tuning screw and other components. Therefore, it can be applied to hoppers that match different trough widths, which improves the flexibility and applicability of the present invention.

[0025] 4. In addition to being moved by the X-axis moving frame, the upper end of the vibrating device of the present invention is connected to the lower end of the X-axis moving frame through the vibrating fine adjustment component. The position can be adjusted by moving along the Y-axis through the vibrating fine adjustment component. This ensures that the material pipe is aligned with the material trough for material distribution and that the tying hammer is aligned with the carbon block gap for tying. At the same time, it is not affected by the distance error between the carbon block gaps.

[0026] 5. The vibratory fine-tuning component of the present invention is provided with a vibratory rotating component for driving the vibratory device to rotate, which can meet the need for reciprocating movement of the tamping hammer during tamping.

[0027] 6. The vibrating device of the present invention is equipped with a vibrator, which can make the tamping hammer move up and down at a set frequency to achieve the purpose of tamping the paste in the gap of the carbon block, thereby further ensuring the tamping quality.

[0028] 7. A laser sensor can be installed on the Y-axis fine-tuning chassis of the vibratory fine-tuning component of the present invention as needed. The laser sensor can be adjusted to align with the carbon block gap by the Y-axis fine-tuning chassis. Then, it can be moved by the X-axis moving frame to measure the gap width and gap height. The equipment control system can calculate and determine the amount of paste to be used in the gap based on the measurement data. The weighing device controls the paste output in the material box according to the amount of paste to be used in the gap determined by the equipment control system, thereby ensuring accurate material usage.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] The invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention includes a Y-axis movable gantry 1, an X-axis movable frame 8, and a hopper 3. The X-axis movable frame 8 is mounted on the Y-axis movable gantry 1. The upper side of the X-axis movable frame 8 is provided with a material box 10 and a weighing device 9, and the lower side is provided with a material pipe 6, a vibration fine-tuning assembly 7, a vibration rotation assembly 11, and a vibration device 5. The material box 10, the weighing device 9, and the material pipe 6 are connected sequentially. The upper end of the vibration device 5 is connected to the lower side of the X-axis movable frame 8 through the vibration fine-tuning assembly 7, and the vibration device 5 is driven to rotate by the vibration rotation assembly 11 mounted on the vibration fine-tuning assembly 7. The lower end of the vibration device 5 is provided with a liftable fixing hammer 501. Figure 1 As shown, the hopper 3 is vertically and flexibly positioned below the Y-axis movable gantry 1, and as... Figures 4-6 As shown, the hopper 3 has inclined surfaces on both sides inside, and the lower ends of the inclined surfaces taper to form the hopper outlet 304. A rotatable trough 303 is provided on either inclined surface. Additionally, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the hopper 3 is provided with baffle plates 301 at both ends.

[0040] When this invention is in operation, the Y-axis moving gantry 1 drives the hopper 3 to move to the fabric feeding position, and as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the hopper outlet 304 on the lower side of the hopper 3 needs to be aligned with the carbon block gap 13, and then the hopper 3 is lowered and placed on the upper surface of the cathode carbon block 12. At this time, as shown... Figure 5As shown, the lower side of the hopper 3 blocks the upper surface of the cathode carbon block 12 on both sides of the carbon block gap 13, and at the same time... Figure 7 As shown, the baffle plates 301 on both sides of the hopper 3 block the corresponding carbon block gaps 13 to prevent the paste from overflowing. Then, the material box 10, weighing device 9, and material pipe 6 are activated to first inject paste into the material trough 303 inside the hopper 3. The weighing device 9 is used to ensure that the amount of paste meets the requirements. After the injection is completed, the paste in the material trough 303 is directly scraped to ensure that the paste is evenly distributed. Then, the material trough 303 is flipped so that the paste flows automatically along the inclined surface inside the hopper 3 into the carbon block gaps 13 between the cathode carbon blocks 12, thereby ensuring that the paste is evenly distributed in the carbon block gaps 13. Then, the fixing hammer 501 is used for... Figure 3 The device is positioned as shown and adjusted along the Y-axis by the vibratory fine-tuning component 7 to align with the carbon block gap 13 as it descends. After the tamping hammer 501 reaches its position, the vibratory device 5 is activated and moved along the X-axis by the X-axis moving frame 8 to tack the paste in the carbon block gap 13. The vibratory device 5 travels to a set position, rotates 180 degrees, and then continues to travel in the opposite direction, thus achieving the purpose of tamping the paste in the carbon block gap 13 through back-and-forth movement. The material box 10 and the weighing device 9 are both well-known technologies in the art; for example, see patents such as CN118543286B. Additionally, the paste in the material trough 303 can be leveled using a vertically retractable scraper structure as described in CN101274446B. The scraper can be mounted on the material pipe 6. After the material is distributed in the material trough 303, the scraper descends to a set height to level the paste in the trough 303. This invention can also adopt other suitable structural forms according to actual needs.

The X-axis fine-tuning seat is located on the Y-axis moving gantry 1, and both the X-axis fine-tuning motor 401 and the X-axis fine-tuning screw 402 are located on the X-axis fine-tuning seat. The X-axis fine-tuning screw 402 is driven to rotate by the X-axis fine-tuning motor 401. The hydraulic cylinder 403 is slidably connected to the X-axis fine-tuning seat, and the lower end of the cylinder rod is connected to the hopper 3 via the hopper pull rod 302. The hopper 3 is driven to rise and fall by the fine-tuning hydraulic cylinder 403. In this embodiment, the X-axis fine-tuning seat is provided with an X-axis fine-tuning slide rail 404, and the fine-tuning hydraulic cylinder 403 is provided with an X-axis fine-tuning slider that cooperates with the corresponding X-axis fine-tuning slide rail 404. The fine-tuning hydraulic cylinder 403 is provided with an X-axis fine-tuning nut that is fitted onto the X-axis fine-tuning screw 402. When the width of the electrolytic cell and the length of the matching hopper 3 change, the present invention uses the hopper fine-tuning component 4 to drive the fine-tuning hydraulic cylinder 403 to move along the X-axis to adjust to a suitable position, and then connects the fine-tuning hydraulic cylinder 403 to the hopper 3 via the hopper pull rod 302. This improves the flexibility and applicability of the present invention.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the two ends of the Y-axis movable gantry 1 are respectively mounted on the corresponding side uprights and driven to move by the Y-axis movable assembly 2 mounted on the uprights. The Y-axis movable assembly 2 includes a Y-axis movable motor 203 and a Y-axis drive gear 202.

The Y-axis fine-tuning rack 702 is provided on the Y-axis fine-tuning chassis 703, and the Y-axis fine-tuning gear 701 meshes with the Y-axis fine-tuning rack 702. The Y-axis fine-tuning motor drives the Y-axis fine-tuning gear 701 to rotate, thereby driving the Y-axis fine-tuning chassis 703 to move and adjust its position along the Y-axis, and thus driving the vibrating device 5 to move and adjust its position along the Y-axis.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the vibratory rotary assembly 11 includes a vibratory rotary motor 1101, a drive gear 1102, and a driven gear 1103.

The upper end of the vibratory device 5 is fixedly connected to the driven gear 1103. The vibratory rotary motor 1101 drives the driven gear 1103 to rotate through the drive gear 1102, thereby driving the vibratory device 5 to rotate.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the base plate 801 of the movable frame is provided with an X-axis moving component, which includes an X-axis moving motor 802 and an X-axis moving gear. The X-axis moving frame 8 is slidably connected to the Y-axis moving gantry 1, wherein the Y-axis moving gantry 1 is provided with an X-axis moving guide rail 102, and the X-axis moving frame 8 is provided with X-axis moving sliders that respectively cooperate with the corresponding X-axis moving guide rails 102. The X-axis moving motor 802 is provided on the base plate 801 of the movable frame, and the X-axis moving gear is provided on the output shaft of the X-axis moving motor 802. The Y-axis moving gantry 1 is provided with an X-axis moving rack, and the X-axis moving gear cooperates with the X-axis moving rack. The X-axis moving motor 802 drives the X-axis moving gear to roll along the X-axis moving rack roller, thereby driving the entire X-axis moving frame 8 to move along the X-axis.

[0046] like Figures 2-3As shown, in this embodiment, the vibrating device 5 includes a vibrator 503 and a lifting hydraulic cylinder 502. The vibrator 503 is mounted on the X-axis moving frame 8. The upper end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 502 is connected to the vibrator 503, and the lower end is equipped with the fixing hammer 501. The material tube 6 is fixed to the cylinder body of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 502 by a material tube fixing member 601. When the present invention is working, the vibrator 503 can cause the fixing hammer 501 to move up and down slightly at a set frequency to achieve the purpose of pounding the paste in the gap 13 of the carbon block, thereby ensuring the fixing quality. The vibrator 503 is a technology known in the art and is a commercially available product.

[0047] like Figures 4-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower end of the material trough 303 is provided with a material trough rotating shaft 3031, and one end of the material trough rotating shaft 3031 is rotatably installed on the side wall of the hopper 3, and the other end is fixedly connected to a rotary drive device located on the outside of the hopper 3. When the paste in the material trough 303 is scraped flat, the material trough rotating shaft 3031 is driven to rotate by the rotary drive device, thereby driving the material trough 303 to rotate and pour out the paste.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower end of the material pipe 6 is fixed to the vibrating device 5 by a material pipe fixing member 601. Thus, when the vibrating device 5 is moved and fine-tuned along the Y direction by the vibrating fine-tuning component 7, the outlet at the lower end of the material pipe 6 can also move accordingly. The upper part of the material pipe 6 is a flexible hose of appropriate length to ensure that the material pipe 6 moves and rotates back and forth with the vibrating device 5. The material pipe fixing member 601 can be a connecting clamp or other components, which is a well-known technology in the art.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the electrical control cabinet 101 and hydraulic station 103, which are compatible with the device of the present invention, are both located on the Y-direction moving gantry 1.

[0050] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0051] The control method of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0052] Step 1: The Y-axis moving gantry 1 moves to the cloth position, and the hopper outlet 304 at the lower end of the hopper 3 is aligned with the carbon block gap 13, while the cathode carbon block 12 is located between the baffle plates 301 on both sides of the hopper 3.

[0053] Step 2: The hopper 3 is driven down by each fine-tuning hydraulic cylinder 403 and placed on the upper surface of the cathode carbon block 12, and at this time... Figure 5 As shown, the lower surface of the hopper 3 blocks the upper surface of the cathode carbon blocks 12 on both sides of the carbon block gap 13, as... Figure 7As shown, the baffle plate 301 blocks both sides of the carbon block gap 13, and then the material box 10, the weighing device 9 and the material pipe 6 are activated to inject paste into the material trough 303 inside the hopper 3;

[0054] Step 3: After the filling is completed, the paste in the material tank 303 is scraped smooth.

[0055] Step 4: Turn the material trough 303 over to pour the paste into the carbon block gap 13;

[0056] Step 5, use the 501 anchoring hammer. Figure 3 The device is positioned parallel to the carbon block gap 13. The position is adjusted by the vibration fine-tuning component 7 to align with the carbon block gap 13 and then lowered. The vibration device 5 is then activated and driven by the X-axis moving frame 8 to move the tying hammer 501 along the X-axis to tack the paste in the carbon block gap 13. After the vibration device 5 reaches the set position, it rotates 180 degrees and then continues to move in the opposite direction, thereby achieving the purpose of tackling the paste in the carbon block gap 13 by moving back and forth.

[0057] In step one above, a laser sensor is positioned at a suitable location on the Y-axis fine-tuning base 703 of the vibratory fine-tuning component 7. This laser sensor can be adjusted via the Y-axis fine-tuning base 703 to align with the carbon block gap 13. Then, it is moved via the X-axis moving frame 8 to measure the width and depth of the carbon block gap 13. This allows the equipment control system to calculate and determine the amount of adhesive used during fabric application based on the measurement data. In step two above, the weighing device 9 controls the adhesive output from the material box 10 based on the adhesive amount determined by the equipment control system.
