Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of anode carbon block cleaning equipment technology, specifically to a flexible anode carbon block cleaning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Raw charcoal blocks are transformed into calcined charcoal blocks after a roasting process. Unroasted blocks are called raw charcoal blocks, while roasted blocks are called calcined charcoal blocks. The roasting furnace is pit-shaped. To facilitate the entry and exit of charcoal blocks and improve production efficiency, horizontally placed charcoal blocks must be stood upright side-by-side, with the charcoal bowls facing opposite directions; this process is called charcoal block grouping. Before the charcoal blocks enter the roasting furnace, the charcoal bowls are filled with charcoal powder to prevent deformation during roasting. After the charcoal blocks are loaded into the furnace, they are covered with charcoal powder to retain heat. During roasting, additives such as asphalt in the charcoal blocks precipitate out, causing charcoal powder and coke particles to adhere to the surface of the blocks. After roasting, the vertically packed charcoal blocks must be rearranged into horizontal blocks for cleaning and transport; this process is called charcoal block ungrouping. During ungrouping, the coke particles and charcoal powder on the surface of the charcoal blocks, as well as the filler material in the charcoal bowls, must be cleaned; this process is called charcoal block cleaning.

[0003] Traditional anode carbon blocks are cleaned primarily manually or mechanically. Manual cleaning generates a large amount of carbon powder and coke dust. Long-term inhalation of this dust can severely impact workers' health and quality of life. Mechanical cleaning, on the other hand, can lead to damage to the shape or structure of the carbon blocks due to the inability to adjust the cleaning mechanism in a timely manner, resulting in waste blocks.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment: the feeding and conveying unit 1 includes a support frame 101, a charcoal block storage bin 102 is mounted on the top of the support frame 101, a storage bin drive cylinder 103 is installed on the top of the support frame 101, a debris screw conveyor frame 104 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the charcoal block storage bin 102, a conveying drive motor 105 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the charcoal block storage bin 102, a charcoal block pusher plate 106 is movably sleeved in the inner cavity of the charcoal block storage bin 102, and the charcoal block pusher plate 106 is connected to the power output shaft of the conveying drive motor 105 by a chain.

[0046] In the above structure, the carbon blocks to be processed are stored in the inner cavity of the carbon block storage bin 102 provided on the top of the support frame 101. The chain is driven by the conveyor drive motor 105, which in turn drives the carbon block pusher plate 106 to move, so that the carbon block pusher plate 106 slides along the inner wall of the carbon block storage bin 102. In this process, the carbon blocks are pushed out of the carbon block storage bin 102.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment: the charcoal block turning unit 2 includes a charcoal block turning frame 201, a turning support frame 202 is rotatably connected to one end of the charcoal block turning frame 201 near the support frame 101, a turning arm 203 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the turning support frame 202, a turning cylinder 204 is installed on the outer wall of the charcoal block turning frame 201, and a transverse push roller 205 is rotatably connected to the top of the charcoal block turning frame 201.

[0048] In the above structure, the carbon blocks in the carbon block storage bin 102 are pushed onto the tilting support frame 202 by the movement of the carbon block pusher plate 106. Then, the tilting support frame 202 is driven by the tilting cylinder 204, so that the tilting support frame 202 is tilted on the top of the carbon block tilting frame 201, thereby releasing the carbon blocks onto the top of the carbon block tilting frame 201. The carbon blocks are then driven by the transverse pusher roller 205 on the top of the carbon block tilting frame 201.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment: the charcoal block identification and adjustment unit 3 includes an attitude adjustment support platform 301, a rotating attitude adjustment seat 302 is rotatably connected to the top of the attitude adjustment support platform 301, a feeding pusher roller 303 is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating attitude adjustment seat 302, an attitude adjustment rotating gear 304 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the rotating attitude adjustment seat 302, and an attitude adjustment drive motor 305 is fixedly mounted at the top of the attitude adjustment support platform 301.

[0050] In the above structure, the charcoal blocks are driven by the transverse push roller 205 on the top of the charcoal block turning frame 201, so that the charcoal blocks are moved from the top of the charcoal block turning frame 201 to the top of the attitude adjustment support platform 301. According to the orientation of the head and tail of the charcoal blocks, the rotation of the rotating attitude adjustment seat 302 is adjusted. The attitude adjustment drive motor 305 drives the rotation of the attitude adjustment rotating gear 304, so that the rotating attitude adjustment seat 302 rotates on the top of the attitude adjustment support platform 301 to facilitate the subsequent cleaning of the charcoal blocks. Then, the feeding pusher roller 303 moves the charcoal blocks on the top of the rotating attitude adjustment seat 302, continuously conveying the charcoal blocks downward.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment: the charcoal bowl and charcoal block bottom cleaning unit 4 includes a cleaning main frame 401 and a moving cutting cleaning mechanism. The bottom of the cleaning main frame 401 is provided with a carrying conveying platform 402, the top of the carrying conveying platform 402 is rotatably connected with a conveying drive roller 403, the top of the cleaning main frame 401 is installed with a clamping drive cylinder 404, and the inner cavity of the cleaning main frame 401 is rotatably connected with a clamping positioning plate 405.

[0052] The mobile cutting and cleaning mechanism includes an end face cutting frame 406 and a carbon bowl cutting seat 4011. A sliding guide rail 407 is fixedly mounted on the top of the end face cutting frame 406, and a guide toothed plate 408 is fixedly mounted on the top of the end face cutting frame 406. An end face cutting moving table 409 is movably sleeved on the top of the sliding guide rail 407, and an end face cutting milling cutter 4010 is rotatably connected to the end of the end face cutting moving table 409. A carbon bowl cleaning seat 4012 is fixedly mounted on the top of the carbon bowl cutting seat 4011. A horizontal guide rail 4013 is fixedly mounted on the top of 4012. A vertical guide rail 4014 is movably sleeved on the top of the charcoal bowl cleaning seat 4012. A dual-axis feed slide 4015 is movably sleeved on the top of the vertical guide rail 4014. A feed drive module 4016 is fixedly mounted on the top of the dual-axis feed slide 4015. A charcoal bowl cleaning milling head 4017 is installed at the end of the dual-axis feed slide 4015. A vision recognition sensor 4018 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the dual-axis feed slide 4015.

[0053] In the above structure, a carrying conveyor 402 is mounted at the bottom of the inner cavity of the cleaning main frame 401, and a conveying drive roller 403 is rotatably connected to the top of the carrying conveyor 402. When the carbon block passes through the carbon block flipping frame 201 and the rotating posture adjustment seat 302 for transfer and rotation, the carbon block can be conveyed to the top of the carrying conveyor 402. The clamping drive cylinder 404 drives the rotation of the clamping positioning plate 405, so that the clamping positioning plates 405 on both sides move closer to each other, thereby clamping the carbon block and fixing the carbon block on the top of the carrying conveyor 402 for cutting and cleaning processing of the carbon block.

[0054] The end-face cutting moving stage 409 is driven by a drive motor and gear set mounted on it, allowing it to move along the top of the guide tooth plate 408. As the end-face cutting moving stage 409 moves, the end-face cutting milling cutter 4010 passes over the end face of the carbon block to perform a cleaning operation. At this time, the carbon bowl of the carbon block faces the direction of the carbon bowl cleaning milling head 4017. The end-face cutting milling cutter 4010 is cutting the bottom end face of the carbon block. After the bottom end face of the carbon block is cleaned by the end-face cutting milling cutter 4010, the image is captured by the visual recognition sensor 4. The 018 is used to identify and locate the position of the charcoal bowl. Then, through the power source on the top of the vertical guide rail 4014 and the feed drive module 4016 set on the top of the dual-axis feed slide 4015, the dual-axis feed slide 4015 is moved in a dual-axis position to flexibly adjust the position of the charcoal bowl cleaning milling head 4017, so that the charcoal bowl cleaning milling head 4017 can approach the charcoal bowl and clean it. After passing through the charcoal bowl and charcoal block bottom surface cleaning unit 4, the charcoal bowl of the charcoal block and the end face of the charcoal block near the end face cutting mill 4010 can be cleaned.

[0056] In the above structure, after the charcoal block is cleaned by the charcoal bowl cleaning milling head 4017 and the end face cutting milling cutter 4010 through the set flipping mechanism base 501, the clamping drive cylinder 404 and the clamping positioning plate 405 release the clamping of the charcoal block. The charcoal block is continuously conveyed by the conveying drive roller 403, so that the charcoal block moves towards the flipping mechanism base 501 and enters the inner cavity of the flipping material frame 502. At this time, the charcoal bowl of the charcoal block is placed on its side. The flipping drive motor 504 drives the driven plate 503 to rotate, so that the flipping material frame 502 can rotate 90 degrees on the top of the flipping mechanism base 501, thereby changing the orientation of the charcoal bowl of the charcoal block. The end face cleaned by the end face cutting milling cutter 4010 is rotated to the bottom. Then, the discharge roller drive motor 506 drives the discharge roller 505 in the frame to continue to convey the charcoal block downward.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment: the carbon block end face cleaning unit 6 includes an end face cleaning frame 601, a longitudinal pushing guide rail 602 is fixedly mounted on the top of the end face cleaning frame 601, a longitudinal clamping pusher 603 is movably sleeved on the top of the longitudinal pushing guide rail 602, a longitudinal pushing drive component 6014 is fixedly mounted on the top of the longitudinal clamping pusher 603, an auxiliary clamping arm 604 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the longitudinal clamping pusher 603, and a primary conveying platform 605 and a secondary conveying platform 606 are mounted on the bottom of the inner cavity of the end face cleaning frame 601. The outer wall of the end face cleaning frame 601 is fixedly equipped with front and rear end face cleaning knife sets 607. The top of the end face cleaning frame 601 is fixedly equipped with a transverse feed guide rail 608. The top of the transverse feed guide rail 608 is movably sleeved with a transverse clamping push frame 609. The top of the transverse clamping push frame 609 is fixedly equipped with a transverse pushing drive component 6010. The outer wall of the end face cleaning frame 601 is fixedly equipped with two end face cleaning knife sets 6011. The bottom of the inner cavity of the end face cleaning frame 601 is equipped with a transfer discharge frame 6012. The outer side of the end face cleaning frame 601 is equipped with a cross-unit transfer frame 6013.

[0058] In the above structure, after the charcoal block is flipped by the charcoal block posture flipping unit 5, it is conveyed to the top of the primary conveying platform 605. The charcoal block is clamped by the longitudinal clamping pusher 603 and the auxiliary clamping arm 604. Then, the longitudinal pushing drive 6014 on the top of the longitudinal clamping pusher 603 drives the longitudinal clamping pusher 603, allowing it to move along the top of the longitudinal pushing guide rail 602, thereby pushing the charcoal block towards the front and rear end face cleaning blade assembly 607 until the charcoal block passes between the two front and rear end face cleaning blade assemblies 607. During this process, the front and rear end face cleaning blade assemblies 607 clean the smaller front and rear ends of the charcoal block. As the longitudinal pushing drive 6014 moves the longitudinal... The longitudinal clamping pusher 603 drives the carbon block to move continuously on the top of the secondary conveying platform 606 until the carbon block moves to the bottom of the transverse clamping pusher 609. Then, the transverse pusher 6010 on the top of the transverse clamping pusher 609 drives the transverse clamping pusher 609 to move along the top of the transverse feed guide 608. The transverse clamping pusher 609 drives the carbon block so that the carbon block can pass between the two end face cleaning blades 6011. The two end face cleaning blades 6011 clean the larger ends of the carbon block. After passing through the carbon bowl and carbon block bottom cleaning unit 4 and the carbon block end face cleaning unit 6, the five end faces of the carbon block and the carbon bowl are cut and cleaned respectively.

[0060] In the above structure, through the first fine cleaning frame 701 and the second fine cleaning frame 702, after the charcoal blocks are cut and polished by the charcoal bowl and charcoal block bottom surface cleaning unit 4 and the charcoal block end surface cleaning unit 6, the charcoal blocks are transported to the top of the cross-unit transfer frame 6012 via the transfer discharge frame 6012. The cross-unit transfer frame 6013 then transports all the charcoal blocks with their end surfaces cut and cleaned to the top of the first fine cleaning frame 701 and the second fine cleaning frame 702. A power source mounted on the vision moving slide 707 drives the vision moving slide 707 to adjust the vision moving slide. The position of the platform 707 on the sliding guide rail 706 allows the high-definition visual inspection camera 708 to perform image recognition on the carbon block. Subsequently, the milling robot 704, which is mounted on the top of the robotic arm mounting base 703, performs more precise cutting on the carbon block after it has been cleaned. The milling robot 704 is equipped with a high-speed rotating milling cutter head at the end flange of the milling robot 704. The milling robot 704 performs more precise cleaning on the carbon block after it has been cleaned by the front carbon bowl and carbon block bottom cleaning unit 4 and carbon block end face cleaning unit 6. It also cuts and cleans the areas of the carbon block that have not been cleaned, ensuring that the carbon block is cleaned more thoroughly.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment: the discharge conveying unit 8 includes a discharge frame 801, a sorting conveyor roller 802 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the discharge frame 801, a qualified finished product discharge platform 803 is installed on the outside of the sorting conveyor roller 802, and a defective product unloading platform 804 is installed on the outside of the qualified finished product discharge platform 803.

[0062] In the above structure, after the carbon blocks are processed by the milling robot 704, they are conveyed to the top of the discharge frame 801 and the sorting conveyor 802 respectively. Then, they are conveyed as a whole by the sorting conveyor 802. After the milling robot 704 performs fine cutting on the carbon blocks, the high-definition vision inspection camera 708 at the bottom of the vision moving slide 707 performs image recognition on the carbon blocks to determine whether there are defects. The sorting conveyor 802 moves the carbon blocks with defects to the position of the corresponding defective product unloading platform 804 and releases them onto the defective product unloading platform 804. The non-defective carbon blocks are released onto the top of the qualified finished product discharge platform 803, completing the entire cutting and cleaning of the carbon blocks.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, there are two front and rear end face cleaning knife groups 607 and two side end face cleaning knife groups 6011, and the two cleaning knife groups are respectively installed on both sides of the outer wall of the end face cleaning frame 601.

[0064] In the above structure, the front and rear end face cleaning knife groups 607 and the two side end face cleaning knife groups 6011 are respectively set on both sides of the outer wall of the end face cleaning frame 601. When the carbon block is driven by the longitudinal clamping push frame 603 and the transverse clamping push frame 609, the carbon block passes between the front and rear end face cleaning knife groups 607 and the two side end face cleaning knife groups 6011 from two directions, thereby cleaning the four end faces of the carbon block under the action of the front and rear end face cleaning knife groups 607 and the two side end face cleaning knife groups 6011.

[0065] Working principle: The anode carbon blocks to be cleaned are first stored in the inner cavity of the carbon block storage bin 102. The storage bin drive cylinder 103 drives the carbon block storage bin 102 to move laterally along the top of the support frame 101, so that the carbon blocks piled in the inner cavity of the carbon block storage bin 102 correspond to the position of the flipping support frame 202. The conveying drive motor 105 drives the chain to drive the carbon block pusher plate 106 to move along the inner wall of the carbon block storage bin 102, pushing the carbon blocks to the flipping support frame 202. The flipping cylinder 204 drives the flipping support frame 202 to the top of the carbon block flipping frame 201. The charcoal block is flipped over and placed horizontally on the top surface of the charcoal block flipping frame 201. Then, the charcoal block is pushed to the top of the attitude adjustment support platform 301 by the horizontal push roller 205. According to the orientation of the charcoal bowl, the attitude adjustment drive motor 305 drives the attitude adjustment rotary gear disk 304 to rotate the attitude adjustment seat 302 to adjust the orientation, so that the orientation of the charcoal bowl is closer to the charcoal bowl cleaning milling head 4017. Then, the feeding pusher roller 303 pushes the charcoal block on the rotary attitude adjustment seat 302 downward to the charcoal bowl and the bottom surface cleaning unit 4 of the charcoal block, thus completing the charcoal block feeding and pre-positioning attitude adjustment.

[0066] After the charcoal block enters the top of the conveying platform 402, the clamping drive cylinder 404 drives the clamping positioning plates 405 on both sides to move closer together and clamp and fix the charcoal block. In the moving cutting and cleaning mechanism, the power unit drives the end face cutting moving table 409 to move along the sliding guide rail 407, which drives the end face cutting milling cutter 4010 to cut and clean the bottom end face of the charcoal block. The visual recognition sensor 4018 identifies and positions the charcoal bowl, and the power drive vertical guide rail 4014 cooperates with the feed drive module 4016 to realize the dual-axis feed slide 4015 dual-axis displacement, which drives the charcoal bowl cleaning milling head 4017 to move precisely and clean the charcoal bowl. After the basic cutting is completed, the clamping positioning plate 405 is released from clamping the charcoal block, and the charcoal block is transported to the charcoal block posture flipping unit 5 by the continuous operation of the conveying drive roller 403.

[0067] When the charcoal block enters the inner cavity of the tilting frame 502, the charcoal bowl is placed on its side. The tilting drive motor 504 drives the driven plate 503 to rotate the tilting frame 502 90 degrees on top of the tilting mechanism base 501, completing the orientation change of the charcoal block, so that the cleaned end face rotates to the bottom and the charcoal bowl is adjusted to face upward. Then, the discharge roller drive motor 506 drives the discharge roller 505 in the frame to release the charcoal block to the top of the primary conveying platform 605. The longitudinal pushing drive component 6014 drives the longitudinal clamping push frame 603 to move along the longitudinal pushing guide rail 602. The longitudinal clamping push frame 603, in conjunction with the auxiliary clamping arm 604, clamps and pushes the charcoal. The block passes through the front and rear end face cleaning knife groups 607 on both sides, and the front and rear end face cleaning knife groups 607 clean the small-sized ends of the carbon block at both ends; the carbon block continues to move to the underside of the transverse clamping push frame 609, and the transverse push drive 6010 drives the transverse clamping push frame 609 to push the carbon block through the two end face cleaning knife groups 6011 on both sides, and the two end face cleaning knife groups 6011 on both sides clean the large-sized ends of the carbon block on both sides. After being processed by the carbon bowl and carbon block bottom surface cleaning unit 4 and the carbon block end face cleaning unit 6, the five end faces of the carbon block and the basic cutting and cleaning of the carbon bowl are completed. Finally, the carbon block is transferred to the cross-unit transfer frame 6013 by the transfer discharge rack 6012.

[0068] The cross-unit transfer frame 6013 transports the cleaned carbon blocks to the top of the first fine cleaning frame 701 and the second fine cleaning frame 702. The power-driven vision moving slide 707 slides and adjusts its position along the sliding guide rail 706. The high-definition vision inspection camera 708 performs image acquisition and recognition on the carbon blocks. The milling robot 704, mounted on the top of the robotic arm mounting base 703, has a high-speed rotating milling cutter head at its end. It performs fine milling and trimming on the areas of the carbon blocks that were not covered by the basic cleaning, eliminates cleaning dead corners, and completes the fine and flexible cleaning operation of the carbon blocks.

[0069] After fine processing, the carbon blocks are conveyed to the discharge frame 801 of the discharge conveying unit 8 and above the sorting conveyor roller 802, where the carbon blocks are transported as a whole. Based on the carbon block defect judgment results obtained by the image recognition of the high-definition visual inspection camera 708, the sorting conveyor roller 802 transports the defect-free qualified carbon blocks to the qualified finished product discharge table 803 for discharge, while the carbon blocks with cleaning defects are transported to the defective product unloading table 804 for separate unloading. The entire process runs in a continuous manner, completing the fully automatic flexible cleaning and sorting of anode carbon blocks.
