[0002] In the production process of pre-baked anode carbon blocks for aluminum electrolysis, in order to prevent the carbon bowl from collapsing and deforming during roasting, the carbon bowl must be pre-filled before the carbon blocks are assembled and put into the furnace to play a supporting role. The filling and compacting operations are usually done manually. The problems with manual filling of carbon bowls are poor working environment, high labor intensity, repetitive operations, and low labor technology level. Although some companies have tried to automate this process, it is still difficult to completely replace manual work while ensuring the quality of filling the bowl.

[0003] Most of the existing carbon block bowl filling devices only have one filling and compacting operation in the carbon bowl. This type of device first delivers all the fillers to the carbon bowl, and then compacts the fillers from the top downward. The problem is that, first, after only one compaction, the fillers in the carbon bowl become compacted and the volume decreases, an empty material area is formed on the top of the carbon bowl, and the supporting effect at the bowl mouth is weakened; second, after only one compaction, the friction between the side wall of the carbon bowl and the fillers causes the pressure to be transmitted unevenly in the fillers, resulting in uneven density of the fillers in the carbon bowl after compaction, which also affects the supporting effect of the fillers on the side wall of the carbon bowl.

[0004] Therefore, a device for automatically feeding, positioning and pressing carbon bowl filling materials is proposed. Utility Model Content
