[0119] When the prebaked anode online carbon bowl automatic filling equipment is filled,

[0120] The filling part 5 is located at the origin, and the sawdust level detection unit 506 detects that the sawdust filling bin 505 needs to be refilled. The sawdust conveyor 601 starts to deliver the sawdust in the sawdust storage bin 602 into the sawdust filling bin 505 until the sawdust level detection unit 506 sends a full signal, and the sawdust conveyor 601 stops conveying sawdust.

[0121] The mixed material level detection unit 509 detects that the mixed filling bin 508 needs to be refilled, and the mixed elevator 604 starts to lift the mixed material in the mixed storage bin 605 into the mixed filling bin 508 until the mixed material level detection unit 509 sends a full material signal, and the mixed elevator 604 stops lifting the mixed material.

[0122] After the conveying part is started, the first conveying driving unit 201 drives the first part to move, and at the same time, the second conveying driving unit 202 drives the second part to move, and the prebaked anode group moves. When the first limit detection unit 301 detects that the first prebaked anode 7 at the front end leaves the first part and sends a first arrival signal, the first conveying driving unit 201 stops driving the first part to move, and at the same time, the second conveying driving unit 202 stops driving the second part to move. At this time, the second and subsequent prebaked anodes 7 are in the first part.

[0123] The visual camera 303 detects the prebaked anode 7 in the filling area and obtains the coordinate information and size information of the charcoal bowl. At the same time, after the sawdust level detection unit 506 and the mixed material level detection unit 509 detect the full material signal, the filling part 5 moves through the joint drive of the X servo drive unit 403 and the Y servo drive unit 406 until the discharge port 5 stops at the first charcoal bowl to be filled with the prebaked anode 7, the sawdust drive unit 504 is started, and the sawdust conveying part of the bidirectional filling machine 502 conveys the sawdust in the sawdust filling bin 505 to the discharge end 503 of the filling machine, and enters the filling hopper 510. After the first charcoal bowl of the prebaked anode 7 in the filling area is filled with sawdust and mixed material, the filling unit 506 is driven by the X servo drive unit 403 and the Y servo drive unit 406, and the filling unit 506 moves until the compacting plate 514 stops facing the first filled charcoal bowl, and the charcoal bowl is compacted by the compacting cylinder 512 and the compacting vibrator 513.

[0124] After the compacting cylinder 512 contracts and the second limit detection unit 302 does not detect the presence of the prebaked anode 7, the second conveying drive unit 202 drives the second part, and at the same time, the third conveying drive unit 203 drives the third part, and the prebaked anode 7 moves forward. When the second limit detection unit 302 detects that the prebaked anode 7 leaves the second part and sends a second arrival signal, the system repeats the next filling cycle, and the second prebaked anode enters the filling cycle.

[0125] In one embodiment, after the automatic filling control system of the prebaked anode online carbon bowl is started, the filling section 5 is located at the origin, and if the sawdust level detection unit 506 detects that the sawdust filling bin 505 needs to be refilled, the sawdust conveyor 601 is started to deliver the sawdust in the sawdust storage bin 602 into the sawdust filling bin 505 until the sawdust level detection unit 506 sends a full signal, and the sawdust conveyor 601 stops conveying sawdust. At the same time, if the mixed material level detection unit 509 detects that the mixed filling bin 508 needs to be refilled, the mixed elevator 604 is started to lift the mixed material in the mixed storage bin 605 into the mixed filling bin 508 until the mixed material level detection unit 509 sends a full signal, and the mixed elevator 604 stops lifting the mixed material.

[0126] After the control system of the online automatic carbon bowl filling device for prebaked anodes is started, the first conveying driving unit 201 drives the first part to move, and at the same time, the second conveying driving unit 202 drives the second part to move, and the prebaked anode group moves in the direction of the arrow.

[0127] When the first limit detection unit 301 detects that the first prebaked anode 7 at the front end leaves the first part and sends a first arrival signal, the first conveying drive unit 201 stops driving the first part to move, and at the same time, the second conveying drive unit 202 stops driving the second part to move. At this time, the second and subsequent prebaked anodes 7 are in the first part.

[0128] In a preferred embodiment, the visual camera 303 detects the prebaked anode 7 in the filling area to obtain the coordinate information and size information of the charcoal bowl. At the same time, after the sawdust level detection unit 506 and the mixed level detection unit 509 detect the full material signal, the filling part 5 moves through the joint drive of the X servo drive unit 403 and the Y servo drive unit 406 until the discharge port 5 stops at the first charcoal bowl to be filled with the prebaked anode 7, the sawdust drive unit 504 is started, and the sawdust conveying part of the bidirectional filling machine 502 conveys the sawdust in the sawdust filling bin 505 to the discharge end 503 of the filling machine, and enters the charcoal bowl through the filling hopper 510, and stops after the filling amount is met. Then the mixing drive unit 507 is started, and the mixed material conveying part of the bidirectional filling machine 502 conveys the mixed material in the mixed filling bin 508 to the unloading end 503 of the filling machine, and enters the charcoal bowl through the filling hopper 510, and stops after the filling amount is met. After the first charcoal bowl of the prebaked anode 7 in the filling area is filled with sawdust and mixed material, the filling part 5 moves through the joint drive of the X servo drive unit 403 and the Y servo drive unit 406 until the compacting plate 514 stops facing the first filled charcoal bowl, and the charcoal bowl is compacted by the compacting cylinder 512 and the compacting vibrator 513. After the specified time is met, the next charcoal bowl is filled until all the charcoal bowls are filled and compacted.

[0129] In a preferred embodiment, after the last carbon bowl is compacted, the compacting cylinder 512 contracts, and the second limit detection unit 302 does not detect the presence of the prebaked anode 7, the second conveying drive unit 202 drives the second part, and at the same time, the third conveying drive unit 203 drives the third part, and the prebaked anode 7 moves forward. When the second limit detection unit 302 detects that the prebaked anode 7 leaves the second part and sends a second arrival signal, the equipment repeats the next filling cycle.
