Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of aluminum electrolysis equipment, and specifically relates to an automatic operation device that drives a high-power electromagnetic iron remover through an electric hoist. Background Art

[0002] The crushed material used for sealing the aluminum electrolytic cell is a mixed agglomerate of electrolyte, alumina, and fluoride salts naturally formed on the surface of the anode in the electrolytic cell during the production process. Due to the high-temperature oxidation during the electrolytic production process, a layer of ferrophosphorus oxide layer is usually formed on the surface of the anode guide rod. After the anode used in the electrolytic cell is periodically replaced, the anode surface agglomerates are usually cleaned, crushed, and used again for the anode covering of the electrolytic cell production surface. However, during the cleaning process, the agglomerates are tightly bonded to the ferrophosphorus oxide layer, and the agglomerates often contain a large amount of ferrophosphorus and ferrophosphorus-containing materials. After passing through the crushing system, the ferrophosphorus in the agglomerates can be physically separated from the required materials as much as possible. Ferrophosphorus and any substance containing iron are quality indicators that need to be strictly controlled in the electrolytic aluminum production process. Excessive iron recovery entering the electrolytic aluminum system will seriously affect the electrolytic aluminum production process.

[0003] In the daily crushing production process, due to the large amount of crushing, the crushed materials need to go through two production processes, namely coarse crushing and fine crushing. A total of three sets of high-power electromagnetic iron removal equipment are installed at both ends of the two crushing production processes. Since the crushed materials need to be transported through three long belts, the installation distance of the three sets of high-power electromagnetic iron removal equipment is also relatively long. In the daily crushing process, personnel need to constantly check the three sets of high-power electromagnetic iron removal equipment. Once it is found that the amount of iron absorbed is large, the electromagnetic iron remover must be manually remotely controlled to the discharge port to release the material. Therefore, based on the current manual control of high-power electromagnetic iron removal equipment in the crushing system, it is urgent to design a device that can operate automatically and can effectively reduce the labor intensity of employees and improve the iron removal efficiency of the crushing system. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide an automatic operation device which drives a high-power electromagnetic iron remover through an electric hoist, so as to solve the problem that the labor intensity of on-site workers is high and the iron content of crushed materials remains high, which seriously affects the smooth operation of the electrolytic aluminum production process.

[0005] The technical scheme of the utility model is: an automatic operation device for driving a high-power electromagnetic iron remover through an electric hoist, comprising an electromagnetic iron remover, a controller and an electric hoist, a hoisting system of the electric hoist being connected with the controller through an automatic control system, the controller being connected with a manual control system in parallel, and the manual control system and the automatic control system being convertibly connected; the electric hoist being movably arranged on an electric hoist bracket, an iron absorption position induction switch and an iron removal position induction switch being arranged on the electric hoist bracket, the electromagnetic iron remover being connected below the electric hoist, and a weight sensor being arranged between the electric hoist and the electromagnetic iron remover; a circuit of the controller comprising a contactor, a time relay, an induction switch, an auxiliary contact and a button switch, the contactor comprising an iron removal contactor, a main contactor, a trolley left-travel contactor and a trolley right-travel contactor, the time relay comprising a first time relay and a second time relay, the induction switch comprising a first iron absorption position induction switch, a second iron absorption position induction switch, a first iron removal position induction switch and a second iron removal position induction switch, the auxiliary contacts comprising a normally open auxiliary contact and a normally closed auxiliary contact, and the button switch comprising an emergency stop button and a start button.

[0006] Furthermore, the circuit of the controller is a circuit having four branches connected in parallel on the power supply, the first branch is the first auxiliary contact of the main contactor and the main contactor connected in series in sequence, and the first auxiliary contact of the main contactor is connected in series with a start button; the second branch is the second auxiliary contact of the main contactor, the first iron removal position sensing switch, the first iron absorption position sensing switch and the iron remover contactor connected in series in sequence, the normally open auxiliary contact of the trolley left contactor is connected in parallel between the first iron removal position sensing switch and the iron remover contactor, the first time relay and the first time relay auxiliary contact connected in series in sequence, the normally closed auxiliary contact of the trolley right contactor, and the left contactor of the trolley are respectively connected in parallel between the first iron removal position sensing switch and the power supply; the third branch is the second time relay auxiliary contact, the second iron absorption position sensing switch, the normally closed auxiliary contact of the trolley left contactor and the trolley right contactor connected in series in sequence; the fourth branch is the second iron removal position sensing switch and the second time relay connected in series in sequence, and an insurance and an emergency stop button are also connected in series between the power supply and the parallel branches.

[0007] Furthermore, the controller model is S7-200PLC.

[0008] Furthermore, the iron absorption position sensing switch and the iron removal position sensing switch are spring limit switches.

[0009] Furthermore, the electric hoist lifting system is a winch lifting system.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the automatic suction and discharge process of the electric hoist carrying a high-power electromagnetic iron remover is realized through the controller, the original manual system is retained, and an automatic operation system is added, which can realize the free conversion between automatic and manual modes. The automatic operation mode has a reliable mechanical limit and automatic judgment timing system, which further reduces the workload of on-site operators, avoids the problem of excessive iron content in crushed materials due to untimely operation, and ensures the process production requirements of materials.

[0011] The utility model connects various limit protection signals, manual control signals, and automatic / manual conversion signals in the controller, realizes that all control instructions are output synchronously by the PLC, and achieves complete physical isolation of control signals, output signals, execution signals, and execution voltages, which not only ensures the safety of personnel during operation, but also ensures the hierarchical protection of equipment.

[0012] The control program of the utility model has clearer running logic, and the priority running level is manual. When the system is switched to manual state, it is assumed that inspection, maintenance and debugging work is being carried out, and the automatic iron removal system will not be triggered at this time; the second priority is the iron removal weight. If the iron removal weight reaches the limit value, the system will automatically lift the iron remover to the specified position, and automatically carry the absorbed iron-containing material to the discharge port to release the material. After the release is completed, it will continue to return to the top of the belt conveyor, and then descend to the specified position to start the electromagnetic iron remover to continue working; the last level is timed iron removal. When the material absorption exceeds the specified time, but the iron removal weight does not reach the set value, the system will automatically perform a round of automatic iron removal and restart a new round of timing to achieve the dual protection of automatic control mode, weight sensing and timing action.

[0013] The control limit selection of the utility model is safer and more reliable. The mechanical spring limit switch is used to solve the swing problem of the high-power electromagnetic iron remover during automatic operation. It has a larger sensing range and stronger flexibility after collision, and can effectively eliminate the confusion of the calculation program caused by the inertial swing when the operation stops. For the control of the rising and falling height of the winch, an electromagnetic induction switch is adopted, which has more sensitive action, more accurate sensing control range and better dustproof effect. For the weight sensing switch, the double-strand steel wire rope fixed end installation method of the lifting weight limiter is adopted, and the sensing weight is converted and measured according to 1 / 2 of the actual weight, and the measurement data is more accurate.

[0014] The internal procedures of the utility model are relatively rigorous and complicated, but the overall installation and debugging are extremely simple, and the original equipment can be fully utilized. Only some limit sensors and control switches need to be added. The overall production cost is low, and the effect is good after on-site use, which effectively reduces the labor intensity of on-site operators and improves the iron removal efficiency of the crushing system.

[0015] The controller uses S7-200PLC, which has the advantages of lower price and higher stability. It also has extremely high reliability, extremely rich instruction set, easy to master, convenient operation, rich built-in integrated functions, real-time characteristics, strong communication capabilities, and rich expansion modules, so it has a very high performance / price ratio.

[0016] The mechanical spring limit switch is selected, which has the advantages of larger sensing range, stronger flexibility after collision, high reliability, good stability, wide applicability and easy maintenance.

[0017] The winch lifting system is selected, which has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, simplicity, speed, space saving, high versatility, compact structure, small size, light weight, large lifting capacity, easy use and transfer, and is more suitable for vertical lifting work scenarios.
