Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of mechanical processing equipment, and in particular relates to an external clamping type graphite electrode salvaging clamp. Background Art
[0002] In the production of steelmaking refining furnaces, the consumption of graphite electrodes includes burning and peeling under normal conditions, as well as abnormal electrode breakage. The breakage of graphite electrodes is mainly caused by the breakage of weak points such as electrode joints under the action of various mechanical forces. Once the electrode breaks, one or even several electrodes will be directly scrapped, resulting in huge losses. At the same time, when the electrode breaks, it is very difficult to handle, which increases the labor intensity of the staff and even interrupts production. What's more, improper handling may cause casualties. After the electrode breaks, the electrode on the lower side of the joint falls into the molten steel in the ladle, and the upper part leans against the refining furnace cover. The ladle car cannot be driven out of the work station. The operator needs to go up to the top of the refining furnace cover, pass the graphite electrode with an iron chain, and then use the overhead crane to lift the broken electrode out of the ladle. The safety risk is extremely high and the disposal process is cumbersome, which affects the production rhythm. Utility Model Content
