[0002] The production process of prebaked anodes is very complicated. The carbon blocks are transported to the casting table by a conveyor chain, and the anode guide rod at the other end is transported to the casting table by a catenary. When both arrive at the casting table at the same time, the anode assembly will be carried out. During assembly, the anode guide rod will be heated by high temperature, and then directly inserted into the carbon wrist to cast phosphorus pig iron, finally forming an assembled prebaked anode. A complete prebaked anode must be processed in the forming workshop, roasting workshop, and assembly workshop before it can be transported to the electrolysis workshop for electrolysis. The process is extremely cumbersome and the management is complicated.

[0003] Anode assembly is a crucial link in anode quality. Its assembly form and quality are directly related to assembly efficiency and aluminum electrolysis cost. By combining and analyzing the guide rod number and carbon block number through identification technology, each group of anodes can be tracked, helping enterprises improve digital management, further optimize production processes and conduct decision-making analysis to improve efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but they are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] Embodiment of the utility model: a device for identifying the appearance quality of raw anodes for aluminum, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a cabinet is included, which is located above the conveying chain plate in the anode assembly workshop, and a carbon block conveying channel is reserved under the cabinet. A light bracket 1, a camera bracket 2 and a sensor bracket 3 are fixed to the inner wall of the cabinet, and light sources 1-8, cameras 2-4 and sensors are installed on the light bracket 1, the camera bracket 2 and the sensor bracket 3 respectively.

[0023] The cabinet is constructed by aluminum profiles and bolts to form a frame, and the frame is covered with aluminum skin to form a closed space. The light bracket 1, camera bracket 2 and sensor bracket 3 are fixedly installed in the slide groove of the aluminum profile by bolts and angle brackets. This structure can realize the light bracket 1, camera bracket 2 and sensor bracket 3 to move back and forth along the slide groove of the aluminum profile, thereby adjusting the installation position of the light bracket 1, camera bracket 2 and sensor bracket 3.

[0024] The assembled anode carbon block identification device of the utility model is placed above the conveying chain plate of the anode assembly workshop, and a carbon block conveying channel is reserved under the cabinet. The cabinet is composed of two parts: aluminum profile and aluminum skin. Considering that the length, width and height of the carbon block are 1700mm, 660mm and 635mm respectively (the specifications of each factory are different, generally the length, width and height differ by about ±5mm), the length of the aluminum profile is required to be 2000mm during production. In order to ensure that the carbon block can fully enter the cabinet, the width is 660mm, and 20mm is reserved on each side. In order to ensure that the carbon block is neatly transported on the conveying chain plate, a 700mm wide aluminum profile is selected. Since the carbon block is on the conveying chain plate, the chain plate has a ground height of 800mm, plus the 660mm carbon block height, plus the light bracket 1, camera bracket 2, and sensor bracket 3 above the carbon block, we reserved 500mm of space and selected an aluminum profile with a height of 1960mm. The purpose is to ensure that the light bracket 1, camera bracket 2, and sensor bracket 3 can be installed and rotated freely in the cabinet.

[0025] The lighting bracket 1 includes a support base A1-1, which is fixed in the longitudinally arranged aluminum profile slide groove by bolts and angle codes, and the support base A1-1 can be fixed in any position of the aluminum profile slide groove. One end of the transverse support 1-2 is fixed on the support base A1-1, and the other end passes through the first support fixing clamp 1-4, and the first support fixing clamp 1-4 also passes through the longitudinal support 1-3, and the longitudinal support 1-3 is also connected to the second support fixing clamp 1-4, and the second support fixing clamp 1-4 is also connected to the vertical support, and one end of the vertical support is connected to the support base B1-5, and the support base B1-5 is fixedly connected to the light source mounting plate 1-7 through the light source bottom plate 1-6, and the light source mounting plate 1-7 is installed with the light source 1-8. The whole set of lighting bracket 1 has no welding points and is easy to assemble and disassemble. Multiple degrees of freedom can be adjusted between the joints to ensure that the light source 1-8 is in the best position when irradiating on the carbon block.

[0026] The light source bottom plate 1-6 is provided with an arc groove, and the screw passes through the arc groove and is fixedly connected to the light source mounting plate 1-7. Loosening the screw allows the light source mounting plate 1-7 to slide along the arc groove on the light source bottom plate 1-6, and tightening the screw after sliding to the desired position can fix the light source mounting plate 1-7, thereby achieving the pitch adjustment of the light source 1-8.

[0027] The pillar fixing clamp 1-4 is provided with two mutually perpendicular penetration holes, and a clamping screw is provided on each penetration hole of the pillar fixing clamp 1-4. Tightening the clamping screw can lock and fix the pillar inserted into the penetration hole, and loosening the clamping screw can adjust the length of the pillar and the installation position of the pillar fixing clamp 1-4 on the pillar, and can also make the pillar rotate around the penetration hole. The pillar base A1-1 and the pillar base B1-5 are both provided with pillar locking screws, which can fix the ends of the pillars.

[0028] The lighting bracket 1 adopts the mechanical balance theorem for bracket design, and can rotate 360 ​​degrees without dead angles in the front, back, up, down, left and right directions. First, the support base A1-1 is fixed on the aluminum profile, and the horizontal support 1-2 is fixed to one end of the support base A1-1. Then, the two supports (horizontal support 1-2 and longitudinal support 1-3) are fixed by the first support fixing clamp 1-4 to form a cross. The other end of the longitudinal support 1-3 forms a cross cross structure with another vertical support through the second support fixing clamp 1-4. The light source base plate 1-6 is fixed by the support base B1-5, and then the light source 1-8 is fixed on the light source mounting base plate 1-7. In this way, the light source 1-8 can rotate and illuminate in multiple directions.

[0029] The camera bracket 2 includes an L-shaped bottom plate A2-1, which is formed by bending after laser cutting of sheet metal. The bottom plate A2-1 is installed in the slide groove of the horizontally arranged aluminum profile by bolts and angle brackets, and can be adjusted at any position along the slide groove. The bottom plate A2-1 is provided with a mounting groove along its length direction, which can be adjusted up and down along the mounting groove. The bottom plate B2-2 is fixed to the bottom plate A2-1 by bolts, and the L-shaped bottom plate C2-3 is fixed to the bottom plate B2-2. The camera 2-4 is fixed to the bottom plate C2-3. The camera 2-4 can achieve multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment to find the best shooting angle.

[0030] The camera bracket 2 uses an up and down sliding method to adjust the camera 2-4. First, the bottom plate A2-1 is fastened to the aluminum profile by bolts, so that the bottom plate A2-1 can slide left and right on the aluminum profile. Through the installation slot on the bottom plate A2-1, the camera 2-4 can adjust the shooting position up and down, and can also slide left and right through the aluminum profile. Considering the convenience, the entire design is fastened with bolts, which is convenient for installation and disassembly. At the same time, the fastened aluminum profile and camera bracket 2 will not swing loose.

[0031] The bottom plate B2-2 is provided with an arc groove, and the screw passes through the arc groove and is fixedly connected to the bottom plate C2-3. Loosening the screw allows the bottom plate C2-3 to slide along the arc groove on the bottom plate B2-2, and tightening the screw after sliding to the desired position can fix the bottom plate C2-3, thereby achieving the pitch adjustment of the camera 2-4.

[0032] The sensor bracket 3 is formed by bending after laser cutting of sheet metal, and the upper and lower ends are respectively fixed in the upper and lower two transversely arranged aluminum profiles by bolts and angle brackets, and the two sensors are fixed in the slide groove of the sensor bracket 3 by bolts. By adjusting the upper and lower bolts and the bolts in the slide groove, the sensor can be adjusted forward and backward and up and down, which is convenient for adjusting the best position during installation to send shooting signals to the camera 2-4.

[0033] The lighting bracket 1, the camera bracket 2 and the sensor bracket 3 are each provided with multiple sets, which are distributed on both sides of the carbon block conveying channel and on the inner wall of the cabinet at the top, so that multi-directional and multi-angle shooting can be realized to ensure that each area is bright.

The pillar is fixed by pillar fixing 1-4, so that the pillar can be freely extended and retracted in the pillar fixing clamp 1-4. At the same time, the pillar fixing clamp 1-4 can slide freely on the pillar, and the light source 1-8 can be rotated 360 degrees forward and backward, up and down, left and right without dead angles. The pillar base (pillar base A1-1 and pillar base B1-5) provides a stable support for the pillar to ensure that it will not shake.

[0035] The camera bracket 2 structure is fixed to the aluminum profile by bolts at the bottom A2-1, and the camera 2-4 is fixed to the bottom plate C2-3, so that the camera 2-4 can be moved up and down, left and right to take pictures, and the pitch angle can be adjusted.
