[0002] In the process of processing the anode scraps returned from electrolysis in the aluminum electrolysis anode assembly process, the anode scraps need to be sent to a pressing machine for pressing. Before pressing, they need to be inspected in order to select the large-sized anode scraps. Offline inspection is affected by many factors such as the degree of material burial, the flatness of the bottom of the anode scraps, the deformation size of the tray, etc., and it is impossible to accurately detect and identify all the anode scraps with a thickness greater than 300 mm.
[0003] Online manual visual identification is affected by factors such as personnel, skills, and experience, and often leads to misjudgment, which results in the inability of the residual pole to enter the residual pole press offline machine and must be removed from the chain for processing, or the residual pole cannot be crushed after entering the residual pole press offline machine, causing a certain degree of damage to the tools, catenary and other equipment. At the same time, in this process, the automatic operation of the equipment frequently fails, and manual operation is required, which is extremely inefficient and affects production efficiency. Therefore, a device that can efficiently and automatically identify large-sized residual poles can be designed. Utility Model Content

[0026] Example
[0027] The following is further described in conjunction with specific embodiments. Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 As shown, the online height measuring device for aluminum electrolysis residual electrodes of this embodiment includes a base plate 11, a bracket 12 arranged on the base plate 11, a slide plate 21 arranged on the bracket 12, a shell 31 arranged on the side of the slide plate 21, a distance measuring device 32 arranged in the shell 31, a push plate 33 arranged at the distance measuring device 32, a driving device for driving the push plate 33 to move in a direction perpendicular to the length of the slide plate 21, and a pair of conveyor belts 14 respectively arranged at both ends of the slide plate 21; one end of the shell 31 close to the push plate 33 is an open end, and the other end is a sealed end; the distance measuring device 32 is arranged horizontally and toward the opening side of the shell 31; the slide plate 21 is inclined. Specifically, one of the conveyor belts 14 is used to send the residual pole to the height of the slide plate 21. The residual pole slides on the slide plate 21 and is detected by the distance measuring device 32 when passing the distance measuring device 32 of the shell 31. Since the distance measuring device 32 is set at a high place, when the height of the residual pole is high, the distance measuring device 32 can detect the residual pole. At this time, the value measured by the distance measuring device 32 suddenly becomes smaller (when the higher residual pole is not detected, the value of the distance measuring device 32 remains unchanged). At this time, the driving device is used to drive the push plate 33 to move quickly to push the higher residual pole from the slide plate 21. The pushed residual pole can be handled by the worker alone. In this way, the higher residual pole can be removed efficiently and automatically to avoid affecting the subsequent operation of the press offline machine. The distance measuring device 32 can be a common laser type or infrared type.
[0028] In this embodiment, baffles 22 are provided on both sides of the slide plate 21, and the housing 31 is connected to one of the baffles 22; the baffle 22 away from the housing 31 is provided with a through hole 24; the through hole 24 is provided close to the push plate 33. Specifically, the baffles 22 can prevent the residual poles from falling off the slide plate 21.
[0029] The driving device in this embodiment includes a cylinder 34 disposed on both sides of the housing 31, and a telescopic rod of the cylinder 34 is fixedly connected to the push plate 33. Specifically, the cylinder 34 moves faster and can quickly push out the high-height butts.
[0030] In this embodiment, a clamping groove 27 is provided on one side of the baffle plate 22 close to the push plate 33, and the push plate 33 is clamped in the clamping groove 27. Specifically, the push plate 33 can be completely embedded in the baffle plate 22, and will not affect the normal flow of the residual pole.
[0031] In this embodiment, a sealing device is further included, which is arranged at one end of the housing 31 near the slide plate 21; the sealing device is used to cover the open end of the housing 31. The sealing device includes a sealing plate 35 hinged to the upper end of the open end of the housing 31, and an electric push rod 36 rotatably connected to the side of the sealing plate 35; the electric push rod 36 is hinged to the side of the housing 31. Specifically, when the device is not in operation, the sealing plate 35 can be used to block the open end of the housing 31 to prevent dust from entering and affecting the accuracy of the distance measuring device 32.
[0032] In this embodiment, a rotating shaft 13 is provided at the upper end of the bracket 12, and the middle part of the slide plate 21 is rotatably connected to the bracket 12 through the rotating shaft 13; pressure sensing devices are provided at the lower sides of both ends of the slide plate 21. The pressure sensing device includes a pressure block 41 fixedly provided at the lower end of the slide plate 21, a pressure rod 42 vertically provided just below the pressure block 41, a sleeve 43 sleeved on the outer wall of the pressure rod 42, a spring 44 provided at the lower end of the pressure rod 42, and a pressure sensor 45 provided at the lower end of the spring 44; the lower end of the sleeve 43 is a sealed end; the lower end of the sleeve 43 is connected to the bottom plate 11; the pressure sensor 45 is connected to the electric push rod 36. Specifically, the sealing plate 35 can be automatically opened and closed by a pressure sensing device. Specifically, as long as there is a residual pole on the slide plate 21, no matter where the residual pole is, it will squeeze the slide plate 21, and thus will exert pressure on one or both of the two pressure sensors 45 (the residual pole with a higher height has a greater weight and exerts greater pressure on the slide plate 21). At this time, it can be determined that the slide plate 21 is in operation, so the sealing plate 35 is open and the distance measuring device 32 is in working condition; when the values of the two pressure sensors 45 are both lower than the preset values, it can be determined that they are not in working condition at this time, the sealing plate 35 is closed, and the distance measuring device 32 is in sleep condition. This process can be achieved only through the pressure sensor 45 and the corresponding switch.
[0033] The slide plate 21 in this embodiment is provided with a plurality of dust suction holes 23 near the push plate 33, and a dust suction cover 25 is provided on the lower side of the slide plate 21. The dust suction cover 25 is connected to a negative pressure pipe 26, and the negative pressure pipe 26 is connected to a negative pressure machine; the dust suction cover 25 is provided at the dust suction hole 23. Specifically, the dust generated by the residual anode during the sliding process on the slide plate 21 can be well sucked away by the negative pressure machine, the negative pressure pipe 26, the dust suction cover 25 and the dust suction hole 23.
[0034] In summary, the online height measuring device for aluminum electrolysis residual poles of this embodiment uses one of the conveyor belts 14 to deliver the residual poles to the height of the slide 21. The residual poles slide smoothly on the slide 21. When passing through the distance measuring device 32 of the shell 31, they will be detected by the distance measuring device 32. Since the distance measuring device 32 is set at a high place, when the height of the residual pole is high, the distance measuring device 32 can detect the residual pole. At this time, the value measured by the distance measuring device 32 suddenly becomes smaller (when the higher residual pole is not detected, the value of the distance measuring device 32 remains unchanged). At this time, the driving device is used to drive the push plate 33 to move quickly, and the higher residual pole is pushed out from the slide 21. The pushed residual pole can be handled by the worker alone. In this way, the higher residual poles can be removed efficiently and automatically to avoid affecting the subsequent work of the press offline machine.
[0035] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
