Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of anti-blocking devices, and particularly relates to an anti-blocking device for a material pipe of an electrolytic multifunctional unit. Background Technique

[0002] In the process of aluminum electrolysis production, as a consumable material, the anode needs to be replaced regularly in the electrolytic cell. After replacing the new anode, a certain amount of covering material needs to be supplemented at the new anode. One is to insulate the aluminum electrolytic cell and reduce the heat loss of the electrolytic cell; the other is to prevent the anode from being oxidized during the electrolysis process. There are three common methods for adding covering materials: one is that the operator drives a crane or a multifunctional unit to lift a covering material bag to add the covering material; the second is that the operator drives a crane or a multifunctional unit to lift a feeding box device for the covering material to add the material; the third is that the operator drives a crane or a multifunctional unit to add the covering material through the feeding device of the multifunctional unit itself.

[0003] The first two methods will increase the operating cost, increase the labor intensity of employees, and there are lifting safety risks; with the improvement of the intelligent level of equipment, enterprises mostly use the feeding device of the multifunctional unit itself to add materials. However, when using the feeding device of the unit to add materials, the position of the gate valve at the bottom of the material pipe is often blocked by materials and cannot discharge materials normally. When maintenance personnel deal with this problem, they need to disassemble the material pipe and perform high-altitude operations, which have a large workload and a risk of falling from a height; the processing time is long, which affects the production of the electrolysis workshop. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an anti-blocking device for a material pipe of an electrolytic multifunctional unit to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] An anti-blocking device for a material pipe of an electrolytic multifunctional unit includes a support assembly, a material leveling assembly arranged above the support assembly for driving the materials to fall evenly and dispersedly, and a gas guiding assembly arranged inside the support assembly; the material leveling assembly includes a feeding cylinder, a support frame fixedly arranged at the bottom of the feeding cylinder, a material leveling hopper rotatably arranged at the top of the support frame, and a power supply motor installed below the material leveling hopper.

[0007] Preferably, the support assembly includes a discharge pipe, a storage tank arranged at the top end of the discharge pipe, a gas guide pipe fixedly arranged at the bottom of the storage tank, and a protective shell fixedly arranged at the top end of the gas guide pipe.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. In the present utility model, when the discharge pipe is blocked by materials, the air fan drives the air flow to enter the air guide pipe through the isolation net from the discharge pipe, and the gas flushes the blocked materials out of the discharge pipe. The treatment time is short, reducing the impact on the production of the electrolysis workshop. Compared with the dredging method of blowing the blocked materials with jet air, the situation of aggravating the blockage due to excessive materials will not occur, and the anti-blocking effect is better;

[0014] 2. In the present utility model, by arranging a material leveling hopper in the feeding cylinder, the materials are driven to fall rapidly in all directions, and at the same time, the materials are more evenly distributed at the bottom of the tank, making it not easy to block the discharge pipe.

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , an anti-blocking device for the material pipe of an electrolytic multi-functional unit, which includes a support assembly 1, a material leveling assembly 2 arranged above the support assembly 1 for driving the materials to fall evenly and dispersedly, and a gas guiding assembly 3 arranged inside the support assembly 1.

[0022] In this embodiment: The support assembly 1 includes a discharge pipe 101, a storage tank 102 is arranged at the top of the discharge pipe 101, a gas guide pipe 104 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the storage tank 102, and a protective shell 103 is fixedly arranged at the top of the gas guide pipe 104.

[0023] In this embodiment: The material leveling assembly 2 includes a feed cylinder 201 for guiding the materials to enter. The feed cylinder 201 is in the shape of an inverted funnel. A support frame 203 for supporting rotation is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the feed cylinder 201. A material leveling hopper 202 for driving the materials to fall quickly to prevent blockage is rotatably arranged at the top of the support frame 203. The material leveling hopper 202 is in the shape of an umbrella. The material leveling hopper 202 is connected to the support frame 203 by a bearing. A power supply motor 204 for serving as a power source is connected to the bottom of the material leveling hopper 202 by a flat key. The power supply motor 204 is bolted to the support frame 203. A number of partition blocks 205 for separating the materials are integrally formed on the circumference of the material leveling hopper 202 evenly. The cross section of the partition block 205 is square. During the aluminum electrolysis production process, the covering materials supplemented to the anode enter the inside of the storage tank 102 along the top opening of the feed cylinder 201 and fall on the material leveling hopper 202. The support frame 203 supports the power supply motor 204 to drive the material leveling hopper 202 to rotate, and drives the materials to fall quickly through centrifugal force. The circumferentially evenly arranged partition blocks 205 drive the materials to move in all directions, and finally are evenly stacked at the bottom of the storage tank 102, and are not easy to be blocked.

[0024] In this embodiment: The gas guiding assembly 3 includes a isolation net 301, and a fan 302 is installed inside the isolation net 301. When the discharge pipe 101 is blocked by materials, the fan 302 drives the air flow to enter the gas guide pipe 104 from the discharge pipe 101 through the isolation net 301, and the gas flushes out the blocked materials from the discharge pipe 101.

[0025] Working principle: During the aluminum electrolysis production process, the covering material replenished at the anode enters the interior of the storage tank 102 through the top opening of the feeding cylinder 201 and lands on the material leveling hopper 202. The support frame 203 supports the energy supply motor 204 to drive the material leveling hopper 202 to rotate. The centrifugal force drives the materials to fall rapidly. The partition blocks 205 evenly arranged in a circle drive the materials to move in all directions and finally evenly accumulate at the bottom of the storage tank 102, and it is not easy to be blocked. When the discharge pipe 101 is blocked by materials, the air fan 302 drives the air flow to enter the air guide pipe 104 from the discharge pipe 101 through the isolation net 301. The gas flushes the blocked materials out of the discharge pipe 101. The treatment time is short, which reduces the impact on the production of the electrolysis workshop. Compared with the dredging method of blowing the blocked materials with jet air, the situation where the blockage is aggravated due to excessive materials will not occur, and the anti-blocking effect is better.

[0026] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
