Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of carbon electrode production, in particular to an electrode cooling conveyor. Background Technique

[0002] Carbon electrodes are carbonaceous conductive materials mainly made of electrically calcined anthracite, petroleum coke, graphite fragments, coal tar pitch, etc., and are formed by batching, molding, roasting, and machining. The conductive electrodes for submerged arc furnaces can be widely used in the smelting processes of industrial silicon, ferroalloys, calcium carbide, yellow phosphorus and other metals or non-metals. Carbon electrodes are energy-saving and environmentally friendly products. Using them in calcium carbide and ferroalloy submerged arc furnaces can greatly reduce smelting power consumption and reduce pollution. They are the upgraded products of electrode paste; and the carbon electrodes in submerged arc furnaces are very large. Therefore, after the carbon electrodes are produced, they need to be cooled. For such large-sized electrodes, the cooling time is long, and the entire electrode is very inconvenient to move. Therefore, conventional cooling and conveying equipment is obviously inconvenient for cooling them. Content of the Utility Model

[0024] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0025] As Figures 1 - 8As shown in the figure, an electrode cooling conveyor includes a die sleeve assembly 1 for electrode production. At the discharge end of the die sleeve assembly 1, there is a tray assembly 2 for receiving electrodes. Below the tray assembly 2, there is a connecting block trolley assembly 3. Below the connecting block trolley assembly 3, there is a track assembly 13 for facilitating its movement. At one end of the track assembly 13 away from the die sleeve assembly 1, there is a water tank 5 for cooling and reducing the temperature of the electrodes. One end of the water tank 5 has an electrode inlet water level, and the other end has an electrode outlet water level. At the middle position of the track assembly 13 near one end of the water tank 5, there is a tray driving mechanism 6. At the electrode inlet water level, there is a water inlet fishing assembly 4 for transferring the tray assembly 2 on the track assembly 13 into the water tank 5. Above the water tank 5, there is a tray storage rack 8 for placing the idle tray assembly 2. Near the electrode inlet water level above the water tank 5, there is a water inlet positioning assembly 7. Near the electrode outlet water level above the water tank 5, there is an outlet positioning assembly 10. At the electrode outlet water level of the water tank 5, there is a non-powered U-shaped roller conveyor 12 for receiving the cooled electrodes. In front of the non-powered U-shaped roller conveyor 12, there is a push block mechanism 11 for ejecting the electrodes on the tray assembly 2. Between the push block mechanism 11 and the non-powered U-shaped roller conveyor 12, there is a water outlet fishing assembly 9. A total of 49 tray assemblies 2 are placed in the water tank 5, and the 49 tray assemblies 2 are sequentially numbered in ascending order from the water inlet positioning assembly 7 to the electrode outlet water level. The outlet positioning assembly 10 is located above the 48th tray assembly 2 in the water tank 5, and the 49th tray assembly 2 is located at the electrode outlet water level.

[0026] In this embodiment: The tray assembly 2 includes a tray trolley assembly 16. Below the tray trolley assembly 16, there is a column assembly 17. At the lower end of the column assembly 17, there is a tray bottom frame 18 for receiving the electrodes. The tray trolley assembly 16 and the tray bottom frame 18 are connected through the column assembly 17, and then the electrodes are immersed in the water of the water tank 5 for cooling through the column assembly 17 and the tray bottom frame 18.

[0027] In this embodiment: On the side of the track assembly 13, there is a drag chain 14 connecting the connecting block trolley assembly 3. Near the electrode inlet water level of the track assembly 13, there is a connecting block trolley limit assembly 15. The connecting block trolley limit assembly 15 is used to detect the position where the connecting block trolley assembly 3 moves conveniently for the water inlet fishing assembly 4 to lift, and at the same time, the track assembly 13 is used to support the connecting block trolley assembly 3 to facilitate its movement.

[0028] In this embodiment: The underwater salvage assembly 4 includes a lifting assembly 19 for driving the tray assembly 2 to move upward. A clamping assembly 20 for tightly fixing the tray assembly 2 is provided below the lifting assembly 19. And a driving component for driving the whole of the underwater salvage assembly 4 to move is provided at the lower end of the underwater salvage assembly 4. The lifting assembly 19 and the driving component are connected by a steel frame. The structure of the above-water salvage assembly 9 is the same as that of the underwater salvage assembly 4. The driving component at the lower end of the steel frame drives the whole to move on the water tank 5. At the same time, the clamping assembly 20 clamps the tray assembly 2, and the lifting assembly 19 is used to lift the tray assembly 2 and the electrode.

[0029] Working principle: During use, the connecting block trolley assembly 3 drives the tray assembly 2 to move to the corresponding position of the die sleeve assembly 1. Then the die sleeve assembly 1 is flipped 90 degrees, and the produced electrode is pushed onto the tray bottom frame 18 of the tray assembly 2. When the produced electrode is completely pushed onto the tray bottom frame 18, the connecting block trolley assembly 3 drives the tray assembly 2 to move along the track assembly 13 towards the electrode inlet position of the water tank 5.

[0030] When the connecting block trolley assembly 3 moves to the underwater positioning assembly 7, the connecting block trolley assembly 3 stops moving. At this time, the driving component of the underwater salvage assembly 4 drives the whole to move towards the connecting block trolley assembly 3. When the underwater salvage assembly 4 is directly above the connecting block trolley assembly 3, the lifting assembly 19 of the underwater salvage assembly 4 drives the clamping assembly 20 to move downward. When the clamping assembly 20 is located at the upper end of the column assembly 17 of the tray assembly 2, the clamping assembly 20 clamps and fixes the upper end of the column assembly 17 of the tray assembly 2. Then the lifting assembly 19 drives the clamping assembly 20 and the clamped and fixed tray assembly 2 to move upward. At this time, the just-produced electrode will be lifted upward following the tray assembly 2. Immediately, the tray assembly 2 disengages from the connecting block trolley assembly 3. At this time, the driving component of the underwater salvage assembly 4 drives the whole to move towards the electrode inlet position of the water tank 5.

[0031] When the underwater positioning assembly 7 detects that the underwater salvage assembly 4 has moved to the electrode inlet position, the underwater salvage assembly 4 stops moving. At the same time, the lifting assembly 19 drives the clamping assembly 20 and the tray assembly 2 clamped below to move downward. When the tray bottom frame 18 and the electrode on the tray assembly 2 are completely immersed in the water of the water tank 5, the clamping assembly 20 releases the clamping and fixing of the tray assembly 2. Then the lifting assembly 19 drives the clamping assembly 20 to reset. At this time, the tray driving mechanism 6 pushes the tray assembly 2 at the electrode inlet position towards the direction of the electrode outlet position. Immediately, the electrode inlet position is vacated to wait for the arrival of the next tray assembly 2. And the 49 tray assemblies 2 in the water tank 5 will be arranged in sequence for water cooling.

[0032] In addition, after the lifting assembly 19 of the underwater fishing assembly 4 drives the clamping assembly 20 to reset, the underwater fishing assembly 4 moves to the position of the tray storage rack 8 under the action of the driving component, and then the empty tray assembly 2 is lifted by the lifting assembly 19 and the clamping assembly 20. Then, the underwater fishing assembly 4 will move back to the tray driving mechanism 6 and coincide with the connecting block trolley assembly 3, and place the empty tray assembly 2 on the connecting block trolley assembly 3. The connecting block trolley assembly 3 drives the empty tray assembly 2 to move back towards the die sleeve assembly 1 to wait for receiving the next electrode;

[0033] In addition, when the tray driving mechanism 6 pushes the tray assembly 2 at the electrode water inlet position, the 49 tray assemblies 2 in the water tank 5 will move synchronously towards the electrode water outlet position. The tray assembly 2 under the water outlet positioning assembly 10 will enter the electrode water outlet position, and the water outlet positioning assembly 10 positions the next tray assembly 2. At this time, the water outlet fishing assembly 9 will move to the electrode water outlet position to lift the tray assembly 2 that has entered the electrode water outlet position upward and drive it to move. Subsequently, the cooled tray assembly 2 is placed between the pushing block mechanism 11 and the non-powered U-shaped roller conveyor 12 by the water outlet fishing assembly 9. The cooled electrode is pushed out from the tray bottom frame 18 of the tray assembly 2 by the pushing block mechanism 11. The pushed-out electrode is sent out by the non-powered U-shaped roller conveyor 12, and the tray assembly 2 from which the electrode has been pushed out will be placed on the tray storage rack 8 and move to a position close to the electrode water inlet position under the drive of the water outlet fishing assembly 9.

[0034] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed.
