Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of crust breaking devices, in particular to a crust breaking device for automatically opening the edge of an anode in electrolytic aluminum production. Background Technique
[0002] During the production of electrolytic aluminum, the anode in the electrolytic cell will be continuously consumed and needs to be replaced regularly. As the electrolysis process progresses, a hard crust will gradually form around the anode, tightly wrapping the anode. If the crust on the anode surface is not broken, the anode cannot be smoothly pulled out of the electrolytic cell, and it is also difficult to insert a new anode. Therefore, a crust breaking device is needed to break the crust on the anode surface.
[0003] When performing crust breaking, the frame of the crust breaking device is usually installed on the overhead crane, and then the hammer rod is installed on the frame. The overhead crane drives the movement and rotation of the frame to make the hammer rod contact the anode of the electrolytic cell and break the surface crust. When adjusting the position and angle of the hammer rod in the existing crust breaking device, it is usually to synchronously drive the hammer rod by changing the position and angle of the frame. Then, it is difficult for the hammer rod to adjust itself on the frame. Therefore, when the hammer rod strikes the shell, if a small angle or a small range change is required, the entire frame still needs to be synchronously adjusted, and since the frame is large, the adjustment is more troublesome.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying 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.
[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the crust-breaking device for automatically opening the edge of the electrolytic aluminum anode, includes a frame 1 and a hammer rod 2. Two rotating plates 3 are respectively rotatably installed on both sides of the frame 1. When breaking the crust, first, the frame 1 is driven by a crane to move down or translate, so that the hammer rod 2 contacts the surface of the housing of the electrolytic cell anode. Then, by controlling the rotation of the rotating plate 3, the angle of the hammer rod 2 can be adjusted greatly, so as to break the housing surface of the anode.
[0023] It further includes a slide bar 4, a translation block 5, a translation assembly, an up-and-down angle adjustment assembly and a left-and-right angle adjustment assembly. The slide bar 4 is fixedly installed on the frame 1, and the translation block 5 is slidably installed on the slide bar 4. When a small-range adjustment of the position or angle of the hammer rod 2 is required, please refer to Figure 2, first, it is possible to drive the translation of the hammer rod 2 by means of a translation component. The translation component is arranged on the rotating plate 3 and includes a mounting plate 6, a screw rod 7, a first motor 8 and a driving block 9. There are two mounting plates 6, and the two mounting plates 6 are respectively fixedly installed on the two rotating plates 3. The screw rod 7 is rotatably installed between the two mounting plates 6. The first motor 8 is installed on the side of one of the mounting plates 6, and the output end of the first motor 8 is coaxially connected to the screw rod 7. The driving block 9 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 7, and the bottom end of the driving block 9 is fixedly connected to the top end of the translation block 5. By starting the first motor 8, the output end of the first motor 8 drives the screw rod 7 to rotate between the two mounting plates 6, so that the driving block 9 moves on the screw rod 7, and at the same time drives the translation block 5 to translate on the sliding rod 4. The translation block 5 drives the up-and-down angle adjustment component and the left-and-right angle adjustment component to move synchronously, thereby driving the hammer rod 2 to perform a small-range position movement in the horizontal direction of the sliding rod 4.
[0024] Please refer to Figures 3 to 4 , when angle adjustment is required, it can be achieved through the up-and-down angle adjustment component and the left-and-right angle adjustment component. The up-and-down angle adjustment component is arranged on the translation block 5 and is used to drive the hammer rod 2 to swing up and down. The left-and-right angle adjustment component is arranged on the up-and-down angle adjustment component and is used to drive the hammer rod 2 to rotate left and right. The up-and-down angle adjustment component includes a connecting plate 10, a rotating shaft 11 and a second motor 12. There are two connecting plates 10, and the two connecting plates 10 are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the translation block 5. The rotating shaft 11 is rotatably installed between the two connecting plates 10. The second motor 12 is installed on the side of one of the connecting plates 10, and the output end of the second motor 12 is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 11. The left-and-right angle adjustment component includes a fixed frame 13, a fixing plate 14, a rotating ring 15, a rotating plate 16 and a third motor 17. There are two fixed frames 13, and the two fixed frames 13 are both fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 11. The fixing plate 14 is fixedly installed between the two fixed frames 13. The rotating ring 15 is fixedly installed on the two fixed frames 13 through a connecting frame, and a circular chute is provided on the inner side wall of the rotating ring 15. The rotating plate 16 is slidably installed in the circular chute of the rotating ring 15, and the hammer rod 2 is fixedly installed on the side of the rotating plate 16. The third motor 17 is installed on the fixing plate 14, and the output end of the third motor 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating plate 16.
[0025] Specifically, by starting the second motor 12, the output end of the second motor 12 drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate. The rotating shaft 11 drives the fixed frame 13 to rotate up and down. The fixed frame 13 drives the rotating ring 15 to rotate up and down. The hammer rod 2 is fixedly installed on the rotating plate 16, thereby driving the hammer rod 2 to adjust the angle up and down. Moreover, by starting the third motor 17, the output end of the third motor 17 is fixedly connected to the center of the rotating plate 16. Therefore, the output end of the third motor 17 can drive the rotating plate 16 to rotate within the circular chute of the rotating ring 15, and the rotating plate 16 drives the hammer rod 2 to rotate, so as to realize the rotation of the hammer rod 2 left and right and adjust the angle in the left and right directions.
[0026] The sides of the mounting plate 6, the connecting plate 10 and the fixing plate 14 can be detachably installed with magnetic shielding covers 18, and the first motor 8, the second motor 12 and the third motor 17 are all located inside the magnetic shielding covers 18. In the electrolytic cell, a direct current will pass through parts such as the anode or the cathode, generating a strong magnetic field, and the magnetic field is likely to affect the use of the motor. Therefore, magnetic shielding covers 18 are installed outside the first motor 8, the second motor 12 and the third motor 17 to protect the first motor 8, the second motor 12 and the third motor 17 to operate normally through the magnetic shielding covers 18.
[0027] Working principle: When the crust breaking device for automatically opening the edge of the electrolytic aluminum anode is performing crust breaking, the frame 1 and the hammer rod 2 are moved to the shell by the overhead crane for crushing. When it is necessary to finely adjust the position of the hammer rod 2, start the first motor 8. The first motor 8 drives the screw rod 7 to rotate, so that the driving block 9 moves on the screw rod 7, and at the same time drives the translation block 5 to move left and right on the sliding rod 4, thereby driving the hammer rod 2 to move a small range left and right. When adjusting the angle, start the second motor 12. The output end of the second motor 12 drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate between the two connecting plates 10, thereby driving the fixed frame 13 to rotate synchronously. The fixed frame 13 drives the rotating ring 15 to rotate up and down, so that the hammer rod 2 synchronously adjusts the angle up and down. Moreover, the third motor 17 can be started. The output end of the third motor 17 drives the rotating plate 16 to rotate within the circular chute of the rotating ring 15. The rotating plate 16 drives the hammer rod 2 to rotate around the center of the rotating ring 15, and can rotate a small angle left and right during rotation to adjust the angle of the hammer rod 2 left and right. Therefore, after the frame 1 drives the hammer rod 2 to move a large range and contacts several electrolytic cells, when the shell of the anode of one of the electrolytic cells needs to be broken, small-angle adjustment and small-range movement can be performed above, so as to achieve precise crushing.
