Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lifting guidance of the electrode lifting arm of a refining furnace, and particularly relates to a lifting guidance mechanism for a single electrode lifting arm of a refining furnace. Background Art

[0002] The electrode lifting arm is a mechanical device for controlling the up and down movement of the electrode in the refining furnace. The lifting guidance mechanism on the electrode lifting arm ensures that the electrode lifting arm moves along a predetermined straight path during the up and down movement, preventing shaking or deviation.

[0003] As shown in the prior art Figure 1 The outer side of a single electrode lifting arm 1 of a refining furnace includes a vertical left groove 2, a right groove 3, and a vertical plane 4 connecting the left groove 2 and the right groove 3. The left groove 2 includes a vertical first inclined surface 5 and a second inclined surface 6, and the first inclined surface 5 and the second inclined surface 6 form an acute angle that is recessed inward; the right groove 3 includes a vertical third inclined surface 7 and a fourth inclined surface 8, and the third inclined surface 7 and the fourth inclined surface 8 form an acute angle that is recessed inward. The vertical lifting guidance mechanism of the single electrode lifting arm 1 uses two guide wheel assemblies to be installed side by side. The guide wheel group includes a retaining wheel 9 and a support 10. The retaining wheel 9 is rotatably installed on the support 10. The roller surface of the left retaining wheel 9 is attached to the first inclined surface 5, and the roller surface of the right retaining wheel 9 is attached to the fourth inclined surface 8, thereby playing a role in vertical lifting guidance. However, the existing guide wheel assembly has the following disadvantages: only one side of the roller surface of the retaining wheel abuts against an inclined surface of the electrode lifting arm, the guiding contact area is small, the guiding force is large, the electrode lifting arm is prone to shaking during the lifting process of the electrode lifting arm, so that the first inclined surface and the fourth inclined surface are severely rubbed and grooved by the retaining wheel, which is likely to cause damage to the electrode lifting arm. At the same time, the roller surface of the retaining wheel is also easily damaged, and the bearing is easily damaged by impact. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] Aiming at the technical problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a lifting guidance mechanism for a single electrode lifting arm of a refining furnace, which improves the stability during the lifting process of the electrode lifting arm and reduces the probability of grooving.

The special-shaped wheel is provided with a through hole penetrating the center, and the wheel shaft is symmetrically located in the through hole. The bearing is located in the bearing grooves at both ends of the through hole, and the two bearing covers for fixing the bearings are respectively fixed on the left and right end faces of the special-shaped wheel. The two ends of the wheel shaft passing through the central hole of the bearing cover are respectively fixed on the guiding seat.

[0009] As a preference, the guiding seat includes a bottom plate, a support column, and a fixing block. The two support columns are symmetrically fixed on the bottom plate on the left and right; a notch for fixing the end of the wheel shaft is provided on the support column, and a fixing block is installed above the notch.

[0010] As a preference, milling planes are arranged at the front and rear of the end of the wheel shaft located in the notch, and threaded through holes communicating with the notch are provided on the side of the column. By screwing a bolt into the threaded through hole, the bolt abuts against the milling plane to realize fine adjustment of the front and rear displacement of the special-shaped wheel.

[0015] 2. The special-shaped wheel has a first conical surface, a second conical surface, a cylindrical surface, a third conical surface, and a fourth conical surface that perfectly fit five surfaces on the electrode lifting arm, providing five guiding forces, increasing the guiding force area, significantly reducing the shaking of the electrode lifting arm during the lifting process, reducing the risk of surface gnawing, reducing the deformation of the lifting arm, also reducing the impact force on the bearing, and extending the service life of the lifting and guiding mechanism.

[0026] The roller surface of the special-shaped wheel 12 includes a first conical surface 14, a second conical surface 15, a cylindrical surface 16, a third conical surface 17, and a fourth conical surface 18 that are connected in sequence. The first conical surface 14 and the second conical surface 15 form an outwardly convex acute angle, and the third conical surface 17 and the fourth conical surface 18 form an outwardly convex acute angle.

[0027] The lifting and guiding mechanism further includes a bearing 19 and a bearing cover 20. The special-shaped wheel 12 is provided with a through hole penetrating the center. The wheel shaft 13 is symmetrically located in the through hole. The bearing 19 is located in the bearing notches at both ends of the through hole. The bearing 19 is installed in the bearing notches.
