Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electrolytic aluminum auxiliary equipment, and specifically relates to a welding structure and a tightening and loosening device. Background Technique

[0002] In the electrolytic aluminum process, the anode busbar is connected to the guide rod through an anode clamp. The anode clamp is fixed on the anode busbar, and the anode clamp presses the guide rod against the anode busbar. The guide rod extends into the electrolytic cell. During the electrolysis process, the anode material on the guide rod will be gradually consumed. To ensure the continuous progress of electrolysis, the guide rod will gradually move downward to compensate for this electrolytic consumption. During the gradual downward movement of the guide rod, the anode busbar follows the guide rod downward. When the anode busbar moves downward a certain distance, it is necessary to lift the anode busbar upward relative to the guide rod, and a busbar lifting frame is used to lift the anode busbar.

[0003] Before lifting, the screw rod of the anode clamp needs to be loosened first. A tightening and loosening device is provided on the busbar lifting frame, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown. The tightening and loosening device includes a rotary driving device 10, a transmission outer sleeve 20, a transmission inner sleeve 30, a transmission shaft 40, an annular sleeve 50 and a wrench head 60. The transmission inner sleeve 30 is arranged inside one end of the transmission outer sleeve 20. One end of the transmission shaft 40 is inserted into the transmission inner sleeve 30 and is arranged in the transmission outer sleeve 20 in a vertically telescopic manner. The other end of the transmission shaft 40 is connected to the wrench head 60 through the annular sleeve 50. The rotary driving device 10 can drive the transmission shaft 40 and the wrench head 60 to rotate forward or backward through the transmission outer sleeve 20 and the transmission inner sleeve 30.

[0004] The torque for tightening or loosening the wrench head 60 is usually 400 - 600 Nm. Currently, the transmission inner sleeve 30 and the transmission outer sleeve 20 are generally fixed by welding. The welding point a is arranged between the outer peripheral wall of the transmission inner sleeve 30 and the end face of the transmission outer sleeve 20, as Figure 2 shown. Adopting this welding method, not only the welding strength fails to meet the user's usage requirements, but also the welding point a is prone to cracking after long-term operation, which not only directly affects the working efficiency of the busbar lifting frame, but may also lead to safety accidents in severe cases.

[0008] It can be seen from the above scheme that by arranging a metal filler between the transmission outer sleeve and the transmission inner sleeve, then heating and melting the metal filler to make it flow, and then reconnecting it tightly with the transmission outer sleeve and the transmission inner sleeve after it cools down, it is beneficial to improve the welding strength and torque of the two, and ensure that the welding point of the two will not crack even under the action of a large torque.

[0023] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. Detailed Embodiment

[0024] The first embodiment of the welding structure:

[0025] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 . A welding structure provided in this embodiment is mainly applied to the tensioning device of the anode clamp. The welding structure includes a transmission outer sleeve 1 and a transmission inner sleeve 2. The transmission inner sleeve 2 is arranged inside the transmission outer sleeve 1. The transmission outer sleeve 1 can drive the transmission inner sleeve 2 to rotate around its axis. In this embodiment, both the transmission outer sleeve 1 and the transmission inner sleeve 2 are made of metal materials. Preferably, the transmission outer sleeve 1 is a steel pipe, and the transmission inner sleeve 2 is an internal hexagonal sleeve.

[0026] A through hole 11 is formed in the transmission outer sleeve 1. The through hole 11 communicates with the inside and outside of the transmission outer sleeve 1. Preferably, the through hole 11 extends along the radial direction of the transmission outer sleeve 1 and penetrates the single-side wall thickness of the transmission outer sleeve 1. A groove 21 is formed in the transmission inner sleeve 2. The groove 21 is recessed in the outer peripheral wall of the transmission inner sleeve 2. The groove 21 communicates with the through hole 11. The through hole 11 and the groove 21 are filled with a metal filler 3a that can be used for welding. After being heated by a heat source, the metal filler 3a melts and flows in the through hole 11 and the groove 21, so that it can better contact the transmission outer sleeve 1 and the transmission inner sleeve 2. After cooling, it can be tightly connected to the transmission outer sleeve 1 and the transmission inner sleeve 2. The transmission outer sleeve 1 and the transmission inner sleeve 2 are welded together through the metal filler 3a.

[0027] A polygon hole 22 is axially and penetratingly formed in the inner side of the transmission inner sleeve 2. The polygon hole 22 can be a triangle, a quadrilateral, a pentagon, a hexagon, etc. In this embodiment, a hexagon hole is taken as an example. The groove 21 is arranged corresponding to the side of the polygon hole 22. A preset distance is provided between the bottom of the groove 21 and the side of the polygon hole 22, and the preset distance is such that it will not communicate with the polygon hole 22. In this embodiment, in the radial direction, the depth of the groove 21 is less than or equal to two-thirds of the thickness from the outer peripheral wall of the transmission inner sleeve 2 to the side of the polygon hole 22. That is, the depth of the groove 21 is L1, and the thickness from the outer peripheral wall of the transmission inner sleeve 2 to the side of the polygon hole 22 is L2, L1≤2 / 3L2. Preferably, L1 = 1 / 2L2.

[0028] In order to further improve the welding strength of the two, the number of the through holes 11 is set to be more than two. In this embodiment, three through holes 11 are taken as an example, and the three through holes 11 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the transmission outer sleeve 1. The number of the grooves 21 is equal to the number of the through holes 11, and the grooves 21 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the through holes 11.

[0029] After welding, the surface of the metal filler 3a is smoothly transitioned with the surface of the transmission outer sleeve 1. In this embodiment, an arc surface part is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the transmission outer sleeve 1. The arc surface part coincides with the outer peripheral wall of the transmission outer sleeve 1. The through holes 11 are arranged on the arc surface part. The surface of the metal filler 3a is an arc surface, and the arc surface is flush with the outer peripheral wall of the transmission outer sleeve 1.

The flat surface part 13 is slightly recessed from the outer peripheral wall of the transmission outer sleeve 1. The four sides of the flat surface part 13 are smoothly transitioned with the outer peripheral wall of the transmission outer sleeve 1. The through holes 11 are arranged on the flat surface part 13. The surface of the metal filler 3b is a flat surface, and the flat surface is flush with the flat surface part 13. The setting of the flat surface part 13 is beneficial to facilitating drilling on the transmission outer sleeve 1 and improving the accuracy of the drilling position.
