Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of graphite electrode production, and particularly relates to a cooling device for a graphite electrode production furnace. Background Art
[0002] Graphite electrode refers to a high-temperature resistant graphite conductive material made from petroleum coke and asphalt coke as aggregates and coal tar as binder, through the process of raw material calcination, crushing and grinding, batching, kneading, molding, roasting, impregnation, graphitization and mechanical processing. During the calcination production process, it needs to enter the production furnace. During the production process of graphite electrodes, the graphite product needs to control its cooling rate through the cooling system to ensure that the product will not crack or deform. By controlling the cooling rate, the thermal stress on the product during the cooling process can be reduced, reducing the cracks and deformation caused by it.
[0003] The products produced in the production furnace are discharged from the furnace. Some of them are cooled during the discharge process. If the heat acts directly on the outer surface of the product, it is easy to cause part of the product to cool down rapidly, making the temperature gradient caused by cooling too large, which can easily lead to the generation of thermal shock cracks and reduce the quality of the product.

[0006] Wherein, the stripping cylinder is fixedly connected to the cooling auxiliary cylinder, and the stripping cylinder is provided with a discharge feeding cavity.
[0007] The auxiliary cooling tube is fixedly connected to the furnace body, and a pre-cooling conveying rack is fixedly connected to one side of the auxiliary cooling tube.
[0008] Wherein, the movable guide frame is slidably connected to the pre-cooling conveying frame, and the movable guide frame is opposite to the conveying cavity.

[0010] Wherein, the stripping cylinder is located outside the furnace body, and the diameter of the discharge feeding cavity is the same as that of the conveying cavity.
[0011] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0012] By providing a stripping assembly including a stripping cylinder, a cooling auxiliary cylinder and a plurality of cooling rings, the produced products can be stripped from the cooling auxiliary cylinder and discharged through the stripping cylinder. When passing through the cooling guiding cavity and under the action of multiple cooling rings, the outer section of the product can be pre-cooled first. Under the action of the moving guiding frame, the moving guiding frame can move within the pre-cooling conveying frame to drive the movement of the product. Thus, as the workpiece moves in the cooling guiding cavity, the cooling of the product can be gradually strengthened, which is beneficial to stripping the workpiece, avoiding too large a temperature gradient caused by direct cooling, which is likely to lead to the generation of thermal shock cracks and reduce the quality of the product.
