Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cathode carbon block conveying devices for aluminum, in particular to an aluminum cathode carbon block lifting machine. Background Art

[0002] Cathode carbon blocks for aluminum are an important component of aluminum electrolytic cells. They are made of high-quality anthracite, coke, graphite, etc., and are made through processes such as calcination, batching, kneading, pressing, and roasting. Cathode carbon blocks for aluminum refer to carbon blocks used as cathodes in aluminum electrolytic cells, and are often called bottom carbon blocks. In the process of aluminum electrolysis, cathode carbon blocks play a dual role of conducting electricity and forming the lining of the electrolytic cell. They are not only a conductor for electrons to enter the electrolytic cell, but also withstand harsh environments such as high temperature, strong magnetic field, and highly corrosive electrolytes. They are key factors in the stable operation and energy saving and consumption reduction of aluminum electrolytic cells. With the continuous advancement of aluminum electrolysis technology and the increasing requirements for environmental protection, cathode carbon blocks for aluminum will develop towards higher quality, longer life, and lower energy consumption. At present, people on the market often use aluminum cathode carbon block lifters when processing cathode carbon blocks for aluminum.

[0003] However, in the prior art, aluminum cathode carbon blocks are typically large and heavy. The contact area between the lifting plate and the aluminum cathode carbon blocks is relatively limited, especially without a specially designed fixture or clamp. This limited contact area can cause the cathode carbon blocks to lose balance and fall due to vibration, jolts, or external forces during lifting or movement. Furthermore, during transportation, the aluminum cathode carbon blocks have inertia due to their heavy weight, making them prone to sliding forward. Therefore, developing a new type of lifter for aluminum cathode carbon blocks has become an urgent issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a cathode carbon block lifting machine for aluminum to solve the above technical problems.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] The utility model provides a cathode carbon block lifting machine for aluminum, comprising a frame, a lifting assembly, a lifting plate and a protective assembly, wherein the lifting assembly is slidably arranged on the frame, the lifting plate is liftably arranged on the lifting assembly, and the lifting plate is provided with a protective assembly that cooperates with the cathode carbon block for aluminum; the protective assembly comprises a baffle, a mounting frame and a placement plate, the baffle is arranged on the front end of the lifting plate by fixing bolts, a mounting groove is provided on the upper surface of the lifting plate, a mounting frame is slidably provided in the mounting groove, the front end surface of the mounting frame cooperates with the mounting groove on the lifting plate by a side spring, and the upper surface of the mounting frame is provided with a placement plate by a supporting spring.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper surface of the placement plate cooperates with the lower surface of the cathode carbon block for aluminum; the rear end surface of the baffle cooperates with the front end surface of the cathode carbon block for aluminum.

[0008] Furthermore, a carbon block conveyor is provided at the front end of the frame, and the lifting plate cooperates with the aluminum cathode carbon blocks on the carbon block conveyor.

[0009] Furthermore, a first lead screw is provided on the frame, and the first lead screw is driven by a first motor.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a vertical frame and a movable frame, the vertical frame is fixedly arranged on the movable frame, a movable sleeve is fixedly arranged on the bottom end of the movable frame, and the movable sleeve is threadedly engaged with the first screw.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper surface of the frame is provided with a guide rail, and the bottom surface of the movable frame is provided with a slider that cooperates with the guide rail of the frame.

[0012] Furthermore, a second lead screw is provided on the vertical frame, and a lifting plate is provided inside the vertical frame. The lifting plate is threadedly engaged with the second lead screw, and the left and right ends of the lifting plate are slidingly engaged with the vertical frame. A second motor for driving the second lead screw is provided at the top of the vertical frame.

[0013] Furthermore, a plurality of support springs are evenly distributed within the mounting frame.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are:

[0015] The front end of the lifting plate of the aluminum cathode carbon block lifter of the present invention is provided with a baffle. Since the baffle protrudes from the lifting plate, the rear end face of the baffle can cooperate with the front end face of the aluminum cathode carbon block, effectively preventing the aluminum cathode carbon block from sliding forward under the action of inertia and then sliding off the front end of the lifting plate. The placement plate of the aluminum cathode carbon block lifter of the present invention increases the friction with the bottom surface of the aluminum cathode carbon block under the action of the support spring, and reduces the influence of inertia under the action of the side spring. The lifting plate of the aluminum cathode carbon block lifter of the present invention can move forward and backward under the left and right of the movable lower frame, and can move up and down under the action of the vertical frame, so as to facilitate cooperation with the carbon block conveyor. In general, the aluminum cathode carbon block lifter of the present invention has an ingenious design, practical functions, and a simple structure. It effectively solves the problem that the aluminum cathode carbon block is easy to slide forward under the action of inertia and then slide off the front end of the lifting plate.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a cathode carbon block lifting machine for aluminum includes a frame 1, a carbon block conveyor 2, a lifting component 3, a lifting plate 4 and a protective component 5.

[0023] A carbon block conveyor 2 is provided at the front end of the frame 1 , a lifting assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1 , a lifting plate 4 is provided on the lifting assembly 3 , and a protective assembly 5 is provided inside the lifting plate 4 .

[0024] The protective assembly 5 includes a baffle 501, a mounting frame 504, and a placement plate 506. Fixing bolts 502 are provided on the outer wall of the baffle 501, which secure the baffle 501 to the lifting plate 4 via the fixing bolts 502. Specifically, one end of the fixing bolt 502 passes through the baffle 501 and connects to the lifting plate 4, facilitating installation of the fixing bolt 502 and enabling the fixing bolt 502 to secure the baffle 501 to the front end of the lifting plate 4. Thus, the baffle 501 can block and limit the position of the aluminum cathode carbon blocks on the lifting plate 4.

[0025] A side spring 503 is fixedly connected to the interior of the lifting plate 4, one end of which is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 504. The lifting plate 4 forms an elastic structure with the mounting frame 504 in the mounting groove through the side spring 503. The side spring 503 is arranged between the mounting groove of the lifting plate 4 and the mounting frame 504, strengthening the connection between the lifting plate 4 and the side spring 503, so that the side spring 503 can rely on the mounting groove of the lifting plate 4 to support and limit the mounting frame 504. A support spring 505 is fixedly connected to the interior of the mounting frame 504, and the top of the support spring 505 is fixedly connected to the placement plate 506. The mounting frame 504 forms a support structure with the support spring 505 and the placement plate 506. There are multiple support springs 505, and the multiple support springs 505 are evenly spaced between the mounting frame 504 and the placement plate 506, strengthening the connection between the mounting frame 504 and the support spring 505, so that the multiple support springs 505 can rely on the mounting frame 504 to support the placement plate 506.

[0026] When the lifting plate 4 contacts the aluminum cathode carbon block, the placement plate 506 abuts against the lower surface of the aluminum cathode carbon block. Supported by the multiple support springs 505 at the bottom of the placement plate 506, the placement plate 506 supports the aluminum cathode carbon block. Furthermore, during movement, the side springs 503 support the aluminum cathode carbon block, reducing the effects of inertia. The baffle 501 further limits the aluminum cathode carbon block, effectively preventing it from sliding forward due to inertia and subsequently falling off the front end of the lifting plate 4.

[0027] Specifically, the lifting assembly 3 includes a first motor 301, the output shaft of the first motor 301 is fixedly connected to the first screw 302 through a coupling, the outer wall of the first screw 302 is threadedly connected to the movable sleeve 303, and the top of the movable sleeve 303 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 304. The first motor 301 forms a movable structure with the movable frame 304 through the first screw 302, and one end of the first screw 302 is threaded through the movable sleeve 303 for connection, which strengthens the connection effect between the first motor 301 and the first screw 302, so that the first motor 301 can drive the first screw 302 to rotate in the movable sleeve 303, so that the movable frame 304 can be driven to move back and forth.

[0028] The top of the mobile frame 304 is fixedly connected to the vertical frame 305, and the top of the vertical frame 305 is fixedly connected to the second motor 306. The output shaft of the second motor 306 is fixedly connected to the second lead screw 307 via a coupling. The outer wall of the second lead screw 307 is threadedly connected to the lifting plate 308. The second motor 306 and the lifting plate 308 form a lifting structure through the second lead screw 307. The top end of the second lead screw 307 is connected to the output end of the second motor 306, and the bottom end of the second lead screw 307 passes through the lifting plate 308 and is connected, thereby strengthening the connection effect between the second motor 306 and the second lead screw 307. This allows the second motor 306 to drive the second lead screw 307 to rotate within the lifting plate 308, so that the height of the lifting plate 308 can be adjusted.

[0029] The action process of this utility model is as follows:

[0030] The carbon blocks can be transported to the appropriate position by means of the carbon block conveyor 2; at this time, by starting the second motor 306, the second motor 306 can drive the second screw 307 to rotate, so that the second screw 307 can rotate in the lifting plate 308, so that the lifting plate 308 can move downward; at this time, by starting the first motor 301, the first motor 301 can drive the first screw 302 to rotate, so that the first screw 302 can rotate in the movable sleeve 303 in the movable frame 304, so that the movable frame 304 can drive the entire lifting plate 4 to move forward and extend into the carbon block conveyor 2, and rely on the lifting plate 308 to drive the lifting plate 4 to lift the aluminum cathode carbon block downward and transport it to the appropriate position.

[0031] Furthermore, when the lifting plate 4 is about to contact the aluminum cathode carbon block, the placement plate 506 engages the bottom of the aluminum cathode carbon block. Supported by the multiple support springs 505 at the bottom of the placement plate 506, the placement plate 506 supports the aluminum cathode carbon block. During movement of the equipment, the support of the side springs 503 reduces the effects of inertia. The baffle 501 further limits the aluminum cathode carbon block, effectively preventing it from sliding forward due to inertia and subsequently falling off the front end of the lifting plate 4.

[0032] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements to the technical solutions of the present invention made by ordinary technicians in this field should fall within the scope of protection determined by the claims of the present invention.
