Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electrolytic aluminum technology, and specifically relates to an anode guide rod assembly loading and unloading device. Background Technology

[0002] In the aluminum electrolysis production process, the assembly workshop is mainly used to produce anode assemblies for use in electrolytic cells. An anode assembly consists primarily of two parts: guide rods and aluminum anodes. Guide rods are reusable, while aluminum anodes are consumables and need to be replaced after a certain period of use in the electrolytic cell. During the anode assembly process, some anode guide rod assemblies need to be taken offline for maintenance. The original offline removal device was only suitable for anode assemblies with weld cracks and small amounts of phosphorus iron residue. Due to issues such as weld cracking from explosive welds and phosphorus iron rings not being removed during production, the original design cannot handle these types of anode assemblies when they need to be removed. A forklift equipped with a rod removal device needs to be brought into the site, and the forklift lifting device is used to complete the offline removal operation. This operation requires the coordinated operation of forklifts and overhead cranes, resulting in a small working area, long waiting times for temporary forklift deployment, frequent overlapping operations, reduced work efficiency, and increased safety hazards such as mechanical injuries, falling objects, and vehicle damage.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0024] Before describing the various embodiments of this application in detail, the technical concept of this application is first briefly described: Currently, unloading the anode guide rod and the anode steel claw requires the use of different equipment, making the unloading process cumbersome and inefficient. Therefore, this application provides an anode guide rod assembly loading and unloading device. A steel claw fixing frame and a guide rod fixing frame are simultaneously provided on the base. The steel claw fixing frame and the guide rod fixing frame can work together to fix the anode guide rod with the anode steel claw, achieving simultaneous loading and unloading of both. Alternatively, a guide rod fixing frame can be used to fix a single anode guide rod, achieving its own loading and unloading. Therefore, using the same anode guide rod assembly loading and unloading device can realize the unloading functions of normal anode steel claw assemblies, anode guide rods that have undergone explosive welding, and anode steel claw assemblies with undone phosphorus pig iron. That is, the anode guide rod assembly loading and unloading device integrates multiple functions. The specific principle of the anode guide rod assembly loading and unloading device of this application will be described below with reference to more embodiments.

[0025] Specifically, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the anode guide rod assembly upper and lower line device includes a base 10, a steel claw fixing frame 20, and a guide rod fixing frame 30. The steel claw fixing frame 20 is installed on the base 10 and is used to fix the anode steel claw 40. The guide rod fixing frame 30 is installed on the base 10, and the height of the guide rod fixing frame 30 is higher than the height of the steel claw fixing frame 20. The guide rod fixing frame 30 is used to fix the anode guide rod 50.

[0026] In one or more embodiments, the steel claw fixing bracket 20 includes a first fixing plate 21 and a second fixing plate 22 spaced apart. Both the first fixing plate 21 and the second fixing plate 22 are provided with slots 21a and 22a for fixing the anode steel claw 40. Exemplarily, both the first fixing plate 21 and the second fixing plate 22 are made of 20mm thick steel plates.

[0027] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the slots 21a and 22a include a rectangular slot and a trapezoidal slot that are sequentially away from the base 10. The narrow end of the trapezoidal slot is connected to the rectangular slot, and the wide end of the trapezoidal slot faces upward, which makes it convenient for the anode steel claw 40 to be inserted into the slots 21a and 22a for fixing.

[0028] In one or more embodiments, the guide rod fixing bracket 30 includes a first fixing bracket 31 and a second fixing bracket 32, the second fixing bracket 32 ​​being higher than the first fixing bracket 31. The first fixing bracket 31 is located between the steel claw fixing bracket 20 and the second fixing bracket 32. The second fixing bracket 32 ​​is used to fix a single anode guide rod 50, and the first fixing bracket 31 and the steel claw fixing bracket 20 are used to cooperate in fixing the anode guide rod 50 with an anode steel claw 40. The second fixing bracket 32, the first fixing bracket 31, and the steel claw fixing bracket 20 are arranged in a stepped manner.

[0029] For example, the first fixing frame 31 includes two first support rods 311, two first support arms 312, a first connecting rod 313, and a first locking rod 314. The two first support rods 311 are spaced apart on the base 10, and the two first support arms 312 are correspondingly installed on the top ends of the two first support rods 311. The two ends of the first locking rod 314 are movably connected to the two first support arms 312, and the two ends of the first connecting rod 313 are fixedly connected to the two first support rods 311. For example, the first locking rod 314 may be provided with a pin, and the first support arm 312 may be provided with a hole, into which the pin is movably inserted. The two first support arms 312 and the first locking rod 314 are all located above the steel claw fixing frame 20, and the first connecting rod 313 is connected to the middle of the two first support rods 311. During use, the anode steel claw 40 is inserted into the steel claw fixing frame 20, the anode guide rod 50 is inserted between the two first support arms 312, and then the first locking rod 314 is connected to the first support arm 312 to lock the anode guide rod 50 and prevent the anode guide rod 50 from tipping over.

[0030] In one or more embodiments, the second fixing frame 32 includes two second support rods 321, two second support arms 322, a second connecting rod 323, and a second locking rod 324. The two second support rods 321 are spaced apart on the base 10, and the two second support arms 322 are correspondingly installed on the top ends of the two second support rods 321. The two ends of the second locking rod 324 are movably connected to the two second support arms 322, and the two ends of the second connecting rod 323 are fixedly connected to the two second support rods 321. For example, the second locking rod 324 may be provided with a pin, and the second support arms 322 may be provided with insertion holes, into which the pin is movably inserted. During use, inserting a single anode guide rod 50 between the two second support arms 322, and then connecting the second locking rod 324 to the two second support arms 322, can lock the anode guide rod 50 and prevent it from tipping over.

[0031] For example, there are at least two second connecting rods 323, one of which is fixedly connected at both ends to the top ends of two second support rods 321, and the other is fixedly connected at both ends to the middle of two second support rods 321. This can better prevent the anode guide rod 50 from tipping over.

[0032] The anode guide rod assembly loading and unloading device provided in this embodiment has the following effects:

[0033] (1) Work efficiency is significantly improved: The improved guide rod loading and unloading device can remove all types of guide rods that need maintenance without the need for a forklift. The time required to load and unload one guide rod group before the modification was about 10 minutes, which has been shortened to about 3 minutes.

[0034] (2) Operational safety is guaranteed: The improved anti-tipping hook eliminates the chance of the guide rod tipping over, thus achieving inherent safety.

[0035] (3) The modified loading and unloading device has achieved high efficiency, safety and reduced number of operators.

[0036] The specific embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. Although some embodiments have been shown and described, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications and improvements can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application as defined by the claims and their equivalents, and such modifications and improvements should also be within the protection scope of this application.
