Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and in particular to an anode carbon block positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] The working process of the casting station is as follows: The carbon block conveyor delivers qualified new anode carbon blocks to the front end of the roller conveyor of the casting line. Under the control of the electrical system, the roller conveyor accurately delivers the anode carbon blocks to the mold closing station. At the same time, the overhead conveyor delivers qualified guide rod assemblies to the mold closing station. After the guide rod assemblies and anode carbon blocks arrive at the mold closing station, the positioning mechanism positions the guide rod assemblies and anode carbon blocks respectively. After positioning, the lifting device lifts the anode carbon blocks so that the steel claws accurately insert into the anode carbon blocks, completing the mold closing action. After the mold closing is completed, the roller conveyor pushes the mold-closed guide rod assembly to the casting waiting station. The roller conveyor transports the guide rod assembly from the casting station to the casting station. The positioning mechanism at the casting station positions the guide rods. After positioning, a manual casting trolley accurately pours molten iron from the ladle into the carbon bowl to complete the casting of the guide rod assembly and anode carbon blocks. After casting, the positioning mechanism opens, and the roller conveyor pushes the cast guide rod assembly to the cooling station. After cooling, it is pushed to the online casting station. Once the guide rod assembly reaches the online casting station, the lifting mechanism lowers, causing the overhead conveyor bell to be stressed. After lowering to its final position, the overhead conveyor carries away the finished anode, and then all mechanisms reset to begin the next work cycle. Under the control of mechatronics, the casting station completes the processes of mold closing, casting, cooling, online casting, and waste block disposal for the anode and guide rod assembly.
[0003] The existing guide rod assembly and anode carbon block positioning are mainly accomplished by the positioning guide rod. However, if the anode carbon block does not reach the correct position, it will also cause the guide rod assembly and anode carbon block to fail to close the mold. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0027] To make the technical objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0028] The present invention provides an anode carbon block positioning device including a frame 101, a front and rear positioning mechanism installed on the frame 101 for front and rear positioning of the anode carbon block, and a left and right positioning mechanism installed on the frame 101 for left and right positioning of the anode carbon block, as shown in the figure. The frame 101 is provided with a mold closing station.
[0029] The front and rear positioning mechanism includes a first drive component and front and rear claws disposed on the front and rear sides of the mold closing station. The first drive component is in transmission cooperation with the front and rear claws. The first drive component works to drive the two front and rear claws located on the front and rear sides of the mold closing station to move towards each other or away synchronously, so that the two front and rear claws abut against or release the anode carbon block on the mold closing station.
[0030] The left and right positioning mechanism includes a second drive component and left and right claws disposed on the left and right sides of the mold closing station. The second drive component is in transmission cooperation with the left and right claws. The second drive component works to drive the two left and right claws located on the left and right sides of the mold closing station to move towards each other or away synchronously, so that the two left and right claws abut against or release the anode carbon block on the mold closing station.
[0031] Thus, the front and rear positioning mechanisms and the left and right positioning mechanisms work together to constrain the anode carbon block in the four directions of front, rear, left and right, achieving precise positioning.
[0032] As an optional implementation, the frame 101 is equipped with front and rear positioning roller brackets 1012 located on the left and right sides of the mold closing station. The two front and rear positioning roller brackets 1012 are parallel to each other. Each front and rear positioning roller bracket 1012 includes a roller bracket and rollers spaced apart on the roller bracket. The two front and rear positioning roller brackets 1012 cooperate to guide the movement path of the anode carbon block from one end to the other in the front-rear direction of the frame 101. The first drive assembly includes a front and rear positioning cylinder 102, a front and rear positioning linkage arm 103, and two front and rear positioning linkages. Assembly 104 includes a front and rear positioning cylinder 102 mounted on the frame 101 via front and rear positioning supports. The front and rear positioning cylinder 102 is hinged to the front and rear positioning supports, allowing the cylinder to rotate around its hinge axis with the supports as the rotation centerline. The telescopic end of the front and rear positioning cylinder 102 is hinged to one end of the front and rear positioning linkage arm 103. The front and rear positioning linkage arm 103 is mounted on the frame 101 via a front and rear positioning roller bracket 1012 on the same side. The middle section of the front and rear positioning linkage arm 103 is hinged to the front and rear positioning roller bracket 1012, allowing the cylinder to rotate around its hinge axis with the supports as the rotation centerline. The front and rear positioning link arms 103 are rotatable with their hinge axis with the front and rear positioning roller brackets 1012 as the rotation centerline. Two front and rear positioning link assemblies 104 are located on the front and rear sides of the front and rear positioning link arms 103, respectively. The ends of the two front and rear positioning link assemblies 104 near the front and rear positioning link arms 103 are hinged to the front and rear positioning link arms 103, and the hinge points of the two front and rear positioning link assemblies 104 and the front and rear positioning link arms 103 are located at the hinges where the front and rear positioning link arms 103 are hinged to the front and rear positioning roller brackets 1012. On both sides of the front and rear, the ends of the front and rear positioning link arms 103 of the two front and rear positioning link assemblies 104 are respectively hinged to the front and rear working jaws on their respective adjacent sides. The front and rear working jaws are respectively hinged to the front and rear positioning roller brackets 1012, so that the front and rear positioning cylinders 102 work by pushing the front and rear working jaws to rotate through the two front and rear positioning link assemblies 104 to move closer or further away from each other. Furthermore, in the rotation path of the front and rear working jaws, the two front and rear working jaws can avoid the movement path of the anode carbon block in the relatively far-away direction, so as to avoid the interference of the front and rear working jaws on the normal movement of the anode carbon block.
[0033] The front and rear grippers include front and rear positioning rotating arms 105 and a pulley rotatably disposed at one end of the front and rear positioning rotating arms 105.

[0034] The second drive assembly includes left and right positioning cylinders 106, left and right positioning intermediate rotating arms 107, left and right positioning intermediate rotating shafts 108, left and right positioning connecting rods 109, and left and right positioning connecting rod assemblies 1010. The left and right positioning cylinders 106 are mounted on the frame 101 via left and right positioning supports, and are hinged to the supports. The telescopic end of the left and right positioning cylinders 106 is hinged to one end of the left and right positioning intermediate rotating arms 107, and the other end of the left and right positioning intermediate rotating arms 107 is fixed to the middle of the left and right positioning intermediate rotating shafts 108. The left and right positioning intermediate rotating shafts 108 are rotatably mounted on the frame 101 via bearing seats, so that the positioning cylinders can operate... The mechanism can drive the left and right positioning intermediate rotating shaft 108 to rotate. The left and right positioning intermediate rotating shaft 108 is equipped with left and right positioning connecting rod rotating arms 109 at both ends. The left and right positioning connecting rod assemblies 1010 are hinged to the two ends of the left and right positioning connecting rod rotating arms 109 respectively. The left and right positioning connecting rod assemblies 1010 are located on the left and right sides of the mold closing station respectively. The left and right positioning connecting rod assemblies 1010 are hinged to one end of the left and right claws on their corresponding sides. The middle part of the left and right claws is hinged to the frame 101. Furthermore, in the rotation path of the left and right claws, the two left and right claws can avoid the movement path of the anode carbon block in the relatively far direction, so as to avoid the interference of the left and right claws on the normal movement of the anode carbon block.
[0035] The left and right grippers include left and right positioning rotating arms 1011 and a pulley rotatably disposed at one end of the left and right positioning rotating arms 1011. The other end of the left and right positioning rotating arms 1011 is hinged to the left and right positioning link assembly 1010. The left and right positioning link assembly 1010 includes left and right positioning link bodies 10101 and rod end joint bearings connected to both ends of the left and right positioning link bodies 10101.
