TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a prebaked anode paste plasticity control device belongs to prebaked anode production technical field. BACKGROUND
[0002] Mixing kneading is the key step in the production of prebaked anode, directly affects the green body quality in the forming process and the performance index of carbon anode product after baking. The quality of mixing kneading is ultimately reflected by the plasticity of the paste, and there are many factors affecting the plasticity of the paste. For example, the quality of raw material petroleum coke, calcination conditions, binder performance and dosage, mixing kneading temperature, mixing kneading time, etc. The mixing ratio of each particle size material of calcined coke has great influence on the uniformity of mixing kneading, and the roughness and porosity of the mixed dry material also directly affect the wettability of the binder, which in turn affects the plasticity of the paste. If the amount of binder is too small, the plasticity of the paste will be poor, and if the amount of binder is too large, the plasticity will be poor, and the product will be deformed during the baking process. If the mixing kneading temperature is too low, the viscosity of asphalt is large, the penetration effect is not good, the mixing kneading machine is laborious, the mixing is not uniform, and the plasticity of the paste is poor. If the mixing kneading temperature is too high, the asphalt will decompose, volatilize and oxidize, and the amount of loss will be large, which will cause the paste to appear "aging" phenomenon and reduce the plasticity of the paste. If the mixing kneading time is too short, the mixing kneading will be uneven, and if the mixing kneading time is too long, the asphalt or other binders will be severely oxidized, which will reduce the plasticity and uniformity of the paste. If the plasticity of the paste is poor, it will be difficult to vibrate during the vibration forming, the anode height will be out of standard, and the green anode volume density will be low, which will ultimately lead to poor quality of the prebaked anode after baking, and further increase the oxidation and slagging of the anode in the aluminum electrolysis cell. Therefore, controlling the plasticity of the paste is very important for the comprehensive indicators such as the volume density of the prebaked anode.
[0003] The current technology does not consider comprehensively, and has the following disadvantages: in actual production, the plasticity of the paste can only be observed by the naked eye and felt by manual kneading at the discharge port, once the plasticity of the paste is poor, it is difficult to obtain the best green anode quality during the vibration forming process, and it is difficult to remedy in the subsequent process, the current way of relying solely on manual feeling cannot meet the production needs, which is easy to cause more forming waste products, and cannot quickly and effectively control the production process.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0029] The present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments, but it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0030] Example 1, as Figures 1-2As shown, the plasticity control device for prebaked anode paste includes a rotating shaft 3 and a rotary cutter drive motor 1 that drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate. A through hole for the rotating shaft 3 to pass through is provided on the side wall of the kneading pot 6. An annular sealing sleeve 9 that cooperates with the rotating shaft 3 to achieve a seal is installed on the through hole. A cutting blade 2 is installed on the rotating shaft 3 inside the kneading pot 6. The other end of the rotating shaft 3 is electrically connected to the power output shaft of the rotary cutter drive motor 1 through a coupling. The device also includes a propulsion mechanism 5 that drives the rotating shaft 3 to move along its length direction and a speed sensor 10 installed on the outer wall of the kneading pot 6. The speed sensor 10 cooperates with the speed sensing plate 11 on the rotating shaft 3 to detect the speed of the rotating shaft 3.
[0031] After the kneading process is completed, the propulsion mechanism 5 drives the cutting blade 2 from the edge of the kneading pot 6 towards its center. The cutting blade 2 enters the paste inside the kneading pot 6, and its position is 40cm away from the pot wall. The rotary blade drive motor 1 is then activated. The rotary blade drive motor 1 drives the cutting blade 2 to rotate via the rotating shaft 3, and the rotation speed is detected by the speed sensor 10 and the speed sensing plate 11. After one detection cycle is completed, the propulsion mechanism 5 drives the rotary blade back to its position on the pot wall.
[0032] A higher cutter speed results in lower paste resistance, indicating a dry and loose paste with poor plasticity, requiring timely replenishment of binder. Conversely, a lower cutter speed leads to poor paste flowability, higher asphalt content, a glossy and viscous paste, and poor plasticity, necessitating a reduction in binder dosage. This system can determine whether binder dosage needs adjustment to achieve optimal paste plasticity, addressing technical issues such as inaccurate control of asphalt addition and paste plasticity in existing kneading pot production processes, resulting in low production efficiency. It assesses paste plasticity and allows for timely adjustments, preventing the production of substandard paste and the resulting waste anodes.
[0033] Example 2, as Figures 1-2 As shown, the plasticity control device for prebaked anode paste includes a rotating shaft 3 and a rotary cutter drive motor 1 that drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate. A through hole for the rotating shaft 3 to pass through is provided on the side wall of the kneading pot 6. An annular sealing sleeve 9 that cooperates with the rotating shaft 3 to achieve a seal is installed on the through hole. A cutting blade 2 is installed on the rotating shaft 3 inside the kneading pot 6. The other end of the rotating shaft 3 is electrically connected to the power output shaft of the rotary cutter drive motor 1 through a coupling. The device also includes a propulsion mechanism 5 that drives the rotating shaft 3 to move along its length direction and a speed sensor 10 installed on the outer wall of the kneading pot 6. The speed sensor 10 cooperates with the speed sensing plate 11 on the rotating shaft 3 to detect the speed of the rotating shaft 3.
[0034] It solved problems such as inaccurate control of paste temperature, uneven mixing quality, and inaccurate addition of asphalt.
[0035] Further, the mechanical power output by the rotary knife driving motor 1 is constant. The power of the motor can be calculated by the formula: power = torque x rotating speed / 9550. The product of torque and rotating speed represents the amount of work energy conversion per unit time, and dividing by the constant 9550 is to obtain the corresponding power unit.
[0036] Further, the cutting knife 2 is provided in multiple groups, and the included angle between adjacent two groups is equal.

The two ends of the lead screw 15 are respectively rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the slide rail mounting base 17 through corresponding bearing assemblies. The servo motor 16 drives the lead screw 15 to rotate forward or reverse, and under the cooperation of the lead screw and the lead screw nut and the sliding block 13 and the slide rail 14, the rotary knife driving motor 1 is driven to reciprocate along the length direction of the slide rail mounting base 17.
[0040] Further, the side wall of the mixing pot 6 is provided with an electronic temperature detector 7, which includes a temperature sensor. The electronic temperature detector 7 and the rotating speed sensor 10 are electrically connected with the signal input end of the controller 4, the signal output end of the controller 4 is connected with a display, the controller 4 receives the temperature signal detected by the electronic temperature detector 7 and the rotating speed signal detected by the rotating speed sensor 10, and the display visually displays the temperature and rotating speed.
[0041] The controller 4 is a PLC controller.
[0042] In the actual application of the company, if the display rotation speed is between 20-30r / min, the smaller the paste resistance is, the paste is dry, the plasticity is poor, and the binder should be supplemented in time. If the display rotation speed is between 0-10 r / min, the asphalt content is large, the paste is bright and sticky, the paste flowability is poor, the plasticity is poor, and the binder should be appropriately reduced. If the display rotation speed is between 10-20 r / min, the paste is wet and soft, the flowability is suitable, the asphalt content is in the optimal range, the plasticity is just right, and the best green anode volume density and quality can be obtained.
[0043] After the kneading pot stirrer 8 is worked, the temperature is started, and the computer is transmitted, and the PLC controller is comprehensively calculated, and the paste temperature control range is 150-170 DEG C.

[0045] Example 3, different from the embodiment, the cross section of the cutting knife 2 is triangular or cylindrical or long strip.
[0046] Further, the sealing sleeve 9 is installed at 2 / 3 distance from the bottom of the paste 9, to avoid interference with the kneading pot stirrer.
