Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a device for grinding and cleaning slag from anode carbon blocks and carbon bowls, belonging to the technical field of anode carbon block and carbon bowl grinding. Background Technology
[0002] During the calcination process of aluminum anode carbon blocks, calcination fillers and other materials can adhere to the carbon bowl and spiral grooves within the carbon block. It is necessary to clean the carbon bowl and spiral grooves to meet the requirements of electrolysis and anode assembly. Currently, anode carbon blocks are cleaned by workers after exiting the furnace, which is labor-intensive and exposes workers to high temperatures and dust, compromising their safety. Furthermore, worker cleaning is mostly done offline, involving hoisting the carbon blocks off the production line, cleaning them by workers, and then stacking them in the warehouse using a stacking crane. This requires space, and the frequent reloading by the stacking crane further increases the workload for workers. Therefore, developing a grinding and slag-removing device for anode carbon blocks is crucial. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a device for grinding and cleaning slag from anode carbon blocks and carbon bowls.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0005] A device for grinding and cleaning slag from an anode carbon block and a carbon bowl includes a main shaft. The main shaft is provided with a rotating gear, a fixed ring, and a spiral cutter disc from top to bottom. The lower end of the fixed ring is provided with a cutter holder, and the cutter holder is provided with inclined cutters that match the number of spiral grooves in the carbon bowl. The spiral cutter disc is located between several inclined cutters.
[0006] Furthermore, an upper bearing support and a lower bearing support are provided between the fixed ring and the main shaft, and a bearing spacer sleeve is provided between the upper bearing support and the lower bearing support.
[0007] Furthermore, a pulley spacer sleeve is provided between the upper bearing support and the rotating gear.
[0008] Furthermore, a guide shaft is provided below the main shaft, with the upper end of the guide shaft located inside the fixed ring and the lower end connected to the spiral cutter head.
[0009] Furthermore, the guide shaft is connected to the spiral cutter head via a lower sealing seat.
[0010] Furthermore, an upper sealing seat is provided above the guide shaft, a gasket 7 is provided below the lower bearing support seat, and several springs are provided below the gasket, with the springs passing through the upper sealing seat and connecting to the guide shaft.
[0011] Furthermore, both the upper and lower ends of the guide shaft are connected to the main shaft via bushings.
[0012] Furthermore, the main shaft is provided with guide keys for the up and down movement of the guide shaft, and the guide keys are symmetrically arranged on the main shaft.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This application drives the spiral cutter disc to rotate through the main shaft, which can effectively clean the filling material in the carbon bowl. The inclined groove cutter effectively cleans the filling material in the spiral groove of the carbon bowl. The guide shaft, spring and guide key drive the spiral cutter disc to move up and down, which can more effectively clean the filling material in the carbon bowl. This effectively reduces the labor intensity of workers, improves production efficiency, ensures product quality and saves production costs. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0019] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a device for grinding and cleaning slag from an anode carbon block / carbon bowl includes a main shaft 3. From top to bottom, the main shaft 3 is equipped with a rotating gear 2, a fixed ring 1, and a spiral cutter disc 12. The lower end of the fixed ring 1 is equipped with a cutter holder 13, on which are inclined cutters 14 matching the number of spiral grooves in the carbon bowl. The spiral cutter disc 12 is positioned among several inclined cutters 14. The fixed ring 1 is mounted on a robotic arm. A motor drives the gear 2 to rotate via a chain, thereby rotating the spiral cutter disc 12 below the main shaft 3 to clean the filler material inside the carbon bowl. Simultaneously, the inclined cutters 14 clean the filler material inside the spiral grooves of the carbon bowl.
[0020] An upper bearing support 4 and a lower bearing support 6 are provided between the fixed ring 1 and the main shaft 3, and a bearing spacer sleeve 5 is provided between the upper bearing support 4 and the lower bearing support 6. The upper bearing support 4, the bearing spacer sleeve 5, and the lower bearing support 6 are used for more stable rotation of the main shaft 3.
[0021] A pulley spacer sleeve 15 is provided between the upper bearing support 4 and the rotating gear 2. The pulley spacer sleeve 15 is used to stabilize the drive end of the main shaft 3.
[0022] A guide shaft 10 is located below the main shaft 3. The upper end of the guide shaft 10 is located inside the fixed ring 1, and the lower end is connected to the spiral cutter head 12. The guide shaft 10 and the spiral cutter head 12 are connected by a lower sealing seat 11. An upper sealing seat 9 is located above the guide shaft 10, and a gasket 7 is located below the lower bearing support seat 6. Several springs 8 are located below the gasket 7, and the springs 8 pass through the upper sealing seat 9 and are connected to the guide shaft 10. Both the upper and lower ends of the guide shaft 10 are connected to the main shaft 3 through bushings. The main shaft 3 is provided with guide keys for the up and down movement of the guide shaft 10, and the guide keys are symmetrically arranged on the main shaft 3. The guide shaft 10 drives the spiral cutter head 12 to move up and down through the springs 8 and the guide keys. The upper sealing seat 9 and the lower sealing seat 11 can effectively prevent filler material from entering the guide shaft 10 and the fixed ring 1.
[0023] This application uses the main shaft 3 to drive the spiral cutter head 12 to rotate, which can effectively clean the filler material in the carbon bowl. The inclined cutter head 14 effectively cleans the filler material in the spiral groove of the carbon bowl. The guide shaft 10, spring 8 and guide key drive the spiral cutter head 12 to move up and down, which can more effectively clean the filler material in the carbon bowl. This effectively reduces the labor intensity of workers, improves production efficiency, ensures product quality and saves production costs.
