Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of processing carbon blocks from electrolytic aluminum anodes, and more specifically, to a transport and crushing system. Background Technology

[0002] In the aluminum electrolysis industry, anode carbon blocks are typically used as the anodes of the electrolytic cell. These blocks are connected to anode rods and extend into the cell. As the reaction proceeds, the anode carbon blocks are gradually consumed. To prevent damage to the anode rods, replacement is usually initiated when only a portion of the anode carbon block remains—the residual anode. The residual anode can generally be crushed and reused to produce new anode carbon blocks, used as fuel for power plants, or flowed to downstream enterprises for further processing and utilization. To facilitate the further utilization of the residual anode, the replaced anodes usually require manual transport using forklifts to move them across areas to a crusher for crushing. The forklifts moving back and forth within the work area not only poses significant safety risks and incurs high labor costs but also results in low transportation and crushing efficiency.

[0018] The conveying and crushing system of this utility model has at least the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0019] At least two first conveying assemblies are spaced apart along the conveying direction. A second conveying assembly is located between two of the first conveying assemblies. The second conveying assembly can be connected to the discharge end of the first conveying assembly located upstream in the conveying direction and the feed end of the first conveying assembly located downstream in the conveying direction. During operation, materials such as residual anodes are placed into the trays of the tray assembly, and the trays are placed on the upstream first conveying assembly. As the upstream first conveying assembly operates, the tray assembly is transported to the discharge end and received by the second conveying assembly. After the second conveying assembly moves the tray assembly containing the material toward the crushing assembly and the tilting assembly, the tilting assembly drives the tray assembly on the second conveying assembly. The pallet is flipped to pour the material into the crushing assembly for crushing. Then, the flipping assembly flips in the opposite direction to reset the empty pallet. Afterward, the second conveying assembly moves the pallet assembly back between the two first conveying assemblies and continues to convey the pallet assembly to the feed end of the downstream first conveying assembly for further transport. This achieves automated material transport, loading, and crushing operations. Compared to manual forklift transport and loading, it offers better safety, lower labor costs, and higher transport and crushing efficiency. In addition, compared to using conveyor belts or other conveying assemblies to directly transport materials such as residual anodes, using pallet assemblies to hold materials allows for the transport of a larger amount of material at once, improving material transport efficiency. Furthermore, compared to directly placing materials on the first and second conveying components, this embodiment first places the material on the pallet of the pallet assembly, and then places the pallet on the first conveying component for conveying. This avoids frictional loss caused by direct contact between residual anodes and other materials during conveying, ensuring the smooth conveying of materials on the first and second conveying components. Moreover, when the material is residual anodes freshly removed from the electrolytic cell, the pallet can be loaded with the higher-temperature residual anodes first, and after cooling, the pallet can be placed on the first conveying component, which helps protect the first and second conveying components. In addition, the second conveying component moves from the tilting component towards a position closer to the two first conveying components to transport the unloaded pallet assembly between the two first conveying components, and then conveys the pallet assembly to the feed end of the downstream first conveying component. This allows for the recycling of empty pallet assemblies using related conveying mechanisms for reuse by the upstream first conveying component, ensuring a rhythmic transport and crushing process and further improving the overall transport and crushing efficiency of the system.

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fitting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of this utility model, the terms and nouns in each embodiment, such as "upper," "lower," "front," and "rear," which indicate the location, are only used to simplify the description of the positional relationship based on the accompanying drawings. They do not mean that the components and devices referred to must be operated in accordance with the specific location and limited operation, method, and structure in the specification. Such directional terms do not constitute a limitation on this utility model.

[0031] This paper establishes an XYZ coordinate system, where the Z-axis represents the up and down direction, with the positive Z-axis representing up and the negative Z-axis representing down. It should be noted that the aforementioned Z-axis representation is merely for ease of description and simplification of this invention, and does not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a conveying and crushing system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a conveyor chain 100, a tilting component 3, a crushing component 4, and a pallet assembly 5. The conveyor chain 100 includes a first conveying component 1 and a second conveying component 2 arranged along the conveying direction. Both the first conveying component 1 and the second conveying component 2 are used to convey the pallet assembly 5 along the conveying direction. At least two first conveying components 1 are spaced apart along the conveying direction. The second conveying component 2 is movably arranged between two of the first conveying components 1. The second conveying component 2 can move closer to the tilting component 3 and away from the tilting component 3 to return between the two first conveying components 1. The pallet assembly 5 includes at least a pallet 502 for carrying material 9. The tilting component 3 is used to pick up the pallet 502 on the second conveying component 2 and tilt it when the second conveying component 2 moves closer, so as to pour the material 9 in the pallet 502 into the crushing component 4 for crushing.

[0033] Specifically, the tray 502 of the tray assembly 5 can hold materials 9 such as residual anodes. The residual anodes taken out from the electrolytic cell can be placed directly on the tray 502 for cooling. The first conveying component 1 and the second conveying component 2 of the conveying chain 100 can convey the tray assembly 5 along the X direction. At least two first conveying components 1 are arranged at intervals along the X direction, that is, multiple first conveying components 1 can be arranged to better meet the conveying needs of the entire production chain. The structure of the second conveying component 2 can be different from that of the first conveying component 1. The second conveying component 2 can move as a whole to transport the tray 502 from between two of the first conveying components 1 to the flipping component 3. Each first conveying component 1 can be located on the same straight line. The crushing component 4 and the flipping component 3 can be located on the same side of the straight line. The flipping component 3 is used to drive the tray 502 that has been transported to the position to flip so as to realize the feeding of the crushing component 4. The crushing component 4 is used to crush the material.

[0034] In this embodiment, at least two first conveying components 1 are spaced apart along the conveying direction, and a second conveying component 2 is located between two of the first conveying components 1. The second conveying component 2 can be connected to the discharge end of the first conveying component 1 located upstream in the conveying direction and the feed end of the first conveying component 1 located downstream in the conveying direction. During operation, residual anodes and other materials 9 are placed into the tray 502 of the tray assembly 5, and the tray 502 is placed on the upstream first conveying component 1. As the upstream first conveying component 1 operates, the tray assembly 5 is transported to the discharge end and received by the second conveying component 2. The second conveying component 2 moves the tray assembly 5 containing the material toward the crusher. After component 4 and the flipping component 3 are moved into position, the flipping component 3 drives the pallet 502 of the pallet component 5 on the second conveying component 2 to flip, so that the material is poured into the crushing component 4 for crushing. Then, the flipping component 3 flips in the opposite direction to reset the empty pallet 502. After that, the second conveying component 2 moves the pallet component 5 back between the two first conveying components 1 and continues to convey the pallet component 5 to the feed end of the downstream first conveying component 1, so that it can continue to be transported through the first conveying component 1. This realizes the automated operation of material transportation, feeding and crushing. Compared with manual operation of forklift transportation and feeding, it is safer, has lower labor costs and higher transportation and crushing efficiency. In addition, compared to directly placing the material on the first conveying component 1 and the second conveying component 2 for conveying, this embodiment first places the material on the tray 502 of the tray component 5, and then places the tray 502 on the first conveying component 1 for conveying. This can avoid frictional loss caused by the material such as residual anode directly contacting the first conveying component 1 and the second conveying component 2 during the conveying process, and ensure the smooth conveying of the first conveying component 1 and the second conveying component 2. Moreover, when the material 9 is residual anode that has just been taken out of the electrolytic cell, the tray 502 can first load the residual anode at a higher temperature, and after it has cooled down, the tray 502 can be placed on the first conveying component 1, which is beneficial to protecting the first conveying component 1 and the second conveying component 2. In addition, the second conveying component 2 moves from the flipping component 3 toward a position close to the two first conveying components 1 to transport the unloaded pallet component 5 between the two first conveying components 1, and conveys the pallet component 5 to the downstream first conveying component 1, so as to realize the recycling of the empty pallet component 5 by the relevant conveying mechanism and the reuse of the upstream first conveying component 1. This can ensure the rhythm of the transportation and crushing process and further improve the overall transportation and crushing efficiency of the system.

[0035] like Figure 5As shown, optionally, both the first conveying assembly 1 and the second conveying assembly 2 include a support plate 601, a transmission chain 602, a transmission wheel 603 and a driving device 604. A plurality of transmission wheels 603 are rotatably disposed on the support plate 601, and the plurality of transmission wheels 603 are connected through the transmission chain 602. The driving device 604 is drivenly connected to one of the transmission wheels 603.

[0036] In this embodiment, both the first conveying component 1 and the second conveying component 2 can adopt a chain drive. Specifically, the support plate 601 can be arranged along the XZ plane, and multiple transmission wheels 603 are rotatably arranged on the support plate 601. The transmission wheels 603 can rotate around the Y axis, and the number of transmission wheels 603 can be flexibly set according to the power transmission needs. The transmission chain 602 is sleeved on the multiple transmission wheels 603. The driving device 604 can be a drive motor, which drives one of the transmission wheels 603 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission chain 602 to move. The pallet assembly 5 is placed on the transmission chain 602, thereby realizing the conveying of the pallet assembly 5.

[0037] In addition to driving the pallet assembly 5 to move with it, the second conveying component 2 can also convey the pallet assembly 5 through its transmission chain 602. The transmission direction of the transmission chain 602 of the second conveying component 2 is the same as that of the transmission chain 602 of the first conveying component 1, so that the second conveying component 2 can not only receive the pallet assembly 5 conveyed from the first conveying component 1 upstream, but also convey the pallet assembly 5 to the first conveying component 1 downstream.

[0038] In some other embodiments, the first conveying component 1 and the second conveying component 2 may also be belt driven.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, optionally, both the first conveying assembly 1 and the second conveying assembly 2 further include a drive shaft 605. Both the first conveying assembly 1 and the second conveying assembly 2 include two support plates 601 arranged opposite to each other. Each support plate 601 is rotatably provided with a plurality of drive wheels 603. The plurality of drive wheels 603 on each support plate 601 are connected by a corresponding drive chain 602. The drive wheels 603 on the two support plates 601 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. A drive shaft 605 is connected between a pair of drive wheels 603. The driving device 604 is drivenly connected to the drive shaft 605.

[0040] In this embodiment, two opposing support plates 601 are arranged, and multiple transmission wheels 603 are provided on each support plate 601. These transmission wheels 603 on each support plate 601 are driven by corresponding transmission chains 602. When the pallet assembly 5 is placed on the transmission chains 602 of the two support plates 601, the two transmission chains 602 can simultaneously provide power to the pallet assembly 5, achieving more stable transport of the pallet assembly 5. By connecting a transmission shaft 605 between the corresponding transmission wheels 603 of the two support plates 601, a single drive device 604 can drive the drive shaft 605, thereby simultaneously driving the movement of the two transmission chains 602. This not only ensures the synchronous transmission of the transmission chains 602 on the two support plates 601 but also reduces the number of drive devices 604 required, simplifying the system structure and reducing costs.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, optionally, each of the support plates 601 is provided with three transmission wheels 603, one of which is a driving wheel and the other two are driven wheels. The two driven wheels are respectively installed at both ends of the support plate 601, and the driving wheel is installed on the part between the two ends of the support plate 601. The height of the driving wheel is lower than that of the driven wheel. The transmission shaft 605 connects the driving wheels on the two support plates 601. The first conveying assembly 1 and the second conveying assembly 2 also include two connecting plates 606. The two connecting plates 606 and the two support plates 601 enclose a frame-shaped support, and the driving device 604 is located inside the frame-shaped support.

[0042] Specifically, each support plate 601 is equipped with three transmission wheels 603, including one driving wheel and two driven wheels. The two driven wheels are located at both ends of the support plate 601 along the X direction, and the driving wheel is located in the middle of the support plate 601 between the two ends along the X direction. The drive wheels are connected to the transmission shaft 605. In this way, chain drive can be realized through the three transmission wheels 603, which has a simple structure and good stability. The height of the driving wheel is lower than that of the two driven wheels, so that the position of the transmission shaft 605 connected to the driving wheel is lower. The drive device 604 is driven by the transmission shaft 605, that is, the drive device 604 is also set relatively low, so it is not easy to interfere with the pallet assembly 5 above. Furthermore, connecting plates 606 are respectively connected between the two ends of the two opposing support plates 601. The two support plates 601 and the two connecting plates 606 enclose a frame-shaped support. In this way, the two support plates 601 can be fixed relative to each other, ensuring synchronous transmission of the two chain drive structures and enhancing the structural stability of the entire conveying assembly. In addition, the drive wheels on the two support plates 601 are respectively located in the middle of the corresponding support plates 601, that is, the drive shaft 605 is located in the middle of the frame-shaped support. This ensures that the drive device 604 connected to the drive shaft 605 is located inside the frame-shaped support and will not extend out of the frame-shaped support in the X or Y direction, reducing the space occupied by the first conveying assembly 1 and the second conveying assembly 2.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, optionally, both the first conveying assembly 1 and the second conveying assembly 2 further include tensioning rollers 607. Each support plate 601 is provided with two tensioning rollers 607, which are respectively located on both sides of the drive wheel. The tensioning rollers 607 are used to tension the transmission chain 602. The tensioning rollers 607 are rotatably connected to the support plate 601. The height of the tensioning rollers 607 is greater than the height of the drive wheel and less than or equal to the height of the driven wheel. The tensioning rollers 607 can be located on the outside of the transmission chain 602. One end of the transmission chain 602 passes sequentially around one driven wheel and one tensioning roller 607, then passes downward around the drive wheel, and then passes upward around another tensioning roller and another driven wheel. By adjusting the position of the tensioning rollers 607, the tension of the transmission chain 602 can be adjusted to ensure that the transmission chain 602 is not too tight or too loose, thus ensuring transmission stability.

[0044] like Figure 5As shown, optionally, both the first conveying assembly 1 and the second conveying assembly 2 further include mounting plates 608 and auxiliary support rods 609. The two mounting plates 608 are respectively mounted on opposite sides of the two support plates 601. The drive wheels on the two support plates 601 are respectively mounted on the corresponding mounting plates 608. The auxiliary support rod 609 connects the two mounting plates 608. By setting mounting plates 608 on opposite sides of the two support plates 601, the strength of the support plates 601 (i.e., the frame-type support) can be improved, ensuring that the frame-type support can provide stable support for the drive shaft 605 and the drive device 604. In addition, the mounting plates 608 can extend downwards from the support plates 601, and drive wheels can be mounted on the portion of the mounting plates 608 extending from the support plates 601, allowing the drive wheels, drive shaft 605, and drive device 604 to be positioned as low as possible, minimizing interference with the pallet assembly 5.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, optionally, the conveying and crushing system further includes a track 7, which is disposed between the two first conveying components 1 and extends along a conveying direction perpendicular to the first conveying components 1. The second conveying component 2 includes rollers 610, and the second conveying component 2 is movably disposed on the track 7 via the rollers 610. Rollers 610 can be installed at the four corners of the frame-shaped support of the second conveying component 2, that is, there are a total of four rollers 610. The track 7 extends along the Y direction, and two tracks 7 can be arranged parallel to each other at intervals along the X direction. Each track 7 is provided with two rollers 610. One of the four rollers 610 can be connected to a motor, and the motor drives the corresponding roller 610 to rotate, so that the second conveying component 2 can move stably along the track 7, ensuring the stability of the second conveying component 2 when handling the pallet assembly 5.

[0046] The bottom of the frame-shaped support of the first conveying component 1 may be provided with support legs to support the station on the ground or other platform 10.

[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, optionally, the tray assembly 5 further includes a bracket 501, which is connected to the transmission chain 602. The tray 502 is detachably disposed on the bracket 501 and is used to dock with the flipping assembly 3 when the second conveying assembly 2 moves toward the flipping assembly 3.

[0048] Specifically, the tray 502 can be a square tray with an open top. The interior of the tray 502 can be reinforced with ribs to increase its rigidity and prevent deformation and damage when heavy materials 9 such as residual anodes are placed on the tray 502. The bracket 501 can be a flat plate with multiple weight-reducing holes to reduce weight.

[0049] In this embodiment, the pallet assembly 5 includes a detachable pallet 502 and a bracket 501. After the second conveying assembly 2 moves the pallet assembly 5 into place, the flipping assembly 3 only docks with and positions the pallet 502 of the pallet assembly 5, and drives the pallet 502 to flip relative to the bracket 501. This allows the material in the pallet 502 to be poured into the crushing assembly 4. Since the bracket 501 of the pallet assembly 5 is still located on the transmission chain 602 of the second conveying assembly 2 during the flipping, it can effectively avoid the problem of the pallet 502 impacting and rubbing against the transmission chain 602 of the second conveying assembly 2 when the flipping assembly 3 docks with the pallet 502 or places the pallet 502 on the second conveying assembly 2, which would damage the transmission chain 602 and reduce the service life of the equipment.

[0050] In addition, the pallet assembly 5 includes a pallet 502 and a bracket 501 that are detachable from each other, so that the pallet 502 can be removed from the bracket 501 for placing relevant materials, making it more flexible to use.

[0051] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, optionally, the tray 502 is provided with an insertion tube 5021 on the side near the bracket 501. The insertion tube 5021 extends along the moving direction of the second conveying component 2. The flipping component 3 includes a support base 301, a rotating shaft 302, and an insertion plate 303. The rotating shaft 302 is rotatably mounted on the support base 301, and the insertion plate 303 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 302. The insertion plate 303 is used to insert and cooperate with the insertion tube 5021.

[0052] Specifically, two insertion tubes 5021 can be provided on the side of the tray 502 near the bracket 501, that is, the bottom of the tray 502. The insertion tubes 5021 can be hollow sleeves. The two support seats 301 of the flipping component 3 are arranged opposite each other and are located on both sides of the moving direction of the second conveying component 2. A rotating shaft 302 is rotatably arranged between the two support seats 301. The rotating shaft 302 extends along the X direction and can be driven by a motor to rotate around the X axis. Two insertion plates 303 can be provided on the rotating shaft 302. The shape of the insertion plates 303 matches that of the insertion tubes 5021. The two insertion plates 303 are respectively used to insert into the two insertion tubes 5021 at the bottom of the tray 502.

[0053] As the second conveying component 2 drives the pallet component 5 to move toward the direction of the flipping component 3, the insert plate 303 is gradually inserted into the insert tube 5021 of the pallet component 5 until it is fully inserted. Then, the rotating shaft 302 rotates to drive the pallet 502 away from the bracket 501 and flip toward the feed port of the crushing component 4 through the insert plate 303 and the insert tube 5021, so that the material 9 in the pallet 502 can be smoothly poured into the crushing component 4. After that, the rotating shaft 302 rotates in the opposite direction to place the pallet 502 back onto the bracket 501. The second conveying component 2 carries the empty pallet component 5 toward the downstream first conveying component 1 to complete the feeding.

[0054] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, optionally, the flipping assembly 3 further includes a limiting plate 304, which is fixedly disposed on the rotating shaft 302 and is consistent with the extending direction of the rotating shaft 302. The limiting plate 304 is provided with the insert plate 303, which is used to contact the corresponding part of the tray 502 when the insert plate 303 is inserted into the insert tube 5021.

[0055] Specifically, both the limiting plate 304 and the rotating shaft 302 extend along the X direction. The limiting plate 304 has insert plates 303 at both ends along the X direction. The insert plates 303 are perpendicular to the limiting plate 304. When the second conveying component 2 drives the pallet assembly 5 to move, so that one end face of the pallet 502 along the moving direction of the second conveying component 2 just contacts the limiting plate 304, the insert plate 303 is fully inserted into the insert tube 5021, and the pallet assembly 5 is transported into place, thereby realizing the movement limitation of the pallet assembly 5. In addition, when the rotating shaft 302 drives the pallet 502 to rotate, the limiting plate 304 abuts against the corresponding part of the pallet 502, which can limit the movement of the pallet 502.

[0056] like Figure 6As shown, optionally, the tray 502 has at least one positioning block 5022 on the side near the bracket 501, and the bracket 501 has a plurality of first limiting blocks 5011 spaced apart along its circumference on the side near the tray 502. The plurality of first limiting blocks 5011 enclose a limiting space, and the tray 502 is placed in the limiting space by the positioning block 5022 to position and cooperate with the bracket 501. Two positioning blocks 5022 can be provided, located between two insertion tubes 5021. Four first limiting blocks 5011 can be provided around the bracket 501, and the four first limiting blocks 5011 enclose a limiting space. When the tray 502 is placed on the bracket 501, the two positioning blocks 5022 and the two insertion tubes 5021 are all located within the limiting space, and the two positioning blocks 5022 and the two insertion tubes 5021 respectively contact the four first limiting blocks 5011 to achieve the positioning of the tray 502 on the bracket 501.

[0057] Here, a guide surface may be provided on the first limiting block 5011 to guide the positioning block 5022 and the insertion tube 5021 into the limiting space.

[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, optionally, the bracket 501 is provided with a second limiting block 5012 on the side away from the tray 502. The bracket 501 is in limiting contact with the support plate 601 through the second limiting block 5012. The second limiting block 5012 is used to restrict the bracket 501 from leaving the support plate 601 along the conveying direction perpendicular to the first conveying assembly 1.

[0059] Specifically, a second limiting block 5012 is provided on the side of the bracket 501 away from the pallet 502, that is, at the bottom of the bracket 501. The second limiting block 5012 has an elongated structure. When the pallet assembly 5 is placed on the first conveying assembly 1, the second limiting block 5012 can be located between the two support plates 601 of the first conveying assembly 1, and its two ends are respectively in contact with the corresponding support plates 601, so as to restrict the pallet assembly 5 from leaving the first conveying assembly 1 along the conveying direction perpendicular to the first conveying assembly 1 (that is, the width direction of the first conveying assembly 1).

[0060] When the tray assembly 5 is placed on the second conveying assembly 2, its function is similar to that described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0061] like Figure 3As shown, optionally, the transport and crushing system further includes a position sensing device 8. Multiple position sensing devices 8 are respectively arranged along the conveying direction of the first conveying component 1 and the moving direction of the second conveying component 2. The first conveying component 1, the second conveying component 2 and the position sensing devices 8 are communicatively connected. The position sensing device 8 is used to detect the position of the pallet component 5. The first conveying component 1 and the second conveying component 2 are used to operate according to the detection information of the corresponding position sensing device 8.

[0062] Here, the positioning sensing device 8 can be a distance sensor. By setting the positioning sensing device 8 at different positions along the conveying path of the first conveying component 1, it can detect whether the first conveying component 1 has conveyed the pallet component 5 on it to the correct position, or whether the corresponding pallet component 5 has entered the first conveying component 1, or whether the corresponding pallet component 5 has left the first conveying component 1. By setting the positioning sensing device 8 at different positions along the moving path of the second conveying component 2, it can detect whether the second conveying component 2 has moved the pallet component 5 on it to the correct position, so as to ensure that the flipping component 3 can smoothly drive the pallet component 5 on the second conveying component 2 to flip, or that the second conveying component 2 can smoothly convey the empty pallet component 5 on it to the downstream first conveying component 1.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the crushing component 4 includes a housing 401, a crushing roller 402 and a guide plate 403. The crushing roller 402 is rotatably disposed inside the housing 401. The housing 401 has a feeding port 4011. The guide plate 403 is provided on the side of the feeding port 4011 near the flipping component 3.

[0064] Here, a feeding port 4011 is provided above the housing 401. A guide plate 403 is provided on the side of the feeding port 4011 near the tilting assembly 3. The guide plate 403 gradually tilts towards the inside of the housing 401 from top to bottom. The tilting assembly 3 drives the tray 502 to tilt, and the material in the tray 502 can enter the housing 401 along the guide plate 403. The crushing roller 402 is located inside the housing 401. The crushing roller 402 is connected to the motor through a gearbox 404. Two crushing rollers 402 can be arranged in parallel. The motor can drive the two crushing rollers 402 to rotate through the gearbox 404 to crush the material. The crushing assembly 4 can be placed on a platform 10 such as the ground. Figure 2 As shown, a discharge port 1001 is provided on the platform 10 at a position corresponding to the crushing component 4. A conveyor belt can be installed below the discharge port 1001. The crushed residual anode fragments fall from the discharge port 1001 onto the conveyor belt and are transported away.

[0065] The tilting component 3 and the crushing component 4 can be located inside the shed 11. A dust collection hood 12 is provided above the shed 11 to collect the dust generated during the crushing process.

[0066] Although the present invention has been disclosed above, its protection scope is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
