[0022] 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.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application embodiment provides an electrolytic cell feeding device, including a material box 1, a feeding pipe 2, and a dredging component 3. The material box 1 has a certain volume and has a first inlet 11 and a first outlet 12 arranged opposite to each other in the axial direction. The first inlet 11 is located at the top of the material box 1, and the first outlet 12 is located at the bottom of the material box 1. The first inlet 11 and the first outlet 12 are connected. The diameter of the first inlet 11 can be larger than the diameter of the second inlet 12, so that the material box 1 can be in the shape of a funnel with a larger diameter at the top and a smaller diameter at the bottom. The discharge pipe 2 is located below the material box 1 and is connected to the bottom of the material box 1. The discharge pipe 2 has a second inlet 21 and a second outlet 22 arranged opposite to each other in its extending direction. The second inlet 21 is located at the top of the discharge pipe 2, and the second outlet 22 is located at the bottom of the discharge pipe 2. The second inlet 21 is connected to the first outlet 12, and the second outlet 22 is connected to the second inlet 21. The discharge pipe 2 has a certain volume. The unblocking component 3 is located inside the discharge pipe 2. The unblocking component 3 includes an unblocking plate 37, a transmission mechanism, and a power source. The unblocking plate 37 can move up and down within the first outlet 12. The transmission mechanism connects the unblocking plate 37 and the power source. The power source can provide power. When the power source is working, the transmission mechanism receives the power output by the power source and can drive the unblocking plate 37 to move up and down within the first outlet 12.

[0024] The electrolytic cell feeding device may also include a working platform 5, which has a through hole running vertically through it. The bottom of the feeding pipe 2 passes through the through hole downwards, and the second discharge port 22 of the feeding pipe 2 is the opening at the bottom. A cloth bag 7 is fitted on the outer side of the bottom of the feeding pipe 2, and the cloth bag 7 is connected to the second discharge port 22.

[0025] During operation, the material enters the material bin 1 through the first feed inlet 11. Under the action of gravity, the material enters the discharge pipe 2 through the first discharge outlet 12 at the bottom of the material bin 1, and then falls into the electrolytic cell through the cloth bag 7 from the second discharge outlet 22 of the discharge pipe 2. When the material is blocked at the first discharge outlet 12 of the material bin 1, the power source is started. The power source drives the unblocking plate 37 to rise and fall in the first feed inlet 11 through the transmission mechanism. The unblocking plate 37 is operated repeatedly. The material is unblocked by the repeated reciprocating rise and fall of the unblocking plate 37 in the first feed inlet 11, so that the material in the material bin 1 can fall smoothly into the discharge pipe 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, a clearing component 3 is installed inside the feeding pipe 2. A clearing plate 37 is driven by a power source to rise and fall within the first discharge port 12 to solve the problem of material blockage. By installing a cloth bag 7, the diffusion of dust from the second discharge port 22 can be reduced or avoided, which not only reduces material waste but also ensures the cleanliness of the air in the electrolytic aluminum workshop. By installing a working platform 5 below the feeding pipe 2, it is convenient for operators to perform maintenance and other operations on the feeding pipe 2.

[0027] In some embodiments, the power source of the unblocking component 3 is a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. The power source includes a cylinder body 30 and a piston rod 31. The cylinder body 30 is fixed inside the feed pipe 2 by a support 32. The piston rod 31 slides with the cylinder body 30 and can extend outward and retract inward relative to the cylinder body 30.

[0028] The transmission mechanism includes a first joint plate 33, a second joint plate 35, and a drain plate bracket 36. One end of the first joint plate 33 is hinged to the feed pipe 2 via a pin 34, allowing the first joint plate 33 to rotate within the feed pipe 2. The other end of the first joint plate 33 is hinged to one end of the second joint plate 35 via a pin 34. The other end of the second joint plate 35 is hinged to the first mounting position of the drain plate bracket 36 via a pin 34. The second mounting position of the drain plate bracket 36 is hinged to the feed pipe 2 via a pin 34, allowing the drain plate bracket 36 to rotate within the feed pipe 2. All pins 34 are parallel to each other. The drain plate bracket 36 also has a third mounting position and a fourth mounting position. The third mounting position is connected to the piston rod 31 of the cylinder, allowing the piston rod 31 to drive the drain plate bracket 36 to rotate. The fourth mounting position is hinged to the drain plate 37 via a pin 34, allowing the drain plate 37 to rotate relative to the drain plate bracket 36.

[0029] The first and third mounting positions of the drain cleaning plate bracket 36 are both located below the second mounting position, and the fourth mounting position of the drain cleaning plate bracket 36 is located above the second mounting position. The second mounting position is hinged to the discharge pipe 2, forming a lever structure with the drain cleaning plate bracket 36. When the lower side of the drain cleaning plate bracket 36 is subjected to force, the drain cleaning plate bracket 36 can rotate within the discharge pipe 2, thereby moving the drain cleaning plate 37 connected to its upper side up and down. When the piston rod 31 of the cylinder periodically extends outward and retracts inward, its piston rod 31 drives the drain cleaning plate bracket 36 to reciprocate around its rotation axis within the discharge pipe 2, thereby moving the drain cleaning plate 37 up and down within the first discharge port 12 of the material box 1.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first joint plate 33 is hinged to the feed pipe 2, and the second joint plate 35 is hinged to the first joint plate 33, allowing the second joint plate 35 to rotate relative to the first joint plate 33, thereby changing the included angle between the first joint plate 33 and the second joint plate 35. By setting the first joint plate 33 and the second joint plate 35 to be hinged to each other, the unblocking plate support 36 is made more stable during rotation.

[0031] The unblocking support may also include an unblocking bearing 38, which is fixedly connected to the unblocking plate 37. The bearing 38 can be integrally formed or fixedly connected by welding, bonding, or mechanical connection. The unblocking bearing 38 is hinged to the unblocking plate support 36 via a pin 34. The shape and dimensions of the unblocking plate 37 match the shape and dimensions of the first discharge port 12 of the material box 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, the electrolytic cell feeding device also includes a flexible connecting pipe 4, which connects the bottom of the material box 1 and the top of the discharge pipe 2. The unblocking plate 37 is located inside the connecting pipe 4 and can move up and down within the first discharge port 12 of the material box 1 under the drive of a cylinder. The connecting pipe 4 can be a telescopic joint. By setting the flexible connecting pipe 4, vibration is avoided from causing damage and leakage at the connection between the material box 1 and the discharge pipe 2 during material blockage unblocking operations.

[0033] In this embodiment, the feed pipe 2 is inclined and extends at an angle relative to the working platform 5. The cylinder is also inclined and can be parallel to the extension direction of the feed pipe 2, thereby avoiding interference between the piston rod 31 and the feed pipe 2 during operation.

[0034] In this embodiment, the electrolytic cell feeding device may further include a sealing component 6, which includes a plug 62 disposed inside the second discharge port 22 and a cylinder 61 that drives the plug 62 to rise and fall. When material needs to be discharged, the cylinder 61 moves the plug 62 away from the second discharge port 22. When material discharge stops, the cylinder 61 moves the plug 62 to seal the second discharge port 22.

[0035] In this embodiment, the feed pipe 2 may be provided with multiple adjusting holes 39, which are distributed at intervals along a straight line or arc. The adjusting holes 39 are threaded holes. The drain cleaning plate bracket 36 is provided with a through hole, through which the threaded fastener passes and locks into the adjusting hole 39. By providing multiple threaded adjusting holes 39, the installation position of the drain cleaning plate bracket 36 can be adjusted, thereby enabling the adjustment of the movement trajectory of the drain cleaning plate 37, and thus matching the first discharge port 12 of the material box 1. The threaded fastener serves to connect the drain cleaning plate bracket 36 and the feed pipe 2. At the same time, the threaded fastener also acts as a pivot, allowing the drain cleaning plate bracket 36 to rotate around the threaded fastener.
