Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carbon block separation technology, specifically a carbon block separation device. Background Technology
[0002] Anode carbon blocks refer to carbon blocks produced using petroleum coke and pitch coke as aggregates and coal tar pitch as a binder, used as anode materials in prebaked aluminum electrolysis cells. These carbon blocks have been roasted and have a stable geometric shape, so they are also called prebaked anode carbon blocks, or conventionally referred to as carbon anodes for aluminum electrolysis.
[0003] In the existing technology, after the anode carbon blocks gradually cool down, the anode carbon blocks will stick together to varying degrees. When cleaning the surface of the carbon blocks, the sticking carbon blocks are usually separated manually. Not only is the separation operation not labor-saving and convenient, but it also greatly increases the labor intensity of the workers and poses certain safety hazards. Therefore, a new technical solution needs to be designed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a carbon block separation device, including a separation frame 1 and two concave frames 10 symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides. Each concave frame 10 is disposed within the separation frame 1. A guide rod 4 is fixed to the upper end of the separation frame 1. Sliding plates 7 are slidably sleeved on the left and right ends of the guide rod 4. A brake motor 8 is fixed to the inner side of each sliding plate 7. A fixing block 9 is connected to the power end of each brake motor 8. Each concave frame 10 is connected to the fixing block 9 on the same side. A spacing adjustment group is provided above the guide rod 4. The spacing adjustment assembly includes a first forward and reverse motor 5 and a first bidirectional lead screw 6. The first forward and reverse motor 5 is fixed to the left end inside the separation frame 1. One end of the first bidirectional lead screw 6 is connected to the power end of the first forward and reverse motor 5, and the other end of the first bidirectional lead screw 6 is rotatably connected to the right end inside the separation frame 1. The sliding plates 7 are all threadedly connected to the first bidirectional lead screw 6. An electric cylinder 2 is fixed to the bottom end inside the separation frame 1. A support plate 3 is connected to the power end of the electric cylinder 2. The support plate 3 is located between two concave frames 10.
[0021] When separating carbon blocks using this separation device, the carbon blocks are placed on the support plate 3. Then, the operation of the first forward and reverse motor 5 drives the first bidirectional lead screw 6 to rotate. The first bidirectional lead screw 6 drives the sliding plate 7 to slide along the guide rod 4. The sliding plate 7 drives the brake motor 8, the fixing block 9, and the concave frame 10 to move together. This facilitates the adjustment of the clamping distance between the two concave frames 10 and brings the two sliding plates 7 closer to each other. During this process, the sliding plate 7 drives the brake motor 8, the fixing block 9, and the concave frame 10 to move closer to the carbon blocks until the two concave frames 10 clamp the carbon blocks from both sides. This makes it convenient to clamp carbon blocks of various lengths using the two concave frames 10.
[0022] In this embodiment, clamping plates 11 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the inner side of the concave frame 10, and push rods 18 are fixed on the outer side of the clamping plates 11. The push rods 18 slide through the concave frame 10. A clamping drive assembly is provided on the outer side of the concave frame 10. The clamping drive assembly includes a second forward and reverse motor 13, a main gear 14, a second bidirectional lead screw 16, a secondary gear 15, and two push plates 17. The second forward and reverse motor 13 is fixed to the upper end of the fixing block 9. The main gear 14 is connected to the power end of the second forward and reverse motor 13. The second bidirectional lead screw 16 rotates through the fixing block 9. The secondary gear 15 is fixedly sleeved around the second bidirectional lead screw 16 and meshes with the main gear 14. The two push plates 17 are respectively threaded onto the upper and lower ends of the outer periphery of the adjacent second bidirectional lead screw 16. The ends of the push rods 18 are fixed to the adjacent push plates 17.
[0023] When the clamping plate 11 is positioned at the upper and lower ends of the carbon block, and the carbon block needs to be clamped and fixed by the clamping plate 11, the operation of the second forward and reverse motor 13 drives the main gear 14, the auxiliary gear 15, and the second bidirectional lead screw 16 to rotate. The second bidirectional lead screw 16 will drive the push plate 17, the push rod 18, and the clamping plate 11 to approach the carbon block until the clamping plate 11 clamps and fixes the carbon block. This is beneficial for clamping carbon blocks of various thicknesses and for improving the firmness of the clamping of the carbon block. Therefore, the carbon block is clamped by the cooperation of the concave frame 10 and the clamping plate 11, which prevents the carbon block from falling accidentally during the separation process. This is beneficial for separating carbon blocks of various sizes.
[0024] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the concave frame 10 and the inner side of the clamping plate 11 are connected with a number of anti-slip protrusions 12.
[0025] By providing multiple anti-slip protrusions 12 on the inner side wall of the concave frame 10 and the inner side of the clamping plate 11, the anti-slip protrusions 12 help to increase the friction when in contact with the carbon block, which helps to improve the firmness of the carbon block after clamping, and better prevents the carbon block from falling off accidentally.
[0026] In this embodiment, the power ends of the brake motor 8 are all connected to the fixing blocks 9, and the concave frame 10 is connected to the fixing blocks 9 on the same side.
[0027] After the carbon block is clamped, the support plate 3 moves down by the retraction of the electric cylinder 2 until the support plate 3 is far away from the carbon block. One brake motor 8 drives one concave frame 10 to rotate forward, and the other brake motor 8 drives the other concave frame 10 to rotate in reverse. Since the two concave frames 10 rotate in different directions, it is convenient to apply torsional forces in different directions to the carbon block. Therefore, it is convenient and quick to separate the carbon blocks that are stuck together by torsional force, which reduces the trouble of manually separating the carbon blocks. The operation is easy and labor-saving, and effectively reduces the safety hazards of manual separation.
[0028] Working principle;
[0029] The carbon block is clamped left and right by the concave frame 10, and the carbon block is clamped and fixed up and down by the clamping plate 11. One brake motor 8 drives one concave frame 10 to rotate forward, and the other brake motor 8 drives the other concave frame 10 to rotate in reverse. Since the two concave frames 10 rotate in different directions, it is convenient to apply torque to the carbon block, thus facilitating the quick and easy separation of the carbon blocks that are stuck together by the torsional force.
[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
