Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carbon anode production technology, and in particular to a novel carbon bowl drainage device for an anode forming production line. Background Technology

[0002] In the carbon anode processing workshop, the anode blanks produced from the forming machine need to be immediately immersed in water to cool in order to fix their shape, and then slowly transported ashore by an underwater chain conveyor. This process will cause the anode carbon bowls on the anode blanks to be filled with water. Therefore, carbon anode production companies usually install a carbon bowl drainage device to drain the water when the anode blanks are about to be taken ashore from the water.

[0003] Traditional charcoal bowl drainage devices typically consist of high-pressure air guns placed side by side, using pulse pressure to expel water from the charcoal bowl.

[0004] The above-mentioned devices generally have the following drawbacks when in use:

[0005] First, the high-pressure air gun is noisy and harsh when in use; second, the high-speed water flow causes water to splash everywhere; third, the splashing high-speed water flow can flow back, resulting in incomplete cleaning; fourth, when two or more production lines transport anode billets in parallel, water will splash between them; fifth, workers moving back and forth on multiple conveyor lines are prone to slipping due to the splashing water, posing a certain safety hazard.

[0006] Based on this, the present invention optimizes the design of the carbon bowl drainage problem in the existing technology of the anode forming production line, and designs a new carbon bowl drainage device for the anode forming production line to better solve the problems existing in the existing technology.

Hanging columns, fixed to an external structure, are fixedly installed at the four corners of the top of the hanging and translating mechanism. Lifting components are installed at the bottom of the two opposing main sliding seats of the hanging and translating mechanism. A rotary opposing mechanism is installed at the bottom of each lifting component. Each rotary opposing mechanism is positioned above the corresponding anode green conveyor line and directly opposite the carbon bowl. A negative pressure drainage component is installed at the bottom of each rotary opposing mechanism. The negative pressure drainage component is connected to an external negative pressure pump via a matching pipeline. The rotary opposing mechanism controls the negative pressure drainage component below it to drain water from one or two carbon bowls simultaneously.

[0008] In any of the above embodiments, preferably, the suspension and translation mechanism includes a horizontal frame, with suspension columns fixed at the four top corners of the horizontal frame, a bidirectional lead screw installed inside the horizontal frame, the external threads on the left and right sides of the bidirectional lead screw rotating in opposite directions, and both ends of the bidirectional lead screw passing through through holes on the corresponding ends of the horizontal frame via stepped shafts, a drive unit fixedly installed at the right end of the horizontal frame, the drive unit being used to drive the bidirectional lead screw to rotate in both directions, and main sliding seats being screwed onto the outer side walls on the left and right sides of the bidirectional lead screw, the two main sliding seats moving relative to each other or moving away from each other in the working state.

[0009] In any of the above embodiments, it is preferred that the lifting assembly has two synchronous lifting cylinders arranged at intervals, the tops of the two synchronous lifting cylinders are fixedly installed at the bottom of the main sliding seat, and the bottoms of the piston rods of the two synchronous lifting cylinders are fixedly installed at the top of the rotary displacement mechanism.

[0010] In any of the above embodiments, preferably, the rotary displacement mechanism includes a horizontally arranged rotary bearing. The top of the fixed part of the rotary bearing is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston rods of the two synchronous lifting cylinders above it. A horizontal connecting seat is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating part of the rotary bearing. Bidirectional telescopic cylinders are fixedly installed in the two relatively parallel and spaced mounting holes of the horizontal connecting seat. The two bidirectional telescopic cylinders are in a synchronous telescopic state when working. A telescopic piston rod is provided at both ends of the bidirectional telescopic cylinder. A negative pressure drainage component is fixedly installed on the left piston rod of the two bidirectional telescopic cylinders. The two negative pressure drainage components together form the negative pressure drainage assembly.

[0011] In any of the above embodiments, it is preferred that the negative pressure drainage component includes a support bracket fixedly installed at the corresponding ends of the two bidirectional telescopic cylinders, a vertically arranged micro-adjustment cylinder is installed on the top of the support bracket, the bottom of the piston rod of the micro-adjustment cylinder extends movably to the bottom of the support bracket and is fixedly connected to a C-shaped seat, a vertically arranged negative pressure suction nozzle is fixedly installed at the bottom of the C-shaped seat, and the negative pressure suction nozzle is connected to an external negative pressure pump through a configuration pipeline.

[0012] In any of the above embodiments, it is preferred that the drive unit includes a motor mounting bracket fixedly installed at the right end of the horizontal frame, a drive motor is fixedly installed inside the motor mounting bracket, and the motor shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the right end of the bidirectional lead screw and is used to drive the bidirectional lead screw to rotate forward and backward.

[0013] In any of the above solutions, it is preferred that the drive motor is a waterproof servo motor.

[0014] In any of the above solutions, it is preferred that the bidirectional lead screw is a trapezoidal lead screw.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This device offers highly flexible installation options. It can be directly installed on the workshop ceiling above the anode green billet conveyor line, utilizing the existing workshop structure for fixation; alternatively, a separate mounting frame can be constructed for independent installation based on the actual workshop space and equipment distribution. This feature allows the device to easily integrate into production workshops of different types and layouts without requiring large-scale modifications to workshop facilities, reducing installation and time costs and quickly meeting production needs.

[0017] 2. Customized drainage strategies are provided to meet different needs regarding charcoal bowl size and drainage efficiency. For smaller charcoal bowls, one negative pressure suction nozzle can be used per bowl, simultaneously draining multiple rows of bowls. When dealing with larger bowls with more accumulated water, two negative pressure suction nozzles can be adjusted to work on a single bowl simultaneously, improving drainage efficiency. This versatility greatly expands the device's applicability, effectively handling charcoal bowls of various sizes and production rhythms.

[0018] 3. In complex operating conditions where the charcoal bowls are large and accumulate a lot of water, an innovative dual negative pressure suction nozzle system is adopted to simultaneously absorb water from one charcoal bowl. Compared to traditional drainage methods, this system can absorb more water per unit time, significantly reducing the drainage time for a single charcoal bowl. During continuous operation of the production line, this efficient drainage operation reduces equipment downtime, accelerates the production cycle, significantly improves overall production efficiency, and brings higher capacity to the company.

[0019] 4. Ensures excellent drainage: Effectively avoids the water splashing problem that easily occurs in traditional drainage processes. When draining large charcoal bowls using the dual negative pressure suction nozzles, precise operation control prevents water from splashing onto adjacent charcoal bowls due to suction force, ensuring that the drainage effect of each charcoal bowl is not disturbed. This helps improve the quality stability of subsequent processing steps for the charcoal bowls, reduces product defects or defect rates caused by improper drainage, and guarantees product quality.

[0020] 5. Ensuring Stable Equipment Operation: The device is securely fixed by four hanging columns, effectively resisting vibration, external impacts, and other interference factors during operation. This stable structural design ensures the reliability of the device throughout the drainage operation, avoiding component damage or positional shifts caused by shaking or instability. This reduces the frequency of equipment failures, provides a solid hardware foundation for the continuous and stable operation of drainage work, and lowers equipment maintenance costs.

[0027] The embodiments of the present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present utility model, and are therefore merely examples and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model. The specific structure of the present utility model is as follows: Figures 1-4 As shown in the image.

[0028] Example 1: A novel carbon bowl drainage device for an anode forming production line includes a hanging and translating mechanism. Hanging columns 1, fixedly installed at the four corners of the top of the hanging and translating mechanism and fixed to the external structure, are respectively installed. Lifting components are installed at the bottom of the two opposing main sliding seats 2 of the hanging and translating mechanism. A rotary displacement mechanism is installed at the bottom of each lifting component. Each rotary displacement mechanism is positioned above the corresponding anode green conveyor line and directly opposite the carbon bowl. A negative pressure drainage component is installed at the bottom of each rotary displacement mechanism. The negative pressure drainage component is connected to an external negative pressure pump through a matching pipeline. The rotary displacement mechanism controls the negative pressure drainage component below it to drain water from one or two carbon bowls simultaneously.

[0029] The novel anode forming production line carbon bowl drainage device of this utility model is installed directly on the workshop ceiling above the current anode green blank conveyor line or on a separate fixed frame. After installation, the stability of the entire device is ensured by the fixed hanging action of four hanging columns 1. When it is necessary to drain the carbon bowl at the current position, the hanging translation mechanism is activated. When the hanging translation mechanism is running, the two main sliding seats 2 on it can be driven to move closer or closer to each other by the action of the bidirectional screw 4, so as to control the interval distance between the two lifting components. The purpose of adjusting the interval distance is to match the interval size of the two adjacent anode green blank conveyor lines, so that the negative pressure drainage component below the rotary displacement mechanism at the bottom of the lifting component can be directly above the carbon bowl of the current anode green blank conveyor line. Thus, when draining the carbon bowl in the future, the lifting component can be directly controlled to descend to the appropriate position, and then cooperate with the external supporting pipeline and external negative pressure pump to achieve rapid negative pressure drainage.

[0030] In any of the above embodiments, preferably, the suspension and translation mechanism includes a horizontal frame 3, with suspension columns 1 fixed at the four top corners of the horizontal frame 3, and a bidirectional lead screw 4 installed inside the horizontal frame 3. The external threads on the left and right sides of the bidirectional lead screw 4 rotate in opposite directions, and both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 4 pass through through holes on the corresponding ends of the horizontal frame 3 via stepped shafts 5. A drive unit is fixedly installed at the right end of the horizontal frame 3, and the drive unit is used to drive the bidirectional lead screw 4 to rotate in both directions. The main sliding seats 2 are screwed onto the outer side walls on the left and right sides of the bidirectional lead screw 4, and the two main sliding seats 2 move relative to each other or in opposite directions during operation.

[0031] The core function of the suspension and translation mechanism is to precisely adjust the distance between the two main sliding seats 2. On the anode green body conveyor line, the spacing between adjacent conveyor lines may differ. By controlling the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 4 through the drive unit, the two main sliding seats 2 can be moved closer or further apart according to actual needs. In this way, the lifting assembly installed at the bottom of the main sliding seats 2 and the final negative pressure drainage assembly can be accurately positioned to align with the carbon bowls on the anode green body conveyor lines with different spacing, ensuring that the drainage device can adapt to diverse production line layouts.

[0032] The suspension and translation mechanism works in conjunction with the rest of the drainage system. When drainage of the charcoal bowl is required, the position of the main sliding seat 2 is first adjusted using the suspension and translation mechanism. Then, the lifting assembly is activated, controlling the negative pressure drainage assembly to descend to the appropriate drainage height. During the drainage process, depending on the size of the charcoal bowl and the required drainage efficiency, the rotary displacement mechanism and the negative pressure drainage assembly will further work together to complete the efficient drainage task of the charcoal bowl.

[0033] In any of the above embodiments, it is preferred that the lifting assembly has two synchronous lifting cylinders 6 arranged at intervals, the tops of the two synchronous lifting cylinders 6 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the main sliding seat 2, and the bottoms of the piston rods of the two synchronous lifting cylinders 6 are fixedly installed on the top of the rotary displacement mechanism.

[0034] The synchronous lifting cylinder 6 in the lifting assembly functions after the main sliding seat 2 is adjusted to a horizontal position. Through the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the synchronous lifting cylinder 6, the rotary displacement mechanism and the negative pressure drainage assembly installed at its bottom are vertically raised and lowered, ensuring it accurately reaches the height of the charcoal bowl and prepares for subsequent drainage operations. The synchronicity of the synchronous lifting cylinder 6 ensures the horizontality of the negative pressure drainage assembly during the lifting process, preventing poor drainage due to tilting.

[0035] Example 2: Compared with Example 1, this example also includes the following technical features:

[0036] In any of the above embodiments, preferably, the rotary displacement mechanism includes a horizontally arranged rotary support 7. The top of the fixed part of the rotary support 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston rods of the two synchronous lifting cylinders 6 above it. A horizontal connecting seat 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating part of the rotary support 7. Two bidirectional telescopic cylinders 9 are fixedly installed in the two relatively parallel and spaced mounting holes of the horizontal connecting seat 8. The two bidirectional telescopic cylinders 9 are in a synchronous telescopic state when working. A telescopic piston rod is provided at both the left and right ends of the bidirectional telescopic cylinders 9. A negative pressure drainage component is fixedly installed on the left piston rod of the two bidirectional telescopic cylinders 9. The two negative pressure drainage components together form the negative pressure drainage assembly.

[0037] The slewing bearing 7 of the slewing and shifting mechanism allows the entire mechanism to rotate horizontally, facilitating multi-angle alignment of the negative pressure drainage component with the charcoal bowl. The bidirectional telescopic cylinder 9 extends and retracts synchronously, adjusting the distance between the two negative pressure drainage components to achieve different drainage methods depending on the size of the charcoal bowl. For example, when the charcoal bowl is small, each of the two negative pressure drainage components corresponds to one bowl; when the charcoal bowl is large, the bidirectional telescopic cylinder 9 adjusts so that both negative pressure drainage components act simultaneously on one bowl. When drainage of the charcoal bowl is required, firstly, the suspending and shifting mechanism adjusts the horizontal position of the main sliding seat 2. Then, the lifting component is activated to bring the negative pressure drainage component to the appropriate height. Next, the slewing and shifting mechanism adjusts the spacing and angle of the negative pressure drainage components according to the size of the charcoal bowl. Finally, under the action of the negative pressure pump, the negative pressure drainage component completes efficient drainage of the charcoal bowl. Throughout the entire process, all mechanisms work together to meet drainage needs under different working conditions.

[0038] In any of the above embodiments, the preferred embodiment is that the negative pressure drainage component includes a support bracket 10 fixedly installed at the corresponding ends of the two bidirectional telescopic cylinders 9, a vertically arranged micro-adjustment cylinder 11 installed on the top of the support bracket 10, the bottom of the piston rod of the micro-adjustment cylinder 11 movably protruding to the bottom of the support bracket 10 and fixedly connected to a C-shaped seat 12, and a vertically arranged negative pressure suction nozzle 13 fixedly installed at the bottom of the C-shaped seat 12, the negative pressure suction nozzle 13 being connected to an external negative pressure pump through a configuration pipeline.

[0039] An external negative pressure pump provides negative pressure to the negative pressure suction nozzle 13 through a pipeline. When the negative pressure suction nozzle 13 is aligned with the charcoal bowl, it can absorb and drain the water accumulated inside the charcoal bowl. The micro-adjustment cylinder 11 ensures good contact between the negative pressure suction nozzle 13 and the charcoal bowl even when there are slight differences in the height of different charcoal bowls, thus improving drainage efficiency and effect.

[0040] In any of the above embodiments, it is preferred that the drive unit includes a motor mounting bracket 14 fixedly installed at the right end of the horizontal frame 3, and a drive motor 15 is fixedly installed inside the motor mounting bracket 14. The motor shaft of the drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to the right end of the bidirectional lead screw 4 and is used to drive the bidirectional lead screw 4 to rotate forward and backward.

[0041] On the anode green body conveyor line, the spacing between adjacent conveyor lines may differ. By driving the motor 15, the bidirectional lead screw 4 is rotated, allowing the two main sliding seats 2 to move closer or further apart according to actual needs. In this way, the lifting assembly installed at the bottom of the main sliding seat 2 and the final negative pressure drainage assembly can be accurately adjusted to face the carbon bowls on the anode green body conveyor lines with different spacing, ensuring that the drainage device can adapt to diverse production line layouts.

[0042] In any of the above solutions, it is preferred that the drive motor 15 is a waterproof servo motor.

[0043] In this drainage device, the bidirectional lead screw 4 needs to precisely control the movement distance of the main sliding seat 2 to match the anode green billet conveying lines with different intervals. The waterproof servo motor can precisely adjust the rotation angle and speed of the bidirectional lead screw 4 according to the control command, so that the main sliding seat 2 can quickly and accurately reach the designated position, ensuring that the lifting component and negative pressure drainage component installed at its bottom can accurately align with the carbon bowl, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the drainage operation.

[0044] In terms of durability, the waterproof servo motor is made of high-quality materials and has a robust structure. In the vibrating working environment of an anodizing production line, ordinary motors may experience internal component loosening or damage due to vibration. However, the excellent shock and impact resistance of the waterproof servo motor ensures stable operation even under the vibrations generated during production line operation, providing a solid guarantee for the reliable operation of the entire drainage system, further reducing the risk of equipment failure and maintaining production stability.

[0045] In any of the above schemes, it is preferred that the bidirectional lead screw 4 is a trapezoidal lead screw.

[0046] For the drainage device, this ensures that the main sliding seat 2 moves precisely into position each time, allowing the negative pressure drainage component to be accurately aligned with the charcoal bowl. When high accuracy is required for charcoal bowl drainage, such as when the charcoal bowl is small or when there are strict requirements for the drainage position, the high-precision positioning characteristics of the planetary ball screw can effectively avoid drainage problems or failure to drain due to positional deviations, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of the drainage operation.

[0047] Trapezoidal lead screws have a trapezoidal thread profile with a large thread angle and high root strength. During long-term use, compared to other lead screws, trapezoidal lead screws are more wear-resistant and can withstand frequent position adjustments by the drainage system. This means that during the long-term operation of the anode green billet conveyor line, trapezoidal lead screws can maintain stable performance, reduce accuracy degradation and failure frequency caused by wear, improve the overall reliability and stability of the equipment, and reduce maintenance and replacement costs.

[0048] When draining water, this device can be used in two types of workshop installation environments. The first type is when the charcoal bowl is small and a normal drainage rate is required. The second type is when the charcoal bowl is larger and a higher drainage efficiency is required.

[0049] Firstly, when the charcoal bowl is small, this device uses a lifting component to control the hanging and translating mechanism to descend to a suitable position. When the hanging and translating mechanism moves down, it will drive the negative pressure drainage component at its bottom to move down. Since the negative pressure drainage component is composed of two oppositely arranged negative pressure suction nozzles 13, it will move down with them. Under this condition, each negative pressure suction nozzle 13 can extend into the interior of a corresponding charcoal bowl, and each negative pressure suction nozzle 13 can perform negative pressure adsorption and drainage of the water inside a charcoal bowl.

[0050] This drainage method enables the negative pressure drainage components under each main sliding seat 2 to simultaneously drain the water inside the carbon bowls on the two rows of anode green body conveying lines below them. In other words, the four negative pressure suction nozzles 13 under the two main sliding seats 2 can simultaneously perform negative pressure adsorption and drainage of the water inside the four rows of carbon bowls.

[0051] The second installation method and applicable conditions are as follows: When the charcoal bowl is large and there is a lot of water inside, this device uses a lifting component to control the hanging and sliding mechanism to descend to a suitable position. When the hanging and sliding mechanism moves down, it will drive the negative pressure drainage component at the bottom to move down. Since the negative pressure drainage component is composed of two oppositely arranged negative pressure suction nozzles 13, it will move down with it. At this time, the extension and retraction of both ends of the rotary sliding mechanism is controlled to adjust and control the two negative pressure suction nozzles 13 to converge. This allows the two negative pressure suction nozzles 13 that are close to each other to move down at the same time and extend into the interior of the same large-sized charcoal bowl, ultimately achieving the simultaneous adsorption of one charcoal bowl by two negative pressure suction nozzles 13, thus improving drainage efficiency.

[0052] In the second usage environment, the negative pressure drainage component under each main sliding seat 2 enables the double negative pressure suction nozzles 13 to simultaneously absorb the water inside the carbon bowls on the single row of anode green body conveying line below it. That is, the four negative pressure suction nozzles 13 under the two main sliding seats 2 can simultaneously perform negative pressure adsorption and drainage of the water inside the two rows of carbon bowls.

[0053] The second installation method effectively ensures drainage efficiency, while also avoiding the problem of water splashing and affecting the drainage of water inside the carbon bowls on the adjacent two rows of anode green blank conveying lines, which is a problem that occurs in traditional drainage processes. This effectively improves the efficiency and effect of drainage.

[0054] Overall, the suspension and translation mechanism, relying on the bidirectional lead screw 4 to drive the two main sliding seats 2 to move closer or further apart, adjusts the interval between the two lifting components to match the interval size of adjacent anode green body conveying lines, ensuring that the negative pressure drainage component below the rotary displacement mechanism is directly above the carbon bowl. Simultaneously, the lifting components control the lifting of the entire device, allowing the negative pressure drainage component to reach the appropriate drainage position.

[0055] During drainage, the negative pressure drainage assembly is connected to an external negative pressure pump through a matching pipeline, utilizing the principle of negative pressure to absorb and drain the water accumulated in the charcoal bowls. This assembly consists of two opposing negative pressure suction nozzles 13, which can achieve different drainage methods under different operating conditions. When the charcoal bowls are small, each negative pressure suction nozzle 13 drains water from one bowl, and the four negative pressure suction nozzles 13 below the two main sliding seats 2 can simultaneously drain water from four rows of charcoal bowls. When the charcoal bowls are large and have a lot of accumulated water, the rotating and opposing mechanism can be controlled to bring the two negative pressure suction nozzles 13 together, simultaneously extending into the same large-sized charcoal bowl for drainage. The four negative pressure suction nozzles 13 below the two main sliding seats 2 can simultaneously drain water from two rows of charcoal bowls.

[0056] The advantages of this device are analyzed as follows:

[0057] High installation flexibility: The device can be installed directly on the workshop ceiling above the anode green billet conveyor line, or a separate fixed frame can be set up to adapt to different workshop layouts and meet diverse installation needs.

[0058] Wide applicability: Two effective drainage methods are provided for different sizes of charcoal bowls and different drainage efficiency requirements. It is suitable for working conditions with small charcoal bowls and normal drainage speed, as well as for scenarios with large charcoal bowls and higher requirements for drainage efficiency, greatly expanding the applicability of the device.

[0059] High drainage efficiency: When the charcoal bowl is large and accumulates a lot of water, the simultaneous suction of one charcoal bowl by the dual negative pressure suction nozzles 13 significantly improves drainage efficiency. Compared with traditional drainage methods, it can complete the drainage task more quickly, reduce downtime on the production line, and improve overall production efficiency.

[0060] Excellent drainage: The second installation method effectively avoids the problem of water splashing between adjacent charcoal bowls during the traditional drainage process, ensuring the drainage effect of each charcoal bowl, guaranteeing product quality, and reducing subsequent production failures that may be caused by drainage problems.

[0061] High stability: The device is fixed and suspended by four hanging columns, which ensures the stability of the entire device during operation, provides a reliable guarantee for the smooth progress of drainage work, and reduces the adverse effects on drainage effect caused by device shaking or instability.
