Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of residual electrolyte cleaning technology, and in particular to an electrolyte horizontal cleaning machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the electrolytic aluminum process, the anode carbon block is gradually consumed during electrolysis. At the same time, the electrolyte layer adheres to the surface of the anode carbon block during electrolysis, affecting the electrolysis effect. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the electrolyte adhering to the surface of the anode and recycle the removed electrolyte for reuse.
[0003] Existing cleaning machines typically clean the anode guide rod by scraping it to remove the electrolyte. However, some electrolyte may still adhere to areas that were not scraped, preventing complete removal and affecting the next stage of cleaning. Utility Model Content

Each of the two cleaning frames has a steel claw positioning mechanism and a crushing mechanism on its lower side, and the steel claw positioning mechanism is located above the crushing mechanism.
[0007] The crushing mechanism includes a mounting frame, on the upper side of which are three horizontally arranged hydraulic breaker hammers. The lower end of the mounting frame is provided with two movable guide rails fixed to the top of the cleaning base.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0026] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an electrolyte horizontal cleaning machine includes a cleaning base 7, with two opposing cleaning frames 6 on the top of the cleaning base 7. A guide rod moving channel 5 for passing through an electrode guide rod 1 is provided between the two cleaning frames 6. Each cleaning frame 6 has a clamping mechanism 2 on its top for clamping the upper side of the electrode guide rod 1. The machine also includes two crushing mechanisms 4 for hammering and cleaning the electrolyte attached to the lower end of the electrode guide rod 1 and two steel claw positioning mechanisms 3 for aligning the electrode guide rod 1 with the crushing mechanisms 4. Each of the two cleaning frames 6 has a steel claw positioning mechanism 3 and a crushing mechanism 4 on its lower side, and the steel claw positioning mechanism 3 is located above the crushing mechanism 4.
[0027] In this embodiment: the crushing mechanism 4 includes a mounting frame 44, three horizontally arranged hydraulic breaker hammers 42 are fixed on the upper side of the mounting frame 44, and two movable guide rails 43 fixed to the top of the cleaning base 7 are provided at the lower end of the mounting frame 44. A movable hydraulic cylinder 41 is provided at the bottom of the mounting frame 44 for pushing the three hydraulic breaker hammers 42 toward the electrode guide rod 1. The movable hydraulic cylinder 41 pushes the mounting frame 44 to move along the movable guide rails 43 toward the electrode guide rod 1, and the electrolyte attached to the electrode guide rod 1 is crushed by the six hydraulic breaker hammers 42 on the two mounting frames 44.
[0028] In this embodiment: the steel claw positioning mechanism 3 includes a positioning steel claw 35, with a second positioning seat 36 hinged to the upper end of the positioning steel claw 35. A pusher connecting rod 34 is hinged to the lower end of the positioning steel claw 35 away from the guide rod moving channel 5. A swing connecting rod 33 is hinged to the upper end of the pusher connecting rod 34. A steel claw hydraulic cylinder 32 is provided at the hinge position between the pusher connecting rod 34 and the pusher connecting rod 35 to push them together or apart. A first positioning seat 31 is hinged to the upper end of the steel claw hydraulic cylinder 32. Both the first positioning seat 31 and the second positioning seat 36 are... The first positioning seat 31 is located above the second positioning seat 36 and the first positioning seat 31 is fixed at the cleaning frame 6 near the guide rod moving channel 5. The swing connecting rod 33 is hinged to a third positioning seat 37 at one end. The third positioning seat 37 is fixed at the end of the cleaning frame 6 away from the guide rod moving channel 5. The swing connecting rod 33 and the push claw connecting rod 34 are pushed to extend by the telescopic part of the steel claw hydraulic cylinder 32, so that the positioning steel claw 35 is rotated around the second positioning seat 36. Then, the lower ends of the two positioning steel claws 35 clamp and position the electrode guide rod 1.
[0029] In this embodiment: the clamping mechanism 2 includes a clamping seat 23, on which two symmetrical rotating rods 21 are rotatably connected. Two meshing gears 22 are provided on the upper part of the rotating rods 21 near the clamping seat 23, and the two gears 22 are respectively fixed on the outside of the two rotating rods 21. A flipping frame 26 is fixed on the outside of any rotating rod 21. The flipping frame 26 is located below the gear 22. A clamping hydraulic cylinder 24 is hinged to the end of the flipping frame 26 away from the rotating rod 21. A clamping rod 25 perpendicular to the axis of the rotating rod 21 is fixed on the lower side of the gear 22. The gear 22 has a semi-circular structure, and the semi-circular end face of the gear 22 coincides with the axis of the clamping rod 25. The extension part of the clamping hydraulic cylinder 24 pushes the flipping frame 26 to drive the rotating rod 21 connected to it to rotate. At this time, the two rotating rods 21 rotate against each other through the meshing of the two gears 22, and then the clamping rod 25 on the two rotating rods 21 clamps and fixes the upper end of the electrode guide rod 1.
[0030] Working principle: During use, the electrode guide rod 1 is moved into the guide rod moving channel 5 between the two cleaning frames 6 by the suspension system. After the upper side of the electrode guide rod 1 moves to the position of the clamping seat 23, the telescopic part of the clamping hydraulic cylinder 24 pushes the flipping frame 26 to drive the rotating rod 21 connected to it to rotate. At this time, the two rotating rods 21 rotate against each other by the meshing of the two gears 22, and then the clamping rods 25 on the two rotating rods 21 clamp and fix the upper end of the electrode guide rod 1.
[0031] At this time, the extension and retraction parts of the two steel claw hydraulic cylinders 32 push the swinging connecting rod 33 and the push claw connecting rod 34 connected to them. Through the extension of the two sets of push claw connecting rods 34 and swing connecting rods 33, the two positioning steel claws 35 are flipped downward with their upper second positioning seats 36 as the center. Then, the lower end of the positioning steel claws 35 clamps and positions the electrode guide rod 1. Subsequently, the two moving hydraulic cylinders 41 push their respective mounting frames 44 to move along the moving guide rail 43 towards the electrode guide rod 1. Then, the six hydraulic breakers 42 on the two mounting frames 44 press against the position of the electrolyte attached to the electrode guide rod 1. At the same time, the hydraulic breakers 42 start to hammer and break the electrolyte on the electrode guide rod 1. During this process, the three hydraulic breakers 42 on their respective upper sides move closer to each other to break the attached electrolyte.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
