Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of titanium and titanium alloy electrode technology, and specifically relates to an electrode flipping structure. Background Technology
[0002] Titanium and its alloys are frequently used as electrode materials due to their strong corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, good machinability, and excellent electrocatalytic performance, especially in chlorine-containing electrolytes. Industrial processing often requires large electrodes, which frequently involve cutting multiple surfaces. By flipping the electrode, different surfaces can be exposed to the processing equipment, facilitating electrode machining.
[0003] Patent document CN214166468U discloses an electrode tilting device. This device includes a support, a tilting block platform hinged to the support via a pivot for holding multiple electrodes, a clamping arm mounted on the tilting block platform via a swing arm, a clamping hydraulic cylinder hinged to the tilting block platform with its cylinder rod end hinged to the swing arm to move the clamping arm closer to and clamp the electrode, or to move the clamping arm away from the electrode to release the clamping state, and a tilting hydraulic cylinder hinged to the frame with its cylinder rod end hinged to the tilting block platform to switch the clamped electrodes on the tilting block platform between horizontal and vertical states. This device can complete the grouping or ungrouping of multiple electrodes in a single operation, significantly improving production efficiency while ensuring safety. Because the clamping arm of the device, which is mounted on the flipping block platform via a swing arm, is clamped at the end of the electrode, for larger electrodes, only one end is constrained when the electrode is flipped from horizontal to vertical. Due to inertia, the electrode tends to continue flipping. Furthermore, since the clamping arm is clamped at one end of the electrode, there is a risk that the electrode will detach from the flipping frame during the flipping process.
[0004] In summary, existing electrode flipping devices pose a risk of electrodes detaching from the flipping frame. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an electrode flipping structure that addresses the shortcomings of the prior art. The structure is novel and reasonable, simple, safe, and easy to promote and use.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] An electrode flipping structure includes a support structure beam, a flipping hydraulic cylinder, and a support base disposed above the support structure beam.
[0008] The middle part of the support base is rotatably connected to the support structure beam, and its rotation axis coincides with the center of gravity of the electrode; the piston end of the tilting hydraulic cylinder is connected to the support base, and its cylinder end is connected to the support structure beam. The switching between the vertical and horizontal states of the support base is controlled by the extension and retraction of the tilting hydraulic cylinder.
[0009] A baffle is provided at one end of the support base, and clamping components are provided on both sides of the support base away from the end of the baffle, which are used to fix the relative position of the electrode and the support base when the electrode is flipped.
[0010] The clamping assembly includes an L-shaped connecting arm, a first hydraulic cylinder, a second hydraulic cylinder, and a connecting plate fixedly connected to the support base. The bend of the L-shaped connecting arm is rotatably connected to the connecting plate via a connecting shaft, which is perpendicular to the length direction of the electrode. One end of the L-shaped connecting arm is rotatably connected to a pressure rod, and the other end is connected to the piston end of the first hydraulic cylinder. The first hydraulic cylinder is positioned below the L-shaped connecting arm parallel to the length direction of the electrode, and its extension and retraction control the downward and upward rotation of the L-shaped connecting arm. The cylinder end of the second hydraulic cylinder is connected to the side wall of the L-shaped connecting arm, and the piston end of the second hydraulic cylinder is connected to the side wall of the pressure rod. The extension and retraction of the second hydraulic cylinder controls the switching between the pressure rod being perpendicular to the electrode length and parallel to the electrode length direction.
[0011] Furthermore, a manual operation platform is provided on one side of the support base for processing the electrodes.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a primary safety barrier and a secondary safety barrier; the primary safety barrier is installed outside the support base and the support structure beam, and the secondary safety barrier is installed outside the primary safety barrier and the manual operation platform.
[0013] Furthermore, both the primary and secondary safety fences are equipped with touch alarm devices.
[0014] Furthermore, stable supports are evenly distributed along the length of the electrode on the support base to support the electrode.
[0015] Furthermore, the stabilizing support has a V-groove for stabilizing the supporting electrode.
[0016] Furthermore, the clamping component is located at 1 / 4 of the length of the support base.
[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a controller installed in the control cabinet, which is electrically connected to the tilting hydraulic cylinder, the first hydraulic cylinder, and the second hydraulic cylinder, respectively, and is used to control the extension and retraction of the tilting hydraulic cylinder, the first hydraulic cylinder, and the second hydraulic cylinder.
[0018] This utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0019] This invention achieves rotation of the support base relative to the supporting beam by rotatably connecting the middle part of the support base to the supporting beam. Simultaneously, a tilting hydraulic cylinder controls the rotation of the support base. A baffle is installed on the support base to support the vertically positioned electrode. Furthermore, clamping components are installed on both sides of the support base to eliminate the risk of the electrode detaching from the support base due to inertia during tilting. During electrode rotation, the portion away from the baffle generates an inertial force moving away from the support base, while the portion closer to the baffle generates an inertial force moving closer to the support base. This means that the portion of the electrode away from the baffle is at risk of detaching from the support base due to inertial force. Therefore, the clamping component is located at the end away from the baffle to ensure safety during electrode tilting. Specifically, the clamping component includes an L-shaped connecting arm and a pressure rod. Rotation of the L-shaped connecting arm raises the height of the pressure rod and causes it to rotate towards the electrode, thus pressing the electrode down. The two clamping components work together to achieve a clamping effect on the electrode, solving the risk of the electrode detaching from the tilting frame in existing electrode tilting devices.

[0033] Example of electrode flipping structure:
[0034] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the electrode flipping structure includes a supporting beam 1, a flipping hydraulic cylinder 2, and a supporting base 3 disposed above the supporting beam 1. Specifically, to ensure the stability of the electrode 9 flipping, the middle part of the supporting base 3 is rotatably connected to the supporting beam 1, and its rotation axis coincides with the center of gravity of the electrode 9. The piston end of the flipping hydraulic cylinder 2 is connected to the supporting base 3, and its cylinder end is connected to the supporting beam 1. The extension and retraction of the flipping hydraulic cylinder 2 controls the switching between the vertical and horizontal states of the supporting base 3. In this embodiment, as... Figure 2 As shown, the supporting structure beam 1 is set in the equipment pit 10 below the ground, and the equipment pit 10 can provide space for the electrode 9 to rotate. This arrangement can reduce the height requirements of the manual operation platform 5.
[0035] In order to better support the vertical electrode 9, a baffle 31 is provided at one end of the support base 3, and clamping components 4 are respectively provided on both sides of the support base 3 away from the end of the baffle 31, which are used to fix the relative position of the electrode 9 and the support base 3 when the electrode 9 is flipped.
[0036] The clamping assembly 4 includes an L-shaped connecting arm 41, a first hydraulic cylinder 43, a second hydraulic cylinder 44, and a connecting plate 45 fixedly connected to the support base 3. The purpose of the connecting plate 45 is to facilitate the connection of the L-shaped connecting arm 41 to the support base 3. The bend of the L-shaped connecting arm 41 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 45 via a connecting shaft, which is perpendicular to the length direction of the electrode 9. One end of the L-shaped connecting arm 41 is rotatably connected to a pressure rod 42, and the other end is connected to the piston end of the first hydraulic cylinder 43. The first hydraulic cylinder 43 is parallel to the length direction of the electrode 9 and is located below the L-shaped connecting arm 41. The extension and retraction of the first hydraulic cylinder 43 controls the downward and upward rotation of the L-shaped connecting arm 41. The cylinder end of the second hydraulic cylinder 44 is connected to the side wall of the L-shaped connecting arm 41, and the piston end of the second hydraulic cylinder 44 is connected to the side wall of the pressure rod 42. The extension and retraction of the second hydraulic rod 42 controls the switching between the pressure rod 42 being perpendicular to the length of the electrode 9 and parallel to the length direction of the electrode 9.
[0037] To facilitate the processing of the vertically positioned electrode 9, a manual operation platform 5 is provided on one side of the support base 3 for processing the electrode 9.
[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, to better ensure the safe operation of the flipping electrode 9 device, a primary safety barrier 6 and a secondary safety barrier 7 are also included. The primary safety barrier 6 is installed outside the support base 3 and the support structure beam 1, while the secondary safety barrier 7 is installed outside the primary safety barrier 6 and the manual operation platform 5. The hierarchical arrangement of safety barriers enables management of different safety levels, facilitating the work of operators.
[0039] To better ensure the safety of operators and equipment, both the primary safety barrier 6 and the secondary safety barrier 7 are equipped with touch alarm devices. These alarms alert operators and monitoring personnel to the current status of the equipment.
[0040] To prevent the electrode 9 from swaying left and right, stable supports 32 are evenly distributed along the length of the electrode 9 on the support base 3 to support the electrode 9. The stable supports 32 have V-shaped grooves to stabilize and support the electrode 9.
[0041] In order to better hold the vertically positioned electrode 9, the holding component 4 is set at 1 / 4 of the length of the support base 3, so as to prevent the electrode 9 from detaching from the support base 3 due to inertial force.
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to improve the automation level of the setup, a controller is also included in the control cabinet 8. The controller is electrically connected to the tilting hydraulic cylinder 2, the first hydraulic cylinder 43 and the second hydraulic cylinder 44 respectively, and is used to control the extension and retraction of the tilting hydraulic cylinder 2, the first hydraulic cylinder 43 and the second hydraulic cylinder 44, thereby saving the cost of manual step-by-step operation. Figure 3 Control cabinet 8 is not shown in the drawing.
[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the present utility model. Any simple modifications, alterations, or equivalent structural changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
