Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of graphite electrode technology, specifically to a graphite electrode connector mounting structure. Background Technology
[0002] In steelmaking using graphite electrodes, the installation and fixation of the graphite electrode joints are crucial and directly affect electric arc furnace steelmaking production. For example, in the graphite electrode joint anti-loosening structure disclosed in Chinese patent literature (application number: CN202121590606.7), a fixing pin is used to fix the electrode body and prevent it from falling off. However, the fixing pins are attached to the bottom of the adhesive layer by the melting of the adhesive when heated, thus fixing the electrode body. If the adhesive continues to be heated after positioning the fixing pins or during the fixing process, the adhesive will melt, affecting the stability of the fixation of the electrode body.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

When the positioning sleeve is tightened, the bottom of the inner wall of the positioning sleeve contacts the upper outer side of the first arc-shaped fixing plate and the second arc-shaped fixing plate. By cooperating with the second inclined surface, the first arc-shaped fixing plate and the second arc-shaped fixing plate are squeezed. When the first arc-shaped fixing plate and the second arc-shaped fixing plate are squeezed, the fixing ring on the joint is pressed, and the joint is quickly fixed.
[0012] 2. After being compressed, the second inclined surface on the inner wall of the first and second arc-shaped fixing plates cooperates to form a conical inclined surface to fix the fixing ring. The upper width of the fourth inclined surface on the fixing ring is smaller than the lower width.
