Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolytic furnace technology, specifically to a discharge forming component for a rare earth electrolytic furnace. Background Technology

[0002] The principle of rare earth electrolysis furnace mainly involves using crude rare earth metal as a soluble anode and specially made pure rare earth metal as a cathode. Electrolysis is carried out by selecting a suitable electrolyte. This process utilizes the current passing through the crude rare earth metal rod to dissolve it, and then depositing it on the specially made cathode, thereby achieving the purpose of purifying the metal.

[0003] In existing technologies, the feeding and forming of large rare earth electrolytic furnaces generally begin by feeding the metal collector inside the furnace using a clamping structure, and then transporting the metal collector to the forming station for forming. For example, an automatic pot-unloading device for rare earth electrolytic metal disclosed in CN110965083A includes an electrolytic furnace, with a pot body for holding rare earth electrolytic metal inside the electrolytic furnace, and further includes: a pot clamping mechanism for clamping and fixing the pot body inside the electrolytic furnace; a displacement mechanism for moving the pot clamping mechanism; a positioning mechanism for positioning the pot body lifted by the pot clamping mechanism; and a tilting mechanism for tilting the pot body inside the positioning mechanism to pour the rare earth electrolytic metal into a mold box.

[0004] In the existing molding process, the clamping structure used to hold the crucible is directly connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the rotation of the motor drives the clamping structure to rotate in order to pour the molten metal. However, because the clamping structure is directly connected to the output shaft of the motor, the output shaft vibrates during the operation of the clamping structure, which leads to molten metal splashing, poor stability of the crucible during rotation, and reduced service life of the motor. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a discharge forming component for a rare earth electrolysis furnace.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0007] A rare earth electrolytic furnace discharge forming assembly includes a machine base, wherein the machine base is provided with a rotating clamping structure for clamping and rotating a crucible, and a forming receiving structure for receiving molten metal.

[0008] A rotary clamping structure includes a clamping module for clamping a crucible and a rotating module for driving the clamping module to rotate. The rotating module includes a rotating disk mounted on a machine base and a rotary drive unit for driving the rotating disk to rotate. The clamping module is mounted on the rotating disk.

[0009] The forming and receiving structure includes a forming box for receiving molten metal and a moving module for driving the forming box to move. The moving module includes a swing plate mounted on the machine base and a pushing unit for driving the swing plate to rotate.

[0010] Preferably, the clamping module includes a rotating arm connected to a rotating disk, a clamping cylinder mounted on the rotating arm, a first clamping piece connected to the output end of the clamping cylinder, a connecting plate connected to the rotating arm, and a second clamping piece mounted on the connecting plate. The first clamping piece and the second clamping piece form a clamping space for placing the crucible. With the above improvements, when the electrolysis components inside the furnace act on the oxide and electrolyte to generate liquid rare earth metal, which enters the crucible, the clamping structure is used to clamp the crucible into the clamping space. When the clamping cylinder moves the second clamping piece closer to the first clamping piece to clamp the crucible, the rotating disk drives the rotating arm to rotate to complete the pouring of the molten metal.

[0011] Preferably, the machine base is provided with a guide seat, and a rotating plate is rotated on the guide seat. The rotating plate is connected to the second clamping plate. Through the above improvements, the stability of the second clamping plate during rotation is further improved, thereby ensuring the stability of the crucible during the pouring of molten metal.

Through the above improvements, the support bracket can support the bottom of the crucible, thereby improving the stability of the crucible during transportation.

[0013] Preferably, the support bracket includes a support portion, and a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod disposed on the support portion. The first connecting rod is connected to a connecting plate, and the second connecting rod is connected to a second clamping piece.

[0014] Preferably, the rotating arm is also connected to a guide plate, and a guide sleeve is provided on the guide plate. The first clamping piece is inserted into the guide sleeve. Through the above improvements, the stability of the first clamping piece during the sliding process is improved, thereby further improving the clamping effect on the crucible.

[0015] Preferably, the machine base is provided with a transmission seat, the rotating disk is mounted on the transmission seat, and the drive end of the rotary drive unit is inserted into the transmission seat and forms a transmission connection with the rotating disk. Through the above improvements, the rotary drive unit drives the rotating disk to rotate, and the clamping module is set on the rotating disk to improve the stability of the molten metal during the pouring process.

[0016] Preferably, a fixed plate is provided on the machine base, a rotating seat is inserted into the fixed plate, and the swing plate is rotated on the rotating seat. The moving end of the swing plate is connected to a limiting plate, the forming box is placed on the limiting plate, and the driving end of the swing plate is connected to the moving end of the pushing unit. Through the above improvements, the pushing unit drives the swing plate to rotate on the fixed plate, so that the forming box can move to receive materials or avoid the gripper structure of the crucible.

[0017] Preferably, the swing plate is provided with a guide wheel, and the guide wheel abuts against the fixed plate. Through the above improvements, the smoothness and stability of the swing plate during rotation are enhanced.

[0018] Preferably, the limiting plate is composed of several limiting blocks, and the limiting blocks abut against the outer contour of the molding box. Through the above improvements, the reliability and stability of the molding box placement are enhanced.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] It should be understood that although the terms upper, middle, lower, top, one end, etc., appear in this document to describe various elements, these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the elements from each other for ease of understanding, and are not used to define any directional or sequential restrictions.

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a rare earth electrolytic furnace discharge forming component includes a machine base 1, on which a rotating clamping structure 2 for clamping and rotating a crucible is provided, and a forming receiving structure 3 for receiving molten metal.

[0030] Specifically, the rotary clamping structure 2 includes a clamping module 1.1 for clamping the crucible and a rotating module 1.2 for driving the clamping module 1.1 to rotate. The rotating module 1.2 includes a rotating disk 2.2 mounted on the machine base 1 and a rotary drive unit 2.1 for driving the rotating disk 2.2 to rotate. The clamping module 1.1 is mounted on the rotating disk 2.2.

[0031] Furthermore, the forming receiving structure 3 includes a forming box 1.3 for receiving molten metal, and a moving module 1.4 for driving the forming box 1.3 to move. The moving module 1.4 includes a swing plate 2.3 mounted on the machine base 1, and a pushing unit 2.4 for driving the swing plate 2.3 to rotate.

[0032] Throughout the entire material unloading and forming process, the crucible is removed from the electrolytic furnace using a gripper structure, and the crucible containing electrolyte is placed on the clamping module 1.1. The clamping module 1.1 clamps and fixes the crucible. The rotation drive unit 2.1 drives the rotating disk 2.2 to rotate, causing the molten metal in the crucible to be poured into the forming box 1.3 for forming. When the gripper structure is transferring the crucible, the push unit 2.4 drives the swing plate 2.3 away from the clamping module 1.1 to avoid the gripper structure. When pouring the molten metal, the push unit 2.4 drives the swing plate 2.3 closer to the clamping module 1.1 to receive the material.

[0033] This application uses a rotating disk 2.2 to drive the clamping module 1.1 to rotate. Compared with the prior art, which directly connects the clamping module 1.1 to the output shaft of the motor, this significantly improves the stability of the clamping module 1.1 during the clamping of the crucible and the stability during rotation, and also extends the service life of the rotary drive unit 2.1.

[0035] When the electrolysis components inside the furnace act on the oxides and electrolytes to produce liquid rare earth metal, it enters the crucible. The crucible is then gripped into the clamping space 3.6 by the gripping structure. When the clamping cylinder 3.2 drives the second clamping plate 3.5 to approach the first clamping plate 3.3, it clamps the crucible. The rotating disk 2.2 drives the rotating arm 3.1 to rotate to complete the pouring of the molten metal.

[0036] Specifically, a support bracket 4.1 is connected below the connecting plate 3.4, and the bracket is located below the clamping space 3.6. The support bracket 4.1 can support the bottom of the crucible, improving the stability of the crucible during the transfer process.

The first clamping piece 3.3 is inserted into the guide sleeve 5.2, which improves the stability of the first clamping piece 3.3 during the sliding process, thereby further improving the clamping effect on the crucible.

The rotary drive unit 2.1 drives the rotating disk 2.2 to rotate, and the clamping module 1.1 is set on the rotating disk 2.2 to improve the stability of the molten metal during the pouring process.

[0041] Specifically, a transmission gear set is provided inside the transmission base 5.3. The output end of the rotary drive unit 2.1 is connected to the input end of the transmission gear set, and the output end of the transmission gear set is connected to the rotating disk 2.2 to further improve the stability of the rotating disk 2.2 during rotation.

The driving end of the swing plate 2.3 is connected to the moving end of the pushing unit 2.4. The pushing unit 2.4 drives the swing plate 2.3 to rotate on the fixed plate 6.1, so that the forming box 1.3 can move to receive materials or avoid the gripper structure of the crucible.

[0043] Preferably, a limiting groove 6.6 is formed on the machine base 1, and the swing plate 2.3 is rotated into the limiting groove 6.6 to limit the rotation stroke of the swing plate 2.3.
