Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a centering mechanism, specifically to a centering mechanism with quick positioning. BACKGROUND
[0002] In order to facilitate the assembly of carbon block and prevent the filling material from falling into the electrolytic cell to affect the quality of primary aluminum, the filling material adhered to the surface of the carbon block must be cleaned before the carbon block is transferred to the next process, and the baking layer cleaned is recycled; because the recycling prices of carbon block and baking layer are different, and the recycling price of the base material is several times of the baking layer.
[0003] Each carbon block can weigh several tons, if manual cleaning is used, the labor intensity of workers is large, the production efficiency is low, and the working environment is seriously polluted, therefore, mechanical cleaning is usually used in a cleaning line.
[0004] In the prior art, before the carbon block is cleaned by using a machine, the uncleaned carbon block is hoisted to a feeding mechanism by using a crane, and the carbon block is cleaned after the position of the carbon block is centered with the cleaning mechanism on the cleaning line, therefore, each carbon block hoisted on the feeding mechanism needs to be centered, but the limiting mechanism in contact with the carbon block is usually provided with edges during the operation of the existing centering mechanism, when the edge on the limiting mechanism is in contact with the carbon block, the carbon block is easily damaged, thereby causing economic loss.
