Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolytic aluminum technology, and in particular to a support structure for a shell-breaking cylinder. Background Technology

[0002] During electrolysis, a hard alumina crust forms on the surface of the molten electrolyte in the electrolytic cell due to heat dissipation. This alumina crust needs to be broken. The opening created after breaking the crust allows for the replenishment of alumina raw materials into the electrolytic cell, maintaining the supply of raw materials for the electrolytic reaction. The existing method of breaking the crust involves using a cylinder to drive a hammer or striking device to periodically break the crust and ensure the continuous electrolytic reaction. The breaking cylinder is connected to the upper end of the electrolytic cell via a support base. The breaking cylinder extends into the electrolytic cell to hammer the alumina crust. Because the alumina crust is relatively thick, the breaking cylinder cannot break it in one go. The position of the breaking cylinder needs to be continuously adjusted so that it gradually extends into the electrolytic cell to break the alumina crust.

[0003] The position of the shell-breaking cylinder is often adjusted by adjusting the internal structure of the support base. The support base has a sliding support block inside. The worker manually adjusts the position of the support block, thereby adjusting the height of the shell-breaking cylinder. Because the shell-breaking cylinder generates strong vibrations during operation, the vibrations continuously affect the connection position between the shell-breaking cylinder and the support block. After long-term use, the connection position between the shell-breaking cylinder and the support block is prone to damage. At the same time, the vibrations will cause the shell-breaking cylinder to shake during operation, affecting the shell-breaking quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the technical problems existing in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a support structure for a shell-breaking cylinder, which can make the shell-breaking cylinder more stably connected to the support base, while reducing the vibration of the shell-breaking cylinder during operation, making its striking process more efficient.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A support structure for a shell-breaking cylinder includes several support rods arranged around the shell-breaking cylinder, a support base, a connecting assembly, and a clamping member. The connecting assembly is disposed inside the support base and can slide inside the support base. The shell-breaking cylinder is connected to the connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes several protruding rods, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the shell-breaking cylinder. The clamping member includes a claw, which is connected to the inner side of the protruding rod and abuts against the support rod.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a support block and connecting blocks disposed on both sides of the support block, wherein the connecting blocks and the support block are detachably connected, the shell-breaking cylinder is connected to the support block, and the protruding rod is connected to the connecting block.

[0008] Preferably, the support base is provided with a plurality of through slots, the support block is disposed between opposite through slots, the connecting block is disposed in the through slot, and the connecting component is able to slide in the through slot along the direction of the through slot.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting assembly further includes a lead screw and a lead screw nut, the lead screw nut being connected to the connecting block, the lead screw passing through the support seat, and the lead screw and lead screw nut being configured to cooperate.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting assembly further includes a drive member, one end of the lead screw extending from the support base, the drive member being disposed on the support base, and the drive member being connected to the lead screw.

[0011] Preferably, the clamping member further includes an adjusting rod, the protruding rod being provided with an adjusting hole, the adjusting rod being slidably disposed in the adjusting hole, and one end of the adjusting rod abutting against the pawl.

[0012] Preferably, the claw includes several abutment joints and abutment blocks, the abutment joints being disposed around the abutment blocks, and the abutment joints and abutment blocks being interlocked.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0022] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example

[0024] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a support structure for a shell-breaking cylinder is provided. Several support rods 101 are arranged around the shell-breaking cylinder 1 to ensure the overall structural strength of the shell-breaking cylinder 1. The support structure includes a support base 2, a connecting assembly 3, and a clamping component. The support base 2 is bolted to the top of the electrolytic cell. The support base 2 is composed of several plates, and several through slots 21 are provided on the support base 2. The through slots 21 are located on the plates in the middle of the support base 2, extending from the left side to the right side of the support base 2. The connecting assembly 3 is slidably disposed at the position of the through slot 21 and can slide along the direction of the through slot 21.

[0025] like Figures 1-3As shown, the connecting component 3 includes several protruding rods 35, a driving component, a lead screw 34, a lead screw nut 33, a support block 31, and connecting blocks 32 disposed on both sides of the support block 31. The connecting blocks 32 and the support block 31 are detachably connected by bolts. The support block 31 is disposed between opposite through slots 21, and the connecting block 32 is disposed within the through slot 21. In the prior art, only the support block 31 is often designed. The support block 31 is embedded in the support seat 2, and the support block 31 and the support seat 2 are slidably connected. Since the shell-breaking cylinder 1 generates a large amount of dust during operation, the dust easily accumulates at the connection position between the support block 31 and the support seat 2, affecting the sliding of the support block 31. In this utility model, a through slot 21 is designed. Since the through slot 21 has a large shape, it can greatly avoid the accumulation of dust in the through slot 21, and also facilitates subsequent cleaning of the support structure. The shell-breaking cylinder 1 generates significant vibration during operation. If the connecting component 3 is a one-piece design, it is easily affected by vibration after prolonged use, leading to structural damage and making replacement difficult. The connecting block 32 and the support block 31 adopt a modular and detachable design, which facilitates disassembly and assembly while meeting normal structural strength requirements. In subsequent operations, if vibration causes the connecting block 32 or the support block 31 to break, it is easy to replace the damaged individual structure, greatly reducing the labor intensity of workers and saving costs.

[0026] like Figures 1-3As shown, the shell-breaking cylinder 1 is connected to the support block 31, which is located in the middle of the support base 2. When the support block 31 moves within the support base 2, the shell-breaking cylinder 1 and the support block 31 move synchronously. The lead screw 34 passes through the support base 2, with one end extending out of the support base 2 and able to rotate within it. One end of the lead screw nut 33 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 32, and the other end is fitted against the inner wall of the support base 2. The lead screw 34 and the lead screw nut 33 are fitted together, with the lead screw 34 passing through the middle of the lead screw nut 33. The position of the lead screw nut 33 is stabilized by the connecting block 32 and the support base 2. When the lead screw 34 rotates, the lead screw nut 33 can only slide along the direction of the lead screw 34, thereby driving the shell-breaking cylinder 1 to move. The driving component is located on the support base 2 and is a motor A, or other drive capable of rotating the lead screw 34. The device connects motor A and lead screw 34. Motor A drives lead screw 34 to rotate, causing lead screw nut 33 to slide on lead screw 34. Since support block 31, connecting block 32 and lead screw nut 33 are connected, when lead screw 34 rotates, shell-breaking cylinder 1 moves synchronously with support block 31, realizing the position adjustment function of shell-breaking cylinder 1. In the prior art, the position of shell-breaking cylinder 1 is manually adjusted by workers. Since the electrolytic cell is located at a high position, and shell-breaking cylinder 1 is designed at the top of the electrolytic cell, workers need to climb to a high position to operate when manually adjusting it, which poses a safety risk. In this design, motor A is used as the driving component to realize the function of adjusting the position of shell-breaking cylinder 1. Workers do not need to climb to a high position to operate the position of shell-breaking cylinder 1. Workers only need to operate motor A near the support structure, which not only reduces the labor intensity of workers, but also reduces the construction risk.

[0027] like Figures 1-4As shown, the protruding rod 35 is connected to the connecting block 32. The protruding rod 35 extends outward toward the support base 2 and is respectively set on both sides of the shell-breaking cylinder 1. The clamping component includes a chuck 4 and an adjusting rod 5. The chuck 4 is connected to the inner side of the protruding rod 35 and abuts against the support rod 101. An adjusting hole 351 is provided on the protruding rod 35. The adjusting hole 351 is directly opposite the shell-breaking cylinder 1 and passes through the protruding rod 35. The adjusting rod 5 is slidably set in the adjusting hole 351. The adjusting rod 5 and the adjusting hole 351 are connected by a thread. After connecting the adjusting rod 5 and the adjusting hole 351, rotating the adjusting rod 5 causes the adjusting rod 5 to move laterally in the adjusting hole 351, gradually approaching or moving away from the shell-breaking cylinder 1. One end of the adjusting rod 5 abuts against the chuck 4, and the end of the chuck 4 abuts against the support rod 101 of the shell-breaking cylinder 1. Since in the prior art, the shell-breaking cylinder 1 is only connected to the support block 31, the shell-breaking cylinder... 1. Strong vibrations are generated during operation, which continuously affect the connection point between the shell-breaking cylinder 1 and the support block 31. After a period of use, the connection point between the shell-breaking cylinder 1 and the support block 31 is prone to damage. After designing the clamping component, the clamping component can strengthen the connection strength between the shell-breaking cylinder 1 and the connecting component 3, so that the shell-breaking cylinder 1 is not only connected to the support block 31, but also connected to the connecting block 32 through the clamping component, making the shell-breaking cylinder 1 more stable during operation and reducing the wear of the connection point between the shell-breaking cylinder 1 and the support block 31. The adjusting rod 5 and the protruding rod 35 are designed with a plug-in method, so that the position of the claw 4 can be adjusted, which can be adapted to shell-breaking cylinders 1 of various sizes. It is not necessary to design a claw 4 size according to a shell-breaking cylinder 1 model. While ensuring the connection strength with the shell-breaking cylinder 1, the connection position of the claw 4 can be adjusted according to the size of the shell-breaking cylinder 1.

[0028] like Figures 1-4As shown, the chuck 4 includes several abutment joints 42 and abutment blocks 41. The abutment joints 42 are arranged around the abutment blocks 41, and one end of the abutment joint 42 is arc-shaped, which increases the contact area with the support rod 101, making the chuck 4 more stably supported on the surface of the support rod 101. One end of the abutment block 41 is provided with a circular groove 411, and one end of the adjusting rod 5 is connected to the circular groove 411. The adjusting rod 5 passes through the adjusting hole 351 and one end extends into the circular groove 411. The circular groove 411 not only does not affect the rotation of the adjusting rod 5, but also provides a positioning function for the chuck 4, making it easy to connect the chuck 4 and the adjusting rod 5. The abutment joints 42 and the abutment blocks 41 are inserted into each other. Specifically, one end of the abutment joint 42 is provided with an insertion rod 421, and the abutment block 41 is provided with an insertion hole 412. The insertion rod 421 is inserted into the insertion hole 412. The connection between the abutment 42 and the abutment block 41 is realized within the hole 412. After the claw 4 is connected to the shell-piercing cylinder 1, the vibration generated by the shell-piercing cylinder 1 during operation will damage the abutment 42. The abutment 42 and the abutment block 41 are connected in a detachable manner. When the abutment 42 is damaged, it can be directly removed and replaced with a new abutment 42 without the need for subsequent lengthy repairs, thus reducing the construction cycle. The abutment 42 is made of elastic materials such as rubber. After being connected to the shell-piercing cylinder 1, it can absorb some of the vibration when the shell-piercing cylinder 1 is working, reducing the force between the shell-piercing cylinder 1 and the connecting component 3. It can not only stably support the shell-piercing cylinder 1, but also reduce the force of the shell-piercing cylinder 1 on the connecting component 3, protect the structure of the connecting component 3, and increase the overall life of the support structure. The entire support structure adopts a modular design, with the connecting block 32 and the support block 31 designed for disassembly. The support block 31 changes position through the connecting block 32. The support block 31 provides the main support for the shell-breaking cylinder 1. The movement of the support block 31 drives the shell-breaking cylinder 1 to move synchronously. The clamping parts connected to the connecting block 32 provide auxiliary support for the shell-breaking cylinder 1. The support block 31 and the clamping parts not only increase the connection strength between the shell-breaking cylinder 1 and the support structure, but also reduce the force exerted by the shell-breaking cylinder 1 on the support structure during operation, making the working process of the shell-breaking cylinder 1 more stable and efficient.

[0029] Working principle: First, fix the support base 2 to the upper end of the electrolytic cell with bolts. Place the support block 31 between the through slots 21. Connect the connecting blocks 32 to both ends of the support block 31 with bolts. Then, insert the lead screw 34 from the upper end of the support base 2, so that the lead screw 34 passes through the lead screw nut 33. Connect the motor A to the top of the lead screw 34. Connect the motor A to the support base 2. Connect the shell-breaking cylinder 1 to the support block 31. Insert the abutment 42 into the abutment block 41. Then connect the abutment 42 and the support rod 1. 01. When the cylinder is in contact with the support rod 101, rotate the adjusting rod 5 so that it passes through the adjusting hole 351 and extends into the circular groove 411. Then, the pawl 4 is placed against the support rod 101 to install the shell-breaking cylinder 1 with the support structure. The drive motor A is then activated. The rotation of motor A drives the lead screw 34 to rotate, and the lead screw nut 33 moves on the lead screw 34. The lead screw nut 33 drives the connecting block 32 to move synchronously. The connecting block 32 drives the support block 31 and the shell-breaking cylinder 1 to move synchronously, thus realizing the height adjustment function of the shell-breaking cylinder 1.

For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various modifications and variations.
