Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0024] like Figures 1-8 As shown, an electrode packaging structure includes a base plate 1 and an upper cover 2. The base plate 1 includes a base plate 1.1. Two parallel rollers 1.2 are fixed at both ends of the bottom of the base plate 1.1. The rollers 1.2 support the base plate 1.1 and create a gap below the base plate 1.1. The gap can separate the electrode carbon rods placed on the base plate 1.1 from the ground and facilitate lifting the base plate 1.1 when transported by forklift. The two ends of the rollers 1.2 extend beyond the sides of the base plate 1.1. The two ends of the rollers 1.2 are provided with openings 1.3. A guide rod 1.4 is fixed at the top of the roller 1.2 on one side of the opening 1.3. The guide rod 1.4 is provided with a through groove 1.5 along the length direction on the side away from the base plate 1.1. The bottom of the roller 1.2 is provided with two limiting grooves 1.6 along the length direction. The two ends of one limiting groove 1.6 are respectively connected to the two openings 1.3, and the two ends of the other limiting groove 1.6 are respectively connected to the through grooves 1.5 of the two guide rods 1.4.

[0025] The electrode carbon rods are stacked on top of the base plate 1, which is prone to rolling. Therefore, multiple electrode carbon rods can be tied to the base plate 1 using a packing steel strap 7. At this time, the bottom of the packing steel strap 7 is placed in the limiting groove 1.6 that communicates with the opening 1.3, and it goes around the opening 1.3, which plays a role in limiting and positioning, effectively binding the two ends of the electrode carbon rods.

[0026] The top two ends of the base plate 1.1 are provided with electrical limit switch components 3; the electrical limit switch components 3 include several long plates 3.1, and the top of each long plate 3.1 is provided with multiple arc-shaped grooves 3.2, and the curvature of the arc-shaped grooves 3.2 of each long plate 3.1 is different;

[0027] The electric limit position component 3 can limit the rolling of the electrode carbon rod through the arc groove 3.2, and the arc groove 3.2 with different curvature can adapt to electrode carbon rods with different diameters. When replacement is required, only the electric limit position component 3 with different arc groove 3.2 needs to be replaced.

[0028] Multiple dovetail blocks 4 are fixed to the bottom of the long plate 3.1. Matching dovetail grooves 5 are provided at both ends of the top of the base plate 1.1. The dovetail blocks 4 slide into the dovetail grooves 5. The replacement of the electric limit switch assembly 3 can be done by sliding the dovetail blocks 4 into the dovetail grooves 5. The dovetail grooves 5 are connected to the ends of the long plate 3.1.

[0029] The upper protective cover 2 includes a pair of trapezoidal side plates 2.1 and several connecting plates 2.2 fixed between the top and sides of the pair of trapezoidal side plates 2.1. The trapezoidal side plates 2.1 are designed so that the upper part of the upper protective cover 2 is narrower and the lower part is wider, so as to adapt to the situation where the number of top carbon rods gradually decreases and narrows when stacking, and the bottom is more and wider. The corners of the trapezoidal side plates 2.1 are rounded to prevent people from bumping into them.

[0030] The upper cover 2 is placed above the bottom support plate 1. The upper cover 2 and the bottom support plate 1 are designed to be separated. When loading, the electrode carbon rod can be placed directly on the open bottom support plate 1, and then the upper cover 2 is placed over the outside of the electrode carbon rod to protect it. When unloading, the upper cover 2 can be removed directly from the bottom support plate 1 to reduce the risk of bumps and make loading and unloading easier.

[0031] A pair of symmetrical L-shaped plates 6 are fixed to the bottom sides of the upper cover 2. The sides of the L-shaped plates 6 are attached to the guide rods 1.4, and the bottoms of the L-shaped plates 6 are attached to the top of the opening 1.3 of the idler roller 1.2. When the upper cover 2 is installed, a total of four L-shaped plates 6 move down against the corresponding guide rods 1.4, which serves as a guide and limit. Since the electrode carbon rods are all within the top range of the bottom support plate 1, this also reduces the scraping of the electrode carbon rods by the upper cover 2. The angled treatment of the L-shaped plates 6 can guide them when they come into contact with the top of the guide rods 1.4, improving smoothness and fault tolerance. After the upper cover 2 is installed, the L-shaped plates 6 The bottom of the upper cover 2 is attached to the top and surrounding rollers 1.2 of the opening 1.3. The upper cover 2 is supported by the L-shaped plate 6. The L-shaped plate 6 is limited by the guide rod 1.4 and the packing steel strap 7, so that the upper cover 2 cannot easily move back and forth or left and right on the bottom support plate 1, thus stabilizing the position of the upper cover 2. The bottom support plate 1 and the upper cover 2 are bound together by two packing steel straps 7. The bottom of the packing steel strap 7 is placed in the limiting groove 1.6 that is connected to the through groove 1.5. The through groove 1.5 and the limiting groove 1.6 guide the packing steel strap 7 to bind the two ends of the bottom support plate 1 and the upper cover 2, and also limit the position of the packing steel strap 7.

[0032] Several pairs of rubber baffles 8 are fixed in the slots of the through groove 1.5 and the two limiting grooves 1.6. Each pair of rubber baffles 8 has an opening in the middle. Because the rubber baffles 8 are soft and can be bent, it is convenient for the two packing steel straps 7 to enter the two limiting grooves 1.6 respectively. At the same time, the rubber baffles 8 can be reset to prevent the packing steel straps 7 from shifting or popping out before packing or when disassembling the packing, thus improving both portability and safety.

[0033] Working principle: When using this utility model, electrode carbon rods are stacked on top of the bottom plate 1.1 of the bottom support plate 1. The arc groove 3.2 of the limit position component 3 is used to limit the bottom electrode carbon rod. After it is placed, the electrode carbon rod is bound and limited on the bottom support plate 1 by the packing steel strap 7. At this time, the packing steel strap 7 passes around the limiting groove 1.6 and opening 1.3 of the roller 1.2.

[0034] The upper cover 2 is placed over the electrode carbon rod. The L-shaped plate 6 of the upper cover 2 is limited by the guide rod 1.4. The upper cover 2 is bound and limited to the bottom support plate 1 by the packing steel strap 7. At this time, the packing steel strap 7 passes around the limiting groove 1.6 of the idler roller 1.2 and the through groove 1.5 of the guide rod 1.4.

[0035] Advantages: The electrode carbon rod is mounted on the open base plate 1, and the upper cover 2 moves up and down above the base plate 1 to protect the electrode carbon rod, reduce the risk of bumps and knocks, and facilitate loading and unloading without damage, and can be reused repeatedly; before and after installation, the upper cover 2 contacts the guide rod 1.4 and the roller 1.2 through the L-shaped plate 6, which can guide, limit and support, thereby stabilizing the position and reducing scratches; the electrode carbon rod and the base plate 1 are tied together with the packing steel straps 7 to ensure the connection strength.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
