Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an anode busbar transition frame, specifically an anode busbar transition frame with a soot blowing device. Background Technology
[0002] The anode busbar transition frame is a key piece of equipment in electrolytic aluminum production, mainly used to connect and transition between the anode guide rod and the horizontal busbar.
[0003] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diagram shows an existing anode busbar transfer frame, comprising a frame 1, a lifting ring 2 at the upper end of the frame, and vertical adjustment blocks 3 on both sides of the frame. An insertion slot 4 is located at the lower end of each vertical adjustment block 3, with insertion holes 5 on both sides of the insertion slot 4. A movable fixing post 6 is located on one side of the lower end of each vertical adjustment block 3. During operation, the lifting ring is hooked by a lifting structure on a crane structure. The crane structure then moves, raising the anode busbar transfer frame above the electrolytic cell. The lifting structure then drives the anode busbar transfer... The frame moves down, allowing the anode guide rod 7 to enter the insertion slot 4. At this time, the connecting hole 8 on the anode guide rod 7 corresponds to the insertion hole 5. Then, the fixing post 6 moves, entering the insertion hole 5 and the connecting hole 6 respectively, thus fixing the anode guide rod 7. Then, the personnel can release the small box clamp and carry out the lifting operation of the horizontal busbar. By fixing the anode guide rod, the horizontal busbar can always maintain good contact with the anode guide rod when lifting the horizontal busbar, thus ensuring good electrical contact between the anode guide rod and the horizontal busbar and avoiding arcing caused by poor contact.
[0004] However, as the anode guide rod continuously enters the insertion slot, friction is generated, which causes metal shavings to remain on the inner wall of the insertion slot. Additionally, dust remains in the insertion slot when not in use. The residual metal shavings or dust will intensify the friction between the anode guide rod and the inner wall of the insertion slot, leading to faster equipment wear and a shorter service life. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides an anode busbar adapter frame with a soot blowing device, which solves the above-mentioned problems.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an anode busbar adapter frame with a soot blowing device, including a frame, a fixing component, and a soot blowing structure;
[0007] The fixing components are respectively arranged on both sides of the frame. Each set of fixing components includes a connecting block, a vertical adjustment block, a telescopic component, and a fixing component. The connecting block is fixedly arranged on the side of the frame. The inner end of the vertical adjustment block is hinged to the side wall of the frame. The telescopic component is used to drive the vertical adjustment block to rotate. The lower end of the vertical adjustment block is provided with an insertion groove. Insertion holes are provided on both sides of the insertion groove. The fixing component has a movable fixing post.
[0008] The soot blowing structure has two sets, which are respectively arranged on the lower inner side of the two vertical adjustment blocks. Each set of soot blowing structures includes an L-shaped rotating plate, a driving component, an air inlet pipe, and a jet nozzle. The middle part of the L-shaped rotating plate is rotatably connected to the side wall of the vertical adjustment block. The driving component is used to drive the L-shaped rotating plate to rotate. The jet nozzle is arranged at the lower end of the L-shaped rotating plate, and the air inlet pipe is connected to the jet nozzle.
[0009] The aforementioned beneficial effects are as follows: When the horizontal busbar is being lifted, the L-shaped rotating plate is rotated by the drive component, causing the jet nozzle at the lower end of the L-shaped rotating plate to face the insertion slot. Compressed gas is then delivered into the air inlet pipe and sprayed into the insertion slot through the jet nozzle, blowing out residual dust or metal shavings. During the dust removal process, the jet nozzle can be adjusted by changing the rotation amplitude of the L-shaped rotating plate to move it closer to or further away from the insertion slot, thus adjusting the position of the jet nozzle. This thoroughly cleans the metal shavings or dust from the insertion slot, allowing the anode guide rod to be fixed before lifting the horizontal busbar. Each time the anode guide rod is fixed, the insertion slot is cleaned first using the dust removal structure, which reduces friction between the anode guide rod and the inner wall of the insertion slot, extending the service life of the equipment.
[0010] A preferred embodiment is that a lifting ring is provided at the upper middle part of the frame.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the telescopic component is a first cylinder, the telescopic rod of the first cylinder is hinged to the outer end of the vertical adjusting block, and the first cylinder is located at the upper end of the connecting block.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing component includes a second cylinder, a guide rod, a movable plate, and a fixed column. The second cylinder is disposed on one side of the lower end of the vertical adjustment block. The telescopic rod of the second cylinder passes through the vertical adjustment block and is connected to the movable plate. The upper end of the movable plate is connected to the guide rod, which is movably disposed on the vertical adjustment block. The lower end of the movable plate is connected to the fixed column.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the driving component is a third cylinder, the telescopic rod of the third cylinder is hinged to the upper end of the L-shaped rotating plate, and the end of the third cylinder is hinged to the side wall of the vertical adjusting block.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the intake pipe is fixed to the lower end of the L-shaped rotating plate by a retaining ring.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0025] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides an anode busbar adapter frame with a soot blowing device, including a frame 10, a fixing component 20 and a soot blowing structure 30;
[0026] The fixing components 20 are respectively disposed on both sides of the frame 10. Each set of fixing components 20 includes a connecting block 21, a vertical adjustment block 22, a telescopic member 23, and a fixing member 24. The connecting block 21 is fixedly disposed on the side of the frame 10. The inner end of the vertical adjustment block 22 is hinged to the side wall of the frame 10. The telescopic member 23 is used to drive the vertical adjustment block 22 to rotate. The lower end of the vertical adjustment block 22 is provided with an insertion groove 25. Insertion holes 26 are respectively provided on both sides of the insertion groove 25. The fixing member 24 has a movable fixing post 244.
[0027] The soot blowing structure 30 has two sets, and the two sets of soot blowing structures 30 are respectively arranged on the lower inner end of the two vertical adjustment blocks 22. Each set of soot blowing structures 30 includes an L-shaped rotating plate 31, a driving component 32, an air inlet pipe 33, and a jet head 34. The middle part of the L-shaped rotating plate 31 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the vertical adjustment block 22. The driving component 32 is used to drive the L-shaped rotating plate 31 to rotate. The jet head 34 is arranged at the lower end of the L-shaped rotating plate 31. The air inlet pipe 33 is connected to the jet head 34.
[0028] During operation, when the horizontal busbar is being lifted, the L-shaped rotating plate 31 is rotated by the drive component 32, causing the jet nozzle 34 at the lower end of the L-shaped rotating plate 31 to face the insertion slot 25. Compressed gas is then delivered into the air inlet pipe 33 and sprayed into the insertion slot 25 through the jet nozzle 34, blowing out residual dust or metal shavings from the insertion slot 25. During the dust removal process, the jet nozzle 34 can be moved closer to or further away from the insertion slot 25 by adjusting the rotation amplitude of the L-shaped rotating plate 31. This allows for thorough cleaning of metal shavings or dust from the insertion slot 25, after which the anode guide rod can be fixed and the horizontal busbar can be lifted. Each time the anode guide rod is fixed, the insertion slot 25 is cleaned by the dust removal structure 30, which reduces friction between the anode guide rod and the inner wall of the insertion slot 25, extending the service life of the equipment.
[0029] In addition, the telescopic component 23 extends or retracts, causing the vertical adjustment block 22 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the vertical adjustment block 22, so as to facilitate the accurate entry of the subsequent anode guide rod into the insertion groove 25.
[0030] Preferably, a lifting ring 41 is provided at the upper middle part of the frame 10.
[0031] The lifting ring 41 facilitates the lifting structure to raise or lower the anode busbar transfer frame 10.
[0032] Preferably, the telescopic component 23 is a first cylinder 231, the telescopic rod of the first cylinder 231 is hinged to the outer end of the vertical adjusting block 22, and the first cylinder 231 is disposed at the upper end of the connecting block 21.
[0033] When the telescopic rod of the first cylinder 231 extends, it causes the vertical adjustment block 22 to rotate inward. When the telescopic rod retracts, it causes the vertical adjustment rod to rotate outward, thereby adjusting the angle position of the vertical adjustment block 22 so that the anode guide rod can quickly and accurately enter the insertion groove 25.
[0034] Preferably, the fixing member 24 includes a second cylinder 241, a guide rod 242, a moving plate 243, and a fixing column 244. The second cylinder 241 is disposed on one side of the lower end of the vertical adjusting block 22. The telescopic rod of the second cylinder 241 passes through the vertical adjusting block 22 and is connected to the moving plate 243. The upper end of the moving plate 243 is connected to the guide rod 242. The guide rod 242 is movably disposed on the vertical adjusting block 22. The lower end of the moving plate 243 is connected to the fixing column 244.
[0035] When the anode guide rod enters the insertion slot 25, the connecting hole at the upper end of the anode guide rod corresponds to the insertion hole 26. At this time, the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 241 retracts, the moving plate 243 moves, and the guide rod 242 moves accordingly. Simultaneously, the fixing column 244 enters the insertion hole 26 and the connecting hole 8, fixing the anode guide rod 7 in the insertion slot 25. After fixing the anode guide rod, the small box clamp (not shown in the attached drawing) can be released, and the horizontal busbar (not shown in the attached drawing) can be lifted. When the horizontal busbar is lifted to the corresponding position, the small box clamp fixes the horizontal busbar and the anode guide rod 7. Then, the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 241 extends, causing the moving plate 243 to move the fixing column 244 outward, so that the fixing column 244 is removed from the insertion hole 26 and the connecting hole 8. At this time, the anode busbar transfer frame can be moved upward by the lifting structure. Then, the lifting structure and the anode busbar transfer frame can be moved to another electrolytic cell or other positions by the overhead crane structure.
[0036] Preferably, the driving component 32 is a third cylinder 321, the telescopic rod of the third cylinder 321 is hinged to the upper end of the L-shaped rotating plate 31, and the end of the third cylinder 321 is hinged to the side wall of the vertical adjusting block 22.
[0037] The extension rod of the third cylinder 321 extends, causing the L-shaped rotating plate 31 to rotate. The jet nozzle 34 at the lower end of the L-shaped rotating plate 31 rotates towards the insertion groove 25, thus cleaning the dust inside the insertion groove 25. After cleaning, the extension rod of the third cylinder 321 retracts, the L-shaped plate rotates, and the jet nozzle 34 rotates away from the insertion groove 25, after which the anode guide rod can be fixed for use.
[0038] Preferably, the air intake pipe 33 is fixed to the lower end of the L-shaped rotating plate 31 by a fixing ring 51.
[0039] Preferably, the lower end of the L-shaped plate is provided with a detachable inclined plate 81, the inclined plate 81 is provided with a protrusion 82, the protrusion 82 is provided with a first hole 83, the lower end of the L-shaped rotating plate 31 is provided with two ear plates 84, the two ear plates 84 are respectively provided with a second hole 86, and the jet head 34 is provided on the inclined plate 81.
[0040] When the jet head 34 needs to be replaced, the nut can be unscrewed from the bolt, and the bolt can be moved out of the first hole 83 and the second hole 86. Then the protrusion 82 can be moved out between the two ear plates 84, and the jet head 34 can be removed from the lower end of the L-shaped rotating plate 31. When replacing it, the protrusion 82 is moved between the two ear plates 84, the bolt is inserted into the first hole 83 and the second hole 86, and the nut 96 is screwed on the bolt 95.
[0041] Alternatively, multiple jet heads 34 can be installed on the inclined plate 81. The multiple jet heads 34 are connected by a connecting pipe, and an air inlet pipe 33 is installed on the connecting pipe. In this way, when the multiple jet heads 34 face the insertion, the dust cleaning work in the insertion slot 25 can be completed quickly.
[0042] In addition, the middle part of the L-shaped rotating plate 31 is rotatably mounted on the fixed shaft 105, and the two ends of the fixed shaft 105 are mounted on the plate body 106. The plate body 106 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the vertical adjustment block 22.
