Abstract
Description
A pneumatic clamping device for sampling carbon blocks Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anode carbon block production technology, specifically a pneumatic clamping device for carbon block sampling. Background Technology
[0002] Anode carbon blocks refer to carbon blocks produced using petroleum coke and pitch coke as aggregates and coal tar pitch as a binder, used as anode materials in prebaked aluminum electrolysis cells. These carbon blocks have been roasted and have a stable geometric shape, so they are also called prebaked anode carbon blocks, or conventionally, carbon anodes for aluminum electrolysis.
[0003] In the production of charcoal blocks, the sampling process is crucial, directly affecting the quality and performance evaluation of the blocks. Currently, there are two methods for charcoal block sampling: one involves transferring the charcoal block to a sampling platform, fixing it on the platform, and then taking the sample using a sampling machine. This method requires transferring the charcoal block, is cumbersome, wastes manpower, and has low efficiency. The other method involves directly drilling a core sample from the charcoal block using a sampling machine. However, because this method does not fix the charcoal block, it can slide on the ground during sampling, leading to skewness and affecting the strength of the sampled charcoal block. This also results in inaccurate subsequent quality testing results and is inconvenient to operate. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a pneumatic clamping device for carbon block sampling. It can clamp and fix the carbon block and also install and fix the sampler. There is no need to transfer the carbon block for sampling. It can also avoid relative displacement or deflection between the carbon block and the sampler during the sampling process, which can reduce the impact on the sampled carbon rod and help improve the accuracy of subsequent quality inspection. The structure is simple and easy to operate, and it can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a positioning plate is provided on the side of the movable frame away from the push plate.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the track assembly includes a first slide rail symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the movable frame, a second slide rail slidably arranged on the first slide rail, a fastening bolt threadedly connected to the upper surface of the second slide rail and the first slide rail, and the slider slidably arranged on the second slide rail.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper surface of the slider and the second slide rail are threadedly connected with positioning bolts.

[0016] 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.
[0017] Please refer to Figures 1-2. This utility model provides a technical solution: a pneumatic clamping device for carbon block sampling, including a movable frame 1 with an opening on one side. The bottom of the movable frame 1 is provided with evenly distributed casters 2. The casters 2 move the movable frame 1 to a suitable position so that the movable frame 1 wraps around the outside of the carbon block. A horizontal cylinder 3 is provided on the side of the movable frame 1 adjacent to its opening side. The telescopic end of the horizontal cylinder 3 is provided with a push plate 31 located inside the movable frame 1. The top of the movable frame 1 is provided with a track assembly. A slider 7 is movably mounted on the track assembly. A vertical cylinder 72 is provided on the slider 7. The telescopic end of the vertical cylinder 72 is provided with a mounting plate 8 for mounting a sampler. The position of the slider 7 is adjusted by the track assembly, thereby adjusting the position of the sampler. The vertical cylinder 72 is controlled to shorten, and the sampler is controlled to work. The vertical cylinder 72 drives the sampler to move downward through the mounting plate 8. During the downward movement of the sampler, the carbon block is sampled.
[0018] Furthermore, a positioning plate 4 is provided on the side of the movable frame 1 away from the push plate 31 to control the operation of the horizontal cylinder 3. The horizontal cylinder 3 pushes the push plate 31 to move, thereby causing the push plate 31 and the positioning plate 4 to clamp the carbon block.
[0019] Furthermore, the track assembly includes a first slide rail 5 symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the movable frame 1, a second slide rail 6 slidably arranged on the first slide rail 5, a fastening bolt 61 threadedly connected to the upper surface of the second slide rail 6 corresponding to the first slide rail, a slider 7 slidably arranged on the second slide rail 6, a positioning bolt 71 threadedly connected to the upper surface of the slider 7 corresponding to the second slide rail 6, the second slide rail 6 is moved along the first slide rail 5, and the slider 7 is moved along the second slide rail 6, thereby adjusting the position of the sampler, then the fastening bolt 61 is rotated to fix the second slide rail 6, and the positioning bolt 71 is rotated to fix the slider 7, thereby fixing the position of the sampler.
[0020] Furthermore, the lower side of the mounting plate 8 is provided with a fixing ring 81 for inserting the sampler, and a clamp 9 is installed on the upper side of the mounting plate 8. The clamp 9 and the mounting plate 8 are provided with corresponding threaded holes. The sampler is inserted into the fixing ring 81, and the clamp 9 is fixed to the mounting plate 8 by bolts, thereby fixing the upper side of the sampler by the clamp 9.
[0021] The horizontal cylinder 3 and the vertical cylinder 72 used in this utility model are connected to the air pump in a conventional manner. Their working methods and specific connection methods are well-known technologies and will not be described in detail here. The air pump can be set on the side of the moving frame 1 and move synchronously with the moving frame.
[0022] When using:
[0023] Move the movable frame 1 to the appropriate position using the casters 2, so that the movable frame 1 wraps around the outside of the charcoal block;
[0024] The horizontal cylinder 3 is controlled to work, and the horizontal cylinder 3 pushes the push plate 31 to move, so that the push plate 31 and the positioning plate 4 clamp the carbon block.
[0025] Insert the sampler into the fixing ring 81 and fix the clamp 9 to the mounting plate 8 with bolts, thereby fixing the upper side of the sampler through the clamp 9;
[0026] Move the second slide rail 6 along the first slide rail 5 and move the slider 7 along the second slide rail 6 to adjust the position of the sampler. Then, rotate the fastening bolt 61 to fix the second slide rail 6 and rotate the positioning bolt 71 to fix the slider 7, thereby fixing the position of the sampler.
[0027] The vertical cylinder 72 is shortened and the sampler is operated. The vertical cylinder 72 drives the sampler to move down through the mounting plate 8. During the downward movement of the sampler, the sampler performs sampling operations on the carbon block.
[0028] This invention can tighten and fix the carbon block, and also install and fix the sampler, eliminating the need to transfer the carbon block for sampling. It can also avoid relative displacement or skew between the carbon block and the sampler during the sampling process, reducing the impact on the sampled carbon rod and helping to improve the accuracy of subsequent quality testing.
