Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-baking electrode welding and manufacturing technology, specifically to an automatic clamping, shaping and docking device for self-baking electrode cylinders. Background Technology
[0002] Self-baking electrodes consist of an electrode cylinder and electrode paste added to the electrode cylinder. During the calcium carbide furnace production process, the electrode paste below the conductive clip is baked into a mature carbon electrode by resistance heating, conduction heating and radiation heating, and is continuously consumed under the action of the end arc. It is necessary to continuously weld electrode cylinders to the upper part of the electrode cylinder and continuously add electrode paste to the electrode cylinder to form a self-baking electrode for continuous production.
[0003] Electrode cylinders require clamping and hoisting during welding. Currently, the common method is to use overhead cranes for clamping and hoisting, which involves using straps and hooks. During hoisting, the electrode cylinder is prone to swaying and instability, and manual operations such as binding, hooking, unbinding, and releasing are required, which is inconvenient and inefficient. The electrode cylinder is a hollow cylindrical shape with multiple evenly distributed ribs on its outer cylindrical surface. It is made of thin steel plate. Due to the instability during current clamping and hoisting methods and the inherent structural limitations of the electrode cylinder, it is prone to deformation, which can lead to problems during welding. The deformed parts need to be reshaped to align with the original electrode cylinder, which presents some inconvenience during welding. When welding the electrode cylinder to the top, it is necessary to ensure that the outer cylindrical surfaces and ribs of the two electrode cylinders are aligned before welding. Currently, workers manually align the outer cylindrical surfaces of the electrode cylinders using hand tools and manually clamp the ribs using hand clamping tools. This manual operation is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and cannot achieve fast and effective alignment and clamping. Therefore, the current operation of clamping, hoisting, shaping, and docking of electrode cylinders mainly relies on manual intervention, lacking corresponding automated mechanical devices.
[0004] Therefore, designing and manufacturing an automatic clamping, shaping and docking device specifically for self-baking electrode cylinders to improve clamping and hoisting efficiency, prevent deformation, and automatically perform rounding, alignment and clamping operations is a very meaningful endeavor.

Preferably, there are eight side clamping blocks 22, with four side clamping blocks 22 installed on the upper side of the upper circular mounting base 21. The lower side clamping block 22, mounted on the lower ring mounting base 21, has an arc-shaped clamping concave surface that contacts the outer cylindrical surface of the electrode cylinder. Rotating steel balls are evenly mounted on the arc-shaped clamping concave surface of the side clamping block 22. Multiple middle clamping blocks 23 are evenly arranged in a circular array between the two ring mounting bases 21. Preferably, there are four middle clamping blocks 23. Each middle clamping block 23 has an arc-shaped clamping concave surface and a side clamping plane.

The first linear guide mainly includes a slider and a slide block. The slider of the first linear guide is fixedly connected to the side clamping block 22 and the middle clamping block 23, respectively. The slide block of the first linear guide is fixedly connected to the annular mounting base 21. The clamping block driving mechanism 24 includes a clamping block power cylinder 241, a rotating ring 242, and a guide slider 243. Multiple clamping block power cylinders 241 are evenly installed on the annular mounting base 21. Preferably, there are eight clamping block power cylinders 241. The piston rod of the clamping block power cylinder 241 is hinged to the rotating ring 242. Multiple guide inclined grooves 244 are evenly arranged on the rotating ring 242.

[0040] The piston rod of the clamping block power cylinder 241 extends or retracts, driving the rotating ring 242 to rotate in the forward or reverse direction.

[0042] The inner clamping block drive motor 331 drives the swing disk 333 to rotate forward or backward through the gear transmission mechanism 332. When the swing disk 333 rotates, it drives the inner clamping block 32 to reciprocate linearly on the inner clamping mounting base 31 via the inner clamping block connecting rod 334. When the inner clamping block 32 moves outward, the arc-shaped clamping convex surface of the inner clamping block 32 contacts the inner cylindrical surface of the electrode cylinder, clamping and shaping the electrode cylinder.
