Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic measuring device technology, specifically to an electrode paste detection device. Background Technology

[0002] Electrode paste is a conductive material supplied to electric furnace equipment such as ferroalloy furnaces and calcium carbide furnaces. The variation range of the electrode paste column height is closely related to electrode accidents. To maintain a suitable and stable electrode working end length, it is necessary to accurately calculate the electrode consumption and adjust the electrode pressure release in a timely manner based on the consumption situation. Therefore, controlling the electrode paste column height within a stable range is crucial for the smooth operation of the electric furnace. The current method of manually measuring the paste column height has two shortcomings: firstly, both the measurement operation time and the interval time will introduce errors; secondly, the manual measurement process itself carries safety risks.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent number CN222556461U, which discloses an automatic measuring device for the height of an electrode cylinder pasting column. The device includes a triangular support frame with fixed plates fixedly mounted on both sides. Each fixed plate has a pair of movable holes on one side and a pair of threaded bolts on the other side, with each pair of threaded bolts penetrating through each pair of movable holes. In this invention, the output of a servo motor drives a rotating shaft, a winding drum, and a wire rope to rotate. This causes the winding drum to unwind the wire, and when the counterweight contacts the pasting column, the servo motor stops. Simultaneously, the wire rope moves, driving a rotating wheel and a rotating rod. The rotation of the rotating rod allows a measuring device to record the wire rope's travel distance. The software automatically calculates the electrode cylinder pasting column height based on the recorded data, ensuring error-free measurement operation and interval, protecting worker safety, and reducing worker workload. However, in practical applications, due to the working environment of the device, the surface of the wire rope is easily covered with a certain amount of stickiness or dust. This makes it easy for the wire rope to stick together during the rising and falling process, affecting the lifting process and thus affecting the measurement. At the same time, during the winding process, the wire rope is also prone to continuously winding at the same position on the rotating column, thus affecting the measurement accuracy of the rotation measuring instrument. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the aforementioned technical difficulties and provide an electrode paste detection device that is less susceptible to interference during the measurement process.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted is as follows: an electrode paste detection device, including a support, a horizontal groove on the top surface of the support, a rotating meter slidably connected in the groove, a rotating rod connected to the output end of the rotating meter, a threaded groove on the surface of the rotating rod, a steel wire rope in the threaded groove, a weight on one end of the steel wire rope, a horizontally arranged electric slide rail on the top of the support of the rotating mechanism, a slider slidably connected in the electric slide rail, one end of the slider being fixedly connected to the rotating mechanism meter, and the pushing direction of the electric slide rail being towards the rotating rod.

[0006] Furthermore, the electric slide rail is equipped with a lead screw structure, the lead screw structure is connected to a motor, and the slider is slidably connected to the lead screw structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the output power of the motor is the same as that of the rotation meter.

[0008] Furthermore, a sensor is provided on the bottom surface of the weight, and the sensor is electrically connected to the rotation meter and the motor.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the wire rope is consistent with the groove width and depth of the threaded groove.

[0010] Furthermore, two sliders are slidably connected to the lead screw inside the electric slide rail. The two sliders are respectively fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod away from the rotating meter and the top of the electric meter. A stop is provided at the end of the rotating rod away from the rotating meter, and a bearing is provided between the stop and the rotating rod.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above scheme are as follows: When using this electrode paste detection device, to measure the height of the electrode paste, the rotating meter and motor are activated, and the steel wire rope wound in the threaded groove is gradually lowered. During the unwinding process, the rotating meter is pushed by the slider in the electric slide rail, ensuring that the steel wire rope remains in the same position during unwinding. After the weight at the other end of the steel wire rope contacts the electrode paste, the rotating meter measures the value. Then, the rotating meter reverses, causing the electric slide rail to push the slider in the opposite direction, allowing the steel wire rope to slowly wind up into the threaded groove of the rotating rod during the winding process. This integrated application avoids the overlap of the steel wire rope during unwinding and winding, preventing it from sticking together and affecting the lifting process, thus improving the overall measurement accuracy of the rotating meter.

[0016] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. The described embodiments are merely some, not all, of these embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0017] Example 1

[0018] like Figure 1 and 3 An electrode paste detection device includes a support 5. A horizontal groove 11 is formed on the top surface of the support 5. A rotating meter 4 is slidably connected in the groove 11. A rotating rod 6 is connected to the output end of the rotating meter 4. A threaded groove is formed on the surface of the rotating rod 6. A steel wire rope 7 is placed in the threaded groove. A weight 8 is attached to one end of the steel wire rope 7. A horizontally arranged electric slide rail 1 is provided on the top of the rotating mechanism of the support 5. A slider 2 is slidably connected in the electric slide rail 1. One end of the slider 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating mechanism meter. The pushing direction of the electric slide rail 1 is set towards the rotating rod 6.

[0019] In specific implementation, the electric slide rail 1 is provided with a lead screw structure, the lead screw structure is connected to the motor 3, and the slider 2 is slidably connected to the lead screw structure.

[0020] In practice, the output power of the motor 3 is the same as that of the rotary meter 4. This setting ensures that the rotation frequency of the rotating rod 6 is consistent with the rotation frequency of the lead screw in the electric slide rail 1, keeping the wire rope 7 vertical and stationary during the lowering and winding processes, thus improving measurement accuracy.

[0021] In practice, a sensor is installed on the bottom surface of the weight 8, and the sensor is electrically connected to the rotating measuring device 4 and the motor 3. With this setup, the motor 3 and the rotating measuring device 4 can be controlled to rewind the weight once the sensor detects contact, reducing manual operation.

[0022] In practice, the outer diameter of the wire rope 7 is consistent with the width and depth of the threaded groove. This setting ensures that the wire rope 7 is placed within the threaded groove during both winding and unwinding processes, further preventing the wire ropes from sticking together and affecting measurement accuracy.

[0023] Example 2

[0024] Based on Example 1, in order to further improve stability, the applicant, such as Figure 2 Two sliders 2 are slidably connected to the lead screw inside the electric slide rail 1. The two sliders 2 are respectively fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 6 away from the rotating meter 4 and the top of the electric meter. A stop block 10 is provided at the end of the rotating rod 6 away from the rotating meter 4, and a bearing 9 is provided between the stop block 10 and the rotating rod 6.

[0025] After the above application, one end of the rotating rod 6 is connected to the slider 2, and one end of the rotating meter 4 is fixedly connected to another slider 2. The lifting process of the wire rope 7 can be more stable, and the overall measurement stability is improved compared with Embodiment 1.
