Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrode post end face perpendicularity detection, specifically an electrode post end face perpendicularity detection device. Background Technology

[0002] Electrode posts are key components connecting battery cells or external circuits. Their definition and function vary depending on the application. Made of conductive materials, electrode posts are typically cylindrical with internal cooling channels and an external insulating layer to ensure stable operation in high-temperature environments. Graphite electrodes, primarily made from petroleum coke and needle coke as raw materials and coal tar pitch as a binder, are manufactured through calcination, batching, kneading, molding, roasting, graphitization, and machining. They are conductors that release electrical energy in an electric arc furnace to heat and melt the furnace charge. Based on their quality indicators, they can be categorized as ordinary power, high power, and ultra-high power. Some graphite electrode posts require testing before leaving the factory, mainly checking the perpendicularity and flatness of their ends. Therefore, an electrode post end face perpendicularity testing device is needed.

[0003] In the prior art, the electrode posts have different models and specifications, resulting in different sizes. They cannot be adjusted at any time when fixed, and the fixing space is relatively small during the test, making it inconvenient to pick up and put down. Therefore, an electrode post end face perpendicularity detection device is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, when testing electrode posts, due to the different models and specifications of the electrode posts, their sizes vary, making it impossible to adjust them at any time during fixing. Furthermore, the fixing space is relatively small during testing, leading to inconvenience in handling. This utility model proposes an electrode post end face perpendicularity testing device.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: An electrode post end face perpendicularity detection device of this utility model includes a base plate. A side plate A is provided on one side of the top surface of the base plate. A drive motor is provided on the top surface of the base plate and on the other side of the side plate A. An A toothed shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. A toothed belt is sleeved on the surface of the A toothed shaft. A B toothed shaft is sleeved on one side inside the toothed belt. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of both the A and B toothed shafts. One end of the connecting rod passes through the A side plate and is fixedly connected to a rotating... The cylinder also includes a B-side plate that is slidably connected to the base plate. The other end of the cylinder is rotatably connected to the surface of the B-side plate via a bearing. The surface of the A-side plate has symmetrically formed limit grooves. A limit rod is slidably connected inside one of the limit grooves. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the end face of the limit rod. The fixing plate is fixed to the threaded hole on the side wall of the limit groove via a threaded bolt. A sleeve is sleeved on the surface of the limit rod. The sleeve and the two cylinders form a triangular positioning and clamping structure. An electric push rod is provided on the side of the B-side plate. A probe is provided at the end of the electric push rod. A sensing module is provided on the end face of the probe.

[0006] Preferably, the top surface of the base plate is provided with a sliding groove, and a slider is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. The top of the slider is fixedly connected to the B side plate.

[0007] Preferably, connecting blocks are provided on both sides of the bottom of the B side plate, and a fixing bolt is provided through the connecting block, with the bottom end of the fixing bolt abutting against the top surface of the bottom plate.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of threaded holes are formed on both sides of the limiting groove from top to bottom, and the threaded bolt passes through the fixing piece and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting grooves are symmetrically opened on the surfaces of side plate A and side plate B, and are located directly above the toothed shafts A and B.

[0010] Preferably, the electric push rod is fixed to the side of the B side plate by a connecting plate, and the sensing module is disposed on the probe end face and in contact with the electrode post end face.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. This utility model achieves automatic rotation of the electrode post through the linkage design of drive motor-toothed shaft-rotating cylinder. With the sensing module on the probe end face, the perpendicularity of the end face can be continuously detected during the rotation of the electrode post, which solves the problem of low detection efficiency of traditional fixed devices and greatly improves detection accuracy and efficiency. The triangular positioning clamping structure formed by the sleeve and double rotating cylinder, combined with the sliding limit rod and the adjustment design of threaded bolt and threaded hole, can adapt to electrode posts of different diameters by adjusting the pressing height of the sleeve, which solves the fixation incompatibility problem caused by the difference in electrode post size in the existing device and significantly expands the detection adaptability.

[0013] 2. This utility model achieves horizontal sliding of the B side plate via a slider and a groove, and, in conjunction with the fixing bolt locking structure of the bottom connecting block, realizes rapid adjustment and locking of the distance between the A and B side plates. This solves the pain point of inconvenient electrode post placement and removal in confined spaces, improving operational convenience. The integrated design of the electric push rod and probe, fixed to the side of the movable B side plate via a connecting plate, ensures that the sensing module is always aligned with the center of the electrode post end face, ensuring automated positioning and stable contact during the detection process, avoiding manual positioning errors, and guaranteeing data reliability.

[0020] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, an electrode post end face perpendicularity detection device includes a base plate 1, an A side plate 2 disposed on one side of the top surface of the base plate 1, a drive motor 6 disposed on the top surface of the base plate 1 and on the other side of the A side plate 2, an A toothed shaft 7 fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 6, a toothed belt 8 sleeved on the surface of the A toothed shaft 7, a B toothed shaft 9 sleeved on one side inside the toothed belt 8, a connecting rod 10 fixedly connected to one side of both the A toothed shaft 7 and the B toothed shaft 9, and a rotating drum 11 fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 10 through the A side plate 2; it also includes a B side plate 5 slidably connected to the base plate 1, and a rotating drum 11. The other end of 1 is rotatably connected to the surface of side plate 5 of B via a bearing; symmetrical limit grooves 23 are opened on the surface of side plate 2 of A, one of the limit grooves 23 is slidably connected to a limit rod 12, and a fixing plate 13 is fixedly connected to the end face of the limit rod 12. The fixing plate 13 is fixed to the threaded hole 14 on the side wall of the limit groove 23 via a threaded bolt 15; a sleeve 16 is sleeved on the surface of the limit rod 12, and the sleeve 16 and the two rotating cylinders 11 form a triangular positioning clamping structure; an electric push rod 18 is provided on the side of side plate 5, and a probe 19 is provided at the end of the electric push rod 18. A sensing module 20 is provided on the end face of the probe 19.

[0022] During operation, the electrode post is placed horizontally on two rotating drums 11. The drive motor 6 is started to drive the toothed shaft A 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the toothed shaft B 9 synchronously through the toothed belt 8, causing the rotating drums 11 to jointly drive the electrode post to rotate circumferentially. The sliding limit rod 12 moves down in the limit groove 23, causing the sleeve 16 to press against the top of the electrode post to form a triangular positioning clamp. Then, the threaded bolt 15 is tightened to fix the fixing plate 13. At this time, the electric push rod 18 pushes the sensing module 20 on the end face of the probe 19 to contact the end face of the rotating electrode post, and detects the perpendicularity deviation in real time. The automatic rotation design of the rotating drum 11 realizes the dynamic detection of the electrode post. Combined with the elastic pressing of the sleeve 16 and the continuous sampling of the sensing module 20, the problem of low efficiency of traditional static detection is solved. The triangular clamping structure is adapted to cylindrical workpieces to avoid detection offset.

[0023] Furthermore, a groove 3 is provided on the top surface of the base plate 1, and a slider 4 is slidably connected inside the groove 3. The top of the slider 4 is fixedly connected to the B side plate 5.

[0024] During operation, when adjusting the distance between the A and B side plates, the B side plate 5 drives the bottom slider 4 to move horizontally along the slide groove 3 of the base plate 1 until the distance between the rotating cylinder 11 matches the length of the electrode post. The sliding connection between the slide groove 3 and the slider 4 enables the smooth displacement of the B side plate 5, which solves the interference problem of picking up and placing the electrode post in a narrow space and significantly improves the ease of operation.

[0025] Furthermore, connecting blocks 21 are provided on both sides of the bottom of side plate 5. A fixing bolt 22 is provided through the connecting block 21, and the bottom end of the fixing bolt 22 abuts against the top surface of the bottom plate 1.

[0026] During operation, after the B side plate 5 is positioned, the fixing bolt 22 inside the connecting block 21 is tightened, so that its bottom end abuts against the top surface of the base plate 1 to generate frictional locking force. The fixing bolt 22 quickly fixes the B side plate 5 through the mechanical self-locking principle, ensuring the stability of the rotating drum 11 during the testing process and avoiding vibration from affecting the accuracy.

[0027] Furthermore, several threaded holes 14 are opened from top to bottom on both sides of the limiting groove 23, and threaded bolts 15 pass through the fixing piece 13 and are threadedly connected to the threaded holes 14.

[0028] During operation, when adjusting the height of the sleeve 16 according to the diameter of the electrode post, first loosen the threaded bolt 15, select the matching height from the multiple threaded holes 14 on both sides of the limiting groove 23 from top to bottom, and then re-tighten the fixing plate 13.

[0029] Furthermore, the limiting groove 23 is symmetrically opened on the surfaces of side plate A 2 and side plate B 5, and is located directly above the toothed shaft A 7 and toothed shaft B 9;

[0030] During operation, the limiting grooves 23 are symmetrically opened on the surfaces of side plate 2 and side plate 5, and are located directly above the toothed shaft of A / B, ensuring that the pressing point of sleeve 16 is coaxially aligned with the support point of rotating cylinder 11. The symmetrical layout of the double limiting grooves 23 ensures that the clamping force acts perpendicularly on the central axis of the electrode post, preventing detection errors caused by force eccentricity.

[0031] Furthermore, the electric push rod 18 is fixed to the side of the B side plate 5 via the connecting plate 17, and the sensing module 20 is disposed on the end face of the probe 19 and contacts the end face of the electrode post.

[0032] During operation, the electric push rod 18 is fixed to the side of the B side plate 5 via the connecting plate 17, and the probe 19 moves synchronously with the B side plate 5, so that the sensing module 20 is always automatically aligned with the center of the electrode post end face.

[0033] Working principle: When the drive motor 6 drives the toothed shaft 7 of A to rotate, the toothed belt 8 links the toothed shaft 9 of B to rotate synchronously. Then, the connecting rod 10 drives the two rotating drums 11 to rotate the electrode column circumferentially. At the same time, the limiting rod 12 in the sliding limiting groove 23 drives the sleeve 16 to move down and press the top of the electrode column to form a triangular positioning clamp. The height of the limiting rod 12 is fixed by the cooperation of the threaded bolt 15 and the threaded hole 14. During the rotation of the electrode column, the electric push rod 18 pushes the sensing module 20 on the end face of the probe 19 to contact the end face of the electrode column to detect the perpendicularity in real time. The B side plate 5 adjusts the distance with the A side plate 2 by the sliding of the slider 4 in the sliding groove 3 and the abutment and locking of the fixing bolt 22 to adapt to the picking, placing and positioning of electrode columns of different lengths.

[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or similar improvements made within the theoretical and principle content of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
