Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrode paste production technology, specifically to a slag removal mechanism for the forming hopper of an electrode paste forming machine. Background Technology

[0002] Electrode paste, also known as self-baking electrode, is a conductive material supplied to electric furnace equipment such as ferroalloy furnaces and calcium carbide furnaces. The processing of electrode paste requires first crushing the raw materials, then calcining and shaping them, and finally shaping them in a molding machine.

[0003] The existing molding machine includes a casing with a conveyor. The conveyor belt has molding hoppers evenly distributed circumferentially for shaping the electrode paste. The shaped electrode paste is discharged from the output end of the conveyor. Since the electrode paste is slightly sticky, some residue can easily stick to the molding hopper after it is discharged. If the residue is not cleaned, more residue will stick during subsequent use, which will affect the integrity of the electrode paste structure. It can also cause the residue to clump together on the molding hopper, making cleaning more difficult. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a slag-cleaning mechanism for the forming hopper of an electrode paste forming machine, thus solving the problem of residue easily sticking to the existing forming hopper.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a slag removal mechanism for the forming hopper of an electrode paste forming machine, comprising a housing, a water storage chamber located below a conveyor inside the housing, a brushing assembly in the water storage chamber, the brushing assembly comprising a water pump fixed in the water storage chamber, a main pipe, multiple branch pipes and a brush roller, the multiple branch pipes being arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor, the axis of the branch pipes being perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor, multiple nozzles facing the conveyor being arranged along the length direction of the branch pipes, the main pipe extending along the arrangement direction of the multiple branch pipes, one end of the main pipe being closed, the other end of the main pipe being connected to the output end of the water pump, one end of the branch pipe being closed, the other end of the branch pipe being connected to the main pipe, the brush roller being provided between two adjacent branch pipes, the brush roller being rotatably connected to the housing, the axis of the brush roller being parallel to the axis of the branch pipe, the bristles of the brush roller contacting the forming hopper at the lower end face of the conveyor, and a drive mechanism for driving the brush roller to rotate being provided on the housing.

[0006] In this solution, when the forming bucket on the lower surface of the conveyor passes through the branch pipe, the water pump draws cleaning water from the water storage chamber and first rinses the forming bucket through the branch pipe. Then, the forming bucket is brushed by the brush roller. The branch pipe behind rinses it again. After multiple rinsing and brushing processes, the residue inside the forming bucket is removed, resulting in higher efficiency and cleaner cleaning.

[0007] As an optimization, the washing assembly is provided with at least three branch pipes, and a brush roller is provided between adjacent branch pipes. This optimized solution washes the forming hopper three times through the three branch pipes and brushes the forming hopper twice through the two brush rollers, resulting in more thorough slag removal.

[0008] As an optimization, the drive mechanism includes a driving sprocket rotatably connected to the chassis, and two driven sprockets. The two driven sprockets are respectively fixed to the same end of the two brush rollers. The driving sprocket and the two driven sprockets are connected via a chain drive. A motor is fixed to the outer wall of the chassis, and the motor output is fixed to the driving sprocket. This optimized solution drives the driving sprocket to rotate via a motor, which in turn drives the two driven sprockets to rotate via a chain, enabling the two brush rollers to rotate synchronously for brushing, thus saving energy.

[0009] As an optimization, a perforated plate is installed inside the water storage chamber, with multiple branch pipes and brush rollers located above the perforated plate. This optimized solution uses the perforated plate to filter impurities in the cleaning water, preventing clogging of the water pump.

[0010] As an optimization, guide plates are provided on the inner walls of opposite sides of the water storage chamber. The upper ends of the two guide plates are far apart and fixed to the inner walls of the water storage chamber, while the lower ends are close together and detachably connected to the two side walls opposite the perforated plate. This optimized design allows for the detachable connection of the perforated plate and the two guide plates, facilitating the removal and cleaning of debris. The two guide plates on the inner wall of the casing facilitate the flow of flushing water towards the central perforated plate.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: after the forming bucket is rinsed and brushed by multiple branch pipes and brush rollers in sequence, the residue in the bucket is removed, which is more efficient and the slag removal is more thorough; the rinsing water flows to the central mesh plate through the guide plate, and the impurities in the rinsing water are filtered by the mesh plate, which facilitates the recycling of rinsing water and avoids clogging of the water pump; the mesh plate and the guide plate are detachably connected, which makes it easy to disassemble and clean up the impurities and is convenient to use.

[0018] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to explain the solution.

[0019] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a slag-cleaning mechanism for the forming hopper of an electrode paste forming machine includes a housing 1, within which a water storage chamber is located below a conveyor 2. The conveyor 2 is positioned at the top of the housing 1, and forming hoppers are evenly distributed along the circumferential outer wall of the conveyor belt of the conveyor 2. The inner cavity of the housing 1 below the conveyor 2 forms the water storage chamber, and a water inlet pipe communicating with the water storage chamber is provided on the housing. This is prior art for forming machines and will not be elaborated upon further here.

[0020] The washing assembly in the water storage chamber includes a water pump 5, a main pipe 4, multiple branch pipes 3, and a brush roller 6. The multiple branch pipes 3 are arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor 2, with their axes perpendicular to the conveying direction. Multiple nozzles 31 facing the conveyor are arranged along the length of each branch pipe 3. The main pipe 4 extends along the arrangement of the branch pipes 3, with one end closed and the other end connected to the output end of the water pump 5. Each branch pipe 3 has one end closed and the other end connected to the main pipe 4. The brush roller 6 is positioned between adjacent branch pipes 3, with its axis parallel to the branch pipe 3 axis. The brush roller 6 is rotatably connected to the housing 1, and its bristles contact the forming hopper on the lower end face of the conveyor 2. The housing 1 is equipped with a drive mechanism 7 for rotating the brush roller 6.

[0021] The brush roller 6 described in this embodiment includes a rotating roller 61 and brush bristles 62 fixed to the outer circumferential wall of the rotating roller 61. The two ends of the rotating roller 61 are rotatably connected to the two side walls of the machine box 1. The rotating roller 61 rotates to make the brush bristles 62 swing circumferentially, thereby brushing the residue on the forming bucket.

[0022] The washing assembly has at least three branch pipes 3, and a brush roller 6 is provided between adjacent branch pipes 3. The washing assembly of this embodiment includes three branch pipes 3 and two brush rollers 6. The forming bucket is rinsed three times through the three branch pipes and brushed twice through the two brush rollers. After multiple rinsing and brushing, the residue in the forming bucket is removed, which is more efficient and cleaner.

[0023] Specifically, the drive mechanism 7 includes a drive sprocket 72 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the housing 1, and two driven sprockets 71, each fixed to the same end of one of the two brush rollers 6. In this embodiment, the end of the rotating roller 61 of the brush roller 6 extends to the outside of the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the driven sprocket 71. The drive sprocket 72 and the two driven sprockets 71 are connected by a chain 74. A motor 73 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the housing 1, and the output end of the motor 73 is fixedly connected to the drive sprocket 72. The motor drives the drive sprocket to rotate, which in turn drives the two driven sprockets to rotate via the chain, causing the two brush rollers 6 to rotate synchronously for brushing, thus saving energy.

[0024] The water storage chamber is equipped with a perforated plate 9, and multiple branch pipes 3 and brush rollers 6 are located above the perforated plate 9. The perforated plate filters out the residue washed down, preventing blockage of the water pump.

[0025] Specifically, the water storage chamber has guide plates 8 on both sides of its inner wall. The upper ends of the two guide plates 8 are far apart and fixed to the inner wall of the water storage chamber, while the lower ends are close together and detachably connected to the two sides of the mesh plate 9. The mesh plate 9 and the two guide plates 8 are detachably connected, facilitating the removal and cleaning of debris. The two guide plates on the inner wall of the casing facilitate the flow of flushing water towards the central mesh plate.

[0026] In this embodiment, the flow guide plate is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the chassis. The length of the perforated plate 9 extends along the conveying direction of the conveyor 2. The two ends of the width of the perforated plate 9 are fixed to the two flow guide plates 8 by bolts, so as to realize the detachable connection between the perforated plate and the flow guide plate, which is convenient to use.

[0027] Working principle: Cleaning water is added to the water storage chamber through the inlet pipe. The water pump 5 pumps the cleaning water to the main pipe 4, and then sequentially delivers it to each branch pipe 3. The motor 73 drives the drive sprocket 72 to rotate, which in turn drives the two driven sprockets 71 to rotate through the chain 74, causing the two brush rollers 6 to rotate. When the conveyor 2 drives the forming bucket to rotate to the lower end face, the forming bucket is first rinsed through the branch pipes 3, then brushed by the brush rollers 6, and then rinsed again by the subsequent branch pipes 3. After multiple rinsing and brushing, the residue in the forming bucket is removed, resulting in higher efficiency and cleaner cleaning.
