Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolytic aluminum equipment manufacturing technology, and in particular to a cutting tool for the surface of an anode carbon block. Background Technology
[0002] During the roasting process, a coking layer forms on the surface of the anode carbon block, which adheres to the filler material (such as metallurgical coke). A high-speed rotating cutter (such as a diamond-coated cutter) effectively removes this coking layer, ensuring the dimensional accuracy and surface flatness of the carbon block and meeting the assembly requirements of the electrolytic cell. Some automated equipment uses multiple sets of cutters working in tandem to achieve comprehensive cleaning of the large surfaces and end faces of the carbon block.
[0003] During the electrolysis process, an electrolyte hard shell will adhere to the surface of the anode carbon block. Due to the characteristics of the anode carbon block itself, the blades of the cutting roller will wear. The existing cutting rollers are integral, and when the blades are damaged, the whole thing needs to be replaced, which increases the maintenance cost. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the existing defects and provide a cutting tool for the surface of anodized carbon blocks, which adopts a detachable and separate assembly design for the tool holder, tool base and tool head, thereby reducing maintenance costs.
[0005] The technical solution to achieve the above objective is: a cutting tool for the surface of an anode carbon block, including a hob holder, a plurality of insert holders are sleeved on the sliding shaft of the hob holder, and two mounting slots are mirror-imagely formed on the upper and lower end faces of each insert holder. The four mounting slots on each insert holder are evenly distributed, and a corresponding cutting head is detachably connected to each of the four mounting slots by bolts. A fixing nut is threadedly connected to the threaded end of the hob holder, and the fixing nut is in close contact with the insert holder located at the end. The cutting heads are distributed in a spiral shape.
[0006] Preferably, each of the cutting heads has multiple mounting holes, and each of the bolts passes through the mounting holes and is fastened to the corresponding cutting head.
[0007] Preferably, the blade holder is made of alloy steel, and the cutting head is made of diamond.
[0008] Preferably, a gasket is provided between the fixing nut and the blade holder located at the end.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: multiple blade holders are fitted on the sliding shaft of the hob holder. Two mounting slots are mirrored on the upper and lower end faces of each blade holder. The four mounting slots on each blade holder are evenly distributed, and a corresponding cutting head is detachably connected to each of the four mounting slots. A fixing nut is threaded to the threaded end of the hob holder. The fixing nut is in close contact with the blade holder at the end. Through this detachable connection method of threaded connection, the blade holder, blade support, and cutting head are designed as separate units. After a single cutting head wears out, it can be disassembled and replaced independently, which greatly reduces the maintenance and repair costs. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0016] like Figure 1-3As shown, a cutting tool for the surface of an anode carbon block includes a hob holder 1. Multiple insert holders 2 are mounted on the sliding shaft of the hob holder 1. Each insert holder 2 has two mounting slots 3 mirror-imagely formed on its upper and lower end faces. The four mounting slots 3 on each insert holder 2 are evenly distributed. Each of the four mounting slots 3 is detachably connected to a corresponding cutting head 4 by bolts. Each cutting head 4 is spirally distributed and has multiple mounting holes. Each bolt passes through the mounting holes and is fastened to the corresponding cutting head 4. This detachable connection method using threads allows for independent disassembly and replacement of a single cutting head 4 after it wears out (without replacing the entire tool body), greatly saving costs and facilitating repair and maintenance.
[0017] Specifically, the blade holder 2 is made of alloy steel, and the cutting head 4 is made of diamond. The diamond cutting head has extremely high hardness and wear resistance, and can efficiently cut impurities on the surface of carbon blocks. The threaded end of the hob holder 1 is connected to a fixing nut 5. The fixing nut 5 and the blade holder 2 at the end are tightly attached to each other. A washer 6 is provided between the fixing nut 5 and the blade holder 2 at the end. The threaded structure secures each blade holder 2 to the hob holder 1, which is convenient for disassembly and installation.
[0018] Working principle: The cutting tool is mounted on the spindle of the cleaning equipment via a bearing housing, and the parallelism between the tool and the carbon block surface is adjusted. Under high-speed rotation, the cutting head 4 removes the hardened impurities on the surface of the anode carbon block in a helical milling manner for rough machining. Then, the feed rate is reduced, and the surface is smoothed through multiple cutting passes to complete the finishing process, achieving the purpose of quickly cleaning large areas of impurities.
[0019] When a single cutting head 4 is worn and needs to be replaced, first remove the tool from the spindle, then remove the fixing nut 5 and washer 6, then remove each insert holder 2 from the threaded end of the hob holder 1 in sequence, find the insert holder 2 where the worn cutting head 4 is located, install and replace it with a brand new cutting head 4, and finally reassemble the tool.
[0020] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
