Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolytic cell technology, and in particular to an auxiliary tooling for the inspection and maintenance of electrolytic cells. Background Technology
[0002] In the inspection and maintenance of electrolytic cells, traditional gripping and handling methods have the following technical problems: Existing tooling mostly relies on manual operation or simple mechanical structures for gripping. When there are impurities on the surface of the electrolytic cell, it is easy to cause poor contact between the gripping device and the electrolytic cell, resulting in risks such as slippage and detachment, which affects the safety and efficiency of the operation; Traditional tooling requires manual assistance to complete operations such as gripping, positioning and releasing, and cannot cooperate efficiently with automated equipment such as robots, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern industrial intelligent maintenance; Existing devices lack reliable positioning and anti-fallback structures, and gripping may fail due to accidental fallback of the tooling during handling.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, an automated electrolytic cell inspection and maintenance auxiliary tooling is provided that works in conjunction with a robot. Through structural innovation, it achieves automatic debris removal, reliable gripping and positioning, and anti-fall-back functions, thereby improving maintenance efficiency and safety. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide an auxiliary tooling for the inspection and maintenance of electrolytic cells. It is equipped with a lifting rod for a robot to grasp. When the base is placed on the grasping surface, the base rises under force through the guide post and limiting hole, causing the connecting rod to rotate inward, so that the bottom end of the lifting claw is embedded in the groove. The rising of the base also causes the end of the silicone sheet to rise, allowing the silicone sheet to shake off debris and prevent it from affecting the grasping effect of the lifting claw. At this time, the bottom end of the rotating positioning rod enters the limiting groove through the through hole on the upper surface of the base. The top rod inside the base abuts against the rotating positioning rod, allowing the top of the rotating positioning rod to rise inside the guide sleeve. Simultaneously, the protrusion on the side surface of the rotating positioning rod is affected by the upper and lower guide sleeves, causing the rotating positioning rod to rotate, so that the bottom end of the rotating positioning rod is stuck inside the limiting groove, preventing the base from falling back and causing the lifting claw to be unable to grasp the electrolytic cell. Once the electrolytic cell is placed in the designated position, the base, under force, causes the rotating positioning rod, connecting rod, and lifting claw to reset, completing the automatic release and allowing the electrolytic cell to detach.
[0005] This utility model also provides an auxiliary tooling for the inspection and maintenance of an electrolytic cell, comprising: a fixed base, a lifting rod at the top of the fixed base, a nut at the bottom of the lifting rod, an upper guide sleeve and a lower guide sleeve fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the fixed base, a rotating positioning rod slidably connected to the inner side wall of the upper and lower guide sleeves, a protrusion fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating positioning rod, a limit hole at the bottom of the fixed base, a guide post slidably connected to the inner side wall of the limit hole; and a base, a through hole on the upper surface of the base, a limiting groove inside the base, a top rod fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the limiting groove, a connecting rod on the side surface of the base, and a lifting claw at the end of the connecting rod away from the base. The above components include a lifting rod for the robot to grasp. When the base is placed on the grasping surface, the base rises under pressure via the guide post and limiting hole, causing the connecting rod to flip inward, so that the bottom end of the lifting claw is embedded in the groove. The rising base also causes the end of the silicone sheet to rise, allowing the silicone sheet to shake off any debris, preventing it from affecting the gripping effect. At this time, the bottom end of the rotating positioning rod enters the limiting groove through the through hole on the upper surface of the base. The top rod inside the base holds the rotating positioning rod, causing its top to rise inside the guide sleeve. Simultaneously, the protrusion on the side surface of the rotating positioning rod, influenced by the upper and lower guide sleeves, causes the rotating positioning rod to rotate, locking the bottom end of the rotating positioning rod inside the limiting groove. This prevents the base from falling back and causing the lifting claw to be unable to grasp the electrolytic cell. Once the electrolytic cell is placed in the designated position, the base, under pressure, causes the rotating positioning rod, connecting rod, and lifting claw to reset, automatically releasing and allowing the electrolytic cell to detach.
[0006] According to the auxiliary tooling for inspection and maintenance of an electrolytic cell described in this utility model, the lower surface of the upper guide sleeve and the upper surface of the lower guide sleeve are wavy, and the protrusions are located between the upper and lower guide sleeves. There are two protrusions located on both sides of the rotating positioning rod. Through these components, the protrusions can drive the rotating positioning rod to rotate when they move up and down between the upper and lower guide sleeves.
[0007] According to the auxiliary tooling for inspection and maintenance of an electrolytic cell described in this utility model, the bottom end of the rotating positioning rod is rectangular, and several limiting holes and guide posts are arranged in an array at the bottom end of the fixed base. These components allow the rotating positioning rod to enter the limiting groove through the through hole.
[0008] According to the auxiliary tooling for inspection and maintenance of an electrolytic cell described in this utility model, mounting components are fixedly connected to the side surface of the fixed base. Three mounting components are arranged in an array on the side surface of the fixed base. These components facilitate the restraint of the lifting claws, enabling them to properly grip the electrolytic cell.
[0009] According to the auxiliary tooling for inspection and maintenance of an electrolytic cell described in this utility model, the upper surface of the base is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the guide column, and the through hole matches the bottom end of the rotating positioning rod. These components enable the base to rise and fall stably via the guide column, preventing base displacement and allowing the bottom end of the rotating positioning rod to pass normally through the through hole.
[0010] According to the auxiliary tooling for inspection and maintenance of an electrolytic cell described in this utility model, the top end of the lifting claw is disposed inside the mounting component, and the bottom end of the lifting claw is inclined upward. These components ensure a more stable gripping action by the lifting claw, preventing the electrolytic cell from falling off.
[0011] According to the auxiliary tooling for inspection and maintenance of an electrolytic cell described in this utility model, a pivot pin is provided between the base, connecting rod, lifting claw, and mounting component. These components allow rotation among the base, connecting rod, lifting claw, and mounting component, enabling the gripping of the electrolytic cell.
[0012] According to the auxiliary tooling for the inspection and maintenance of an electrolytic cell described in this utility model, a silicone sheet is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, and the end of the silicone sheet away from the base is fixedly connected to the end of the lifting claw away from the mounting component. These components increase the friction between the lifting claw and the electrolytic cell, preventing the electrolytic cell from falling off, and allow debris on the surface of the silicone sheet to be shaken off as the base rises, preventing debris from affecting the gripping effect.
[0013] Beneficial effects:
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model is equipped with a lifting rod for the robot to grasp. When the base is placed on the grasping surface, the base rises through the guide post and the limiting hole under force, causing the connecting rod to flip inward, so that the bottom end of the lifting claw is embedded in the groove. When the base rises, it can also cause the end of the silicone sheet to rise, so that the silicone sheet can shake off the debris on its surface and prevent the debris from affecting the grasping effect of the lifting claw. At this time, the bottom end of the rotating positioning rod enters the limiting groove through the through hole on the upper surface of the base. The top rod inside the base abuts against the rotating positioning rod, which can cause the top of the rotating positioning rod to rise inside the guide sleeve. At the same time, the protrusion on the side surface of the rotating positioning rod is affected by the upper and lower guide sleeves, causing the rotating positioning rod to rotate, so that the bottom end of the rotating positioning rod is stuck inside the limiting groove, preventing the base from falling back and causing the lifting claw to be unable to grasp the electrolytic cell. After the electrolytic cell is placed in the designated position, the base is forced to reset the rotating positioning rod, the connecting rod and the lifting claw, and the electrolytic cell is automatically released and detached.

[0022] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an auxiliary tooling for the inspection and maintenance of an electrolytic cell, comprising: a fixed base 1, with mounting parts 16 fixedly connected to the side surface of the fixed base 1, three mounting parts 16 arranged in an array on the side surface of the fixed base 1, a lifting rod 2 at the top of the fixed base 1, a nut 3 at the bottom of the lifting rod 2, an upper guide sleeve 4 and a lower guide sleeve 5 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed base 1, the lower surface of the upper guide sleeve 4 and the upper surface of the lower guide sleeve 5 being wavy, a rotating positioning rod 6 slidably connected to the inner wall of the upper guide sleeve 4 and the lower guide sleeve 5, the bottom end of the rotating positioning rod 6 being rectangular, a protrusion 7 fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating positioning rod 6, the protrusion 7 being located between the upper guide sleeve 4 and the lower guide sleeve 5, two protrusions 7 being located on both sides of the rotating positioning rod 6, a limiting hole 8 being opened at the bottom of the fixed base 1, a guide post 9 slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting hole 8, several limiting holes 8 and guide posts 9 being arranged in an array at the bottom of the fixed base 1.
[0024] Specifically, the nut 3 is used to fasten the lifting rod 2, so that the robot can grasp the device. When the rotating positioning rod 6 moves up and down inside the upper guide sleeve 4 and the lower guide sleeve 5, the protrusion 7 will rotate when it moves up and down because the lower surface of the upper guide sleeve 4 and the upper surface of the lower guide sleeve 5 are wavy, thereby driving the rotating positioning rod 6 to rotate.
[0025] The base 10 has its upper surface fixedly connected to the lower surface of the guide post 9. A through hole 11 is provided on the upper surface of the base 10, which matches the bottom end of the rotating positioning rod 6. A limiting groove 12 is provided inside the base 10, and a top rod 13 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the limiting groove 12. A connecting rod 14 is provided on the side surface of the base 10, and a lifting claw 15 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 14 away from the base 10. The top end of the lifting claw 15 is located inside the mounting part 16, and the bottom end of the lifting claw 15 is inclined upward. A shaft pin 17 is provided between the base 10, the connecting rod 14, the lifting claw 15 and the mounting part 16. A silicone sheet 18 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 10, and the end of the silicone sheet 18 away from the base 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the lifting claw 15 away from the mounting part 16.
[0026] Specifically, when the device is used to grip the electrolytic cell, when the base 10 is lifted under force, it slides inside the limiting hole 8 through the guide post 9, making the rise of the base 10 more stable and preventing the base 10 from deviating. The rise of the base 10 can drive the connecting rod 14 to flip inward through the shaft pin 17, and through the shaft pin 17 between the connecting rod 14 and the claw 15, the claw 15 is driven to cooperate with the mounting part 16 so that the bottom end of the claw 15 grips inward and is locked into the electrolytic cell to achieve stable gripping. When the base 10 rises, the bottom end of the rotating positioning rod 6 will pass through the through hole 11 and enter the limiting groove 12. Since the lower surface of the upper guide sleeve 4 and the upper surface of the lower guide sleeve 5 are wavy, the rotating positioning rod 6 will rotate when it drives the protrusion 7 to rise and fall in it, thereby driving the rotating positioning rod 6 to rotate, so that the bottom end of the rotating positioning rod 6 is locked inside the limiting groove 12 to prevent the claw 15 from falling off.
[0027] Working principle: During the use of the device, the nut 3 is set to tighten the lifting rod 2, which facilitates the robot to grasp the device. When the device is used to grasp the electrolytic cell, the base 10 rises under force. The guide post 9 slides inside the limiting hole 8, making the rise of the base 10 more stable and preventing the base 10 from deviating. The rise of the base 10 can drive the connecting rod 14 to flip inward through the shaft pin 17. Through the shaft pin 17 between the connecting rod 14 and the lifting claw 15, the lifting claw 15 cooperates with the mounting part 16 to make the bottom end of the lifting claw 15 grasp inward and lock into the electrolytic cell to achieve stable grasping. When the base 10 rises, the bottom end of the rotating positioning rod 6 will pass through the through hole 11 and enter the limiting groove 12. Since the lower surface of the upper guide sleeve 4 and the upper surface of the lower guide sleeve 5 are wavy, the rotating positioning rod 6 will rotate when it drives the protrusion 7 to rise and fall in it, thereby driving the rotating positioning rod 6 to rotate. This makes the bottom end of the rotating positioning rod 6 lock into the limiting groove 12, preventing the lifting claw 15 from falling off.
[0028] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
