Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electric furnace equipment technology, and in particular relates to an electric furnace electrode extension device. Background Technology
[0002] Electric furnaces (including electric arc furnaces, LF furnaces, etc.) require electrodes to provide heat for the smelting process. The electrodes consist of multiple sections of "electrode components" connected by lifting rings. The upper end of the electrode component has an electrode screw hole, and the lower end has an electrode stud that engages with the screw hole. The upper end of the lifting ring has a lifting hole and a suspension hole, and the lower end has a stud that engages with the electrode screw hole. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 17 The new electrodes are fastened together through electrode screw holes and electrode studs. The lifting eye is fastened to the electrode screw hole of the uppermost new electrode, and the length of the connected electrodes meets the requirements of the smelting process.
[0003] During operation, the electrodes will gradually melt and shorten. Once the bottom section of the "new electrode" is burned off, the electrode needs to be removed from the wire and a new "new electrode" needs to be connected before it can be used again. Typically, 2 to 3 electrodes are used, and 1 to 2 electrodes need to be removed and extended.
[0004] Currently, electrode extension is achieved either manually or using an electric device. When extending electrodes manually, 3-4 workers are needed, with the assistance of a crane, to tighten the connecting threads of the new electrode and complete the extension. Existing technologies, patent publication number CN108617045A discloses an automatic electrode extension device; patent publication number CN208460863U discloses an electrode extension apparatus. Both methods involve electric electrode extension, requiring a crane and a geared motor to automatically tighten the connecting threads of the new electrode, thus completing the extension. The existing electrode extension methods and devices have the following technical shortcomings: 1) The disassembly of the electrode lifting ring still needs to be done manually; 2) A crane is required for the operation, which has problems with low thread alignment accuracy and mismatch between the crane descent speed and the thread connection speed, which can easily cause damage to the threads; 3) The tightening torque needs to overcome the spring compression force, which increases power consumption; 4) Because a crane is required, the electrode extension operation can only be completed one by one, which reduces the production rate of the electric furnace.

[0047] See Figure 1 , Figure 11 The lifting mechanism 40 includes a lifting beam 41, a lifting cylinder 42, and guide wheels 43. The lifting beam 41 is a welded component. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 42 is hinged to the lifting beam 41, and the tailstock of the lifting cylinder 42 is hinged to the supporting guide beam 10. The guide wheels 43 are bolted to both sides of the lifting beam 41, and the guide wheels 43 are clearance-fitted with the slide rail 13-1 of the supporting guide beam 10 to prevent jamming during operation. The lifting cylinder 42 can be an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. The lifting mechanism 40 consists of two parts, with clamping mechanisms 50 symmetrically arranged on them, capable of clamping the electrode 70 in the middle position of the four guide columns 13.
[0048] See Figure 1 , Figures 12-15The clamping mechanism 50 includes a pull rod 51, a pull rod shaft 52, a hydraulic cylinder 53, and a clamping block 54.

[0049] See Figures 1-15 The working process of the electric furnace electrode 70 extension device:
[0050] 1. Preparation stage: There are 5 workstation holes 21-1. The middle workstation hole 21-1 is used as the extension workstation hole 21-1 for electrode 70, and the new electrode 2 is not suspended. The other 4 workstation holes 21-1 are used as spare workstation holes 21-1, and the new electrode 2 needs to be suspended in advance.
[0051] Use a crane to insert the new electrode 2 into the spare parts station hole 21-1. Use a robot arm 60 to insert the round steel 34 in the U-shaped seat 27 into the lifting ring 1 and shift fork 33 of the new electrode 2 to suspend the new electrode 2. Then release the crane from the occupancy.
[0052] 2. Electrode 70 Extension Stage: A crane is used to lift the electrode 70 to be extended from the electric furnace working position to the extension station hole 21-1 and insert it into the extension station hole 21-1. After the lifting cylinder 42 of the lifting mechanism 40 drives the clamping mechanism 50 to rise to the upper limit position, the clamping mechanism 50 clamps the electrode 70 to be extended. The round steel 34 in the U-shaped seat 27 is inserted into the lifting ring 1 and the shift fork 33 of the electrode 70 to be extended by the robot arm 60, suspending the electrode 70.
[0053] 3. The rotating mechanism 30 rotates in the reverse direction to disassemble the lifting ring 1 of the electrode to be extended 70. The round steel 34 in the shift fork 33 is sent back to the U-shaped seat 27 by the robotic arm 60. The crane sends the lifting ring 1 of the electrode to be extended 70 to the storage position and releases the crane from its occupancy. The lifting mechanism 40 lowers the electrode to be extended 70 to the lower limit position. The transverse trolley 20 moves the new electrode 2 laterally to the extension station hole 21-1. The lifting mechanism 40 raises the electrode to be extended 70 so that the screw hole of the upper part of the electrode 70 is aligned with the stud at the lower end of the new electrode 2. The rotating mechanism 30 rotates in the forward direction to tighten the new electrode 2 onto the electrode to be extended 70, realizing the extension work of the electrode to be extended 70. The transverse trolley 20 returns to the initial position, laying the groundwork for the next extension work of the electrode 70.
[0054] This utility model can realize automatic disassembly of electrode 70 lifting ring 1 and multi-station extension operation. It has the characteristics of high thread alignment accuracy, low tightening power, small footprint, freeing up crane operation rate and improving electric furnace production operation rate.
