Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of copper electrode tiles for submerged arc furnaces, and in particular to a clamping device for copper electrode tiles in submerged arc furnaces. Background Technology
[0002] In the smelting process of electric arc furnaces, the copper electrode tiles are key conductive components, and their clamping and fixing effect directly affects the stability of current transmission and smelting efficiency. However, existing clamping devices for copper electrode tiles in electric arc furnaces have many shortcomings. Because the copper electrode tiles generate a large amount of heat during smelting, existing clamping devices lack effective heat dissipation measures, causing the copper tiles to degrade in high-temperature environments and even affecting their service life. Furthermore, the clamping plates in the clamping device will experience wear and deformation after long-term use, but the existing structure makes disassembly and replacement of the clamping plates very difficult, which is detrimental to equipment maintenance and upkeep.
[0003] Therefore, we designed a multi-roller sliding contact power supply device to meet the needs of practical applications. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the existing technology by proposing a copper tile clamping device for an electric arc furnace electrode.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A clamping device for copper electrode tiles in a submerged arc furnace is designed, comprising a housing, a clamping mechanism inside the housing, an installation and removal mechanism on the clamping mechanism, a sliding rod fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing, a slider slidably mounted on the sliding rod, a box fixedly mounted on the top of the slider, an installation block inserted into the inner wall of the box, a clamping plate on the top of the installation block, a bracket fixedly mounted on the side of the box, and a fan fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the bracket.
[0007] The installation and dismantling mechanism includes a frame, which is fixedly installed on the side of the box. A first motor is fixedly installed on the side of the frame. The shaft end of the first motor passes through the frame and is fixedly installed with a rotating rod. The rotating rod is threaded and has a plug connected to it. The plug slides on the inner wall of the frame. One end of the plug passes through the inner wall of the box. The installation block has a slot.
[0008] In detail, a second motor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing. The second motor is vertically arranged, and a turntable is fixedly installed on the shaft end of the second motor.
[0009] In detail, the turntable is in the shape of a circular plate, the turntable is horizontally set, and a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the turntable.
[0010] In detail, a receiving block is fixedly installed on the side of the slider, and the bottom end of the receiving block is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod, which is a strip-shaped rod.
[0011] In detail, there are two sliding rods, both of which are cylindrical rods and are horizontally arranged. There are also two sliders, both of which are square blocks.
[0012] In detail, there are two boxes, both of which are square boxes with an opening at the top. The mounting block is also square.
[0013] In detail, the frame is a square frame, the insert is a square block, and the slot is a square groove.
[0014] Core function: When the copper electrode tile of the electric arc furnace needs to be clamped, the copper electrode tile is placed between the clamping plates on both sides. Then, the second motor is started, which drives the turntable to rotate. When the turntable rotates, it drives the sliders on both sides to move towards each other along the surface of the sliders through the connecting rods and receiving blocks on both sides. When the sliders move towards each other, they drive the clamping plates on both sides to move towards each other through the boxes and mounting blocks on both sides until the clamping plates on both sides clamp and fix the copper electrode tile of the electric arc furnace.
[0015] When it is necessary to dissipate heat from the clamped copper electrode tiles of the electric arc furnace, the fan is started. The fan will blow air onto the clamping plate. The clamping plate is made of a material with good heat absorption, which is convenient for dissipating heat from the copper electrode tiles of the electric arc furnace.
[0016] When it is necessary to disassemble the clamping plate, start the first motor. The first motor drives the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod is threaded, which will drive the insert block to slide in a straight line along the inner wall of the frame until one end of the insert block leaves the slot. This releases the fixing of the mounting block, making it easy to remove the mounting block from the box and achieve the purpose of disassembling the clamping plate, which is conducive to the replacement of the clamping plate.
[0017] The design scheme proposed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects in application:
[0018] 1. By setting up a clamping mechanism, it serves to clamp and fix the copper electrode tiles of the electric arc furnace, and at the same time has a blowing and heat dissipation function, which is beneficial to the clamping and use of the copper electrode tiles of the electric arc furnace.
[0019] 2. The installation and removal mechanism facilitates the installation and removal of the clamps, making it easy to disassemble and replace them. Attached Figure Description
