Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of graphite electrode processing technology, and in particular to a graphite electrode retrieval and weighing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of graphite electrode processing technology, the cooling and transfer processes of graphite electrode green blanks are crucial for ensuring product quality and production efficiency. With the widespread application of graphite electrodes in industries such as metallurgy and chemicals, market demands for their production efficiency and quality are constantly increasing, and traditional methods for cooling and transferring graphite electrode green blanks are gradually revealing many shortcomings.

[0003] Currently, most companies still employ relatively traditional manual or semi-automated operation methods in the cooling and transfer of graphite electrode green blanks. In the cooling stage, graphite electrode green blanks are typically transported to the cooling water tank manually. Due to the large size and heavy weight of the green blanks, manual handling is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also prone to causing surface bumps and scratches due to improper operation, affecting product quality. Furthermore, manual operation makes it difficult to precisely control the placement and cooling time of the green blanks in the cooling water tank, resulting in uneven cooling and reduced performance stability.

[0004] In terms of transfer and weighing, the traditional method involves manually or using simple equipment to move the cooled green billets to the weighing area again, which also carries the risk of damage to the green billets. Furthermore, multiple handling operations increase the complexity of the process, leading to longer production cycles and failing to meet the demands of large-scale production. In addition, manual weighing is not only inefficient but also prone to measurement errors, affecting product quality control and the accuracy of subsequent processing steps.

[0005] With the deepening application of intelligent manufacturing technology in the industrial field, the graphite electrode processing industry urgently needs a set of equipment with a high degree of automation that can accurately control the cooling and weighing process to solve the problems of low efficiency, unstable quality, and high labor intensity of traditional methods, so as to realize the high efficiency, automation and precision of the graphite electrode green blank cooling and transfer process, and improve the production competitiveness and product quality level of enterprises. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems existing in the prior art and provide a graphite electrode retrieval and weighing device. Through the cooperation of the above modules, the automated transfer and cooling of graphite electrode blanks can be realized, improving the cooling efficiency of the blanks and reducing the degree of impact during electrode transfer.

[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a graphite electrode retrieval and weighing device, comprising a cooling water tank, a green blank handling module, and a weighing and transfer module connected in sequence. A graphite electrode green blank inlet is provided on one side of the cooling water tank, and a shelf is provided on the opposite side of the cooling water tank. The graphite electrode green blank rolls down from the inlet to the shelf by gravity.

[0008] The green blank handling module includes a handling bracket, a motion mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. The motion mechanism is movably mounted on the handling bracket and has a crossbeam structure. The motion mechanism can reciprocate along the length of the cooling water pool on the handling bracket. The middle part of the motion mechanism is connected to the lifting mechanism, which can realize the up and down movement of the lifting mechanism. The lifting end of the lifting mechanism can extend into the placement frame to lift the graphite electrode green blank.

[0009] The weighing and transfer module includes a weighing device installed below the transport support.

[0010] To further optimize this utility model, the following technical solutions may be preferred:

[0011] Preferably, the cooling water pool is provided with a material discharge ramp at the feed inlet, the material discharge ramp extends to the bottom of the cooling water pool, and the angle between the material discharge ramp and the horizontal plane is 30 to 60 degrees.

[0012] Preferably, the shelf is an L-shaped comb-tooth type.

[0013] Preferably, the weighing device is provided with a V-shaped groove for fixing the graphite electrode blank.

[0014] Preferably, the lifting end of the lifting mechanism is a comb-shaped lifting claw, and the comb-shaped lifting claw is staggered with the comb teeth of the shelf.

[0015] Preferably, the transport bracket has two sets arranged on both sides of the cooling water pool, and the transport bracket is provided with guide rails along the length of the cooling water pool, and the motion mechanism moves along the guide rails on the motion mechanism.

[0016] Preferably, a lifting and transfer frame is provided at the weighing device location. The lifting and transfer frame includes a lifting mechanism and a support frame. The lifting mechanism is vertically mounted at the feeding end of the support frame. The lifting end of the lifting mechanism is provided with a ramp inclined towards the discharge direction. The lifting mechanism lifts the graphite electrode blank at the weighing device and removes it from the weighing device, moving it towards the discharge direction under the action of gravity.

[0017] This utility model has the following effects:

[0018] (1) High-efficiency automated cooling and transfer: The cooling water tank inlet is combined with the material dropping ramp, so that the graphite electrode blank can automatically roll down to the shelf by gravity without manual intervention; the motion mechanism of the blank handling module can move back and forth along the length of the cooling water tank, and the lifting mechanism can move up and down to accurately lift the blank on the shelf. Combined with the weighing and transfer module, the whole process does not require manual handling, realizing the fully automated process of graphite electrode blank from cooling to weighing and transfer, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0019] (2) Reduce green billet collision damage: The setting of the material dropping ramp allows the green billet to slide smoothly into the cooling water pool, avoiding collision damage caused by free fall; the comb-shaped lifting claws of the lifting mechanism and the L-shaped comb-shaped storage rack are staggered, so that the force can be evenly distributed when grabbing the green billet, preventing the surface of the green billet from being scratched; the V-shaped groove on the weighing device and the ramp design of the lifting and transfer frame also ensure that the green billet is smoothly transferred during the transfer process, greatly reducing the degree of collision during the electrode transfer process and effectively ensuring product quality.

[0020] (3) Precise control of the cooling process: The rack in the cooling water tank can keep the green billets at a reasonable distance in the cooling water tank, ensuring that the cooling medium can fully contact the green billets and achieve uniform cooling; the angle design of the material dropping slope with the horizontal plane at 30-60 degrees can control the rolling speed of the green billets, avoid the accumulation of green billets, further optimize the cooling effect, and improve the performance stability of the green billets.

[0021] (4) Improve weighing accuracy and efficiency: The V-groove on the weigher can accurately fix the graphite electrode green billet, prevent the green billet from shaking during weighing, and ensure the accuracy of the weighing data; the lifting mechanism of the lifting transfer frame can lift the weighed green billet, so that it can move automatically towards the discharge direction under the action of gravity, realize rapid transfer, reduce the dwell time of the green billet in the weighing area, improve weighing efficiency, and also facilitate the connection of subsequent processes.

[0022] (5) Stable structure and easy maintenance: Two sets of transport brackets are set on both sides of the cooling water pool and equipped with guide rails to provide a stable running track for the motion mechanism, ensuring that the green billet transport process is smooth and reliable; each module has a reasonable structural design, the components are closely connected and easy to disassemble, and the problematic components can be quickly located during equipment maintenance and repair, reducing maintenance difficulty and cost, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] This graphite electrode retrieval and weighing device includes a cooling water tank 101, a green blank handling module, and a weighing and transfer module.

[0032] The cooling water tank 101 is constructed of concrete and contains a certain amount of water for cooling the freshly fed graphite electrode green blank 401. A feed inlet is located on one side of the cooling water tank 101, and a discharge ramp 201 is provided corresponding to the feed inlet. This discharge ramp 201 extends to the bottom of the cooling water tank 101 at a 30-degree angle to the horizontal plane. The ramp surface is smooth and flat, ensuring that the green blank 401 can roll smoothly and quickly into the cooling water tank 101 under gravity. An L-shaped comb-tooth shelf 103 is provided on the other side of the cooling water tank 101 opposite the feed inlet. After the green blank 401 rolls into the cooling water tank 101, it will stop at the shelf 103 for subsequent handling.

[0033] The green billet handling module includes two sets of handling brackets 201, a motion mechanism 202, and a lifting mechanism 203. The two sets of handling brackets 201 are respectively installed on both sides of the cooling water tank 101. Guide rails are provided on the upper part of the handling brackets 201 along the length of the cooling water tank 101. The motion mechanism 202 is movably connected to the handling brackets 201 via the guide rails, ensuring stable movement of the motion mechanism 202 on the handling brackets 201 without deviation or falling. The motion mechanism 202 is a beam structure with a drive device 205. The drive device 205 is electrically driven and can drive the motion mechanism 202 to move horizontally back and forth along the guide rails on the handling brackets 201. The lifting mechanism 203 is connected to the middle part of the motion mechanism 202 and is also electrically driven, enabling vertical movement of the lifting mechanism 203. The lifting end of the lifting mechanism 203 is configured as a comb-shaped lifting claw 204, which is staggered with the comb teeth of the shelf 103 so that it can extend into the shelf 103 to lift the graphite electrode blank 401 placed thereon.

[0034] The weighing and transfer module includes a weighing device 301 located below the transport bracket 201 and a lifting and transfer frame. The weighing device 301 is fixedly installed on the ground, and its upper end is provided with a V-shaped groove for fixing the graphite electrode blank 401. This V-shaped groove can accurately position the blank 401 during weighing, prevent the blank from shaking, and ensure the accuracy of the weighing data. The lifting and transfer frame includes a lifting mechanism 302 and a support frame. The lifting mechanism 302 can be raised and lowered at the feeding end of the support frame, and the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 302 is provided with a ramp inclined towards the discharge direction.

[0035] Combination Figure 2 The cooling water tank 101 is constructed of concrete and contains a certain amount of water for cooling the freshly unloaded green billets 401. The surface of the tank slope 201 is flat and forms a 30-degree angle with the horizontal plane. The placement rack 103 is an L-shaped comb-tooth type.

[0036] Combination Figure 3 The transport support 201 comprises two supports, installed on both sides of the water tank 101. The upper part of the transport support 201 is connected to the motion mechanism 202 via a guide rail, ensuring that the motion mechanism 202 does not shift or fall off the transport support 201. The motion mechanism 202 has a drive device 205, which can be electrically driven to achieve horizontal movement. The gripping mechanism 204 and the motion mechanism 202 are connected via a lifting mechanism 203. The lifting mechanism can electrically move the gripping mechanism 204 up and down. The lower part of the gripping mechanism is comb-shaped, allowing it to extend into the placement rack 103 to lift the green billet 401.

[0037] Combination Figure 4 The weighing mechanism 301 is fixed to the ground, and its upper end has a V-shaped groove for fixing the green billet 401. The upper end of the lifting mechanism 302 has a certain slope. When the lifting mechanism 302 rises, the green billet 401 will be lifted up and move downward under the action of gravity.

[0038] The working principle of this device is as follows: The freshly produced green billet 401 rolls down the ramp 201 into the cooling water tank 101 and stops at the placement rack 103. The gripping mechanism 204 lowers to its lowest position, and the moving mechanism 202 continues to move forward until the gripping mechanism 204 is fully extended under the green billet 401. The gripping mechanism 204 rises, lifting the green billet 401 above the upper edge of the water tank 101. The moving mechanism 202 moves towards the weighing mechanism 301, until it is directly above it. The gripping mechanism 204 lowers until the green billet 401 is in complete contact with the weighing mechanism 301. The moving mechanism 202 continues to move to the right until it detaches from the green billet 401, and the gripping mechanism 204 rises to the highest point above the green billet 401. The moving mechanism then moves to the left to its initial position. The weighing mechanism 301 begins to bear the weight and records the data. After the weighing process is completed, the lifting mechanism 302 rises, lifting the green billet 401 and detaching it from the weighing mechanism 301. Under the influence of gravity, the green blank 401 moves to the end of the transfer frame.
