Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anode carbon block cleaning tools, and in particular to anode carbon block inclined groove cleaning cutter. Background Technology
[0002] The inclined channels of the anode carbon blocks require regular cleaning, primarily due to their crucial role in aluminum electrolysis production and their close connection to the actual operating environment. During production, transportation, and storage, the channels may become contaminated with impurities such as dust, carbon fragments, and oil. During electrolysis, electrolytes (such as alumina and fluoride salts) may splash or seep into the channels, forming hard crusts or deposits. These impurities fill the wedge-shaped structure of the channels, preventing the cast iron phosphate from tightly adhering to the channel walls. Excessive impurities can form an "isolation layer," significantly reducing the connection strength between the steel claws and the carbon blocks, increasing the risk of depolarization.
[0003] Traditional cleaning methods for anode carbon block inclined grooves mainly rely on manual cleaning using simple tools. This cleaning method is extremely inefficient and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the existing defects and provide an anode carbon block inclined groove cleaning tool that can adapt to the inclined groove of the anode carbon block, improve the cleaning efficiency, and meet the needs of large-scale production.
[0005] The technical solution to achieve the above objective is: an anode carbon block inclined groove cleaning tool, including a tool body support, a plurality of tool grooves are uniformly provided on the outer side wall of the tool body support, a plurality of cutting edges are detachably connected in each tool groove by a plurality of screws, a plurality of first circular through holes are uniformly provided on the upper surface of the tool body support, a pneumatic vibrator is connected to the center of the circle on the upper surface of the tool body support, a threaded structure is provided in each of the first circular through holes, and a mounting bracket is connected to the tool body support through the threaded structure.
[0006] Preferably, the threaded structure includes a bolt, a nut, and a spring. The mounting bracket is evenly provided with a plurality of second circular through holes. Each second circular through hole and its corresponding first circular through hole are into which the bolt is inserted. The end of each bolt is detachably connected to a corresponding nut. The nut is in close contact with the inner top surface of the blade body bracket. Each bolt is fitted with a corresponding spring. The upper end of the spring is in close contact with the lower surface of the mounting bracket, and the lower end of the spring is in close contact with the upper surface of the blade body bracket.
[0007] Preferably, the blade is at a certain angle to the horizontal plane.
[0008] Preferably, the blade is toothed.
[0009] Preferably, the middle end of the bolt is a smooth surface, and the end of the bolt is provided with external threads.
[0010] Preferably, the smooth surface of each bolt is slidably connected to the corresponding first circular through hole and second circular through hole.
[0011] Preferably, the output end of the pneumatic vibrator is connected to one end of an air pipe, and the other end of the air pipe passes through the mounting bracket and is externally connected to an air compressor.
[0012] Preferably, the upper end of the mounting bracket is mounted on the processing robot.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: multiple tool slots are evenly provided on the outer side wall of the tool body support, and multiple blades are detachably connected in each tool slot by multiple screws. The tool body support is detachably connected to a mounting bracket by multiple threaded structures. By controlling the blades to enter the inclined groove at a suitable angle and speed, the impurities and burrs in the inclined groove are thoroughly removed. This can effectively improve the cleaning efficiency and meet the needs of large-scale production. The unique spring thread structure between the cutter body support and the mounting bracket ensures a tight connection between them while allowing the cutter body support and multiple blades to vibrate without hindering their movement. A pneumatic vibrator is connected to the center of the upper surface of the cutter body support, which drives the cutter body support and the corresponding multiple blades to vibrate, enhancing the vibration and impact on the carbon block surface to remove impurities and ensuring the cleanliness of the inclined groove cleaning by this device.

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an anode carbon block inclined groove cleaning tool includes a tool body support 1, multiple cutting edges 3, a pneumatic vibrator 6, a mounting bracket 5, and multiple threaded structures.
[0019] Specifically, multiple tool slots 2 are evenly provided on the outer side wall of the tool holder 1. Multiple blades 3 are detachably connected to each tool slot 2 by multiple screws. When a blade 3 is damaged, it can be replaced, which facilitates the repair and maintenance of this tool. Multiple first circular through holes 4 are evenly provided on the upper surface of the tool holder 1. A pneumatic vibrator 6 is connected to the center of the circle on the upper surface of the tool holder 1. The pneumatic vibrator 6 can strengthen the vibration and knocking of impurities on the surface of the carbon block, ensuring the cleanliness of the inclined groove cleaning by this device.
[0020] Specifically, each of the first circular through holes 4 is provided with a threaded structure, and the blade support 1 is connected to the mounting bracket 5 through the threaded structure. The threaded structure includes a bolt 7, a nut 8, and a spring 9. The mounting bracket 5 is provided with a plurality of second circular through holes 10 evenly. A bolt 7 is inserted into each second circular through hole 10 and the corresponding first circular through hole 4. The middle end of the bolt 7 is a smooth surface, and the end of the bolt 7 is provided with an external thread. The smooth surface of each bolt 7 is slidably connected to the corresponding first circular through hole 4 and second circular through hole 10. This ensures that the blade support 1 and the mounting bracket 5 are tightly connected, while not hindering the vibration of the blade support 1 and the multiple blades 3. The end of each bolt 7 is detachably connected to a corresponding nut 8. The nut 8 is close to the inner top surface of the blade support 1. Each bolt 7 is fitted with a corresponding spring 9. The upper end of the spring 9 is close to the lower surface of the mounting bracket 5, and the lower end of the spring 9 is close to the upper surface of the blade support 1. Adding a spring 9 to the bolt 7 can provide constant pressure and shock absorption.
[0021] Specifically, the blade 3 has a certain angle with the horizontal plane, which ensures that the blade can be inserted into the inclined groove of the anode carbon block. The blade 3 is toothed. The upper end of the mounting bracket 5 is mounted on the processing robot (the processing robot is not shown in the figure). The output end of the pneumatic vibrator 6 is connected to one end of an air pipe (the air pipe is not shown in the figure), and the other end of the air pipe passes through the mounting bracket 5 and is connected to an air compressor (the air compressor is not shown in the figure).
[0022] Working principle: During actual cleaning, the processing robot precisely controls the blade 3 to enter the inclined groove at a suitable angle and speed based on the position and shape information of the anode carbon block inclined groove fed back by the vision detection system. Through the cutting action of the serrated blade, the impurities and burrs in the inclined groove are completely removed.
