Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrolytic aluminum molten aluminum transfer technology, specifically relating to an aluminum molten aluminum ladle lifting and cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] In the electrolytic aluminum industry, the aluminum molten metal transfer ladle (hereinafter referred to as the aluminum ladle) is an indispensable key piece of equipment used to transfer high-temperature electrolytic aluminum. However, during the aluminum molten metal transfer process, impurities and electrolytes in the aluminum molten metal inevitably adhere to the inner wall of the aluminum ladle. Over time, these deposits gradually accumulate, increasing the weight of the aluminum ladle and consequently affecting its normal operating efficiency and safety. Therefore, regular cleaning of the aluminum ladle is a necessary step in the electrolytic aluminum production process.
[0003] Currently, most aluminum ladle cleaning machines on the market use either fixed-diameter cleaning cutter heads or manually adjustable diameter cutter heads. However, these traditional cleaning machines have significant limitations. Because the electrolytic aluminum industry uses a variety of aluminum ladles, different manufacturers, and even within the same manufacturer, may use multiple models, traditional fixed-diameter cleaning cutter heads cannot accommodate these diverse ladle types. This necessitates purchasing multiple cleaning machines of different models to meet cleaning requirements. This not only increases project costs but also raises the operating and maintenance costs of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0011] Furthermore, both the long and short handles are equipped with handle guards.
[0012] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the tool handle protective cover can not only prevent the tool handle from being deformed, scratched and broken due to collision, but also ensure work safety.
[0013] Furthermore, the clamping and flipping mechanism includes a second fixed base and a flipping platform hinged to the second fixed base. The lower part of the flipping platform is connected to a telescopic cylinder, which is mounted on the second fixed base. Several clamping components are provided on the flipping platform.
[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the clamping components set on the flipping platform can clamp the aluminum ladle and can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the workpiece.

[0015] Furthermore, the two ends of the telescopic cylinder are respectively hinged to the second fixed base and the tilting platform via pins.
[0016] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the two ends of the telescopic cylinder are fixedly connected by a pin hinge, which allows the cylinder to flexibly adjust its angle and position as the tilting platform moves, always maintaining a reliable connection with the second fixed base and the tilting platform, avoiding stress concentration and structural deformation during the movement, thereby ensuring the stability of the clamping and tilting mechanism.
[0017] Furthermore, the clamping components include a chuck, a clamping arm, a transmission arm, and a second drive motor. The output end of the second drive motor is connected to the transmission arm, the transmission arm is hinged to the clamping arm, the clamping arm is hinged to the chuck, and the chuck is connected to the clamping hydraulic cylinder.
[0018] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the second drive motor drives the clamping arm to move through the transmission arm, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the position of the chuck and the clamping range, which can adapt to aluminum molten ladle of different sizes and shapes, while the clamping hydraulic cylinder can provide clamping power to the chuck, preventing the aluminum molten ladle from loosening or shifting during processing, transportation and cleaning, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of operation.
[0019] Furthermore, the clamping arm is mounted on the flipping platform via a fixed base plate, and the clamping arm is hinged to the fixed base plate.

[0026] like Figures 1-4As shown, the aluminum ladle cleaning device provided by this utility model includes a cutter head cleaning mechanism 1 and a clamping and flipping mechanism 2 disposed on one side of the cutter head cleaning mechanism 1. The cutter head cleaning mechanism 1 includes a cutter head 11, on which long cutter handles 12 and short cutter handles 13 are spaced apart, and cutter handle protective covers are provided on the long cutter handles 12 and short cutter handles 13.

A transmission box 16 is disposed inside the winch drum 14, and a telescopic component is disposed inside the transmission box 16. The telescopic component is connected to the short cutter handles 13. This aluminum ladle cleaning device, through the cooperation of the cutter head cleaning mechanism 1 and the clamping and flipping mechanism 2, can adapt to aluminum ladles of different diameters, greatly improving the applicability of the device and reducing production costs. The clamping and flipping mechanism 2 not only clamps the molten aluminum ladle, ensuring stability and safety during cleaning and flipping, but also has an automatic flipping function. It is easy and quick to operate, effectively improving work efficiency. The cutter head cleaning mechanism 1 includes a cutter head 11, a long cutter handle 12, and a short cutter handle 13. The telescopic component set in the transmission box 16 inside the winch 14 can drive the short cutter handle 13 to extend and retract, realizing automatic adjustment of the diameter of the cutter head 11 without manual adjustment, improving work efficiency and adjustment accuracy. It can also quickly adapt to molten aluminum ladles of different diameters, greatly improving the applicability of the cleaning device.
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the long tool holder 12 is mounted on the pressure plate, and the pressure plate is fixed to the tool disc 11 by bolts or other fasteners. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the telescopic assembly includes a first drive motor 18, a first rotating shaft, a first gear, a second gear, a lead screw 17, and a dovetail groove. The first rotating shaft is located at the output end of the first drive motor 18, the first gear is mounted on the first rotating shaft, the second gear meshes with the first gear, one end of the lead screw 17 is connected to the second gear, and a slider is mounted on the lead screw 17. The slider is connected to a short tool holder 13, which is positioned within the dovetail groove. Using the first drive motor 18 as the power source, automated control of the telescopic assembly is achieved, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and improving work efficiency and ease of operation. When the first drive motor 18 starts, it transmits rotational power to the first rotating shaft. The rotation of the first rotating shaft drives the first gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear to rotate. The rotation of the second gear drives the lead screw 17 to rotate. The thread on the lead screw 17 engages with the slider, converting the rotational motion into linear motion. The slider moves linearly on the lead screw 17, causing the short tool holder 13 to extend and retract within the dovetail groove, thus achieving the telescopic motion of the short tool holder 13. This significantly improves manual work efficiency while ensuring adjustment accuracy.
[0028] like Figure 3As shown, the clamping and flipping mechanism 2 includes a second fixed base 21 and a flipping platform 22 hinged to the second fixed base 21.

A plurality of clamping components 24 are provided on the flipping platform 22. The plurality of clamping components 24 include a chuck 241, a clamping arm 243, a transmission arm 242 and a second drive motor. The output end of the second drive motor is connected to the transmission arm 242. The transmission arm 242 is hinged to the clamping arm 243. The clamping arm 243 is set on the flipping platform 22 through a fixed base plate. The clamping arm 243 is hinged to the fixed base plate and to the chuck 241. The chuck 241 is connected to the clamping hydraulic cylinder. The second drive motor drives the clamping arm 243 to move through the transmission arm 242, thereby adjusting the position and clamping range of the chuck 241. This allows it to adapt to aluminum molten ladles of different sizes and shapes. The clamping hydraulic cylinder provides clamping power to the chuck 241, preventing the aluminum molten ladle from loosening or shifting during processing, transportation, and cleaning, thus ensuring the accuracy and stability of the operation. After the chuck 241 clamps the aluminum molten ladle, the tilting platform 22 can rotate around the hinge point because it is hinged to the second fixed base 21. Under the drive of the telescopic cylinder 23, the tilting platform 22 can be tilted at different angles.
[0029] In summary, the aluminum ladle cleaning device provided by this utility model, through the cooperation of the cleaning mechanism 1 (blade disc 11) and the clamping and flipping mechanism 2, can adapt to aluminum ladles of different diameters, achieving the purpose of cleaning multiple types of aluminum ladles with one machine, greatly improving the applicability and efficiency of the equipment, and reducing production costs.
