Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for prebaked anode production, and in particular to a transversely movable jet dewatering device. Background Technology

[0002] After the prebaked anode forming process, the green anode typically requires a water bath cooling treatment. During this process, the carbon bowl structure at the top of the prebaked anode is prone to water accumulation due to immersion. Retained moisture in the carbon bowl has a significant adverse effect on subsequent roasting processes (involving carbon bowl filling) and also reduces the final quality of the prebaked anode product.

[0003] To remove water accumulation in the charcoal bowls, the current process uses a spray-blowing dewatering device at the outlet of the water bath cooling roller conveyor. However, since the charcoal blocks are conveyed laterally at a constant speed synchronized with the block output rate of the molding machine on the water bath roller conveyor, and the ordinary spray-blowing dewatering device is in a fixed position, if the prebaked anode passes under the spray-blowing dewatering device along with the conveyor roller conveyor for spraying, the charcoal bowl's passage time under the spray nozzle is too short to guarantee sufficient effective spraying time, thus failing to clean the water completely, requiring additional manual cleaning by operators. If the prebaked anode is paused for a period of time under the spray nozzle for spraying, it will delay time and increase the complexity of the production process. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a transversely movable jet-blowing dewatering device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that ordinary jet-blowing dewatering devices are limited by their fixed position. If the prebaked anode is blown under the jet-blowing device along the conveyor roller, the blowing time is too short and cannot clean it thoroughly. If the prebaked anode is paused for a period of time under the jet nozzle for blowing, it will delay the process.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model discloses a transversely movable jet-blowing dewatering device, including a prebaked anode, a carbon bowl provided on the top surface of the prebaked anode, the prebaked anode being placed on a conveying device, a support being provided on the conveying device, and a jet-blowing device being slidably connected to the support.

[0007] The blowing device includes a transmission rod, which is reciprocally slidably mounted on the bracket and rotatably connected to the bracket. The transmission rod is equipped with a blowing mechanism and a triggering mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the blowing mechanism includes a nozzle tube and an air delivery tube, the nozzle tube is fixedly connected to the transmission rod, and the nozzle tube faces downward and is matched with the position of the charcoal bowl;

[0009] The gas supply pipe is connected to the nozzle pipe, the gas supply pipe is fixedly mounted on the transmission rod, and the gas supply pipe is connected to an external gas source system.

[0010] Preferably, the support includes a vertical frame, which is horizontally arranged on the conveying device. The vertical frame is provided with a closed-loop slide rail, which includes an upper half rail and a lower half rail. The two ends of the transmission rod are rotatably slidably arranged between the upper half rail and the lower half rail.

[0011] The slide rail is arranged at an upward inclination between the forward direction of the conveying device and the horizontal plane.

[0012] Preferably, the triggering mechanism includes a trigger rod and a sensor limit switch;

[0013] The trigger rod is fixedly mounted on the transmission rod, the trigger rod faces downward and is set at an angle to the nozzle tube, and the lower part of the trigger rod covers the front of the prebaked anode;

[0014] The inductive limit switch is fixedly installed at the end of the transmission rod. The inductive limit switch is located inside the slide rail and is triggered by the slide rail.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom end of the trigger rod is provided with a counterweight end, the trigger rod has an arc-shaped structure, and the convex edge of the trigger rod is located on the side away from the prebaked anode.

[0016] Preferably, the inductive limit switch is a proximity switch, and the inductive limit switch is electrically connected to an external gas source system;

[0017] When the trigger rod is pushed to rotate by the prebaked anode, the sensing end of the inductive limit switch approaches the upper half rail and triggers the switch;

[0018] When the trigger rod hangs down naturally, the sensing end of the inductive limit switch is far away from the upper rail and does not trigger the switch.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] This invention features an inclined slide rail with an air blowing mechanism and a triggering mechanism. Air is blown by a switch triggered during the movement of the prebaked anode. The air blowing mechanism and the triggering mechanism automatically disengage and reset after following the prebaked anode for a certain distance, ensuring sufficient effective air blowing time. At the same time, the conveying process of the prebaked anode does not need to be paused, saving working time. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a transversely movable jet-blowing dewatering device, including a prebaked anode 1, a carbon bowl 2 disposed on the top surface of the prebaked anode 1, the prebaked anode 1 placed on a conveying device 3, a support 4 disposed on the conveying device 3, and a jet-blowing device 5 slidably connected to the support 4. The jet-blowing device 5 includes a transmission rod 5-1, which is reciprocally slidably disposed on the support 4 and rotatably connected to the support 4. An air-blowing mechanism 5-2 and a triggering mechanism 5-3 are disposed on the transmission rod 5-1. The conveying device 3 is a chain conveyor, and its running direction is inclined upwards.

[0028] The blowing mechanism 5-2 includes a nozzle pipe 5-2-1 and a gas supply pipe 5-2-2. The nozzle pipe 5-2-1 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 5-1, and faces downwards and aligns with the position of the charcoal bowl 2. The gas supply pipe 5-2-2 communicates with the nozzle pipe 5-2-1 and is fixedly mounted on the transmission rod 5-1. The gas supply pipe 5-2-2 is connected to an external gas source system. In the initial state, the blowing device 5 is positioned on the support 4 near the direction from which the prebaked anode 1 is approaching due to its own gravity. When the prebaked anode 1 moves along with the conveyor device 3, it enters the area below the blowing device 5, contacts the triggering mechanism 5-3, and is triggered. At this time, the blowing mechanism 5-2 rotates with the transmission rod 5-1, and the nozzle pipe 5-2-1 rotates to the position of the charcoal bowl 2 to begin blowing. Simultaneously, the blowing device 5 moves forward a certain distance with the prebaked anode 1, releases the trigger, and resets itself, completing the blowing process.

[0029] In this embodiment, a cavity is provided inside the transmission rod 5-1, and the nozzle pipe 5-2-1 and the air supply pipe 5-2-2 are connected through the cavity of the transmission rod 5-1.

[0030] The support frame 4 includes a vertical frame 4-1, which is horizontally mounted on the conveyor device 3 and fixed to both sides of the conveyor device 3, and does not move forward with the chain plate of the conveyor device 3. A closed-loop slide rail 4-2 is provided on the vertical frame 4-1. There are two slide rails 4-2, which are parallel to the travel direction of the conveyor device 3 and are located above both sides of the conveyor device 3. The slide rail 4-2 includes an upper half-rail 4-2-1 and a lower half-rail 4-2-2, which are closedly connected to form a long, narrow ring track. The two ends of the transmission rod 5-1 are reciprocally slidable between the upper half-rail 4-2-1 and the lower half-rail 4-2-2, and can rotate freely between them. That is, the transmission rod 5-1 can both rotate within the slide rail 4-2 and slide reciprocally along the slide rail 4-2. The slide rail 4-2 is arranged at an upward inclination between the conveyor 3 and the horizontal plane in the forward direction and the conveyor 3. The slide rail 4-2 is parallel to the conveyor 3.

[0031] In this embodiment, the triggering mechanism 5-3 includes a trigger rod 5-3-1 and a sensing limit switch 5-3-2. The top end of the trigger rod 5-3-1 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 5-1, and the bottom end of the trigger rod 5-3-1 is provided with a counterweight end 5-3-3. The trigger rod 5-3-1 faces downward and is set at an angle to the nozzle tube 5-2-1. The lower part of the trigger rod 5-3-1 covers the front of the prebaked anode 1. The entire trigger rod 5-3-1 has an arc-shaped structure, and the convex edge of the trigger rod 5-3-1 is located on the side away from the prebaked anode 1.

[0032] The inductive limit switch 5-3-2 is fixedly installed at both ends of the transmission rod 5-1. The inductive limit switch 5-3-2 is located inside the slide rail 4-2, and the inductive limit switch 5-3-2 is triggered and engaged with the slide rail 4-2.

[0033] In this embodiment, the inductive limit switch 5-3-2 is a proximity switch. The inductive limit switch 5-3-2 is electrically connected to the external air source system. When the inductive limit switch 5-3-2 is triggered, the air circuit system is connected and connected to the nozzle pipe 5-2-1 through the air supply pipe 5-2-2 to start blowing air. When the inductive limit switch 5-3-2 is not triggered, the air circuit system is disconnected and no air blowing occurs.

[0034] When the trigger rod 5-3-1 is rotated by the prebaked anode 1, the sensing end of the inductive limit switch 5-3-2 approaches the upper rail 4-2-1 and triggers the switch. A proximity switch is a position switch that can operate without direct mechanical contact with moving parts. When an object approaches the sensing surface of the switch to the operating distance, the switch can be activated without mechanical contact or pressure, thereby driving DC electrical appliances or providing control commands to a computer (PLC) device. Proximity switches are a commonly used existing technology (such as the CDJ10-I1A12AP with a sensing distance of 2mm), and will not be described in detail here. In this embodiment, the upper rail 4-2-1 is the sensing area that cooperates with the inductive limit switch 5-3-2. In the initial state, when the trigger rod 5-3-1 hangs naturally, the sensing end of the inductive limit switch 5-3-2 is far from the upper rail 4-2-1 and exceeds the sensing distance, so it will not be triggered. In this embodiment, the angle between the trigger rod 5-3-1 and the nozzle tube 5-2-1 is preset. The trigger rod 5-3-1 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 5-1. The transmission rod 5-1 is also fixedly connected to the inductive limit switch 5-3-2 and the nozzle tube 5-2-1. When the prebaked anode 1 moves to the front of the trigger rod 5-3-1, it begins to contact the trigger rod 5-3-1 and the counterweight end 5-3-3. As the conveying device 3 continuously pushes the prebaked anode 1 against the trigger rod 5-3-1 and the counterweight end 5-3-3, it continues to move forward. In the initial stage of the prebaked anode 1 pushing against the trigger rod 5-3-1, the trigger rod 5-3-1 rotates at a certain angle. At the same time, the sensing end of the inductive limit switch 5-3-2 also rotates upward synchronously and gradually approaches the upper half rail 4-2-1 to reach the sensing distance, thereby triggering the switch and connecting the air path of the external air source system. At the same time, the nozzle tube 5-2-1 also rotates to the corresponding position with the charcoal bowl 2 and begins to blow air.

[0035] Due to the gravity of the counterweight end 5-3-3, the prebaked anode 1 pushes the trigger rod 5-3-1 forward to continue moving. During this process, the inductive limit switch 5-3-2 remains in the triggered state, thus ensuring sufficient time to complete the blowing operation and clean the water accumulated in the charcoal bowl 2. When the prebaked anode 1 reaches the end of the slide rail 4-2, the transmission rod 5-1 is blocked by the slide rail 4-2 and cannot move forward. The prebaked anode 1 gradually disengages from the trigger rod 5-3-1 and continues to move forward. The trigger rod 5-3-1, the counterweight end 5-3-3, and the transmission rod 5-1, having lost the push from the prebaked anode 1, slide down the slide rail 4-2 to their initial positions under their own gravity. The trigger rod 5-3-1 and the inductive limit switch 5-3-2 reset to their initial states, and the air supply system is disconnected again, awaiting the next operation.

Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
