Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrolytic aluminum anode steel claw welding technology, specifically relating to an auxiliary device for welding explosive weld plates of electrolytic aluminum anode steel claws. Background Technology

[0002] Anode steel claws are important components that connect the anode carbon block and the aluminum busbar in the electrolytic aluminum production process. Their conductivity and service life greatly affect the power consumption and economic benefits of electrolytic aluminum production.

[0003] Currently, traditional cast steel claws are made by directly remelting scrap steel, mixed steel, and discarded steel claws without following the casting process. This results in a high rate of deformation and damage to anode steel claws during aluminum electrolysis production (approximately 20%–35% of the total number of claws used), a large amount of repair required, and increased production costs. To achieve energy conservation, cost reduction, and efficiency improvement, friction welding technology is used to manufacture full-section welded structural anode steel claws to replace cast steel claws, thereby saving electricity, reducing maintenance costs, and extending product lifespan.

[0004] After welding, the top of the structural anode steel claw needs to be connected to the guide rod. Currently, due to the narrow design of the steel claw crossbeam, it is necessary to weld explosive welding pieces and explosive welding rods to meet the welding requirements of the guide rod. Previously, measurement and marking were used for determination and welding, but due to human factors, the work efficiency was low and the welding flatness was poor.

[0005] In view of the above factors, an auxiliary device for welding explosive welding pieces of electrolytic aluminum anode steel claws is provided. It has a simple structure, is easy to use, improves work efficiency, and can ensure the flatness of the weld. Utility Model Content

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0034] like Figure 1-6As shown, an auxiliary device for welding explosive weld sheets with electrolytic aluminum anode steel claws is characterized in that it includes an auxiliary device A, which includes a first positioning frame 1 and a second positioning frame 2, and the first positioning frame 1 and the second positioning frame 2 are detachably connected.

[0035] An adsorption device 3 is slidably disposed between the first positioning frame 1 and the second positioning frame 2, and the adsorption device 3 is symmetrically disposed between the first positioning frame 1 and the second positioning frame 2.

[0036] To facilitate position adjustment during use by setting positioning rails and sliding rails, the first positioning frame 1 has a through positioning rail 4, and the second positioning frame 2 has a sliding rail 5 symmetrical to the positioning rail 4. The sliding rail 5 is a non-through rail.

[0037] The aforementioned positioning rail and sliding rail can be adjusted and fixed using bolts according to the width of the steel claw, and adjusted according to the actual width of the anode steel claw.

[0038] To facilitate the adsorption and fixation of steel strips during use, and to facilitate adjustment and loading / unloading, the adsorption device 3 includes four magnetic blocks, with each pair of magnetic blocks arranged symmetrically. Each magnetic block has a through hole 6 at its center, which corresponds to the positioning track 4 and the sliding track 5.

[0039] The positioning track 4 and the sliding track 5 are set in different forms.

[0040] To facilitate the installation of the sliding track for mounting bolts and fixing them to the first positioning frame 1 with nuts during use, the sliding track 5 has a groove structure. The depth of the sliding track 5 is one-third of the thickness of the second positioning frame 2, and the sliding track 5 is fitted with the bolts.

[0041] The first positioning frame 1 and the second positioning frame 2 are fixed to the magnetic block by bolts;

[0042] The bottom of the bolt passes through the sliding rail 5, the magnetic block is sleeved on the bolt, and the first positioning frame 1 passes through the positioning rail 4 through the bolt and is fastened to the end face of the magnetic block by a nut.

[0043] When in use, the top of the structural anode steel claw needs to be welded with explosive weld plates when connecting to the guide rod. Due to the design of the width of the anode steel claw beam, some require welding of steel strips to achieve the same size as the guide rod. In order to meet the usage requirements and improve work efficiency, the steel strips are adsorbed by auxiliary device A during use. At this time, the steel strips are adsorbed at the magnetic block position on the bottom surface of the second positioning frame 2. After the steel strips are adsorbed by auxiliary device A, they are placed on both sides of the top of the structural anode steel claw. The steel strips are then spot welded, and auxiliary device A can be removed.

[0044] Adjust the position of the adsorption device according to the width of the anode steel claw and the width of the steel strip. Loosen the nut and adjust it through the adjustment device B or in manual mode. Fix it according to the actual positioning point (magnetic attraction). Use a welding machine to spot weld and fix the steel strip. After spot welding and fixing the double steel strips, remove the auxiliary device A.

[0045] To facilitate the use of the first positioning frame 1 and the second positioning frame 2, the magnetic blocks are made of magnets or strong magnets, and their shape and magnetism are selected according to the usage conditions. The first positioning frame 1 and the second positioning frame 2 are made of weak magnetic material or magnetic material welded structure.

The output end of the electric cylinder 8 extends between the first positioning frame 1 and the second positioning frame 2 and contacts the adsorption device 3.

[0051] The first positioning frame 1 of the auxiliary device A has a scale line 10 on its end face.

[0052] The aforementioned adjustment device B is an open groove structure. Two sets of electric cylinders are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides inside the adjustment device B. The output end of each set of electric cylinders extends between the first positioning frame 1 and the second positioning frame 2 and contacts the adsorption device 3. The parallel movement causes the magnetic blocks to change their relative distance.
