Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anode guide rod transportation and loading auxiliary tools, specifically an aluminum electrolysis anode guide rod clamp. Background Technology

[0002] Anode guide rods are crucial conductive components in electrolytic aluminum production. When anode guide rods are mounted on a forklift via a catenary system for cross-regional transfers and lifting / unloading operations, the forklifts typically pass the rods directly through the bottom steel claws to mount them or rest them on the forklift mast. This process carries risks such as guide rod instability and swaying, guide rod cylinder liners falling from heights, driver misalignment, and surface deformation due to impacts. Safety-wise, this could lead to vehicle damage, mechanical injuries, and other accidents. Labor-wise, bent or deformed guide rods increase the workload for electrolytic operators during anode replacement. Energy-wise, uneven guide rod surfaces can cause excessive surface resistance in the anode guide rod assembly, resulting in energy loss.

[0003] Therefore, in response to the aforementioned problems, it is necessary to design an auxiliary tool that can solve these technical issues and better assist operators in carrying out operations such as mounting the anode guide rod on the overhead catenary system with a forklift, conducting cross-regional transfer operations, and lifting and unloading operations, thereby ensuring the safety of operators and transportation equipment. Utility Model Content

It can clamp the anode guide rod firmly, has an adjustable clamping angle, a wide range of applications, saves time and effort, and ensures the safety of operators and equipment.

[0005] This utility model discloses an aluminum electrolysis anode guide rod clamp, including a clamp base, with hydraulic cylinder bases fixedly installed on opposite sides of the inner wall of the clamp base, and a push rod base fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the clamp base. One end of a hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the hydraulic cylinder base on the opposite side by bolts, and the other end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to a push rod by bolts. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the push rod, and the bottom end of the fixing rod is hinged to the push rod base by bolts.

[0006] The push rod has a push rod ball head fixedly installed on its side wall, and a clamp is connected to the end of the push rod ball head.

[0007] The clamping base is securely mounted on a forklift. Powered by a hydraulic cylinder, it utilizes a push rod in conjunction with the hydraulic cylinder to clamp the anode guide rod via a clamping plate. The clamping plate's position can be adjusted in multiple angles and directions using the push rod's ball joint, adapting to different anode guide rod positions and accommodating variations in fit and angle during clamping. It allows for both vertical vertical loading and unloading operations and smooth loading and unloading within a certain angle range using the forklift's tilting cylinder, making it widely applicable. The hydraulic cylinder base... The hydraulic cylinders, each hinged by bolts, are connected to a top rod hinged to bolts. The bottom of the fixed rod is connected to a base hinged to the top rod, which further assists the clamping plate, allowing for multi-directional and multi-angle adjustments. By operating the hydraulic cylinders to extend and retract, the anode guide rod is clamped and opened, ensuring its stability during loading and transportation, and smooth and slow loading and unloading. The clamping and fixing of the anode guide rod is well-suited for different operating situations and conditions, effectively preventing the anode guide rod from falling and causing injury to personnel or equipment, thus fully guaranteeing the safety of operators and equipment and further reducing the accident rate.

[0008] The entire operation process allows the operator to operate independently from inside the cab using an electrically controlled hydraulic cylinder retraction method, greatly improving safety. While fully ensuring the safety of the operator, it also assists the operator in various operating modes such as forklift loading and unloading operations on the overhead conveyor system, cross-regional transfer operations, and lifting and unloading operations. This improves the efficiency of handling and increases the flexibility of operation, adapting to different working environments and needs.

[0009] The conductivity and service life of the anode guide rod are important indicators for measuring economic benefits. During transportation, using this clamping tool can help the forklift avoid unnecessary damage to the anode guide rod, thereby ensuring that its conductivity is not affected, improving operational efficiency and flexibility, and ensuring the quality and safety of the anode guide rod.

[0010] The number of the cylinder base, hydraulic cylinder, push rod, push rod ball head, and clamping plate is two, and they are symmetrically arranged along the center of the clamp base.

[0011] The number of top rod bases is two, which are symmetrically arranged along the center of the clamp base.

[0012] The bottom surface of the fixture base is fixedly mounted with a mounting plate, and the mounting plate is provided with fixing holes.

[0013] The mounting plate, equipped with fixing holes, allows for easy and quick installation of the fixture base, enabling fast and efficient clamping of the anode aluminum rod.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1) The clamping base is securely mounted on the forklift forks. Powered by a hydraulic cylinder, it uses a push rod in conjunction with the hydraulic cylinder to clamp the anode guide rod via a clamping plate. The clamping plate position can be adjusted in multiple angles and directions using the push rod ball joint to accommodate different anode guide rod positions, ensuring adaptability to varying degrees of contact and angles during clamping. It allows for both vertical vertical loading and unloading operations and smooth loading and unloading within a certain angle range using the forklift fork tilting cylinder, making it widely applicable. Simultaneously, the hydraulic cylinder... The base is hinged to hydraulic cylinders via bolts, and the hydraulic cylinders are hinged to push rods via bolts. The bottom end of the fixing rod is hinged to the push rod base via bolts, which can further assist the clamping plate and allow for multi-directional and multi-angle adjustment. By operating the hydraulic cylinders to extend and retract, the anode guide rod is clamped and opened, ensuring that the anode guide rod is stable and does not wobble during loading and transportation, and that loading and unloading are smooth and slow. The clamping and fixing of the anode guide rod is well-supported according to different operating occasions and conditions, effectively preventing the anode guide rod from falling and causing injury to personnel or equipment, fully ensuring the safety of operators and operating equipment, and further reducing the accident rate.

[0015] 2) The entire operation process allows the operator to operate independently from the cab using an electric-controlled hydraulic cylinder retraction method, which greatly improves safety. While fully ensuring the safety of the operator, it also assists the operator in various operation modes such as loading and unloading operations on the overhead chain system of the forklift, cross-regional transfer operations, and lifting and unloading operations. This improves the efficiency of handling and increases the flexibility of operation, adapting to different working environments and needs.

[0016] 3) The mounting plate is equipped with fixing holes. When fixing the clamp base, the mounting plate can be fixed to the forklift fork through the fixing holes. The installation is convenient and can be quickly installed during operation, saving time and effort. It is safe and stable, and can better perform the clamping operation of the anode aluminum rod.

[0017] 4) This clamp has a reasonable structural design, is easy to process, has low processing and manufacturing costs, and is convenient to operate. When the anode guide rod is loaded onto the overhead conveyor system by a forklift, or when it is used for cross-regional transfer operations, lifting and unloading operations, it is easy to install and disassemble. It can clamp the anode guide rod securely, with an adjustable clamping angle and a wide range of applications. It saves time and effort and ensures the safety of operators and equipment. By installing this tool on the forklift fork, the surface of the anode guide rod is protected from collisions, while the loading, cross-regional transfer operations, and loading and unloading operations during maintenance of the anode guide rod can be completed safely and efficiently. It eliminates the risks of unstable swaying of the guide rod during loading and unloading, the cylinder liner falling from a high position, excessive friction due to inaccurate driver positioning, and deformation and damage to the aluminum guide rod surface due to collisions.
