Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, and specifically to a hot electrode conveying line. Background Technology

[0002] In the electrolysis industry, hot electrode conveyor lines are the core conveying equipment for high-temperature materials (such as steel claws produced by electrolytic cells), and their operational stability directly affects production efficiency and product quality. These types of conveyor lines need to operate continuously under high-temperature conditions for extended periods. Their transmission chain structure (including key transmission components such as chains, sprockets, and guide rails) is the core of power transmission and must maintain good lubrication to reduce frictional losses and prevent component jamming or premature wear.

[0003] In existing technologies, lubrication of the transmission chain in hot electrode conveyor lines mainly relies on manual, periodic application of grease. Specifically, operators need to periodically stop the machine and approach the high-temperature conveyor line, applying grease manually or using injection tools to the meshing and sliding contact surfaces of the transmission chain, based on production experience or equipment operating time. Because of the high-temperature operating area, frequent machine stops are required for manual grease application, increasing the operator's workload, interrupting the production process, and reducing overall production efficiency.

[0025] like Figure 1-6As shown, this utility model provides a hot electrode conveying line, including a frame 100, on which a conveying assembly is provided to convey along the X-axis direction. The conveying assembly includes a transmission chain structure, a carrying hopper 220 and a driving device 230.

[0026] There are two transmission chain structures, which are spaced apart along the Y-axis. Each transmission chain structure includes a driving sprocket 211, a driven sprocket 212, and a transmission chain 213.

[0027] The drive sprocket 211 is rotatably mounted at the first end of the frame 100, and the driven sprocket 212 is rotatably mounted at the second end of the frame 100. The transmission chain 213 is sleeved on the drive sprocket 211 and the driven sprocket 212 and can rotate as the drive sprocket 211 and the driven sprocket 212 rotate.

[0028] Multiple hoppers 220 are provided, and the multiple hoppers 220 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the circumference of the transmission chain 213. The two ends of the hoppers 220 are respectively connected to the transmission chains 213 of two transmission chain structures and can move with the movement of the transmission chain 213.

[0029] Preferably, in this embodiment, the two ends of the carrying hopper 220 are hinged to the transmission chains 213 of the two transmission chain structures. When the carrying hopper 220 moves to the discharge end of the conveying component, the carrying hopper 220 will rotate at a preset angle, so that the material residue in the carrying hopper 220 can fall down from the carrying hopper 220 more easily. Specifically, the bottom of both sides of the carrying hopper 220 is connected to a connecting shaft 430, and a connecting block 440 is fixedly connected to the chain link of the transmission chain 213. The connecting shaft 430 and the connecting block 440 are rotatably connected. Specifically, the connecting shaft 430 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 440 through a bearing.

[0030] Preferably, a connecting plate 450 is fixedly sleeved on the connecting shaft 430, and the connecting plate 450 is fixedly connected to the side walls on both sides of the carrying hopper 220. Specifically, the connecting plate 450 and the connecting shaft 430 can be fixedly connected by interference fit, welding or other methods, and the connecting plate 450 and the carrying hopper 220 can be fixedly connected by welding, bolt connection or other methods.

[0031] The drive unit 230 is used to drive the drive sprocket 211 to rotate. Specifically, in this embodiment, the drive unit 230 is a geared motor, and the power output shaft of the geared motor is connected to the power input shaft of the drive sprocket 211.

[0032] There are two lubrication components, each corresponding to one of the two transmission chain structures. The lubrication components are located above the transmission chain structures and are used to provide grease to the transmission chain structures.

[0033] Working principle: During operation, high-temperature materials are placed on the carrying hopper 220, and the driving device 230 drives the drive sprocket 211 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission chain 213 to drive the carrying hopper 220 to rotate, thus achieving the purpose of conveying materials.

[0034] After a preset delivery time, that is, at preset intervals, the lubrication component provides grease to the transmission chain structure, thereby lubricating the transmission chain structure.

[0035] In this embodiment, by setting up a lubrication component, grease can be added to the transmission chain structure periodically, thereby achieving regular lubrication of the transmission chain structure without the need for frequent manual grease addition. Therefore, there is no need to stop the machine frequently to add grease, which improves work efficiency.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first side of the carrying hopper 220 has a limiting groove 221, and the second side has a limiting protrusion 222 that matches the limiting groove 221. When the carrying hopper 220 is in the horizontal section of the transmission chain 213, the limiting grooves 221 and limiting protrusions 222 of two adjacent carrying hoppers 220 fit together, thereby preventing the carrying hopper 220 from rotating, and thus improving the stability and reliability of the carrying hopper 220.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a support rail 410 is fixedly installed on the frame 100. The support rail 410 is used to support the carrying hopper 220 so that the hopper is more stable during the conveying process.

[0038] Preferably, multiple support rails 410 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the width direction of the frame 100 to improve the stability and reliability of the support for the load-bearing hopper 220, while also dispersing pressure and reducing wear.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a support wheel 420 that cooperates with the support guide rail 410 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of any of the carrying hoppers 220. During operation, as the carrying hopper 220 moves, the support wheel 420 rolls on the guide rail under the action of the support guide rail 410 and the support wheel 420. This not only supports the hopper, but also reduces wear and friction through the cooperation of the support guide rail 410 and the support wheel 420.

[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the lubrication assembly includes a cylinder 310, a piston, and an electric push rod 320.

[0041] The feed cylinder 310 is fixedly connected to the frame 100 and is used to store lubricating grease. In this embodiment, the feed cylinder 310 is fixedly mounted on the frame 100 via a mounting bracket 360. A discharge port is provided on the side of the feed cylinder 310 facing the drive chain 213. A piston is slidably disposed within the feed cylinder 310. An electric push rod 320 is fixedly connected to the frame 100. Specifically, the electric push rod 320 is fixedly mounted on the frame 100 via a mounting bracket 360. The power output shaft of the electric push rod 320 extends into the feed cylinder 310 and is fixedly connected to the piston.

[0042] During operation, after the transmission chain structure has been running for a preset time, the electric push rod 320 pushes the piston to move. Under the action of the piston, the grease in the material cylinder 310 is pushed out from the outlet to lubricate the transmission chain structure. The structure is simple.

[0043] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the material cylinder 310 includes a first cylinder body 311 and a second cylinder body 312.

[0044] The first cylinder 311 is fixedly connected to the frame 100. The second cylinder 312 is threadedly connected to the first cylinder 311. The discharge port is located on the second cylinder 312. When grease needs to be added, the electric push rod 320 drives the piston to move into the first cylinder 311, rotating the second cylinder 312, thereby removing the second cylinder 312 to facilitate the addition of grease into it.

[0045] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the lubrication assembly also includes a sealing plate 330 and a drive motor 340.

[0046] A sealing plate 330 is disposed at the discharge port and is rotatably connected to the frame 100. The sealing plate 330 is used to control the opening and closing of the discharge port. Specifically, the sealing plate 330 has an open position and a closed position. When the sealing plate 330 is in the open position, it is located on one side of the discharge port to open it. When the sealing plate 330 is in the closed position, it closes the discharge port.

[0047] The drive motor 340 is fixedly mounted on the frame 100, and the power output shaft of the drive motor 340 is connected to the sealing plate 330 via a transmission connection. In this embodiment, the sealing plate 330 is sleeved on the power output shaft of the drive motor 340 and is fixedly connected to the power output shaft of the drive motor 340.

[0048] In this embodiment, by setting a sealing plate 330, the discharge is closed when the transmission chain structure does not need to be lubricated, so as to prevent the grease in the barrel 310 from being contaminated. At the same time, during the process of the sealing plate 330 moving from the open position to the closed position, the grease can also be cut off, thereby preventing the grease in the barrel 310 from being pulled out.

[0049] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the lubrication assembly further includes a grease-pressing roller 350. The grease-pressing roller 350 is disposed on the side of the material cylinder 310 facing the discharge end of the conveying assembly. The grease-pressing roller 350 is rotatably connected to the frame 100, and the circumferential wall of the grease-pressing roller 350 abuts against the transmission chain 213. During operation, under the action of the grease-pressing roller 350, the lubricating grease on the transmission chain 213 is pressed into the links of the transmission chain 213, thereby improving the lubrication effect on the transmission chain 213.

[0050] Numerous specific details are set forth in this specification. However, it will be understood that embodiments of this invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known methods, structures, and techniques have not been shown in detail so as not to obscure the understanding of this specification.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
