ELECTRODE POSITION AND FLOW DETECTION SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC F27D11/10 

FIELD: electrodes.

SUBSTANCE: invention is intended to determine the position and consumption of the electrode. The substance of the invention lies in the fact that the system for determining the position and consumption of the electrode contains a graphite electrode fixed in the electrode holder, suspended on a cable, connected through a guide roller to a drum, which in turn is connected to a gear motor, the input of which is connected to the output of a programmable logic controller , while between the guide roller and the drum, in the gap of the cable, a strain gauge is installed, the output of which is connected to the input of the normalizing transducer, the output of which is connected to the input of the programmable logic controller, the laser rangefinder is installed above the upper end of the electrode, the output of which is connected to the input of the programmable logic controller.

EFFECT: providing the possibility of obtaining operational information about the mass of the electrode and the exact position of the end of the electrode in the furnace.
