[0002] In the field of electrolytic aluminum carbon anode storage, in order to realize the handling, stacking, waste selection, material replenishment, warehouse guidance and loading of individual carbon anode workpieces, electric hoist travel wheels are usually used to move on the warehouse transverse track. The warehouse transverse track uses the end beam devices at both ends to move longitudinally along the factory track; the electric hoist drum rotates and the wire rope is retracted and released to drive the workpiece up and down; thereby achieving the clamping, lifting, handling and stacking of individual carbon anodes.

[0003] In the process of clamping workpieces and moving them quickly, poor positioning accuracy is inevitable, so a large number of micro-adjustments are required to compensate for the deviations caused by positioning errors in each moving track, so that stacking can be carried out, which seriously affects production efficiency and makes it impossible to realize the intelligent storage of carbon anodes. For this reason, it is necessary to design a visually assisted electromechanical system for a single carbon anode transfer station. Summary of the invention
