Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of aluminum electrolysis process equipment, specifically an aluminum electrolysis cell feeding blockage detection device. Background Technology
[0002] An aluminum electrolytic cell is a device used for the electrolytic production of aluminum. After the raw materials are prepared, a smelting process is required. Pre-mixed raw materials are added to the aluminum electrolytic cell, which is then heated to a certain temperature to ensure complete melting and mixing of the raw materials. During electrolysis, the molten aluminum in the cell is heated and subjected to direct current, causing aluminum ions to be released and reduced to pure aluminum at the cathode surface.
[0003] Existing methods for detecting material blockage in aluminum electrolysis cells largely rely on manual inspection, involving periodic patrols of the electrolysis site or checking data curves from the control system to identify abnormalities in the feeding process. This method not only fails to detect blockages in a timely manner, but also requires frequent opening of the cell cover, causing voltage increases and power consumption. Furthermore, when dealing with blockages, a large amount of material enters the electrolysis cell in a short period, leading to insufficient material consumption and sediment buildup at the feeding inlet. Additionally, perforations in the electrolysis cell often contain electrolytes that adhere to the surface, making detection and cleaning difficult.
[0004] Traditional equipment only performs cleaning after the entire aluminum electrolysis process is completed, without addressing the corresponding structures for cleaning and mechanical processing, which is still detrimental to the working efficiency of aluminum products. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aluminum electrolytic cell material discharge blockage detection device to address the problem that traditional equipment only detects materials but lacks corresponding structures for cleaning and mechanical processing, which is still detrimental to the working efficiency of aluminum products.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: A detection device for material blockage in an aluminum electrolytic cell includes a working shell, an inlet shell welded to the upper surface of the working shell, an outlet shell provided on the lower surface of the working shell, a screen movably connected to the inner surface of the working shell, a collecting plate welded to one outer surface of the screen, a collecting box movably connected to the lower surface of the inner surface of the working shell corresponding to the collecting plate, a high-frequency vibrator fixedly connected to the lower surface of the outlet shell, and a protective shell fixedly connected to the lower surface of the outlet shell corresponding to the high-frequency vibrator.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the feed shell ensures the entry of materials, the working shell is the main space for detecting blockages, and the discharge shell ensures the exit of materials. The screen facilitates particle screening of materials, thus facilitating the exit of granular and powdery materials. A high-frequency vibrator below the screen performs high-frequency vibration, which shakes the surface of materials that are stuck during discharge, reducing the occurrence of blockages and improving discharge efficiency. At the same time, the side collection plate collects large particles of impurities and materials. By pulling the baffle, the impurities fall into the collection box, facilitating better material separation, improving accuracy, reducing energy consumption, and improving the quality of finished products. It also provides mechanical treatment after material blockage, improving efficiency and ensuring the continuity of material entry. In addition, this invention provides impurity collection and disassembly functions, which facilitate better function adjustment and equipment cleaning while completing the material blockage detection.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a magnetic generator is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the lower end of the working shell, and a support strip is welded to the inner surface of the working shell corresponding to the area below the screen.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator is cut after the material falls, thereby completing the detection of material blockage. It is suitable for material feeding detection of granular and powdery materials. The support bar ensures the support of the screen in the working shell.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a reciprocating motor body is fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the feed housing, a movable rod is movably connected to the inner surface of the reciprocating motor body, and a guide plate is movably connected to the inner surface of the movable rod.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the reciprocating motor body has a built-in telescopic motor, and the output end is fixed to the protruding end of the guide plate. The guide plate can move back and forth in the middle of the movable rod. The two ends of the movable rod can rotate along the horizontal line on the inner surface of the feed shell. The forward extension of the reciprocating motor body causes the guide plate to tilt up at the inner end of the feed shell, and at the same time, the guide plate moves outward. The reciprocating motion facilitates material feeding.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, deformation resistor blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner surface of the feed housing, and a flow guide plate is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the deformation resistor blocks.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide plate introduces the material into the guide plate. The deformation resistor block completes the deformation through the gravity of the guide plate. The deformation resistor block is connected to the circuit to judge the unstable current generated by the deformation. If a blockage occurs, the current stabilizes and the circuit generates an alarm. It is suitable for detecting material blockage under the action of large gravity.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a support block is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the guide plate, and a rubber strip is fixedly connected to the support block corresponding to the inner surface of the screen.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the support block can easily support the screen and ensure the stability of the screen. The rubber strip reduces the vibration of the high-frequency vibrator on the equipment by buffering, thus ensuring the stability of the equipment.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, a control body is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the feed housing, and a wireless transceiver is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the feed housing next to the control body.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the control unit summarizes the circuits of each monitoring device in the equipment, which facilitates the user's next operation. The wireless transceiver facilitates the control of the equipment through wireless transmission and reception, allowing the user to control it remotely.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, a manual adjustment plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the feed housing next to the control body, and a control button is provided on the outer surface of the manual adjustment plate.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the manual adjustment board allows equipment maintainers to control and adjust the equipment via control buttons.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment, a buzzer is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the feed housing, and a warning light is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the buzzer.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the buzzer's built-in circuit will sound an alarm and illuminate the warning light to sound the alarm after the set conditions are triggered.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment, a baffle is welded to the inner surface of the collection box, and a handle is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the collection box.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the handle makes it easy to pull out the collection box, and the baffle makes it easy to seal the leakage hole in the middle of the collection plate when the equipment is inserted into the feeding shell, so as to prevent materials and impurities from falling out and blocking the inside of the collection box too early.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment, a rotating shaft is provided on the inner surface of the discharge shell, a main discharge plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and a guide discharge plate is movably connected to the inner surface of the main discharge plate.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide plate moves left and right after lifting the inner surface of the discharge shell. The rotating shaft can drive the rotation of the main plate. The main plate and the guide plate can extend and retract. After the size adjustment is completed, the fixing rod at the front end of the guide plate is locked in the corresponding groove in the discharge shell, thus completing the adjustment of the discharge size.
[0026] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0027] In this invention, the feed shell ensures the entry of materials, the working shell is the main space for detecting blockages, and the discharge shell ensures the exit of materials. A screen facilitates particle screening, allowing for the easy removal of granular and powdery materials. A high-frequency vibrator below the screen vibrates the surface of materials prone to blockages, reducing the likelihood of blockages and improving discharge efficiency. Simultaneously, a side collection plate collects large impurities and materials. Pulling the baffle out with a handle allows impurities to fall into the collection box, facilitating better material separation. This invention improves accuracy, reduces energy consumption, and enhances finished product quality. It also provides mechanical processing to address blockages, increasing efficiency and ensuring continuous material intake. Furthermore, this invention provides impurity collection and disassembly functions, enabling easier adjustment of functions and cleaning of the equipment while detecting blockages.
