Description

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202411028245.5, filed on July 30, 2024, entitled “Measuring mechanism, measuring system, control method and device for measuring system”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of electrolytic cell parameter measurement, for example, to a measuring mechanism, a measuring system, and a control method and device for the measuring system. Background Art

[0003] In the aluminum electrolysis industry, the control and monitoring of the temperature inside the electrolytic cell plays a vital role in the stability of the electrolysis process, improving the purity of aluminum and production efficiency.

[0004] In the related art, a tank temperature detection mechanism is usually inserted into the electrolytic tank through a furnace hole on the electrolytic tank to measure the temperature inside the tank.

[0005] In the process of implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is found that the related technology has at least the following problems:

[0006] Each time the tank temperature detection mechanism is used to measure the tank temperature in the electrolytic tank, a layer of adhesion formed by electrolyte, aluminum liquid and other impurities will adhere to the surface of the tank temperature detection mechanism. As the number of times the tank temperature is measured increases, the adhesion attached to the surface of the tank temperature detection mechanism will become thicker and thicker. Thicker adhesions will affect the heat exchange efficiency between the tank temperature detection mechanism and the medium in the tank, and may cause distortion of the measurement signal of the tank temperature detection mechanism. Therefore, after multiple uses, the accuracy of the tank temperature detection mechanism in detecting the tank temperature will decrease. Summary of the invention

[0050] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other.

[0051] The measuring mechanism 100 for an electrolytic cell provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows: Figure 1As shown, the measuring mechanism 100 for the electrolytic cell (hereinafter referred to as the measuring mechanism 100 for ease of description) includes: a measuring arm 110, a guiding mechanism 120, a tank temperature detection mechanism 130 and a first shelling mechanism 140. The measuring arm 110 is provided with a slide rail 111. The guiding mechanism 120 is provided on the slide rail 111 and can slide relative to the slide rail 111. The tank temperature detection mechanism 130 is provided on the guiding mechanism 120 and can slide relative to the guiding mechanism 120. The first shelling mechanism 140 is provided at the end of the measuring arm 110, located at the bottom of the guiding mechanism 120, and is used to remove adhesions in the guiding mechanism 120.

[0052] Specifically, by setting up the guide mechanism 120 and setting the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 on the guide mechanism 120, the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 can be supported, and sufficient bending strength can be provided for the tank temperature detection mechanism 130, thereby reducing the risk of bending of the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 during the temperature measurement process in the tank, and improving the success rate of aligning the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 with the furnace hole.

[0053] Specifically, by slidably setting the guide mechanism 120 on the slide rail 111 of the measuring arm 110, and slidably setting the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 on the guide mechanism 120, it is convenient to realize the automatic control of the temperature measurement in the tank. After the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 measures the temperature in the tank, the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 can be controlled in the length direction ( Figure 1 The guide mechanism 120 is reciprocated by the guide mechanism 120 in the direction shown in FIG. 1 (a), and the adhesions adhered to the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 are scraped into the guide mechanism 120. In this way, it is possible to avoid the formation of thick adhesions on the surface of the tank temperature detection mechanism 130.

[0054] Specifically, by setting a first shelling mechanism 140 at the end of the measuring arm 110 and the bottom of the guide mechanism 120, after the adhesions adhered to the slot temperature detection mechanism 130 are scratched onto the guide mechanism 120, the first shelling mechanism 140 can be controlled to impact the guide mechanism 120 to remove the adhesions from the guide mechanism 120.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a slide rail 111 is provided on the measuring arm 110 of the measuring mechanism 100, a guide mechanism 120 capable of sliding relative to the slide rail 111 is provided on the slide rail 111, a tank temperature detection mechanism 130 capable of sliding relative to the guide mechanism 120 is provided on the guide mechanism 120, and a first shelling mechanism 140 capable of impacting the guide mechanism 120 is provided at the end of the measuring arm 110 and the bottom of the guide mechanism 120. In this way, after the temperature in the tank is measured by the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 each time, the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 can be controlled to reciprocate in the length direction of the guide mechanism 120 to scrape the adhesions on the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 into the guide mechanism 120, and the adhesions scraped into the guide mechanism 120 can be removed by controlling the first shelling mechanism 140 to impact the guide mechanism 120. The formation of thick adhesion on the surface of the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 is avoided, and the risk of the accuracy of the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 in detecting the temperature in the tank being reduced after multiple uses is reduced.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the guide mechanism 120 includes: a guide groove 121 and a first driving member 122. The guide groove 121 is disposed on the slide rail 111. The first driving member 122 is connected to the guide groove 121 and is used to drive the guide groove 121 to slide relative to the slide rail 111.

[0057] Specifically, the guide groove 121 is a groove-shaped structure including two planes, and the two planes form a certain angle, wherein the angle is less than 180 degrees.

[0058] Specifically, by providing the first driving member 122 connected to the guide groove 121 , the sliding control of the guide groove 121 on the slide rail 111 can be achieved.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing a first driving member 122 connected to the guide groove 121, the guide groove 121 can be controlled to slide relative to the slide rail 111. In this way, by controlling the guide groove 121 to slide relative to the slide rail 111, the temperature probe of the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 provided thereon can be allowed to pass through the furnace hole into the electrolytic tank to measure the temperature in the tank, thereby realizing automatic control of the temperature measurement in the tank.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 includes: a thermocouple 131 and a second driving member 132. The thermocouple 131 is disposed in the guide groove 121; the second driving member 132 is connected to the thermocouple 131 and is used to drive the thermocouple 131 relative to the length direction of the guide groove 121 ( Figure 1 Slide in the direction indicated by A.

[0061] Specifically, since the temperature in the electrolytic cell is usually high and the environment is relatively harsh, the embodiment of the present disclosure uses a thermocouple 131 with a wide measurement range, high measurement accuracy and stability, and capable of adapting to high temperature and harsh environments as the temperature sensor in the cell temperature detection mechanism 130. The type of the thermocouple 131 is an armored thermocouple 131.

[0062] Specifically, by providing the second driving member 132 connected to the thermocouple 131 , the sliding control of the thermocouple 131 on the guide groove 121 can be achieved.

[0063] Optionally, the length of the thermocouple 131 is 1 m to 1.2 m, and the diameter of the thermocouple 131 is 2 mm to 4 mm.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing a second driving member 132 connected to the thermocouple 131, the thermocouple 131 can be controlled to slide relative to the length direction of the guide groove 121. In this way, the thermocouple 131 can be controlled to pass through the furnace hole into the electrolytic cell to measure the temperature in the cell, thereby realizing automatic control of the temperature measurement in the cell.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 further includes: a third driving member 133. The third driving member 133 is connected to the thermocouple 131 and is used to drive the thermocouple 131 to move relative to the width direction of the guide groove 121 ( Figure 1 The device swings in the direction shown in B.

[0066] Specifically, by providing a third driving member 133 connected to the thermocouple 131, it is possible to control the swinging of the thermocouple 131 on the guide groove 121. In this way, after the probe end of the thermocouple 131 enters the electrolytic cell through the furnace hole and is immersed in the electrolyte, the third driving member 133 can be controlled to drive the thermocouple 131 to swing relative to the width direction of the guide groove 121, simulating the operation of arm swinging during manual sampling, so that the probe end of the thermocouple immersed in the electrolyte can quickly and accurately detect the temperature in the cell, thereby improving the efficiency of detecting the temperature in the cell.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first shelling mechanism 140 includes: a removal bracket 141, an impact part 142 and a fourth driving member 143. The removal bracket 141 is arranged at the end of the measuring arm 110. The impact part 142 is arranged at the removal bracket 141, and the impact part 142 can move relative to the removal bracket 141. The fourth driving member 143 is connected to the impact part 142, and is used to drive the impact part 142 to move relative to the removal bracket 141, so that the impact part 142 contacts the guide mechanism 120 to remove the adhesion in the guide mechanism 120.

[0068] Specifically, by arranging the removal bracket 141 at the end of the measuring arm 110, rotatably arranging the impact part 142 on the removal bracket 141, and connecting the output end of the fourth driving member 143 to the impact part 142, it is possible to drive the impact part 142 to rotate or move relative to the removal bracket 141 by the fourth driving member 143, and the impact part 142 can contact the guide mechanism 120 when rotating or moving. The direction in which the impact part 142 impacts the guide mechanism 120 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in D.

[0069] Specifically, each time the temperature in the tank is measured by the tank temperature detection mechanism 130, and the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 is controlled to reciprocate in the length direction of the guide mechanism 120, after the adhesion on the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 is scraped into the guide mechanism 120, the fourth driving member 143 can be controlled to drive the impact part 142 to rotate relative to the removal bracket 141. The impact part 142 is brought into contact with the guide mechanism 120 to remove the adhesion in the guide mechanism 120.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting a first shelling mechanism 140 at the end of the measuring arm 110 and the bottom of the guide mechanism 120, after the adhesions adhered to the slot temperature detection mechanism 130 are scratched onto the guide mechanism 120, the fourth driving member 143 can be controlled to drive the impact part 142 to rotate or move relative to the removal bracket 141, so that the impact part 142 contacts the guide mechanism 120 to remove the adhesions in the guide mechanism 120.

[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the measuring mechanism 100 further includes a cooling mechanism 150. The cooling mechanism 150 is disposed on the measuring arm 110, and after measuring the temperature in the tank, the cooling mechanism 150 is used to cool the guiding mechanism 120 and the tank temperature detection mechanism 130.

[0072] Specifically, during the electrolytic cell parameter measurement process, the measuring mechanism 100 is usually required to continuously measure the in-cell temperatures of multiple electrolytic cells. However, after the in-cell temperature detection mechanism 130 measures the in-cell temperature of an electrolytic cell, it is usually necessary to remove the adhesion thereon and cool it to the set temperature before the in-cell temperature of the next electrolytic cell can be measured. However, it takes a long time to cool naturally. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a cooling mechanism 150 on the measuring mechanism 100.

[0073] Specifically, after the adhesion on the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 is removed, the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 and the guide mechanism 120 can be cooled by the cooling mechanism 150. The tank temperature detection mechanism 130 and the guide mechanism 120 can be quickly cooled to the set temperature, that is, the conditions for measuring the temperature in the next electrolytic cell can be quickly met. In this way, when the temperatures in multiple electrolytic cells need to be continuously measured, the efficiency of the temperature measurement in the cells can be improved.

[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the measuring mechanism 100 further includes: a two-level detection mechanism 160. The two-level detection mechanism 160 is disposed on the measuring arm 110 and is used to measure two-level parameters of the electrolytic cell.

[0075] Specifically, the two-level parameter includes an aluminum level and an electrolyte level.

[0076] Specifically, by arranging two horizontal detection mechanisms 160 on the measuring arm 110, the measuring mechanism 100 has the function of measuring the temperature in the electrolytic cell and the two horizontal parameters at the same time. In this way, only one set of measuring mechanisms 100 is needed to complete the measurement of the relevant parameters of the electrolytic cell, which simplifies the manual measurement tasks and improves the measurement efficiency of the relevant parameters of the electrolytic cell.

[0077] Optionally, the two-level detection mechanism 160 includes: a measuring rod 161, a fifth driving member 162 and an identification camera 163. The measuring rod 161 is arranged on the measuring arm 110 and can slide relative to the measuring arm 110. The fifth driving member 162 is connected to the measuring rod 161 and is used to drive the measuring rod 161 to slide relative to the measuring arm 110. The identification camera 163 is arranged on the measuring arm 110, located at an initial position corresponding to the sampling section of the measuring rod 161, and is used to identify the two-level parameters of the sampling section of the measuring rod 161.

[0078] Specifically, the steps of detecting the two-level parameters of the electrolytic cell by the two-level detection mechanism 160 are as follows: driving the measuring rod 161 through the furnace hole into the electrolytic cell for sampling by the fifth driving member 162; after the sampling is completed, driving the measuring rod 161 back to the initial position by the fifth driving member 162; performing image recognition on the sampling section of the measuring rod 161 by the recognition camera 163 to determine the two-level parameters of the electrolytic cell.

[0079] Optionally, the two-level detection mechanism 160 further includes: a second shelling mechanism 164. The second shelling mechanism 164 is disposed at the end of the measuring arm 110 and is used to remove adhesions from the sampling section of the measuring rod 161.

[0080] Specifically, after the two-level parameters of the sampling section of the measuring rod 161 are identified by the identification camera 163, the adhesion of the sampling section of the measuring rod 161 can be removed by the second shelling mechanism 164. In this way, the adhesion on the measuring rod 161 is automatically removed, and the measurement efficiency of the two-level parameters by the measuring mechanism 100 is improved.

[0081] Optionally, the two-level detection mechanism 160 further includes a cooling fan 165. The cooling fan 165 is disposed on the measuring arm 110 and is used to cool down the sampling section of the measuring rod 161.

[0082] It is understandable that the two-level parameters of the next electrolytic cell can be measured only after the sampling section of the measuring rod 161 is cooled to room temperature. Therefore, a cooling fan 165 is also provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure. After the adhesion on the measuring rod 161 is removed, the sampling section of the measuring rod 161 can be cooled by the cooling fan 165. The measuring rod 161 can be quickly cooled to room temperature, that is, the conditions for measuring the two-level parameters of the next electrolytic cell can be quickly met. In this way, for the situation where the two-level parameters of multiple electrolytic cells need to be measured continuously, the efficiency of the two-level parameter measurement can be improved.

[0083] It should be noted that the first driving member 122 , the second driving member 132 , the third driving member 133 , the fourth driving member 143 and the fifth driving member 162 may be driving motors or driving cylinders.

[0084] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a measurement system 10 for an electrolytic cell includes: a moving mechanism 200, a measurement bracket 300, one or more measurement mechanisms 100 as described above, and a control device. The moving mechanism 200 can move relative to the electrolytic cell. The measurement bracket 300 is arranged on the moving mechanism 200, and the measurement bracket 300 can move relative to the moving mechanism 200. The measurement mechanism 100 is rotatably connected to the measurement bracket 300 via a rotating shaft. The control device is electrically connected to the moving mechanism 200, the measurement bracket 300, and the measurement mechanism 100, and is used to control the movement of the moving mechanism 200, the measurement bracket 300, and the measurement mechanism 100 to measure the temperature in the electrolytic cell.

[0085] Specifically, the mobile mechanism 200 is a mechanism that can sense the surrounding environment through sensors and realize autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance (for example, AGV, Automatic Guided Vehicle). Autonomous navigation is realized by laser sensors, infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, etc., and planning and control are performed according to the preset path and target position during navigation. Obstacle avoidance is realized by laser radar, infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, etc.

[0086] Specifically, each electrolytic cell in the production workshop is pre-set with a marker. When it is necessary to measure the electrolytic parameters of a certain electrolytic cell, the mobile mechanism 200 can automatically move to the target position for measuring the temperature in the cell corresponding to the electrolytic cell based on the marker on the electrolytic cell through SLAM (Simultaneous localization and mapping) technology. Among them, the marker of the electrolytic cell is a reference object with a relatively fixed position with the furnace hole of the electrolytic cell, such as a furnace door, a shelling cylinder, etc.

[0087] Specifically, after controlling the moving mechanism 200 to reach the target position for measuring the temperature in the tank, the control device can align the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 on the measuring mechanism 100 with the furnace hole by controlling the measuring bracket 300 to move relative to the moving mechanism 200 and the measuring mechanism 100 to rotate relative to the measuring bracket 300. The temperature in the tank can be measured by controlling the guide mechanism 120, the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 and the first shelling mechanism 140 on the measuring mechanism 100 to operate.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing a moving mechanism 200, a measuring bracket 300 movable on the moving mechanism 200, a measuring mechanism 100 rotatably provided on the measuring bracket 300, and a control device electrically connected to the moving mechanism 200, the measuring bracket 300 and the measuring mechanism 100, the measuring system 10 can automatically move to the target electrolytic cell to be subjected to in-cell temperature detection, and can automatically detect the in-cell temperature of the target electrolytic cell, thereby realizing the automated measurement of in-cell temperature measurement and improving the intelligence of the measuring system 10.

[0089] Combination Figures 1 to 3 The measuring mechanism shown, and Figure 4 The measurement system shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for the measurement system, such as Figure 5 As shown, the control method includes:

[0090] S501, the control device controls the measuring mechanism to collect the temperature inside the target electrolytic cell.

[0091] Specifically, the control device can control the moving mechanism to move to the target position of the target electrolytic cell for measuring the temperature inside the cell, and can control the measuring bracket to move relative to the moving mechanism, and the measuring mechanism to rotate relative to the measuring bracket, so that the cell temperature detection mechanism on the measuring mechanism is aligned with the furnace hole. The guide mechanism and the cell temperature detection mechanism on the measuring mechanism can be controlled to slide, and the probe end of the cell temperature detection mechanism can be passed through the furnace hole into the electrolytic cell and immersed below the liquid surface of the electrolyte. Therefore, the control device can control the measuring mechanism to collect the cell temperature inside the target electrolytic cell.

[0092] S502, after the control device completes collecting the temperature in the groove, it controls the guide groove to return to the initial position, and during the returning process, controls the thermocouple to reciprocate in the length direction of the guide groove, so as to scrape the adhesions on the thermocouple into the guide groove.

[0093] Specifically, after detecting the temperature in the target electrolytic cell, the measurement system also needs to detect the temperature in the next electrolytic cell. Since there is a certain distance between the two electrolytic cells, if the guide slot is not returned to the initial position, the measurement system may collide with other objects when moving to the next electrolytic cell. Therefore, after collecting the temperature in the cell, the guide slot needs to be controlled to return to the initial position.

[0094] Specifically, in the process of controlling the guide groove to return to the initial position, the adhesion (electrolyte, carbon slag and other impurities, etc.) adhered to the surface of the thermocouple is still in a high-temperature softened state. At this time, by controlling the thermocouple to reciprocate in the length direction of the guide groove, the thermocouple and the guide groove can be relatively slipped, and the adhesion adhered to the thermocouple can be scraped into the guide groove. Therefore, in the process of controlling the guide groove to return to the initial position, it is also necessary to control the thermocouple to reciprocate in the length direction of the guide groove.

[0095] S503, the control device controls the first shelling mechanism to impact the guide groove to remove the adhesion in the guide groove.

[0096] Specifically, if the adhesions that are scratched in the guide groove are not removed in time, it will affect the sliding of the thermocouple in the guide groove during the next temperature measurement in the groove. Therefore, the control device also needs to control the first shelling mechanism to impact the guide groove to shake off the adhesions in the guide groove by mechanical impact.

[0097] In the disclosed embodiment, after the tank temperature detection mechanism measures the temperature in the tank, the tank temperature detection mechanism can be controlled to reciprocate in the length direction relative to the guide mechanism to scrape the adhesions on the tank temperature detection mechanism into the guide mechanism, and the first shelling mechanism can be controlled to impact the guide mechanism to remove the adhesions scraped into the guide mechanism. In this way, the formation of thick adhesions on the surface of the tank temperature detection mechanism is avoided, and the risk of the tank temperature detection mechanism having a low accuracy in detecting the temperature in the tank after multiple uses is reduced.

[0098] The present disclosure provides another control method for a measurement system. Figure 6 As shown, the control method includes:

[0099] S601, in response to a measurement request, the control device controls the moving mechanism, the measuring bracket and the measuring mechanism to align the probe end of the thermocouple with the furnace hole position of the target electrolytic cell.

[0100] Specifically, the measurement system for the electrolytic cell can be connected to the terminal device for communication, and the manager of the electrolytic cell can send a measurement request to the measurement system through the terminal device. The measurement request includes information about the target electrolytic cell for which electrolysis parameters are to be measured. After receiving the test request, the control device can determine the target position corresponding to the target electrolytic cell by parsing the measurement request, and can control the mobile mechanism to move to the target position by autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance. The measurement bracket can be controlled to move relative to the mobile mechanism, and the measurement mechanism can be rotated relative to the measurement bracket so that the thermocouple of the tank temperature detection mechanism is aligned with the furnace hole.

[0101] Optionally, controlling the moving mechanism, the measuring bracket and the measuring mechanism to align the probe end of the thermocouple with the furnace hole position of the target electrolytic cell includes: controlling the moving mechanism to move to a target position corresponding to the target electrolytic cell; using a maximum inscribed circle algorithm to determine the target furnace hole position of the target electrolytic cell; and controlling the measuring bracket and the measuring mechanism to move according to the target furnace hole position so that the probe end of the thermocouple is aligned with the furnace hole position.

[0102] Specifically, a hole position recognition camera is arranged on the measuring arm, and the control device can recognize the target furnace hole position through the recognition camera.

[0103] Specifically, the maximum inscribed circle algorithm can be used to analyze the high-brightness connected area of ​​the furnace hole, obtain the maximum inscribed circle diameter and its average brightness, and by judging whether the diameter and brightness meet the alignment accuracy and success rate conditions of thermocouple sampling, the target furnace hole position suitable for thermocouple insertion can be accurately determined.

[0104] S602, the control device controls the thermocouple to slide along the length direction of the guide groove, so that the probe end of the thermocouple protrudes from the guide groove by a set length, and then controls the guide groove to slide relative to the slide rail so that the probe end of the thermocouple is immersed below the liquid surface of the electrolyte.

[0105] Specifically, by controlling the thermocouple to slide along the length direction of the guide groove, the probe end of the thermocouple protrudes from the guide groove by a set length. In the process of measuring the temperature in the groove, it can be ensured that the probe end of the thermocouple contacts the electrolyte before the guide groove, and can provide sufficient support force for the thermocouple to prevent the thermocouple from bending.

[0106] Specifically, the diameter of the thermocouple is different, and the set length of the protruding guide groove is also different. Taking a thermocouple with a diameter of 3 mm as an example, the set length is 10 cm to 30 cm.

[0107] S603, the control device controls the thermocouple to swing relative to the width direction of the guide groove for a set time period to complete the collection of the temperature inside the target electrolytic cell.

[0108] Specifically, after the probe end of the thermocouple is immersed below the liquid surface of the electrolyte, by controlling the swing time of the thermocouple relative to the width direction of the guide groove, the operation of arm swinging during manual sampling can be simulated, and the purpose of quickly dispersing the crust on the surface of the thermocouple can be achieved. The temperature of the thermocouple can be quickly increased from room temperature to the electrolyte temperature of 950°C to 1000°C within 10s to 15s. In this way, the probe end of the thermocouple immersed in the electrolyte can quickly and accurately detect the temperature in the tank, improving the efficiency of detecting the temperature in the tank.

[0109] Optionally, the duration is set to 10s to 20s.

[0110] It should be noted that when controlling the swing of the thermocouple, it is necessary to ensure that the amplitude of the probe end of the thermocouple is less than 5 cm and the vibration frequency is within the range of 5 Hz to 50 Hz.

[0111] S604, after the control device completes collecting the temperature in the groove, it controls the guide groove to return to the initial position, and during the returning process, controls the thermocouple to reciprocate in the length direction of the guide groove, so as to scrape the adhesions on the thermocouple into the guide groove.

[0112] S605, the control device controls the first shelling mechanism to impact the guide groove to remove the adhesion in the guide groove.

[0113] In the disclosed embodiment, when the measuring mechanism is controlled to collect the temperature in the electrolytic cell, after the probe end of the thermocouple is immersed below the liquid surface of the electrolyte, the thermocouple is controlled to swing for a set time relative to the width direction of the guide groove. In this way, the efficiency of detecting the temperature in the cell is improved.

[0114] In some embodiments, the guide groove is controlled to slide relative to the slide rail so that the probe end of the thermocouple is immersed below the liquid surface of the electrolyte, including: each time the guide groove is controlled to slide a first set distance relative to the slide rail, a temperature value detected by the thermocouple is obtained; when the difference between the currently detected temperature value and the previously detected temperature value is greater than a set threshold, the guide groove is controlled to slide a second set distance relative to the slide rail.

[0115] Specifically, it is understandable that if the probe end of the thermocouple contacts the electrolyte, the temperature value detected by the thermocouple will rise rapidly. Therefore, in the disclosed embodiment, each time the guide groove is controlled to slide a first set distance relative to the slide rail, a temperature value detected by the thermocouple is obtained, and compared with the temperature value detected last time to determine the rise in the temperature detected by the thermocouple.

[0116] Specifically, if the difference between the currently detected temperature value and the previously detected temperature value is greater than the set threshold, it indicates that the temperature value detected by the thermocouple is rapidly increasing. In this case, it can be determined that the probe end of the thermocouple has contacted the electrolyte. Therefore, in this case, the guide groove is controlled to continue to slide relative to the slide rail for a second set distance to ensure that the probe end of the thermocouple is immersed below the liquid level of the electrolyte.

[0117] Optionally, the first set distance may be a length by which the guide groove can slide relative to the slide rail within a unit time length.

[0118] Optionally, the second set distance is 5 cm to 10 cm.

[0119] Optionally, the threshold is set to 50°C to 100°C.

[0120] In the disclosed embodiment, after determining that the probe end of the thermocouple has contacted the electrolyte, the guide groove is controlled to continue to slide relative to the slide rail for a second set distance, thereby ensuring that the probe end of the thermocouple is completely immersed below the liquid surface of the electrolyte. In this way, the accuracy of the temperature measurement in the tank is improved.

[0121] In some embodiments, the measuring mechanism also includes a cooling mechanism; after controlling the first shelling mechanism to impact the guide groove to remove the adhesion in the guide groove, the control method also includes: controlling the cooling mechanism to operate and cool the guide groove and the thermocouple.

[0122] Specifically, after removing the adhesion on the tank temperature detection mechanism, the tank temperature detection mechanism and the guide mechanism are cooled by controlling the cooling mechanism, so that the tank temperature detection mechanism and the guide mechanism can be quickly cooled to the set temperature, that is, the conditions for detecting the temperature in the next electrolytic cell can be quickly met. In this way, for the case of continuously detecting the temperatures in multiple electrolytic cells, the efficiency of the temperature detection in the cells can be improved.
