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 cell through a furnace hole on the electrolytic cell to measure the temperature inside the cell.

[0005] During the implementation of the embodiments of the present disclosure, it was found that the related technologies have at least the following problems:

[0006] Each time the bath temperature detection mechanism measures the bath temperature inside the electrolytic cell, a layer of adhesion formed by electrolyte, molten aluminum, and other impurities forms on the surface of the mechanism. As the number of bath temperature measurements increases, the adhesion becomes thicker. Thicker adhesions affect the heat exchange efficiency between the mechanism and the medium inside the bath and may distort the measurement signal. Therefore, after repeated use, the accuracy of the bath temperature detection mechanism decreases. 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 can 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 an electrolytic cell (hereinafter referred to as the measuring mechanism 100 for ease of description) includes a measuring arm 110, a guide 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 guide 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 guide mechanism 120 and can slide relative to the guide mechanism 120. The first shelling mechanism 140 is provided at the end of the measuring arm 110, located at the bottom of the guide mechanism 120, and is used to remove adhesions within the guide mechanism 120.

[0052] Specifically, by setting up a 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 in the direction (indicated by A in the middle) to scrape the adhesions on the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 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 on the tank 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 disclosed embodiment, a slide rail 111 is provided on the measuring arm 110 of the measuring mechanism 100, a guide mechanism 120 is provided on the slide rail 111 and is capable of sliding relative to the slide rail 111, a tank temperature detection mechanism 130 is provided on the guide mechanism 120 and is capable of sliding relative to the guide mechanism 120, and a first shelling mechanism 140 is provided at the end of the measuring arm 110 and the bottom of the guide mechanism 120 and is capable of impacting the guide mechanism 120. In this way, after each measurement of the temperature in the tank is completed by the tank temperature detection mechanism 130, the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 can be controlled to reciprocate in the longitudinal direction of the guide mechanism 120 to scrape any adhesions adhered to the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 into the guide mechanism 120, and the first shelling mechanism 140 can be controlled to impact the guide mechanism 120 to remove the adhesions that have been scraped into the guide mechanism 120. This avoids the formation of thick adhesions on the surface of the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 , and reduces the risk that the accuracy of the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 in detecting the temperature in the tank will decrease after repeated use.

[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 provided 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 a 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 passed through the furnace hole into the electrolytic cell to measure the temperature within the cell, thereby realizing automated control of the temperature measurement within the cell.

[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 set 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 shown by A in the figure.

[0061] Specifically, because the temperature inside the electrolytic cell is generally high and the environment is relatively harsh, the embodiment of the present disclosure uses a thermocouple 131 that has a wide measurement range, high measurement accuracy and stability, and is adaptable to high-temperature and harsh environments as the temperature sensor in the cell temperature detection mechanism 130. The thermocouple 131 is a sheathed 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 in the longitudinal 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 automated 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 relative to the width direction of the guide groove 121 ( Figure 1 The device swings in the direction shown by B in the figure.

[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 of the guide groove 121, simulating the operation of swinging an arm during manual sampling. This allows the probe end of the thermocouple immersed in the electrolyte to 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 portion 142, and a fourth driving member 143. The removal bracket 141 is disposed at the end of the measuring arm 110. The impact portion 142 is disposed on the removal bracket 141 and is movable relative to the removal bracket 141. The fourth driving member 143 is connected to the impact portion 142 and is configured to drive the impact portion 142 to move relative to the removal bracket 141, thereby causing the impact portion 142 to contact the guide mechanism 120 and remove adhering objects within 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 achieve that the impact part 142 is driven by the fourth driving member 143 to rotate or move relative to the removal bracket 141, and the impact part 142 can contact the guide mechanism 120 during the rotation or movement. Figure 2 As shown in D.

[0069] Specifically, each time the bath temperature detection mechanism 130 measures the bath temperature, the bath temperature detection mechanism 130 is controlled to reciprocate in the longitudinal direction of the guide mechanism 120, causing the adhering object on the bath temperature detection mechanism 130 to be scraped into the guide mechanism 120. Then, the fourth driving member 143 is controlled to drive the impact portion 142 to rotate relative to the removal bracket 141. This causes the impact portion 142 to contact the guide mechanism 120, thereby removing the adhering object from the guide mechanism 120.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a first shelling mechanism 140 is provided at the end of the measuring arm 110 and at the bottom of the guide mechanism 120. After the adhesions adhered to the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 are scraped 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 provided on the measuring arm 110 and is used to cool the guide mechanism 120 and the tank temperature detection mechanism 130 after measuring the temperature in the tank.

[0072] Specifically, during the electrolytic cell parameter measurement process, the measuring mechanism 100 is typically required to continuously measure the internal temperatures of multiple electrolytic cells. However, after the temperature detection mechanism 130 measures the internal temperature of one electrolytic cell, it is typically necessary to remove any adhesions and cool the cell to a set temperature before measuring the internal temperature of the next electrolytic cell. Natural cooling, however, takes a long time. Therefore, in the disclosed embodiment, a cooling mechanism 150 is also provided on the measuring mechanism 100.

[0073] Specifically, after removing any sticking matter from the bath temperature detection mechanism 130, the cooling mechanism 150 can be used to cool the bath temperature detection mechanism 130 and the guide mechanism 120. This allows the bath temperature detection mechanism 130 and the guide mechanism 120 to quickly cool to a set temperature, quickly meeting the conditions for measuring the internal temperature of the next electrolytic cell. This improves the efficiency of internal temperature measurement when the internal temperatures of multiple electrolytic cells need to be measured continuously.

[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 provided 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 providing two horizontal detection mechanisms 160 on the measuring arm 110, the measuring mechanism 100 is capable of simultaneously measuring the in-cell temperature and two horizontal parameters of the electrolytic cell. This allows a single set of measuring mechanisms 100 to complete the measurement of relevant electrolytic cell parameters, simplifying manual measurement tasks and improving the efficiency of measuring relevant electrolytic cell parameters.

[0077] Optionally, the two-level detection mechanism 160 includes a measuring rod 161, a fifth drive member 162, and an identification camera 163. The measuring rod 161 is mounted on the measuring arm 110 and is capable of sliding relative to the measuring arm 110. The fifth drive member 162 is connected to the measuring rod 161 and is configured to drive the measuring rod 161 to slide relative to the measuring arm 110. The identification camera 163 is mounted on the measuring arm 110, located at an initial position corresponding to the sampling section of the measuring rod 161, and is configured 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: 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 provided 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 recognition camera 163 completes the identification of the two-level parameters of the sampling section of the measuring rod 161, the second shelling mechanism 164 can remove the adhesion of the sampling section of the measuring rod 161. In this way, the adhesion of the measuring rod 161 is automatically removed, thereby improving the measurement efficiency of the two-level parameters by the measuring mechanism 100.

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

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

[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 support 300, one or more measurement mechanisms 100 as described above, and a control device. The moving mechanism 200 is movable relative to the electrolytic cell. The measurement support 300 is mounted on the moving mechanism 200 and is movable relative to the moving mechanism 200. The measurement mechanism 100 is rotatably connected to the measurement support 300 via a rotating shaft. The control device is electrically connected to the moving mechanism 200, the measurement support 300, and the measurement mechanism 100 to control the movement of the moving mechanism 200, the measurement support 300, and the measurement mechanism 100 to measure the temperature within the electrolytic cell.

[0085] Specifically, mobile mechanism 200 is a mechanism that can sense the surrounding environment through sensors, enabling autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance (e.g., an AGV). Autonomous navigation is achieved through laser sensors, infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, etc., and navigation is planned and controlled based on a preset path and target location. Obstacle avoidance is achieved through lidar, infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, etc.

[0086] Specifically, each electrolytic cell in the production workshop is pre-installed with a marker. When the electrolytic parameters of a particular cell need to be measured, the mobile mechanism 200 can automatically move to the target position for measuring the cell temperature based on the marker on the cell using SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology. The electrolytic cell marker is a reference object that is fixed relative to the cell's furnace hole, such as a furnace door or a shelling cylinder.

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

[0088] In the disclosed embodiment, a moving mechanism 200, a measuring bracket 300 movable on the moving mechanism 200, a measuring mechanism 100 rotatably mounted 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 are provided. The measuring system 10 is capable of automatically moving to a target electrolytic cell for in-cell temperature detection and automatically detecting the in-cell temperature of the target electrolytic cell, thereby achieving automated in-cell temperature measurement and improving the intelligence of the measuring system 10.

[0089] Combine Figures 1 to 3 The measuring mechanism shown, and Figure 4 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 a target position in a target electrolytic cell for measuring the internal temperature of the cell. The control device can control the measurement bracket to move relative to the moving mechanism, and the measurement mechanism to rotate relative to the measurement bracket, so that the cell temperature detection mechanism on the measurement mechanism is aligned with the furnace hole. The guide mechanism and the cell temperature detection mechanism on the measurement mechanism can be controlled to slide, so that the probe end of the cell temperature detection mechanism is 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 measurement mechanism to collect the internal temperature of 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 controls the thermocouple to reciprocate relative to the length direction of the guide groove during the return process, so as to scrape the adhesion on the thermocouple into the guide groove.

[0093] Specifically, after measuring the temperature of the target electrolytic cell, the measurement system needs to measure the temperature of the next electrolytic cell. Because the two electrolytic cells are separated by a certain distance, if the guide trough is not returned to its initial position, the measurement system may collide with other objects during its movement to the next electrolytic cell. Therefore, after measuring the temperature of the cells, the guide trough must be controlled to return to its initial position.

[0094] Specifically, during the process of controlling the guide groove to return to its initial position, the adhesions (electrolyte, carbon residue, and other impurities) adhering to the surface of the thermocouple are still in a high-temperature softened state. At this time, by controlling the reciprocating motion of the thermocouple relative to the length of the guide groove, the thermocouple and the guide groove can be caused to slip relative to each other, causing the adhesions adhering to the thermocouple to be scraped into the guide groove. Therefore, during the process of controlling the guide groove to return to its initial position, it is also necessary to control the reciprocating motion of the thermocouple relative to the length 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 sticking material that has been scraped into the guide groove is not removed promptly, it will affect the sliding of the thermocouple in the guide groove during the next temperature measurement. Therefore, the control device also needs to control the first shelling mechanism to impact the guide groove to shake off the sticking material in the guide groove through mechanical impact.

[0097] In the disclosed embodiment, after the bath temperature detection mechanism measures the bath temperature, the bath temperature detection mechanism can be controlled to reciprocate in the longitudinal direction of the guide mechanism to scrape any adhesions adhering to the bath temperature detection mechanism into the guide mechanism. Furthermore, the first shelling mechanism can be controlled to impact the guide mechanism to remove the adhesions scraped into the guide mechanism. This prevents the formation of thick adhesions on the surface of the bath temperature detection mechanism and reduces the risk of reduced accuracy in bath temperature detection after repeated use.

[0098] The present disclosure provides another control method for a measurement system, such as 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 communicatively connected to a terminal device, allowing the electrolytic cell administrator to send a measurement request to the measurement system via the terminal device. The measurement request includes information about the target electrolytic cell for which electrolytic parameters are to be measured. Upon receiving the test request, the control device parses the measurement request to determine the target location corresponding to the target electrolytic cell. The control device then controls the mobile mechanism to move to the target location through autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance. Furthermore, the control device controls the movement of the measurement support relative to the mobile mechanism, and the rotation of the measurement mechanism relative to the measurement support, aligning the thermocouple of the cell temperature detection mechanism with the furnace orifice.

[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 provided on the measuring arm, and the control device can identify 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 level of the electrolyte.

[0105] Specifically, by controlling the thermocouple to slide along the length of the guide slot, the probe end of the thermocouple protrudes from the guide slot by a set length. During the process of measuring the temperature in the tank, the probe end of the thermocouple can be ensured to contact the electrolyte before the guide slot, and sufficient support can be provided to the thermocouple to prevent it 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 thermocouple probe tip is submerged below the electrolyte surface, the thermocouple is swung for a set duration relative to the width of the guide slot, simulating the swinging motion of an arm during manual sampling. This allows for rapid dispersal of crusts on the thermocouple surface, while rapidly raising the thermocouple temperature from room temperature to an electrolyte temperature of 950°C to 1000°C within 10 to 15 seconds. This allows the thermocouple probe tip, submerged in the electrolyte, to quickly and accurately detect the tank's internal temperature, improving efficiency.

[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 slot, it controls the guide slot to return to its initial position, and during the return process, controls the thermocouple to reciprocate in the length direction of the guide slot, so as to scrape the adhesion on the thermocouple into the guide slot.

[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 controlling the measuring mechanism to collect the temperature within the electrolytic cell, after the thermocouple probe tip is submerged below the electrolyte level, the thermocouple is controlled to swing relative to the width of the guide slot for a set period of time. This improves the efficiency of measuring the temperature within the cell.

[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, the 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 understood 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 slot 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 previously detected temperature value 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 a 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 sliding relative to the slide rail by 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.

[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 confirming that the thermocouple probe tip has contacted the electrolyte, the guide slot is controlled to continue sliding relative to the slide rail a second set distance, ensuring that the thermocouple probe tip is completely submerged below the electrolyte level. This improves the accuracy of temperature measurement within the tank.

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

[0122] Specifically, after removing any sticking from the bath temperature detection mechanism, the cooling mechanism is controlled to cool the bath temperature detection mechanism and the guide mechanism, allowing them to quickly cool to a set temperature. This allows the next electrolytic cell's internal temperature to be quickly tested. This improves the efficiency of internal temperature testing for multiple electrolytic cells.
