[0025] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the following will briefly introduce the drawings required for the description of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative efforts.

[0026] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of an anti-misentry device for an electrolysis tank in an embodiment of the present invention;

[0027] In the figure: 1, horizontal rib; 2, vertical column; 3, protective rod; 4, base; 5, universal wheel; 6, heat insulation plate; 7, inclined support; 8, protective gap; 9, channel. Detailed Embodiments

[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] As Figure 1 shown, an anti-misentry device for an electrolysis tank includes transverse ribs 1, vertical columns 2, and protective bars 3. The number of the transverse ribs 1, vertical columns 2, and protective bars 3 is multiple. The multiple transverse ribs 1 are arranged horizontally. Both ends of the multiple vertical columns 2 are respectively fixed between the two ends of adjacent transverse ribs 1. The multiple transverse ribs 1 form a frame through the multiple vertical columns 2. The protective bars 3 are connected between adjacent transverse ribs 1. The frame forms multiple protective gaps 8 through the protective bars 3. A passage 9 is arranged between the bottom transverse rib 1 of the vertical column 2.

[0030] Its working principle is that a frame is formed by the vertical columns 2, protective bars 3, and transverse ribs 1, and the frame has protective gaps 8 and a passage 9. The vertical columns 2 serve as the vertical supports of the protective fence, the transverse ribs 1 serve as the horizontal supports of the protective fence, and the protective bars 3 are used to form a shield so that people cannot pass through. The passage 9 allows the protective fence to pass through the electrolysis tank. In this way, during construction, the electrolysis tank can be covered by the protective fence to prevent people from directly contacting the high-temperature electrolysis tank or being splashed by the electrolyte in the electrolysis tank.

[0031] In some embodiments, the protective bar 3 is parallel to the vertical column 2. This facilitates the arrangement of the protective bar 3 and the vertical column 2, and can make the protective fence have a relatively high support strength, which is convenient for its manufacture.

[0032] In some embodiments, the protective bar 3 is slidably connected to the transverse rib 1. By moving the protective bar 3, such as the protective bar 3 at the top of the frame or the protective bar 3 on the side, it is convenient to put a new electrolysis tank containing electrolyte into the protective fence.

[0033] A bolt for limiting the sliding of the protective bar 3 is arranged on the transverse rib 1. The bolt is used to reposition the protective bar 3 after putting a new electrolysis tank containing electrolyte into the protective fence to prevent people from entering.

[0034] In some embodiments, a base 4 is connected to the bottom of the vertical column 2 or the bottom transverse rib 1 of the vertical column 2, and a universal wheel 5 is arranged at the bottom of the base 4. The universal wheel 5 facilitates the overall movement of the above-mentioned protective fence.

[0035] In some embodiments, an inclined support 7 is connected between one end of the base 4 far from the bottom of the vertical column 2 and the upper part of the vertical column 2. The inclined support 7 enhances the support strength of the protective fence.

[0036] In some embodiments, a heat insulation plate 6 is provided on one side of the caster 5 close to the column 2, and the heat insulation plate 6 is connected to one side of the base 4. The heat insulation plate 6 prevents thermal damage to the caster 5 caused by the high temperature radiated by the electrolysis tank.

[0037] According to the above embodiment of the electrolysis tank anti-misentry device, an electrolysis tank anti-misentry method can be clearly obtained, including:

[0038] S1. A frame is formed by the horizontal ribs 1 and the column 2 to cover the electrolysis tank.

[0039] S2. A plurality of protective gaps 8 are formed on the frame by the protective rods 3 to prevent personnel from contacting the electrolyte in the electrolysis tank.

[0040] S3. A channel 9 is arranged between the bottom horizontal ribs 1 of the column 2 to pass through the electrolysis tank.

[0041] S4. The electrolysis tank is loaded by moving the protective rod 3.

[0042] S5. The guardrail is moved or locked by the caster 5;

[0043] S6. The heat insulation plate 6 prevents thermal damage to the caster 5 caused by the high temperature radiated by the electrolysis tank.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, an electrolysis tank anti-misentry device includes a horizontal rib 1 made of angle iron, which has the function of connecting the protective rod 3 and the base 4 to stabilize the overall structure, a column 2 made of angle iron material, arranged at the four corners of the movable protective rod, which has the functions of supporting and stabilizing the overall structure, a protective rod made of steel pipe, evenly arranged on the upper surface and side surface of the horizontal rib 1 structure, which has the functions of isolation and protection, a base 4 made of channel steel material, arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the protective rod 3, which has the functions of connecting the column 2, the caster 5 and the inclined support 7 and supporting the overall structure, a caster 5 made of iron material, respectively arranged under the base 4, which has the characteristics of being lockable, high-temperature resistant and flexible in moving and turning. A heat insulation plate 6 made of iron sheet, arranged under the base 4 and inside the caster 5, which has the functions of heat insulation and protecting the caster 5, and an inclined support 7 made of angle iron, arranged between the column 2 and the base 4 to form a triangular stable structure, which has the function of stabilizing the overall structure.

[0045] When electrolyte needs to be taken at the electrolytic aluminum production site, first unlock the universal wheel 5 lock and manually push the protective rod 3 to the operation point. Secondly, place the first box containing molten high-temperature electrolyte at the specified location, push the protective rod 3 again to cover the top of the electrolytic box, and lock the universal wheel 5 lock. Finally, when taking multiple boxes of electrolyte, place the electrolyte boxes one by one, and at the same time, move the protective rod 3 to cover the electrolyte boxes one by one to ensure that the electrolyte that has not been completely solidified is always covered in the electrolytic box anti-misentry device. It effectively prevents the occurrence of scalding accidents and improves the safety of on-site operations.
