[0002] In the aluminum electrolytic cells currently used, especially in large electrolytic cells, graphitized cathode carbon blocks and full-graphite cathode carbon blocks have been widely used and have achieved good results. Compared with the high-graphite series cathode carbon blocks, graphitized cathode carbon blocks have better overall uniformity and very good thermal conductivity, which effectively solves the problem of difficult adjustment of thermal balance in large aluminum electrolytic cells. Good electrical conductivity can greatly reduce the pressure drop at the bottom of the electrolytic cell. The overhaul of the electrolytic cell generally adopts graphitized cathode and phosphorus pig iron casting technology, and the electrolytic cell runs smoothly. , furnace bottom pressure drop, average voltage advantages are obvious, the comprehensive power consumption of aluminum liquid is much lower than the tiered electricity price, but during the operation, it was found that the heat dissipation of the lower side of the cathode area of ​​the graphitized cathode electrolytic cell was too large, and the legs of some electrolytic cells became significantly longer, affecting the stability of the electrolytic cell. In order to effectively solve the problem of large side heat dissipation, improve the thermal balance of the electrolytic cell, form a regular furnace chamber for the electrolytic cell, and improve its stability, it is urgently needed to further optimize the structure of the device for heat preservation and energy saving outside the cathode area of ​​the aluminum electrolytic cell, so as to achieve sustainable energy saving and consumption reduction of the online electrolytic cell and continuous improvement of production efficiency.

[0009] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] The utility model provides an external thermal insulation structure of the cathode area of ​​an aluminum electrolytic cell, which is mainly composed of the cathode area of ​​the electrolytic cell, a cathode steel bar, a slot, nano-aerocondensation insulation felt and fixing tie bands and other components. The nano-aerocondensation insulation felt insulation material is cut according to the size of the cathode steel bar area on the side of the electrolytic cell and the lower side inclined surface area, and then the insulation material is fixed to the side and inclined surface of the cathode area of ​​the electrolytic cell with a tie band, which effectively reduces the heat dissipation of the cathode area on the lower side of the electrolytic cell, improves the thermal balance of the electrolytic cell, and provides strong support and guarantee for the efficient and stable operation of the electrolytic cell and obtaining good indicators.

Therefore, the insulation structure has good practicality.
