Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hole enlarging of an aluminum outlet of an electrolytic cell, in particular to a ground pneumatic hole enlarging device for an aluminum outlet of an electrolytic cell. Background Art

[0002] The aluminum outlet of the electrolytic cell is mainly used for daily aluminum outlet operations, salvaging carbon slag, adding electrolyte fragments, etc. The aluminum outlet is generally in a normally open state. Even if there is a crust on some of the surface, it can be easily opened under the action of the aluminum outlet shelling cylinder. During the aluminum outlet operation, there is a certain angle between the aluminum outlet pipe on the lifting bag and the liquid surface in the electrolytic cell. Only when the size of the crust surface of the aluminum outlet is more than 2 times the diameter of the suction pipe can it be ensured that the suction pipe is parallel to the bottom of the electrolytic cell and leaves a certain distance for the suction of aluminum liquid when the lifting bag is sucking out the aluminum liquid. Affected by the electrolysis process, due to the crust on the aluminum outlet furnace side and other reasons, the aluminum outlet will gradually shrink inward. If the aluminum outlet of the electrolytic cell is too small, it will make it difficult to insert the aluminum outlet pipe, affecting the suction of aluminum liquid. The lifting bag suction pipe may also break, which will also affect the quality of carbon slag salvage, the time of effect extinguishing and the smooth pouring of liquid electrolyte. As time goes by, the aluminum outlet will become smaller and smaller, and the impact on electrolytic production will become greater and greater. Therefore, the aluminum outlet must be expanded outward regularly. In the past, manual expansion operations were performed using pneumatic picks and planers, which was labor-intensive and time-consuming. It took about 30 minutes to expand an aluminum outlet, which was inefficient. In addition, the operators were in close contact with the shell surface of the electrolytic cell and faced a cell temperature of more than 930°C, which posed safety hazards such as heatstroke and burns caused by electrolyte overflow.
