[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automation equipment, in particular to an electrolytic furnace anode assembly device that is integrated with drilling, assembling and riveting. Background Art
[0002] An electrolytic furnace is a device that converts electrical energy into chemical energy. Its working principle is based on the electrolysis phenomenon. In an electrolytic furnace, an electric current passes through an electrolyte solution or a molten electrolyte to cause an oxidation-reduction reaction of ions in the solution or molten electrolyte.

Then the anode conductive iron plate and pins are installed, and the pins are hammered in sequence with a hand hammer. Since they are not hammered in at one time, when one of the pins is manually struck, the other side will rebound, causing a gap on the riveted surface. In addition, there are the following disadvantages: 1. Poor drilling position accuracy; 2. Inconsistent drilling depth; 3. Poor riveting fit; 4. High operation intensity; 5. Safety hazards.
