Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of aluminum electrolytic cell anode measuring tools, in particular to an aluminum electrolytic cell anode voltage drop measuring device. Background Art

[0002] The anode of an aluminum reduction cell is one of the key raw materials for aluminum electrolysis production. It acts as a conductor to conduct direct current into the electrolyte layer and, as a carbon material, participates in the anode reaction of electrolysis. During the aluminum electrolysis production process, it is often necessary to analyze and judge the cell by testing certain data points. This requires the use of testing tools to measure voltage drops in certain areas. The data obtained allows for judgment and treatment of the cell, thereby stabilizing its operating status. Alternatively, new anode energy-saving solutions can be explored to guide aluminum electrolysis production and implement energy conservation and consumption reduction efforts.

[0003] At present, the anode voltage drop measurement is generally performed online by setting a pin on the anode part. For example, the Chinese patent application with publication number CN118086980A and publication date May 28, 2024 proposes a spring-loaded pin for assembled anode voltage drop online automatic measurement equipment for aluminum electrolysis, including a main pin; the main pin is coaxially fixed through a steel inner sleeve, and a copper pin group is fixed near the front end point of the main pin; the steel inner sleeve is coaxially sleeved in the steel outer sleeve, and a high-strength spring is sleeved on the steel inner sleeve between the steel inner sleeve and the steel outer sleeve to reset the relative displacement between the steel inner sleeve and the steel outer sleeve; the copper pin group includes multiple copper spring small pins.

[0004] During use, the main ejector pin can pass through the steel inner sleeve and the steel outer sleeve without hindrance and without lateral movement when the steel inner sleeve and the steel outer sleeve move relative to each other. A high-strength spring is provided on the outside of the main cylinder of the inner sleeve. The diameter of the high-strength spring is smaller than the diameter of the front plug of the inner sleeve. The high-strength spring is used for the relative movement of the steel inner sleeve and the steel outer sleeve to realize the extension and retraction of the main ejector pin, thereby driving the copper ejector pin group to make extension and retraction adjustments.

[0005] In response to the above-mentioned related technologies, a spring-loaded ejector pin is installed on the anode guide rod to ensure that the upper aluminum guide rod of the assembled anode is stably energized, thereby meeting the operational requirements of online measurement of the assembled anode voltage drop. However, the online measurement method has a high investment cost and requires regular maintenance, and is difficult to operate. Handheld measuring tools are lower in cost and more flexible, and are suitable for rapid detection and adjustment in actual operations. At present, handheld measuring tools are generally made and used by production personnel themselves, but homemade handheld measuring tools are usually simple in structure and inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to improve the convenience of using an anode voltage drop measuring device, the utility model provides an anode voltage drop measuring device for an aluminum electrolytic cell.

[0007] The utility model provides an anode voltage drop measuring device for an aluminum electrolytic cell, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] An anode voltage drop measuring device for an aluminum electrolytic cell, characterized by comprising: a handheld rod, a first probe rod, and a second probe rod;

[0009] The handheld rod is provided with a rotating connecting piece and a millivoltmeter;

[0010] The first probe comprises a connecting portion and a first measuring portion, wherein the first measuring portion is provided at one end of the connecting portion, the connecting portion is rotatably connected to the rotating connector, and the first measuring portion is connected to the positive electrical signal of the millivoltmeter;

[0011] The second probe includes a bending portion and a second measuring portion. The second measuring portion is arranged at one end of the bending portion. The other end of the bending portion is fixedly arranged on the handheld rod. The second measuring portion is connected to the negative electrical signal of the millivoltmeter.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the first measuring portion at the end of the first probe is connected to the positive electrode of the millivoltmeter via a wire, and the second measuring portion at the end of the second probe is connected to the negative electrode of the millivoltmeter via a wire. When using this measuring device to measure the anode part, the first measuring portion is placed against the anode guide rod, the second probe is inserted into the electrolyte of the aluminum electrolysis cell, and the second measuring portion is placed against the bottom of the anode carbon block. The millivoltmeter is then turned on to measure the voltage drop of the anode part. In this way, since the second probe is fixedly connected to the handheld rod, after the second probe is placed against the anode carbon block by hand, the first probe can be manually adjusted so that both the first and second probes are tightly attached to the anode part, maintaining good contact between the first and second measuring portions. At the same time, since the millivoltmeter is fixedly mounted on the handheld rod, it does not affect the reading, making operation convenient.

[0013] Optionally, a clamping assembly is further provided on the first measuring part of the first probe rod, and the clamping assembly includes a claw, a first elastic member and a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is fixedly set on the first measuring part, the claw is rotatably set on the rotating shaft, the first elastic member is set on the claw, and the first elastic member has a tendency to make the claw grasp, and the claw is electrically connected to the first measuring part.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the claw is rotatably mounted on the first probe rod via a rotating shaft. The claw is automatically clamped together under the action of the first elastic member. When the first probe rod is placed on the anode guide rod, the clamping assembly is opened, and the clamping assembly automatically clamps onto the anode guide rod and electrically connects with the first measuring unit. In this way, with the cooperation of the clamping assembly, the clamping assembly clamps and secures the first measuring unit of the first probe rod to the anode guide rod, making the connection between the first probe rod and the anode guide rod more secure and reliable, reducing the probability of separation between the first probe rod and the anode guide rod, and maintaining continuous electrical continuity between the first probe rod and the anode guide rod during operation.

[0015] Optionally, the claw is further provided with a plurality of elastic ejectors, and the plurality of elastic ejectors are all provided on the end surface of the claw close to the anode guide rod, and the elastic ejectors are electrically connected to the first measuring part.

[0016] When the claw hand is clamped on the anode guide rod, the relative inner end face of the claw hand may be clamped on the edge of the anode guide rod, resulting in too small a contact area between the claw hand and the anode guide rod, poor contact or excessive contact resistance caused by the small contact area, affecting the measurement of the voltage drop at the anode guide rod. By adopting this technical solution, the elastic ejector pin will automatically shrink when subjected to pressure. When the claw hand is clamped on the anode guide rod, the two ends of the elastic ejector pin will be respectively subjected to pressure from the anode guide rod and the claw hand, causing the elastic ejector pin to shrink. Then, when the claw hand is clamped on the anode guide rod, the end faces of multiple elastic ejectors away from the claw hand will automatically fit against the outer surface of the anode guide rod under the action of elasticity. In this way, multiple elastic pins are set to measure the conduction between the claw hand and the anode guide rod. Multiple elastic pins can increase the contact points between the claw hand and the anode guide rod. On the one hand, it can reduce the probability of poor contact between the claw hand and the anode guide rod, and ensure normal communication between the anode guide rod and the claw hand; on the other hand, it can also increase the contact area between the claw hand and the anode guide rod, reduce contact resistance, reduce the influence of contact resistance on the anode voltage drop, and improve the accuracy of anode voltage drop measurement.

[0017] Optionally, a control assembly is also provided on the first probe rod, and the control assembly includes a first pull rod, a second pull rod and a pull ring. One end of the first pull rod is rotatably connected to the outer edge of the claw hand, and the other end of the first pull rod is rotatably connected to the second pull rod. The pull ring is arranged at the other end of the second pull rod, and the second pull rod is slidably arranged on the first probe rod.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, by pulling the pull ring connected to one end of the first pull rod, the first pull rod can be made to slide on the first probe rod, and the second pull rod rotatably connected to the other end of the first pull rod will shift its position as the first pull rod slides, and the end of the second pull rod connected to the first pull rod will rotate. At the same time, the connection between the other end of the second pull rod and the claw hand will also rotate at the same time, and drive the connection between the claw hand and the second pull rod toward the first pull rod, thereby opening the claw hand. In this way, by controlling the coordination of the various components on the assembly, the pull ring is pulled to open the claw hand, and the pull ring is released, and the claw hand is clamped under the action of the first elastic member, making the control of the clamping assembly simpler and easier to operate.

[0019] Optionally, an extension portion is further provided on the first probe rod, and the extension portion is provided between the connecting portion and the first measuring portion. A fastening bolt for fixing the extension portion is provided on one side of the extension portion.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the length of the first probe rod can be extended by loosening the fastening bolt and withdrawing the extension portion, and the length of the first probe rod can be fixed by tightening the fastening bolt. The length of the first probe rod is thus adjustable, allowing the first probe rod to perform contact tests on the anode parts of aluminum electrolysis cells of different specifications, increasing the flexibility of the device and making it suitable for different usage scenarios.

[0021] Optionally, a rotating member is provided on the second measuring part of the second probe rod, and the rotating member is provided on the end face of the second measuring part close to the first probe rod. A second elastic member is connected between the rotating member and the second probe rod, and one end of the second elastic member is connected to the end face of the rotating member close to the handheld part, and the other end is connected to the end face of the second probe rod where it is connected to the rotating member. The second elastic member has a tendency to make the rotating member approach the second probe rod.

[0022] When measuring the anode, the second probe needs to penetrate deep into the electrolyte, preventing the measurement operator from observing the contact between the second probe and the anode base in real time. By adopting the above-described technical solution, the rotating member, when not under external force, is urged against the measuring portion of the second probe by the second elastic member. When the rotating member initially contacts the anode base, the edge of the rotating member first contacts the anode base. Then, the second probe is pulled upward, and the portion of the rotating member in contact with the second probe is rotated by the thrust of the second probe until the end face of the rotating member contacts the end face of the anode base. This arrangement increases the contact area between the second probe and the anode base, reducing the likelihood of poor contact between the measuring portion of the second probe and the anode base. The second elastic member reduces back-and-forth swinging of the rotating member when not under force, minimizing damage caused by collisions between the rotating member and the second probe. Furthermore, the rotating member maintains its overall upward orientation when the second probe penetrates deep into the electrolyte, ensuring contact with the bottom of the anode base.

[0023] Optionally, the second probe rod is provided with a plurality of weight-reducing holes, and the second probe rod is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs, the reinforcing ribs are provided at the edges of the second probe rod, and the reinforcing ribs are provided along the extension direction of the second probe rod.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the weight-reducing holes can help the second probe rod to properly adjust the center of gravity position and the weight of the second probe rod, so that the second probe rod can be better balanced when held. At the same time, the temperature of the aluminum electrolyte is usually high, and the weight-reducing holes can also help the second probe rod to better dissipate heat; the strengthening ribs can increase the bending moment that the second probe rod can withstand and improve the strength of the second probe rod.

[0025] Optionally, an elastic telescopic rod is provided between the second probe rod and the hand-held rod, the fixed end of the elastic telescopic rod is connected to the hand-held rod, and the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod is connected to the second probe rod, and the elastic telescopic rod has a tendency to make the second probe rod approach the hand-held rod.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the electrolyte temperature in the aluminum electrolytic cell is relatively high. When using a handheld device to measure the anode portion of the aluminum electrolytic cell, if the handheld portion is relatively close to the aluminum electrolytic cell, it may cause hand discomfort and even certain safety risks. In its natural state, the elastic telescopic rod is retracted. At this time, the second probe is relatively close to the handheld rod. When the anode base is deep from the edge of the aluminum electrolytic cell, the second probe is inserted into the aluminum electrolytic cell. After the measuring portion of the second probe is attached to the anode base, the handheld rod is pulled upward. The elastic telescopic rod will extend, furthering the handheld portion from the aluminum electrolytic cell, improving handhold comfort and reducing usage risks. At the same time, due to the elastic effect of the elastic telescopic rod, the measuring portion of the second probe can be clamped to the anode base, so that the measuring portion of the second probe can be more firmly attached to the anode base for measurement.

[0027] In summary, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] A first probe rod and a second probe rod are provided with a rotatable connection. The first probe rod and the second probe rod can be respectively tightly attached to the anode guide rod and the anode bottom palm by manual adjustment, so that the first probe rod and the second probe rod can maintain good contact with the anode part, and the millivoltmeter is set on the handheld rod for reading, which is convenient to operate.

[0029] A clamping assembly is provided on the first probe rod, which can clamp the first measuring portion of the first probe rod to the anode guide rod, so that the first probe rod can be connected to the anode guide rod more firmly and reliably, reducing the probability of separation between the first probe rod and the anode guide rod.

[0030] Installing multiple elastic pins on the clamping assembly to connect with the anode guide rod can, on the one hand, reduce the probability of poor contact between the gripper and the anode guide rod, ensuring normal communication between the anode guide rod and the gripper; on the other hand, it can also increase the contact area between the gripper and the anode guide rod, reduce contact resistance, reduce the influence of contact resistance on the anode voltage drop, and improve the accuracy of anode voltage drop measurement.

[0031] A control component for controlling the clamping component is provided to make the control of the clamping component simpler and easier to operate.

[0032] Installing a rotating member and a second elastic member on the second probe rod can increase the contact area between the second probe rod and the anode bottom palm, reduce the occurrence of poor contact between the measuring part of the second probe rod and the anode bottom palm, and enable the rotating member to stably fit at the bottom position of the anode bottom palm.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The following combination Figures 1 to 4 The utility model is described in further detail.

[0039] The prebaked anode system consists of anode carbon blocks, anode guide rods, and steel claws. Each anode carbon block group typically contains 1-2 anode carbon blocks with a width of 700-900mm, a length of 1400-1700mm, and a height of 500-600mm. During assembly, the carbon blocks and steel claws are bonded together using cast iron or carbon paste tamping. The anode guide rods are then pressed and fixed to the anode busbar using a special fixture. The anode lifting mechanism is used to adjust the position of the anode so that the anode portion is suspended in the aluminum electrolysis cell. The anode guide rod and contact resistance will cause a voltage drop in the anode portion. During normal aluminum electrolysis production, the average daily consumption of anode carbon blocks is about 2cm. The ohmic voltage drop of the carbon anode is 300-600mV, accounting for 10%-15% of the cell voltage drop. The quality of the anode material and its working condition have a significant impact on current efficiency, power consumption, and material consumption. Reducing the anode voltage drop can improve the efficiency of aluminum electrolysis and reduce costs.

The first probe rod 200 is also connected to the negative pole of the millivoltmeter 400 through a wire, and the second probe rod 300 is connected to the positive pole of the millivoltmeter 400. The millivoltmeter 400 is turned on to record the deflection data of the millivoltmeter 400, which is the voltage drop between the anode guide rod 500 and the bottom palm of the anode carbon block 600.

The elastic ejector pins 234 are copper sleeves with thrust springs arranged inside. The copper sleeve is connected to the millivoltmeter 400 through a wire. When the claw hand is clamped on the anode guide rod 500, the elastic ejector pins 234 will press against the outer peripheral surface of the anode guide rod 500, thereby maintaining good contact between the anode guide rod 500 and the millivoltmeter 400.

Furthermore, in other embodiments, the first pull rod 241 and the second pull rod 242 may be inextensible flexible zippers, or a pulling structure capable of pulling the outer wall of the claw hand 231 to move.

[0047] Refer to the attached Figure 2The second probe rod 300 is a steel metal rod welded together in two sections. The two sections of the metal rod are connected together at a certain angle and a bent portion 310 is formed at the angle. In order to reduce the weight of the second probe rod 300 and adjust the center position of the second probe rod 300 to make it more comfortable to hold, a weight-reducing hole 350 is provided on the second probe rod 300.

The rotating member 330 will stick to the bottom palm of the anode carbon block 600 under the pulling of the second probe rod 300. At the same time, when the second probe rod 300 is pulled, the elastic telescopic member connected between the second probe rod 300 and the hand-held rod 100 will extend appropriately to provide a certain tightening force. After the rotating member 330 is attached to the bottom palm of the anode, the other hand grasps the pull ring 243.
