Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of exhaust air, in particular to an automatic temperature-regulating fan for an electrolytic aluminum workshop. Background Art
[0002] The aluminum smelting workshop is a crucial production area in the aluminum smelting process, responsible for converting alumina into metallic aluminum through electrolysis. Within this highly specialized workshop, large electrolytic cells are arranged in an orderly fashion. Each cell is filled with molten cryolite-alumina electrolyte. Under the action of a powerful direct current, the alumina decomposes into metallic aluminum and oxygen. The entire production environment requires strict control of temperature, current density, and electrolyte composition to ensure efficient and stable operation of the electrolysis process. Furthermore, the aluminum smelting workshop is equipped with advanced automated control systems and environmental protection facilities to monitor production parameters, adjust process conditions, and effectively collect and treat waste gas and waste residue, achieving green and sustainable production goals. Workshop staff undergo professional training and strictly adhere to safety operating procedures to ensure production safety and quality standards, thereby promoting the sustainable and healthy development of the aluminum smelting industry. The electrolyte cleaning area of the aluminum smelting anode assembly facility primarily stores, cleans, and transports high-temperature electrolytes. Due to the high temperature in the workshop, ventilation is typically provided by overhead fans. The team arranges personnel to turn on the fan when the temperature is high, and turn it off after the temperature drops. The start and stop of the fan requires personnel to operate back and forth. Sometimes there is no one to turn off the fan after it is started. When the fan runs for a long time, it often stops and other faults, which makes maintenance costly and time-consuming. Utility Model Content
[0003] In response to the above technical problems, the present utility model discloses an automatic temperature-regulating fan for an electrolytic aluminum workshop, comprising a temperature sensor and a fan assembly. The fan assembly is controlled to start and stop according to the temperature of the temperature sensor. The fan assembly is mounted on a wall, a water storage tank is mounted on the lower side of the fan assembly, and a ventilation hole is provided between the water storage tank and the fan. Through the above technical solution, when the temperature in the workshop is too high, the fan assembly is started to ventilate, which can reduce the temperature in the workshop. When the temperature reaches the required level, the ventilation is stopped, and the water in the water storage tank evaporates into the fan assembly through the ventilation hole. When the fan assembly is operating, the humidity in the workshop can be adjusted.
[0004] Furthermore, a water collecting plate is fixedly mounted on the wall, and the water collecting plate is located at the upper end of the fan assembly.
[0005] Furthermore, a water retaining plate is provided on the side of the wall, and a water leakage hole is provided at the lowest end of the inner side of the water collecting plate.
[0006] Furthermore, a water pipe is fixedly mounted on the fan assembly to connect the water collecting plate and the water storage tank. Through the above technical solution, the water collecting plate can block rainwater, preventing it from entering the fan assembly during rain. At the same time, it can collect rainwater, which is then transferred to the water storage tank through the water pipe for storage and evaporated through the ventilation holes to increase humidity.
[0007] Furthermore, the fan assembly includes a wall panel 1, on which a ventilation duct is fixedly installed. The diameter of the ventilation duct is smaller than the reserved hole on the wall. The ventilation duct passes through the reserved hole to install the wall panel 2. The wall panel 2 and the wall panel 1 are fixed by fixing screws. A motor is fixed in the ventilation duct, and a fan is fixed on the rotating shaft of the motor.
[0008] Furthermore, multiple fixing holes 2 are evenly distributed on the second wall panel, and multiple fixing holes 1 are evenly distributed on the first wall panel. Both fixing holes 1 and 2 are elongated and arranged radially along the ventilation duct. Fixing screws pass through fixing holes 1 and 2 to secure the duct. This technical solution avoids the problem of size deviation of the reserved holes in the wall when the diameter of the ventilation duct is small. At the same time, the structure of fixing holes 1 and 2 allows the fixing screws to be flexibly adjusted to accommodate different reserved holes.
[0009] Furthermore, the ends of the fixing screw are padded with gaskets 1 and 2, respectively, and the diameters of gaskets 1 and 2 are larger than the lengths of fixing holes 1 and 2. With the above technical solution, gaskets 1 and 2 can completely block fixing holes 1 and 2 regardless of their position, preventing water corrosion and foreign matter from entering fixing holes 1 and 2.
[0010] A detachable grid plate is installed in the ventilation duct and is located at one end of the fan assembly close to the outside of the machine room.
[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention compared with the prior art are:
[0012] (1) Through the technical solution of the present invention, when the temperature in the workshop is too high, the fan assembly is started for ventilation, which can reduce the temperature in the workshop. When the temperature reaches the required level, the ventilation is stopped, and the water in the water tank evaporates into the fan assembly through the ventilation holes. When the fan assembly is working, the humidity in the workshop can be adjusted.
[0013] (2) Through the technical solution of the utility model, the water collecting plate can block rainwater and prevent rainwater from entering the fan assembly when it rains. At the same time, it can collect rainwater, enter the water storage tank through the water pipe for storage, and evaporate through the ventilation holes to increase humidity.
[0014] (3) Through the technical solution of the present invention, the problem of size deviation of the reserved holes on the wall can be avoided when the diameter of the ventilation duct is small. At the same time, the structure of the fixing hole 1 and the fixing hole 2 allows the fixing screws to be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different reserved holes.
[0015] (4) Through the technical solution of the present invention, gasket 1 and gasket 2 can completely cover fixing hole 1 and fixing hole 2 regardless of their positions, preventing water corrosion in fixing hole 1 and fixing hole 2, and also preventing foreign matter from entering.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] like Figure 1-Figure 5The illustrated embodiment of an automatic temperature-regulating fan for an electrolytic aluminum workshop comprises a temperature sensor and a fan assembly. The fan assembly is started and stopped according to the temperature of the temperature sensor. The temperature sensors are arranged at different locations in the workshop. The average temperature is calculated by a computer and then regulated. When the power is turned on, the fan assembly is started to exhaust and ventilate. The fan assembly is mounted on a wall 1. A water storage tank 13 is mounted on the lower side of the fan assembly. Ventilation holes 20 are provided between the water storage tank 13 and the fan. Through the above technical solution, when the temperature in the workshop is too high, the fan assembly is started to ventilate, which can lower the temperature in the workshop. When the temperature reaches the required level, the ventilation is stopped. The water in the water storage tank 13 evaporates into the fan assembly through the ventilation holes 20. The inner side of the water storage tank 13 is connected to the interior of the fan assembly. The ventilation holes 20 are provided inside the fan assembly. The evaporated water vapor enters the workshop along with the fan assembly, and the humidity in the workshop can be adjusted when the fan assembly is working.
[0024] In this embodiment, a water collecting plate 9 is fixedly mounted on the wall 1. In other embodiments, the water collecting plate 9 can also be bolted to the fan assembly. In this embodiment, the water collecting plate 9 is located at the upper end of the fan assembly. A water retaining plate 11 is provided on the side of the wall 1. The water collecting plate 9, the wall 1, and the water retaining plate 11 form a water-retaining shape. The water collecting plate 9 is curved, allowing rainwater to flow to both sides. Drain holes 10 are provided at the innermost end of the water collecting plate 9, i.e., on both sides, through which water can flow. A water pipe 12 is fixedly mounted on the fan assembly, connecting the water collecting plate 9 and a water storage tank 13. Water flows through the water pipe 12 into the water storage tank 13 for storage. Through this technical solution, the water collecting plate 9 can block rainwater, preventing it from entering the fan assembly during rain. It can also collect rainwater, which flows through the water pipe 12 into the water storage tank 13 for storage and evaporates through the vents 20 to increase humidity.
[0025] In this embodiment, the fan assembly includes a wall panel 2, on which a ventilation duct 7 is fixedly installed. The diameter of the ventilation duct 7 is smaller than the reserved hole on the wall 1. The ventilation duct 7 passes through the reserved hole to install the wall panel 2 8. The wall panel 2 8 and the wall panel 2 are fixed by fixing screws 4. The wall panel 2 and the wall panel 2 8 clamp the wall 1. The diameter of the reserved hole is larger than the diameter of the ventilation duct 7, so a gap is left between the ventilation duct 7 and the reserved hole. A motor 5 is fixed in the ventilation duct 7, specifically, a motor frame 6 is fixed in the ventilation duct 7, and the motor 5 is fixed on the motor frame 6 by bolts. A fan 19 is fixed on the rotating shaft of the motor 5. The motor 5 is powered on to start the motor 5. The rotation of the motor 5 drives the fan 19 to rotate to start exhaust ventilation. A plurality of fan assemblies are provided on the wall 1, some of which blow inward and some blow outward. The fan assembly blowing inward is installed in a water storage tank 13 to store water and maintain the humidity in the factory.
[0026] Multiple fixing holes 2 15 are evenly arranged on the wallboard 2 8, and multiple fixing holes 14 are evenly arranged on the wallboard 1 2. Both fixing holes 14 and fixing holes 2 15 are long strips and are arranged along the radial direction of the ventilation duct 7. Fixing screws 4 are inserted through fixing holes 14 and fixing holes 2 15 for fixing. Nuts 18 are fixed to the ends of the fixing screws 4. Through the above technical solution, the problem of size deviation of the reserved holes on the wall 1 can be avoided when the diameter of the ventilation duct 7 is small. At the same time, the structure of fixing holes 14 and fixing holes 2 15 allows the fixing screws 4 to be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different reserved holes. The ends of the fixing screws 4 are padded with gaskets 1 3 and 2 16, respectively. The diameters of gaskets 1 3 and 2 16 are larger than the lengths of fixing holes 14 and 2 15. Through the above technical solution, gasket 1 3 and gasket 2 16 can completely cover fixing hole 14 and fixing hole 2 15 no matter where they are, preventing water corrosion in fixing hole 14 and fixing hole 2 15, and also preventing foreign objects from entering; a detachable grid plate 17 is installed in the ventilation duct 7, which is located at the end of the fan assembly close to the outside of the machine room.
[0027] The above embodiments merely represent one or several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
