Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transport vehicles, in particular to an electrolytic aluminum liquid electrolyte transport vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The amount and temperature of electrolyte in the aluminum electrolysis process affect the energy consumption, product quality, and cell life of the electrolytic cell. Only when the electrolyte level is properly maintained can alumina be effectively incorporated into the electrolyte. Electrolytic cell operation is not always stable. When the electrolyte level is low, the solubility of alumina decreases, precipitation forms at the furnace bottom, and the electrolytic cell becomes clogged, increasing labor intensity. During this process, the electrolyte level must be adjusted to meet the cell's production needs. Therefore, electrolyte transport is a regular task in electrolytic production.

[0003] The electrolyte is transported using manual carts. While existing technologies can achieve this, the process relies on manual pushing, significantly increasing the workload. Furthermore, the barrels can easily shake during transport, causing electrolyte spillage and posing a safety hazard. Furthermore, as electrolytic cells grow larger, manual electrolyte adjustments become increasingly difficult. Therefore, a safer electrolyte transport device is needed. Utility Model Content

[0024] Example

[0025] The following is further described in conjunction with specific embodiments. Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 As shown, the electrolytic aluminum liquid electrolyte transport vehicle of this embodiment includes a vehicle body 11, a support frame 12 hinged to the vehicle body 11, a driving device, a container 13 hinged to one end of the support frame 12 away from the vehicle body 11, a cover body 15 arranged above the container 13 and with its opening facing downward, a support rod 16 for connecting the cover body 15 and the vehicle body 11, and a pull rope 21 connected to the lower end of the container 13; the cover body 15 is arranged obliquely above the container 13, and a hinge shaft 14 is provided at the connection between the vehicle body 11 and the support frame 12, and the driving device is used to drive the support frame 12 to rotate along the hinge shaft 14. Specifically, when in use, the electrolyte is poured into the container 13 (as shown in the attached figure). Figure 1-2 Then, the driving shaft device is used to drive the support frame 12 to rotate along the hinge shaft 14, and then the container 13 is lifted to a certain height so that the upper end of the container 13 contacts the cover body 15 (as shown in the attached figure). Figure 3 As shown), the cover 15 is used to cover the open end of the container 13, so that the high-temperature electrolyte can be effectively prevented from splashing out of the container 13 during transportation. After arriving at the destination, the height of the container 13 is appropriately lowered by the driving device, and the container 13 can be turned over by pulling the pull rope 21 (as shown in the attached figure). Figure 4 As shown), the electrolyte solution is poured out, so that workers do not need to come into contact with the electrolyte when transferring the high-temperature electrolyte, and the transfer and pouring process is very safe, more efficient, and more time-saving and labor-saving.

[0026] In this embodiment, the upper sidewall of the support rod 16 is provided with a through-hole, through which the pull rope 21 is passed. Specifically, since the pull rope 21 is used to pull and flip the container 13, the highest point of the pull rope 21 needs to be at a certain height. Therefore, the pull rope 21 can be passed through the support rod 16 to increase its height.

[0027] In this embodiment, a pull ring 22 is provided on the side wall of the lower end of the container 13 , and the pull rope 21 is fixedly connected to the pull ring 22 .

[0028] In this embodiment, the vehicle body 11 is provided with a winding shaft 23 at the end away from the container 13. The winding shaft 23 is connected to a winding motor 24. The pull rope 21 is connected to the winding shaft 23 at the end away from the pull ring 22. Specifically, the winding shaft 23 is driven by the winding motor 24 to rotate, thereby achieving automatic pulling of the pull rope 21. Alternatively, the winding shaft 23 can be manually rotated.

[0029] In this embodiment, the diameter of the lower end of the cover 15 is larger than the diameter of the upper end; the inner diameter of the lower end of the cover 15 is larger than the outer diameter of the upper end of the container 13. Specifically, the cover 15 can fully cover the opening of the container 13. Even if the container 13 is shaken and the electrolyte in the container 13 is spilled, it will not be thrown far away, but will only be scattered in a small area directly below the cover 15, which can fully ensure the safety of personnel.

[0030] In this embodiment, a vertically arranged spring 17 is provided at the upper end of the support rod 16, and the lower end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the cover 15. Specifically, the spring 17 can provide a flexible connection between the cover 15 and the support rod 16, so that the cover 15 can swing within a certain range, so that the upper end of the container 13 can be better inserted into the cover 15. Under the action of the spring 17, the cover 15 can be more closely attached to the upper end of the container 13.

[0031] The drive device in this embodiment includes a hydraulic cylinder 18 hingedly connected to the vehicle body 11 and a fixed rod 19 mounted horizontally on the support frame 12. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 18 is hingedly connected to the fixed rod 19. Specifically, for small-capacity containers 13, a device with lower thrust, such as an electric push rod, can also be used. In this embodiment, a small or micro hydraulic cylinder 18 can be used. Since the hydraulic cylinder 18 requires electricity to drive, the vehicle body 11 needs to be equipped with a battery, motor, etc., so the vehicle body 11 itself can also be driven electrically.

[0032] In summary, the electrolytic aluminum liquid electrolyte transport vehicle of this embodiment pours the electrolyte into the container 13 when in use, and then uses the driving shaft device to drive the support frame 12 to rotate along the hinge shaft 14, and then lifts the container 13 to a certain height, so that the upper end of the container 13 is in contact with the cover body 15, and the open end of the container 13 is covered by the cover body 15, so that the high-temperature electrolyte can be effectively prevented from splashing out of the container 13 during transportation. After arriving at the destination, the height of the container 13 is appropriately lowered by the driving device, and the container 13 can be turned over by pulling the pull rope 21, and the electrolyte solution therein is poured out. In this way, when workers transfer the high-temperature electrolyte, they not only do not need to come into contact with the electrolyte, but the transfer and dumping processes are also very safe, more efficient, and more time-saving and labor-saving.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
