[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metallurgical equipment technology, and more specifically, to an electrolytic cell short-circuiting device. Background Technology
[0002] Electrolytic cells require regular maintenance and operation during production, such as replacing parts or cleaning impurities. This process necessitates temporarily cutting off the current flow within the cell, a procedure known as "short-circuiting." Currently, short-circuiting involves workers wearing protective gear placing a metal rod to create a short circuit within the cell. However, this manual operation poses a safety risk, potentially leading to electric shock to workers or damage to related components. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electrolytic cell short-circuiting device that changes the relative position of the conductive block of the adjusting component and the conductive busbar of the electrolytic cell, thereby causing the conductive busbar of the electrolytic cell to form a short circuit or release the short circuit state, reducing the risk of electric shock and improving safety performance.
[0004] The first aspect of this utility model provides an electrolytic cell short-circuiting device, which includes:
[0005] Base;
[0006] A support frame, one side of which is connected to the base, defines an installation space, in which the conductive busbar of the electrolytic cell is placed, and a first mounting hole is provided on the side of the support frame away from the base;
[0007] An adjusting member is disposed within the installation space. The adjusting member passes through the first mounting hole and is movably connected to the support frame.

[0008] In one possible embodiment of this utility model, the direction of movement of the adjusting member is a first direction.
[0009] In one possible embodiment of this utility model, the adjusting member includes an adjusting rod and a conductive block. The adjusting rod is connected to the conductive block, and the adjusting rod is threadedly connected to the wall of the first mounting hole. The side of the conductive block opposite to the adjusting rod abuts against or separates from the conductive bar.
[0010] In one possible embodiment of this utility model, the conductive block is provided with a second mounting hole, and the adjusting rod is detachably connected to the second mounting hole.
[0011] In one possible embodiment of this utility model, a rotating part is provided at the end of the adjusting rod away from the conductive block, and the rotating part is located outside the mounting space.

[0013] In one possible embodiment of this utility model, one side of the support frame is movably connected to the base.
[0014] In one possible embodiment of this utility model, one side of the support frame abuts against the base and is connected by bolts.

[0016] In one possible embodiment of the present invention, the electrolytic cell short-circuiting device further includes an insulating component disposed between the support frame and the conductive bar.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The electrolytic cell short-circuiting device provided by this utility model has a base located at the edge of the electrolytic cell.

The adjusting component can move relative to the support frame through the first mounting hole, so that the relative position of the conductive block of the adjusting component and the conductive busbar of the electrolytic cell changes. When the conductive block abuts against the conductive busbar, the conductive busbar of the electrolytic cell forms a short circuit, thereby cutting off the current in the electrolytic cell, so as to facilitate the operation and maintenance of the electrolytic cell by the operator. When the conductive block separates from the conductive busbar, the short circuit state of the conductive busbar is released, and the current of the electrolytic cell is realized. This improves the accuracy of the operator's short-circuiting operation, reduces the risk of electric shock, and thus improves the safety performance. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] refer to Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides an electrolytic cell short-circuiting device 100, which includes a base 110, a support frame 120, and an adjusting member 130. The electrolytic cell short-circuiting device 100 is used to perform a short-circuiting operation on the electrolytic cell. The short-circuiting operation refers to artificially creating a low-impedance path on the busbar 210 of the electrolytic cell, so that the current can bypass a specific electrolytic cell or part of the electrolytic cell.
[0034] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, one side of the support frame 120 is connected to the base, and the support frame 120 defines an installation space 121. The conductive busbar 210 of the electrolytic cell is placed in the installation space 121, and a first mounting hole 122 is provided on the side of the support frame 120 away from the base 110. An adjusting member 130 is disposed in the installation space 121, passes through the first mounting hole 122, and is movably connected to the support frame 120. A conductive block 132 is provided on the side of the adjusting member 130 away from the first mounting hole 122 so that the conductive block 132 abuts against or separates from the conductive busbar 210. Correspondingly, the base 110 is located at the edge of the electrolytic cell and is used to fix the support frame 120. The conductive busbar 210 of the electrolytic cell is placed within the mounting space 121 of the support frame 120. The adjusting member 130 can move relative to the support frame 120 through the first mounting hole 122, changing the relative position of the conductive block 132 of the adjusting member 130 and the conductive busbar 210 of the electrolytic cell. The conductive busbar 210 of the electrolytic cell is equipped with a busbar. When the conductive block 132 abuts against the conductive busbar 210, a short circuit is formed in the conductive busbar 210 of the electrolytic cell, thereby cutting off the current in the electrolytic cell, facilitating operation and maintenance by the staff. When the conductive block 132 separates from the conductive busbar 210, the short circuit state of the conductive busbar 210 is released, allowing the current to flow in the electrolytic cell, improving the accuracy of short-circuit operations by the staff, and reducing the risk of electric shock.
[0035] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the conductive busbar 210 includes a first conductive busbar 211 and a second conductive busbar 212. The two opposite ends of the conductive block 132 are connected to the first conductive busbar 211 and the second conductive busbar 212 respectively, so as to short-circuit the busbar of the electrolytic cell, allowing personnel to perform partial shutdown or maintenance of the electrolytic cell. It can be understood that the conductive block 132 needs to simultaneously abut against the first conductive busbar 211 and the second conductive busbar 212, so that the first conductive busbar 211 is short-circuited with the second conductive busbar 212 through the conductive block 132 to form a low-impedance path, allowing the current to bypass the electrolytic cell.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electrolytic cell shorting device 100 has a first direction X, a second direction Y, and a third direction Z, wherein the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are arranged perpendicularly to each other. For example, the first direction X refers to the height direction of the electrolytic cell shorting device 100, the second direction Y refers to the length direction of the electrolytic cell shorting device 100, and the third direction Z refers to the width direction of the electrolytic cell shorting device 100. It is understood that the above definitions are only for ease of understanding the relative positional relationships of the various parts in the electrolytic cell shorting device 100 and should not be construed as limitations on this application.
[0037] In one embodiment, alternatively, referencing Figure 1 As shown, the movement direction of the adjusting member 130 is the first direction X, that is, the adjusting member 130 moves along the height direction of the electrolytic cell short-circuit device 100, so as to drive the conductive block 132 closer to or away from the conductive busbar 210 by the adjusting member 130 along the first direction X. For example, the first conductive busbar 211 and the second conductive busbar 212 are arranged side by side along the second direction Y, so that the adjusting member 130 can simultaneously abut against the first conductive busbar 211 and the second conductive busbar 212.
[0038] In one embodiment, alternatively, referencing Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a rotating part 1311 is provided at the end of the adjusting rod 131 away from the conductive block 132. The rotating part 1311 is located outside the installation space 121. Accordingly, personnel can rotate the rotating part 1311 to adjust the relative position of the adjusting rod 131. The rotating part 1311, located outside the installation space 121, is isolated from the conductive block 132, reducing the risk of electric shock when personnel rotate the rod.
[0039] In summary, the base 110 of the electrolytic cell short-circuit device 100 is located at the edge of the electrolytic cell. The base 110 is used to fix the support frame 120 and place the conductive busbar 210 of the electrolytic cell in the installation space 121 of the support frame 120. The adjusting member 130 can move relative to the support frame 120 through the first mounting hole 122, so that the relative position of the conductive block 132 of the adjusting member 130 and the conductive busbar 210 of the electrolytic cell changes. When the conductive block 132 abuts against the conductive busbar 210, the conductive busbar 210 of the electrolytic cell forms a short circuit, thereby cutting off the current in the electrolytic cell, so as to facilitate the operation and maintenance of the electrolytic cell by the staff. When the conductive block 132 separates from the conductive busbar 210, the short circuit state of the conductive busbar 210 is released, and the current of the electrolytic cell is realized, improving the accuracy of the short-circuit operation by the staff, reducing the risk of electric shock, and thus improving the safety performance.
[0040] Example 2
[0041] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides another electrolytic cell short-circuiting device 100, which includes a base 110, a support frame 120 and an adjusting member 130. The electrolytic cell short-circuiting device 100 is used to perform a short-circuiting operation on the electrolytic cell.
[0042] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, one side of the support frame 120 is connected to the base, and the support frame 120 defines an installation space 121. The conductive busbar 210 of the electrolytic cell is placed in the installation space 121. A first mounting hole 122 is provided on the side of the support frame 120 away from the base 110. The base 110 is located at the edge of the electrolytic cell and is used to fix the support frame 120 so that the conductive busbar 210 of the electrolytic cell can be placed in the installation space 121 of the support frame 120.
[0043] In this embodiment, the adjusting member 130 is disposed within the installation space 121. The adjusting member 130 passes through the first mounting hole 122 and is movably connected to the support frame 120. A conductive block 132 is disposed on the side of the adjusting member 130 away from the first mounting hole 122, so that the conductive block 132 abuts against or separates from the conductive busbar 210. Accordingly, the adjusting member 130 can move relative to the support frame 120 through the first mounting hole 122, thereby changing the relative position of the conductive block 132 of the adjusting member 130 and the conductive busbar 210 of the electrolytic cell. The conductive busbar 210 of the electrolytic cell is equipped with a busbar. When the conductive block 132 abuts against the conductive busbar 210, a short circuit is formed in the conductive busbar 210 of the electrolytic cell, thereby cutting off the current in the electrolytic cell, so as to facilitate the operation and maintenance of the electrolytic cell by the operator. When the conductive block 132 separates from the conductive busbar 210, the short circuit state of the conductive busbar 210 is released, enabling the current to run in the electrolytic cell, improving the accuracy of short-circuit operations by workers, and reducing the risk of electric shock.
[0044] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the conductive busbar 210 includes a first conductive busbar 211 and a second conductive busbar 212. The two ends of the conductive block 132 are respectively connected to the first conductive busbar 211 and the second conductive busbar 212. The first conductive busbar 211 and the second conductive busbar 212 correspond to the busbars of the electrolytic cell, so that the busbars of the electrolytic cell can be short-circuited, and personnel can perform partial shutdown or maintenance of the electrolytic cell.
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electrolytic cell shorting device 100 has a first direction X, a second direction Y, and a third direction Z, wherein the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are arranged perpendicularly to each other. For example, the first direction X is taken as the height direction of the electrolytic cell shorting device 100, the second direction Y is taken as the length direction of the electrolytic cell shorting device 100, and the third direction Z is taken as the width direction of the electrolytic cell shorting device 100.
[0046] In one embodiment, alternatively, referencing Figure 1As shown, the movement direction of the adjusting member 130 is the first direction X, that is, the adjusting member 130 moves along the height direction of the electrolytic cell short-circuiting device 100, so as to drive the conductive block 132 closer to or away from the conductive busbar 210 by the adjusting member 130 along the first direction X. For example, the first conductive busbar 211 and the second conductive busbar 212 are arranged side by side along the second direction Y, so that the adjusting member 130 can simultaneously abut against the first conductive busbar 211 and the second conductive busbar 212.
[0047] In one embodiment, optionally, combining Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the adjusting member 130 includes an adjusting rod 131 and a conductive block 132. The adjusting rod 131 is connected to the conductive block 132, and the adjusting rod 131 is threadedly connected to the wall of the first mounting hole 122. The side of the conductive block 132 facing away from the adjusting rod 131 abuts against or separates from the conductive busbar 210. The adjusting rod 131 moves relative to the first mounting hole 122, causing the conductive block 132 to move closer to or further away from the conductive busbar 210 of the electrolytic cell. For example, the adjusting rod 131 can be a threaded screw, which is threadedly connected to the wall of the first mounting hole 122.
[0048] For example, the conductive block 132 may be made of copper, aluminum, silver, iron alloy, or similar materials to give it good conductivity, allowing it to connect electrically with the busbar 210. The adjusting rod 131 may be made of a non-conductive or poorly conductive material to prevent the risk of electric shock when adjusting the rod, thus improving safety. Alternatively, the adjusting rod 131 and the conductive block 132 may be integrated into one unit.
[0049] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the conductive block 132 is provided with a second mounting hole 1321, and the adjusting rod 131 is detachably connected to the second mounting hole 1321, allowing the adjusting rod 131 to be assembled and disassembled through the second mounting hole 1321 and the conductive block 132. Further, as... Figure 3 As shown, the adjusting rod 131 is detachably connected to the conductive block 132 via a connector 133. The connector 133 is disposed in the second mounting hole 1321, and the adjusting rod 131 can be movably connected to the connector 133. For example, the connector 133 is a threaded component, and a threaded hole is provided at one end of the adjusting rod 131 near the second mounting hole 1321. The threaded hole of the adjusting rod 131 is threadedly connected to the threaded component to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the adjusting rod 131 and the conductive block 132.
[0050] In one embodiment, alternatively, referencing Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a rotating part 1311 is provided at the end of the adjusting rod 131 away from the conductive block 132. The rotating part 1311 is located outside the installation space 121. Accordingly, personnel can rotate the rotating part 1311 to adjust the relative position of the adjusting rod 131. The rotating part 1311, located outside the installation space 121, is isolated from the conductive block 132, reducing the risk of electric shock during personnel rotation. For example, when the rotating part 1311 is rotated clockwise, the conductive block 132 gradually moves closer to the conductive bar 210; when the rotating part 1311 is rotated counterclockwise, the conductive block 132 gradually moves away from the conductive bar 210.
[0051] Optionally, the rotating part 1311 has a rhomboid or square structure. The rotating part 1311 is used to connect the wrench 220. The operator can drive the rotating part 1311 to rotate through the wrench 220. The rhomboid or square structure of the rotating part 1311 is adapted to the shape and size of the wrench 220, which reduces the possibility of slippage when the wrench 220 rotates, and has a better technical effect.
[0052] In one embodiment, alternatively, referencing Figure 1 As shown, one side of the support frame 120 is movably connected to the base. When a short-circuit operation is required, the support frame 120 and the base are installed and fixed. After the short-circuit operation is completed, the support frame 120 can be removed from the base. The base is located at the edge of the electrolytic cell, thus reducing interference and obstruction to the normal operation of the electrolytic cell and providing better flexibility.
[0053] Furthermore, one side of the support frame 120 abuts against the base and is connected by bolts. Accordingly, the support frame 120 and the base can be installed and connected by fixing them with bolts after they come into contact.
[0054] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the base is located at the edge of the electrolytic cell. The support frame 120 includes a support section 123 and a suspended section 124. The support section 123 abuts against the base, and the suspended section 124 is connected to the support section 123. The suspended section 124 extends in the second direction Y. The support section 123 of the support frame 120 is used to abut against and contact the base to realize the connection between the support frame 120 and the base. The suspended section 124 of the support frame 120 is close to the edge of the electrolytic cell. The extension direction of the suspended section 124 is along the length direction of the electrolytic cell short-circuit device 100 so that the conductive busbar 210 of the electrolytic cell can be installed in the installation space 121 of the support frame 120.
[0055] In one embodiment, alternatively, referencing Figure 1As shown, the electrolytic cell short-circuiting device 100 also includes an insulating component 140, which is disposed between the support frame 120 and the conductive busbar 210. The insulating component 140 is used to isolate the conductive busbar 210 and the support frame 120, so as to prevent the conductive busbar 210 from conducting electrical energy through the support frame 120 and causing the risk of electric shock to personnel, thereby improving the safety performance of the electrolytic cell short-circuiting device 100.
[0056] In all examples shown and described herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations; therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.
[0057] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
