[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolysis, specifically to a quick replacement device for the cathode busbar of electrolytic aluminum. Background Technology

[0002] Electrolytic aluminum production is a common industrial process, and the cathode busbar is a crucial component of electrolytic aluminum equipment. Due to prolonged use or other factors, the cathode busbar may wear out or become damaged, requiring replacement. However, existing replacement methods typically involve disassembling surrounding components, which is complex, time-consuming, and severely impacts production efficiency. Therefore, developing a fast and accurate cathode busbar replacement device is of great significance. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a quick replacement device for the cathode busbar of electrolytic aluminum. The device has a simple structure, is convenient and quick to replace, and can ensure that the replaced cathode busbar has high coaxiality and straightness, thereby reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving work efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a quick replacement device for an electrolytic aluminum cathode busbar, comprising a first clamp, a cathode busbar, and a second clamp, wherein the first clamp and the second clamp have identical structures and are clamped at both ends of the cathode busbar.

[0005] The first clamp is provided with a base, a fixed plate is fixed on the surface of the base, and a movable plate is also provided on the base. The fixed plate has a fixed plate positioning groove, and the movable plate has a movable plate positioning groove on its surface. The fixed plate positioning groove and the movable plate positioning groove are combined to form a positioning groove, and a sponge pad is adhered inside the positioning groove.

[0006] The upper part of the through fixed plate is provided with a fixed plate upper limit hole, the upper part of the through movable plate is provided with a movable plate upper limit hole, and when the fixed plate upper limit hole and the movable plate upper limit hole are on the same plane, a through upper limit hole is formed. The lower part of the through fixed plate is provided with a fixed plate lower limit hole, the lower part of the through movable plate is provided with a movable plate lower limit hole, and when the fixed plate lower limit hole and the movable plate lower limit hole are on the same plane, a through lower limit hole is formed.

[0007] An upper limit bolt is installed inside the upper limit hole, and a lower limit bolt is installed inside the lower limit hole.

[0008] The structure of the second clamp is the same as that of the first clamp.

[0009] Furthermore, the base and the movable plate are connected by a positioning spring, which is located inside the mounting groove formed at the connection between the base and the movable plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the movable plate can move in a semi-circular motion around the positioning spring.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner diameters of the through upper limit hole and the through lower limit hole are equal, and both are provided with internal threads.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper limit bolt and the lower limit bolt have the same shape and the same length. Both the upper limit bolt and the lower limit bolt include a screw and a bolt head, and the screw surface is provided with external threads.

[0013] Furthermore, a retainer is installed at the bottom of the base.

[0014] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this application provides a quick replacement device for an electrolytic aluminum cathode busbar, including a first clamp, a cathode busbar, and a second clamp. The first and second clamps fix the cathode busbar. The operation is simple; when replacement is needed, the first and second clamps are opened, and a new busbar can be replaced. The first and second clamps have identical structures, which ensures coaxiality and straightness, guaranteeing the accuracy of the replaced cathode busbar. The first and second clamps clamp both ends of the cathode busbar. The first clamp is provided with a base, which is a fixed support for mounting various structures. A fixed plate is fixed to the surface of the base, and a movable plate is also provided on the base. The fixed plate has a fixed plate positioning groove, and the movable plate has a movable plate positioning groove. The fixed plate positioning groove and the movable plate positioning groove cooperate to form a positioning groove, which fixes the cathode busbar. A foam board is adhered inside the positioning groove. The foam pad serves two purposes: firstly, it reduces wear; secondly, the compacted foam pad provides greater friction with the cathode busbar surface, preventing slippage. The upper part of the fixed plate has an upper limit hole, and the upper part of the movable plate has an upper limit hole. When these two holes are on the same plane, they form a through upper limit hole. The lower part of the fixed plate and the movable plate has lower limit holes. When these two holes are on the same plane, they form a through lower limit hole. These holes secure the movable plate, ensuring a proper clamping effect. An upper limit bolt and a lower limit bolt are installed in the upper and lower limit holes, respectively. These bolts work together to secure the movable plate, thus clamping the cathode busbar. The structure of the second clamp is identical to that of the first clamp, ensuring clamping accuracy.

[0015] In summary, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0016] 1. It has a simple structure and is easy to operate, enabling quick and accurate replacement of the cathode busbar.

[0017] 2. The clamping device has high coaxiality and straightness, which can ensure the accuracy of the replaced cathode busbar.

[0018] 3. It reduced the labor intensity of workers, shortened the replacement time, and improved work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0024] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: first clamp 1, second clamp 2, cathode busbar 3, fixing plate 4, upper limit hole 401 of fixing plate, lower limit hole 402 of fixing plate, movable plate 5, upper limit hole 501 of movable plate, lower limit hole 502 of movable plate, positioning groove 6, positioning groove 601 of fixing plate, positioning groove 602 of movable plate, base 7, through upper limit hole 8, through lower limit hole 9, upper limit bolt 10, lower limit bolt 11, mounting groove 12, positioning spring 13, and sponge pad 14.

[0025] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown: A quick replacement device for an electrolytic aluminum cathode busbar includes a first clamp 1, a cathode busbar 3, and a second clamp 2. The first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2 fix the cathode busbar 3. The operation is simple. When replacement is needed, the first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2 can be opened and a new cathode busbar 3 can be replaced. The first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2 have the same structure, which can ensure coaxiality and straightness, and ensure the accuracy of the replaced cathode busbar 3. The first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2 are clamped at both ends of the cathode busbar 3.

[0026] The first clamp 1 is equipped with a base 7, which is a fixed support for mounting various structures. A fixing plate 4 is bolted to the surface of the base 7, and a movable plate 5 is also provided on the base 7. Figure 3As shown, the base 7 and the movable plate 5 are connected by a positioning spring 13. Both ends of the positioning spring 13 are glued and fixed to the base 7 and the movable plate 5, respectively. The positioning spring 13 is located inside the mounting groove 12 formed at the connection between the base 7 and the movable plate 5. The positioning spring 13 is a flexible spring that can be bent. The mounting groove 12 is actually a retractable corrugated hose, which protects the positioning spring 13. Both ends of the corrugated hose can be glued and fixed to ensure protection of the positioning spring 13. The movable plate 5 can move in a semi-circular motion around the positioning spring 13. The movable plate 5 is designed to facilitate the placement of the cathode busbar 3 into the holder, providing space for clamping the cathode busbar 3. Figure 2 As shown, the fixed plate 4 has a fixed plate positioning groove 601, and the movable plate 5 has a movable plate positioning groove 602. The fixed plate positioning groove 601 and the movable plate positioning groove 602 cooperate to form a positioning groove 6. The positioning groove 6 fixes the cathode busbar 3. A sponge pad 14 is adhered inside the positioning groove 6. The sponge pad 14 has two functions: first, to reduce the wear of the cathode busbar; second, the compacted sponge pad 14 has a large friction with the surface of the cathode busbar 3, thus preventing slippage.

[0027] The upper part of the fixed plate 4 is provided with a fixed plate upper limit hole 401, and the upper part of the movable plate 5 is provided with a movable plate upper limit hole 501.

The lower part of the fixed plate 4 is provided with a fixed plate lower limit hole 402, and the lower part of the movable plate 5 is provided with a movable plate lower limit hole 502. When the fixed plate lower limit hole 402 and the movable plate lower limit hole 502 are on the same plane, a through lower limit hole 9 is formed. The through upper limit hole 8 and the through lower limit hole 9 can fix the movable plate 5 to ensure the clamping effect.

[0028] The upper limit hole 8 and the lower limit hole 9 have the same inner diameter and are both internally threaded. An upper limit bolt 10 is installed in the upper limit hole 8, and a lower limit bolt 11 is installed in the lower limit hole 9. The upper limit bolt 10 and the lower limit bolt 11 have the same shape and the same length. Both the upper limit bolt 10 and the lower limit bolt 11 include a screw and a bolt head. The screw surface is provided with an external thread. The external thread of the bolt engages with the internal thread of the upper limit hole 8 and the lower limit hole 9. The upper limit bolt 10 and the lower limit bolt 11 work together to fix the movable plate 5 and complete the clamping of the cathode busbar 3.

[0029] The structure of the second clamp 2 is the same as that of the first clamp 1. The two clamps have the same structure to ensure clamping accuracy.

[0030] The base 7 has a retainer bolted to the bottom, which can be used to fix the base 7 to the electroplating equipment.
