Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum electrolysis cell technology, specifically a foot pedal safety device for aluminum electrolysis cells. Background Technology

[0002] Electrolysis workshop operations such as electrode replacement, electrode sealing, cell maintenance, and handling of the discharge point all require manual assistance. During these operations, workers need to wear protective shoes and step on the alumina covering material above the electrolyte crust. If the alumina covering material is thick, high-temperature alumina can easily enter the shoes and cause burns. If the electrolyte crust is thin, the electrolyte crust can easily collapse, causing burns from the electrolyte. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a safety device for foot pedals in aluminum electrolysis cells, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that workers in electrolysis workshops are easily burned when stepping on alumina covering material.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a safety device for a foot pedal in an aluminum electrolysis cell, including a V-shaped foot pedal. The foot pedal includes a frame located at the edge and multiple crossbars fixedly connected inside the frame. The bottom end of the foot pedal is provided with a plug for inserting alumina covering material.

[0005] Furthermore, the top of the frame is higher than the top of the crossbar.

[0006] Furthermore, a lug is fixedly connected to the top front end of the frame, one end of a fall arrest rope is fixedly connected to the lug, and the other end of the fall arrest rope is fixedly connected to a self-locking safety hook.

[0007] This invention features a foot pedal that serves as a support point for the foot, preventing the foot from directly stepping on the alumina covering material and reducing the risk of burns. A insert rod embedded in the alumina covering material provides stable support, preventing the foot pedal from sinking into it. Furthermore, the top of the frame is higher than the top of the crossbar, allowing the frame to prevent the foot from slipping off the foot pedal when it slips.

[0008] This invention, by incorporating a fall arrest rope and a self-locking safety hook, can provide traction to the foot pedal. Even if the electrolyte crust collapses, the foot pedal can still support the foot, preventing it from sinking down and being burned by the electrolyte. Attached Figure Description

[0009] The accompanying drawings, which form part of this application, are used to provide a further understanding of the present invention. The illustrative embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention and do not constitute an improper limitation of the present invention.

[0014] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0015] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a safety device for a foot pedal of an aluminum electrolytic cell is provided, including a V-shaped foot pedal 1. The foot pedal 1 includes a plate frame 101 located at the edge and a plurality of crossbars 102 fixedly connected inside the plate frame 101. The bottom end of the foot pedal 1 is provided with an insertion rod 103 for inserting alumina covering material.

[0016] The top of the plate frame 101 is higher than the top of the crossbar 102; the plate frame 101 can block the foot when it slips, preventing the foot from slipping off the foot pedal 1.

[0017] When in use, the front end of the foot pedal 1 is supported on the alumina covering material 5, and the other end is supported on the ground outside the electrolytic cell. Operators step on the foot pedal 1 to perform various operations on the electrolytic cell, avoiding direct footsteps on the alumina covering material 5 and reducing the risk of burns. By setting the insertion rod 103, the insertion rod 103 is embedded in the alumina covering material 5 to provide stable support and prevent the foot pedal from sinking into the alumina covering material 5.

[0018] In some embodiments, two lugs 2 are fixedly connected to the top front end of the frame 101, one end of the anti-fall rope 3 is fixedly connected to the lugs 2, and the other end of the anti-fall rope 3 is fixedly connected to a self-locking safety hook 4.

[0019] The fall arrestor rope 3 has a self-locking safety hook 4 at one end that can be wrapped around and locked to the upper structure of the electrolytic cell, and can provide traction for the foot pedal 1. Even if the electrolyte crust 6 collapses, the foot pedal 1 can still support the feet and prevent the feet from sinking down and being burned by the electrolyte.

[0020] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
