Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal smelting technology, and in particular to an installation mechanism for a fault monitoring electrode plate and a positioning system. Background Technology

[0002] Copper smelting is one of the most important raw material industries in China. Electrolysis is the final and crucial process in copper smelting, and ensuring its safe and efficient operation is of paramount importance. In metal smelting, the electrolytic cell is a vital piece of equipment used to extract metals through electrochemical reactions. However, during operation, localized short circuits or open circuits can sometimes occur during the accumulation of copper at the cathode. The Faulty Electrode Monitoring and Location System is an intelligent fault detection system for electrolytic cell electrodes developed specifically for the non-ferrous metal smelting industry, enabling real-time monitoring and fault location of the electrolytic cell electrodes.

[0003] In existing systems for monitoring and locating faulty electrodes, the detection of short-circuited electrodes in copper electrolysis production is done using methods such as water spraying or dragging a meter. Furthermore, there is no systematic assessment of the work content and work enthusiasm of production workshop employees. These methods require manual operation and are time-consuming, especially in large electrolysis workshops where tens of thousands of electrodes need to be inspected individually, resulting in low detection efficiency. Moreover, the electrolysis workshop environment is complex, with hazardous factors such as strong corrosion, strong magnetic fields, and high currents. Water spraying or dragging a meter may expose employees to these hazards, increasing safety risks. Additionally, the use of non-contact infrared online high-speed temperature measurement technology results in an excessive number of infrared temperature probes and an unreasonable layout.

[0004] To address the issues of time-consuming and inefficient methods such as water spraying or dragging meters for short-circuit electrode detection, six infrared temperature probes were installed. This meets the current workshop's requirements for monitoring faulty electrodes in the electrolytic cells. Automated detection replaces manual inspection, effectively promoting the automation, intelligence, and green development of the electrolytic plant. The six infrared temperature probes reduce the number of hardware devices compared to multiple probes, thus lowering hardware procurement and installation costs. Furthermore, through proper layout and installation, these infrared temperature probes can accurately capture temperature changes in the electrolytic cell plates in real time, promptly identifying and locating faulty electrodes, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection.

[0005] However, since infrared temperature probes are exposed to the air, their surfaces may become contaminated with dust, leading to inaccurate temperature measurements. Dust covering the probe's surface can block or scatter some infrared radiation, reducing the infrared energy received by the probe. This can cause deviations in the temperature measurement results, increasing the error and affecting the accurate identification of faulty electrodes in the electrolytic cell. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an installation mechanism for monitoring faulty electrode plates and positioning systems. This mechanism solves the problem of long detection times and low efficiency caused by using water spraying or dragging a meter to detect short-circuited electrodes.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] An installation mechanism for a fault monitoring and positioning system for electrolytic cells includes a top plate. Six infrared temperature probes are fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate. Two sliding grooves are symmetrically located at the top center of each infrared temperature probe. The imaging temperature data from the infrared temperature probes is transmitted via optical fiber. This fiber optic transmission is used for analysis and processing by a management platform server. The infrared temperature probes enhance the accuracy of fault detection in electrolytic cell electrode plates. By replacing manual monitoring with automated monitoring, the automation, intelligence, and green development of electrolytic plants can be effectively promoted.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a sliding block 2 is slidably connected inside each of the sliding grooves 1 and 2. A bonding plate is fixedly connected to the top of each sliding block 2, and a sliding groove 2 is formed above each bonding plate. The sliding block 1 is slidably connected inside each sliding groove 2. This allows for the limiting of the trapezoidal block.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, a trapezoidal block is fixedly connected to the middle of the two sliding blocks, and a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the top of the trapezoidal block. A telescopic motor is provided at the top of the telescopic rod, and the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic motor. This allows the trapezoidal block to move up and down.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, two connecting rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to the sides of the two bonding plates that are far apart from each other. Each connecting rod is fixedly connected to a series rod on the side of the connecting rod that is far away from the bonding plate. Three connecting rods are fixedly connected to the bottom end of each series rod. This allows for the cleaning effect on the lens of the infrared temperature measuring probe.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, a triangular wiping block I, a square wiping block, and a triangular wiping block II are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the six connecting rods II that are close to each other. Two of each of the three types of wiping blocks are provided, and two of each type are fixedly connected to the corresponding horizontal connecting rod II. This allows for simultaneous cleaning of the surfaces of six infrared temperature probe bodies.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. By using six infrared temperature probes, monitoring is replaced by manual water spraying. These six probes comprehensively cover the critical areas of the electrolytic cell, ensuring accurate monitoring of faulty electrodes. Through proper layout and installation, these probes can accurately capture temperature changes on the electrolytic cell plates in real time, promptly identifying and locating faulty electrodes, thus improving detection accuracy and reliability. Compared to manual inspection, six probes enable automated detection, significantly improving efficiency. These probes continuously monitor the electrolytic cell without human intervention, reducing time and labor costs associated with manual inspection. Automated detection also avoids errors and missed detections caused by human factors, improving accuracy and completeness. Six probes reduce the number of hardware devices compared to multiple probes, lowering procurement and installation costs. This saves initial investment for electrolytic plants, improving cost-effectiveness. Fewer probes also mean less maintenance and lower costs. Meanwhile, as the number of infrared temperature probes is reduced, the failure rate may also decrease accordingly, further reducing the cost of repairing and replacing probes.

[0015] 2. The system utilizes a telescopic motor, trapezoidal blocks, a bonding plate, and three triangular wiping blocks (one, one square, and one triangular wiping block). The telescopic motor's activation moves the trapezoidal blocks downwards, causing the bonding plate to move away from the trapezoidal blocks. This movement then moves the three triangular wiping blocks (one, one square, and one triangular wiping block) towards the lens of the infrared temperature sensor. The reciprocating motion of the trapezoidal blocks effectively wipes the lens of the infrared temperature sensor. The lens is a crucial component for sensing external temperature, and its cleanliness directly affects the accuracy of temperature measurement. During the monitoring of faulty plates and the positioning system, the lens easily accumulates dust, oil, and other contaminants due to the complex environment. These contaminants can block or scatter infrared radiation, leading to errors in temperature measurement results. Therefore, regularly cleaning the lens with triangular wiping blocks (one, one square, and one triangular wiping block) removes these contaminants, maintains lens cleanliness, and improves the accuracy of temperature measurement. Furthermore, by controlling the three triangular wiping blocks (one, two, and three square) to wipe the lens, it is possible to ensure that the lens is always kept clean, thereby improving monitoring efficiency and ensuring the stable operation of the system.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0025] As shown in the figure, an installation mechanism for a fault monitoring plate and positioning system includes a top plate 101, an infrared temperature probe body 102, a telescopic motor 201, a trapezoidal block 203, an adhesive plate 205, a triangular wiping block 1 211, a square wiping block 212, and a triangular wiping block 213.

[0026] In the process of monitoring faulty plates and locating the system, six infrared temperature probe bodies 102 are first installed at the top plate 101 of the entire monitoring room, thereby reducing the time workers spend working on the tank surface and avoiding heatstroke in the summer. This also provides core support for the construction of intelligent electrolysis workshops. The sensor module boasts advanced technology and mature, stable applications across various industries. It improves current efficiency and increases copper production. Inter-electrode short circuits cause some electrical energy to be consumed due to heat, thus reducing the actual output of cathode copper. Currently, electrolysis operation teams of 4 people per shift perform short circuit detection and handling, with each detection and handling session taking 3-4 hours and 3 times per shift. After the application of the automatic short circuit detection system, full-area automatic inspection can be achieved, saving 1.5-2 hours of manual inspection time per session, increasing the short circuit handling frequency by 3 times per shift, improving current efficiency by 0.2%, increasing cathode copper production by 500 tons annually, and improving economic benefits by approximately 250,000 yuan per year. This also improves overall labor efficiency, reducing the number of workers by four. Based on a salary of 100,000 yuan per person per year, this translates to an estimated savings of 400,000 yuan per year. Furthermore, using six infrared temperature probes (102 units) compared to the existing system with ten probes (each probe unit costs approximately 50,000 yuan), eliminates the need for four infrared imaging thermometers, resulting in a total saving of 200,000 yuan. Automated monitoring replacing manual operation effectively promotes the automation, intelligence, and green development of electrolysis plants, laying the foundation for further expansion in factory intelligence and further saving manpower and improving production efficiency.

[0027] When an observer detects an obvious abnormality through the infrared temperature probe body 102, but the faulty electrode plate is found to be defective after being removed for monitoring, it may be due to dust accumulation on the surface of the infrared temperature probe body 102 causing inaccurate measurement. At this time, the telescopic motor 201 is activated, thereby driving the telescopic rod 202 to reciprocate. Since the trapezoidal block 203 is fixed at the bottom of the telescopic rod 202, and the sliding block 204 fixedly connected to the side of the trapezoidal block 203 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 206 opened in the bonding plate 205. Furthermore, the tilt angle of the bonding plate 205 is completely aligned with that of the trapezoidal block 203. At this time, the downward movement of the trapezoidal block 203 will drive the movement of the bonding plate 205. Since the sliding block 207 fixed at the bottom of the bonding plate 205 is slidably fixed inside the sliding groove 103, the up-and-down movement of the trapezoidal block 203 will drive the bonding plate 205 to reciprocate along the center of the trapezoidal block 203. Because the triangular wiping block 211, the square wiping block 212, and the triangular wiping block 213 are connected by the connecting rod 210 and... The connecting rod 209 is connected to the connecting rod 208 fixed to the bonding plate 205. Therefore, the activation of the telescopic motor 201 will drive the triangular wiping block 211, the square wiping block 212, and the triangular wiping block 213 to reciprocate on the surface of the infrared temperature probe body 102 lens. This achieves the effect of wiping the surface of the infrared temperature probe body 102. The lens of the infrared temperature probe body 102 is a key component for sensing external temperature, and the cleanliness of the lens directly affects the accuracy of temperature measurement. During the monitoring of faulty plates and the positioning system, regularly cleaning the lens with the triangular wiping block 211, the square wiping block 212, and the triangular wiping block 213 can remove contaminants, maintain the cleanliness of the lens, and thus improve the accuracy of temperature measurement.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
