Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolytic aluminum technology, specifically to an anti-flying feeding device for alumina in an electrolytic cell. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, during the process of adding alumina powder to the upper alumina silo of the electrolytic cell in an aluminum electrolytic plant using a constant-volume feeder, the alumina powder discharged from the silo is relatively dispersed due to the sloping flat bottom plate of the powder silo being relatively high above the flame opening on the shell surface. During its descent, firstly, some alumina powder is drawn away by the negative pressure of the flue gas purification system; secondly, the hot air discharged from the flame opening reaches temperatures exceeding 900 degrees Celsius, with high pressure and high flow rate, causing the alumina powder to be back-blown and dispersed when it falls above the flame opening, preventing it from entering the flame opening. This results in significant alumina powder being scattered above the flame opening, and a portion of the alumina powder cannot be effectively added into the molten pool of the electrolytic cell.
[0003] The aforementioned problems result in low alumina conveying and feeding efficiency in the purification system, increasing the additional costs of electrolytic aluminum production. Furthermore, since the actual amount of material added to the molten pool of the electrolytic cell is less than the theoretical amount each time, the actual yield is low, affecting the control of alumina concentration in the electrolytic cell, easily causing the anode effect, increasing the instability of the electrolytic cell operation, and increasing the energy consumption per ton of aluminum. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] Design a device for preventing alumina from flying away during electrolytic cell feeding. The device is installed at the bottom of the feeding pipe of the electrolytic cell and includes an installation part and a feeding part. The feeding part is located at the bottom of the installation part. The installation part is a cylindrical structure that matches the feeding pipe of the electrolytic cell. The inner side of the installation part is provided with an installation opening. The upper part of the installation part is provided with an installation ring.

[0007] Furthermore, the front side of the mounting part and the unloading part is provided with a strip-shaped opening, which extends to the bottom end of the unloading part.
[0008] Furthermore, the installation part is provided with a feeding guide plate, which is located on both sides above the feeding nozzle and tilted downwards.
[0009] Furthermore, the electrolytic cell feed pipe has a tapered structure, and its front surface is provided with a discharge opening, with the feed guide plate located inside the discharge opening.
[0010] Furthermore, the lower two sides of the mounting part are provided with lower fixing screw holes, and the upper fixing screw holes and lower fixing screw holes are used to fix the mounting part to the electrolytic cell feed pipe by screws.
[0011] Furthermore, horizontal mounting tubes are provided on both sides of the top of the mounting part for lifting the feeding device for installation.
[0012] Furthermore, the mounting part and the unloading part are made of stainless steel and are integrally formed.
