[0002] An electrolytic cell is a device used to realize the electrolysis process. It promotes the decomposition of electrolytes by reduction and oxidation reactions at the anode and cathode. An electrolytic cell mainly consists of electrodes, electrolyte, and cell body. Common electrode materials include graphite and metals. Electrolytes are mostly aqueous solutions, molten salts, or solid electrolytes. Electrolytic cells can be divided into aqueous solution electrolytic cells, molten salt electrolytic cells, and solid electrolyte electrolytic cells. In the chemical industry, electrolysis of brine can produce caustic soda, chlorine, and hydrogen. In the metallurgical industry, metallic aluminum can be produced by electrolyzing molten alumina. In addition, it also plays an important role in battery manufacturing, wastewater treatment, and other fields.

[0003] In the prior art, when repairing and installing large-volume electrolytic cells, it is necessary to manually flip them into the inner cavity of the electrolytic cell to perform welding operations, which is prone to safety accidents. Manual operation is time-consuming, affecting the welding and installation efficiency of the electrolytic cell, and the accuracy is low, which is not conducive to improving the yield of electrolytic cells. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model proposes an electrolytic cell repair and installation tool. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, two hydraulic rods are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the two support frames. The hydraulic rods are symmetrically distributed front and back.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] 1. By sliding the electromagnetic slider on the track, the lower mechanism is moved to the area above the electrolytic cell welding installation point. The electric push rod is activated to lower the lifting plate.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-4An electrolytic cell repair and installation tool includes a moving rod 1, a slide rail 2 with opposite magnetic poles arranged sequentially in the slide rail 2, an electromagnetic slider 3 movably connected to the slide rail 2, an electric push rod 4 fixedly mounted at the bottom of the electromagnetic slider 3, a lifting plate 5 fixedly mounted at the telescopic end of the electric push rod 4, a servo motor 6 fixedly mounted at the bottom of the lifting plate 5, a welding arm 7 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 6 via a coupling, a welding nozzle 8 fixedly mounted at the end of the welding arm 7 away from the servo motor 6, and a fixed frame 9 outside the moving rod 1. The inner cavity of the fixed frame 9 has two sections with sliding grooves 10. When the moving rod 1 moves to a suitable position, the electromagnetic slider 3 is energized. Because the magnets with opposite magnetic poles are arranged sequentially in the slide rail 2, the energization of the electromagnetic slider 3 generates a magnetic force that repels the magnets in the slide rail 2, thereby pushing the electromagnetic slider 3 to move. When the electromagnetic slider 3 moves to the next section of the slide rail 2 with opposite magnetic poles, the electromagnetic slider 3... Reverse energization maintains a repulsive magnetic force between the electromagnetic slider 3 and the track 2, enabling continuous movement of the electromagnetic slider 3. When the electromagnetic slider 3 needs to stop, the direction of the current on the electromagnetic slider 3 is not changed, causing it to attract the magnets laid on the track 2, thus fixing the electromagnetic slider 3. The sliding of the electromagnetic slider 3 on the track 2 moves the mechanism below it to the upper part of the electrolytic cell welding installation area. The electric push rod 4 is activated, causing its extension end to drive the lifting plate 5 to descend. Then, the servo motor 6 drives the welding arm 7 to rotate, thereby adjusting the welding angle of the welding nozzle 8, enhancing the flexibility of the welding mechanism, and realizing welding maintenance and installation inside the electrolytic cell. When facing a large-volume electrolytic cell, there is no need for manual entry into the inner cavity of the electrolytic cell for welding, reducing the occurrence of personnel safety accidents and improving the welding and installation efficiency of the electrolytic cell. At the same time, the electromagnetic movement can be adjusted with high precision to meet the high precision requirements of electrolytic cell maintenance and installation, ensuring the yield rate of the electrolytic cell.

[0019] A servo motor 11 is fixedly mounted on the front of the fixed frame 9. A threaded rod 12 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 11 via a coupling. The threaded rod 12 is movably sleeved in the inner cavity of the left slide groove 10. A slide rod 13 is fixedly sleeved in the inner cavity of the right slide groove 10. The left and right ends of the moving rod 1 are movably sleeved with the threaded rod 12 and the slide rod 13, respectively. When the servo motor 11 is turned on, the threaded rod 12 rotates. The moving rod 1 slides in the slide groove 10 by utilizing the movable sleeves between the moving rod 1 and the threaded rod 12 and the slide rod 13. A support frame 14 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the fixed frame 9. A base 15 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the support frame 14. Three casters 16 are evenly fixedly mounted on the bottom of the base 15. Two hydraulic rods 17 are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the two support frames 14. There are two hydraulic rods 17, which are symmetrically distributed front and back. A support plate 18 is fixedly installed between the telescopic ends of the two hydraulic rods 17. The electrolytic cell is positioned between the two bases 15 on the left and right sides by means of casters 16, which facilitates flexible movement of the device, prevents a lot of time spent on moving the device, and improves the efficiency of the device movement. When the hydraulic rods 17 are opened, their telescopic ends drive the support plate 18 to descend. The support plate 18 contacts the ground to provide support, increases the contact area of ​​the device with the ground, prevents the device from shifting, and helps to enhance the stability of the device during operation. Moreover, the support mechanism has a simple structure, is easy to maintain, effectively reduces maintenance costs, and has good economic benefits.

[0020] Working principle: The electrolytic cell is positioned between the two bases 15 by moving the universal wheel 16. The hydraulic rod 17 is activated, causing its telescopic end to lower the support plate 18, which then contacts the ground for support. The servo motor 11 is activated, driving the threaded rod 12 to rotate. The movable rod 1 slides in the slide groove 10 via the movable connection between the moving rod 1, the threaded rod 12, and the sliding rod 13. When the moving rod 1 reaches the appropriate position, the electromagnetic slider 3 is energized. Since magnets with opposite poles are sequentially laid in the track 2, energizing the electromagnetic slider 3 generates a repulsive magnetic force against the magnets in the track 2, thus pushing the electromagnetic slider 3 to move. As the electromagnetic slider 3 moves to the lower position... When the electromagnetic slider 3 is at track 2 with opposite magnetic poles, reverse current is applied to the electromagnetic slider 3, so that the electromagnetic slider 3 and track 2 maintain a repulsive magnetic force, thus enabling the electromagnetic slider 3 to move continuously. When the electromagnetic slider 3 needs to stop, the direction of the current on the electromagnetic slider 3 is not changed, so that it attracts the magnets laid on track 2, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the electromagnetic slider 3. By sliding the electromagnetic slider 3 on track 2, the mechanism below it is moved to the upper part of the electrolytic cell welding installation position. The electric push rod 4 is activated so that its extension end drives the lifting plate 5 to descend. Then, the servo motor 6 drives the welding arm 7 to rotate, thereby adjusting the welding angle of the welding nozzle 8, realizing the welding maintenance and installation inside the electrolytic cell.
