Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrolytic aluminum technology, specifically relating to a cleaning device for the anode busbar of an electrolytic crane. Background Technology
[0002] Electrolytic aluminum is pure metallic aluminum extracted from alumina through electrolysis, based on the cryolite-alumina molten salt electrolysis process. This process requires a high temperature of 950-970℃, utilizing a direct current electrochemical reaction between a carbon anode and an aluminum molten cathode to achieve the deposition of metallic aluminum. The anode busbar of the electrolytic trolley is a key conductive component in aluminum electrolysis production. It is used in conjunction with the multi-functional aluminum electrolysis trolley (referred to as the "electrolytic trolley"), primarily for clamping, positioning, and raising / lowering the anode guide rod assembly of the electrolytic cell.
[0003] After a certain period of use, the anode busbar needs to be cleaned. For example, a grinding device for horizontal busbars and anode guide rods in aluminum electrolysis production equipment, disclosed in CN211142194U, upgrades the original angle grinder method for grinding busbars. This method can perform targeted grinding of the busbar, which can protect operators and improve grinding efficiency.
[0004] However, this cleaning method requires the busbar to be worn down, and each cleaning reduces the size of the busbar. Therefore, it cannot be cleaned frequently, especially when the busbar has only undergone minor deformation and has accumulated a large amount of organic contaminants on its surface. Existing cleaning methods use alkaline solutions to remove organic contaminants, followed by rinsing with water to achieve the cleaning purpose. This method consumes a lot of alkaline solutions, thus resulting in high costs. Utility Model Content

[0018] As a preferred embodiment, the alkaline cleaning structure further includes: an alkaline solution transport pipe 5, a solution electrically controlled valve 6, a solution bidirectional pump 7, and a solution container 8; one end of the alkaline solution transport pipe 5 is installed on the lower wall of the cleaning box 1, the solution container 8 is installed on the upper wall of the other end of the alkaline solution transport pipe 5, the solution electrically controlled valve 6 is installed outside the alkaline solution transport pipe 5, and the solution bidirectional pump 7 is installed outside the alkaline solution transport pipe 5.
[0019] As a preferred embodiment, the spray structure further includes: two spray supports 9, a spray pipe 10, a number of spray nozzles 11, and a water inlet pipe 12; the two spray supports 9 are respectively installed on the upper wall of the cleaning box 1, the spray pipe 10 is installed inside the two spray supports 9, the number of spray nozzles 11 are respectively installed on the outer wall of the spray pipe 10, and one end of the water inlet pipe 12 is connected to the spray pipe 10.
[0020] As a preferred embodiment, the drainage structure further includes a drainage pipe 13 and a drainage electrically controlled valve 14; one end of the drainage pipe 13 is installed on the lower wall of the cleaning box 1, and the drainage electrically controlled valve 14 is installed on the outside of the drainage pipe 13.
[0021] Working principle:
[0022] I. Preparatory Work Before Use: The operator needs to connect an external AC power source to this utility model to provide energy for the electrical appliances within it, and install the controller within the utility model to provide control and operating logic for the electrical appliances. The operator connects an external water source to this utility model through the water inlet pipe 12 to provide clean water for cleaning, and connects the drain pipe 13 to the wastewater container for storing the wastewater after cleaning. Finally, the operator pours the prepared 10% sodium hydroxide solution into the solution container 8, thus completing the pre-work preparation.
[0023] II. Busbar Installation and Cleaning Procedure: The operator installs the busbar to be cleaned between the active support 2 and the driven support 4, and secures it with bolts. Next, the operator starts the system. First, the solution control valve 6 opens, and the solution bidirectional pump 7 starts working, allowing the sodium hydroxide solution to flow through the alkaline solution transport pipe 5 from the solution container 8 into the cleaning tank 1. Once the solution is discharged, the solution control valve 6 and the solution bidirectional pump 7 close. The busbar is immersed in the sodium hydroxide solution, and the organic contaminants on the outside of the busbar are slowly cleaned away. To accelerate the cleaning process, the active motor 3 oscillates, rotating reciprocally within a 120-degree range, causing the active support 2 and the driven support 4 to oscillate. The busbar installed within these components oscillates within the solution, thereby accelerating the cleaning efficiency of the organic contaminants. After 30 minutes of immersion, the solution control valve 6 and the solution bidirectional pump 7 open, and the solution bidirectional pump 7 reverses its operation, allowing the sodium hydroxide solution to flow through the alkaline solution transport pipe 5 from the cleaning tank 1 into the solution container 8. The filter screen 15 removes solid contaminants that have been washed away. Then, the water supply is turned on, and the water enters the spray pipe 10 through the inlet pipe 12. Finally, it is sprayed through several spray nozzles 11 onto the inside of the cleaning box 1 to clean the busbars fixed inside. At this time, the drive motor 3 starts to rotate continuously, completing the thorough cleaning of the busbars. Simultaneously, the drain valve 14 opens, and the wastewater after cleaning is discharged through the drain pipe 13.
[0024] III. Post-Use Maintenance: After a period of use, operators need to perform certain maintenance. First, the operator should remove filter screen 15 and clean it. Then, the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution should be tested. If the concentration is too low, it will affect the cleaning effect. Therefore, a certain amount of sodium hydroxide should be added to ensure the cleaning effect.
