Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolytic aluminum technology, and in particular to an electrode rod placement rack. Background Technology
[0002] Electrode rod holders are key equipment used in electrolytic aluminum production to support, fix, and adjust the position of electrode rods (such as anodes and cathodes). The design and performance of electrode rod holders directly affect the stability, current efficiency, and energy consumption of the electrolytic cell.
[0003] Traditional electrode rod placement racks only have a backing plate on top to contact and support the electrolytic aluminum electrode rods. However, there is no direct connection between the backing plate and the electrode rod. The backing plate can only support one side of the electrode rod and can only constrain the electrode rod in one direction. As a result, the electrode rod may tilt in other directions during actual operation, which will make it difficult for the electrode rod to work normally. Utility Model Content

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the clamping assembly 5 includes two clamping plates 51, which can be close to or far from each other. One clamping plate 51 is used to press against the second side of the electrode rod, and the other clamping plate 51 is used to press against the third side of the electrode rod, which is convenient for use.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the first ends of the two clamping plates 51 are both disposed on the abutment plate 4. The first ends of the two clamping plates 51 can slide along the abutment plate 4, which facilitates the smooth movement of the two clamping plates 51 when they approach or move away from each other. The first ends of the two clamping plates 51 can be locked with the abutment plate 4, which facilitates locking the two clamping plates 51 after they clamp the electrode rod, and prevents the two clamping plates 51 from becoming loose.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the retainer 3 includes a crossbeam and two mounting beams. The crossbeam is fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame 2. The first ends of the two mounting beams are fixedly mounted on the crossbeam. The two mounting beams are arranged in parallel and are perpendicular to the crossbeam.

The abutment plate 4 is parallel to the crossbeam. The clamping assembly 5 also includes two mounting plates 52 and two springs 58. The mounting plates 52, springs 58, clamping plates 51, and mounting beams correspond one-to-one. The mounting plates 52 and clamping plates 51 are detachably fixedly connected. One end of the spring 58 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 52, and the other end of the spring 58 is fixedly connected to the second end of the mounting beam. The spring 58 can press the clamping plate 51 against the second side or the third side of the electrode rod. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture and use.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a guide hole is provided on the first end of the mounting beam. The clamping assembly 5 also includes two round rods 53, which correspond one-to-one with the springs 58.

Contact: The extension of the electric telescopic rod 56 can drive the push block 55 to move away from the crossbeam. The movement of the push block 55 away from the crossbeam can cause the two clamping plates 51 to approach each other under the force of the two springs 58 until the supporting ramp and the limiting ramp 54 are completely separated. Then, the first ends of the two clamping plates 51 are blocked by the side of the push block 55 and can no longer approach each other. The retraction of the electric telescopic rod 56 can drive the push block 55 to move towards the crossbeam. The movement of the push block 55 towards the crossbeam can cause the two clamping plates 51 to move away from each other against the force of the two springs 58, which is convenient for use.
[0036] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the electrode rod placement rack provided by this utility model further includes a locking component 6.

The locking bolts 62 are threadedly connected to the threaded holes 61 of the clamping plates 51. One end of the locking bolts 62 can be pressed and locked onto the rubber strip 63, which can effectively lock the clamping plates 51 after they clamp the electrode rod, preventing the clamping plates 51 from loosening when limiting the electrode rod.
[0037] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the clamping assembly 5 further includes two rubber plates 57, which correspond one-to-one with the clamping plate 51. The rubber plates 57 are fixedly disposed on the side of the clamping plate 51 near the electrode rod.

At the same time, the rubber plates 57 can also effectively protect the electrode rod. The end of the rubber plate 57 away from the abutment plate 4 has a guide ramp. The guide ramps on the two rubber plates 57 gradually approach each other in the direction near the abutment plate 4, which facilitates the electrode rod entering between the two rubber plates 57.
[0038] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the electrode rod placement rack provided by this utility model also includes a base 1. The bottom end of the support frame 2 is fixedly mounted on the base 1. The bottom end of the base 1 is provided with several casters. The casters can rotate and also have a self-locking structure to facilitate the overall movement of the device. It should be noted that existing caster products with self-locking function can be used.
[0039] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the fixed connection between the base 1, support frame 2, retainer 3 and abutment 4 is achieved by welding, which is convenient to manufacture and the connection is stable.
[0040] A specific implementation method of the electrode rod placement frame provided by this utility model: Push the electrode rod placement frame so that the electrode rod enters between the two clamping plates 51, and so that the first side of the electrode rod abuts against one side of the abutment plate 4 to position the electrode rod placement frame. Lock the universal wheels using their self-locking structure. Activate the electric telescopic rod 56, which pushes the push block 55. When the push block 55 is pushed, the support ramp on the push block 55 gradually separates from the limiting ramp 54, and the two clamping plates 51... Under the force of the two springs 58, they move closer to each other until the rubber plates 57 on the two clamping plates 51 abut against the second side and the third side of the electrode rod, respectively. Then, the two clamping plates 51 can limit the second side and the third side of the electrode rod. Then, the locking bolt 62 is rotated so that one end of the locking bolt 62 abuts against the rubber strip 63 on the abutment plate 4. This can provide auxiliary fixation between the clamping plate 51 and the abutment plate 4, which helps to prevent the clamping plate 51 from loosening when limiting the electrode rod.
[0041] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
