The side-mounted suction device includes an openable side-mounted suction hood and a telescopic sleeve. The openable side-mounted suction hood can move axially in the horizontal direction by extending and retracting the telescopic sleeve. The openable side-mounted suction hood includes a left half and a right half, which are respectively connected to the same end of the telescopic sleeve through a rotating mechanism to open or close the hood. When the hood is closed, its side wall has an exhaust gas outlet communicating with the telescopic sleeve. The other end of the telescopic sleeve is connected to the exhaust channel. The top-mounted suction device is equipped with a top-mounted suction hood and a pipe assembly. The top-mounted suction hood is connected to the telescopic sleeve or the exhaust channel through the pipe assembly.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned exhaust gas collection device has the following drawbacks: the top suction hood of the exhaust gas collection device is composed of a left half and a right half. When the cathode is removed and replaced, it will cause interference to the top suction hood. It is necessary to manually open the left half and the right half relative to each other in order to safely remove the cathode from the smelting furnace. However, the left half and the right half are heavy, and the temperature of the left half and the right half is high after the equipment has just finished running. At this time, it is difficult to manually open the left half and the right half, and it is easy to cause burns. It needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0035] The basic working principle of this utility model is as follows: a swing arm 22 is connected to one end of the cover 21, and a rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the swing arm 22 away from the cover 21. A bushing 14 is set on the base body 1 corresponding to the rotating shaft 3. The rotating shaft 3 is rotatably set in the bushing 14. A gear 6 is coaxially fixed on the power input end 31 of the rotating shaft 3. A cylinder 4 is set on the base body 1. A rack 5 is connected to the piston rod end of the cylinder 4. The rack 5 meshes with the gear 6 to realize transmission. The piston rod of the cylinder 4 extends and retracts, driving the rotating shaft 3 to rotate forward or backward through the transmission structure. The rotating shaft 3 drives the swing arm 22 to move in the direction of opening or closing the cover 21. At the same time, the opening angle of the cover 21 can be precisely controlled by controlling the extension and retraction distance of the piston rod of the cylinder 4. This avoids the situation of easy burns caused by manual opening and closing, and saves labor costs. It has the effects of realizing pneumatic opening of the cover assembly, reducing labor costs and improving safety in use.
