Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum electrolysis, and in particular to a device for measuring the anode distance in aluminum electrolysis. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of electrolytic aluminum, electrolyte is added above the cathode carbon block and the anode carbon block is immersed in the electrolyte. The anode carbon block and the cathode carbon block are not in direct contact. The distance between the anode carbon block and the cathode carbon block is called the electrode distance. During the electrolysis process, the anode carbon block is continuously consumed and needs to be lowered continuously.

[0003] The prior art can be referenced to Chinese authorized utility model patent with publication number CN222438741U, which is specifically an electrolytic cell electrode distance measuring tool, including a measuring ruler disposed between the cathode carbon block and the anode carbon block. The measuring ruler includes a support plate and a connecting plate slidably connected to the support plate. The connecting plate is provided with a measuring plate for measuring the distance between the cathode carbon block and the anode carbon block. One end of the support plate is provided with a stop block parallel to the cathode carbon block. The connecting plate can slide along the direction of the support plate and collide with the stop block, so that the connecting plate rotates to a parallel position.

[0004] The aforementioned prior art has the following shortcomings in actual implementation: the prior art uses a spring to move the measuring plate for measurement, but during use, the spring causes the measuring plate to shake repeatedly, making the measurement unstable. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes an aluminum electrolysis anode distance measuring device to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an aluminum electrolysis anode distance measuring device comprising: a housing assembly, wherein the housing assembly is arranged on the inner inclined surface of the electrolytic cell;

[0007] A measuring component, the measuring component being hinged to one end of the housing assembly;

[0008] An adjustment component, wherein the adjustment component is disposed inside the housing assembly;

[0009] The measuring assembly includes a measuring plate and a hinged slider slidably arranged at the bottom of the measuring plate; the lower end of the measuring plate is hinged to the lower end of the housing assembly.

[0010] The adjustment assembly includes a slider that is slidably arranged inside the housing assembly;

[0011] The housing assembly includes a connecting rod, one end of which is hinged to the slider and the other end of which is hinged to the hinged slider.

[0012] Furthermore, the housing assembly also includes:

[0013] Connecting plate;

[0014] Protective box; the protective box is disposed at one end of the connecting plate;

[0015] A hinged base is provided at the other end of the protective box, and one end of the measuring plate is hinged to the hinged base;

[0016] The slider is slidably disposed inside the connecting plate;

[0017] The connecting plate has a first scale on one side.

[0018] Furthermore, a second groove is provided at the bottom of the measuring plate, and the hinged slider is slidably disposed inside the second groove.

[0019] Furthermore, a second scale is provided on one side of the measuring plate.

[0020] Furthermore, the adjusting assembly also includes a lead screw rotatably disposed inside the connecting plate, and the connecting plate has a first sliding groove inside, with the lead screw rotatably disposed within the first sliding groove;

[0021] The slider is connected to the lead screw.

[0022] The protective box is equipped with a drive assembly, and the drive motor of the drive assembly is used to drive the lead screw to rotate.

[0023] Furthermore, the driving component includes:

[0024] A drive motor is disposed inside the protective box;

[0025] A drive gear, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor;

[0026] One end of the lead screw extends into the interior of the protective box and is connected to a driven gear, and the drive gear meshes with the driven gear.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0028] When it is necessary to measure the distance between the cathode carbon block and the anode carbon block, the slider moves to drive the connecting rod to move. The connecting rod lifts the other end of the measuring plate, causing the other end of the measuring plate to rise upwards. When the measuring plate contacts the bottom of the anode carbon block, the slider stops moving. By observing the position and converting the result, the distance between the cathode carbon block and the anode carbon block can be obtained. This method is convenient for measurement, and the measuring plate does not shake, making it relatively stable and easy to use.

[0041] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, specific embodiments of this utility model are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the following description.

[0042] Reference Figure 1-5As shown, an aluminum electrolysis anode distance measuring device includes: a housing assembly 4, which is arranged on the inner inclined surface of an electrolytic cell 1; a measuring assembly 5, which is hinged to the lower end of the housing assembly 4; and an adjusting assembly 7, which is disposed inside the housing assembly 4. The measuring assembly 5 includes a measuring plate 501 and a hinged slider 503 slidably arranged at the bottom of the measuring plate 501. The adjusting assembly 7 includes a slider 701 slidably arranged inside the housing assembly 4. The housing assembly 4 includes a connecting rod 405, one end of which is hinged to the slider 701, and the other end of which is hinged to the hinged slider 503.

[0043] The housing assembly 4 also includes: a connecting plate 402; a protective box 401, which is located at the upper end of the connecting plate 402; a hinge seat 403, which is located at the lower end of the protective box 401, with one end of the measuring plate 501 hinged to the hinge seat 403; a slider 701, which is slidably disposed inside the connecting plate 402; a first scale 406 is provided on one side of the connecting plate 402; a second groove 504 is provided on the bottom of the measuring plate 501; the hinge slider 503 is slidably disposed inside the second groove 504; and a second scale 502 is provided on one side of the measuring plate 501.

[0044] Preferably, the adjusting assembly 7 further includes a lead screw 702 rotatably disposed inside the connecting plate 402, the connecting plate 402 having a first slide groove 404 inside, the lead screw 702 being rotatably disposed within the first slide groove 404; the slider 701 is connected to the lead screw 702; the protective box 401 has a driving assembly 6 inside, used to drive the lead screw 702 to rotate.

[0045] Specifically, the drive assembly 6 can drive the lead screw 702 to rotate, which in turn drives the slider 701 to move, thereby moving the measuring plate 501 for convenient measurement. At the same time, the measuring plate 501 is more stable, preventing wobbling.

[0046] Preferably, the drive assembly 6 includes: a drive motor 601, which is disposed inside the protective box 401; a drive gear 602, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 601; and a lead screw 702, one end of which extends into the interior of the protective box 401 and is connected to a driven gear 703, with the drive gear 602 meshing with the driven gear 703.

[0047] Specifically, the drive motor 601 drives the drive gear 602 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 703 to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw 702 to rotate, thus facilitating measurement. The driven gear 703 has a larger diameter than the drive gear 602, allowing for more precise adjustments to the measuring plate 501.

[0048] Furthermore, the protective box 401 is equipped with a rotation count detection component, which is used to detect the number of rotations of the driven gear 703, the drive gear 602, or the drive shaft of the drive motor 601, and calculate the distance between the position of the slider 701 and the anode carbon block 3 and the cathode carbon block 2.

[0049] It should be noted that the rotation count detection component can be any of a magnetoresistive sensor, photoelectric encoder, or magnetic encoder, and a controller and signal transceiver should be set up for use together.

[0050] Workflow: In use, the connecting plate 402 is placed on the inclined surface of the electrolytic cell 1 and fixed in position. One end of the connecting plate 402 is positioned on top of the cathode carbon block 2, so that the measuring plate 501 is located between the cathode carbon block 2 and the anode carbon block 3. When it is necessary to measure the distance between the cathode carbon block 2 and the anode carbon block 3, the position of the slider 701 is moved, causing the slider 701 to move towards the hinge seat 403. The movement of the slider 701 drives the connecting rod 405 to move, and the connecting rod 405 drives the hinge slider 503 to slide inside the measuring plate 501, while simultaneously lifting the other end of the measuring plate 501, causing the other end of the measuring plate 501 to rise. When the measuring plate 501 contacts the bottom of the anode carbon block 3, the movement of the slider 701 is stopped, and the position of the slider 701 on the connecting plate 402 is observed. The first scale 406 is used for reference. By observing the position of 701 and converting the values, the distance between the cathode carbon block 2 and the anode carbon block 3 can be obtained.

[0051] The drive motor 601 can drive the drive gear 602 to rotate, the drive gear 602 can drive the driven gear 703 to rotate, and the driven gear 703 can drive the lead screw 702 to rotate.

[0052] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
